Xiao Xue was particularly happy while she was recovering from her injuries. The relationship between the two became closer. Zhao Che tried not to hide anything from Xiao Xue anymore. He told Xiao Xue as much as he could about Beijun.
The smooth relationship between the emperor and the empress is also a good thing for the ministers in the court. At least the emperor will not be unstable or get angry at will. The ministers in the court are very grateful to Xiao Xue for allowing Zhao Che to be gentle. Except for a few old ministers who are very fond of Xiao Xue.
Xue was dissatisfied, but the ministers in the court were very satisfied with this beautiful and fragrant queen, and often praised her highly.
Xiao Xue originally thought that her life would always be so happy, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, rumors began to spread in the court, saying that she behaved inappropriately and was not perfect before marrying Zhao Che. I don’t know who spread this rumor. Just now
At first, it was only spread by a few people. A month later, the rumor grew bigger and bigger. There were some obscene poems and words slandering the queen on the streets of the capital. This incident caused great shock in the court.
Xiao Xue is the Queen of Beijun. This is different from the procedures for other beautiful ladies before entering the palace. Zhao Che does not care about these etiquettes, so there is no such thing as a physical examination before entering the palace. Therefore, after being slandered, Xiao Xue just ate
Dumb and dumb. This incident arose out of nowhere and spread more and more widely. It was said that when Xiao Xue was fourteen years old, she was captured and used as a robber. Now that the robber was released from prison, the rumor spread even more fiercely.
It gradually spread in the palace that chastity is very important for a woman. If a woman loses her virginity, she will be dipped in a pig cage and cremated in an ordinary family, let alone an emperor's family. Xiao Xue is satisfied with this.
When He Luzhu angrily talked about this incident, he was dumbfounded. She had not lost her virginity when she was robbed on the hilltop, and not many people knew about it. In addition to spreading rumors about this incident, many people also spread the rumor that Xiao Xue often had sex with her in Beijun.
The men were mingling together, which made Xiao Xue extremely angry.
The customs of the two places are different. North County is bold and unrestrained. The county king is a man without any scheming and bold. Xiao Bing is unruly and has no mistress in his family. Xiao Xue grew up with Xiao Bing and the county king, hanging out in the army and his brother.
Growing up among a group of friends, it was naturally a man's world. She naturally had good friendships with some of her friends, but she never talked about hanging out. If she really said hanging out, it was just entering some places that she shouldn't enter. Such as brothels and casinos.
In a place like this, she defeated the gambling king of Beijun in Beijun. This incident was very sensational at the time. It was also an eye-opener for Xiao Xue. She was young and she was walking sideways in Beijun. Who dared to control her.
Even if she enters the casino, she is prosperous.
Xiao Bing has no objection to Xiao Xue going to a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. In his opinion, Xiao Xue can do whatever she likes.
She never expected that someone would investigate her affairs in Beijun and complain about her style. Once word spread, she really became an unruly queen. Xiao Xue asked calmly, "What was the reaction of the previous government?"
?”
Ruyi said, "I heard from Eunuch Zhou that the emperor heard about this, but did not go into details. A minister who remonstrated was pulled out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded by the emperor."
Ruyi said with sadness, Xiao Xue was shocked, "When did it happen?"
"At noon the day before yesterday," Ruyi said, "Eunuch Li said that the emperor doesn't want you to know about this, so we should not tell you anything. Once he is beheaded at the Meridian Gate, no one in the palace will dare to gossip."
Xiao Xue was secretly frightened as she listened, "Go find someone to help find out how this matter came out. Not many people know about this matter. Someone must have framed me."
Ruyi nodded, "Then I'm looking for Zhou Zheng."
Xiao Xue nodded. He beheaded a person the day before yesterday. No wonder he looked so ugly when he came back, and he was particularly cruel at night. Xiao Xue bit his lip. Would Zhao Che believe it? Zhao Che should know better than anyone whether she was perfect.
Xiao Xue suddenly thought of Zhao Che's stupidity and lamented. He probably really didn't understand anything and wouldn't really believe it.
This is difficult to do.
Xiao Xue narrowed her eyes and turned to the medical field. She had to attack from the side to make Zhao Che understand at least a little bit. In fact, this matter was not a big deal to her, at least that's what Xiao Xue thought at this time.
She has not yet realized what it means to be frightened by people's words.
Zhao Che was indeed in a bad mood these past two days, but he never showed it in front of Xiao Xue. He had heard the rumors spread among the people, and Zhou Zheng reported them one by one. When he rescued Xiao Xue, he knew that Xiao Xue was arrested.
Zhou Zheng also knew about this because he was a former Madam. Apart from them, few people knew that Xiao Xue was the princess of Bei County. He was baffled as to how this rumor started.
Regarding the matter of losing his virginity, Zhao Che felt complicated, angry and distressed at the same time. He knew what happened to Xiao Xue back then. She was a fourteen-year-old girl who was snatched up the mountain, and she huddled pitifully.
He was waiting in the corner for someone to come to rescue him. He heard a general say that the bandit leaders were beasts and had raped these women. Zhao Che then thought that Xiao Xue might have been raped too.
In addition to being angry, he was even more distressed.
When he thought that someone had possessed Xiao Xue like him, he wanted to kill that person, to cut him into pieces, to bear all this for Xiao Xue. She was still young, and this matter was beyond her control, and she couldn't control it either.
Suffered.
That day in the palace, he heard the official insulting Xiao Xue. He was furious and ordered someone to take him out and behead him as a warning to others who would dare to mention this matter in the future.
He didn't care whether Xiao Xue was perfect or not, because Xiao Xue didn't do it voluntarily.
So he didn't allow anyone to humiliate Xiao Xue.
After experiencing something like this, he will cherish her even more and will not look down on her.
He had already warned everyone in the palace to keep their mouths shut and not gossip behind their backs. He did not want to mention Xiao Xue's sad incident. He also sent his own shadow guards to investigate this matter again to find out who had spread the news.
If he knew who ruined Xiao Xue's reputation, he would not be lenient.
When he returned to Weiyang Palace that night, Xiao Xue had prepared a table of delicious dishes for him to come back. Zhao Che liked such a warm atmosphere. There was always someone waiting for him when he came back every night. Every time he heard the laughter from Weiyang Palace, Xiao Xue
Zhao Che felt warm and calm when he saw his smiling face, which no one could give him.
So he had to protect this woman even more.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Xue would take the initiative to mention this matter to him, "Your Majesty, do you still remember when you saved me in Ningzhou a few years ago?"
Zhao Che narrowed his eyes and subconsciously wondered who had told her so much, but when he saw Xiao Xue's expression remained normal, as if he had no intention of mentioning it, he nodded, "Why did you mention this so suddenly?"
