Chapter 573: Gossip
And those ministers, who had always wanted Xie Yutang to ascend the throne before, all turned to the Nine Princes after the Nine Princes returned. The Nine Princes were originally idle clouds and wild cranes, and they had no interest in the emperor's position, but there were few people left in the royal family, and he was the son of the first emperor, no matter what, this position should be his.
Under the strong recommendation of everyone, he could only agree to ascend the throne.
And here, as soon as the Nine Princes relented, everyone became busy, from Qin Tianjian to the Ministry of Rites, everyone was busy with the new emperor's accession to the throne.
As the regent, Xie Yutang naturally can't be idle.
He had been busy for several days, and he didn't go back until midnight until the middle of the night, and at this time, Ji Wan had already slept. Xie Yutang went to bathe first and came back, sat at the head of the bed, and looked at Chi Wan's sleeping face for a long time.
Wanwan at this time is the most well-behaved, she will not give him a cold face, nor will she scold him, Xie Yutang can watch it peacefully for a long time, and then sleep with someone in her arms.
Chi Wan slept very deeply, she didn't know at first, but sometimes, Xie Yutang hugged her too tightly, and she could wake up in her sleep, so she kicked people down without hesitation.
Xie Yutang was not angry, hugged the quilt, and obediently went to sleep on the couch. But the next day it was still the same, Ji Wan had no choice but to close the door before going to bed.
But Xie Yutang has his own way, she can close the door, he can also open it, Chi Wan didn't know it at first, but then she reacted when she saw the window, this person actually came in through the window.
Ji Wan couldn't close the window too, so she could only let him go, as if she didn't know anything.
Fortunately, Xie Yutang was really too busy, otherwise, she really didn't know how to face him.
The Nine Princes successfully ascended the throne, and Xie Yutang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, after this matter was over, he would have time to accompany Chi Wan more.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't know which one was chewing on the root of his tongue, and the gossip swept through the entire capital like a gust of wind.
In the teahouse, people who had been busy all day randomly found a place to sit down.
"It's really hot." Lao Li took the towel hanging around his neck and wiped it indiscriminately, "Xiao Er, let's have a pot of tea!" ”
"Okay." Xiao Er just put down the tea in his hand, and when he heard Lao Li's words, he hurriedly answered with a loud voice.
Lao Li sat at a table alone, bored, and suddenly saw Lao Wang of the neighbor's house sitting at the table next to him, so he leaned over.
"Lao Wang." He patted Lao Wang's shoulder, which made Lao Wang's whole body feel excited, and when he turned his head to see a familiar face, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be Lao Li, you scared me to death." ”
"What are you guys talking about?" Lao Li looked at them suspiciously.
The group of people exchanged a vague look, and pulled him mysteriously, "You don't know yet, now it's about to spread all over the capital." The one we are enthroned now has long had an affair with the princess regent. ”
"You can't talk nonsense." Lao Li hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, and subconsciously looked around, for fear that if he was heard, he would be killed.
"Where is this nonsense, you see, the regent already has the supreme power, and after the ninth prince comes back, he can still give up that position, I guess it's just for the regent."
"No, it is said that the regent has a deep affection for the princess regent, if it weren't for her, how could he give up the throne."
"Tsk, there was only such a saying in those who listened to singing before, but now I have seen the live-action version of Ai Jiangshan and loves beauty even more."
Everyone discussed it word by word, so that Lao Li couldn't help but start to believe it.
"Guest, your tea is here." As Xiao Er's voice sounded, the people who were in full swing who were talking just now suddenly fell silent, as if the people who had arranged the royal family just now were not them.
A pot of tea was drunk quickly, and everyone still had their own work to do, and it was only a temporary rest here. At this time, they all said goodbye one after another.
After Lao Li left the teahouse, he couldn't give up all day, and his mind kept thinking about the secrets he heard in the teahouse. Even when I'm working, I'm in a trance.
When he almost hit the pillar again, he finally decided to stop working today and go home to rest.
After returning home, he couldn't keep the secret, and told his mother-in-law what he had seen in the teahouse.
This scene is also being staged in many households. The women's families get together and love to talk about these gossips, so before Xie Yutang could curb it, this gossip swept the entire capital.
"General, that's all your subordinates have learned." The guards kneeling on the ground trembled and told Xie Yutang everything about it.
Xie Yutang's eyes were split when he heard this, and his whole person trembled uncontrollably.
I don't know how long it took, just when the guards thought that Xie Yutang would no longer be angry, he slammed the table and rushed out of the door, and the Nine Princes on the side couldn't even pull it.
The guard was startled, and the whole person fell to the ground.
The Ninth Prince looked at the guards who were sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh, "Go down, there's nothing for you to do here." With that, he raised his feet and chased after him.
He had to hurry up to Xie Yutang, otherwise looking at him like that, he was afraid that something would happen to Chi Wan.
When he was around the corner, he didn't think about it, and ran to the room where Ji Wan was.
Chi Wan didn't want to go to Xie Yutang during this time, she was learning embroidery with the maid in the room, she had never been in contact with these things before, she just started to take a needle, and the embroidered things were crooked, and the bolder little maids, squeezing each other's eyebrows, were patted on the head by Chi Wan.
"No big or small, they dare to make fun of me." Chi Wan glared at them, looking menacing, in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that she was coquettish.
The little maids were not afraid of her, and laughed all over the place.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was just right, I suddenly heard a bang, and I saw Xie Yutang walking in from the backlight.
As soon as the maids wanted to salute, Xie Yutang waved his hand impatiently and motioned for them to stand back.
Those maids, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while. It was Chi Wan who made a voice and broke the silence of the room.
"Alright, you go down first."
Hearing Chi Wan's words, those maids retreated tremblingly, and before leaving, they thoughtfully closed the door.
With a creak, the room fell silent again.
"What's the matter?" Chi Wan glanced at Xie Yutang and asked coldly.
Xie Yutang's eyes were scarlet, standing in place, snorting and panting, like a beast ready to attack, ready to rush out to hunt down its prey at any time.
Just before Chi Wan could react, Xie Yutang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her neck with his hand.
Ji Wan was caught off guard and choked her breath, her pupils couldn't help but dilate, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"Say, between you and the Nine Princes, haven't you had an affair a long time ago?" Xie Yutang's face was hideous, and he almost felt like he wanted to strangle Chi Wan to death.
Under the difficulty of breathing, where could Chi Wan still listen to his words, and her hands desperately pulled Xie Yutang, trying to break away from his shackles.
But she is a weak woman, where is Xie Yutang's opponent, not to mention, Xie Yutang is still a general who has fought for so many years, in terms of strength, he is already greater than many ordinary men.
At this time, Xie Yutang had completely lost his mind. Ji Wan tried hard many times, but there was nothing she could do about him, and after a long time, her eyes began to roll her eyes.
When the Nine Princes entered the door, they saw this scene, and he was so frightened that he immediately pounced.
With the joint efforts of him and Chi Wan, Xie Yutang was finally pushed away.
The air slammed into her lungs, causing Ji Wan to cough violently. The sound of a heart-rending cough echoed in the room, causing Xie Yutang to regain some consciousness, and a touch of unbearability flashed on his face.
But when he saw the Nine Princes on the side, the anger in his heart surged again.
"Xie Yutang, what are you crazy about!" The Ninth Prince looked at Chi Wan's situation with concern, and while watching, he also glanced at Xie Yutang next to him with his eyes, for fear that he would go crazy again.
Chi Wan's skin was delicate, and under such a strong force, a layer of red marks quickly appeared, which looked quite terrifying.
The Nine Princes cautiously stretched out his fingers, not daring to touch Chi Wan's red marks.
This scene fell in Xie Yutang's eyes, and the rumors were confirmed, and he suddenly became angry, "You guys...... You two adulterers and adulteresses! ”
"Xie Yutang, what are you talking about!" The Nine Princes had endured him long enough, and when he heard this, he straightened up suddenly and swung his fist over. Xie Yutang didn't check for a while, and was beaten by the Nine Princes, and the whole person was surprised to the side, sweeping off the teapot and teacup on the table.
With a bang, the ground was in shambles.
The Ninth Prince wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Chi Wan.
"Wanwan?" He looked at Chi Wan suspiciously, "Don't stop me, let me wake him up!" ”
"No need." Chi Wan's voice was slightly hoarse, but more of a bone-chilling coldness, "Adulterer? Whore? Xie Yutang, you touch your conscience and ask yourself, when has I, Chi Wan, ever been sorry for you?! ”
Xie Yutang staggered to the corner of the table and stood up, and when he saw the hatred in Chi Wan's eyes, he lost his mind for a moment, but his mouth still didn't let him, "When?" When will you know it in your own heart! ”
"Yes, I know in my own heart, I know that when the crown prince and the king of Chu seized the throne, you risked your life to find the jade seal, and I know that when the king of Chu chased and killed you, he was always by your side, running from Dongxuan Kingdom to Shanglin Kingdom, from Kyoto to Beidi. Such a long distance, so many times of nine deaths, I know, you don't know. ”
Chi Wan recounted the past events word by word, one by one, one by one, so that the eyes of the Nine Princes were red when they heard it, and they glared at Xie Yutang with hatred that iron could not become steel.
