Chapter 147 Who is spreading rumors

Luo Lingyue turned around and whispered to the guard behind her, "Bring twenty taels of silver and give it to the storyteller. Ask him to tell a new and interesting story."

The guard took the order and hurried to the lobby to look for the storyteller. However, he only saw him talk to the storyteller for a few words before returning to the second floor dejectedly.

The guard came to Luo Lingyue and reported with his head down, "Miss, the situation is a bit tricky. The storyteller said that someone offered five hundred taels of silver and asked him to tell stories about Master Xiao all day long." While speaking, the guard glanced at Xiao Jinghan beside him.

Luo Lingfeng was immediately furious, slammed the table and stood up, saying sternly: "This is a rumor-mongering and trouble-making person! According to the laws of Dazhao, he should be detained in prison and await trial! Go and arrest the storyteller immediately!"

Luo Lingyue frowned slightly and raised her hand to signal, "Wait a minute! This storyteller is just doing things for money. There's no need to make things difficult for him. All of you go out and go to the lobby to listen carefully to what the storyteller says." Her tone was firm, revealing a calm and rational tone.

Several guards walked out in a hurry with their heads down. After they left the private room, they did not forget to close the door gently.

Only when the footsteps of those people gradually faded away did Luo Lingyue dare to raise her voice a little and said to Xiao Jinghan in a low voice: "Xiao Jinghan! There is a spy among the people you brought with you!"

However, facing her accusations, Xiao Jinghan acted extremely calm, even with a nonchalant smile on his face: "I know! Maybe the rumors in the capital right now are even more outrageous than ours!"

Luo Lingfeng was immediately interested when he heard this. He asked curiously, "Oh? Then who do you think is spreading these rumors behind the scenes?"

Xiao Jinghan's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He glared at Luo Lingfeng unhappily, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Humph, weren't you the brother and sister who first spread these rumors?"

Luo Lingyue scratched her cheek embarrassedly, and said with a slightly red face: "Then I will help you catch the spy! Just consider it as making up for the mistake I made before!"

Xiao Jinghan looked indifferent and responded calmly: "No need, I know who the real spy is."

Hearing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in confusion: "Since you know this? Then why don't you get rid of them?"

Xiao Jinghan glanced at her coldly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile, and said softly: "I naturally have my own plans, and keeping them will have its uses." His voice was as calm as water, but with an unquestionable majesty.

At this moment, the waiter came over with wine and food. A pot of fine wine with a strong sweet-scented osmanthus aroma and a few plates of exquisite Jiangnan-style appetizers came into view first.

Then, various dishes were served one after another: the old hen soup stewed with cicada flowers was delicious; the clear-fried river clams were tender and tasty; the braised soft-shelled turtle was fragrant; the Tibetan mutton was delicate; the stir-fried fragrant vegetables were fresh and refreshing; the dry-steamed meat cake was soft, glutinous and mellow; the steamed hairy crabs had plump crab roe; the casserole fish head was extremely delicious; the braised pork with fragrant wine melted in the mouth; the lotus snails were spicy and tempting; the braised spareribs were of good color, aroma and taste; the meat stuffed with gluten had a unique taste; the bacon and bamboo shoots were a blend of salty and fresh.

Facing the table full of delicacies, the waiter smiled brightly: "Dear guest, please enjoy your meal slowly! If you have any other needs, just let me know!"

Just as Luo Lingfeng was about to start eating, he suddenly called out to the waiter who was about to leave: "Young man, please stay! When will the storyteller start telling the story of Prince Xiao?"

Hearing the question, the waiter stopped and replied, "It has only just begun today. Many people have heard about this and come to listen to the story. Alas! Master Xiao is indeed a man with a miserable life!"

Xiao Jinghan said at the side: "Does it mean that those who cannot give birth to children are unfortunate people?"

The waiter replied in a low voice, "Who in the world doesn't hope to have many children and grandchildren? Alas! If this Prince Xiao really can't pass on his family line... he might as well stay in the palace and be a powerful prince! Why would he harm the young lady of the general's mansion?"

When Xiao Jinghan heard this, his face turned extremely gloomy. Nine thousand years old? Isn't that the eunuch of the East Factory? He was almost pissed off to death by this waiter!

After the waiter left, Luo Lingfeng hurriedly said, "It's just a minor problem. It can be cured with some medicine! Prince Xiao will surely be able to regain his glory in the future! There's no need to worry about this!"

Xiao Jinghan said coldly: "Humph! From now on my wife will naturally know whether I am capable or not!" There was a hint of sinister meaning in his words, which made people feel a chill.

Luo Lingyue and Luo Lingfeng were cooking in unison. At this moment, who would dare to talk to Xiao Jinghan who was in a bad mood?

Xiao Jinghan felt depressed: "You guys enjoy it slowly! I'm going to go out for some fresh air!" After saying that, he walked out of the room angrily and went straight to the corner of the third floor.

The two men in black stood straight, knelt on one knee, and saluted Xiao Jinghan respectfully: "Sir, I have received news that it was Xiao Jingyi who ordered people to spread those rumors further. Do we need to take action to stop it?"

Xiao Jinghan's expression looked a little strange and unpredictable. He said slowly, "No need to do this. This may not be a bad thing. At least, many people will feel relieved about me because of this. In their eyes, a prince without an heir, even if he becomes the King of Wu'an in the future, will not pose much of a threat to them! Luo Lingyue! Haha, you really helped me a lot this time!"

Suddenly, another man in black spoke in a low voice: "Prince, we have found out the truth about those girls in Luoxia Town. Those robbers finally sent them to the Third Prince and forced them to become dancers. All this was done to bribe the important officials in the court!"

Hearing this, another man in black asked immediately: "Prince, since the situation is so dire, shouldn't we take action immediately to rescue these poor girls? This will also help to strike a blow to the Third Prince's power!"

However, Xiao Jinghan frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he calmly analyzed: "The most important thing at the moment is to let Emperor Wen know about this situation. But remember not to be too aggressive, so as not to alert the enemy. Just give a subtle hint and let Emperor Wen find out the clues on his own. After all, Emperor Wen is suspicious by nature. Once he learns about this, he will personally deal with the Third Prince and his followers." After he finished speaking, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

If Emperor Wen knew that his son used his beauty to seduce and control his important ministers, he would never let him off easily!
