After this palace banquet, Concubine Su was executed by slow slicing, and Su Ruyi was expelled from the palace and then disappeared.
Logically speaking, this matter should have just passed like this.
But no one knows who spread the news of what happened at the palace banquet in the capital.
Originally, everyone thought that Su Ruyi was an imposter who replaced Princess Xiaoshuangbao's identity.
But who knew that she was actually the real princess, the biological daughter of Emperor Chengxuan.
People all love to hear gossip about the royal family.
What’s more, it’s such a complicated gossip.
What they could not understand the most about this matter was why Emperor Cheng Xuan was so cruel to his own daughter, but treated Xiao Shuangbao, a child of another person, even better than his own.
Moreover, the real princess Su Ruyi was actually reborn.
Xiao Shuangbao, the little princess who was doted on by everyone, was actually a cruel and ruthless person in her previous life. In order to seize the throne, she did not hesitate to poison and kill Emperor Cheng Xuan who had always treated her as his own daughter.
Then who knows if she will be such a person in this life?
Perhaps, the obedience and understanding she displayed now was all a lie.
Maybe I will do the same thing in the future.
However, even after all this, Emperor Chengxuan didn't kill her to prevent further trouble, but instead still let her be the little princess and still doted on her?
For a while, people were talking about Xiao Shuangbao all the time.
They all suspected that Xiao Shuangbao had some kind of evil magic that bewitched Emperor Chengxuan, causing him to drive his own daughter out of the palace, yet be so close to her, who was not related to him by blood.
There is even a voice saying that Xiao Shuangbao is the future ruler of Dongqi.
These bad things about Xiao Shuangbao soon reached the ears of Emperor Cheng Xuan.
Emperor Chengxuan was very angry about this.
It concerns Xiao Shuangbao's reputation.
He immediately sent people to investigate who had spread the events of the palace banquet so widely, and it was obvious that it was targeting Xiao Shuangbao.
"They only spread those unfounded stories about Shuangbao's past life, but they didn't mention how Su Ruyi was so cruel and ruthless that she hired someone to kill the adoptive parents who raised her!"
Emperor Chengxuan was about to issue an order strictly prohibiting the people in the capital from discussing this matter again.
If anyone says it again, we will investigate strictly.
However, Xiao Shuangbao stopped him from giving this order.
"Daddy, Frostbao doesn't care."
After experiencing the blow of this incident, Xiao Shuangbao seemed to have grown a lot.
There was a faint smile on her soft little face, and her baby voice was indifferent, "Didn't Daddy tell Shuangbao before? Even if Shuangbao is obedient and sensible, there are still people who don't like Shuangbao.
"The fact that they dislike Shuang Bao and talk about Shuang Bao has nothing to do with what kind of person Shuang Bao is.
"So, Shuangbao doesn't need to care about their comments, because they can only talk about it on the street. No matter how loud their voices are or how harsh their words are, they can't do anything to Shuangbao."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan sighed, "Shuangbao, you've grown up and become more sensible, but Daddy doesn't want you to grow up, nor does he want you to be so sensible. Daddy only hopes that you will continue to be a happy child."
"Shuangbao is not unhappy."
Little Shuangbao said, narrowing his eyes and smiling sweetly, "Shuangbao is the happiest child in the world because he has a daddy!"
When Emperor Chengxuan heard what the little baby said, his originally irritable mood immediately calmed down.
He regained his sanity.
It is better to loosen than to block.
Emperor Chengxuan knew very well that if he used such harsh means to prohibit the people from discussing the matter, even if they obeyed the rules honestly, they would only become more disgusted with Xiao Shuangbao in private.
Although Xiao Shuangbao said that he didn't care what they said.
But he cares a lot about Xiao Shuangbao's reputation.
Emperor Chengxuan then immediately issued another order: "Immediately dispatch people to thoroughly investigate those who spread the rumors. In addition, order people to spread the news that Su Ruyi is ungrateful, has hired assassins many times, and even killed his own adoptive parents.
"Aren't her adoptive parents also in the capital?
"Let them go around and tell everyone how Su Ruyi treated them!
"How can I dare to acknowledge such a heartless person even if she is my biological daughter?
"If I were to spare a ruthless person like Su Ruyi just because of our blood relationship and pamper her like I do Little Shuangbao, wouldn't that just encourage her to become even more ruthless and kill even more innocent people? Furthermore, doing so would be a disregard and violation of the laws of the Eastern Qi Kingdom. I disown her for the sake of fairness and justice, not Little Shuangbao."
What Emperor Chengxuan said was enough to convince the people.
No matter how much they love to gossip, once they know what kind of person Su Ruyi is, they will definitely support Emperor Cheng Xuan's decision.
After all, everyone hates ungrateful people.
Su Ruyi's adoptive parents raised her with great difficulty, but in return they killed her. This is such an unfair thing that no one can accept.
As soon as he gave this order, the wind direction in the capital really changed.
When the people learned what Su Ruyi had done, they all cursed her.
In addition, Su Ruyi's adoptive parents personally stated that after Su Ruyi was expelled from the palace, they originally wanted to continue to adopt her regardless of the past grudges, but who knew that she scolded them and even beat her adoptive mother, which finally made them completely disappointed.
As soon as this matter spread, the people said that Emperor Chengxuan's treatment of Su Ruyi was exactly what she deserved, and began to praise Emperor Chengxuan as a wise ruler.
As for the voices that were originally discussing Xiao Shuangbao, they naturally disappeared.
