Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

"Prime Minister Xia, I have complete trust in you. But you still need an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, I have no choice but to temporarily seal off the Prime Minister's Mansion until the truth is revealed..."

Zhou Yan seemed to be in a difficult situation.

"Your Majesty, I do have more than this amount of silver, mainly because I donated most of it to disaster victims and frontier soldiers."

Xia Fuzhan's words left Zhou Yan completely stunned.

The people around suddenly became quiet.

Cui Hong sneered.

"Prime Minister Xia, your excuse is really unbelievable. You will donate money to the soldiers on the frontier? I don't think I have ever heard of it..."

"I can prove it to Prime Minister Xia!"

Before Cui Hong finished speaking, Yuan Qi stood up.

"Not only can I attest to this, but the generals and soldiers who followed me back to the capital can all attest to this. When food and fodder were scarce, it was thanks to Prime Minister Xia that the food and fodder he sent solved the immediate needs of the military camp. I am deeply grateful, and the first thing I did upon returning to the capital was to come to the Prime Minister's residence to express my gratitude."

At this point, Yuan Qi added another explanation.

"Prime Minister Xia forbad me to speak of this. He said he only wanted to do good things and didn't want to make a big deal about it. So I didn't make this public."

Yuan Qi's words were like a stone thrown into calm water, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Oh my god, is this true? Prime Minister Xia secretly donated food and fodder to the border soldiers?!"

"General Yuan said it himself, how could it be false? I just can't believe the Prime Minister sees it this way... He's actually a good person."

"I still don't quite believe it... The Xia family has always been arrogant and domineering, looking down on ordinary people. How could they possibly donate food and fodder to the soldiers on the border?"

Someone suddenly said,

"Actually, I've already said that when Yongzhou was hit by a flood, Xia Shaoche personally delivered food and medicine to the victims, but none of you believed me. How bad could the Xia family be..."

Someone followed up, "I also saw Xia Shaoche giving porridge to the disaster victims. At that time, everyone scolded him for putting on a show, but I feel that even though he was putting on a show, he was actually saving those disaster victims..."

Someone followed closely and said,

"Actually, I also want to say that the grain seeds cultivated by Xia Shaoze, the third son of the Xia family, have solved the problem of grain production in many areas. And the seeds are sold to farmers at the lowest price... It seems that his family is not as bad as the rumors say."

"Fuck, so from this perspective, Xia Fuzhan's family is not only not treacherous, but also kind people!"

"Indeed, to be honest, even if the Xia family is really corrupt, I now think they are a good family... After all, they donated money, which can be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor..."

"Then why did they say his family was a traitor? They didn't collaborate with the enemy, nor were they corrupt. They even donated grain and alms..."

"Yes, he seemed a bit overbearing, but he certainly didn't do anything evil like robbing women. How could he be called a traitor?"

The onlookers were all suddenly aware of it, as if they didn't know that he had become a traitor from that day on.

But if you were to say the Xia family had done anything truly bad, it wouldn't seem like they had done anything particularly bad...they were just a bit arrogant.

One search instantly reversed the Xia family's reputation as a traitor.

The people who were cursing outside just now shut up.

Cui Hong was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.

what's the situation?

Xia Fuzhan is not only not a traitor, but also a good man?

Zhou Yan also looked completely incredulous.

Suddenly I remembered that there seemed to be news of food shortage at the border before.

It was just that the matter was delayed because the national treasury was short of money. Later, he forgot about it and it seemed to be left unresolved.

I didn't expect that it was Xia Fuzhan who sent the food...

It seems that he has really had evil ambitions for a long time!

Zhou Yan's face was very gloomy. He suppressed the anger in his chest and forced a smile.

"Since there is no evidence of treason and no evidence of corruption, I am also very relieved."

"I have come here to prove the Prime Minister's innocence. No one should spread rumors or cause trouble in the future. I have also prepared a small gift for Madam Liu's birthday. I will not bother you any further."

Zhou Yan came in a hurry and left in shame.

.......

Cui Hongben also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but was stopped by Xia Fuzhan.

"Could it be that Minister Cui has forgotten something..."

......

A moment later, there was a crackling sound of beating boards, wailing, and the sound of Zuo Dashi muttering while writing furiously.

On July 20th of the Gengyou year, Cui Hong, the Vice Minister of Justice, was caned for slandering the Prime Minister. Onlookers were observing his buttocks. They all said that although his face was dark, his buttocks were white, indicating a good buttocks. (Note: I do not agree. I think that although his buttocks were white, they were not perky enough, but rather too flat, perhaps due to kidney deficiency.)

You are the one with kidney deficiency!

Your whole family has kidney deficiency!

This made Cui Hong's eyes darken, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone...

......

"General Yuan, thank you very much."

Xia Xizhi waited in the corner for Yuan Qi to come over and thank him.

They didn't expect Yuan Qi to stand up and speak for her family. They had prepared other countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, please do not be so polite. This is what I should do. Prime Minister Xia's food and fodder are like timely help. I and my soldiers are deeply grateful."

Xia Xizhi nodded.

"The soldiers have sacrificed their lives to protect us. Without you, there would be no peace and happiness in the Imperial City. The Xia family can only do this little bit to help the soldiers on the frontier."

Yuan Qi paused, and looked at Xia Xizhi with a sparkling look in his eyes.

This was the first time he heard a woman say this since he returned to the imperial city.

The pampered young ladies in the imperial city all look down on them, the military generals. Of course, he doesn't mind. It's normal for the pampered young ladies to look down on them.

Unexpectedly, the most spoiled eldest daughter in the imperial city's legend could praise their generals.

How on earth had she managed to get to the border to rescue them, and why had she saved him of all people...

Yuan Qi wanted to ask, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

.......

When Xia Xizhi turned around to leave, he suddenly called her,

"Miss!"

Xia Xizhi paused, looked back in confusion,

"General, is there anything else?"

"......It's okay, take care, my queen."

Yuan Qi didn't ask in the end, because he thought of the person who almost beat him to death that night...

Xia Xizhi tilted his head and smiled.

"Okay, take care too, General Yuan."

......

Not far away, Cui Xuewei, who had been staring at Yuan Qi, suddenly became gloomy after seeing the interaction between the two.

No wonder Xia Xizhi was unwilling to grant her marriage, it turned out that she had been having an affair with Yuan Qi for a long time!

No wonder she went to the border to rescue him!

No wonder she doesn't care about her entering the palace!

It seems that it is impossible for her to marry Yuan Qi, and she will definitely be sent to the palace by her father.

But as a modern person, she cannot accept being a concubine to a man. Even a concubine is still a concubine...

Cui Xuewei stared at Xia Xizhi's back for a moment, and then sneered.

How could she forget.

The mask was still in her hand.

If the emperor were to investigate, he would surely find out that it was hers...

Since she has this handle in her hand, why doesn't she tell Zhou Yan?

If Zhou Yan knew that she was having an affair and might even be a demon, she would be finished.

If there is no queen in the harem, then she will become the next queen...
