Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

That night, a shocking piece of gossip about the Huaibei royal family spread in the capital.

On the second day, Xie Yu learned that Chi Ji was unconscious, so he left the palace and hurried to the Xingyuan.

"What's going on? When will he wake up?"

In the room, seeing Chi Ji's pale face, Xie Yu angrily asked the imperial physician beside him.

The doctor knelt down and explained, "Your Majesty, Sir Chi took three bowls of blood yesterday and was in critical condition. I tried my best to save him, but Sir Chi lost too much blood and his body functions went wrong, so he fell into a coma. His condition has only stabilized now, and he should wake up in three or four days."

Hearing this, Xie Yu became even more angry. She didn't have any hostages, so what could she use to exchange Feng Yang Yu with Xie Jin?

Chi Ji has been in a coma for such a long time and cannot do anything for her. What if Xie Jin brings Feng Yangyu to expose what she did in the next few days? Wouldn’t she be completely hopeless then?

Xie Yu looked anxious and kept walking around the room thinking of a solution.

Seeing how nervous she was, Fan Yueting thought she was worried about Chi Ji and blamed herself:

"Mother, this is my fault. I was careless and fell into Feng Qingluan's trap, causing Xiaotian to be poisoned by her. Lord Chi was injured like this in order to protect me. Everything was caused by Feng Qingluan. I am also at fault. Please punish me, mother!"

Xie Yu said: "This is what Chi Ji should do, you don't have to blame yourself."

Fan Yueting is still upset:

"Mother, Feng Qingluan almost caused us to lose Lord Chi this time. She also played tricks on me and caused a rift between my brother and you. You must find a way to get rid of that woman. If we let her continue, I don't know what kind of harm she will bring to us."

In Fan Yueting's view, Feng Qingluan was like a flea, biting her and making her feel itchy and anxious. She could not calm down unless she killed her with one palm.

Xie Yu said angrily, "Has mother ever wanted to get rid of her? You've seen how we failed time and again. Feng Qingluan and Prince Rong are not so easy to deal with. Now that Chi Ji is in a coma, don't provoke Feng Qingluan recently. Stay in Xingyuan."

She asked someone to take good care of Chi Ji and prepared to leave.

Before I even stepped out of the door, a servant ran in in a panic:

"My Queen, this is bad..."

He looked terrified. Xie Yu said:

"What happened."

The servant stammered:

"Replying to the Queen Mother, rumors suddenly broke out in the capital this morning, and the people were scrambling to discuss it, saying, saying..."

He hesitated, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Fan Yueting said impatiently: "What are you talking about? Answer quickly."

The servant looked at her and said boldly:

"The people of the capital city spread the news from somewhere that the princess is the daughter of Lord Chi, and Lord Chi cut three bowls of blood to save the princess..."

"absurd!"

After hearing the beginning, Xie Yu burst into anger.

Except for Fan Yueting, everyone in the room was so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Xie Yu frowned and glared: "What else did you say?"

The servant was almost frightened and scolded, and he quickly said:

"They said that the late emperor died early, and the Queen Mother relied on Lord Chi for help in Huaibei. If it weren't for him, the Queen Mother would not have been able to secure the throne. They said Lord Chi was devoted to being the Queen Mother because the Queen Mother had an affair with Lord Chi and gave birth to a princess. He saved the princess and was saving his own daughter."

After saying the last word, the servant felt as if his soul had floated out of his body. He couldn't imagine what kind of wrath the Queen Mother would have to endure next.

Xie Yu's face was terribly gloomy: "Have you found out who is spreading it?"

The servant said tremblingly:

"I don't know. This incident was too shocking. Not only were the common people spreading the news, but even many storytellers exaggerated it. The rumors became more and more intense, and the impact was huge."

Fan Yueting was also shocked by the content of the rumors.

The queen mother had an affair with Chi Ji and gave birth to her?

What is this sensational thing?

Because she was too angry, Fan Yueting's voice trembled:

"Slander! Libel! Mother, this is definitely a rumor spread by Feng Qingluan. You asked Uncle Emperor to capture her and cut her into pieces. This is so infuriating!"

She is the Princess of Huaibei, how could she be the daughter of a minister?

It is even more impossible for the Queen Mother to have anything with Chi Ji!

Xie Yu quickly calmed down after a brief shock.

This incident came too suddenly, and there is no doubt that the news was released by Feng Qingluan.

But she had no evidence, so there was no reason for the emperor to arrest Feng Qingluan.

What concerned her more was that Chi Ji had cut his blood yesterday. Could Feng Qingluan judge the relationship between Chi Ji and Yue Ting based on this alone?

She didn't believe that Feng Qingluan must have made other discoveries to connect the two as father and daughter.

She had to think carefully. Maybe Feng Qingluan really had some evidence in her hands. This matter was of great importance, so she couldn't act impulsively.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yu said:

"The rumor is completely false. Someone is deliberately using public opinion to slander the Huaibei royal family. Today, everyone should pretend that they have not heard the news. Do what you should do and pretend that it never happened."

The more she cares about explaining, the more she will fall into self-incrimination. Feng Qingluan released the news, trying to restrain her with public opinion. If she doesn't accept it, let's see what she will do.

However, this matter would still cause her considerable trouble in the court and with Emperor Xia Ming.

Xie Yu sighed, and had to say that Feng Qingluan had used this trick to divert Chi Ji's attention while she was unconscious, which was a very clever move.

Xie Yu planned to return to the palace now, but the situation outside was at its peak, so she stayed in the Xingyuan until night before returning to the palace.

Emperor Xia Ming learned about the rumors in the capital that Xie Yu was invited to the Yangxin Palace as soon as she arrived at the palace. Xie Yu explained the situation and Emperor Xia Ming believed her and let her go.

Although this was the case on the surface, Emperor Xia Ming had doubts about this matter in his heart.

There is no such thing as a rumor without foundation.

His eldest sister dared to give birth to a son to replace his crown prince before going to Huaibei for marriage. She was so bold and presumptuous that she could win over a few advisers to help her do things in order to fight for power and control the royal family in Huaibei. It was not impossible.

Emperor Xia Ming believed the rumors from outside.

He stroked the jade ring on his thumb. He knew everything that had happened between Xie Yu and Feng Qingluan recently.

These two people were really difficult to deal with, and Xie Yu didn't gain any advantage in his confrontation with them.

Now Feng Qingluan has made Chi Ji half dead, and also released such a big scandal to restrain Xie Yu.

Without Chi Ji, Xie Yu was like a tiger without its claws. He could no longer stand idly by.

Xie Yu was defeated by those two people, and the next one to be dealt with would be him!

He has to do something!
