Chapter 132: The Tell Outside The Door

Zhao Zimu's memorial was not approved, so, she could only put her focus on the grassland. Soon, a large number of spies were dressed up as merchants, shepherds and all kinds of other people flocked to the grassland like bees, made their way into various tribes on the grassland and become close to their leaders. They incited disharmony, drove a wedge between allies, roped in and suppressed people. They used every possible way. For a moment, the whole grassland was bubbling with an undercurrent.

And three months later, many unfavorable rumors were spread in the capital with regards to the crown prince. The rumors were about ganging up for personal interest, cultivating assistants, being narrow-minded and for causing an internecine strife. Many rumors that were not beneficial to Situ Yaohua were widely spread in the great streets and small alleys of the capital. The ambiance of the capital suddenly became weird.

If no one incited it, usually no one would make an incident out of this because this kind of fights were approved by the officials' hidebound by convention. They have long become numb to this kind of fights openly and maneuver covertly. They wouldn't put these kinds of things in their eyes. However, once someone put these in the open, it would be different.

Being accustomed to the ugliness, if it was put in the sun, one would get sunburned. Therefore, at the beginning Situ Yaohua was really caught off guard. Not only was he fiercely accused by those imperial censors who liked to think of themselves as high and pure, he was also reprimanded sternly by emperor Jinghui.

There was nothing wrong for a crown prince as an heir apparent to establish prestige and cultivate a group of his own people. This was originally acquiesced by the emperor in order for his successor to be able to sit more stable on the throne. However, the emperor's heart was hard to fathom. Perhaps, emperor Jinghui would allow Situ Yaohua to breed his own influence, but once it exceeded the degree he acquiesced to or it threatened his position, then, he would for sure cut off his threat without hesitation.

Emperor Jinghui only reprimanded Situ Yaohua now and it could be said that he gave Situ Yaohua a beating. This was still light. It showed that emperor Jinghui didn't take this matter seriously, but it didn't achieve Lin Qing's goal being like this.

In the Taiye Pool, Lin Qing looked at emperor Jinghui and his beauty grasping for air and enjoying themselves in the pool. He couldn't help but be a bit dazed. After emperor Jinghui came out of the pool, Lin Qing quickly wrapped him in a clean silk cloth and asked casually, "Your Majesty, look at you. You just don't care about your body. Can these beauties be more important than yourself? Your Majesty can't go on like this anymore. This servant will feel heartache."

Lin Qing said that in a worried and distressed tone. Emperor Jinghui laughed. Lin Qing was already an old man who had followed him. So, he didn't punish him for reprimanding him in a tone that was caring.

Emperor Jinghui allowed a small eunuch to wipe the water droplets from his body and said indifferently, "Beloved subject doesn't need to worry. Isn't zhen's body being taken care off by the imperial physicians? Besides, it was still tolerable to not eat meat and wine for a day, but to let zhen not touch a beauty for a day, zhen wouldn't be able to stand it! Beloved subject, you are different. You will not understand this kind of fun!"

As he spoke, he burst into laughter. It was just that emperor Jinghui's plump body almost fell to one side. Lin Qing quickly supported him and hurriedly put him on a chair with a few small eunuchs. At the same time, he shouted anxiously for the imperial physician.

"Beloved subject! Let it be." Emperor Jinghui waved wearily with his hand and then said, "Old illness. From time to time, it will cause zhen to get dizzy. It doesn't matter. No need to call for the imperial physician."
