General Zhou listened to the whispers of the people at the door, his heart was in turmoil, and his face sometimes turned red and sometimes turned pale.

If he was not in Beiping Prefecture, the jurisdiction of Prince Yan, he really wanted to teach these gossiping people a lesson!

However, the reality forced him to swallow his anger, after all, a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake!

General Zhou was secretly annoyed, and the expression on his face became increasingly uglier.

Qiao Mu saw all this and was extremely anxious. Finally, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and carefully tugged at the corner of General Zhou's clothes and spoke to him in a low voice.

"General, Lord Hua and his men's disobedience to the imperial edict seems to have nothing to do with us. Why are you so..."

The implication is to ask General Zhou why he is still entangled with the other party here. Can't he just stop while he is ahead?

General Zhou suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right!"

Hua Changjue actually dared to openly disobey the emperor's order. I only need to report the truth to the emperor. Why should I waste time here!

He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that this must be due to his recent illness which made his head feel dizzy!

After thinking it through, General Zhou no longer hesitated. He immediately put away the imperial edict in his hand, turned around and bowed to the Prince of Yan, the princess, Hua Changjue and others.

"I came here only to read the imperial edict."

Then he added: "Since there is nothing else to do now, I will take my leave first."

After that, General Zhou left with his followers without a trace of nostalgia.

Hua Changjue helped Jiang up.

Liu and the others also helped each other up, their faces full of worry.

Jiang frowned and looked at Hua Changjue, "Master! Take a look at this matter!"

Hua Changjue shook his head and looked at King Yan beside him.

Prince Yan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Madam Hua. This matter is not a small matter, but it is not a big matter either."

"The Emperor has to consider his own face! He won't force the eldest lady of the Hua family!"

Jiang nodded.

After Hua Changjue comforted his family, he said to King Yan.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, since you are here, why don't you come to my study and sit down!"

King Yan thought about it.

Now suddenly the matter between the princess and Hua Lingyi happened, and the emperor named Hua Wanru as the queen!

They really should be talking!

All arrangements must be made in advance.

Prince Yan asked the fake princess to return to the palace, and he and Prince Yan went to the study.

Before leaving, Hua Changjue picked up Hua Qingqing, who wanted to run away, and took her to the study.

The news that the emperor was going to marry Hua Wanru soon spread throughout Beiping Prefecture.

Then it spread to several nearby prefectures, and then to prefectures further away.

In less than three months, the news spread to all parts of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and of course to the city of Bianjing.

In the teahouses of Bianjing City, people sat together drinking tea and chatting, all talking about the latest gossip and interesting stories.

A fat-faced man with a red nose smiled and whispered, "Did you hear about it?"

"The Emperor recently plans to make Concubine Ru the Queen!"

The person who spoke had a happy look on his face! "My cousin's sister is working in Concubine Ru's palace."

"I heard that when the emperor crowns his queen, he will offer sacrifices to the heavens!"

A sturdy man in a green shirt looked down upon his smug look and immediately sneered in retort.

"Humph, you must have heard it from someone else. You really dare to brag about anything."

"Everyone in the imperial city knows that the emperor wants to enthrone a married woman as queen."

"And I heard that the imperial decree has been issued."

"That person is not Concubine Ru!"

The red-nosed man immediately glared at the burly man in blue.

"You are talking nonsense. How could the emperor marry a married woman?"

"Those are all rumors, all groundless."

"Who would be stupid to believe that?"

Everyone in the teahouse seemed to be lost in thought, not knowing which of the two to believe.

The blue-clothed sturdy man snorted coldly, "If it's someone else, a married woman, of course it won't work."

"But that woman is the eldest daughter of Duke Hua!"

The red-nosed man was stunned, his eyes full of surprise. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Someone whispered, "Then it is possible that the Emperor wants to marry a woman who is married to a relative."

"Yes, after all, everyone knows that our emperor is a romantic man, and his favorite is the eldest daughter of the Hua family."

Someone lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the current Concubine Ru was named Concubine because she looks like the eldest daughter of the Hua family."

"Then the real owner has been found!"

"Will the Emperor still make her the Queen?"

In the private room upstairs.

Lord Xie and several of his colleagues heard their conversation and all looked unhappy.

An imperial censor named Hong slammed the table in anger.

"The world is really going downhill!"

"How could Your Majesty!"

Another imperial censor also had an angry look on his face. "Before, he didn't listen to my advice and insisted on sending Princess Xinrong to marry the old emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"How can this be considered a marriage?"

"This is clearly taking the reputation of the Great Sheng Dynasty and letting the Great Jin people trample on it."

There were also a few old ministers who looked heartbroken.

Xie Mingjue's father, Lord Xie, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He hid the emotions in his eyes. After putting down the teacup, he spoke lightly.

"Adults, please speak in a low voice."

"Be careful, the walls have ears."

Several adults are updating once!

Although they didn't say anything, their expressions were uglier than each other.

For some unknown reason, the emperor appointed Gao Ju'an as the Inspector General to supervise all officials.

A few days ago, because someone said carelessly that Concubine Ru was unworthy of her position, she was arrested by the Inspector General and her entire family was imprisoned.

Censor Hong couldn't help but sigh and complain.

"The style and manner of this person is really far behind that one!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The emperor has not been having a good time in the palace these past two days.

He was now furious and smashed the entire imperial study. He looked hatefully at Concubine Ru, who looked relaxed, and Wang De behind her.

Concubine Ru, with her big belly, sat by and watched with a smile, not worried that the emperor would hurt her.

She said with a smile.

"Why is the Emperor so angry?"

"I am pregnant with your child. You can make me the queen. The child will be a legitimate son when it is born!"

"Isn't it good for us to live a good life as a family of three?"

The emperor gnashed his teeth and said, "You poisoned me, and you still have the nerve to say that we are a family of three?"
