In the twelfth lunar month, the capital city can always be seen covered in silver.

Zhong Ning went to the palace every day during these days. After taking stock of the palace's business, carriages transported all the utensils used in the workshops here out of the capital, along with those who worked in the workshops. They were unwilling to

Those who left the capital had no choice but to go home.

Because most of the people employed in the palace's workshops were ordinary people in the imperial city, this matter quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys in the capital. Many people would never forget a person's shortcomings. In the eyes of these people, Su Yun, as the queen,

Warmth is good in everything, but it offends women's biggest taboo, which is jealousy.

The emperor is in his youth, and his fertility is thin. The empress should have opened up the harem, let the concubines return to their respective places, and spread the branches and leaves of the heavenly family.

Although it is now possible to accept concubines for the emperor, it is too few to accept only one daughter from the Cui family.

Some people are even talking about the concubine of the Cui family who entered the palace, which proves that the empress is jealous and cannot even tolerate the serious eldest daughter. If she enters the palace as a concubine, no matter how high the position is, isn't it just for show?

Even if there is only one person, the queen cannot bear it, otherwise why would she shut down all the workshops in the palace?

As word spread, the situation changed, and many people speculated that the emperor and empress were at odds.

At this time, someone mentioned Pan Yulong, and many people in Yugu Village were shocked. No one thought that the queen was actually a child bride, and was despised by Pan Yulong and dismissed from the palace.

The fact that the Pan family brothers and sisters were reused is proof. The relationship between Su Yunnuan and the Pan family was rumored to be more and more fierce. When all kinds of rumors were rampant, Mrs. Zhong couldn't stop her. She was so angry that Mrs. Zhong released her manpower.

We need to thoroughly investigate who is behind the spread of the news.

After searching and searching, some people actually said that it was a young man wearing a mask. No one recognized him and no one knew his name. Some even speculated that it was Pan Yulong, the man who survived the catastrophe and came back to seek revenge.

"That's nonsense!" When Mrs. Zhong got the news, she was so angry that she threw the tea cup and shouted: "Catch this person! I want to see who is causing the evil!"

Pan Yuhu was also checking, but this person seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear, making it impossible to find out.

Not Pan Yulong, Pan Yuhu knew very well that when Yubao returned, he said it himself, and it was a setback for Yubao that he did not dare to collect the body.

But those rumors were so true that even Pan Yuhu couldn't refute them. After all, they were all real things that happened. It had only been five years, and there were too many people in Beijing who knew about those things.

Some people even started to attack Su Yunnuan. She was jealous and she was a concubine. How could she be worthy of being the queen?

Of course, Su Yunnuan knew that there was such a fuss, but she was very calm. If it was said that someone deliberately stirred up trouble, it had to do with the Cui family, and the purpose was probably to push Cui Jingshu to the back position.

This is simply a joke, people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants.

At the same time, because of these rumors, the whole Cui family was in turmoil.

The Cui family was also investigating, but the result was the same. The man disappeared without a trace. He didn't know where he came from or where he went.

Cui Jingshu, who lives in seclusion in the house, can't see any clues even if she keeps watching. This gives Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui a headache. If it weren't for someone from the Cui family who was behind the fire, and the finger was pointed at the Cui family in the end, wouldn't this be possible?

Isn’t God going to destroy the Cui family?

When this kind of public sentiment is boiling, at the end of the new year, after the imperial court seals it, everything in the capital begins to have a New Year flavor.

Su Yunnuan has been very busy recently, busy preparing for the palace banquet.

It is customary to entertain all civil and military officials and their families during the Chinese New Year.

Qi Xuan didn't rest. He left the capital that night and went straight to Pearl City. He was thinking about his son very much. Even if he couldn't bring his son back to celebrate the New Year, he still wanted to see with his own eyes if it was okay there.

I originally thought that the rumors would die down after a while, but the rumors about Su Yunnuan and the Pan family are like a tide, one wave after another with no intention of stopping. Some people have begun to talk vividly about what Pan Yuhu and the Empress have to say.

thing.

Then it was revealed that Qi Yuyao sent Su Yunnuan to the Hongyue Tower in order to vent his anger, which alarmed the Zhong family and Qi Xuan who was still the regent at the time. Why didn't he say anything in the end? If he didn't say anything, there would be countless consequences.

As a result, this increasingly sinister thing became the most talked about thing among people in the capital behind their backs.

The Tian family did not take any action. At this time, the emperor did not immediately stand up to protect the queen's face. Many courtiers began to want to impeach the queen's virtues by submitting memorials. However, the court sealed the seal and did not deal with government affairs. None of the ministers asked to see the emperor.

success.

Shifu.

In the desolate and bleak house, the old slaves were cleaning the fallen snow in the courtyard. In the cold study, Shi Lingjun was busy writing. Since his wife and daughter passed away, he was busy in the study besides going to the Yamen.

No one bothers.

When Pan Yuhu opened the door and walked in, he couldn't help but frown. It was too cold in this room. Shi Lingjun, who was busy writing at his desk, had his hand holding the pen turned red from the cold. There was not even a brazier.

"Get out." Shi Lingjun didn't even raise his head.

Pan Yuhu closed the door, walked in and sat on a chair. He looked up at Shi Lingjun. He was in his early thirties and his hair was already gray. It seemed that the death of his wife and daughter was a big blow to him.

"Let go..." Shi Lingjun looked up and found that the person sitting opposite was Pan Yuhu. He suppressed what he said later and slowly packed up his desk. He came over and clasped his fists and bowed: "Master Pan\/Your Majesty is here. I'm sorry for the disrespect."

Already."

Pan Yuhu waved his hand: "I caught a few of them, do you want to meet them?"

Shi Lingjun suddenly raised his head and looked at Pan Yuhu, his whole body seemed to be frozen due to shock, his eyes slowly turned red, he lowered his head and knelt down with a plop: "The emperor's grace is so great!"

Pan Yuhu stretched out his hand to help Shi Lingjun stand up: "Get up, the emperor wants you to follow the investigation. Of course, you must take revenge yourself."

Shi Lingjun couldn't stop crying. He had been watching with cold eyes. When he saw the empress accepting the daughter of the Cui family as his concubine, he knew that the empress was investigating. As a scholar and a lowly official, he knew that the empress was investigating.

, what can be done?

He is doing his best to serve the emperor and the empress, and he is also investigating the case based on the few words left by his daughter.

However, there is nowhere to start.

Seeing Pan Yuhu was like seeing a bright light in the dark night. He asked the cook at home to prepare wine and food, and the two of them drank together.

"Vegetarian wine and vegetarian food, don't dislike it, Mr. Pan." Shi Lingjun said apologetically.

Pan Yuhu patted Shi Lingjun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, everything will come to light."

After three rounds of drinking, Shi Lingjun was already drunk. He held the wine glass and said, "There are many blind people in the world who are blind and blind. I don't believe that all the people are ungrateful, so I wrote a biography for the Queen."

"I'm interested." Pan Yuhu drank it all in one gulp: "However, the Queen doesn't care about fame, she just wants to do more for the people."

"Now that the matter is over, I will resign and go back. I will visit every place in Daqian where the Queen and the Empress have been. I will let the world know that Daqian is lucky and blessed by God to have such a wonderful woman."
