After some fighting, the group of women finally left the palace in disgrace.
Qin Miaomiao leaned back on the couch to rest a little tiredly, she could be regarded as having escaped a round today, but it was difficult to guarantee that they would come up with other ways tomorrow.
Qin Miaomiao's side is easy to deal with, and Su Mu's side is also difficult to deal with, and the group of ministers are chasing after them, anyway, they have already made Su Mu unhappy, they have the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it, and they want to force Su Mu to draft the concubine.
From morning to noon, they all talked bitterly, and told Su Mu all the things about the draft of concubines by the monarchs of all dynasties from beginning to end, and finally almost forced Su Mu to tell the truth.
In desperation, Su Mu had no choice but to be furious, and rejected them with an arrogant and resolute attitude: "The matter of the draft, there is no need to mention it again, I have already made a decision, if anyone dares to mention this matter again in the future, I will resign and return to my hometown!"
Because of the queen's refusal to fill the harem, Su Mu soon fermented various versions among the people.
Some say that Qin Miao Miao is confused by the demon queen, and some say that Su Mu is actually a broken sleeve, no matter which version? It's all terrible.
Although Qin Miaomiao was in the deep palace, these gossips flew into her ears as if they had grown wings.
It seems that this matter is not only related to the two of them, but also to the court of the entire building, and this matter is also full of turmoil in the city, I am afraid that I can't hide it, and I have to make a decision, otherwise it will inevitably lead to other chaos.
Qin Miaomiao thought about it left and right, and decided to go to Su Mu.
Su Mu has also been busy with this matter in the past few days, and he has been persuading him to make a decision as soon as possible, as if there is no other political matter in Daxia for a while.
Looking at the twists and turns in front of him, Su Mu's face deepened and sank, and he faintly felt that someone was deliberately provoking this matter, otherwise these courtiers would not attack him together for no reason.
When Qin Miaomiao arrived, Su Mu was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, and his sudden visit made Su Mu seem a little surprised.
He didn't mention what happened to Qin Miaomiao recently, he was afraid that Qin Miaomiao would be sad and embarrassed, and he wanted to tell her a thing or two after the matter was dealt with.
When Qin Miaomiao entered the door, he had not had time to put away the folds on his desk, and looking at Su Mu's somewhat confused appearance, Qin Miaomiao didn't plan to hide it from him anymore: "Xianggong, I know everything that happened recently......"
Seeing Qin Miaomiao like this, Su Mu inevitably blamed himself in his heart, put away his gloomy and violent expression, and said softly: "Miao Miao, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, I have my own way to solve it."
Su Mu has always been like this, he always feels ashamed of Qin Miaomiao, he has always reported good news to her, and all the tricky and troublesome things are carried down by himself, and he plans to do the same.
"Xianggong, you don't have to be like this, you and I are already husband and wife, and we should discuss and solve things together, instead of you carrying it alone, so I can't bear it in my heart." Qin Miaomiao naturally couldn't watch Su Mu be depressed alone, at this time, they should come up with a foolproof plan as soon as possible.
"Miao Miao, don't take those rumors to heart, I will solve this matter as soon as possible." Although this matter made Su Mu quite embarrassed, he would definitely fulfill the promise he had made to Qin Miaomiao, and he would only marry her alone in this life, and there would only be one woman.
"Xianggong, some things can not be solved by evasion, what we have to do now is to face it and solve it, instead of blindly suppressing and evading, even if it is suppressed this time, it will not be long before those ministers will propose again, and it will only be stronger and stronger each time, what should we do at that time?" Qin Miaomiao had already roughly guessed Su Mu's thoughts, and the most effective way at this time was to forcibly suppress it, if the minister proposed it, he would resign and return to his hometown, and some of the people would be imprisoned if they were spreading rumors.
Although this method seems to be effective on the surface, after all, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and the more this is the case, the deeper the resentment will accumulate in the hearts of the people and ministers, which will inevitably lead to other disasters.
With a long sigh, Su Mu walked slowly to Qin Miaomiao's side, slowly raised his hand, and took her into his arms, with a little loneliness and self-blame in his tone: "Miao Miao, it's all my fault, I even have such a difficult time to fulfill a promise to you, it's because I have ignored your affection for me for so many years."
Qin Miaomiao raised her hand to hug Su Mu back, and put her side face on his chest, and Su Mu's powerful heartbeat could be clearly heard: "Xianggong, are you tired?"
Tired? Su Mu naturally felt tired, although he was now under one person, above ten thousand, no one dared to despise and ridicule him, and no one dared to hurt him easily, but he felt exhausted, and the current situation was not what he wanted.
He sat on the throne and saved all his face, and all the people who had hurt him were punished, but he did not feel at ease, on the contrary, he missed the first days in Hexi Village.
It's just that at that time, his heart was full of hatred and unwillingness, always thinking that one day he could regain everything he had lost.
But now he has done it, his father who framed him several times is no longer alive, and Ning Guohou, who calculated and used him, was also beheaded by him, but what did he get?
Day after day, he deals with heavy and trivial state affairs, and everywhere guards against the ministers' deceit and self-scramble for power, and now he can't even make decisions about his own private affairs.
Maybe it's time to let go, he's not cowardly and incompetent, he just feels that it's pointless to work so hard, it's not the life he wants.
"Miao Miao, I understand what you mean, just give me some time, I will take care of everything here, and then we will leave here, for the rest of our lives, a couple, this is what I once promised you, I will definitely achieve it!"
In fact, leaving is inevitable, but the current situation has accelerated the pace of his decision.
Qin Miaomiao knew that she had the same tacit understanding with Su Mu, she just asked, and Su Mu already understood everything she was thinking.
Since coming to this world, Qin Miaomiao feels that she has always passively accepted the arrangement of fate, and she has never taken the initiative to make any decisions.
She felt that life should not be like this, now is a good opportunity, the situation in Great Xia has been stabilized, his rebellion has been almost forgotten by the people, if a suitable person is selected to take over the throne at this time, the two of them, living incognito, will not have the initial threat.
It's just that Qin Miaomiao has one more thing in her heart that makes her feel at ease, that is the An family, maybe the people will no longer mention Su Mu's rebellion, and the fourth and fifth princes will no longer regard Su Mu as a threat, but An Xian will definitely not let Su Mu and himself go easily.
People don't kill for themselves, Qin Miaomiao can't let such a big threat be put in front of him: "It's just that we are leaving, don't disclose it for the time being, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, especially the brothers and sisters of the An family, we should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that they will always pester us and never die."
When it came to the An family brothers and sisters, Su Mu's brows were also furrowed, this was also a headache for him, and other things might be easy to do, but on the side of the An family brothers and sisters, taking advantage of the fact that they were in power at this time, it was easy to execute their brothers and sisters.
But Su Mu couldn't make such a decision anyway, but the person with hatred was the most terrible and difficult, and he needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Miao Miao, I will solve this matter as soon as possible, I don't have to worry about it for me day and night, I have a matter to you to deal with now, this month 28 is the day of the temple fair, I want you to take the opportunity to go out of the palace, and settle your father-in-law and mother-in-law properly, so that when we leave, it will save unnecessary trouble." Su Mu not only has to take care of Qin Miaomiao, her parents are naturally the top priority, he has no relatives in this world, so Qin Miaomiao's parents are also his parents.
In addition to them settling down, the most important thing is to send Qin Wenliang and his wife out of Chang'an smoothly.
After the two of them talked about it, Qin Miaomiao's heart naturally felt a little more relaxed.
She thought that Su Mu would not easily agree to herself, because Su Mu had sacrificed too much to get to this point, even if he rejected him today, Qin Miaomiao would not be half unhappy in her heart, although the two of them have been together for several years, it is not an exaggeration to say that you and I are indistinguishable. But she still needs to take into account Su Mu's feelings and give the closest people the least respect and understanding.
But fortunately, Su Mu is still the same him, although he has changed a lot in the past few years, but in Qin Miaomiao's heart, he is still the person he identifies for the rest of his life, and he is glad that he and his own concepts are the same as those between the trade-offs.
Great Xia also has very strict rules on the daily relationship of the emperor and queen, and it is inconvenient for Qin Miaomiao to stay in the imperial study for a long time.
Surrounded by a group of palace people and maidservants, Qin Miaomiao didn't say anything all the way, she was thinking about how to take every step in the future.
Therefore, she did not notice the strange color of a maid goddess behind her, and the maidservant girl was usually not noticeable in her palace, so she was not noticed when she quietly left.
When approaching the gate of the palace, the maid goddess was in a hurry, hid in the rockery on the side, waited for the others to walk by, and ran all the way to the north gate.
Surprisingly, this maid actually had a waist card to enter and exit the palace gate at will, so the guards guarding the door did not stop it. Let her leave the palace smoothly.
It's just that looking at her familiar appearance, sneaking out of the palace should be a lot of work.
All the way through the streets and alleys, I soon came to the door of a mansion, and the plaque at the door was written with three big characters of the Prince's Mansion.
The little guy at the door was very familiar with her, and when he saw her coming from afar, he greeted her with a smile: "Miss Ying, I have free time again today."
Ziying's footsteps didn't stop, she just smiled at him and hurried into the Junhou Mansion.
