Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 360 An Shengbo

Zhaozheng Hall.

"Recently, the rumors about Old Seven have spread outside the palace and are getting more and more intense. Old Seven is acting like he has violated a heavenly law. Do you brothers have anything to say?"

Qin Zhi sat in front of the imperial table, his eyes deep and sharp, a faint smile on his lips, looking down at the disciples kneeling below.

The eight princes knelt in two rows, their teeth arranged from one to nine, with their heads lowered. Their minds were filled with mixed feelings and their eyes had different expressions, but none of that could be seen on their faces.

The third prince Qin Mingjin and the fourth prince Qin Mingyin glanced at each other quietly, and then looked at the eldest prince Qin Mingyu tacitly, but they saw that the eldest prince Qin Mingyu, as the eldest brother, seemed to be unaware and had no reaction.

Qin Zhi was on top, watching the kneeling Third Prince reach out from behind his butt to push the First Prince, but the First Prince remained unmoved, and could not help laughing.

"Qin Mingyu!" Qin Zhi said coldly.

"Your son is here." The eldest prince Qin Mingyu was very calm.

"As the eldest of the princes and their big brother, don't you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is a big deal. Your Majesty, neither your words nor your intention to punish my seventh brother for rumors of unknown truth or falsehood, I want to plead for mercy but I don't know what to say."

It's none of his business, so just ignore it. The rumor is not directed at him, so it's up to him.

The eldest prince Qin Mingyu thought calmly.

"Beg for mercy? You are quite good at currying favor." Qin Zhi chuckled.

"What do you want to say, Third and Fourth Brothers?"

"Seventh brother is kind-hearted. Someone must have secretly spread rumors to frame him. Father, you are wise and will not punish seventh brother for these malicious rumors. However, if the case of the burning of the concubine in the palace is not thoroughly investigated, seventh brother will not have peace for a day. Father..."

"Come on, you just keep talking nonsense. None of it is useful. You go ahead and do the talking, Old Four."

"Father, why don't we ask the Five Cities Military Department to arrest all those who spread rumors in the capital? We will always be able to find some clues."

"You are so smart, don't you know that it is more difficult to guard against the people than to guard against the river? You did it on purpose, didn't you? Huh?"

"I have been busy with my third brother recently to sort out the tasks that the emperor entrusted to us. I have not had enough sleep and I am a little confused. Please forgive me, emperor."

The fourth prince Qin Mingyun bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Old fifth."

"While I am here, a little concubine has died and is dragging down the prince. I will take my seventh and eighth brothers to patrol the borders. I don't have the energy to care about these little things. I have nothing to say.

How about...Father lend me the people from the Five Cities Army and I will take my sixth and seventh brothers to wash away the innocence of my seventh brother with blood. Why are there so many unnecessary people? Just kill them all."

"Get lost, you reckless man! That's just wishful thinking, is this how you want to wash your reputation? Go back and pack your things. If you don't come up with any solutions during your southern tour, I will hold you accountable." Qin Zhi sneered.

"Then I will take my sixth, seventh and eighth brothers back with me."

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang got up and was about to pull the sixth prince Qin Mingjun, and to drive away the seventh prince Qin Mingrui and the eighth prince Qin Mingyan, wanting to slip away with his three brothers who had not yet spoken.

"Stop, you're going to patrol the south, what does that have to do with your sixth brother? Your seventh brother is the victim, the person involved. You're going to take him away without resolving his issue?

I see you don't even want to pay attention to me, so be good and kneel at the door."

"Yes, Father."

The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang left the hall dejectedly.

The emperor is definitely trying to make things difficult for them on purpose.

"Sixth Brother, who do you think is framing your seventh brother? You are the last one to arrive today."

"I, your son, dare not speak nonsense.

However, when I came here, I passed by the Ye Ting and happened to hear that all the palace maids and eunuchs who spread the rumors in the palace were arrested by the people in the Ye Ting. I followed the clues and found the body of a eunuch named An Shengbo at the bottom of the well. The clue was cut off.

I made a special inquiry, but I am late. An Shengbo is a eunuch in Lanlin Palace. After thinking about it, I really can't think of any motive for the honest Shunpin to frame my seventh brother. I suspect that someone must be trying to implicate my eldest brother. "
