Chapter 2073: Foolish People Are Easy to Trick
He didn't say the rest.
But even without saying it, Nan Yan understood it completely.
It can be said that she has no sisterly feelings for Si Muzhen. In addition, what she did before was not only a plot against her, but also despicable. Therefore, Nan Yan doesn't care about her safety at all.
But now, hearing what she might encounter, she still frowned.
Not worried about her.
Instead, I am worried about the people and things that may be involved in this incident.
She was silent for a long time, then said, "The emperor asked you to come here to tell me this?"
"besides,"
Ye Zheng said this, lowering his head, "I, your humble servant, would also like to apologize to the Empress."
"Um?"
"Originally, I didn't make a big fuss about the city-wide search for Si Muzhen. After all, the incident at Zhenjue Temple had already caused a stir in the city, and I didn't want to stir up any more rumors. But—"
"But what?"
"But for some reason, the news of the search for Si Muzhen got out."
"oh?"
"There are a lot of rumors circulating among the people now."
"Oh? What did they say?"
"this--"
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment when he spoke of this. Nan Yan looked at him and said calmly, "Just say it."
Ye Zheng sighed and told Nan Yan about the rumors his men had heard from the people over the past two days.
Upon hearing these words, Nan Yan's face darkened again.
She took a deep breath and said, "So, people among the people already know that Si Muzhen's name was erased from the family tree and forced to enter Buddhism because of her bed-climbing?"
"Yes."
"So, those common people all think that she hates me."
“…”
"I also hate the Gu and Si families for not helping her at all in this matter."
“…”
"So, in the Zhenjue Temple incident, she deliberately lured people to watch the meeting between Prince Wei and Qi Qing, causing rumors to spread. This was her way of taking revenge on the Gu family, and also on me?"
Ye Zheng said: "At least, that's what the rumors are saying now."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Do the common people also believe it?"
Ye Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Fools are easy to fool."
Nan Yan sneered.
Therefore, sometimes, those who hold power must be scholars who have passed the imperial examination and been screened and promoted through layers of screening. After all, they have read more books and have more knowledge. However, those who only live in their own world every day have shallow knowledge and are easily influenced by rumors. How can such people be entrusted with important tasks?
It is easy to fool the people.
Foolish people are so easily manipulated.
Just as the two of them were talking, Ran Xiaoyu walked in from outside.
When Ye Zheng came, he looked around carefully and made sure she was not there before he came in without worry. However, he did not expect that she would appear before he could finish his words.
She held a tea tray with two cups of tea and some snacks on it. She placed it in front of Nan Yan first, and then served another cup to him.
"Please."
“…”
Ye Zheng was suddenly at a loss.
It's not right to look at her, and it's not right not to look at her.
He just hurriedly reached out to take the cup, Ran Xiaoyu glanced at him and said nothing.
Nan Yan also looked at the two of them, only smiling faintly, picked up the cup and took a sip, then said: "Xiao Yu, did you hear what Master Ye just said?"
Ran Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
She originally wanted to pretend that she came here by accident, but Nan Yan already knew that she had been standing outside for a long time.
