Chapter 318: Chapter 43: The Xia’s Empress, My Wife! _3

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards were carefully selected from the elite of the Changning Imperial Army and were relatively loyal. Without much hesitation, they led the middle-aged Imperial Censor away.

As the middle-aged Imperial Censor was being taken away, he shouted skyward:

“I think Your Majesty should be well aware of who the father of the child is. This matter is truly a absurdity! It’s the disgrace of our Xia Country!”

Yu Qinghan’s expression was solemn as she called over several commanders of the Black Guards and instructed:

“I will give you six hours to investigate the origin of this rumor in the capital city. There must be no mistakes!”

“Yes!”

The Black Guard commanders took the order and left.

During these six hours, Yu Qinghan felt as if every day was a year.

She found that the speed of the news dissemination was even faster than she had imagined!

The news spread on the reports of the Xia’s Government Office, the mouths of countless scholars in the imperial college, the alleyways among the people, and teahouses and taverns.

Many officials even dug up her past experiences and began writing articles to ridicule and criticize her.

She wouldn’t truly believe this if there wasn’t someone instigating the matter behind the scenes.

“The Empress actually gave birth to two children! What a disgrace!”

“Who is the father?”

“I heard it’s the crown prince of Yan Country!”

“Is it true or false? It’s so explosive!”

For a time, this caused quite a stir throughout Xia Country.

“Is it true that the Empress murdered the two previous emperors?”

“It’s very likely. Women are most poisonous. Hasn’t she done this kind of slaughtering before? They say she’s a savior, wise and divine, but I think she’s just a once-fierce tiger who’s gained power for a while.”

Yu Qinghan sat in the Main Hall, her Divine Insight spreading out. She could hear that many palace maids, eunuchs, and guards within the Imperial Palace were discussing this matter.

Her face was unprecedentedly solemn.

Lu Zhu, standing beside her, carefully reminded her:

“Your Majesty, the price of salt has risen to 500 wen per stone. If it continues like this, I’m afraid the unrest in the three states of the capital region won’t be contained.”

Yu Qinghan pondered in silence without replying.

She knew that someone behind the scenes was plotting, but facing such a situation, she felt powerless.

She was good at marching and fighting, arranging troops and formations, and practising martial arts. She was also capable of managing the country and employing capable ministers.

But when it came to the scheming and every aspect of governing a country, her experience was still too lacking.

Her workaholic brother, Yu Yunping, might have been good at it.

But he was already dead.

“What? The Royal Crown Prince and the Xia’s Empress are a couple!”

“The Royal Crown Prince? How is that possible? This can’t be true!”

At the entrance of Yan Hall in Nanyu Prefecture.

Zhao Huai, who had just returned from purchasing cultivation resources at the Heavenly Treasures Trade Association, heard this news.

His face immediately darkened.

It seemed as if he realized something. Someone was trying to use this method to defeat the south and north countries of Central State.

At the same time, Zhao Huai quickly received a message. After checking the jade slip reply, his expression became even worse.

His wife was in a terrible situation now.

“All of you, shut up.”

Zhao Huai reprimanded the guards at the entrance, then hurried into the government office, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in confusion.

On the way, he encountered patrolling Yan soldiers.

He clearly sensed that there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.

Song Zhishu, Dongfang Xuan, Zhou Ping, Granny Su Li, Yang Biao, and other important officials were already sitting in the living room.

“Your Highness, what’s going on?”

Seeing Zhao Huai, Song Zhishu’s tone wasn’t rushed, but more of a questioning.

Zhao Huai hesitated for a moment and sighed.

Ultimately he decided to reveal the truth. He looked at the crowd and said solemnly:

“The Xia’s Empress is my wife!”
