Chapter 986: Imperial Love Affair Rumor

After Xuan Hongyu left, Ning Shu couldn’t shake off this anxious feeling. She was really worried that Xuan Hongyu would end up causing some sort of trouble.

Near afternoon, Xuan Hongyu finally came back. Ning Shu loosened a breath in relief when she saw that this guy managed to come back safely. However, when she saw the smile on his face, her unease flooded back.

“Master, are you going to eat?” asked Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu waved dismissively. Ning Shu could smell the faint scent of alcohol on him. He likely already ate.

Ning Shu’s heart was itching with curiosity. “Master, what did you go to do today?”

“Eleven, are you questioning this prince?” Xuan Hongyu’s expression turned cold.

“This subordinate doesn’t dare.”

Ning Shu saw that Xuan Hongyu was clearly not telling her something, but since he refused to answer her questions, she just came up with an excuse to go to the city. She decided to go buy some vegetables for the child in order to see what exactly he had done.

When Xuan Hongyu heard Ning Shu say that she wanted to go buy stuff, his facial color darkened. In the end, he said, “Come back soon, otherwise he’ll start po... you know, all over the place.” As an elegant nobleman he naturally couldn’t say such a vulgar word.

After Ning Shu entered the city, she found the that security had become very tight again and there were arrest orders for Xuan Hongyu posted on the wall. The arrest order said that Xuan Hongyu was an escaped criminal.

Ning Shu:???

What exactly did Xuan Hongyu head into the city to do for Xuan Xiaotian to actually put out an arrest order for him? What did he do to make Xuan Xiaotian explode again?

Ning Shu entered a teahouse. It was easiest to find out news about the capital in places like this.

Following that, Ning Shu overheard a conversation that made her spit out her tea, which was that not long ago, the resolved prince had been burn to death alive by the current emperor in Changle Palace. His body was so charred that not even the late emperor down below would be able to recognize him.

As for why the emperor killed the resolved prince, that was because the resolved prince gave the emperor a green hat. The empress Shangguan Qingrou had a thing with the resolved prince, so the emperor had the resolved prince burned to death in anger.

This imperial love affair rumor was everywhere in the city. Even if Xuan Xiaotian wanted to stop these rumors, there was no way he could get so many mouths to shut up.

Ning Shu: ...

This was definitely Xuan Hongyu’s doing. Xuan Xiaotian had him die, so he decided to pin a green hat on Xuan Xiaotian.

T-this...

Ning Shu didn’t know what to say. All she could do was kneel to Xuan Hongyu.

How exactly did he manage to do something like this where he damaged eight hundred of his own in order to injure a thousand of the enemy’s? Furthermore, Xuan Hongyu was even one of the people involved in this incident.

It was clear that Xuan Hongyu would only rest in peace once he courted himself to death.

Not only did he insist on taking revenge on Xuan Xiaotian for announcing that he was dead, he even tried to ruin Xuan Xiaotian’s relationship with Shangguan Qingrou while ruining Shangguan Qingrou’s reputation. The empress of a nation had done something like this? The current Shangguan Qingrou definitely wasn’t in a good situation right now.

Even if Shangguan Qingrou was innocent, the world would still discuss the question of whether she was truly innocent.

And the most depressing part of all of this was that Shangguan Qingrou really was innocent. If she had actually done something like this, she would be willing to acknowledge her crime, but she really didn’t do anything like this...

It was seriously both mentally and physically exhausting. This rumor pretty much put Shangguan Qingrou straight on the grill.

Ning Shu finally understood why Xuan Hongyu hadn’t touched Shangguan Qingrou.
