Two days later, when they went to court again, everyone's faces were full of spirit.
Everyone exchanged glances. "Have you heard?" "You heard it too!" "Is it true?" "It shouldn't be false." "Who would dare to talk about this? Besides, it was Mr. Qin who said it."
Everyone turned to look at Qin Chuan again.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Chuan's face darkened when everyone looked at him. He cursed in his heart. How did the news spread so fast? He mustn't let His Majesty know that he was the one who spread the news.
Tong Zhenye of the Ministry of Works: "You have an opinion?"
Ministry of Revenue Tu Wan sneered. "Lord Qin!"
The Minister of Justice squinted at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The Minister of Rites raised his head and pointed his nose at Qin Chuan.
The other officials glanced at Qin Chuan, then raised their heads to look at the sky.
Although Qin Chuan was the Minister of War and was highly skilled, everyone present was a Cardinal Heaven expert. If they were to really fight, other than the empress, Hong Wu, and Xi Wanya, the rest of them might not necessarily be afraid of anyone.
Qin Chuan cursed in his heart. This sentence was like poking a hornet's nest. If he continued to speak, he would probably be surrounded and kicked. He turned his head away from the crowd.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.
"Haha!" A sneer reached his ears. He didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Tong Zhenye, that old man.
After the empress arrived, everyone looked at her strangely from time to time.
"What? What happened? "the empress asked coldly. She felt that the atmosphere in the imperial court today was a little strange.
"I'm fine! The country is prosperous and the people are at peace. Everything is great, "Shi Qing said.
"No one has anything to report?" the empress asked again.
"No!"
"Then why are you all looking at me?"
Everyone lowered their heads to look for ants on the ground.
"Raise your heads!" the empress said coldly. "What exactly happened? Or can't you tell me? "
"Your Majesty, it's really nothing," everyone said.
What could possibly happen? For the past two days, rumors had been flying everywhere. Everyone was gossiping.
However, could he tell the empress about the contents of the gossip? What should he say about this?
"Since there's nothing else, all of you may leave," the empress said.
"Your Majesty!" Zhe Kouhai spoke.
The moment this Junior Elder, who had been well-behaved for the past year, spoke, everyone turned to look at him. Qin Chuan's heart was in his throat.
"Junior Elder, please speak." Seeing that Zhe Kouhai had spoken, the empress's expression softened a little.
"I feel that since Principal Ren and Her Majesty haven't gotten married yet, it isn't appropriate for you to stay in the palace. Why don't you grant Principal Ren a temporary residence?" Zhe Kouhai suggested.
"What's wrong with it?" the empress asked.
"It's inappropriate!" Zhe Kouhai lowered his head.
"Where's the gift? The aboriginals have never had such etiquette. Could it be that you are using the etiquette of Great Xia to request me? "the empress said coldly.
Zhe Kouhai broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. "I wouldn't dare."
It was true that the aboriginals did not forbid living together before marriage. However, Her Majesty was the current emperor, so it was easy for others to gossip about her. Seeing the empress's attitude, everyone swallowed their words.
"Who are you to question my private affairs? If there's nothing else, all of you can leave, "the empress said impatiently.
After everyone left, the empress returned to her quarters and called Xin Zhe over. "Go and investigate. During the court session today, I saw that they were behaving strangely. Are they hiding something from me?" the empress said.
"Yes." Xin Zhe immediately accepted the order and left.
Four hours later, Xin Zhe returned again. After listening to her story, the empress's face immediately turned black. No wonder everyone was behaving strangely today. No wonder Zhe Kouhai said those words.
Damn that Qin Chuan!
Immediately, she appeared in the sky above the Ministry of War in a few flashes. Her cold voice that was filled with anger reverberated throughout half of Lan City like a clap of thunder. "Qin Chuan, you ignorant old man, come out now!"
When Qin Chuan came out, the empress didn't say a word and slapped him with her palm. The air rippled as if a huge transparent palm print had appeared.
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Qin Chuan broke into a run and asked, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
"How dare you run!" The empress was furious. She nailed Qin Chuan into the ground with one palm strike, pulled him out by his scalp, and kicked him, collapsing six or seven buildings in a row.
"Someone, tie him up!" the empress said angrily.
"Your Majesty, what did Sir Qin do wrong?" the officer from the Ministry of War quickly asked.
"Spreading rumors!" The empress's face was unsightly.
When everyone heard this, they gave Qin Chuan a look of condolence. You've been exposed.
"Your Majesty, how do you want to punish Sir Qin?" Tong Zhenye rushed over from the Ministry of Works and asked softly.
The empress said hatefully, "Hang him on the palace gate!"
If the punishment was too heavy, Tong Zhenye might have stopped her. However, after hearing this punishment, he immediately went to take pleasure in Qin Chuan's misfortune and personally tied him up. While tying him up, he said, "Sir Qin, this mouth of yours … serves you right! You even dare to talk about Her Majesty's private affairs. You are too daring. Who asked you to watch your mouth? Hang him on the city gate for three to five days, ten to fifteen days, and wake up. "
Qin Chuan glared at Tong Zhenye with a bloody nose and swollen face.
The empress's face turned black again. Just now, she said that Qin Chuan spread rumors, but when it came to Tong Zhenye, it became his private affairs. Those who didn't know better would think that what Qin Chuan said was true, and she flew into a rage out of humiliation.
After kicking Qin Chuan to the wall, the empress said fiercely, "Someone, hang Qin Chuan on the palace gate. No one is allowed to let him down unless I say so."
After finishing her sentence, she stomped her feet and disappeared. She still felt angry when she returned to the palace.
No matter who it was, they wouldn't be in a good mood after being criticized for no reason. Furthermore, Qin Chuan was a blabbermouth that spread everywhere.
Not long after, Ren Baqian returned to the palace after school. He saw Qin Chuan hanging on the city gate with Tong Zhenye and a few people from the Ministry of Works watching.
He immediately laughed and asked, "How did Sir Qin anger Her Majesty this time?"
Tong Zhenye looked at Ren Baqian strangely and said, "Sir Qin's behavior has something to do with Sir Ren."
Ren Baqian immediately felt strange and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"
Tong Zhenye smiled ambiguously and said, "Sir Qin spread the matter between you and Her Majesty everywhere, which angered Her Majesty. After all, it's between you and Her Majesty. Do you think it has anything to do with you? "
Ren Baqian felt even more strange. The matter between him and Her Majesty had been spread for a year. What else could it be?
Tong Zhenye immediately made a gesture. "Have a son soon!"
Ren Baqian heard this and laughed mischievously. Soon after, he realized that something was amiss. How did Qin Chuan know? What did he spread to the outside world?
After thinking it through, Ren Baqian immediately spat and said, "Serves him right."
Tong Zhenye deeply agreed with him.
Ren Baqian didn't even look at Qin Chuan and entered the palace. When he returned and saw the empress, he acted as if he didn't know anything. This was to prevent the empress from venting her anger on him.
When the empress saw that Ren Baqian acted as if nothing had happened, she became even angrier, but it couldn't be seen on her face.
After lunch, the empress said, "I will give you an hour to rest. Today's training will be doubled!"
Ren Baqian was dumbfounded and asked, "Your Majesty?"
