Those people are so bad, they actually slandered the princess and General Xie so much! It is impossible for the prince to divorce the princess, and General Xie has never curried favor with His Highness Prince Han!
Wu Peiya bumped Zi Qing hard and signaled Zi Qing with her eyes to stop talking.
Ziqing understood and quickly shut up.
However, Xie Yao's expression condensed and she ordered in a deep voice, "Zi Qing, ask Shan Quan to prepare the carriage. I want to go back to Pingdong Hou Mansion!"
She was immune to rumors, but she had to go back to Prince Pingdong's Mansion to have a look before she could rest assured.
"Yes." Ziqing went to do it immediately.
Wu Peiya saw the urgency in Xie Yao's eyes and immediately stepped forward to comfort her, "Princess, don't worry, the rumor spread yesterday. I heard it accidentally and rushed back immediately. But when I encountered the incident between the princess and the prince, I didn't
Mention the rumors."
"General Xie should have known about the rumors yesterday. Since there is no news now, it proves that General Xie is fine."
Xie Yao turned around and went to the desk, "Grind the ink for me."
Wu Peiya immediately went over to polish her ink. When she saw the princess writing the word "自" with her pen, she said anxiously: "Princess, once the matter of self-resignation is put on paper, there will be no room for reversal. The princess must think twice!"
Xie Yao kept writing and finished the invitation letter in one breath. She folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to Wu Peiya, "The prince should be in Chaoyang Palace at the moment. You can send it there now and come back as soon as possible. Let's go to Ping An together."
Donghou Mansion."
Wu Peiya took it. Although the letter was so light and almost weightless, she felt heavy while holding it, "Princess..."
"No need to say anything, just send it directly." Xie Yao turned around and entered the inner room.
At this time, Ziqing came back, saw Wu Peiya holding an envelope in her hand, and asked casually, "Has someone sent another letter to the princess?"
When the prince came yesterday, she happened to go to make tea. She only knew that the prince had come, but she did not know what the prince and princess said.
Wu Peiya's expression was heavy, "This is the princess's letter of invitation."
Zi Qing was instantly startled, "Whose is it?"
Wu Peiya was surprised by Yu Ziqing's surprise and subconsciously said: "Don't you know?"
Immediately he realized that he had let something slip, and immediately ran out with the envelope.
Ziqing came to her senses and immediately ran into the inner room with a nervous expression, "Princess, you..."
"I have made up my mind about asking myself to resign, so please stop trying to persuade me! Help me change my clothes, I want to rush to the Pingdong Marquis Mansion as soon as possible." Xie Yao's expression was serious, even with a bit of momentum.
Coercion.
"...Yes, Princess." Ziqing hesitated for a moment, looked at the Princess's resolute face, and gave up her plan to persuade her.
Wu Peiya rushed to Chaoyang Hall. The servant outside Chaoyang Hall handed the envelope in and turned around and left.
Chu Han stayed up all night in the study and had just returned to Chaoyang Palace, looking haggard and his eyes were red.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by the Princess." The servant bowed.
"Put it down." When Chu Han heard the word 'Princess', the image of Xie Yao yesterday when he said 'I invite myself to come down' appeared in front of his eyes, and his red eyes suddenly darkened.
"Yes." The servant put the envelope on the table and immediately left.
Chu Han stood in front of the table, staring at the envelope with red eyes for a long time, and finally opened it and took a look.
Before he could finish reading it, he suddenly became furious, his originally red eyes turned blood red, and he tore the letter in his hand into pieces!
The intimidating aura around him suddenly burst out, like a furious lion!
"Come here!" he shouted angrily.
"My servant is here." The servant didn't know why the prince was angry. He was so frightened that he rolled in and crawled in, his voice trembling.
"Where is the princess?"
"I don't know, I guess. It should be at Fuyunxuan."
Chu Han suddenly stood up and strode outside.
But halfway through, he stood still. After a moment of silence, he sat back and asked, "Who was the messenger and what did he say?"
"The person delivering the letter is a new woman who is with the princess. I remember her surname is Wu. She said it was not convenient to enter the Chaoyang Palace and asked me to deliver the letter to you. She also said that the princess has to go to the Pingdong Marquis Mansion." The servant said,
Try your best to remember.
"When the princess comes back, bring her to see the king, and then step back." Chu Han ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will resign."
…
After Wu Peiya returned to Fuyunxuan, Xie Yao didn't ask anything, just took Wu Peiya and Ziqing into the carriage and left Prince Han's Mansion.
The sun was rising, it was just past breakfast time, and the streets were already starting to get lively.
The carriage moved through the crowd at a slow speed, so the voices of the people around it could be heard clearly inside the carriage.
"Have you heard that I am grateful to the old general for actually taking the initiative to curry favor with His Highness King Han! This is so embarrassing!"
"It's nothing to be embarrassed, it's better than losing your life! The Pingdong Hou Mansion is in such a state of ruin. If you don't find someone to curry favor with you, it will be completely over!"
"That's also because the emperor granted Princess Minghui a marriage to His Highness Prince Han. If General Xie doesn't curry favor with Prince Han, once Princess Minghui becomes the royal concubine and divorces Xie Yao, if he tries to curry favor with Prince Han again, Prince Han will probably not even bother with him.
Already."
"Finally, someone can push Xie Yao out of the position of Princess Han! When she married His Highness, Prince Han, she did it through tricks! She deserves to be divorced now!"
"There is no good person in the Xie family, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people making trouble at the funeral!"
On the carriage, Zi Qing clenched her fists angrily and was about to go down to argue with them. Wu Peiya also had a cold look on her face, with fire in her eyes.
The rumors are even more extreme than yesterday!
"Don't pay attention to them." Xie Yao said expressionlessly to stop them.
"Princess, they are going too far! I have never heard anything so...so explicit!" Zi Qing said angrily.
"That's true! The more they spread the word, the more they go too far. If they don't stop it as soon as possible, they will only become more bottomless and shameless!" Wu Peiya was also very dissatisfied.
Xie Yao just waved her hands and then closed her eyes.
If you want to stop the public from talking about Youyou, you must solve the problem at its root. Simply standing in the way will only make the rumors worse.
Ziqing and Wu Peiya were very reluctant, but they could only stay on the carriage.
At this moment, an accusing voice suddenly appeared, which was completely contrary to those rumors, "You are all talking nonsense! Princess Han is not as unbearable as you say! Old General Xie will not even try to curry favor with His Highness King Han! You are
You are deceiving the public with your lies!"
When Ziqing and Wu Peiya heard this, they all looked happy, someone finally spoke for the princess!
Xie Yao's eyebrows moved and she recognized Liang Zhixian's voice. She paused and ordered the driver, "Stop!"
The carriage slowly stopped.
Outside, those people who were spreading rumors unscrupulously, when they heard someone refuting, they thought they were people from Prince Han's Mansion, and they were so frightened that they all stopped talking!
