Everyone knows that Shen Yuanbai is now in Jiaocheng, and the source of this rumor is Mo Yonglin who is also in Jiaocheng.
At this time, an official immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty, Mo Qiandai is a bad parent. He allowed his son to make up such a heart-breaking rumor after drinking, and he did not stop the rumor in time. This is truly an unforgivable crime!"
“Please give the order to escort Mo Yonglin back to the capital, and work with King Beigui to clarify the rumors in front of the people and put an end to the chaos!”
At such a sensitive moment, those in the court who were on good terms with Mo Qiandai chose to remain silent, while the others bowed in agreement.
When Master Che heard this, he was greatly moved.
A few days ago, the king had already ordered Mo Yonglin to go to Yong Dynasty to kidnap Shen Yuanling. At the same time, he gave a secret decree to King Beigui, asking him to kill Mo Yonglin in Yong Dynasty and then put the blame on Qiao Zhongguo.
At that time, the order was limited to half a month. Now half a month has passed. If King Beigui has completed his mission, he should report to the king whether he returns to the capital or replies.
But now Mo Yonglin himself spread the rumor. Could it be that King Beigui’s plan failed and he was killed by Mo Yonglin in Yong Dynasty?
If so, what is Mo Qiandai's attitude? He indulged his son to such an extent that he ruined the reputation of the royal court. Is he really thinking of rebelling?
But based on his understanding of Mo Qiandai, he knew that Qiao Zhongguo was still eyeing them from behind, so there was no chance of success in a rebellion at this time. It was impossible for Mo Qiandai not to see through this.
Maybe... this rumor has nothing to do with Mo Yonglin at all, and was just randomly pinned on Mo Yonglin by the Yong Dynasty in order to alienate the king and Mo Qiandai?
There were so many rumors and the incident happened suddenly that Master Che felt that everything was so confusing and even he couldn't make sense of it for a while.
Prince Jin Yu frowned, thought for a while and gave an order: "Send an order to Jiaocheng, order Prince Beigui and Mo Yonglin to return to the capital immediately!"
"Public opinion is boiling over. Suppressing it now may backfire. We should first send someone to control the situation, but be careful not to hurt the people."
"The Grand Master is highly respected, so please come forward on my behalf and appease the people first."
This was a tough job, and if it was not done well, it would most likely become the target of people's anger. When everyone heard that Prince Jin Yu had designated Grand Tutor Che, they secretly felt lucky that they had escaped.
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Che was also very embarrassed, but after all, the emperor's orders could not be disobeyed, so he had no choice but to obey.
After all the clan members and ministers left, Prince Jin Yu still kept Master Che alone.
He personally stepped forward and comforted Grand Tutor Che with gentle words, and suddenly asked about Che Zhaohua's situation.
"How is Hua'er today? This rumor..."
Grand Tutor Che hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I have already issued a strict order in the palace. Huaer will not be disturbed by these rumors."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jin Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then his expression darkened slightly before he got down to business.
"Bai Er hasn't come back to report yet. I'm worried that he's had an accident. I'm also worried that he might have believed Mo Yonglin's words and misunderstood and resented me."
"As the Grand Tutor said, he is the only one who can dispel the rumor this time. Grand Tutor, please keep an eye on it for me. I will also send someone to find Bai'er as soon as possible and clear up the misunderstanding."
This sounds nice, but it actually means a nationwide manhunt for Shen Yuanbai.
"And Mo Qiandai..."
When Mo Qiandai was mentioned, a hint of coldness flashed across King Jin Yu's eyes, and then he said calmly: "No matter what Mo Qiandai intends, first secretly send someone to watch over the Mo family, just in case."
The rift between the monarch and his subjects was too deep, and even though it was just a small sign, Prince Jin Yu still suspected Mo Qiandai.
"Alright, Grand Master, please go ahead. I believe that you will be able to speak eloquently and clear my name in front of the world."
Grand Tutor Che took the order and withdrew. As soon as he left the imperial study, a look of bitterness appeared on his face.
The king really made things difficult for him...

Jiaocheng.
Mo Qiandai stood up suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
It was not until this moment that he heard the rumors about Yu Liu!
As the general who protects the country, Mo Qiandai is naturally well-informed. The reason why he only got the news now is the result of discussion between Jiaojiao and Qiao Tianjing.
How and where the truth is spread are both important matters of knowledge.
That day, Jiaojiao tapped on the incomplete map of the North, and her little fingertips landed on a place called Yaocheng in the central part of the North.
Yaocheng is a populous city in the north, with convenient travel between the north and the south, making it a good medium for spreading the truth.
More importantly, Yaocheng is closer to Beiguo Kingdom than to Jiaocheng, focusing on the "time difference" and "information difference"!
If the people in the royal capital had already received the news and started a commotion, but Mo Qiandai had not taken any action, and the news happened to be leaked by "Mo Yonglin", given the degree of mutual suspicion between the king and the generals, King Jin Yu would probably be even more suspicious of Mo Qiandai.
Of course, Jiaojiao also wanted to buy Shen Yuanbai more time.
That day in the canyon, Shen Yuanbai was ambushed by the Northern Army, which shows that Mo Qiandai had long intended to get rid of Shen Yuanbai.
When Mo Yonglin was captured, Shen Yuanbai also said that he was following the order of King Jin Yu to kill Mo Yonglin in Yong Dynasty.
It was obvious that both King Jin Yu and Mo Qiandai had their own ulterior motives and wanted to use this opportunity to attack each other. Jiaojiao bet that they had not yet agreed with each other on the kidnapping of Xiao Si.
In this way, King Jin Yu did not know that Mo Yonglin had "disappeared", and could not guess that Shen Yuanbai might have returned to the capital.
Now Shen Yuanbai is in the dark. She has spread the news of Yu Liu's experience as Shen Yuanbai wished. If Shen Yuanbai takes action at this time, it will be a surprise to King Jin Yu!
Up to this point, Jiaojiao's side has already used the situation, timing, and people's hearts to the extreme. Now it all depends on Shen Yuanbai!
Mo Qiandai was terrified, but he was a capable man after all, and he quickly smelled something unusual.
There is no doubt that this rumor must have been spread by Wu Ding, and this move is intended to confuse the people of the north!
It seems that Yonglin might still be alive. After all, Qiao Zhongguo must want to use Yonglin's mouth to confirm the rumor in public.
What puzzled him was under what circumstances would Yonglin inexplicably mention the matter of Yu Liu?
He had already warned Yonglin that the time to expose the matter was not right, so how could Yonglin be so reckless?
unless......
Mo Qiandai widened his eyes slightly and instantly had a guess.
Unless Yonglin was provoked by Shen Yuanbai in a desperate situation, he would not irrationally use Yu Liu's experience to ridicule and scold Shen Yuanbai.
Therefore, Shen Yuanbai must have taken action against Yonglin!
But if Shen Yuanbai really wanted to kill Yonglin, how could he let Yonglin fall into Qiao Zhongguo's hands again and tell him everything about Yu Liu's experience?
Didn’t Shen Yuanbai know that once Yu Liu’s experience was made public, no matter how much kindness she had shown to the Northern Kingdom before, she would be criticized by countless people, and he, as Yu Liu’s son, would also be ruined!
No, with Shen Yuanbai's intelligence, there was no way he couldn't have thought of it.
Then there is only one possibility, Shen Yuanbai did it on purpose!
He deliberately sent Yonglin to Qiao Zhongguo, deliberately giving the Yong Dynasty a powerful weapon to strike the Northern Kingdom!
Thinking of this, even Mo Qiandai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!
If this is true, did Shen Yuanbai decide to cooperate with Qiao Zhongguo after learning about Yu Liu's experience?
No, no, no, this is too hasty, and how could Shen Yuanbai believe Yonglin's words?
So, is there a possibility...Shen Yuanbai already knew about Yu Liu's experience, he and Qiao Zhongguo had already reached a cooperation, and he even returned to the Northern Kingdom just to avenge his mother?
Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai's eyes suddenly widened.
not good!
From the very beginning, Shen Yuanbai's goal was to destroy the Northern Kingdom!
In this case, perhaps he has already returned to the royal capital, lurking in the dark, ready to confirm the rumors completely in the identity of Yu Liu's son!
————
At the same time, in the northern capital.
Master Che took a detour and came to the South City Gate. Seeing the excited and angry faces of the people along the way, he felt worried and uneasy.
In this matter, he really has little influence.
But now that the time has come, he has already accepted the king's order, so how can he retreat?
Thinking of this, Master Che gritted his teeth and was about to step up to the city gate when suddenly an attendant came hurriedly to report:
"Sir, there is a man outside who said he can help you solve your problems!"
Upon hearing this, Master Che turned around abruptly, and when he saw the person standing not far away, he immediately showed a look of surprise!
