Then he lay down and whispered in the concubine's ear.
Can the concubine endure the fact that she ate such a huge melon from the royal family? Especially women from high-end mansions who have nothing else to do except play cards and chat all day long.
So in the end, the concubine said to her personal maid: "I have only told you this matter. You must not tell others, otherwise you will be killed..."
The maid then told her little sister, "I will only tell you this matter, please don't spread it outside..."
In the end, everyone in Prince Xian's mansion, including the sweepers at the door, knew this "secret that cannot be told outside."
In the end, the secret continued to spread from Prince Xian's Mansion, and eventually the entire Shangjing City knew about it.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing it, and the people also treated it as a joke after dinner.
Nowadays, the first thing everyone says when they see their relatives and friends is, "Hey, have you heard..."
Then there are things like the following.
"Do you know what color hats we are wearing today?"
"Do you know that Jiu Qiansui is actually a fake eunuch? He is actually the illegitimate son of the queen who had an affair with someone else?"
"Do you know how Jiu Qiansui deceived the cleansing room and became a eunuch? Come on, let me reveal the secret to you, so that you can also listen to the details..."
By the end, the rumors were getting more and more outrageous, and Gu Mo couldn't help but praise King Xian. This is really a huge clever thing!
Naturally, these rumors quickly reached Wei Fengqing's ears. To be honest, this had basically no impact on his reputation, because it was no secret that he controlled government affairs and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and he had been scolded by others in the past.
As for saying that he is the queen's illegitimate son, so what? Shouldn't it be the queen who should be rushing to clarify?
It is said that he is a fake eunuch, does anyone dare to verify it? Even if it is verified, so what? Now that he has gang members in both the government and the public, who can do anything to him?
Therefore, Wei Fengqing was not panicked at all. On the contrary, he wanted to see what the queen's reaction was and what the emperor wanted to do by spreading the word.
Do you think you can use public opinion to remove him from power? How naive and ridiculous!
As for the queen, she was also very irritable when she learned about the rumors from the Zhou family.
She originally thought that with Wei Fengqing's methods, the emperor would be eliminated that night, and she didn't have to worry about her secret being spread out.
As a result, it was learned the next day that the emperor had gone to Nangong to hide, and Wei Fengqing could not do anything to him.
The emperor has not died, and the queen has been uneasy because she knows that no man can endure this kind of thing, and once this matter gets out, not only her, but the entire Zhou family will follow suit.
Because the Zhou family is not like Wei Fengqing, who is an eunuch, and everyone knows that he relied on despicable means to get to the position, and his reputation will not hinder his status at all.
The Zhou family is an aristocratic family and relies on its reputation. However, the daughter of the Zhou family eloped without getting married and gave birth to a child. Later, she pretended to be a young lady and entered the palace to become the queen. For the Zhou family, this was a disaster.
Unexpectedly, what she feared most actually happened.
The emperor actually spread the word about this matter, and everyone knew about it, which directly pushed the Zhou family to the forefront!
How dare he? Isn't he afraid that others will laugh at him?
Seeing Queen Zhou's face, Zhou Guozhang knew that Wei Fengqing should really be Queen Zhou's child.
Zhou Guozhang naturally knew that Queen Zhou had given birth to a child. At that time, in order to eliminate Queen Zhou's thoughts, they thought of killing the child. Who knew that Wei Dalang noticed it and hid the child secretly before his death? , they searched for a while but couldn't find it, so they just assumed that the child was dead.
Who would have thought that the child was found by Empress Zhou, and she kept hiding it from the Zhou family, and now she is causing such a big trouble because of this child.
Zhou Guozhang was furious and scolded Queen Zhou for being confused.
The queen lowered her head and said nothing.
Maybe she knew subconsciously that the Zhou family would not tolerate Wei Fengqing, so she went to find Wei Fengqing without telling the Zhou family.
"Father, Fengqing is my child. This is an indisputable fact. What's the use of pursuing this now?"
Zhou Guozhang also knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no point in scolding Queen Zhou.
Now if the Zhou family wants to restore their reputation, they must kill Wei Fengqing to silence him, but the problem is that the Zhou family cannot afford to touch Wei Fengqing now.
Other than that, the only option is to let the emperor stand up and refute those remarks. Although it is a bit deceptive, it is better than doing nothing and letting the situation continue to develop.
So here’s the question. The emperor secretly ordered King Xian to spread the word, proving that he no longer cares about the royal reputation. How could he be willing to stand up and refute the rumors?
In the Yangxin Hall, Gu Mo was racking his brains in giving a lecture to Lingxi.
Now there is no room for him to interfere in the government affairs. Even the 9,000-year-old Wei Fengqing is approving the papers. He doesn't have to do anything except show up in court every day to prove that he is still alive.
Moreover, the area outside Yangxin Hall is guarded by people from Dongchang.
Unless she brings Lingxi as a thug, she can't go anywhere except to the Jinluan Palace when she goes to court.
Gu Mo also had no desire to go out for a walk, and spent every day huddled in the Yangxin Hall, planning how to complete the task.
She couldn't count on all her wisdom, and of course she couldn't count on those sons who were not very bright-minded to really save her by becoming her son-in-law.
People still have to rely on themselves.
It's just that this kind of thing needs to be considered in the long term and you can't panic. The most urgent task now is to cultivate the connotation of Lingxi.
Gu Mo thought that Lingxi might have read too little, and there were no elders around her to instill experience and principles into her, so she was overly naive.
Read more books and teach more. Her mind will be enriched and connotated, and she will no longer be so superficial and only look at faces.
But soon Gu Mo discovered that Lingxi's short-sightedness might be the same as that of her older brothers. It had nothing to do with whether she could read books or understand the truth. She might just be born with such a short-sightedness, which couldn't be made up for by reading books, nor could it be reversed by the truth. of.
Even if she were placed in the center of a whirlpool of intrigues and intrigues and had been exposed to them since childhood, she might not have a few more curves.
For example, Gu Mo told her about growth and tribulations, and told her that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and he used a story about Buddha statues and steps.
There was a wooden board that was cut into two pieces. One was carved into a Buddha statue and enshrined in the temple, and the other was laid on the steps in front of the temple. For a thousand years, the Buddha statues have been worshiped high above, and incense has been flowing in. The steps can be seen In his eyes he was very unconvinced and said to the Buddha statue;
"You and I are both a piece of wood. Why can I only be a step for people to step on every day, while you are above and be worshiped by others?"
The Buddha statue said to the steps: "You only experienced four cuts to become the steps, but I experienced a thousand cuts to be carved into a Buddha statue."
This story is very philosophical, right? Normal people can conclude from this story that "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening", right?
But after she finished speaking, do you know what Lingxi said?
