Chapter 260
The rumors spread to Ye Baimian, and naturally, they also reached the ears of Master Guoshi.

When he heard this rumor, Master Guoshi, who had always been as indifferent as a lotus, and did not change his expression even before Mount Tai collapsed, showed a trace of astonishment on his face.

The fact that His Majesty likes him... Does the whole Bei Kingdom know?

He stood up and walked to the window, feeling mixed emotions. He was shocked and stunned, mixed with a trace of inexplicable joy.

The common people spread this rumor and talk about it, in fact, because they think it is false.

Your Majesty has a harem of three thousand people, how could he like the Imperial Preceptor?

No matter how good-looking Master Guo Shi is, how can he compare to the beauties in the harem?
The common people don't believe it, and even more civil and military officials don't believe it.

But Ji Bai's three thousand harem were dubious about this.

Only they know best that although His Majesty has accepted them into the palace, he has never favored any of the concubines, the reason is capricious.

I am sick.

Could it be that His Majesty really... broke his sleeve?
The concubines murmured in their hearts, but His Majesty has never been moved by their looks, maybe they really have the habit of Longyang.

In the early morning of the second day, all civil and military officials looked at their noble majesty with gossipy eyes.

"His Majesty……"

A civil servant stood up and was about to ask about the rumors that had been circulating recently, but saw His Majesty raised his hand with a serious face.

"I was assassinated last night."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole world exploded, and the faces of all the civil and military officials who had been gossiping just now changed their expressions.

"What? His Majesty was assassinated again?"

"Where is your Majesty injured?"

"Who dares to assassinate His Majesty?"

Among all the discussions, there were worries and voices mixed with other emotions. Under the inquiry of these people, only the prime minister lowered his head and remained silent.

Nangong Chuchen went to the palace last night and has not come back yet. Combined with what she said, the prime minister is a smart man and instantly understood why.

I'm afraid Prince Chu has been captured.

And he, as a traitor to the enemy, is afraid that he will not end well.

"Don't be impatient, gentlemen, calm down first."

Hearing the noise in the court hall, Ye Baimian raised his hand and made a gesture.

All civil and military officials suddenly fell silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the figure standing in front of the dragon chair.

Her expression was calm, and her gestures showed a dignified aura that could not be ignored. Everyone couldn't help but be intimidated by her.

"I'm fine."

She glanced lightly at all the people in the court hall, and some people had disappointment on their faces, and she remembered them all one by one.

Finally, Ye Baimian's eyes fell on the prime minister who was standing with his head bowed.

Feeling a sharp gaze fixed on him, the Prime Minister's body tensed up, and he felt like he couldn't hold back and wanted to kneel down.

"The person who came to assassinate last night was Nangong Chuchen, the eldest son of the prime minister's residence."

The expression on her face was still calm, and her dark and deep pupils were staring at the prime minister with malice.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are a veteran of three dynasties and have worked diligently in the court for decades... Can I ask for an explanation from you?"

She said she wanted an explanation, but she said it was an assassination before, which blocked the prime minister's defense and made him unable to find any excuse to cover it up.

I already said it was an assassination, do you still dare to say it was an accident or a misunderstanding?

Ye Baimian wanted to see what else the prime minister could say in this situation.
