Two months later, it’s summer in Kyoto.

The weather was hot, and Feng Yu's body was afraid of both cold and heat. Ice had been put in the palace early, and melons and fruits were put in the well to freeze before use. Even in this way, it was difficult to relieve the heat. Because of the heat, Feng Yu had a poor appetite. She just likes to eat some iced melons and fruits to satisfy her hunger. Xie Xun is afraid that she will be hungry, so he tries to find ways to eat some with him every day. Feng Yu still feels that it is too hot and does not like to eat.

Xie Xun had never lived with Feng Yu for long periods of time, so he didn't know her habits. If he was facing a powerful enemy, Chunlu and Qiuxiang would feel nothing. Feng Yu had been like this since she was a child. She had no appetite in summer, and she loved eating sour food the most in summer. Sweet fruits, or sugar water with ice. The imperial doctor said that eating too much ice was not conducive to conceiving children, so Feng Yu was very restrained in taking the medicine to induce pregnancy.

Xie Xun felt reassured after asking Qiuxiang and Chunlu. The delegation would return to Beijing in a few days. This time, Han Ziqi of Sangnan and several members of the Sangnan royal family were accompanying them. Naturally, Xie Xun and Feng Yu also heard the news that Fang Chuning died in the battle in Sangnan. Xie Xun wanted to go to the border to take Xie Jue home. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night. He didn't dare to write a letter to urge Xie Jue, so he wrote every day. The letter was sent to Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing, asking them to report on the condition of their second brother one letter a day, and there was a special person to deliver the letter. Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing did not dare to disobey, one letter a day, and what to eat and do every day. , it is clear when to rest.

Xie Xun was even more worried after receiving the letter. He often said to Feng Yu, "Lin Xiao said that the second brother can eat and sleep as usual. Fang Chuning is dead, how can he not be any different at all?"

Feng Yu could only comfort him. They suddenly heard the news that Fang Chuning had died in battle, and they were all very sad and shocked. Although Xie Xun called Fang Chuning a vixen every day, he didn't want anything to happen to him.

Fang Chuning was also a member of the mission appointed by him. Xie Xun was extremely uneasy when something happened. He was like this. Mrs. Fang and Fang Lingjun were even more shocked when they heard the news.

The commander-in-chief has handed over the power of being the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan to his trusted general and asked for orders to return to Beijing, and Xie Xun agreed.

For such a big thing, it is impossible for the commander to stay in Jiangnan. He will definitely go home to be with his family. Fang Lingjun’s eyes were swollen from crying. If she were not worried about her mother, she would have left for Jiangnan. The most important thing is that she died without a complete body and was buried in the fire. There is no existence, not even a thought, and I can only set up a tomb at home.

It was fine if Fang Chuning died in the battle. Rumors about him and Xie Jue spread from Sang Nan to Kyoto and throughout Beining. The affair between two high-ranking men was so explicit that even Sang Nan spoke out. The book spread to Kyoto. When Xie Xun saw that the story book actually included Xie Jue and Fang Chuning messing around in the military camp, he immediately sent Jin Yiwei to arrest the bookstore where the book was published and immediately sealed it. He also sent people to strictly investigate those who spread the news, but he blocked it. Rumors kept spreading, and Xie Jue, who was slandered by those rumors, lost all his reputation, and became a man who was obsessed with men and caused the turmoil in Sangnan. Especially since Xie Jue now has a son and a daughter, and was a guest in the Northern Barbarians. Marrying Lan Ningzhen, having a little princess, and now rumored to have been hanging out with Fang Chuning for many years, and even having fun at palace banquets, Xie Jue was regarded by the world as a lustful man who covets male sex and has no taboos about men and women. ghost.

Precisely because he is Xie Jue, the world-famous prince, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Ningzhou Cavalry, who has made great military exploits for the Ningzhou Cavalry and the Beining Dynasty for so many years, and is even rumored to be as deserted as snow. Precisely because he used to be such a demigod, the erotic rumors about him spread more and more, and Xie Xun couldn't control them at all.

Xie Jue's reputation was almost ruined. Originally, he and Fang Chuning were the favorites in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital, but now they have become the talk of glamorous rumors.

Xie Jue's reputation used to be clean and holy, but now the rumors are so bad and ugly.

"No wonder he and Fang Chuning have not discussed getting married for so many years. It turns out that they have been secretly communicating with each other for a long time. It is really insulting to gentlemen."

"He is truly worthy of being our prince in Beining. I heard that General Fang has a peach-like face. In front of him is a beautiful Northern Barbarian noblewoman, and behind him is General Fang. He is truly blessed." "Where is the military camp? Then It is Ningzhou's frontline against the Northern Barbarians, and the dignified military advisors and generals are just busy having fun. No wonder the Northern Barbarians have not won the war after so many years of fighting."

"His Royal Highness Yanwang is so handsome and beautiful, but I didn't expect that he is actually a lecherous devil who doesn't care about men and women. It's really disgusting."

"These powerful people are all the same, they only have appearances."

"A river of blood was shed for a man. Fortunately, the emperor of Beining is not him. To get angry like this would be to disgrace the reputation of Zhenbei Houfu."

The people are all talking about it, and the court is even more so. However, due to Xie Jue's majesty and his usual coldness, they dare not discuss it in front of Xie Jue, but it is not necessarily the case behind his back!

Lin and Li had both heard young courtiers talk several times, saying that it was no wonder that the prince and General Fang were inseparable and that they had such a relationship. They were shocked, stunned, and snooped. They would even make up stories about when and where they had seen them holding hands and kissing. Lin Heli had heard them talking about it, mainly because Zhang Boju was making too much noise.

Because two young officials were talking behind his back and making humiliating remarks, Zhang Boju couldn't bear it. A civil servant rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with them. His eyes were red while fighting back.

"In the future, whether in the court or in the capital, if I hear you talking about Fang Chuning again, I will beat you every time you see him!" Zhang Boju was confused. "If you don't change after repeated admonitions, I will find a reason to file a lawsuit and banish you to the wilderness." land!"

Everyone, "..."

Those who talk about Fang Chuning in this way are mostly from the Li family. Fang Chuning has a high status in the circle of the second generation of the clan, and his friendship is very strong. Most of them are protected by young men like Zhang Boju, and they do not allow others to talk at all. But the greater their reaction, the more energetic their hostile officials will be. They also know that they cannot talk about Xie Jue, because the emperor protects the calf and dare not talk about the prince, so they talk about Fang Chuning wantonly. Who would be willing to give up such a good opportunity to attack the other party.

Therefore, there was a lot of discussion between the court and the people.

The situation in the Fang family was the worst. Fang Lingjun didn't go out to socialize. Whenever she went out, she would be teased, saying that her brother didn't like anyone but actually liked men. He had been hanging out with men for so many years and had lost so many fiancées. Maybe he did it himself, various conspiracy theories came out. Fang Lingjun had a hot temper and beat a girl from the clan until her nose was black and swollen. The wife brought the girl to the house to seek justice. Mrs. Fang had a very strong self-esteem, but she was trampled on for the first time. She shamelessly insulted Sang and Huai, saying that her family tradition was not good, and Mrs. Fang fell ill in anger.
