To be a Virtuous Wife

Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen "I Am Yours"

Huang Yan hesitated: "Niangniang means to ... ..."

"Right now, there are suddenly rumors spreading around Jing, and it happened just after Emperor's birthday. Is it that people are deliberately spreading rumors? This kind of movement will shake the support of Da Long itself, it is too terrifying," Qu Qing Ju sighed, "As a citizen of Da Long, I really feel hatred for this kind of person."

When Huang Yan heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he instantly responded: "Nucai understands."

Half a day later, some of the people in Jing became suspicious. Everyone knew how virtuous and kind the Empress was and how deep her love was with the Emperor. The Emperor had even written on the coronation decree that the Empress was a blessing from the heavens. How was it that after just a few days, it became the Empress was jealous, and the Emperor and Empress were only pretending to be together and weren't really in love? And as for the officials who had been harmed by the rumors, they all had done good things for the public, how did they all become rebels?

Was it those people with ulterior motives that deliberately spread those rumors, wanting to harm the Empress and the other upright and honorable daren? Then who was the person manipulating the rumors, were they enemies of Da Long, or traitors to Da Long itself?

The city of Jing never lacked for intelligent people. The stronger the original rumors became, the more they felt suspicious. When the speculation came out, they threw out many suspects, such as traitors, people from the subordinate countries, Dai Rong Princess who wanted to enter the hougong, the Qin Family who was at odds with the Empress, and the brothers of the Emperor.

Slowly, more and more people began to doubt the past rumors and started to feel righteous indignation. They started to roll up their sleeves to find the true mastermind. As to whether they were really angry, or just wanting to get in on the fuss, it depended on what each spectator thought.

In the Imperial Study, He Heng looked at the major officials under him. They were all the "rebel" officials who had been in cahoots with the Empress in the rumors. Thinking about the ridiculous rumors, He Heng smiled as he comforted: "Aiqing doesn't have to blame yourselves. Zhen never cares about this kind of false rumors. Zhen has eyes to see what kind of people you all really are, and won't just listen to the rumors."

Tian Jin Ke stepped forward with a grave face. He raised his hands in a greeting as he responded: "It's chen who is useless and has caused these kind of rumors to spread, harming the reputations of Emperor and the Empress. Please, Emperor, punish us." He was the Junior Justice of the Supreme Court. Even though he didn't have a direct connection with the matter, there was still some related points..

Commander Sun of the Imperial Guards felt his heart shrink. As one of the "traitorous officials who cooperated with the Empress," he wasn't just a target of the rumors, it was possible that he would be punished by the Emperor because he didn't manage to stop the rumors in time. When Tian Jin Ke had asked for punishment, he knelt down preemptively. He was directly connected to the matter.

"Zhen has already said that aiqing doesn't have to blame yourselves," He Heng stood from the Imperial Table and personally helped them back up, "You are all pillars of the country. Zhen is still hoping that you can do more things for Da Long, and won't punish you for such a trivial matter."

The hearts of the people presents warmed. To be able to have such a wise ruler as the Emperor, it really was their good fortune as officials and subjects. For the moment, many of the old men's eyes were filled with tears, and they all knelt down to thanks the Emperor for his benevolence. Inside, they became even more resolute that they had to clear up the matter. Even though it became a minor matter due to the trust of the Emperor, they wouldn't tolerate this happening again.
