Xiao Yu was speechless, his words were justified, a loving mother often loses her son, on the contrary, the second prince is so outstanding, it must be taught by that woman Lu Jiao severely.

"Okay, you guys go back, I know what to do."

When Xie Yunjin and the second prince came out of the study room, the emperor ordered people to find out who sent the rumors.

Is the Chen family so stupid? There were such rumors.

The whole Chen family was panicked, they knew that Li Chan must have spread the rumor.

Because when Mrs. Chen was sending Li Chan away from the capital, she was stopped by some men in black, and those people took Li Chan away. After Li Chan was taken away overnight, such rumors spread.

Will His Majesty think that this is what the Chen family said.

Everyone in the Chen family was in a panic.

At this moment, the old man and the old lady only felt that the capital was too scary, and their joy of entering the capital was diluted a lot.

Now there is an idea of ​​wanting to leave Beijing and return to Qili Town.

"Your Majesty won't blame us, will you?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Muwu after finishing speaking, and said very annoyed: "Why did my second brother insist on bringing his wife and children to Beijing? If he didn't go to Beijing, wouldn't it be good to stay in Qili Town? It's all right now, the big and little fingers of our family Maybe you have to be implicated by Li Chan."

Although the Chen family was terrified, Xiao Yu did not ask anyone to question him. He felt that the Chen family would not be so stupid to spread rumors that were not good for Lu Jiao. These rumors were of no benefit to the Chen family and the second prince, so Xiao Yu did not Let people check the Chen family, he asked people to check who spread such rumors.

Finally, it was found out that the queen ordered someone to rob Li Chan, and then released such rumors.

Xiao Yu ordered someone to check Li Chan's whereabouts, and when he found out where Li Chan was, he ordered his subordinates to kill this woman, not even wanting to see her.

The queen and the first prince are still waiting for His Majesty to get angry and punish Lu Jiao for his crimes. If His Majesty asks about Lu Jiao's crimes, the people from the Xie family will definitely be blamed on the second prince. Will they help the second prince in the future? That's two words.

So it's a pretty good move.

But the queen waited and waited for Lu Jiao's imperial decree, but instead waited for the emperor.

Xiao Yu looked at the Queen with a gloomy expression, and the Queen said anxiously, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu asked indifferently: "Has the queen heard the rumors in Beijing? Rumors that the second prince was abused by Mrs. Xie?"

The queen's heart sank, and she quickly said: "Go back to your majesty, the concubine is in the palace, how can I know the rumors outside, the concubine doesn't know."

Xiao Yu said coldly: "I thought it was made by the empress."

The queen broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly expressed her opinion: "If you go back to your majesty, if there are no concubines, your majesty can check."

Xiao Yu smiled suddenly, and asked the queen: "I have nothing to do, I'm going to investigate such a thing."

He added another sentence: "It's fine if the Queen's hand is not stretched. If it is stretched, I don't mind breaking it."

After finishing speaking, he got up and took the people away. The queen behind her was pale, she knew that Xiao Yu had found out that she was the one who spread the rumor, so he appeared to warn her.

These days, the queen has noticed that Xiao Yu is partial to the second prince, and now she comes to warn her because of this rumor that is not good for the second prince.

He likes that second prince so much?

The queen's eyes gradually turned cold and vicious. She was the one who accompanied him to endure hardships and fight against those people. Now that he has become the emperor, the position of prince of the Great Zhou should belong to her son. If he hadn't treated her The son is not good, is she worthy of doing this?

The queen clenched her hands angrily, she would not give up, she would not give up the throne that belonged to her son.

Anyone who stands in the way of her son's ascension to the throne deserves to die.

The queen clenched her hands tightly.

At Xie's house, Lu Jiao was receiving guests. Nie Yuyao, Tian Huan and others heard the rumors circulating in the capital in the morning. After breakfast, they rushed to Xie's house to inquire about the situation.

Lu Jiao didn't know about this at first, but after hearing Nie Yuyao and Tian Huan's words, she realized the rumors circulating outside, and her face was very ugly. No accident, the rumor must have been spread by the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family.

But the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family has just entered Beijing, and she has no one or money, so it is impossible for her to spread these words overnight. I am afraid there is someone behind her? Someone from the Queen's faction?

Lu Jiao thought about it, and Nie Yuyao and Tian Huan asked her concerned: "Do you need us to send someone to help you clarify these rumors? The Chen family is from Qili Town, and we are also from Qinghe County. Say others will believe it."

Lu Jiao shook her head: "Don't do anything, don't make a big deal out of it, those who clean up will clean up themselves, I'm not afraid of being rumored."

Back then, when the previous life beat the child, it was like a pustule. It would be better to open it up and say it was broken, so as not to explode in the future.

In fact, the people behind the scenes just wanted His Majesty to punish her, but if His Majesty ignored her, these things would have no meaning at all.

So now it's up to His Majesty to believe it or not?

Lu Jiao thought of how many times she had saved His Majesty, even if His Majesty believed it, it was impossible for him to punish her for a felony.

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, Nie Yuyao and Tian Huan felt that it was reasonable. If they clarified, it would seem that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

"It's just that this matter really came from the Chen family? Did the Chen family do this to snatch the second prince from you?"

Nie Yuyao asked strangely, while Tian Huan also looked at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao shook her head: "It shouldn't be from the Chen family. The Chen family is not that stupid. They and I are people close to the second prince. We are on the same front right now. At this time, the two families are quarreling, which is not good for the second prince. It is likely that the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family and the people behind her spread such rumors."

Nie Yuyao and Tian Huan were surprised when they heard this: "Is there someone behind the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family? Who?"

Lu Jiao raised a thumbs up, indicating that it was probably that one.

Nie Yuyao couldn't help but have a headache: "That one is too impatient, is it that you can't accommodate the second prince?"

Tian Huan sighed and said, "I heard from Ling Feng that His Majesty valued the second prince very much. Didn't the second prince study at the household department before? He gave some good suggestions to the household department, do you know? The accounts of the household department have always been chaotic. , I can’t sort it out, as soon as the second prince entered the household department, he made a chart, entered the data in the chart, and then it was clear at a glance.

"The second prince also taught some officials in charge of accounts in the Ministry of Households the Arabic numeral statistics method that he learned from Jiaojiao. You don't know that the Ministry of Households regards the second prince as a treasure. Minister of the Household Department I boasted several times in front of His Majesty, saying that the second prince's mental arithmetic ability is too strong, he has a good memory, and he alone can be used by more than a dozen people. He casually flipped through the account books, and after flipping through them, he knew where there was a problem."

"Recently, he often helps the household department sort out these things, and now the household department is not as chaotic as before, and it looks exceptionally organized."
