Chapter 233 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Is Someone from the Palace
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu frowned slightly, and then he said in a low voice: "Just tell me what you mean."
"I'm afraid that the emperor will think that I'm deliberately provoking you."
"Speak now, I pardon you."
This is exactly what Shen Yindi was waiting for.
"I interrogated the two men, and they said that they were instructed by someone to spread those rumors in the imperial capital. They also went to find some families of soldiers who died on the battlefield and incited their emotions."
"When asked if they knew who was behind this, they didn't know and only said it was someone from the palace."
As Shen Yindi spoke, she quietly observed him without making any movement.
Sure enough, when he heard him say this last sentence, his face darkened slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Yindi immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I heard from them that the mastermind behind this is someone in the palace, so I'm not surprised."
"In this palace, apart from the emperor who truly cares about my prince, there are too many people who hate him. There are also many who want him to never be able to turn over a new leaf."
The Emperor of Chu had a gloomy expression on his face.
After a while, the deep voice of the King of Chu sounded: "Girl, don't say anything without evidence, so as not to give people a reason to talk."
"Good luck." He called to the door.
"I am here, please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"Go and call Quanzhong over to me."
"The slave obeys the order."
Duofu went to do some work.
Shen Yindi suddenly asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, don't you want to meet those two people?"
In fact, Shen Yindi was also a little nervous. She was not worried about their confessions, but she was worried that they would be punished by the emperor himself, which might make it difficult to rescue them.
Now it depends on how much trust the gambling emperor has in her.
Finally, the emperor's deep voice rang out: "I am gone. Leave it to Lord Mu to deal with. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yindi didn't say anything else. She knew that the emperor had his own considerations.
"Okay, nothing else, you can go back first." Emperor Chu waved his hand, he had other things to deal with.
"Okay. I won't disturb Your Majesty's rest. I will take my leave now."
Shen Yindi breathed a sigh of relief silently, and then Duofu sent her out of the palace.
At the palace gate, the carriage was still waiting.
"Aqiao, are you okay? Do my two brothers need to go to the palace?" Si Qi immediately asked with concern.
"No need, just let me leave it to Lord Mu."
"That's okay, Brother Mu is one of us." Si Qi immediately said confidently.
"Well, let's go back first." Shen Yindi suggested.
Shen Yindi thought that by the time they got home, Chu Yan would also be back.
He must have known about today's rumors.
You must feel sad, right?
It hurts to think about it.
The Queen is very well-informed. I wonder how many spies she has planted on the Emperor's side.
She knew that Shen Yindi came to see Emperor Chu overnight.
Today, the rumors in the imperial capital are no longer the same as before, they are all curses against Chu Yan.
A force emerged to speak for him, and that force was growing stronger.
In fact, before that incident happened to Chu Yan, he was very popular with the public and enjoyed a high reputation among the people.
There are many people who admire him.
Even though he was slandered like that back then, there were still people who believed in him.
It’s just that this part of the power is relatively small, and it chooses not to speak out.
After all, when most people are attacking him, if you say a few words on his behalf, you will probably be attacked.
Now that there are so many people who are brave enough to stand up and explain for Chu Yan, this may have awakened that silent part.
The queen is always paying attention to the public opinion in the city.
After knowing what happened, she was in a bad mood.
"There are still people among the people who defend traitors? How ridiculous." The queen sneered.
"It seems that not enough people are talking about it."
"That ugly girl came in to see the emperor at night, and she probably got the grace."
The Queen didn't know what the Emperor Chu and Shen Yindi were talking about.
Because every time the King of Chu spoke to her, he would dismiss everyone, which made the Queen feel upset.
The nanny waited beside her and listened to her. At the end, she did not forget to ask, "Madam, do you want the wind to blow stronger?"
"Well, blow it harder. Strong winds are cool and quiet. They can blow away all the bad noises."
"Okay, I understand."
It was an hour later that Shen Yindi and Si Qi returned home.
Shen Yindi went to see Chu Yao first. Now Chu Yun is the one who takes care of her all the time.
After taking the medicine and sleeping for most of the day, she felt a little better.
Shen Yindi gave Chu Yun a few more instructions and then went back to her room.
As she expected, Chu Yan was already in the room.
He was reading the secret letter at this time.
Seeing Shen Yindi coming back, he immediately stood up.
"Adi, why are you back so late?" He came over, put one arm around her shoulders and held her hand with the other.
"I'm entering the palace."
"Have you heard the rumors in the city this afternoon?" Shen Yindi asked what he meant.
"Ah."
"In fact, it was much more serious that year than it was in the afternoon."
"It is indeed strange that these rumors suddenly emerged during this period." Chu Yan's face did not show much emotion, and he did not seem to mind the matter.
"Do you think this is the Queen's way of taking revenge on me? Is she trying to intimidate me?" The two of them sat down on the bed together.
"pretty close."
"We didn't just stand there and take the beating this time." Shen Yindi told Chu Yan everything she and Si Qi had done in the afternoon.
In fact, this time the effect was quite good.
Shen Yindi said with relief: "Your Highness, you see, there are still many people who believe in you. It's just that their power is not as strong as the other party! They chose to remain silent back then."
“This time, they want to speak up for the people they trust!”
Chu Yan nodded. He was deeply touched. He didn’t expect that so many people believed in him, and he didn’t expect that his A Di would react so quickly.
Moreover, he went to the palace to file a complaint. Such a smart person is rare in the world.
Since the emperor promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, he would definitely not give her a perfunctory answer. He was not worried about this matter at all.
Do those people think that once this rumor spreads and public opinion becomes strong, the emperor will revoke his order?
I simply don't understand him.
The emperor himself also wants to overturn his verdict. Doing so is undoubtedly a secret competition with the emperor!
Shen Yindi said: "Tomorrow I will spread the news that I have caught the source of the rumor, and let them all know that the people in the palace are the mastermind. Then, the people will definitely imagine a big drama in their minds."
"Adi, thanks to you." Chu Yan always had a faint smile on his face.
"Oh, don't say that, I just did what I could!"
After a moment's silence, Shen Yindi asked again, "Just now I came in and saw you reading a letter. Who is it from?"
"A secret letter from Shadow." Chu Yan did not hide anything and told the truth directly.
Shen Yindi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he instantly became interested: "Oh? They shouldn't be here yet, right?"
"What did the secret letter say?"
