This rumor-mongering person is really vicious, and saying this is much more effective than stabbing her a few times. Feng Jingting didn't come to see her after the dispersal yesterday, I'm afraid there is a knot in my heart that can't be solved.

Xu Mao saw that she was in a displeased mood, and he didn't know how to persuade her, so he said: "Don't be angry, Niangniang, these are rumors, they can't be true, and no one will believe them." ”

Guo Wenying doesn't believe that no one will believe it, even if no one really believes it, the people behind it have to be believed. She pondered for a while and ordered: "Manager Xu, we are also old acquaintances, I have something to ask you, I wonder if you can agree?"

Xu Mao "oops", "My mother, alas, you can torture the old slave, your mother only needs to tell me if she has something, how can you ask for anything?"

Guo Wenying said: "This matter is difficult to say, easy to say, the emperor takes care of my body and does not allow me to leave Kunning Palace at will, nor does I allow me to work hard, let alone meet foreign guests." However, this matter is urgent, and I have to ask you to find Lord Shoufu Lu Qifang, I have something important to discuss with him. ”

She vaguely felt that this matter might not be Lu Qifang's ghost, so it was necessary to reach a united front with him, at least to ensure that no one in the court would talk about this again.

Xu Mao said: "This matter is indeed not easy, after all, Lord Lu is a foreign minister, and it is not easy to enter the palace, but the old slave will definitely arrange it carefully and give Niang Niang a chance to meet." ”

Guo Wenying nodded, "Then it's troublesome." ”

Xu Mao sighed, "Niangniang, in fact, if you don't see anything else, the old slave has received many favors from you in the past, even if you do something for the mother, it is nothing, if the mother says thank you, it will be a pain in the old slave." ”

Guo Wenying originally wanted to stuff him with some silver, but after thinking about it, this Xu Mao is also half of the most affectionate, and he really took the money, for fear that she would think that she had insulted him.

Xu Mao also compromised and brought Lu Qifang at noon the next day.

Lu Qifang was too familiar with her, even if she became the queen, she didn't have much detention, and when she saw her, she smiled and said: "I just thought about you waiting to find the old man, otherwise this will be called Xu Mao to pass the letter." He said as if complaining: "But you are also a little uncontrollable, it is not a big deal, the mouth grows on others, just let him go." ”

Guo Wenying raised his eyes at him, "Lord Lu really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, and he doesn't spread it on you, right?" This palace also persuaded the adults, if the adults don't help me pass this level this time, the palace will always find trouble with the adults everywhere in the future, let's see who can fight whom." ”

Lu Qifang raised his eyebrows, "Girl, it's okay if you become a queen, and you have learned to threaten people?"

Guo Wenying said: "Don't say that, this is not just learned, it was taught by Mr., Mr. remembers what he once told me?"

Lu Qifang touched his nose, he naturally knew what he had told her, once the two saw a pair of soldiers fighting, one was tall and strong, and the other was very thin, but with only a ruthless force, the thin one defeated the tall one. At that time, he stroked his beard and smiled: "This soft one is afraid of the hard, and the hard one is afraid of dying, do you know what this dying-loving person is afraid of?"

Guo Wenying blinked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Of course it's a scoundrel. ”

And at this moment, it is obvious that Guo Wenying is playing a scoundrel with him, or a big scoundrel, you say that the queen of a country is looking for trouble one by one, who can stand it in the future?

He sighed, "Girl, you don't know, this thing is really difficult to do." ”

"If it's difficult, it has to be done, I don't believe that there is anything in this world that a gentleman can't do?"

The two of them said "girl" and "sir", recalling all kinds of past events, and the original suspicion seems to be not so deep. Originally, they were all dedicated to the emperor, and it was really not interesting to fight each other like this.

Guo Wenying said: "Sir, just think it's for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, this child is the emperor's first child, and it may even be the only child in the future, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will experience another catastrophe." At that time, the country will be unstable, the social system will be hindered, and it will not be good for me. ”

Lu Qifang let out a long sigh, "Okay, I'll help you." It's just that there is one thing to explain, there must be a reason for everything, this rumor was not instructed by me, let alone spread by me, you should think about who else you have offended, who is most likely to do such a thing. ”

Guo Wenying thought for a while, "It's hard to guess, but it's easy to guess, just think about who can't see this child the most born." ”

The two frowned, and then rushed out at the same time: "Queen Mother-"

Guo Wenying nodded, I'm afraid that only the Empress Dowager Jiang has this heart and this ability, she and the emperor don't agree with each other, and the gap between the two is deep, although it is not to the point where water and fire are incompatible, but they don't give in to each other, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will break out.

Instead of waiting until that day, it is better to remove this harem tumor first.

She said, "How about Sir working with me once?"

Lu Qifang smiled, "What? Do you want to bring down the Queen Mother?"

It doesn't take much effort to talk to the smart, and Prime Minister Lu Cheng's understanding is really good. Guo Wenying said: "That's right, you and I work together to help the emperor remove obstacles to ensure the stability of the Southern Qi court." ”

Lu Qifang was noncommittal, in fact, Empress Dowager Jiang's threat to him was not very big, not only was the threat not great, but she also tried her best to win him over, and promised him many benefits in private. If he wants him to help Guo Wenying get rid of Empress Dowager Jiang, there is really no need.

However, he has always had a worry in his heart, just like he was worried that Guo Wenying would be a chicken Si Chen, and he didn't dare to ignore this Empress Dowager Jiang, if the emperor has no heir, if there is any mistake in the future, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Jiang will come forward to choose a child in the imperial family to be the emperor, and when the time comes, it must be very tricky. So keeping the child in Guo Wenying's belly is really a top priority.

Guo Wenying also knew that she might not be able to convince him for a while, but this matter could be done slowly, and she didn't believe that she couldn't win the old pious woman with her wisdom.

On this hour's work, she and Lu Qifang reached a consensus, and Lu Qifang started from the court, co-opted some officials, and found a way to stop this rumor and prevent it from spreading again. Now there is a faint momentum of spreading to the people, and if we do not stop it quickly, I am afraid that an irrepressible trend will be formed.

Guo Wenying said: "Sir, do you know that the best way to stop a rumor is not to let people say it, nor to be in a hurry to refute the rumor, but to find something new and strange to attract the attention of most people, their attention is diverted, and they will not remember it after a long time." When the time comes, find someone to refute the rumors, and you can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
