Chapter 180 Rumors
"Is this easy?"

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were a little complicated, and he held the tea cup in his hand, but he didn't move it for a long time.

"What's so easy?" Yunyao was surprised. After waiting for a while and seeing that Xie Zhaozhao didn't answer, she added, "Someone from my courtyard went out to buy, and happened to meet someone from the Chu family who was doing some errands."

"I only found out after asking about it. I think someone will announce the funeral soon."

Seeing something wrong with Xie Zhaozhao's expression, Yun Yao immediately fell silent, secretly regretting that she had talked too much.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said calmly: "No one is immune to birth, old age, illness and death."

Next, she did not mention anything about the Chu family and chatted with Yunyao for a few words.

……

In the East Palace Library, Yun Qi stood at the window, listening to the news reported by Lin Ye, and smiled coldly.

"You are really vicious. Even if you die, you will drag others into the water with you."

The Chu family had just hung up the white cloth, and now it was spreading everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Chu Nanxuan died of his injuries.

The injury was caused by Xie Zhaozhao without explanation.

The reason why the injury fester was that someone had tampered with the medicine, and the person who tampered with it was Yun Qi.

People are often forgetful and can only see the excitement in front of them, but they cannot recall the original causes.

This rumor immediately overshadowed Chu Nanxuan and Xie Xingchen's matters.

Some people have made up stories about what kind of poisonous woman Xie Zhaozhao is, how ruthless, fond of the new and disgusted with the old. She killed her ex-fiancé and seriously injured her when she fell in love with Yun Qi.

Yun Qi used such vicious means to kill his love rival.

Mrs. Chu Yang had no way to complain, so she was so angry that she set herself on fire.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment and said: "The common people are scolding Your Highness and Miss Seven, saying that you two are like a snake and a rat... a dog and a woman."

"Is it."

Yun Qi smiled very coldly.

Lin Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It's obvious that they themselves have done all the dirty work, yet they casually poured sewage on His Highness and Miss Seventh. It's simply shameless."

"Okay." Yun Qi ordered: "It's just a small matter. They are not the only ones who spread rumors. You go ahead."

Lin Ye quickly approached Yun Qi, and after listening to Yun Qi's instructions, he immediately bowed and retreated.

……

Teahouses and restaurants are a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it is also a gathering place for news from various avenues and gossips in Beijing.

On several tables, people were drinking tea and whispering. From time to time, "The Emperor's Grandson" and "King of Dingxi" were heard, and from time to time, two "Xie Qi" were heard.

If you are a martial arts practitioner with keen ears, you will know the words are not good as soon as you hear them.

Two officers with knives entered the wine shop, and everyone else suddenly laughed and laughed. They stopped talking about the previous topic and instead talked about the boss Wang Mazi and the Xijia Xiaolizi.

The official ordered wine and food, and chatted while eating.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them spoke louder, and the content contained some official secrets.

This made everyone else buckle their ears at the same time.

"Chu Nanxuan, this thief, actually plotted to assassinate the prince, and when he was caught, he just pretended to say he was going to save him!"

"Guanmei Mountain is several miles away from the capital. Even the Imperial Guards guarding the city didn't arrive, but he ran faster than the Imperial Guards! How is that possible?"

"And he also killed all the assassins captured by Miss Xie Qi!"

"If it weren't for Miss Xie Qi, something would happen to the prince. If the prince is such a good person, and if he is assassinated, wouldn't the court, the capital, and the world be in chaos?"

"That's right, the people of the Chu family are really sinister. They used to hang Miss Xie Qi and secretly hooked up with other women, which caused a stir in the whole city and everyone knew about it."

"Now that they are rebellious and assassinate the prince, the emperor still remembers the kindness of General Chu for saving his life and is so tolerant to them, turning a blind eye and not asking for guilt."

"What happened? They actually had the nerve to throw dirty water on His Highness King Dingxi and Miss Xie Qi." "It's simply disgusting."

"Hush -" an official patted the shoulder of the official who was obviously too drunk and was talking nonsense, "Stop shouting, Your Majesty is benevolent, and you want to give Chu Nanxuan a grand burial. Let's just talk about these things, don't make any noise. It’s everywhere.”

However, everyone in the wine shop listened to their words.

In a day or two, it was spread from ear to ear, overshadowing the previous dirty rumors.

Xie Zhaozhao became a great hero in rescuing the prince.

Emperor Xuanwu repaid evil with kindness, which is indeed a model of benevolence.

But Chu Nanxuan stinks.

In particular, after the Chu family set up a mourning hall, not many people came to express their condolences, which made the people even more convinced.

……

Xie Zhaozhao listened to Hong Xiu report this matter in the Ruyi Pavilion, his expression was calm and his eyelids did not even move.

Ever since Yunyao told the story about the Chu family, Xie Zhaozhao sent Hong Xiu out to inquire about it.

Now he just said lightly: "There are not many people paying condolences, they are just worried about the superiors."

In the case of Chu Nanxuan, any smart person in the court could see that it was just the Holy Heart.

Officials in the court, big and small, would naturally watch the wind and move, and there would be no ignorant people who would rush to support the Chu family and arouse Emperor Xuanwu's suspicion.

However, the Chu family has to spread such rumors to disgust people. It really makes people hate it.

These people are really good at confusing things and calling black things into white things.

Hongxia couldn't think too deeply about it. After hearing Xie Zhaozhao talk about the above, she nodded in confusion, "By the way, miss, everything is almost collected."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Then we will go back later."

She has been recovering from her injuries in the East Palace Ruyi Pavilion for many days. Now that her injuries are mostly healed, there is no reason to continue to stay here.

So yesterday, I ordered Hongxiu and the others to pack their things and go back to Duke Liang's mansion.

"Aren't you going to wait for Your Highness?" Xiang Gui walked out of the house and asked, "Your Highness only comes to visit the young lady every afternoon in the afternoon."

"No more waiting."

Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "I already told you last night, and he has official business today and won't be able to finish it until the evening."

Hongxiu and Xianggui had no choice but to retreat.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liangdi brought Yunyao to see Xie Zhaozhao leave the East Palace.

Zhang Liangdi said softly: "The injury is not completely healed yet. You must keep a close eye on it after you go back. You will take medicine carefully to recover. Don't take it seriously."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao saluted Zhang Liangdi: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Don't-" Zhang Liangdi quickly helped Xie Zhaozhao steady, "If it weren't for Miss Xie Qi, something would have happened to His Highness the Crown Prince. You are the benefactor of the East Palace."

Xie Zhaozhao hurriedly said he didn't dare.

After saying goodbye for a while, Yunyao whispered: "Thank you, sister, I will visit you another day."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded in agreement and was about to step down the steps when the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Yun Qi who was riding horses with Lin Ye and Lin Zhen.

When the horse arrived at the corner gate, Yun Qi turned over with vigorous and neat movements, and his jade-white brocade clothes raised a chic arc.

After he asked Xie Zhaozhao about the color of his clothes that day, he wore black for several days in a row, and then wore light colors for several days in a row.
