Chapter 403 It’s your turn
Jiaofang Hall.
"Your Highness, now the rumors are suddenly pointing to the Third Prince. Should we add fuel to the fire? Go with the flow and push the blame onto the Third Prince?"
Xiaoji leaned close to Shen Ningyue's ear and whispered.
Shen Ningyue thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, I can't follow other people's ideas."
If he followed the wishes of the person behind the scenes and fanned the flames, pointing the finger at the Third Prince, it would reduce the harm of the previous rumors to the Ninth Prince and the First Prince, but it would be tantamount to taking the blame thrown by that person.
Although she was not afraid of offending the Third Prince and Concubine Yu, she would not take the blame for others.
“Go with the flow, go with the flow?”
Shen Ningyue's fingertips gently ran across the phoenix pattern on the hem of her clothes, as if she was thinking about something.
This is acceptable.
But no matter which trend it is, it cannot be what outsiders wish.
Do you want to use her to target the third prince?
Who is it?
"Although I don't know who drew this, it did give me an inspiration." Shen Ningyue looked up at the leaves of the fruit-laden thorn tree swaying in the wind outside the window, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's already this late, please stop keeping us in suspense." Xiao Ji stamped her feet anxiously.
Being in the center of the palace, one can naturally sit back and watch the fishes below fighting for food. But now that wind and waves are rising, one is about to be dragged into the water.
Even if you are as solid as a rock and won't be dragged into the water, it would still be uncomfortable if water splashed on you.
"We can follow the momentum of this latest rumor and drag all the princes into this, turning this series of rumors from beginning to end into a joke. The more ridiculous, the better."
Shen Ningyue suppressed the smile on her lips.
"Madam, what do you mean?"
Pu Jie paused as he was tidying up the list of palace ladies and raised his head.
"Now the rumors are targeting the Third Prince, saying that he killed the Thirteenth Prince and framed the First Prince and the Ninth Prince.
Then next, you send someone to summon the Fourth Prince.
It was said that the previous rumors were spread by the Fourth Prince, and the speculations about the Third Prince's intentions were also pinned on the Fourth Prince.
For example, the Fourth Prince plotted to murder the Thirteenth Prince and frame someone else in order to become the most favored prince in the court and in the eyes of His Majesty. The reason why the princes who were ahead of him in the order of succession were caught up in the rumors was all his doing. "
Pu Jie followed what Queen Shen Ningyue said and continued, "Then there was the Fifth Prince. In order to frame the First Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince plotted to murder the Thirteenth Prince.
The Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince framed the First Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince. "
"One by one, it takes turns. Everyone has one?" Xiao Ji widened his eyes and said blankly after listening to Shen Ningyue and Pu Jie singing the same tune.
Can you do this?
"Pu Jie, go and make arrangements. Turn all the rumors about this incident into ridiculous jokes. Finally, crack down on the rumors that are like jokes. Then clarify that the Thirteenth Prince died of an accidental drowning."
"Yes, your majesty is wise."
Pu Jie took the order and went down in a hurry.
The eunuch outside the door suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu wants to see you."
"Let her in." Shen Ningyue hesitated for a moment and ordered.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for our Third Prince!"
As Concubine Yu Sheyue entered the room, she went straight to Shen Ningyue, walked towards her with lotus steps, and cried with tears in her eyes.
"Our Third Prince has been pure and filial since he was young. He treats Your Majesty and me with the utmost filial piety, caring for us and asking about our well-being.
He was also extremely respectful to his brother and sister, never overstepping his authority, and getting along harmoniously with his brothers and sisters, showing them the utmost love and care.
The Third Prince has a kind nature, how could he, how could he...?"
Yu Sheyue cried pitifully. Shuangxu behind her pretended to comfort her while focusing on the changes in the queen's expression.
"Sister, there is no need to test me. I didn't do it." Shen Mingyue said frankly.
