Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 59: Your Majesty is also a good wife?

Yuan Shang finally adopted Guo Jia's strategy.

Although Shen Pei felt that there might be something wrong with this plan, he couldn't find out where the problem was, so he didn't object.

After all, if Yuan Xi really married Zhen Mi and formed a family relationship with the Zhen family, it would not be good news for them.

It must be stopped.

So, under the manipulation of Yuan Shang and Shen Pei, rumors about Yuan Xi's intention to marry Zhen Mi and marry the Zhen family gradually began to spread in Yecheng.

At the same time, there was also a prophecy about Zhen Mi's "fate to become emperor or empress".

Things like this are what the common people like to discuss the most.

So there was no need for too much fanning the flames. Within a few days, the news spread throughout Yecheng and all the people were talking about it.

"Hey, have you heard that the Yuan family is going to marry the Zhen family?"

"It seems like he married the youngest daughter of the Zhen family? What's her name?"

"I know, her name is Zhen Mi!"

"Zhen Mi? Isn't she the famous beauty from the Zhen family? I heard she's a child prodigy. She's only fourteen this year, right?"

"The Zhen family has now climbed onto the high branch of the Yuan family."

"It's not really considered marrying up. The Zhen family is also a wealthy and prestigious family in Jizhou. They have billions of dollars in assets and are extremely rich!"

"That can't be compared to the Yuan family, they are a big family with three officials for four generations."

"That's true."

"But I heard that a fortune teller had read the face of the Zhen family's youngest daughter before. He said that she seemed to have a phoenix destiny and would become the queen in the future. Why is she marrying a man from the Yuan family now? Could it be that..."

"Tsk tsk, I thought Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were different, but now it seems that they are not that different."

"Shh! Shut up! Shut up! How can you say such nonsense!"

"Why can't we say it? Zhen Mi was destined to be a phoenix, but the Yuan family still married her. Isn't it because they wanted to be the emperor?"

"I don't want to chat anymore. My wife is about to give birth. I'm leaving now."

……

There were more and more discussions, and even Liu Xie heard about them.

At the gate of the imperial palace, Liu Xie ate rice cakes while listening to gossip outside the palace from Zhang He and Gao Lan.

"…Now it's all spread that Yuan Shao also wants to rebel and has even asked his son to marry a woman with a phoenix destiny."

Gao Lan looked around curiously and spoke in a low voice.

"Although face reading is a bit mysterious, I heard that the fortune teller who read the face of the Zhen girl is very famous. He said that the Zhen girl can become the queen, and it is almost certain that she can become the queen."

"So I think this daughter of the Zhen family will definitely become your majesty's queen in the future."

As soon as Gao Lan finished speaking, Zhang He slapped him on the forehead and glared at him, "What nonsense! Your Majesty already has a queen, but she is in Xu County!"

"You dare to make up stories about His Majesty, don't you want to keep your head?"

Gao Lan covered his head, angry but not daring to say anything.

Seeing this, Liu Xie pulled Zhang He over and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, don't do it. Why are you talking so seriously? Come on, come on, eat rice cakes, eat rice cakes."

He stuffed a rice cake into the hands of Zhang He and Gao Lan.

The three of them were having a great time here basking in the sun and chatting.

"Your Majesty, are you really not tempted? I heard that this Zhen woman is extremely beautiful. It would be nice if she could be taken into the harem as a concubine instead of the queen."

Gao Lan asked curiously while eating a rice cake. Liu Xie curled his lips. Who wouldn't be tempted by the goddess of Luoshui?
But he is just a fake emperor, what's the point of being interested in him?

But he still said stubbornly: "I like people who are a little older."

Gao Lan seemed to understand something after hearing this and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that you are a married woman? Well... married women are indeed more attractive."

As soon as he said this, Zhang He slapped him on the head again.

Before Gao Lan could turn around and get angry, Zhang He kicked him away and said angrily, "Go back on patrol!"

"Okay, Zhang Junyi, you have guts."

Gao Lan glared at Zhang He hatefully and left cursing.

Liu Xie watched the fun with a smile, leaned on his small stool and stretched, squinting at the clear sky, but his mind was thinking about other things.

Guo Jia has not come to the palace these days. He guessed that this matter regarding Zhen Mi was most likely instigated by Guo Jia. That guy is very sinister.

He was a little curious. What would happen in the end?

……

Yuan Mansion, lobby.

Yuan Shao, who was still recovering from his illness, was supported by Madam Liu and started to curse and rage: "Who! Who spread these rumors?"

He just heard his subordinates report these rumors and news today, and he was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood!

In the hall, Ju Su, Shen Pei, Guo Tu and other counselors were all there.

The brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were also here.

Faced with Yuan Shao's anger, no one dared to speak.

And Yuan Xi's expression was as stinky as if he had eaten shit.

Originally, the marriage alliance with the Zhen family was going well, but now the rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Some people even say that the Yuan family has set their sights on Zhen Mi's fate as empress and are plotting to become emperor just like Yuan Shu!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Xi glanced at Yuan Shang beside him and said to Yuan Shao in a deep voice: "Father, there must be someone behind this matter, otherwise why would someone link the so-called prophecy with the marriage?"

"I suggest that this matter be investigated thoroughly!"

As soon as Yuan Xi finished speaking, Yuan Shang followed up with a serious face and said, "Father, I have sent people to conduct a thorough investigation and patrol the city. Anyone who dared to discuss this has been arrested and imprisoned!"

"The reputation of our Yuan family cannot be tarnished by those villains!"

But after hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned, slammed his cane on the ground, and scolded: "Nonsense! Who told you to arrest people?"

"Arresting people now would make us look guilty. Wouldn't that just confirm those rumors? Release all the arrested people immediately!"

Yuan Shang was a little flustered, and quickly bowed and said, "I was inconsiderate, and I know my fault! Please punish me, father!"

His face was full of guilt and self-blame.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Shao wanted to continue scolding but couldn't. Finally, he let out a long sigh and sat down on the armchair beside him.

"Husband, calm down."

Mrs. Liu offered him a cup of tea.

Yuan Shao took a sip and then said to Yuan Shang: "Forget it, you have good intentions, but you acted too impulsively."

After saying this, he looked up at the counselors in the hall.

"The most urgent task is to find a way to quell the rumors."

"Tell us what you think."

If the rumor is not resolved and spreads, it will be another major blow to his already damaged reputation, and he cannot afford such consequences.
