　　Xie Fu supported his head with one hand, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the people below reporting the news they had learned.

　　Xie Fu knew about the rumor when it first came out. After a little investigation, the person behind the scenes had the result. It was not much different from what he expected. The clan took the lead and several ministers were behind the scenes.

　　What surprised him was that the troublemakers were all humble people.

　　His status is not particularly high, and he usually does not attract attention.

　　Those who really have power and status do nothing.

　　Xie Fu understood it after thinking about it carefully.

　　No one who can reach the top position under him would dare to do such an obvious trick and pull the hair out of a tiger's head even though they know exactly what kind of person Xie Fu is.

　　The king of An and Wei, who originally jumped the highest in the clan, did not dare to take any action because he had been beaten. Only those who felt that they had a chance wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the eyesore Xiao Qi and frame the blame on An. King Wei, kills two birds with one stone.

　　The people below finished their reports and waited for Xie Fu's next instructions.

　　Xie Fu tapped his knuckles on the table a few times before he muttered: "Don't worry about these rumors for the time being. Let's observe who else is behind and present them all."

　　Some things may seem bad, but they are also opportunities.

　　"yes."

　　"Your Majesty, the seventh young master is about to leave for school." the old eunuch reminded.

　　After Xie Fu bowed his head before, in order to compensate the other party, he allowed the other party to make a request that he could fulfill.

　　Xiao Qi thought for a while and finally asked Xie Fu to pick him up from school and return to the palace every day.

　　Xie Fu regretted it as soon as he heard this request.

　　Although he no longer requires Xiao Qi to maintain respect for him in front of everyone, he doesn't want to be so high-profile.

　　It's easy to fall hard when you climb high. Holding Xiaoqi up so high will always be an eyesore to others.

　　He even suspected that the reason why the rumors spread so quickly this time and were believed by so many people even if they knew there was something fishy behind it was because he acted too obviously and everything he did was too high-profile, just in line with the rumors.

　　"Your Majesty, the memorial has not been approved yet? Why don't you go pick up the seventh young master?" The old eunuch saw Xie Fu's concerns and took the initiative to share the emperor's worries.

　　Xie Fu said after a moment of silence: "No need."

　　That kid didn't like him covering up before. If he goes back on his word because of rumors, his credibility in front of the other party will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to coax him next time.

　　All the children left one after another carrying their own pens, inks, paper and inkstones. When they left the courtyard, they saw Xie Fu standing outside the courtyard. Just as they were about to salute, Xie Fu said no and asked them to go back to the palace quickly.
