章節 986: The King Feels a Bit Crushed

"Rest assured, Grandmother. These are all rumors spread by people with nothing to do. This grandson will deal with them appropriately."

"Right, right, Royal Mother, you can rest assured." The old king also chimed in, "It's all because there was a disastrous rat infestation near Pacification Pagoda a few days ago. A large rat had gnawed at a brick in the back of Pacification Pagoda, which got falsely reported as the pagoda having an unstable foundation, a witch coming into the world and whatnot."

A flash of insight flitted across the old queen dowager's eyes. "Why would the capital encounter a rat infestation out of the blue? We fear that there's someone secretly behind all of this. My king, you must pay more attention to this matter. Don't just toss everything to the crown prince. Look at how busy you made my grandson."

While coughing in embarrassment, the king criticized inwardly.

He just knew it!
