Chapter 2074: Telepathy
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.
Nan Yan said, "Tell me, are these rumors good or bad for us?"
Ran Xiaoyu pursed her lips and looked at her again.
Nan Yan said, "Go ahead."
Ran Xiaoyu had no choice but to say softly: "It's hard to tell whether this is good or bad."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
"At least for now, there is one good thing. These rumors are all putting the worst intentions on Si Muzhen. Since the people have already believed these rumors, we can take advantage of them."
“How to use it?”
"Send someone else to spread rumors among the people, emphasizing that it was Si Muzhen who asked Miss Gu to meet at Zhenjue Temple that day, and that Miss Gu went there without suspecting her because of sisterly affection."
“…”
"And that day, if I remember correctly, was the Bodhisattva's birthday. It can be said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei came to Zhenjue Temple to pray for the Emperor, so the two of them were not having a private meeting."
“…”
"It's just that Si Muzhen wanted to take revenge on the Gu family, so she set up a meeting between the two and then exposed it herself."
“…”
"This way, we can clear the two of them of the rumors and dirty talk."
She was originally just talking to herself, but as she was talking, she felt Ye Zheng next to her looking up at her.
She also looked back at him.
That look seemed to be a little bit unbelievable.
What's wrong?
She doesn't understand.
But at this moment, Ye Zheng's heart was like a strong wind, making him forget to react for a moment.
These were the words he had just said to Zhu Feng in the imperial study. Unexpectedly, Ran Xiaoyu said them to Nan Yan as soon as he turned around.
Could this be——
Even though we don’t have the wings of a phoenix, our hearts are connected?
Bah, bah, bah, what telepathy!
What the hell was I thinking about? Ye Zheng cursed several times in his heart, spitting at his own thoughts.
That's not the case!
Ran Xiaoyu was puzzled by his gaze and paused for a moment, while Nan Yan looked at the quarrel between the two of them and just smiled secretly in her heart.
His face was still calm.
"So you think that if we want to resolve this matter, we can resolve it this time?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and said softly, "Yes."
“…”
"In fact, the biggest impact of this incident is on the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and Miss Qi Qing. If we can use the power of rumors to quell them, that would be great."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
"You have a point."
“…”
"But you just said that it's hard to tell whether these rumors are good or bad. So what's the bad about them?"
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think, Your Majesty, that these rumors come at a very opportune time?"
“…”
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Ye Zheng's expression also changed as he looked at Ran Xiaoyu.
Ran Xiaoyu said seriously, "Although I don't know why the news of the city-wide search for Si Muzhen spread, as soon as the news spread, rumors spread everywhere, and they were rumors that would help resolve this matter."
“…”
"It feels like, like—"
This time, before Nan Yan could speak, Ye Zheng asked, "What does it look like?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at him.
Said: "It's like someone deliberately wanted to end this matter."
Hearing her say this, Ye Zheng didn't speak immediately, but when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly uncontrollably.
After hearing this, Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "Someone wants to put an end to this matter?"
“…”
"Can it be concluded?"
At this time, Ye Zheng raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, to be exact, someone is trying to trick us into ending this matter this way."
"What do you mean?"
"In this situation, the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, the Empress, and of course, the Xu and Gu families are all plagued by rumors, especially the Prince of Wei and Miss Gu, whose reputations have been damaged."
“…”
"At times like this, we certainly hope to understand the situation as soon as possible and restore their reputation."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Not bad."
Ye Zheng said, "Right now, I'm conducting a city-wide search for Si Muzhen, and the news has leaked, so rumors like this have suddenly spread. Moreover, these rumors are all aimed at throwing dirty water on Miss Si, in order to clear the King of Wei and Miss Gu of the rumors."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean——"
"Most of the time, people only look at immediate benefits."
“…”
"The current situation is exactly what we want—it's exactly what we want. If we want, we can immediately use this rumor to resolve this matter and restore the reputation of King Wei and Miss Gu."
“…”
"This result is like someone deliberately threw it out for us to catch."
Nan Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "What if we take advantage of the situation to resolve this matter?"
Ye Zheng said: "If this matter is resolved, the immediate problem will indeed be solved, but the truth will be difficult to find out."
“…”
"Because the person behind this—if such a person really exists—would definitely want us to resolve this as quickly as possible. Once the matter is resolved, he'd be completely cleared of suspicion. Then, he wouldn't make any further moves, and we'd completely lose the clue."
“…”
"Only when the matter continues to be investigated will the people behind the scenes become uneasy and take action."
“…”
"We might be able to catch him."
After hearing his analysis, Nan Yan let out a long sigh and said, "I understand."
Having said that, she looked at him, then at Ran Xiaoyu, and then smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, you see, it is still Lord Ye who sees things clearly. You should ask him for advice more often in the future."
Hearing her inappropriate words, Ran Xiaoyu blushed.
I could only lower my head and hum softly.
Ye Zheng also covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Nan Yan smiled, then continued, "Did the Emperor ask you to come and tell me this?"
"yes."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get busy."
"I will take my leave."
Ye Zheng bowed to her, turned around and left.
When he turned around and passed by Ran Xiaoyu, he whispered "leaving".
Ran Xiaoyu said "hmm" again, and watched him pass by and walk out of Yiku Palace.
Turning back, he saw Nan Yan sitting on the couch, smiling with her lips pursed. He immediately asked, "What are you laughing at, Madam? What's so funny?"
Nan Yan said, "Hey, you, the palace maid, are really meddling too much. I'm just laughing at you."
"snort!"
Ran Xiaoyu's ears turned red and she turned her head away and ignored her.
Nan Yan knew that she was not easy to tease, and was afraid that she would get anxious, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Come on, help me up."
She was now pregnant and needed someone to help her move around. Seeing her about to get up from the couch, Ran Xiaoyu hurried forward to support her: "What are you doing now, Madam, instead of taking a good rest?"
