"What can't be done?" asked Emperor Mingxi.
Wu Zhonghe dared not say anything more.
The emperor didn't expect him to answer. He turned around and looked at Ji An. "Issue an order. Anyone who spreads rumors or causes trouble will have their tongue cut out."
Ji An didn't dare to disobey and quickly stood up. Blood slid down his white face, a bit scary.
It was just a minor injury, Ji An was already very thankful "Yes."
He bowed to Wu Zhonghe implicitly to express his gratitude.
-------------------------------------
The little prince has been in a coma for three days, and rumors have spread all over Kyoto.
Even though many people were detained in the prison, the rumors spread quickly.
The efforts of the complicated and interconnected aristocratic families were also indispensable in this, even though the emperor surrounded the Shi and Li clans.
But a centipede is still alive even after death.
Under the guidance of all parties, rumors that the prince was jealous and cruel to his brothers were everywhere.
Ji An was so anxious these days that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had been sitting in front of the Xuan Zheng Hall for the past few days.
If he had left the government affairs to the prime ministers, he would have been beheaded long ago.
Catching another lackey from a noble family, Ji An said to the deputy general in disgust, "If it weren't for these maggots, the prince would still be fine."
“Power moves people’s hearts.”
The Imperial Guards kept arresting people, causing panic among the people in the capital.
There is unrest now, business cannot be done, and every household is staying at home.
It also caused a lot of controversy.
"Your Majesty never went around arresting people before, but ever since the Crown Prince was born, we see the Royal Guards surrounding the palace every now and then. Look at this most prosperous street, five out of ten houses are empty!"
"These people are trying to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Who wouldn't treat their only child as a treasure?"
"It was rumored before that the prince was a little immortal. I don't think he's a immortal, but a troublemaker. He's only one year old and yet he could kill his brothers."
This statement caused many people to look at him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just tell me whether the weather has been good this year!"
"Your Majesty only arrests those who bully the people. When have they ever harmed us?"
"Based on my experience reading the storybooks, the prince was definitely murdered! He was only one year old and was always kind. Have you all forgotten?"
The speaker was the wife of a scholar, but the scholar was frail and died during the provincial examination. Even so, the court did its best to help these orphans and widows.
But since she lives alone with her daughter, gossip is inevitable.
If the Crown Prince had not heard of the widows' plight and praised their difficulties, and if the Queen Mother had not issued an order, how could she dare to show her face now?
He would have been drowned in spit long ago.
Even the girl, who was seven or eight years old, looked at the man who was talking with contempt, which made the man leave in shame.
"Our prince is a little god. I, Wang Xiuniang, have always thought so in my life! The prince is kind and benevolent. If anyone curses our prince, I will tear that person's mouth apart even if I die!"
Such things happened everywhere. The people who had received the prince's favor spontaneously protected the prince and handed over those who gossiped about him to the authorities.
"Everyone, I want to embroider a hundred blessings cloth for the prince. I wonder if anyone is willing to lend a hand." They are all ordinary people and can't help the prince in any way. It is also very kind to offer their heartfelt condolences to the prince.
The person who spoke was a young girl. She raised her arm and everyone responded.
"Although I am a woman, I am not such an ungrateful person. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are kind and benevolent, and I am willing to pray for the Crown Prince."
"The prince is blessed by heaven. Let us pray together. Heaven will surely help him overcome this difficult time."
They talked one after another and received responses from tens of thousands of people.
Such a massive action could not be concealed from the officials who were keeping a close eye on the capital.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
Even if Prince An maliciously slandered him, he could not shake the Crown Prince's position.
After several days of praying, an imperial edict was posted in the palace, exposing the conspiracy between Concubine Liu and the Shi and Li families.
A new round of discussion has been sparked.
"I knew they had ulterior motives and were framing our prince!"
"And that Concubine Liu is so evil. She actually wanted to use this trick to harm the prince."
"That's no match for Prince An. He looks respectable, but I didn't expect him to start talking nonsense after his scandal was exposed!"
Some people also said sourly, "If it was fake, why didn't Your Majesty clarify it from the beginning?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone glared at them. "The imperial edict has already written that Concubine Xie, who knows the truth, has been taking care of our little prince! And this is all for evidence."
Seeing that he had angered everyone, the man quickly begged for mercy and avoided a beating.
Little Fatty didn't know that the whole city was almost on the verge of a fight over him. He lay in the bright yellow bed curtains, sleeping soundly.
If the entire Zichen Hall had not been filled with the scent of realgar and soapberry, others would have thought he was just sleeping.
Xie Ruyi wore a homemade mask and touched Yan Chengyu's soft little hand, feeling extremely sad.
She hated herself for not having read any medical books before traveling through time, and she didn't even know how to cure smallpox.
Now I can only watch the vibrant life fall asleep before my eyes.
She didn't even dare to lift the little prince's clothes to see the chickenpox on his body.
1002 When I came back, I saw Xie Ruyi sitting in front of the baby crying. I looked at the panel and wow, it was full of her emotions.
This makes it a little strange. Where are the top two guys on the list?
1002 flew around and looked at the palace people coming and going. They were all wearing weird masks and their eyes were filled with a fearless attitude.
The system quickly opened the panel, and sure enough, the character's status showed that the smallpox was healing.
