Chapter 747: Gossip 8: The Princess and the Prince Consort's Past
The Night King is not an ordinary person. He has a wide network of information and many people's secrets cannot be hidden from him.
But he was not a person who liked gossip. The reason why he wanted to grasp all kinds of information was just to have the power in his hands so that he could use it in the future when needed.
Knowing in your heart, you have nothing to fear. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will win every battle.
However, Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Cao were not something that the Night King could take seriously.
So the Night King knew about what was going on between the two of them, but he would not do anything unless they provoked him, in which case the consequences would be bad.
Princess Gaoyang had treated Yun Mujiu badly before, so King Ye sent people to investigate all the bad things Princess Gaoyang had done, and compiled them all as evidence and gave them to Prince Consort Cao and the Cao family.
Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan with curiosity and expectation. She didn't expect that there was another story between Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Cao. She wanted to listen carefully.
Ye Xiaohan spoke in a cold voice as he slowly and formally stated the news he had learned.
At the beginning, Prince Consort Cao, also known as Cao Hanmo, was a minor civil servant in the court. After being favored by Princess Gaoyang, he tactfully rejected her.
There were many reasons why he didn't want to be with Princess Gaoyang.
One of the reasons was that he wanted to focus on his career and didn't want to be a consort. Once he became a consort, according to the rules of the past dynasties, the husband of the princess could not have real power. So he didn't want to, because once he became a consort, he would not have much power in his hands, and his room for maneuver would be much smaller.
The second reason is that he has no interest in Princess Gaoyang. Of course, Princess Gaoyang had several consorts, which is one of the reasons. And his family thinks that the royal princess is arrogant and difficult to get along with. And once tied to the princess, if the princess makes a mistake, the entire Cao family will be implicated. When getting along with the royal family, it is naturally best to stay away from them.
However, Princess Gaoyang was persistent in pestering Cao Hanmo and tried her best to please Cao Hanmo and Cao's family. At that time, Princess Gaoyang had a good reputation in the capital and was valued by the emperor. She was very popular in the capital and was the ideal object for many young men to marry into.
Later, Princess Gaoyang did some good deeds in the capital and explained that the bad rumors about her were all fabricated by someone maliciously. Cao Hanmo's family began to change their views on Princess Gaoyang, but that was all. They still had no intention of marrying Princess Gaoyang.
Then, no matter how unwilling they were, could they fight against the royal family? The emperor issued an imperial decree granting the marriage, and Cao Hanmo's family had no choice but to accept their fate.
Not long after the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Cao Hanmo found an opportunity by chance and unexpectedly learned that Princess Gaoyang was the savior he had been looking for.
Yun Mujiu was shocked, and her gossip fire burned fiercely.
"Oh my God! Is there such a thing?"
Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu helplessly. Why was Mujiu so interested in the past of men and women?
Yun Mujiu asked: "Prince, how come Princess Gaoyang is such a coincidence that she happens to be the lifesaver of Prince Consort Cao?"
"She didn't say it earlier or later, but waited until Cao Hanmo was forced to accept the imperial decree and was ready to risk his life to disobey it, and then she began to reveal her past relationship with Cao Hanmo."
"It is rumored that Princess Gaoyang just discovered at that time that she had had contact with Cao Hanmo. Then the two of them just happened to find a good opportunity to open their hearts to each other, and Cao Hanmo also started to care about Princess Gaoyang." Ye Xiaohan said lightly.
Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan's expression and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Princess Gaoyang would be so kind to save someone, right?"
"Yeah. But I didn't check."
Ye Xiaohan explained, "Prince Consort Cao and Princess Gaoyang got married more than 20 years ago. I was still young at that time and didn't know the details. Later, when I was in my teens, I established my own power and heard all kinds of news, but I was busy with important things every day, so I didn't pay much attention to such things."
