Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1435

The news of the Crown Prince's disappearance soon spread, along with rumors.

At the beginning, it was not a big deal. Everyone was talking about the disappearance of the Crown Prince. But gradually, the rumors changed. "The Crown Prince is the only child of the Emperor and the Empress. Now he is missing. I don't know if he is still alive. If he is dead, then..." "Do you still remember that there was a rumor before that the Crown Prince was born with retardation, and the Empress was injured when she gave birth to the Crown Prince, and she could no longer conceive? What's more, the Empress was so shrewd that she didn't allow the Emperor to take a concubine. In this case, I'm afraid the royal family will lose its branch."

After that, the rumors became more and more unbearable.

"It's said that the Emperor and the Empress used a lot of methods and even did a lot of harm to others when they ascended the throne. Now, God is punishing them. The justice is the justice."

"The State of Xia has the surname Xia. But this Emperor used to have the surname Luo."

"It's said that this Emperor was born when Her Former Majesty was in trouble, but she lost her memory at that time, and this Emperor had been living outside for so long. It's hard to say if he is the son of His Former Majesty. Didn't Her Former Majesty get married again andhave a son?"

"It's said that the Emperor and His Former Majesty looked the same, but there are many people who look like each other in the world. Who knows if it's a coincidence or not?"

Those people were talking happily, but they didn't know that Luo Qingyan was standing not far away and listening in silence.

There was no superfluous expression on Luo Qingyan's face, but everyone behind him was worried.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Wenan took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, how about I ask someone to arrest them? It's a serious crime to rashly talk about the Emperor."

Luo Qingyan said casually, "They all say that outside. What's the use of me arresting them? I can stop these people from talking nonsense, but can I stop all the people from talking nonsense? Just let them go. Can they drag me down from the throne just because of a few rumors?"

"But..." Liu Wenan frowned and said, "I've heard a saying before that the Emperor is a boat, and the people are water. Water can hold a boat, but can also destroy it. If you think of danger, how can you not be in danger?"

Hearing Liu Wenan's words, Luo Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, that makes sense."

After a pause, he continued, "Do you think these words are coming out of these people's minds?"

Liu Wenan was stunned. He looked up at Luo Qingyan and immediately understood what Luo Qingyan meant. "Your Majesty, do you think that someone is behind this?"

Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "These rumors may come from the people who kidnapped Chengye, or someone else who is taking advantage of the situation. However, if I don't arrest the person behind it, and if I only arrest a few people today, I can indeed punish them as a warning to others, but I can't let the rumors disappear from now on. On the contrary, I'm afraid that someone will soon say that I'm cruel and can't be an emperor."

Hearing this, Liu Wenan frowned more tightly, "Then... What should we do?"

Luo Qingyan sneered, "Water can carry a boat, but can also destroy it. You are right. However, if they want to sink the boat in water, they can at most add some gossip to the common people by spreading the rumors. It was useless. And if I want to carry a boat on water, I have many ways.

After all, for ordinary people, it doesn't matter who is on the throne. The most important thing is that the people sitting on the throne can make them live a good life, safe and happy."

Liu Wenan looked at Luo Qingyan, confused.

Luo Qingyan didn't say anything more. He just turned around and said, "Let's go back to the post house."

As soon as Luo Qingyan got on the carriage, he took out the letter that had been put in the secret compartment. Then he frowned and ordered the coachman outside the door harshly, "Hurry back to the post house!"
