People: “!!!”
They all looked at the man sitting in the corner of the teahouse.
The man was dressed in a black robe and had a sinister look on his face. He didn't look like a good person.
The people looked at each other, and some people bravely spoke.
"Brother, don't say that, or you'll be beheaded!"
The man sneered, "If the emperor really kills me, it will be enough to prove that the emperor is guilty.
You probably don’t know this, but the emperor was diagnosed by the imperial physician as having difficulty in having children!
It is very difficult for a man who has difficulty in having children to make a woman pregnant.
Not to mention getting her pregnant with triplets!
Those triplets are definitely not the emperor's children!"
The man's words were so decisive that the people were unsure whether what he said was true or not.
"You say that, but what evidence do you have?"
Someone asked.
"Of course, apart from anything else, the imperial physician in the palace definitely diagnosed that the emperor would have difficulty in having children!
And you all know that last year and the year before last, the imperial concubine was away from the palace for half a year!
Not long after she came back, she was pregnant! Just think about it, could the child in her belly really be of royal blood?
Every word the man said was intended to lead the people to agree with what he said.
The balance in the people's hearts began to shift.
There were also some sober people who, after hearing what the man said, quietly went to the government office and reported the matter.
When the officials heard this, they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.
If word of this were to reach His Majesty, given how much His Majesty dotes on the Imperial Concubine, he would surely be furious and make an example of her!
The official immediately took his men and followed the citizen who came to report to the authorities back to the teahouse, intending to capture the man.
The man had no idea that danger was coming.
He was certain that the people were all fence-sitters and that everyone would believe him instead of Xiao Xieyun, the former tyrant.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was completely unaware that the way some people looked at him had changed.
The imperial palace.
Ying Xixi was still in the confinement period, and Xiao Xieyun strictly followed the instructions of the imperial physician and midwife, taking good care of Ying Xixi.
When the guards came to report, Xiao Xieyun was sitting beside the bed, reading a story from a storybook to Ying Xixi, and the three little babies were lying obediently in their little beds.
They seemed to understand the stories their father was telling them, with their eyes wide open and spitting bubbles of saliva from time to time.
The family of five is warm and happy.
When the guards came to report, Xiao Xieyun did not avoid Ying Xixi and only asked the officials to wait in the outer hall.
Conversations in the outer hall could be clearly heard in the inner hall, so Ying Xixi heard the official's report clearly.
"Your Majesty! A man is spreading rumors about you and the Imperial Concubine in a teahouse in the capital!
I have already ordered people to arrest that man, and he is now outside.
I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with this matter?"
Xiao Xieyun's good mood was interrupted, and he was already in a bad mood. When he heard that there was someone so blind as to spread rumors about him and Xixi, he immediately became furious.
"What's going on?!"
The official had already heard the emperor's anger, and he gritted his teeth and told the man about his rumors.
"Your Majesty, that man said... the imperial physician diagnosed you with difficulty having children, and he also said that the Imperial Concubine was confusing the royal bloodline, and that the three little princes were not, were not your biological children..."
The official's voice became lower and lower, and his head lowered lower and lower.
He had clearly felt the pressure from His Majesty.
Xiao Xieyun's eyebrows were twitching, and his first reaction was that he was afraid that Ying Xixi in the inner hall would hear it.
Such obscene words dared not enter her ears.
"Is someone outside? Come out and talk to me."
Xiao Xieyun said this and strode out.
The officials followed quickly.
Ying Xixi pricked up her ears to listen to what was being said outside, but all she heard was the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.
Xiao Xieyun came to the palace gate and his eyes fell on the face of the man who was tied up.
He was sure he didn't know the man.
"Come here, take him away for interrogation."
Xiao Xieyun said this and turned to enter the palace.
"Dog Emperor!"
The man suddenly shouted angrily.
Xiao Xieyun paused and changed his mind.
"I will come to interrogate you personally."
Ying Xixi waited in the inner hall for a long time but didn't see Xiao Xieyun come back, and she felt a little drowsy.
When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard footsteps and woke up with a start.
She opened her eyes and saw Xiao Xieyun coming back.
But his body was obviously stained with blood, and there were even bloodstains on his bright yellow dragon robe.
Ah Yun? What's wrong with you? "
Ying Xixi asked and wanted to sit up.
Xiao Xieyun quickly called out to her, "Xixi, I'm fine. This is someone else's blood. Don't move. I'll go clean it up first and talk to you later."
When Xiao Xieyun came out after washing, he was met with Ying Xixi's big, wide-open eyes.
He glanced at the crib beside him and saw his three sons sleeping like little piglets.
He first asked someone to take the children away, and then sat down beside the bed and talked about business with Ying Xixi.
"Xixi, did you hear what we said just now?"
Ying Xixi nodded, "I heard it, so what exactly is going on?"
"I interrogated the person who spread the rumor, and it turns out he was actually a spy planted by Lin Yueguo in the capital!
The reason why he is just now coming out to spread rumors about us is because he was not in Beijing some time ago.
He is running around in our Fufeng country, trying to recruit more spies.
He also plans to find an opportunity to restore Lin Yue Kingdom to its former glory and take revenge on us.
As a result, before he could develop his spies outside the capital, he heard the news of your pregnancy.
He couldn't bear to see our lives getting better and better, so he contacted the spies hidden in the palace, and only then did he know about the difficulties my offspring were facing.
But they only knew that I had difficulty in having children, but they didn't know that I had already taken good care of my body.
The spy was provoked tonight and could no longer hold it in, so he told the story in anger, exposing himself in advance.
Xixi, don't worry, I will deal with the rumors in the capital.
It's time to re-screen the spies in the palace."
Ying Xixi was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
"Lin Yueguo's spies are truly omnipresent. I thought there were no spies in the palace, but I didn't expect there were still some.
Ah Yun, was the blood on your body splashed when you were interrogating the spy?"
"Well, that spy was too stubborn. There was no way to pry him open without torture. I had no choice but to use torture.
Did it scare you?"
Worry appeared in Xiao Xieyun's phoenix eyes.
"I'm not scared. I'm not that fragile. It's getting late. Go get some rest.
Let's deal with the rumors and spies tomorrow."
Ying Xixi patted the bed beside her.
"good."
