The Queen's Concubine can't be provoked

Chapter 67
In the early morning, before the sun had risen, there was a thin mist in the woods, and occasionally there were a few chirping insects and birds, which seemed extraordinarily pleasant. Suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats, and a horse was galloping. A man and a woman sat on it.

The woman's face was pale and her lips were purple, while the man frowned tightly, looking at the woman in his arms from time to time.

"Your Majesty, how long will it take to arrive?" Su Qin leaned against Yunlin's arms and spoke in a weak tone. She felt that if she didn't arrive, she might have to drink tea with the King of Hades.

"It's almost here!" In response, Yunlin clamped his legs into the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch neighed, speeding up again.

At the same time, the guards and auspiciousness of Su Xiangfu finally arrived at the place where the accident happened before. On the official road, the carriage and boxes that had been left behind disappeared without a trace, and only a few bodies of the guards remained on the ground. , because of the summer, the corpse has begun to rot, emitting bursts of stench.

"Bury them on the spot." The leading guard said, got off his horse and walked into the woods first, and began to dig a hole with the weapons on his body. Seeing him like this, everyone followed suit, and finally buried all the dead guards together.

"Miss and Miss Wei ran from this direction." After finishing everything and leaving a mark, Jixiang pointed out the route, and then followed the crowd to mount their horses, and searched for Suqin and Wei Jiao along the path.

In the imperial capital, in the prime minister's mansion, Su Yunhai sat in the main hall with a face full of anger, and at his lower head, the butler stood there frowning.

"Didn't I order the news to be blocked? Why did the rumors spread in the imperial capital in just over a day?" At this moment, Su Yunhai only felt that he was extremely angry. When he went to court today, some officials whispered behind his back, Looking at him was also full of sympathy.

Seeing them like this, Su Yunhai originally wanted to ask, but he still had to go to the court, so he suppressed his confusion in his heart. It was not until after the court that he learned the truth about the ministers from Shen Junlan's elder brother, Shen Shilang .

It turned out that on the day Ji Xiang came back, rumors suddenly appeared in the imperial capital, saying that Su Qin, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, was robbed by robbers when she went out.

Everyone knew what would happen to a weak woman who was robbed by robbers, so people speculated that even if the concubine of Xiangfu had not been killed, her innocence would have been ruined by the robbers.

Since ancient times, people's ability to gossip has been extremely high, so in just one day, many people in the imperial capital knew about this matter, and even the rumors became more and more serious. It was known by the maids and wives in various prefectures, and it was passed on to the ears of the masters, and finally it was learned by those officials.

Among the officials in the imperial capital, which family does not have a daughter, so when such a thing was reported in the Prime Minister's mansion, all the officials felt that they should sympathize with Prime Minister Su, but no one checked the authenticity of the matter. How could this be Don't make Su Yunhai angry!

You know, a woman's reputation is the most important thing. Although his daughter encountered a robber, she ran away. Before it was confirmed that her daughter was indeed caught by the robber, such things spread. If he came back clean and innocent, how could he bear such rumors?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Su Yunhai became in his heart. He looked at the butler, and shouted angrily, "Check it out for me, and find out who spread the rumors, and I will definitely not let you down!"

The steward quickly took orders, and then retreated. He did not expect such a thing to happen. At that time, there were only a few people who knew that Ji Xiang had returned, and he beat them all. Who would spread such news?
Could it be the gatekeeper who sent Jixiang back?

Thinking about it this way, the housekeeper decided that it was necessary to investigate. If it was directly spread by an outsider, it would be really difficult to handle this matter.

"Hahaha! Now even if that little hoof comes back, it will be ruined in the future." Inside the Tingyu Pavilion, Shen smiled joyfully. Beside her, Su Rou and Su Yue also had complacent faces. .

"Mother is such a good plan. She directly spread the news and ruined that bitch's reputation. Now, no matter whether that bitch is alive or dead, I'm afraid that after knowing this matter, life would be worse than death!" Thinking that Su Qin would be in great pain at that time, Su Yue felt very happy.

"Mother, my daughter thinks that only one person should know about this matter." After hearing Su Yue's words, Su Rou's eyes flashed calculations, and she said to Shen with a smile.

"Oh? Who is it?" Raising her eyebrows, Chen looked at Su Rou. She always regarded her eldest daughter as her brain truster. Now that she opened her mouth, she naturally wanted to listen.

"Naturally, it's grandma. Her most important thing is her reputation. If she finds out that Suqin was taken away by robbers, and such rumors spread, she might order to send her directly to Zhuangzi after Suqin is found. Go, don't go back to Xiangfu." As soon as Su Rou's words fell, Su Yue immediately clapped her hands and applauded, even Shen Shi couldn't stop nodding, thinking that the eldest daughter's method was really good.

"If that's the case, mother, I'll go find your grandmother now." Estimating the time, Mrs. Chen stood up, and led Nanny Li towards Mrs. Su's yard.

At this time, Mrs. Su was leaning on the soft couch, letting her servant girl beat her legs. When she heard the servant report that Mrs. Shen had arrived, Mrs. Su frowned slightly, and then she returned to normal.

"Greetings to the old lady." Entering the room, Shen shi saluted politely, and the old lady Su, who was leaning on the soft couch, closed her eyes and snorted lightly.

"The concubine shouldn't have disturbed the old lady, but it has something to do with the face of our Xiangfu. The concubine..." After speaking halfway, Shen observed the expression of Mrs. Su, and sure enough, she heard the face of the Xiangfu. Words, Mrs. Su opened her eyes and looked towards Mrs. Shen.

"Does the old lady know that there are rumors about Qin'er being taken away by robbers in the imperial capital? What kind of people are these robbers? I must have heard about Qin'er's innocence..." Once again Hesitating to speak, Shen took out the veil and wiped her eyes lightly, as if very sad. "Qin'er was raised by my concubine. Now that something like this happened, how can I explain to my dead wife?"

After listening to Shen's words, Mrs. Su sat up from the soft couch, frowned and looked at Shen, "Qin'er was taken away by robbers? How could I not know about this?"

"I just found out about my identity just now, and there is a lot of commotion outside, so I dare not hide it, so I hurriedly reported it to the old lady, and asked the old lady to make up her mind!" When she said this, Shen's A light flashed in her eyes. Looking at the old lady's performance, she knew how much she cared about the reputation of the prime minister's mansion. I'm afraid Suqin will never be able to stand up again this time!
