Can I get to the other side?

Yuan Shang finally adopted Guo Jia's strategy.

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

After all, if Yuan Xi really marries Zhen Mi and forms a marriage relationship with the Zhen family, this will not be good news for them.

It must be stopped.

Therefore, under the operation of Yuan Shang and Shen Pei, rumors about Yuan Xi's marriage to the Zhen family and Zhen Mi gradually began to spread in Yecheng.

Also circulating at the same time was Zhen Mi's prophecy of "the destiny of the emperor and empress".

Things like this are what ordinary people like to discuss.

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

"Hey, have you heard that the Yuan family is getting married to the Zhen family!"

"It seems that you are marrying the little daughter of the Zhen family? What is your name?"

"I know, my name is Zhen Mi!"

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

"The Zhen family is now on the high branch of the Yuan family."

"It's not like climbing a high branch. The Zhen family is also a wealthy and prominent family in Jizhou. They have a fortune of billions and are extremely rich!"

"That's nothing compared to the Yuan family. She is the most powerful person in the family."

"That's true."

"But I heard that there was a fortune teller who met the youngest daughter of the Zhen family before? She seems to have a destiny and will be a queen in the future? Why is she married to the Yuan family now? Is it possible..."

"Tsk, tsk, I thought Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were different, but now it seems they are no different."

"Hush! Silence! Silence! Can you say such nonsense!"

"Why can't we say it anymore? Zhen Mi has a phoenix life, but the Yuan family still married her. Doesn't it mean that he wants to be the emperor?"

"I won't talk anymore. My mother-in-law is going to give birth. Let's go first."

…

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

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

"...Now it has been spread that Yuan Shao also wants to rebel, so he asked his son to marry a woman with a phoenix destiny."

Gao Lan looked around and lowered his voice.

"Although fortune telling is a bit mysterious, I heard that the fortune teller who gave the fortune teller to the Zhen girl was famous. He said that if the Zhen girl could be a queen, then she would be a real queen."

"So I think this Zhen's daughter will definitely become your Majesty's queen."

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

"Your Majesty, you dare to arrange it. Don't you want your head?"

Gao Lan covered his head and dared not speak in anger.

Seeing this, Liu Xie pulled Zhang He over and said, "Hey, hey, don't do anything, don't do anything. Why are you being so serious while chatting? Come on, come on, eat rice cakes, eat rice cakes."

He stuffed a rice cake into Zhang He and Gao Lan's hands.

The three of them were enjoying themselves here while chatting in the sun.

"Is Your Majesty really not moved? I heard that this Zhen woman is so beautiful that she might as well be a concubine instead of a queen."

Gao Lan asked curiously while eating rice cakes.

Liu Xie curled his lips, "How can anyone not be tempted by the Goddess of Luoshui?"

But he is just a fake emperor, so what's the use of being tempted.

But he still said stubbornly: "I like older people."

After listening to this, Gao Lan seemed to have some enlightenment and asked: "Is it possible that Your Majesty is a good wife? Well... a woman who is a wife does have more flavor."

As soon as he said this, he received another slap on the head from Zhang He.

Before Gao Lan could turn around, Zhang He kicked him away and said angrily: "Go to patrol!"

"Okay, Zhang Junyi, you have the guts."

Gao Lan glared at Zhang He hatefully, cursed and left.

Liu Xie smiled and had fun, stretched out on the pony, squinted at the clear sky, but was thinking about other things.

Guo Jia hadn't come to the palace these days. He estimated that it was Guo Jia who started this Zhen Mi incident. That guy was very shady.

He was a little curious, what would happen in the end?

…

Yuan Mansion, lobby.

With the support of Mrs. Liu, Yuan Shao, who was still seriously ill, cursed and got angry: "Who! Who spread these rumors!"

He just heard these rumors and news reported by the people below today, and he almost vomited blood in anger!

In the lobby, Jushou, Shenpei, Guo Tu and other counselors were all there.

Brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are also here.

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

And Yuan Xi's expression was as stinky as eating shit.

The marriage with the Zhen family was originally a good one, but now the rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Some people actually say that their Yuan family is interested in Zhen Mi's destiny as empress, and they are plotting the throne 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 how could anyone involve the so-called prophecy with the marriage? Together?"

"My child suggests that we investigate this matter carefully!"

As soon as Yuan Xi finished speaking, Yuan Shang followed up and said seriously: "Father, we have sent people to thoroughly investigate the child. At the same time, we have people patrolling the city. All those who dare to comment have been arrested and imprisoned!"

"My Yuan family's reputation 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 makes you look guilty, doesn't it confirm those rumors? Go and release all the people you arrested immediately!"

Yuan Shang was a little flustered, and hurriedly bowed and said: "It's my fault for not considering it carefully. I know my crime! Please punish me, father!"

His face was full of guilt and self-blame.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao wanted to continue scolding, but he couldn't. Finally, he sighed and sat down on the armchair beside him.

"Husband, calm down."

Mrs. Liu offered him a cup of tea.

Yuan Shao took it and drank it, and then said to Yuan Shang: "Forget it, you are also kind-hearted, but you acted too impulsively."

After speaking, he looked up at the counselors in the hall again.

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

"Tell us what you think."

If the rumors are not resolved, once they spread, it will be another major blow to his already damaged reputation. He cannot bear such consequences.
