Great Swordsman

Chapter 488 Rumors
Qin Mengyao's worries soon became reality.

Within a few days, a name was suddenly mentioned frequently in various teahouses, brothels, and hotels in the imperial capital.

"Lu Qi, who failed to pray for rain that day, what happened afterwards?"

"I heard that she was secretly executed by the queen!"

"No way? I remember that apart from Lu Qi, even the four heavenly masters in Longhu Mountain failed to pray for rain. The queen has no reason to kill Lu Qi!"

"You won't even kill the celestial masters in Longhu Mountain, right?"

"It's not impossible! I heard from my uncle's neighbor's aunt's sister's husband that both Lu Qi and Longhushan Celestial Master failed to pray for rain that day, and there is something else hidden!"

"If there is something hidden, why didn't you bring it up at that time?"

"I heard it has something to do with the queen! So they dare not speak out in public!"

"Lu Qi's disappearance, could it be related to this?"

"What is the queen hiding?"

"The failure of praying for rain made me work hard to double the annual tribute to the Dragon Palace. Doesn't the queen want to explain it to the subjects of the world?"

"I know! It must be the empress who made the prayer for rain fail, and then made five with Dragon Palace Eryi, dividing the soaring annual tribute equally!"

"Idiot! The empress is the mother of a country, and her child is the next new emperor. The whole world belongs to her. Would she care about such a mere tribute?"

"What if her child is not a royal family named Ji?"

"What do you mean?"

"I also heard that about half a year ago, didn't the empress bring all her ministers to sacrifice to the Taizu? That time, in the name of praying for the mad emperor, it was actually the royal family surnamed Ji who wanted to verify whether the child in her womb was the emperor or not. of!"

"Where does this start? Could it be that Taizu can still manifest spirits?"

"The spiritual energy is revived, why can't Taizu manifest his spirit?"

"Could it be that the imperial court built Taizu temples in various counties and counties, and molded the Taizu's golden body, just to make Taizu appear?"

In just a few days, rumors centered on Lu Qi became rampant.

The Hanlin Academy immediately wanted to suppress it when it found out, but although these rumors were secretly saying that the failure of praying for rain was because the queen’s child was not from the royal family, all the rumors were just "taste and stop", if the Hanlin The court overreacted, but confirmed the authenticity of these rumors!
But if you just sit idly by, these rumors will definitely spread more and more widely, no matter how outrageous, there will always be a certain number of people who will choose to believe, and then the consequences will be unimaginable!
The Hanlin Academy hurriedly reported the matter to the palace.

"Your Majesty, this kind of rumor is too much! It's really deceiving!" Zhu'er hugged the little prince and stomped anxiously, suggesting that the rumor should be banned immediately and all villains who spread the rumor should be arrested!

"No, doing so will only intensify the rumors!" You Lan shook her head.

Leng Mei also said: "Your Majesty entered the Taimiao in front of so many ministers when she was pregnant, no one in the court would believe these rumors!"

Zhu'er's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you carry the prince into the Taimiao again, if that's the case..."

"Don't even talk about it." Qin Mengyao lay sideways on the side of the bed, and the little bamboo was lying behind her, trying to move over mountains and mountains, but was suppressed by Qin Mengyao, and the little bamboo was thumping and babbling.

"Rumors only stop with wise people, we don't need to pay attention to them." Qin Mengyao said this, but his heart was extremely heavy!

The prince is indeed not her own, let alone has the blood of the royal family surnamed Ji. If she goes to the Taimiao again, she can naturally enter with the spirit of a real dragon, but the prince cannot.

In this way, she is bound to face catastrophe!
Therefore, never go to Taimiao!

Of course, you can't suppress rumors. Once you are serious about rumors, those who didn't believe them may really believe them. When the time comes, Qin Mengyao's situation will be terrible!

Therefore, at this moment, Qin Mengyao could only watch with cold eyes!

Or, silently kill the source of the rumors!

Jiang Yuange...

Qin Mengyao narrowed her phoenix eyes.

Lu Qi was 'recommended' by Jiang Yuange, if it wasn't for Jiang Yuange, Lu Qi would never have entered Qin Mengyao's eyes, let alone praying for rain during a fight!

By the way, pray for rain!
That day of gambling, the real dragon Chi Kiss could defeat any human race with its strong strength, why did it choose to pray for rain?

What if someone really succeeds in praying for rain?
So, there is only one answer!
That is Chiwen who is extremely sure to appear to pray for rain on behalf of the human race, and it is impossible to pray for rain successfully!
Jiang Yuange and Chi kiss... have collusion?

Qin Mengyao's heart sank!
Jiang Yuange, as the right minister and one of the four people who are in charge of the government, already has power in the government and the public. He colluded with Chi Kiss, and the person who is plotting can only be the throne!
How to break the game?

Qin Mengyao's thoughts turned.

Use Qin and Ying to fight against Jiang Yuange?
No, behind Jiang Yuange is Chi kiss, even if all the families in Dagan add up, it is impossible to fight against Chi kiss!
That is the strongest existence among true dragons!

Not surprisingly, he is the strongest in the world!
Even Li Mu couldn't possibly be a match for Chiwen, let alone the others!
But, why did Chi kiss cooperate with Jiang Yuange?

Qin Mengyao had come into contact with Chi kiss when he participated in the Dragon Palace banquet. This dragon was extremely arrogant and defiant. How did Jiang Yuange hook up with Chi kiss?

Qin Mengyao couldn't understand it.

Yeah!

Qin Mengyao's hands suddenly itched, and he looked down, but Xiao Zhuzi couldn't escape from Qin Mengyao's Wuzhi Mountain, so he turned his head and bit her wrist with all his might.

Qin Mengyao smiled and picked up the little bamboo, the restlessness in his heart disappeared immediately.

The empress really likes little Zhuzi... Seeing this scene, Zhu'er tightened her grip on the prince in her arms, and said to herself: The prince is so pitiful, the empress doesn't love him, but it doesn't matter, I will love the prince in the future!

……

Nine days should be Yuanshen Mansion.

Yaotai Building.

Yanwang Jihan, Shuwang Jihui, Taiwei Xiao Mo, Situ Yangxiu, Sikong Zhou Ziqiong and Taibao Gongsunzhi, the six palace masters sat at a round table to discuss the rumors that were raging in the imperial capital!

"We saw the empress enter the Taimiao with our own eyes. The rumors are unbelievable!" Zhou Ziqiong suggested that the Shenfu should come forward to clear up all kinds of rumors in the imperial capital and save the face of the royal family and the court.

"It's not without reason!" Yan Wang Jihan shook his head, thinking that the rumors could be let go for a while.

Ji Hui nodded silently, he meant the same as Ji Han.

The two had discussed in private, and felt that Jiang Yuange was most likely to spread these rumors. Although they didn't know what his purpose was, the fisherman would benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam!

"Peace is the most important thing." Gongsun Zhi hated fighting and killing, and thought it would be fun for everyone to cultivate immortality and live forever.

"There is no movement from the Hanlin Academy, which means that the queen is not in a hurry. If so, why should we worry about it?" Yang Xiu said cautiously.

He faintly felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind these rumors, if he got involved rashly, he might cause disaster!

After some discussion among the six, the minority obeyed the majority and decided to wait and see what happened.
