In the evening, after Shen Wu'an returned to Xiangxue Palace, Qu Wurong, who was worried about his thoughts, did not beat around the bush with him, and directly told him what happened during the day, and then asked, "Did you already know about this matter?" ”

Her words made Shen Wu'an frown, "I didn't know that there were even rumors like this in the harem!" He didn't expect that these rumors would be heard by Jin Yu, so they reached Qu Wurong's ears.

Hearing him say that he didn't know, Qu Wurong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that he would know but not tell himself, and he would carry everything alone, but when she recalled that Shen Wu'an's words still had other meanings, she was stunned, "You mean to say that these rumors are not only circulating in the harem, but even in the previous ......dynasty."

She didn't finish her words, but Shen Wu'an had already understood what she meant, and when things came to this point, he knew that he couldn't continue to hide from Qu Wurong, so he nodded silently.

The most worrying thing happened, Qu Wurong didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, she subconsciously grabbed Shen Wuan's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "That...... Did they embarrass you? ”

Obviously, the person who should be worried the most is herself, but she only cares about whether Shen Wu'an is embarrassed by the courtiers, Shen Wu'an was moved in his heart, held her hand and comforted softly: "You don't have to worry about me, I am the emperor, which of them has the courage to embarrass me?" ”

"But ......"

Without waiting for Qu Wurong to finish, Shen Wuan interrupted her in a deep voice, "They have no evidence, they can't do anything just with those rumors that don't know where they came from, and besides, I won't sit still." ”

Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong's heart finally settled down a little.

Since hearing what Jin Yu said during the day, her heart has been uneasy, not because she was afraid that those rumors would bring her any harm, but also because she was afraid that some courtiers with ulterior motives in the court would make a big fuss about this matter, thus causing some trouble to Shen Wu'an, after all, Shen Wu'an's succession to the throne was still very short, even if he had cultivated a lot of his own forces, it was impossible to subdue the hearts of all the courtiers so quickly, so that they could be loyal to him in such a short time.

Therefore, at this critical moment of consolidating power, what I am most afraid of is that there will be some disturbance in the court, which will make those courtiers who were originally forced to obey have different intentions, thus threatening the position of Dao Shen Wuan.

As for herself, Qu Wurong was not too worried, because she believed that as long as Shen Wu'an still held the power of life and death, he would definitely protect her!

"Have you found out where these rumors are coming from?" After settling down, Qu Wurong thought of the most critical question.

Shen Wuan shook his head gently, "Not yet." ”

"I don't think this incident is accidental, someone should have deliberately spread such rumors." Qu Wurong truthfully said what he thought in his heart, "I just don't know, that person just said it so casually, or if he really had any evidence, so he was so unscrupulous." ”

Seeing her frowning, Shen Wu'an stretched out his hand and stroked her frowning brow back and forth, and comforted her: "I have already asked Yi Fan to check, I believe there will be an answer soon, don't worry." ”

"Hmm." Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong had no choice but to let go of this matter first, after all, it didn't make any difference for her to be worried and anxious now, so it was better to wait for Gongsun Yifan to find out the person who spread the rumors, and then make plans.

Seeing that she listened to her words, Shen Wu'an didn't say anything more, and instead talked about other things, so that her mind could be diverted from this matter.

In fact, what he didn't tell is that the impact of this rumor is far stricter than what he just said, these days, the ministers are almost holding on to this matter, and they also wrote to him to ask him to investigate this matter thoroughly, if it is really as the rumors say, then it will be severely punished, and some people even mention killing this "demon concubine" who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

At this time, on the imperial case in the imperial study, the relevant twists and turns that were pressed down by Shen Wu'an were almost piled up into a small mountain, all of which were presented by the ministers these days, and now he could barely suppress them all by having no evidence, but if those people found the source of the rumors and had any evidence, even if he wanted to protect Qu Wurong and thoughtfully, I am afraid that it would not be so easy.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on Gongsun Yifan, hoping that he can find out where those rumors came from before those ministers, and take the first step to destroy the so-called "evidence", so as to completely calm down this turmoil.

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Gongzi is here."

On this day, Shen Wu'an was sitting in the study reviewing the folds, and suddenly heard the little eunuch at the door come in and say back, the arrival of Gongsun Yifan shocked his spirit, and he hurriedly put down the red pen in his hand, "Call him in!" ”

"Yes!" The little eunuch agreed, turned and walked out.

After a while, Gongsun Yifan, who was dressed in a cyan robe, walked in, and first stepped forward and saluted the person sitting on the dragon chair, "The grass people see the emperor!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Shen Wu'an waved his hand and motioned for him to get up and speak, "How is it, have you found it?" ”

Gongsun Yifan nodded at first, but then shook his head again.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Wu'an was confused by his actions, "Nodding and shaking his head, did you find it or not?" ”

Gongsun Yifan sighed softly when he heard this, "I found it, but it was useless." ”

Hearing his words, Shen Wu'an couldn't help frowning, "It's all this time, can you stop selling Guanzi?" What does it mean to be useless? Hurry up and get it clear! ”

"It is said that these gossips about the concubine first came from the mouths of some children playing in the streets." Gongsun Yifan unhurriedly told what he had found.

"Children?" This fact was beyond Shen Wu'an's expectations, but he quickly understood what was going on, "Can't you find out who is behind the scenes?" ”

Gongsun Yifan shook his head, "I personally went to those children to ask, but after all, they are still young, and the person also deliberately disguised, so the children said that they didn't see the true face of that person, even if we follow this line to investigate, in fact, we can't find anything at all." ”

After listening to his words, Shen Wu'an fell silent.

If it is really like what Gongsun Yifan said, there is no way to find the person behind the scenes, then forget it, Shen Wuan believes that if he can't even track down the person who can't be traced down by the Broken Soul Tower, those ministers don't have the ability to find him out, and now Shen Wu'an is most worried that the person who spread the rumors doesn't know what the purpose is, if he takes the initiative to show up to join those ministers who have the most opposition, it will be very unfavorable to Qu Wurong.

Seeing that he fell into deep thought, Gongsun Yifan didn't say anything more, found a chair and sat down casually, and by the way, he asked the palace maid who was waiting in the palace to make him a cup of tea and leisurely taste it in his hand.

Shen Wu'an was worried about himself for a moment, and when he raised his eyes and saw the person sitting and drinking tea below, the anger in his heart didn't come to a place, "When is it now, you still have the heart to drink tea?" ”

"I haven't eaten or slept properly for several days in order to help you check this matter, and now I can't even drink a cup of tea?" Hearing his words, Gongsun Yifan couldn't help but cry out for himself.

Shen Wuan glared at him and didn't speak.

"Alas!" Seeing this, Gongsun Yifan put down the teacup in his hand and sighed lightly, "You, if you care, it's chaotic." ”

His words made Shen Wu'an frown slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"The most important thing now is not to find the person who started the rumor." Seeing that his usually shrewd and wise boss and friend became at a loss because he cared too much at this time, Gongsun Yifan still decided to kindly remind him, "This matter is clearly aimed at the concubine Niangniang, as long as those ministers have not found evidence to make trouble, quickly find a way to let the concubine Niangniang get out of these rumors, then the things you are worried about will naturally not happen again." ”

Hearing his words, Shen Wu'an thought seriously for a moment and nodded, "You're right, I'm too stubborn, thinking that only by finding out the person who spread the rumors and clarifying his purpose can these things be completely solved, but I didn't think that I was being led by these rumors, and I forgot that there was another way to solve this matter itself." ”

"It's not too late for you to understand." Gongsun Yifan stood up and stared at him as he spoke, "Maybe I will offend you by saying this, but I still want to say that she has too much influence on you, which is really not a good thing." ”

In the past, he was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and it was okay to forget about the prince of Rui, but now he is the king of a country, and the last thing he should do is to value a certain person too much, and even lose the reason and judgment that he should have as the king of a country for her.

Shen Wu'an was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

After saying what he wanted to say, Gongsun Yifan didn't stay in the palace for long, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll find a way to continue to investigate the rumors from other places, and I'll tell you when there's news." ”

"Hmm." Shen Wu'an nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

After listening to what Gongsun Yifan said just now, Shen Wu'an was no longer in a hurry to find out the mastermind behind the rumors, of course, this did not mean that he planned to let that person continue to go unpunished, but the first thing he wanted to do now was another thing.

Since the rumors directly pointed out that Qu Wurong was the "culprit" who subverted Shen Duanlang's Jiangshan Sheji, then he only had to do the opposite and make those ministers believe that Qu Wurong would not do such a rebellious thing, and she had no reason to do so, so that even if those ministers still had doubts, in the absence of substantial evidence, they would not dare to casually make radical remarks.

But what do you do?
