The eunuch noticed His Majesty's impatient gaze and stopped Qin Youran and Censor Zhang.
Zhao Zixu's ears finally quieted down, "We'll discuss this later."
As soon as the Minister of the Chancellery saw the annoyed expression on His Majesty's face, he knew that what His Majesty meant by 'let's discuss it later' actually meant 'no need to discuss it again', and His Majesty did not want to bother with such trivial matters at all.
Putting aside the King of Qin and the Lord of Lanling City, let's just talk about the General's Mansion. The Ye family has followed the Song Dynasty for many years, loyal and devoted, with no negative reputation. To accuse the Ye family of abusing their power for personal gain simply because their daughter-in-law is a follower of the Lord of Lanling City is truly arbitrary. Not only does he not believe it, but Your Majesty certainly doesn't believe it either.
The Minister of the Chancellery glanced at Qin Youran without leaving a trace. The Mei Sect was wealthy and located within the fiefdom of King Qin. He didn't believe that King Qin had not received any benefits from the Lord of Lanling City.
What is the purpose of the Lord of Lanling City establishing the Mei Sect? If you want to investigate the Lord of Lanling City, you should start with King Qin.
After the court was dismissed, the Minister of the Chancellery stopped Qin Youran and said straight to the point, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, no matter what you did in the past, you must restrain yourself from now on."
Qin Youran's eyes were dark and unclear. Did his father-in-law warn him like this because he thought he was in collusion with his master and was seeking personal gain?
Sure enough, even his father-in-law suspected him, let alone others.
He pretended not to understand what Shangshu Ling said, "I don't know what my father-in-law means. Master came to the capital just to drink at my wedding."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Youran walked forward.
The Minister of the Chancellery was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted, as if he understood something.
The General’s Mansion, Feiyuan.
Hua Fushu was invited over by the old general's men. Although she knew that the old general did not like her as his grandson's wife, she still went to Feiyuan out of courtesy.
"Grandfather." Hua Fushu called out.
The old general asked Hua Fushu to sit down, and said in a comforting tone: "Granddaughter-in-law, my Ye family has been established for a hundred years. Those insignificant rumors cannot affect my Ye family. Just do what you need to do."
Hua Fushu really didn't expect that the old man asked her to come over to comfort her. She certainly knew that those rumors would not have any impact on the Ye family. She also talked about this matter with Ye Zelin. Ye Zelin said that the matter of borrowing the master was really aimed at only her senior brother, King Qin.
Did the old general call her over to comfort her because he was afraid that she would worry too much?
I feel a little warm in my heart, what's going on?
This old man is sometimes disliked.
She nodded obediently.
The old general said, "Wei Rui's full moon banquet is going to be a grand one. If you have time, please help your mother-in-law. Don't be so eager to go out unless you have something else to do."
Hua Fushu nodded in agreement.
The old man's eyes suddenly glanced at Hua Fushu's flat belly and said gently, "You and Lin'er have been married for more than a year. You should pay more attention to the issue of offspring. You are a doctor yourself. If you are not feeling well, just prescribe some medicine for yourself. There will always be good news. Even if Lin'er's parents don't say it, you two should have made these plans."
The old man's words made Hua Fushu's ears blush. She didn't say anything, just nodded continuously. The old general grumbled for a few more words and finally let Hua Fushu go.
The matter that Hua Fushu asked Si De to inquire about had a result. As soon as she returned to Guanju Pavilion, Si De told her what he had found out.
Hua Fushu became angry when she heard this. It wasn't just the Qinghe Palace that spread rumors about her master. There was another person who really surprised her.
This person is Han Xingxiu, the top scorer in this year's imperial examination.
This bastard thinks he is the top scholar and is so proud of himself that he dares to spread rumors about his master?
Even those young men who went to the Prince of Qin's mansion and made a fuss were instigated by Han Xingxiu!
Hua Fushu made a prompt decision. If this guy named Han didn't teach him a lesson, he would forget who he was, right?
This Han cares most about his reputation, and she doesn't mind making him infamous!
She whispered a few words into Si De's ear, and Si De nodded in agreement.
"What are you talking about?"
When Ye Zelin walked into the room, he saw Hua Fushu and Side talking about something.
"I asked Si De to do something." Hua Fushu roughly told Ye Zelin about Si De's investigation.
Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu jokingly, "Do you want to take revenge?"
"No, I am just giving him a taste of his own medicine." Hua Fushu said impartially, indicating that he had no intention of taking personal revenge.
"A scholar's reputation is paramount. Spreading Han Tuizhi's story will certainly deal a blow to Han Xingxiu. In Master's case, Han Xingxiu is the victim, and Master is even more of a victim. Why is it that Han Xingxiu is the only one who is at the center of public opinion?"
Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu, his eyes slightly raised, "How about adding some more ingredients?"
Hua Fushu instantly understood his intention, his eyes lighting up, "Good idea."
The Qinghe Palace spread rumors to slander the master and target the senior brother, and also implicated the General's Mansion.
They will not sit idly by and will fight back with gossip when necessary.
It's time for the famous and virtuous King Qinghe to have a taste of the rumors.
Hua Fushu narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly. She wanted to see how Bai Yanlang would escape this time.
…
The study of Donglixuan in the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Qin Youran didn't go to the City Patrol Office today. Ever since he took over, he'd been overseeing various improvements, so even without him, the office could still function normally. Before and after his wedding, his visits to the City Patrol Office were few and far between.
"Your Highness, I have already sent the transcripts to the homes of those young men. When the Imperial College doctor heard about the stupid things his nephew had done, he was so angry that his face turned blue and green, and he slapped his nephew twice in front of me." Mu Qing said, unable to help laughing.
"What else did the Imperial College doctor say?"
Mu Qing said, "He said he would come to your house to apologize."
"I don't need it." Qin Youran said lightly, as if he didn't care about the noise in front of the Prince Qin's Mansion before.
"Your Highness is magnanimous and doesn't care. This subordinate also said so. Just ask them to discipline those children."
Qin Youran said, "They're just kids. If they'd said anything else, I might not have taken it to heart. But they insulted my master. If I didn't teach them a lesson, they'd think I was weak and could be bullied. Now they've learned their lesson. I hope they won't be so easily deceived and fooled by others."
"Your Highness, our people have been keeping an eye on Prince Qinghe's Mansion these days, and have not seen Bai Yanlang leave the palace. Moreover, our people have discovered one thing. In recent months, Prince Qinghe's Mansion has been secretly keeping an eye on our Prince Qin's Mansion." Mu Qing just learned from the guards that Prince Qinghe was keeping an eye on their Prince Qin's Mansion, so he asked the guards not to alert the enemy.
"Are you sure it's someone from Qinghe Palace?" Qin Youran asked Mu Qing with a frown.
Mu Qing nodded, "OK."
Qin Youran instructed Mu Qing, "Since Uncle Qinghe is keeping an eye on our Qin Palace, let them keep an eye on it. We can also find out what the Qinghe Palace is up to."
Why is the Qinghe Palace keeping an eye on the Qin Palace? Qin Youran believes that he has never offended Uncle Qinghe.
