Chapter 1535
Qin Shan was anxious: "Your Majesty, I have heard the rumors in the past two days. Your Majesty is by no means the debauched person who oppresses the people and runs rampant in the countryside as they say!"
"Your Majesty, if you are going to do this, then your Majesty..."
"Shilang Qin!"
Xiao Lintian frowned displeased and interrupted him: "Don't I know my queen better than you do? I know very well what kind of person the queen is!"
"The rumors in the past two days started in the streets, and they can only be stopped in the streets. What better way to make the news spread faster than to hold a long street banquet!"
Qin Shan blushed immediately. He was so hasty that he forgot this.
"That's right, let's hold this long street banquet as an excuse for a small country to come to court. I want them to see the prosperity of our Western Qin!"
Qin Shan was convinced of Xiao Lintian's plan. He glanced at each other with Chen Buwei, who had been watching, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with Your Majesty to hold this long street banquet!"
"What time has it been, and you are still in the mood to hold a long street banquet!"
Pei Yu hurried over and heard the next two sentences when he entered the door. He said angrily: "Your Majesty, are you going to let those people ruin the reputation of the empress? Don't you make the decision for the empress?"
When Xiao Lintian saw Pei Yu, he thought of Mrs. Sun and his face darkened.
"Shilang Qin, you go and do your business first!"
Qin Shan and Chen Buwei quickly resigned to appease the villagers.
Pei Yu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I'm here because of Sun's affairs. She didn't deliberately frame the empress. She has her own reasons!"
"I suspect that someone has captured Ling Wan and Ling Xianggang and threatened her to slander the empress!"
"Give me two days. When I rescue Ling Wan and Ling Xianggang, and let Sun come out to clear the name of the empress, everything will be revealed."
Xiao Lintian had already figured this out from the intelligence collected by Zhao Xuan and Mr. Jin Da.
But Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu have the same idea. Having difficulties is not a reason to betray Ling Yu!
Ling Yu cares about Ling Wan and Ling Xianggang no less than Sun, but when Sun is fine, she treats Ling Yu as a family member, and when something goes wrong, she is pushed out as an outsider.
When something like this happens, let alone Ling Yu, even Xiao Lintian will not feel comfortable.
"Pei Yu!"
Xiao Lintian said in a cold tone: "Do you think the matter can be solved as easily as you think?"
"We were in the Jinluan Palace at that time, and all the civil and military officials were there. She, Sun, touched her upper and lower lips and said it was easy, but had she ever thought about Ling Yu?"
"Ayu is not an ordinary commoner, she is the queen of a country! Isn't her reputation more important than the lives of Ling Xianggang and Ling Wan?"
Xiao Lintian shouted angrily: "It is said in the streets that Sun's mouth is enough to kill Ayu hundreds of times!"
Xiao Lintian's words shocked Pei Yu and made him break into a cold sweat.
He had previously only thought that Ling Wan and Ling Xianggang were in danger, completely ignoring the negative impact this incident would have on Ling Yu.
"The censor and many officials have submitted memorials to depose the queen!"
"Will Mrs. Sun stand up to clear her name again? Will it be useful? A woman who goes back on her word, who will believe her words again?"
Xiao Lintian became even more furious when he thought about this and asked sternly.
"As long as she can trust us and reveal to us that Ling Wan and Ling Xiangang are being held hostage, we will do our best to help her rescue Ling Wan and Ling Xiangang!"
"But Sun chose to cooperate with the enemy and stab Ling Yu!"
"If I hadn't been set up by her in advance and couldn't punish her for the time being, I would have wanted to beat her to death with one slap!"
