The beautiful figure, wearing a curtain hat, disappeared at the entrance of the corridor after a while. He was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing. What happened to him?

In the next few days, he went in and out of the bookstore as usual, but he heard a group of scholars debating the theory of emperors.

He joined in unconsciously, only to hear one of them ask, "Your Majesty is kind and generous, and has donated money to relieve the floods in the south. I don't know your fate and say that your Majesty is tyrannical."

The other one spoke passionately, "If this is the case, Wang Zhou of Yuanzhou is a generous man. Why did His Majesty order his beheading when he disagreed with him? Is it because he was afraid that Wang Zhou would outperform his master with his merits?"

Xie Chongguang frowned slightly, but he also knew that the scholar only knew one thing but not the other, which was why he was so angry. He opened his mouth to refute, but heard a soft female voice.

"The king of Yuanzhou, the Chief, robbed the daughters of the people, killed the children, and forced the people of Yuanzhou to praise his good name. His Majesty sent people to investigate and found that what he did was all in vain and was full of evil, so he sent people to behead him according to the imperial decree." 1

A woman wearing a curtain hat came from a high building, curling up like smoke.

When the scholar heard this, his cheeks turned red, "What does a woman know?"

"I am not talented, and I don't know much, but because my husband is the imperial envoy from Yuanzhou, I have heard a little bit about Wang Zhouchang." She continued to speak unhurriedly, not at all annoyed by the scholar's remarks.

"Imperial envoy from Yuanzhou, my wife is Master Chang's wife, Meng's Fangyan." A scholar blurted out after hearing this.

Nowadays, women are not as severely constrained as in ancient times. For example, Meng Fangyan often argued with a group of scholars at this time, so no one said that she did not abide by women's virtues.

When he heard her name, he immediately understood, "It's Mrs. Chang. I'm sorry." Someone quickly bowed and apologized.

The scholar just now has long since hidden somewhere?

"It's okay, Zuo Bu has heard. We can't let all the students in the world misunderstand His Majesty's profound meaning." She gave a light salute, "In that case, I will take my leave. Please be patient."

She nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked away, leaving only admiration behind her.

Xie Chongguang's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked seemingly unintentionally, "Does that lady have a great reputation?"

A scholar smiled and said, "I'm afraid I just came to Kyoto, but everyone knows that the Meng family is famous for its beauty and talents. They don't admire power, but only talent, so they married Mr. Chang as his wife. From then on, the husband followed the wife, creating a good story. I think back then,

But it hurt so many people’s hearts.”

Xie Chongguang smiled and bowed, "Thank you so much for clearing up this elegant scholar."

Meng Fangyan got on the carriage, her expression became more thoughtful. If she guessed correctly, that person was Xie Chongguang, a very handsome young man. It was a pity that he was in the Xie family.

She tapped her chin with her finger, her eyes showing a bit of coolness.

——

Xie Zhao received a letter from home and found out that her father and brother were not urging her to become the emperor. Although she was relieved, she felt a little more anxious.

The more tolerant the family is, the more she wants to do something quickly.

"What is Xibi doing now?" she asked Jade.

Jade lowered her eyebrows and said, "The day before yesterday, I sent a cup of soup to the royal study. Your Majesty accepted it, but you didn't allow it to go to her palace."

Xie Zhao's lips curled up, "She acted quickly. My younger brother has entered the capital now. Please pay more attention if nothing happens."

"Don't worry, Madam, I always have letters to send." Feicui made tea for her, her tone respectful.
