"You can rest assured of that. I will secretly send someone to protect you, and I will never give Zhao Feihuai a chance to do something to you in secret. Han Zhaoyin readily agreed.

After getting Han Zhaoyin's assurance, Bai Jiujiu was a little relieved. After thanking Han Zhaoyin, she returned to the inn.

It wasn't until the door of the room closed that Bai Jiujiu let out a long sigh of relief. On the way out, she has always been worried, for fear of meeting the mysterious person who attacked her before. In the affairs of this world, Han Zhaoyin can also help himself. But if spiritual power is involved, I'm afraid even Han Zhaoyin can't do anything.

After Xu Huaiqing went down to court, as usual, he was ready to return to the inn to find Bai Jiujiu.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he suddenly heard children singing nursery rhymes. The childlike voice made him stop and listen.

But when Xu Huaiqing heard the content of the nursery rhyme clearly, his face suddenly turned blue. In this nursery rhyme, although no name is named, a discerning person can immediately hear that Bai Jiujiu is described as useless, and even compares her to a broom star, who killed her mother after birth.

For Xu Huaiqing, who knows the truth, this is simply bloody. But in this unfamiliar capital, what other people think is not certain. If this nursery rhyme spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Huaiqing frowned, stopped a few children, and asked in a deep voice, "Who taught you this nursery rhyme?" ”

He knew very well in his heart that it would be absolutely impossible for just a few children to come up with such a targeted nursery rhyme. Someone must have wanted to deal with Bai Jiujiu, so he secretly sent someone to compile Bai Jiujiu into the nursery rhyme and let the children in the capital sing it. In this way, it was enough to make Bai Jiujiu the target of public criticism and be spurned by the people of the entire capital.

"It's taught by other children, and as long as we are willing to sing, they will give each of us five cents." Children are straightforward and fast-talking, and naturally they will not lie.

Xu Huaiqing's face became a little ugly. It is not difficult for these children in the capital to buy, and often a few copper plates can make them their own help. Unlike the low cost, the effect is significant. If he hadn't found out today, it would have been a day before this nursery rhyme spread throughout the capital.

Xu Huaiqing didn't embarrass these children, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with them.

After returning to the inn, Xu Huaiqing was worried that Bai Jiujiu would be affected by this, and when he saw that Bai Jiujiu was no different from usual, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huaiqing still decided to tell Bai Jiujiu about it. By the way, ask her if she has offended anyone recently, otherwise no one should behave like this.

"Jiujiu, have you heard the nursery rhymes sung by the children in the capital?"

Bai Jiujiu shook his head slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Because she was worried about being found by a mysterious person, she would not have taken half a step out of the inn unless she had to, so naturally she had never heard of nursery rhymes.

"Isn't it just a nursery rhyme, what's all the fuss. The words of nursery rhymes are all nonsense, and you don't need to take them to heart. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing smiled bitterly. It seems that Bai Jiujiu doesn't know that he has become the protagonist of the nursery rhyme.

In desperation, Xu Huaiqing had to tell Bai Jiujiu the nursery rhyme completely. After listening, Bai Jiujiu's face also changed.

Bai Jiujiu didn't care much about his reputation. However, if this matter is ignored, she is not the only one who will be affected. Xu Huaiqing, as his husband, will also be criticized by the public.

"Jiujiu, have you offended anyone recently?" Xu Huaiqing frowned slightly, and asked, "It is very likely that this nursery rhyme was deliberately spread by someone, and the purpose was to target you." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Feihuai's figure immediately appeared in Bai Jiujiu's mind. Besides her, Bai Jiujiu couldn't imagine that anyone would hate him so much.

Although Bai Jiujiu knew it, he didn't choose to tell Xu Huaiqing. The Zhao family and the crown prince have a close relationship, and the current Xu Huaiqing is still weak, which is not enough to compete with the prince. If you tell him about this, I'm afraid he will be desperate to settle accounts with the Zhao family.

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Jiujiu shook his head gently, "I don't know who did it, but you don't have to worry, I will deal with this matter, you just focus on the affairs of the court." ”

Although Xu Huaiqing was a little relieved, he could only nod lightly when he heard Bai Jiujiu say this. He was very clear about Bai Jiujiu's abilities, and with her strength, he should be able to come up with a solution.

"Be careful in everything, don't force yourself." Although Xu Huaiqing agreed to leave the matter to Bai Jiujiu to deal with, he still couldn't help but remind, "If you encounter any difficulties that can't be solved, you must tell me in time." ”

Bai Jiujiu chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't force it." ”

After appeasing Xu Huaiqing, Bai Jiujiu decided to go to Han Zhaoyin to discuss countermeasures. Although nursery rhymes have not affected her for the time being, if they continue to be allowed to sing, sooner or later she will become the target of public criticism.

The next day, when Xu Huaiqing went to court, the ministers looked at him a little strangely.

After the discussion, Xu Huaiqing just wanted to leave, but the emperor suddenly stopped him, "Xu Aiqing, you stay for a while, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Xu Huaiqing couldn't help frowning slightly, he had a hunch in his heart that what the emperor said was very likely to be related to nursery rhymes.

When the ministers retreated, the emperor withdrew the eunuch beside him, and then spoke, "Xu Aiqing, I heard recently, it seems that the children in the capital are singing a nursery rhyme, I wonder if Xu Aiqing knows?" ”

Xu Huaiqing bowed his hand respectfully, "Back to the emperor, the minister also heard about it." ”

"Xu Aiqing, although I admire you very much, if you are instructed because of family matters, then I will not be able to get over my face either." After thinking for a moment, the emperor waved his hand, "If Xu Aiqing is interested, I will personally be the matchmaker for you, no matter which girl you like, as long as you like it, just open your mouth." ”

If it were someone else, he might have accepted the emperor's kindness, but Xu Huaiqing never thought of divorce and remarriage, and he was even more indifferent to this.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, but the minister and his wife are very affectionate, and they have no idea of taking concubines. The nursery rhyme sung by the boy was also all false, presumably someone was jealous of Yu Chen, so he deliberately created this nursery rhyme in a vain attempt to damage the relationship between the minister and his wife. ”

"That being the case, I won't say anything more." The emperor nodded slightly, not reluctantly.
