Wei Fu asked worriedly, "Uncle, what should we do about what's happening outside?"

Those people scolded Wei Fu, but Wei Fu was not actually very angry. However, she was still a little scared when so many people were shouting at the palace gate for the emperor to hand her over and said they wanted to burn her.

No matter how smart, powerful, or eloquent she is, she is just a child of five years old.

She knew that her uncle would not hand her over, but she also didn't want to cause trouble for him.

The emperor sensed Wei Fu's fear and held her in his arms, soothing her softly, "My uncle has already asked Zhang Feng and your Junior Brother Taozi to investigate. The sudden change in the people must be due to someone deliberately spreading rumors. There's no smoke without fire."

"Let them make trouble now, and then tell them the truth after we find out."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to go and see the Shu and Rong families."

The emperor had previously just thought that as the king of a country, he would naturally be able to protect Wei Fu.

But he forgot that even if he could protect Wei Fu's safety, the little girl would still be scared and sad when she heard those things.

"How did Fu'er know that there was trouble at the palace gate?" Didn't he have someone block the news?

"Fu'er and Junior Brother heard someone say that when they were playing in the Imperial Garden, but they probably didn't mean it. Uncle, please don't blame them."

Even at this time, Wei Fu was still thinking about protecting those gossipy palace maids and eunuchs, and the emperor felt even more distressed for her.

There was a rule in the palace that palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to discuss their master's affairs, and they were not allowed to chat while working. He promised not to blame those people, but he was thinking about telling the queen later and asking her to punish the palace maids.

"Fu'er, don't go out these few days. If you're bored, go play with your brothers. Wait until this is over before going out to play."

When the emperor was giving instructions to Wei Fu, Tao Zhi came in with the dozen or so old men, the head of the Rong family, and Lord Rong.

After entering the imperial study, he kicked the Rong family head to the ground and angrily said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the people outside are saying that the young senior sister is a witch and a disaster is because of the rumors that the Rong family head has maliciously spread."

"Because Lord Rong invited Junior Sister to visit their family, their family had so many problems due to their own dishonesty, but the head of the Rong family blamed Junior Sister for all of these things. Not only did he not reflect on why his own family members would do such a heartless thing, he even took his anger out on the small world."

"To pour such vicious water on a child and incite the people to besiege the palace is to punish the entire clan! He deserves death."

After hearing this, the emperor was so angry that he laughed. He directly ordered people to carry the head of the Rong family out and beat him with ten boards first. He originally wanted to beat him to death, but he had to keep him in reserve to give an explanation to the people.

"Also, Lord Rong poisoned his wife, committed internal treason, and has corrupted his personal ethics. I petition the Emperor to strip Lord Rong of his official position."

More than a dozen elders knelt down and said, "We second the motion."

They met Tao Zhi when they were about to leave the palace. Tao Zhi knew what they were going to do in the palace, so he simply invited a dozen old men to join him and briefly told them how the head of the Rong family took his anger out on Wei Fu and spread rumors.

I also mentioned something about Lord Rong.

Lord Rong poisoned his wife in order to marry his wife's younger sister.

When he found out about the head of the Rong family, he also found out about some other dirty deeds of the Rong family, but there was no solid evidence at the moment, so he needed some time.

But it will be enough if we can prove that it was the head of the Rong family who spread the rumor.

Lord Min said with even greater shame, "I was almost taken advantage of earlier. I came to harass the Emperor and misunderstood the young princess. I beg the Emperor and the young princess to forgive me."

The emperor sighed and said, "My dear ministers, it's good for you to know this. How could my little niece be a witch or a disaster? She's more like a lucky star."

He also knew that people didn't like to listen to those stories about ghosts and gods, otherwise he would have said that Wei Fu was a little fairy.

Wei Fu also said softly: "Fu'er is not angry with you, you are also being used by bad people, and you are not mean to Fu'er, which is much better than those people at the palace gate who shouted that they wanted to burn Fu'er~~~"

"You are all good people. You will all live long lives."

Lord Min asked in a trembling voice, "Did the princess go to the palace gate to check?"

Wei Fu nodded.

Lord Min and the others looked unhappy at the time. They had just entered from the palace gate and knew how excited the people were. They acted as if Wei Fu was the murderer who killed their mother and wanted to skin Wei Fu alive.

They misunderstood the little princess, but the little princess was not angry with them. She said they were good people and hoped they would live a long life.

Such a kind little princess witnessed such a horrific scene, and the elders all felt heartbroken.

They all have great-grandchildren, and they love their younger generations the most.

Lord Min knelt tremblingly on the ground and said in a strong voice, "Your Majesty, I request that those who spread rumors this time beheaded in public!"

Another old man with a white beard also knelt down and echoed, "I second your proposal. Their families should also be expelled from the capital and never be allowed to enter the capital again!"

The other old ministers all seconded the motion.

The emperor personally helped the old ministers up one by one and said, "I approve your request."

Tao Zhi had the severely injured Rong family head and Lord Rong carried away first. He hugged his little sister and said with great distress, "Little sister, don't be afraid, don't be sad. Junior Brother Taozi will help you get revenge."

Wei Fu patted her head like he was patting a big dog, then held her face and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Taozi."

She said proudly, "Fuer is my senior sister, how could she be afraid and sad? Fuer is not afraid!" She clenched her fist.

Tao Zhi was jealous. If the junior sister was really not afraid, she must have despised him, instead of looking like this. She was clearly trying to cheer herself up.

Therefore, Tao Zhi hated the Rong family even more and was determined to dig out all the dirty deeds of the Rong family.

He doesn't care, he just takes his anger out on others.

If the head of the Rong family can vent his anger on his junior sister, then he can also vent his anger on his clansmen.

He touched Wei Fu's forehead with his own and whispered, "Junior Sister, stay away from that Meng Xiaojiu from now on. She's not a good person."

Wei Fu nodded obediently.

Tao Zhi really wanted to stay with his junior sister for a while longer, but because he still had to go and clear her name and avenge her, he had to put her on the ground reluctantly.

He said to Lord Min and the others, "My Lords, will you please come with me to handle this matter?"

Don’t they like to play with public opinion?

With these dozen or so old men who are like the pillars of stability, it will be much easier for him to go out and do things.

The elders all felt that they had misunderstood Wei Fu and felt very sorry for her. How could they not agree?
