Mu Yexiao finally concluded with a cold smile: "Also, if you want to accuse someone, do you need evidence? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to come to the emperor based on a rumor? Shouldn't you trace the source of the rumor?"
This makes sense. The ministers below were whispering. The emperor looked at the ministers below and said, "My dear ministers, Cao Suixin is just a little girl, but someone spread such a heart-breaking rumor against her. What is the purpose behind this? Shouldn't you think about it carefully?"
What I mean is, Cao Suixin is just a little girl, who would target a little girl for no reason? And spreading such rumors, could it be that they are targeting the Bingjian Palace
Although the Palace of Prince Bingjian does not handle government affairs now, as long as Prince Bingjian exists and stands there securely, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty feel that they can live a stable life. This is what the people want.
So now some people are targeting the Bingjian Prince's Palace and want to disintegrate the Great Zhou Dynasty from within. The best way is to alienate the relationship between Bingjian Prince and the Emperor. As long as the two are in opposition, the Great Zhou will be destroyed.
It is obvious that Cao Suixin is the target of these people. Not only Cao Suixin, but anyone who can come into contact with Qian Jiujiu Mu Yexiao or even the emperor will become the target of Tianzhu Palace.
So at this time, we should find out who is related to the Tianzhu Palace, and the person who spread the rumors is definitely someone related to the Tianzhu Palace.
After hearing what Mu Yexiao said, the people in the court were afraid to speak. That's right, who are Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao? How could they be fooled by a child so easily
Just when everyone was silent, Lord Yuan suddenly spoke up: "If Cao Suixin is from Tianzhu Palace, then is it possible that Gu Qi is also from Tianzhu Palace and is just putting on a show? The prince and princess are also human beings."
As a human being, there will be mistakes, that's what it means. Mu Yexiao didn't expect that after he said so much, there would still be people who were so whimsical.
Suddenly he laughed: "If that's the case, then let's investigate. Find someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, starting from the source of the rumor."
You are right. We just need to investigate from the source. After hearing what Mu Yexiao said, Lord Yuan nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. However, during this investigation, Miss Cao will not be able to leave the house at will."
Mu Yexiao sneered: "Of course, I will have people keep an eye on her."
The emperor coughed twice and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Gu Aiqing, I'll let you investigate this matter. What do you think?"
Gu Xiangning raised his eyebrows and spoke before anyone else could speak: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to intervene in this matter. I'm the prince's brother-in-law, and this matter also involves my Gu family, so I should avoid suspicion."
Is it related to his Gu family? Everyone was very shocked. The Gu family, the first imperial merchant, was indeed related to Mingyue Island. This was considered a personal admission.
The emperor was somewhat helpless and glanced at Gu Xiangning: "Well, then, Lord Lin, you can take care of this matter."
Lin Zezhi nodded immediately and continued: "I will live up to the emperor's trust and investigate this matter thoroughly."
When the ministers saw that the person the emperor had ordered to investigate was Lin Zezhi, they understood that the emperor still believed in King Bingjian.
After all, Lin Zezhi's wife was also from Mingyue Island. The emperor nodded with satisfaction. As expected, Zezhi was the most obedient.
"If that's the case, then let's withdraw from the court."
Gu Qi is now suspected of having a connection with the Tianzhu Palace, so naturally he cannot be rewarded. We need to find out everything first.
After the court session ended, the emperor was the first to stand up and leave. Mu Yexiao glanced in the direction of Marquis Yuan, smiled mysteriously, then turned and left.
Gu Xiangning quickly followed, and Lin Zezhi followed, and after the group of people left, someone came to Lord Yuan and gave him a thumbs up.
"Lord Yuan is really amazing. He even dares to confront Prince Bingjian. He even drags the Gu family into this. He is really amazing."
This offended the two great tycoons of the Great Zhou Dynasty at once. Well, it also offended the greatest tycoon of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor. Lord Yuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't listen to these people at all, and left with annoyance in his heart.
Mu Yexiao returned to the mansion and told Qian Jiujiu what happened in the morning court. Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "Well, do they simply think that Sui Xin is from Tianzhu Palace?"
Speaking of this Tianzhu Palace, it is really difficult to deal with. He has no fixed place, but no one knows how powerful he is. Should the Wang family also tighten up? After all, it has been set up for so many years, and it is not impossible to replace it.
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, they probably just listened to some of the rumors and didn't pay attention to whether Sui Xin's luck was real or not?"
It is still unclear whether Cao Suixin's good fortune can protect the entire country, after all, she is still young.
Cao Suixin was quickly invited over, with a worried look on his face: "Master, are you looking for me because of the rumors outside?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Don't worry about the rumors outside, just stay in the mansion recently and cooperate. It will be resolved."
Hearing this, Cao Suixin understood that her master trusted her the most: "Thank you, Master. As long as you trust me, that's all."
Qian Jiujiu was amused and patted Cao Suixin's head: "I called you here and told you this specifically because I was worried that you might have wild thoughts. It's also Master's fault. I didn't expect that they would attack you."
Cao Suixin frowned: "Master, I didn't have time to tell you that I made enemies in Kyoto. I always feel that this matter has something to do with them..."
He told the story of the encounter with the Yuan sisters when he was buying inkstones. The Yuan sisters, Lord Yuan? Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "It was Lord Yuan who refuted me in person in the court today."
Uh! Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes. If it was really related to the Yuan sisters, Lord Yuan jumped out to commit suicide. How much did he despise them for standing shoulder to shoulder with the royal palace
He patted Cao Suixin's head and said, "I understand. I will tell the people who are investigating. If you can't go out during this period, you should study medicine well in the mansion."
This girl has been having fun since coming to Kyoto, and her studies have fallen behind. Cao Suixin blushed and nodded, a little embarrassed: "Yes, Master."
Just as I was about to go back, I heard that the prince had arrived. After entering the room, he spoke very politely: "Greetings to Uncle Wang and Auntie."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the prince: "Why is your highness here?"
The Crown Prince was a little embarrassed: "Well, I, I came to see Cao Suixin. People outside are talking about her, so I came to comfort her."
So that's how it is. Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Then you guys go down by yourselves."
Mu Yexiao looked at the backs of the two people and narrowed his eyes: "These two people are not young anymore."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "Two kids under ten years old, what do you mean they are not young anymore? What's wrong with getting along with each other?"
That's right. Mu Yexiao hummed and glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head and refused: "No, I got a medicinal herb recently, I want to try its effect."
Mu Yexiao followed with a smile: "I'll go with you."
The prince followed Cao Suixin to Cao Suixin's courtyard. Cao Suixin then looked at the prince and said, "Brother Xiaomu, you don't have to worry about me. Master has told me to just wait for news. She believes in me."
After taking a look at Cao Suixin, the prince was speechless. When he was useful, he was Xiaomu's brother, and when he was useless, he was Xiaomu's younger brother.
But then again, Cao Sui Xin was indeed three years older than him, it was just because he was tall that he looked older than Cao Sui Xin.
"It seems that you don't need my comfort at all."
Cao Suixin nodded: "Yes, I don't need it. But thank you anyway, and I think this matter is related to the Yuan sisters! After all, I only offended them."
Yes, this is also a clue: "I will deliver this message to Lord Lin, don't worry. Since you don't need my comfort, I'll leave first."
The prince left the palace in depression. It was a rare opportunity for him to comfort a girl, but it turned out that his actions were unnecessary. How could the prince be happy
When I went out, I saw Nannan, Beibei and others coming back together, with Lin Xing'er by their side. After Gu Qi came that day, Beibei left Lin Xing'er in the palace.
After waiting for the emperor's marriage decree to come down, she would marry out of the Bingjian Palace. Being able to marry out of the Bingjian Palace is something that many people dream of, and Lin Xing'er got it.
But right now, things seem to be going wrong again. Gu Qi cannot go out because he will be investigated. The same goes for Lin Xing'er, so she cannot go out.
Beibei had originally taken Lin Xing'er out early in the morning to buy some clothes and other things in preparation for Lin Xing'er's dowry, but was called back.
They said that Lin Xing'er was not allowed to leave the palace because she might also be from Tianzhu Palace. Beibei was speechless and could only bring Lin Xing'er back.
"Sister, you're out so early."
Beibei was a little surprised to see the prince: "Why did you come to the palace?"
Ever since the Crown Prince brought the Queen Mother back from Xianyou Town, the Emperor has not restricted the Crown Prince's whereabouts.
The prince was too embarrassed to say that he came to comfort Cao Suixin, but he hadn't done his job yet: "I just missed you, so I came to see you."
Beibei smiled immediately: "Is that so? Now that I'm back, don't leave yet. Stay and play for a while."
The prince was in a hurry to deliver the message! Naturally, he would not stay: "I suddenly have something to do, I will come to play with my sister next time."
Beibei looked at the prince's back and frowned.
