So Wei Chi Xunyu and the three hundred cavalry guards who went up the mountain with him to save people got a new errand, that is, they had to stay in the Ganye Temple day and night, with the sole purpose of ensuring that Mingkong was not harmed by the outside world.

The news was told to Wei Chi Xunyu by Wang Dezhao, and told him to keep it a secret, and announced to the public that he was on a secret mission.

When Li Xiaojiu's mind was still wondering who was going to murder Wu Mei, a rumor spread inside and outside the palace.

On the second day after Li Xiaojiu returned to the palace from Ganye Temple, a rumor broke out in Chang'an City, but the common people only dared to slander a few words in their hearts, and no one dared to talk about it loudly on the street, because this was the emperor's scandal.

In this way, this rumor spread ten, ten and hundred, and spread throughout Chang'an City. The emperor secretly met with his concubine in Ganye Temple, which is of course the headline.

And many people are speculating whether the two of them were already in a relationship when the first emperor was still there, or they had already committed incest.

Some people say that the emperor is greedy for women, and when he sees the beautiful harem concubines of the first emperor, he is worried about it.

Some people also say that it was Li Xiaojiu, the concubine of the first emperor who seduced first.

In short, after the news broke, various versions of gossip spread. Soon this matter reached the ears of the ministers, and when the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang heard the news, they were stunned at first, whether this was done by the emperor or not, and how true was this news?

They all know the emperor's temperament very well, would he dare to do such a thing?

As the first emperor's minister, the two of them decided to exhort the emperor in line with the principle of encouragement if there is no change, and soon the two of them came to the Wude Palace, Li Xiaojiu will deal with the government here after the next dynasty, and today is no exception.

Li Xiaojiu sat on the dragon chair and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, he didn't know what happened to the two of them, but he instinctively had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Two Aiqing, do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Xiaojiu was still very respectful to the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, although he already had a great opinion on the dictatorship of the two of them.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang looked at each other for a moment, both of them knew that it was difficult to talk about this matter, but since it had happened, they had to face it. In the end, it was the eldest grandson Wuji who stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, have you been out of the palace for some time recently?"

Li Xiaojiu felt a little funny, and said in his heart:

"How do I feel that this throne is not my own, I have to explain everything to my uncle and the ministers of the court, even if I leave the palace, I have to inform them?"

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others saw that the emperor's face was cloudy, and they were actually very worried, they did have a lot of things to do, and they had passed, but there was no way, who made the two of them the ministers of Taizong Li Shimin.

They don't want to live up to Taizong's trust, they must always supervise and protect the emperor, and make him a wise emperor like Taizong.

In the end, Li Xiaojiu compromised, he took a sip of tea, and said lightly:

"yes, I'm going out for a walk."

"Then did the emperor go to Ganye Temple to relax?"

The eldest grandson, Wuji, then asked a more specific question.

"Presumptuous!"

This time Li Xiaojiu really couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't expect his uncle to discipline him like this.

Now he firmly believes in Zhang Xingcheng's words, this eldest grandson Wuji just wants to be a minister **** and suppress the monarchy.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained:

"Please atone for the emperor's sins, the reason why Weichen asked like this is all for the emperor! Hasn't the emperor heard the news circulating in Chang'an City? ”

"What's the news?"

Li Zhi was a little uneasy.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang stood up, their brows furrowed slightly, and they didn't know how to speak, but in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji had the courage to say:

"The people are spreading that the emperor secretly met with the harem concubines of the first emperor in Ganye Temple."

"Presumptuous, who is so bold and dares to spread rumors."

Li Xiaojiu directly denied it this time, because he has always been known for his benevolence and filial piety.

After listening to the emperor's words, the entire hall suddenly fell into silence, and Li Xiaojiu and the eldest grandson Wuji had their own ideas.

Of course, Li Xiaojiu tried his best to cover up his mistakes, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't believe what the emperor said, after all, there is no wind and no waves, you don't admit it now, but someone must have seen it, otherwise no one would dare to risk killing their heads to spread such a scandal.

In the end, Li Xiaojiu broke the silence and said calmly:

"I did go to Ganye Temple, but it was because I missed the emperor too much, and I went there to pray for him, but I didn't want to work hard to mobilize the people, so I went quietly, I didn't expect to be misunderstood, I must find out that troublesome person and bring him to justice."

When he said this, Li Zhi's eyes were calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

Li Zhi knew that after he said this, he would never have the opportunity to be with Wu Meiniang again. And he couldn't see Wu Meiniang anymore, which made him feel a little desperate.

However, he grew up in the palace and became an emperor for another year, and he has long learned to hide his inner emotions, so his expression has become very calm.

After listening to Li Zhi's words, the eldest grandson Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect someone to dare to make rumors about the emperor, Weichen immediately went to investigate this matter, and he will definitely find out, please rest assured."

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang left the Wude Hall very interestingly.

When Li Zhi was still sad in the Wude Palace, Concubine Shu was very happy.

When she heard that the news of the emperor's secret meeting with the concubines of the former emperor spread throughout Chang'an, she was even happier, because she knew that even the emperor would not dare to risk the condemnation of the world and do incestuous things.

But when she thought of the little nun in the Ganye Temple, Concubine Xiao couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of disgust in her heart, and she was very unconvinced, how could that little nun get the emperor's heart, and why did she get the emperor's favor.

The more Concubine Xiao thought about it, the more angry she became, but she didn't know how to vent, so she came to the back garden to relax, and it was a coincidence that she met Queen Wang who was admiring the flowers in the back garden, and she deliberately played in front of Queen Wang:

"I didn't expect the queen's sister to be in the mood to come to the back garden to enjoy the flowers!"

She always spoke to the queen in a mocking tone, she had never respected the queen, and now that the queen had fallen out of favor, there was no need for it.

"Aren't you also here to enjoy the flowers?"

The queen said in disgust. There is no problem with Concubine Xiao Shufei's mockery, after all, she is the emperor's favorite woman.
