"If the imperial concubine is really worried about Miss Fu Er, she will send someone to find out the people behind the scenes, instead of making random guesses here, so as not to slap the mouth when she gets it."

Concubine Qi's ingenious tongue is as bright as a lotus, and when she meets Xiao Jingxuan in a saw-mouthed gourd, she can't even make a word pop out for a long time.

In the end, the empress dowager made a statement to smooth things over: "Okay, now the rumor is dealt with by Duke E of the Kingdom of E. We just wait for the result and it is in vain to say anything without evidence."

The Empress Dowager was also very concerned about rumors at first. After all, these rumors were a bad reputation of Fu Yinghua, and Lin Chenyao was pulled in. Under the instigation of Princess Jing'an and Concubine Qi, it was said that Chu Xinyu entered the palace. Later, an eunuch said that she was in Fengzao Palace, and then she was told that she came to interrogate. Unexpectedly, Princess Jing'an was asked about the deception.

If it weren't for King Duan's sake, the punishment would be less than confinement.

Now it seems that the Wu Miss Chu in front of her is a bit courageous and intelligent, and she is quite compatible with Xuan Hui. However, the matter between him and Fu Yinghua before was not groundless.

At that time, Fu Yingfu was filial piety, and it was said that she and Xuan Hui were a couple. At that time, thinking that her parents had just passed away, the only person familiar with her in the capital was Xuan Hui, who had been taken care of by her family when she was a child. Xuan Hui went to the Duke of E's mansion many times, but was seen by his servants and was understandable that he was rumored out.

It was not until later that Fu Yinghua and the filial piety were revealed, seeing that she was as elegant as orchid, beautiful as a person, and worthy of Xuanhui, that she acquiesced to the relationship between the two. However, since Xuanhui returned from the war and was awarded the title, the two of them no longer had the same closeness as before.

Now Xuan Hui announced in public that Miss Chu Wu was his fiancée. It seems that he had made a choice, but it was right. Unless Miss Chu Wu disagreed, neither Xuan Hui nor the emperor could repent because of the situation at that time. It was only because Fu Yinghua was not as skilled as others.

Xiao Jingxuan said to the Empress Dowager: "Since it's okay, then grandson will leave first."

Before the empress dowager nodded, Lin Chenyao also said, "Grandmother, grandson has something to talk about when he asks Miss Chu Wu, so let us take the leave first."

The Empress Dowager wanted to keep Chu Xinyu talking for a while, but when she saw this, she waved her hand to ask them to retreat. Anyway, the future is long.

Looking at their backs leaving, Xu Zhilan's face was gloomy. Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Chenyao came to Cining Palace because of Chu Xinyu. They were afraid that the Empress Dowager would bully her when he entered the palace?

Has Lin Chenyao ever worried about her? Have he never cared about those rumors? From now on, has he given himself a caring look? When he spoke for Chu Xinyu, he forced himself to admit that Princess Jing'an was lying. Was he revenge on her for not answering Chu Xinyu's questions immediately before?

In his eyes, what is she now?

Chu Xinyu... A resentment flashed quietly in her eyes.

When Concubine Qi saw that everyone had left, she did not punish Chu Xinyu, she was very disappointed. Thinking of the relationship between Chu Xinyu and the King of Qin, Chu Xinyu married Lin Chenyao, which meant that the King of Qin had more help. If this marriage was successful, it would be a real obstacle to her son.

He originally planned to take advantage of the rumors outside to push the matter to Chu Xinyu, so that the empress dowager could know that this girl was not a good person and was not a good match, so as to prevent the emperor from giving her a marriage.

But now, judging from the attitude of the empress dowager, it seems that she does not oppose this marriage. If she comes forward to provoke it now, it may be a counterproductive effect. It seems that she should go back and think of a solution.

Then he said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left with his daughter.

Xu Zhilan was left in the hall. The Empress Dowager ordered the palace maids to serve tea again and asked Xu Zhilan to sit beside him.

The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "I originally thought you and Xuan Hui were a couple, so I forced him to go to the Baihua Banquet. I had to decide your marriage anyway. I didn't expect the ending to be like this."

Xu Zhilan lowered her eyes and said, "The Queen Mother, it's my fault, it's my mother's fault, but she's not as good as others. If so..." As she said that, her voice was insulted and she couldn't continue, and her tears fell down one by one.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother softened a little.

But now the entire Jinjing city of Lin Chenyao and Chu Xinyu's marriage was known and cannot be changed. Otherwise, Lin Chenyao's reputation would be damaged and the emperor would be untrustworthy.

She thought for a while and said, "Let's think about this matter." See if she could compensate her in another way.

...

Besides, Chu Xinyu was pulled out of Cining Palace by Lin Chenyao. She wanted to struggle away his hand along the way, but he held it tightly. Seeing that he couldn't get it away, she let him hold it.

Xiao Jingxuan was walking in front, but after a change, he was not seen. Chu Xinyu looked left and right, but he didn't see him. When he was absent-minded, he was taken to a small lake by Lin Chenyao. The lake surface was smooth and could be seen by people.

Chu Xinyu was brought here by Lin Chenyao, but he was left alone. The man stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the lake in front of him with a cold expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

His appearance in Cining Palace surprised him, and he also defended himself in front of Xu Zhilan, which moved her a little. At least in this matter, she chose herself, but at the same time she was a little awkward.

Now he doesn't know that Xu Zhilan is not the sister who promised him when he was a child. If Xu Zhilan had not killed her, she would still be Fu Yinghua. Now his identity is another woman. Will he ignore him for this woman?

But I thought, according to Xu Zhilan's previous life, it seemed that she was troubled by mediocre people. He loved Fu Yinghua so much in his previous life and should not hurt her for another woman.

She could also think about it with emotion. Now that he is protecting himself, maybe because she is Fu Yinghua. If he really liked the sister who had been with him for a month when he was a child, he would have had a sense of emotion.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Xinyu didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood with him for a while and said, "The scenery here is indeed good, but I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you to appreciate it."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Accompany me."

Chu Xinyu paused and accompanied him? Why do these two words sound a bit ambiguous? His cheeks suddenly became hot. I didn't expect that he usually had a cold face and his face did not change color when he spoke ambiguous words.

"Sit with me."

As he said that, he sat down on a stone chair next to him.

Just say it, saying two more words won't make people misunderstand, which makes her almost think of it. Chu Xinyu walked over and sat down beside him. He turned his head and looked at her, but she didn't say anything, her eyes were dark.

Chu Xinyu found that, looking closely, although his eyebrows were beautiful and slender, they were actually tall and sharp, especially when staring at people like this, it made you feel a little deep and difficult to distinguish.

"Do you know? Duke E has found out that the rumors were spread from your mansion." Lin Chenyao suddenly spoke.

"I know this, Miss Fu Er has already said it in Cining Palace." Chu Xinyu looked at him sideways and frowned and said, "You shouldn't suspect it's me, right?"

Lin Chenyao didn't answer, turned his face away, looked at the calm lake, and then said slowly: "They found out who spread it. I heard that the man was working in your Yilan Xiaozhu."

"What?" Chu Xinyu stood up in surprise, "Who is it?"

Lan Yi and Zhu Bo definitely don’t. Zi Ling and Danqing felt that they wouldn’t do such things either. As for the others…

In fact, there are not many people in Xiaozhuyuan. Zhao's mother is in charge. She has a chef, two mothers, and two maids. She is from Yuan. Could it be them?

Before Lin Chenyao could answer, she said, "No, I want to go back and have a look."

She turned around and wanted to leave. Lin Chenyao grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, when I entered the palace, I heard that she had been taken to the Ministry of Justice. The people who go back to the Ministry of Justice will wait for you in the mansion."

Chu Xinyu calmed down at this time and said, "I can't do this. Why do I want to spread such rumors that are not good for me? It must be Yuan's fault for me."

Lin Chenyao said: "Wait, I have asked someone to check it out."

He didn't tell her that he took her here because he didn't want her to be taken to the Ministry of Justice after she went back because the man had confessed that he was instructed by her. Once he entered the Ministry of Justice, he would interrogate her and enter the Ministry of Justice. Even if someone above guaranteed her, he might not be able to come out intact.

"Why are you helping me?" she asked.

Lin Chenyao glanced at her, "Are you stupid?"

Yes, maybe she was really stupid. He said she was his fiancée, so of course she wouldn't help her.

Chu Xinyu remembered something and looked at him and asked, "By the way, you helped me in the hall just now. Are you not afraid that Miss Fu Er would be angry with you?"

"What do you want to say?" Lin Chenyao frowned and looked at her.

Chu Xinyu looked at him and said, "They all said that you and her are a couple, I stole her marriage, you are childhood sweethearts, you are young children, you promise each other a lifetime, and you love each other, and I am a thief, and stole her marriage. Yesterday, Princess Jing'an competed with me because of this."

"If you lose the competition with her, will you ask the emperor to break the engagement?" Lin Chenyao asked the question that made him depressed for a while yesterday.

Chu Xinyu glanced at him and said, "Just, how could I lose to her! If you don't know, do you think I will compete with her?"

"I mean if."

"No if!" As soon as she said that, she was shocked. At that time, she would never let herself lose, and she did not want to lose...

Sure enough, a smile seemed to flash in Lin Chenyao's eyes, but it seemed that there was no.

Hey, no, her question was not like this just now. If she asked him, he was disconnected by him before he could answer her.

cunning!

"You haven't answered what I asked just now. Are you afraid that she will get angry?" Chu Xinyu decided to break the sand nest and ask to the end. Is it so easy to fool her?

Lin Chenyao chuckled, "I'm jealous."

Chu Xinyu rolled his eyes in his heart, "Jealousy is a matter between lovers, are you and me?"

"Then why do you care so much about me and her?"

"Why don't you care? You are my fiancé now. You begged the emperor to give me my marriage to you. Should you be responsible for me? Now the rumors outside say that I have robbed you and ruined my reputation. Should you explain it to me clearly?"

Maybe she was stubborn, she just wanted to know what his feelings for "Fu Yingfu" now. During the two years of "Fu Yingfu" mourning, when he was in Jinjing, he heard that he often went to the Duke of E's mansion. Xu Zhilan loves to pretend, wasn't he moved at all?

What's more, Xu Zhilan is good-looking and is known as the number one beauty in Jinjing. She doesn't believe that he is not moved when facing a beautiful girl.

Lin Chenyao glanced at her, and after a while, he said lightly: "She was once a playmate when I was young, and now she is just a friend I know."

Just knowing each other? Chu Xinyu felt complicated. Should she be happy? He is just a friend he knows today, but he was a playmate when he was young?

If you don’t ask, maybe you are in a bad mood, but, do you want him to answer, is “Fu Yinghua” the person he likes? If so, will you be very happy?

Forget it, if you are stuck in a stubborn way, it will be a mediocre person who is disturbing himself.

"So you are here." At this time, a father-in-law ran over and gasped behind him.

Lin Chenyao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The father-in-law said: "It was Duke of E who came to the palace to look for the empress dowager, and said who was the person who was spreading the rumors was found, and he wanted to take Miss Chu Wu back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

Chu Xinyu was secretly surprised, and Duke E actually came to the palace to find her.

Lin Chenyao said: "You tell Duke E that I will take the people there."

The father-in-law responded and turned around to report.

"It's so fast." Chu Xinyu said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Chenyao asked when she smiled.

"What are you afraid of? I haven't done it before." Chu Xinyu said: "I just don't understand. A small rumor actually used the Ministry of Justice."

"Because these rumors have ruined the reputation of the Fu family girl, Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has a close relationship with Duke E. The matter has started. If it is found out, it must be severely punished."

It turns out that I have a friendship with the Fu family, no wonder.
