The old man didn't seem to understand why he suddenly became quiet. He continued: "Everyone must keep their eyes open to see clearly, this person is a liar!"
"He said what kind of second prince he was last night. What kind of prince would be hung from a tree in Xinshikou and even shit on himself?"
At this point, he pinched his nose and said, "Don't think that if you are clean, I won't be able to smell the shit on you. My nose is so sharp!"
The second prince turned purple with anger, and his steward stood up and said, "Don't talk nonsense! This is the noble second prince, not the liar you said!"
It was also the second prince who always liked to give himself a reputation as a wise king in front of others, otherwise he would arrest this old man.
The old man opened his cloudy eyes and said with a confused expression: "Is he really the second prince?"
The steward said solemnly: "Of course, so he can never be the person you said!"
The old man showed fear in his eyes: "What you are saying is that I recognized the wrong person."
The second prince didn't want to speak at all and got directly into the carriage prepared by the steward.
The old man kept staring at him and murmured to himself: "He still smells like shit, so it's impossible to admit his mistake!"
"Besides, the mole behind his ear is exactly the same!"
People who came from all over to inquire about the news immediately pulled him and asked him about the specific situation.
But the old man didn't say anything more and just said: "He is the second prince, I don't dare to talk nonsense!"
The fact that he didn't say anything at this time further confirmed the authenticity of what he said before.
Because of this incident, the second prince became the biggest joke in the entire capital.
When the old man walked slowly to a quiet place, several men in black slashed at him with knives.
He changed his old and arrogant look, and struck out very neatly. Several of his accomplices jumped out next to him, knocking down all the men in black in a matter of seconds.
The old man said with disdain: "With this little ability, if you still dare to take action, you are simply getting tired of living!"
A few of them walked away, and the man in black got up from the ground and went back to report the matter to the second prince.
The second prince's expression was extremely ugly.
Although he had guessed before that the old man might be someone sent by another prince, now that it was confirmed, it still made him very angry.
He was kidnapped and hung there yesterday. It was a great shame and humiliation for him!
He felt that with his status, no one in the entire capital would dare to treat him like this except those princes!
As for which prince did this, we still need to investigate further.
He originally thought that as long as he took action against Ning Zhiyuan's rebellion, the crown prince position would be his.
Now that something like this has happened, it has become a stain on his life. How will he become a great treasure in the future?
He was so angry that the veins in his temples jumped: "Don't let me find out who did this, otherwise I will chop him into pieces!"
The steward next to him reminded him: "Your Highness, could it be the hand of King Qin?"
"After all, he was the first to discover His Highness today, and he pretended not to recognize His Highness."
The second prince shook his head: "Whoever benefits the most is the one who did it."
"Ning Guzhou is the one who is least likely to inherit the throne among all the princes. He first discovered me because he is a police officer in Jingzhao Mansion, and it is his job to patrol the city."
"I don't meet him often. He sits there with a dull face every day and doesn't pay attention to anyone."
"The way I look today is very different from usual. It's normal for him not to recognize me."
When he said this, his face became even more ugly: "Ning Guzhou didn't recognize me, why didn't you bastards recognize me either?"
The person responsible for finding him knelt on the ground, and no one dared to speak.
The second prince was so angry that he pointed at their noses and cursed: "You trash, why do I support you?"
Everyone was so scolded that they dared not speak out.
The second prince yelled again: "What are you doing kneeling here? Go to the execution room to receive your punishment. After receiving the punishment, go and investigate this matter!"
Everyone responded and retreated.
The steward was the only one among everyone who recognized the second prince and brought him back, so he was also the only one who was not punished.
The second prince was very upset. The great situation had turned into this, and he felt that the position of crown prince was getting further and further away from him.
The steward came up with an idea: "I heard that the prince wants to marry Jiang Huatong, the concubine of Prime Minister Jiang, in order to win over Prime Minister Jiang."
"It's just that the prince thought she was ugly and was reluctant. Later, after the prince lost power, he wanted to marry her, but Jiang Mansion was reluctant, so the matter never happened."
"The Emperor has always relied heavily on Prime Minister Jiang. After this injury, many of his orders were handed over to Prime Minister Jiang."
"If His Highness can marry Jiang Huatong and get the help of Prime Minister Jiang, even if what happens today happens, his position as crown prince will be stable."
The second prince had no impression of Jiang Huatong and asked the steward: "Is Jiang Huatong ugly?"
The steward replied: "It's not that he's ugly, he just has a round face with a few freckles on his face, which makes his appearance a bit ordinary."
"It doesn't really matter whether she is beautiful or ugly. What matters is that Prime Minister Jiang is her father."
The second prince was still reluctant: "She is a concubine and her background is too low!"
The steward smiled and said: "Although she is a concubine, Mrs. Jiang has already recorded her in her name some time ago, and she is already a legitimate daughter."
"And she is now the only woman of the right age to get married in Jiang Mansion. Your Highness will have many benefits from marrying her."
"Besides, in the house, once the lights are turned off, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just like that."
The second prince laughed when he heard this statement: "Yes."
The steward continued to persuade him: "She is actually not bad. After all, she was admitted to the Imperial College based on her own ability and has good talents."
"Those classmates of hers in the Imperial College may not show up now, but they can become His Highness's help in the future."
The second prince's eyes lit up.
Although he didn't want to marry an ugly princess, he could bear it if she could bring him so many benefits.
He thought of another thing: "You didn't mean that after the prince lost power, Jiang Mansion was unwilling to marry her to the prince."
"After what happened to me now, I'm afraid Jiang Mansion won't agree to marry her to me."
He is not stupid, and he can see that Jiang Mansion wants to use Jiang Hua's marriage to exchange for a better future for Jiang Mansion.
It is unlikely that Jiang Hua will be married to a prince who does not seem to be able to inherit the throne of the emperor.
The steward leaned into his ear and said a few words. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You old boy is too bad!"
The steward smiled and said: "As long as I can help your Highness share your worries, it doesn't matter if I am a little bad."
The second prince pointed at him and smiled happily: "Go ahead and prepare for this matter!"
The steward responded and stepped back.
After the second prince thought about this matter carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was good.
As long as he marries Jiang Huatong, the throne will not be far away from him.
