After another day of rest, Su Man was relieved, and the remarks about the people in the city were somewhat the same as what Xianglan said.

Lu Li heard some rumors in his office that day, and a minister came to speak on this day.

Above the entire court, there was silence, and everyone knew about Su Man, so they all remained silent by default.

However, matters related to the prestige of the royal family are still very important to a royal family, so the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the plunge and stepped forward to say.

"Your Majesty, there have been some remarks about the queen mother that I dare not say recently, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Lu Li frowned, he knew what was going on, but he didn't know how to solve it yet, so he said calmly.

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say. What do I want to hear? ”

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't dare to continue, for fear that the emperor's anger would come to him.

But under the supervision of the ministers, he had to speak, and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, now in the capital, the city is full of wind and rain, and the people say that the queen is a demon girl, she has manipulated the emperor, and she still wants to ascend the throne."

When Lu Li heard it at the time, he just heard that it was full of demon girls, how could he not have heard of this ascension to the throne.

Thinking that they were a little excessive, Lu Li looked disgusted, and then spoke.

"Why don't you really know that you are controlled, I am in love with the queen, when did the gap arise?"

The ministers didn't dare to speak, but when they heard Lu Li's tone, they all bowed their heads silently, leaving only a Ministry of Rites Shangshu to reply in front.

The Ministry of Rites is now difficult to ride a tiger, and it is not necessary to continue to say, and it is not to say that it is not, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others all know that you and the queen are very affectionate, but I don't know where the news came from."

The Ministry of Rites quietly looked at his colleagues around him, who were all silently dodging, and then continued.

"The minister thinks that this kind of public opinion may have a bad image for the queen, and I don't know that the emperor has no way to control the direction of public opinion."

After the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, the other ministers admired him very much, and they didn't expect him to be so smart and appease the angry emperor.

After hearing this, Lu Li knew that he didn't mean to target Su Man, so he didn't embarrass him, eased his emotions and then said.

"This matter is indeed a little unfavorable to the queen, but the mouth grows on someone else's body, is there any good way for Zhong Aiqing to solve it?"

After hearing this, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu did not do this kind of work of giving advice, so he quieted down, and at this time, Shi Ji really stood up, and then said.

"Your Majesty, since this word has spread, there must be a source, and the minister thinks that it is better to find the source first."

Lu Li's Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at Shi Jizhen with emotion, but he didn't expect him to stand up and untie his scarf for him at this time, and he was so excited that he was about to cry.

Lu Li also shifted his attention at this time, no longer staring at the Ministry of Rites, but looking at Shi Ji Zhen, and then said.

"In that case, then this matter will be handed over to the prime minister to deal with, and I hope you can find out where it came from."

Shi Ji really listened, a little tired, I knew that he wouldn't go up to answer, but since it was a full thing, presumably Man must know something, so he had already decided to go and see Man for a while.

Lu Li arranged everything, asked people to investigate, and then let people spread some public opinion, saying that he and the queen were very affectionate, and they were almost tired of being together every day.

Su Man arrived at the upper study early today, and Lu Li, who was waiting left and right, did not come back, but he was a little worried about whether there was something wrong with the court.

Su Man got up and was about to go to Lu Li to see if he had come back, when Lu Li came in with his personal eunuch from the door of the upper study.

The two bumped into each other, Lu Li's hard chest caught Su Man off guard, and the father-in-law behind him was very decent, and when he saw this, he walked out and closed the door by the way.

After parting, Su Man raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and then said.

"Lu Li, why did you come back, is there something delayed in the court?"

Lu Li looked at Su Man, who was still rubbing his head, smiled dotingly, didn't say anything else, but joked.

"You said that you are such a big person, and you are still so uncarious."

Saying that, Lu Li also stretched out his hand, gently put it on Man's head, and rubbed it seriously in one direction.

Su Man was a little angry when he saw him like this, and Lu Li didn't answer her question.

Su Man, who was slightly angry, took a step back, then looked at Lu Li with straight eyes, and said word by word.

"I'm not distracted, I'm just worried about you, tell me what happened in the DPRK today."

Under Su Man's gaze, Lu Li walked to the table where he usually reviewed the folds, waiting for Man's review.

Su Man's gaze followed Lu Li, followed him to the position, and then continued to ask tentatively.

"Did the ministers say something about me?"

Lu Li heard Su Man's guess, and raised his head instantly, he didn't expect Man to be so smart, but the stiffness was only for a while, and then it disappeared, and he said with a smiling face.

"It's not something important, you don't have to take it personally."

Seeing this, Su Man knew that her guess must be right, so he sat in his place and wanted to talk to Lu Li about it.

Before Su Man could speak, the voice of the announcement came from the door.

"The teacher asks to see him."

Lu Li was a little puzzled when he heard it, he didn't know what some Shi Ji Zhen was really going to do, he obviously gave him the task, why did he come to see him again at this time.

When Su Man heard that Shi Ji was really coming, he stopped talking, and listened to Lu Li announce him in.

After Shi Jizhen came in, he found that Su Man was there, and he was secretly happy in his heart, saving him from going to the harem to find someone in trouble.

Shi Ji really saluted respectfully, and Lu Li said that there is no need to be too restrained if there are no outsiders.

Shi Ji really listened,

He relaxed, but he didn't relax too much, sat down solemnly and asked for instructions to Lu Li.

"Your Majesty, it just so happens that I want to ask the queen mother about something, and it is a coincidence at this time."

Lu Li looked at the two of them, nodded and agreed with his thoughts, and asked him to ask,

Su Man thought that Shi Ji Zhenshi had come to find Lu Li, but he didn't expect to ask him something, so he waited for him to speak, and looked at him with puzzled eyes by the way,

Shi Ji really got the consent, so she was naturally unceremonious, and directly told about Su Man.

"Man, do you know about the public opinion of the people in Shangjing City about you?"

Su Man didn't expect him to ask about this, so he nodded, indicating that he knew.

Lu Li didn't want Man to know, but he didn't expect her to know, so he stopped stopping and pretended to look down at the fold in his hand.

Shi Ji was really unceremonious, and asked directly.

"Do you know where the rumors came from?"

Su Man frowned, not knowing why Shi Ji really asked this.

Shi Ji Zhen saw that Su Man's face was full of doubts, and knew that she didn't understand why she asked, so she began to explain.

"The emperor wants to check the source, I think you must know something, that's why you came to ask."

After hearing this, Su Man completely understood why, so he no longer shirked, glanced at Lu Li, and said tentatively.

"I think it may be because of the soldiers who pressed people during the interrogation that day."

Shi Ji was a little surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect it to be a soldier, but he was a little puzzled when he heard Su Man's tone, so he asked.

"Is there any reason for that?"

Lu Li listened to it clearly, when he heard that it was a soldier, that day he heard someone say that Man was going to give him a Gu, it must really be them, it seems that these soldiers have to be strictly disciplined.

Su Man didn't pay attention to Lu Li's situation, and said with a tone of possibility.

"Pick me up and interrogate the palace maid in the palace, the palace maid is crazy, she always says that I gave Lu Li a Gu, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and now I think about it, the expressions of those soldiers are quite shocked, maybe they believe it and don't want to spread it."

Shi Jizhen listened to Su Man's analysis, nodded, and then asked Lu Li for instructions, saying that he was going to check the soldiers on duty at that time.

Lu Li was also approved, without too much prevarication, before he left, Lu Li stopped him, and then explained.

"If they really did it, then tell me about my assassination, and say that everything was said by the thief."

Shi Ji really understood that Lu Li wanted to clear his name, so he answered yes.

When Lu Li saw him like this, he thought that it was good for Man, so he gave another order, and Su Man was shocked at that time.

"Also, let those storytellers tell more about the love story between me and Man, so that the people know that we are happy with each other, and the queen is also justified."

What Lu Li said was quite brazen, Shi Ji Zhen couldn't bear to look at it directly after hearing it, but because he was the emperor, he couldn't bear to fight

Interesting.

Then Lu Li didn't tell anything, and Shi Ji Zhen hurriedly retreated, away from this place of right and wrong.

In the end, after Shi Jizhen investigated for a long time, he learned at noon that it was really from the mouths of those two soldiers.

On that day, they got off their posts, and the two of them went to a restaurant in Beijing to drink, and some of them drank too much, and some of them may have been unabashed, and finally the things they discussed may have been listened to by others, so they will make the city full of storms.

Lu Li got the news and ordered the two soldiers to be punished for half a year, and they lined up for many hours.

After Shi Ji Zhen got the accurate information, he immediately ordered someone to do what Lu Li ordered.

The love story of Lu Li and Su Man spread throughout Shangjing under the spread of those storytellers in Shangjing.

However, in the past few days, there has been no more talk in Shangjing City about the current queen who has given the emperor a trick, and what has been said is to talk about their singing and crying love story.

Lu Li sat in the upper study, listening to what he asked to report to him, whether the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight smile, this was the effect he wanted.
