The secret guard was in charge of protecting Bai Zhi’s safety and passing on news, and generally would not eavesdrop on what Bai Zhi said in daily life, but he still asked Eunuch Fu: “Did you know what she said?”

Eunuch Fu shook his head, with a smile on his face, and creases at the corners of his eyes: “If the emperor wants to know, just go there.”

Chu Yan also thought about it, but what should he do with the mountains of folding booklets in front of him?

Eunuch Fu said: “Actually when Miss Bai accompanied the emperor back to the palace last time, she said something to this old slave. But when this old slave got busy, he forgot about it. This slave suddenly remembers it.”

“Oh? What did she say?” He looked interested, and Eunuch Fu always had a smile on his face. It must be something good.

Eunuch Fu glanced at the booklet on the imperial table, and said: “Miss Bai told this old slave a way to help His Majesty relieve his fatigue.”

“Tell me!” Chu Yan turned around excitedly, staring at Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu said: “Miss Bai said that the emperor should choose some trustworthy attendants in the study, let them read the booklet first, and classify them according to their priorities and detailed needs. Maybe some of them don’t need his highness to bother to read, while some may need you to read them yourself. After sorting it out, this slave will present them accordingly.”

Chu Yan nodded: “This method is good. My father used it before, but he also found some disadvantages and then abandoned it again. But now that I think about it, if I cut out the disadvantages and refine it, it may not be impossible. ”

Thinking of this, Chu Yan had a lot of new ideas. Like a blank page, after being drawn a few strokes by someone, looking at the random strokes, a lot of inspiration suddenly came. As if they could create a masterpiece. He immediately fell into a good mood.

Who knows if someone was deliberately spreading the word in secret? Within three days, all the streets and alleys in the capital know a secret.

Miss Bai Zhi, who has been engaged to the current emperor for seventeen years, has lived abroad for three years, and no one knows about her encounters. After returning, she entangled with Young Master Meng.

This kind of secret was the fastest to spread, especially those gossips in the back house, who like to inquire about gossip in this area. And when they spread the word, they always like to exaggerate what they heard earlier, and once they spread to ten people, the ten spread to a hundred. After that, the original secret rumor spread through the mouths of a hundred people, and the content will change.

Like, Miss Bai Zhi was already married overseas, and because of the poor life overseas, she came back with the merchant ship of Chu State and abandoned her husband and son there.

It was also rumored that Bai Zhi and Young Master Meng were good friends when they were in Qingyuan Town, and because of the current emperor’s intrusion, he had to marry Princess Yiping. But he and Bai Zhi kept a close relationship.

Some people also said that they saw her drinking with Young Master Meng at night, and their behavior was extremely intimate as if they were newlyweds.

These rumors were spread with nose and eyes, as if everyone saw Bai Zhi’s husband and son overseas, and saw Bai Zhi having an affair with Meng Nan with their own eyes.

Hu Changlin was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. Since he heard this news, he didn’t dare to let Zhao Lan go out, and he also strictly ordered the servants in the mansion not to say anything in front of the mother and daughter.

But in this world, was there an impenetrable wall?

After Xiao Qing became acquainted with the maids in the mansion, she likes to talk to them, she overheard a few sentences, and after further questioning, it became clear.

She thought that Bai Zhi would jump in anger when she heard the rumors and would smash things angrily to vent her anger. She was even ready to put away those precious ornaments.
