If it was purely a close relationship, with one being the beautiful princess and the other being the famous prince of the capital, everyone would probably just laugh it off.
However, one of the main characters, Princess Shu He, had an engagement with General Fu Yunzhen!
The Fu family's reputation in the Tianyun Dynasty was not lower than any other aristocratic family. Many people didn't even know who the current prime minister was or how many dukes there were, but they knew that the Fu family was the war god of the Tianyun Dynasty.
The Fu family had fought off countless foreign enemies for the Tianyun Dynasty. Generation after generation, the Fu family had used countless amounts of blood in exchange for glory. It was an achievement that no one could erase.
This kind of rumor about Fu Yunzhen and Princess Shu He was naturally spread by countless people.
Originally, if it was really just a rumor, Princess Shu He and Fang Mingyu wouldn't have cared, because those who really cared would have investigated it. Rumors couldn't be investigated.
However, it just so happened that the things mentioned in the rumor had actually happened.
The tryst in Ming Yuan Temple, the silk handkerchief and knot that Princess Shu He had secretly embroidered for Fang Mingyu, the jade pendant hanging from Fang Mingyu's waist, all of these things were true.
Princess Shu He panicked. She couldn't have imagined that these things, which were clearly very secretive, would be dug up by others.
Of course, this was due to the system.
When the rumor became more and more intense, it was impossible for the person sitting at the top to pretend not to know.
Princess Shu He was summoned by the Emperor.
But Gu Shengyin knew that this wasn't enough.
As expected, no one knew what Princess Shu He and the Emperor talked about. But the rumors in the capital suddenly disappeared overnight. Princess Shu He also didn't appear in the palace for a long time, but the General's residence still hadn't received the imperial edict to cancel the marriage.
Gu Shengyin received many treasures from the palace. The Emperor's meaning was clear: this was the imperial family's compensation to the Fu family, but the marriage would still go on as before.
Gu Shengyin pinched a pearl the size of a finger and looked at it carefully. She said carelessly, "This Emperor is really generous. Even the palace treasury doesn't have many pearls of this quality."
She said that it was precious, but the expression on her face was somewhat disapproving.
Whenever Gu Shengyin went out these few days, she would always encounter some pitiful gazes. Gu Shengyin did not need to look to know what those gazes meant.
She was just pitying him. He wasn't even married yet, but he was already wearing such a big green hat on his head. Moreover, that hat couldn't be removed.
The more Gu Shengyin pretended to be indifferent on the surface, the more others thought that he was just pretending to be calm. Who knew how sad he was in private.
After all, in all these years, no one had ever heard of any rumors about General Fu being a womanizer, nor had they heard of him having any female confidantes. Most people thought that he respected and loved his fiancée, Princess Shu He. They never thought that he would encounter such a situation.
Even the Emperor specially summoned him to speak for a while. "Yunzhen, I know that this matter has wronged you. I promise that this kind of thing won't happen again. I have already fiercely ordered Shu He to reflect. She has always been respectful and careful. It is normal for her to be blinded by others."
In one sentence, he removed Princess Shu He from the picture and pushed all the blame onto the Zhu Guo Shizi.
