The eighteen civil officials looked like loyal ministers, and when one person came out, they all knelt down. The words seemed to be Xue Rou's demon concubine who was a disaster to the country.

The conscience of heaven and earth, the two of them are commensurate with sisters and brothers.

The little emperor's face turned green, and his hand grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, remembering in his heart that he was an emperor, otherwise he really wanted to sew up the mouths of these nonsense talking kings.

But before he could speak, Zhai Yutang stood up, and he didn't lose in terms of scolding. At that time, he sneered, "Really? My colleagues have calculated Xue Rou's three deadly sins, so can I point out Xue Rou's contribution? ”

"Since Xue Rou came back, the female bandit Yuesheng was beheaded, and even the other bandit dens were also taken away, is this considered her work? The floods in the south inundated villages and fields, and the people were displaced, and Xue Rou gave advice to His Majesty to reduce losses, but did not take credit, is this considered a contribution? Then there is the locust plague, Xue Rou worked hard to develop insect repellent powder, and contributed it to the court and the people free of charge, who dares to come out and say a word? ! ”

"Xue Rou's husband, Yuan Junfeng, is the first general of the imperial court, deterring neighboring countries and making them dare not invade. Xue Rou's master, Leng Tianyi, the elder of the Divine Doctor Clan, has developed countless miraculous medicines, and how much has he contributed to the Tai Hospital?! ”

Zhai Yutang swept over one by one, his eyebrows were cold, "I just want to ask all the colleagues present, did you include these when you counted Xue Rou's affairs?" ”

No one spoke. Finally, in silence, he went down to court.

But there are still people who are angry, "Xue Rou has indeed made a lot of contributions, but it is not the support of her involvement in the government!" ”

"Since ancient times, there have been many meritorious people, and there is no one like her."

Naturally, these gossips did not dare to be brought to the court again, at least the hundred officials could see that the little emperor and Zhai Yutang clearly wanted to protect Xue Rou. But the little emperor was also distressed, so he had to let Xue Rou go home for a while first.

"Sister Xue, the wind outside is really bad. If I keep you in the palace again, I'm afraid they will complain even more, and I will have to wronged you. ”

Xue Rou couldn't beg, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have lived in the palace in the first place, and I should go back." However, I never take the words of those people to heart, if Your Majesty has any questions in the future, you can summon me into the palace at any time, I naturally know everything! ”

The little emperor smiled and nodded, "That's great." ”

Xue Rou and Yuan Jun went out of the palace and returned to the house, and both of them felt much more relaxed. Living in the palace is simply physical work, and you have to face all kinds of gossip eyes, which is uncomfortable.

The two of them went home laughing, even with Leng Tianyi, thinking about going home to have a good meal together. Speaking of which, the family hasn't been together at home for a long time.

Yuan Junfeng said, "Rou'er, you haven't been back for a long time. Let's go down and buy a new batch of food, clothing, and food. ”

Xue Rou naturally agreed, "Okay." Then make Master a new outfit. I saw him grinding at the table all day, and he had a beard in his cuffs. ”

The two of them walked in the market, wanting to buy everything, but they didn't want the rumors in the palace to have spread outside the palace, and on the streets and alleys, from time to time someone was discussing Xue Rou's affairs.

For ordinary people, as long as they can live, they don't care who turns over and becomes the emperor again, they are just worried about the one-third of an acre. After all, it is too difficult to survive in times of war.

But now it's different, neighboring countries are also hostile countries, and the emperor is so young that it's rare to be tired. It was also rumored that the demon girl was involved in politics, so that they regarded this as a conversation in the field.

An old farmer in his 50s, squatting in the field, smoking a dry tobacco in his mouth, smacked his mouth and said, "I heard that there is a demon girl in the palace, and it will confuse the emperor." The emperor is young, and he is fascinated by her, and he listens to her everything. ”

Another old man squatting next to him was full of vicissitudes, "I also heard that there are adults who jointly reported her for interfering in politics." But I don't think the emperor has done anything hurtful, what are those adults afraid of? ”

"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that the emperor is young and afraid of being deceived. Look at your family's four babies, still playing in the field, but they are the emperor. Four babies can be coaxed away with a piece of sugar, what if the emperor is also coaxed away? ”

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng originally followed a peasant woman to her house to buy fresh local chickens and eggs, but they heard such an argument, and they were really helpless.

The man who smoked a dry cigarette poked the person next to him, "Look, Lao Liu, your daughter-in-law is bringing someone home." ”

Lao Liu hurriedly stood up and rubbed his hands, "Two distinguished guests, this is..."

The woman glared at him dissatisfiedly, "The guests have come to buy chickens, so why don't you go and catch them and let them run outside." You have to catch two of them. ”

Lao Liu agreed, and went to catch chickens.

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng glanced at each other, walked to the old farmer's side, and called, "Uncle, what were you talking about here just now?" ”

He raised his eyes and looked at a man and a woman in front of him, all of whom were wearing fine fabrics, and at first glance they were not ordinary people, for fear that the other party would come to find fault, so he hurriedly said, "We didn't say anything, just talk about things in the fields." ”

Xue Rou smiled helplessly, "Uncle, we all heard you say just now, what kind of demon girl is that calamity." ”

The old farmer's face changed, "Yes, I said it, what's the matter?" You also have to report me, everyone said, why can't I? ”

Xue Rou hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. Uncle, I just want to ask, are there a lot of people discussing this matter? What do you guys think? ”

His face softened, "It's not that everyone says it, after all, the farm work in the field is very busy, and I only talk about it when I take a break occasionally." I don't know where it came from, to be honest, what are we doing in this palace. As long as the country is not destroyed, she loves it. ”

This is a very contradictory statement, but it is the sincere words of the common people. No matter how much the palace tosses, it can't be tossed on them. As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, no taxes are raised, and no children of your family come out to bully, the impact on them is indeed not great.

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng went to the market to inquire, and found that there were indeed not many people discussing this matter, but everyone had also heard about it, which was equivalent to basically knowing that there was such a thing, and they were very helpless.

Xue Rou sighed, "I'm afraid that I will avoid suspicion for the time being, and I will no longer be able to contact Your Majesty." Let's work hard and simply to keep out of the door. ”

Yuan Junfeng scratched her nose, "Why is it so hard and simple?" Miss Xue forgot that her job is a doctor. ”

Xue Rou said, "Yes, I can go and open a medical center, it just so happens that the master is also idle, just do something good." ”

She can be alone, but Leng Tianyi is old and in poor health, so she can't have no one around. Xue Rou thought about it, and wanted to find two more people for Leng Tianyi to serve and care for her, but she happened to meet one, and she didn't look very old.

The child sat directly in the market and sold himself, and it turned out that the family was all dead, and the family had no land and relatives, so he simply came to sell himself. Originally, this kind of servant had to go to the government to register, but he probably didn't understand anything, so he sat directly on the ground.

Xue Rou saw that he was young and a little distressed. Besides, if he becomes a servant, his children will also be affected in the future, so he should simply take him home, and he should not be a slave, let Leng Tianyi be a little assistant, and it is good to take medicinal herbs.

The boy happily followed him home, saying that his name was Ah Wu.

Yuan Junfeng noticed that his unusual eyes were a little gray, like a Hu person, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Ah Wu waved his hand casually, "The general asked casually, I'm just a cheap life." When the Hu people were friendly with our country, they also brought a group of dancing girls, but His Majesty did not accept them and dismissed them. When my mother came out, she found someone to marry and gave birth to me. It's just that I died too early, and I'm the only one left, neither yin nor yang. It's precisely because of my eyes that people don't want me. ”

Xue Rou understands it, this Ah Wu has not been treated well because of his background, and he is a Hu Sheng, although his appearance is handsome and abnormal, but it also makes people feel evil, and he is scolded as a fox spirit openly and secretly, and he has always been very sad. He wanted to go to a better home and be protected.

Xue Rou sighed, "Do you know our identity?" ”

Ah Wu blushed and scratched his head, "No one else dares to ask for me, they don't want to see my eyes." ”

Xue Rou said, "Little slippery head." ”

She still sympathized with this child in her heart, so after discussing with Yuan Junfeng, she decided to let him come to the mansion as well, and she could follow Leng Tianyi to do chores. It's not like they can't afford it anyway.

Yuan Junfeng thought more long-term, this kid specially came to them and showed such a pitiful background, which made him have to doubt. Privately, I also went to investigate Ah Wu's life experience, and found that there were indeed no flaws.

found the person known to the Hu woman back then, saying that she eloped with a man and later gave birth to a child, and Ah Wu and her appearance were indeed out of the same mold. Can't be wrong.

Yuan Junfeng was relieved at this time.

Xue Rou lived at home with Leng Tianyi and studied medical books for a while. Although he didn't go out, the reputation of the Leng Tianyi divine doctor is no different from that of the imperial doctors in the palace, and there are indeed people who come here.

On this day, a team of uninvited guests came to Yuan's mansion, and they were blocked at the door by Fang Ji, "Miss Xue! Come out and have a look! ”

It's no wonder that Fang Ji is shouting, ordinary people won't let it in when they see this scene. For no other reason, this turned out to be a group of bearded businessmen, with big beards and thick eyebrows, looking very fierce, but their mouths were gentle and polite.

It turned out that this group of Hu merchants often traveled back and forth between the two countries, reselling all kinds of spices and silks, as well as selling livestock, and they had always done a lot of business, which can be seen from the fact that they could go to the imperial city to do business.

But this time was different, an elderly businessman in the team, who was considered the leader, was actually sick. The smaller ones didn't dare to accept them at all, and the bigger ones were afraid that they would have a bad reputation, and this group of businessmen was very rich, so they didn't look down on ordinary doctors, so they came to the door.
