Chapter 277 Beating in Face
Lin Junxue has already found out that the rumors in the past few days first came from Sun Manrou's palace, and several concubines who were dependent on her added fuel to the fire.
Qin Shushu and Zheng Jin were also not idle and contributed a lot to this, which made the rumors in the harem more and more intense.
Ever since Chen Xier's death, she guessed that Sun Manrou had been holding back, wanting to win favor and coveting the position of imperial concubine.
Now, Xie Yu has been doting on her, and Sun Manrou can no longer hold back, so she spreads rumors and starts to stir up trouble.
Sun Manrou's plan this time is indeed a success
She was planning to drag all the concubines in the harem into this. Even if she wanted to investigate, she couldn't let the concubines in the harem be punished together.
Sun Manrou's move is quite clever. Good, she has some brains now.
It's a pity that there are some but not many, and as the queen she cannot stand out.
But if Emperor Xie Yu stepped forward, it would have nothing to do with her.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue's forbearing expression, took her hand and sighed.
"You are too kindhearted. You are the queen, in charge of the harem. You know clearly that these rumors are not good for you, but you still tolerate them. If you don't speak up, I can't pretend that I don't know. Don't worry about this matter."
Lin Junxue said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I am the queen. Maintaining harmony among the concubines in the harem is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if I am subject to some rumors. Your Majesty does not need to stand up for me."
Lin Junxue said the same thing, and Xie Yu felt more and more that she was sensible, generous and kind.
Xie Yu became more determined to stand up for Lin Junxue and quell the rumors.
"Don't stop this matter. Gao Cheng will convey my order."
Gao Cheng glanced at Lin Junxue silently, then stepped back to convey the order.
After Gao Cheng went down
Lin Junxue held Xie Yu's hand and said with emotion, "Your Majesty, it's great to have you protecting me."
Lin Junxue knew that the more she retreated, the more she aroused Xie Yu's so-called desire to protect her.
This is why when men see a weak woman, they want to protect her.
Only by protecting the weak can a man's machismo be satisfied.
Xie Yu is very warm to her now, and naturally he can't bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "If I don't protect you, who else can protect Jun'er? In the future, if something like this happens again, don't bear the grievances by yourself. I will take care of it for you."
Lin Junxue nodded in a weak attitude and said, "I understand."
Seeing this, Qiao Xin stepped back, went out, and closed the door.
When Gao Cheng came back with the imperial edict, he saw Qiao Xin standing at the door.
When Gao Cheng approached, he heard the laughter coming from the bedroom.
Gao Cheng and Qiao Xin looked at each other, then stood together and kept watch.
Gao Cheng felt deeply moved. In just two short years, the situation in the harem had completely changed.
Now, the Queen is truly the Emperor's favorite.
That night, the decree issued by Xie Yu made countless concubines in the harem grit their teeth.
The rumors had only been circulating in the harem for a few days, but the emperor couldn't wait to stand up for the queen.
Sun Manrou was so angry that she smashed several cups in the palace
Where did the emperor place these concubines?
Back then, even when the Emperor was doting on Concubine Xi, he never stayed in her palace for half a month at a time.
But now the Queen has broken the Emperor's sleeping schedule and is monopolizing his power. It's so hateful.
When will she be able to become the imperial concubine?
Thinking of this, Sun Manrou gritted her teeth. If she didn't think of a solution, she would lose the emperor's favor.
However, she was more worried now that she was the one who spread the rumor, and if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely punish her.
What should she do?
The day after Xie Yu issued the decree, the rumors in the harem were instantly quelled.
Disappeared without a trace overnight
When paying respects, the concubines behaved in a very orderly manner, with harmonious expressions on their faces.
It’s as if the rumors these days never existed.
After the concubines paid their respects and left, Sun Manrou stayed behind on purpose.
"Your Majesty, I have heard rumors in the harem these days and have tried to stop them, but it was useless. Fortunately, the Emperor issued an edict last night and the rumors were finally quelled."
Sun Manrou stayed behind on purpose to test Lin Junxue to see if she had discovered that the rumors in the harem were spread from her.
I felt uneasy.
Lin Junxue took in Sun Manrou's guilty expression and smiled faintly.
She said slowly, "Rumors in the harem are endless. When the emperor found out last night, he got angry and issued an edict."
When Sun Manrou heard that Xie Yu was angry, her face changed slightly and she asked anxiously:
"The Emperor is angry? Then the Empress and the Emperor, are they going to continue to investigate? Where did this rumor come from?"
After saying this, Sun Manrou smiled awkwardly.
"I wonder which concubine in the harem is so evil that she would spread such rumors that harm the queen?"
When Lin Junxue saw that Sun Manrou even scolded herself in order to clear her suspicion, she knew that Sun Manrou must have not slept well last night.
Judging from the bruises under her eyes, the Concubine Chen probably didn’t sleep all night.
Sun Manrou is a very interesting person. She did some bad things and scared herself to death.
Why did she think this guy was kind of cute?
If the targets of palace fighting were people like Sun Manrou who had brains but not much, she wouldn't have to be so tired.
However, Sun Manrou's worries about this matter were unnecessary.
Even if Xie Yu knew about this small mistake, he would only give him a verbal reprimand.
As long as the Sun family behind Sun Manrou does not fall and Sun Manrou does not make a big mistake, she will not lose her position as a concubine.
Therefore, if she continued to care about this little thing, there would be no result in the end, but it was still necessary to give it a try.
Lin Junxue curled her lips and smiled
"Empress Chen, the matter has been settled. The Emperor and I do not want to pursue it any further. As for who spread the rumor? This person must know the truth. I can tolerate her once, but I will not tolerate this person a second time. Don't you agree? Empress Chen?"
No matter how stupid Sun Manrou was, she could hear the warning in Lin Junxue's words and was surprised.
Lin Junxue knew that she was the one who spread the rumor, but she didn't intend to pursue the matter. How could she not be angry at all and talk to her so calmly?
Lin Junxue's indifference made Sun Manrou feel even more uneasy. She was afraid that Lin Junxue had other tricks up his sleeve to deal with her, and she became even more nervous.
Lin Junxue looked at Sun Manrou, who was obviously beginning to feel uneasy, and smiled slightly.
Sometimes, the more tactful the words are, the more afraid the guilty person will be.
When she goes back today, I'm afraid Sun Manrou will have trouble sleeping for some time. This can be considered as a punishment for her.
After Sun Manrou left, Danzhen said, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen really can't keep secrets. The Emperor just issued an edict last night, and today the rumors were quelled, but Concubine Chen couldn't wait to stay alone to test you."
Even Danzhen could see that Sun Manrou was feeling guilty about this matter.
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
"The rumors spread by Concubine Chen are nothing more than dissatisfaction with the emperor's exclusive favor in recent days. This is just a small fight. Concubine Chen's methods are neither clever nor cruel. I don't need to take it to heart for the time being. Even if this matter is over, Concubine Chen will listen to what I said just now. I think she will be quiet for a while."
