Chapter 182 Rumors are more ferocious than a tiger!
The little emperor frowned sharply: "And what?"
Eunuch Zhang swallowed his saliva and said carefully: "Moreover, the King of Nanling seems to think that the eldest princess has an affair with that Master Yue... and he has even hired someone to examine the eldest princess with great fanfare. If this happened in the capital, it would have caused a lot of uproar. Fortunately, it happened in the sparsely populated area of the Dajin Temple, and the monks of the Dajin Temple are the only ones who know about it and won't gossip about it. Otherwise, the eldest princess's reputation would be even worse..."
Hearing this, the little emperor chuckled and said, "If that's the case, why don't you spread the word and let everyone in the capital know about it?"
Eunuch Zhang instinctively shuddered: "Your Majesty, according to the spy's report, the princess is indeed innocent. If you still want to spread the rumor, then wouldn't it be..."
"My sister's reputation has always been bad, so it doesn't matter if it's even worse."
The little emperor had a deep and far-reaching gaze. Xu Yanyi still had something left by the previous emperor in her hand. Although she had promised to give it to him, she had not given it to him yet. The most important thing was that Xu Yanyi seemed different now. The little emperor always felt that he could not control Xu Yanyi.
If Xu Yanyi got dirtier and fell deeper into the quagmire, would she be more isolated and helpless? Would she feel more that she had her brother to rely on? Would it be easier for her to give things?
The little emperor curled his lips and said, "Why not try it and know?"
Eunuch Zhang only felt that the little emperor was becoming more and more gloomy, and he dared not say anything.
*The next morning, Xu Yanyi got up at daybreak and said she would go back to the city today.
As for what happened to Mu Nanzhou and Li Qiuer, she had no right to care, nor did she want to care. However, she remembered the humiliation Mu Nanzhou had brought upon her, and she wanted to return to the city in advance to make arrangements!
Sister Wang combed her hair and asked in a low voice: "There are two people guarding outside, and there are people guarding the back door. I'm afraid King Nanling doesn't agree with you leaving first. I heard that the carriage that Master Yue left for you has been confiscated by King Nanling and is being guarded."
Xu Yanyi sneered: "If you can't go out the door, then go out the window."
She pointed.
Sister Wang was startled: "The window is still a little high from the ground, Princess, you..."
"Let's go, stop talking."
Xu Yanyi grabbed Sister Wang by the collar with one hand and stuffed a rag into her mouth with the other. Before Sister Wang could react, Xu Yanyi grabbed her and jumped out of the window.
Sister Wang was so scared that she wanted to scream, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't scream at all.
Xu Yanyi landed lightly on the ground. As soon as she let go of Sister Wang's collar, Sister Wang was so scared that her legs went limp and she sat on the ground. Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes at her with disdain: "Where did all the energy you had when you were young to do bad things go?"
It took Sister Wang a long time to recover: "I am just afraid of heights."
Xu Yanyi ignored her and looked around. According to the floor plan of the inn that she had memorized in her mind, she stood in place to measure the position, then accurately jumped over the roof of one side with Sister Wang in her hand. Below was the stable.
Good guys!
So accurate?
There was inexplicably a hint of shock in Sister Wang's eyes when she looked at Xu Yanyi.
Before Sister Wang could figure out what Xu Yanyi was going to do, Xu Yanyi had already pulled out a handful of fire starters from his arms.
"Princess, what are you doing..."
Sister Wang was shocked.
Xu Yanyi directly lit the fire stick and threw it towards the pile of straw and wood next to the stable.
Boom.
The straw and wood immediately caught fire, and the servants guarding the stable were startled and screamed one after another.
"Oh my God! There's a fire! Put out the fire!"
"Water! Where is the water?"
"Hurry up! Hurry up and protect the prince!"
Taking advantage of their confusion, Xu Yanyi dragged Sister Wang down from the eaves. Xu Yanyi put the rope tied to the carriage down, pointed to the position of the coachman and said to Sister Wang: "Go drive the carriage, don't tell me you can't do it."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Sister Wang hurried up.
Xu Yanyi curled her lips in contempt, untied the ropes on another carriage that was obviously Mu Nanzhou's, and whipped the horse on its back.
“Ouch!”
The horse roared and rushed out. The carriage, which had separated from the horse, fell to the ground with a bang due to inertia and was broken into pieces.
Xu Yanyi jumped into her carriage briskly and told Sister Wang: "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Sister Wang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and drove the carriage out at full speed.
The fire was causing thick smoke. Mu Nanzhou and Li Qiu'er were still eating breakfast in the room when they suddenly felt the choking smoke coming in. Mu Nanzhou subconsciously grabbed his sword and ran out, bumping into a servant who was running over: "My Lord, my Lord, there's a fire, hurry up!"
"Why is there a fire?"
Mu Nanzhou subconsciously went to Xu Yanyi's room. He didn't know whether the woman had woken up or not.
The servant said hurriedly: "Yes, it was done by Princess Nanling. She also took advantage of the chaos to release the horses of your carriage. Your Majesty, hurry up and leave. The fire is getting worse!"
It was actually Xu Yanyi who did it!
Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth in angrily. This damn woman was indeed vicious!
He turned back to Li Qiuer's room and picked up the trembling Li Qiuer by the waist: "Let's go!"
*The carriage did not stop along the way, and Xu Yanyi had returned to the capital before dark.
But as soon as she entered the city, Xu Yanyi heard a lot of gossips from passers-by as they walked, and some people even shouted loudly to tell others.
"Have you heard that the Princess of Nanling is having an affair with someone outside?"
"What's the big deal? I heard that they couldn't help themselves in front of the Buddha statue in Shwedagon Pagoda."
"Oh, she wasn't a good person to begin with. It's normal for a woman who killed her own father to do such a disgusting thing."
"But doesn't she like Prince Nanling very much?"
"So what? Isn't it known to everyone that Prince Nanling doesn't like her now? I guess she was hungry and couldn't help herself, so she cheated on him. There's news that Prince Nanling caught her in the act, and her bellyband and underwear were hanging on the Buddha's face. Tsk tsk, it's really unbearable to watch."
Xu Yanyi, who was in the carriage, looked cold and said to Sister Wang, "Stop."
Sister Wang swallowed and slowly stopped the carriage to one side. Xu Yanyi's eyes turned cold, and just as she lifted the curtain, she heard a scream outside.
Um?
She hasn't made a move yet, what happened?
Stunned for a moment, Xu Yanyi looked outside and saw that the men who had been gossiping loudly just now were lying on the ground, and two of their front teeth were knocked out.
But I didn't see the person who did it? There was a bunch of chess pieces on the ground.
Did the person who did it use chess pieces to beat them into this state?
That inner strength is quite deep.
bite.
There was a faint sound like bells.
Xu Yanyi instinctively looked up and saw a person who was leisurely sipping tea on the second floor of the teahouse opposite.
