Nanny Li: "Your Majesty, the Second Miss did indeed share a room with a man before her death."
These words caused an uproar, and everyone began to whisper and discuss among themselves...
"No way, did the Fourth Prince really commit such an atrocious act?"
"Since the nanny from the palace says so, it must be true."
"Oh my! Who could have thought the Fourth Prince, so dignified and handso, could do such an inhuman thing."
"It just shows that one cannot judge a book by its cover."
"Even so, why did the Fourth Prince have to kill soone instead of marrying her?"
"Didn’t you hear the nanny? He disgraced the Second Miss and then murdered her to cover it up."
"Oh dear, such foolishness from the Fourth Prince. The Second Miss slept with a servant, she’s already tainted. Even if he slept with her, there’s no need to kill her."
"Alas! He must have acted impulsively without thinking."
"The youth these days, truly...!"
"Look, General Situ is fuming, he surely won’t let this go."
"But so what, no matter what they say, he’s a prince; they can’t do anything to him, right?"
"Exactly, the Fourth Prince has the Emperor’s protection!"
"Shh, be quiet, don’t let the Emperor hear."
These disgraceful discussions reached the Fourth Prince’s ears, infuriating him to the point of near madness, yet he remained speechless, inwardly cursing that damned old woman, thinking doesn’t she know what should and shouldn’t be said?
The Fourth Prince had no idea that Nanny Li was terrified out of her wits by the War Prince and spoke without thinking.
"You murderer! You killed my daughter; I’ll strangle you!" Situ Yongjie, with a terrifying glint in his eye, suddenly charged forward like a madman and fiercely grasped the Fourth Prince’s throat, applying imnse pressure.
Under normal circumstances, the Fourth Prince would have agilely evaded such an attack.
But now, his mind was distracted, his reactions naturally delayed, and by the ti he realized, Situ Yongjie was already gripping his throat tightly.
"Situ... General, you... calm down and let... let explain." The Fourth Prince desperately tried to explain.
However, Situ Yongjie was in a frenzy, refusing to listen, continuing to strangle the Fourth Prince until his face turned the color of liver.
The Emperor noticed sothing was wrong and imdiately called for people to pull Situ Yongjie away.
It took four or five strong Imperial Forbidden Guards all their strength to finally pull Situ Yongjie away.
"You murderer! Qinger was deeply in love with you, and it’s one thing that you didn’t marry her, but why did you disgrace her and then kill her? Fourth Prince, has your heart been devoured by dogs?"
The pain of losing his daughter caused Situ Yongjie’s mind to swirl in chaos; even in front of the Emperor, he couldn’t control his emotions.
The Fourth Prince was helpless and instinctively retorted, "General Situ, no, I did not harm the Second Miss."
"You murderer! Even now, you refuse to admit it."
The scene descended into chaos, and the Emperor’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper as the situation escalated; he didn’t know how to resolve it, unable to execute the Fourth Prince over a Situtu Qinger.
A re concubine-born daughter, she is unworthy, especially one lacking in virtue, promiscuous with many.
Yet Situ Yongjie refused to relent, causing the Emperor a headache; the unwanted situation had finally arisen.
Unable to find another solution, the Emperor had to sternly command: "Fourth Prince, tell us, what exactly happened?"
