Basically, all the ministers who came here thought that there was no smoke without fire, and that something must have happened to the emperor, which led to such rumors.

They thought that if something happened to the emperor, even if the prince was smart and talented like the emperor, could he control the Shang Dynasty?

Especially since the Shang Dynasty is now at war with the Yuan Dynasty.

Nan Hui and Zhao Yunhe told these officials that Shang Yue was directing the war at the border, and the rumors about Shang Yue's disappearance were used by the enemy to divide the court officials.

Now that Zhao Yunhe and Nan Hui are in charge of the government affairs, the emperor will inform them immediately of any incident. Seeing that they said very confidently that their emperor was fine, these officials went back one by one.

After Zhao Yunhe and Nan Hui sent these officials away, they immediately went into the palace to discuss the rumors with Empress Dowager Nan Yan. After half an hour of discussion, soon the streets and alleys were filled with notices.

As soon as the official who posted the notice left, a large group of people gathered around.

"What does this notice say?"

"The notice said that the emperor's disappearance was a rumor deliberately spread by the enemy, and we were not allowed to discuss it casually. It also said that if anyone was heard to spread this matter again, they would be arrested and beaten in the government office."

"Ah, so it was the enemy who deliberately spread the news. Great, the emperor is fine. I was wondering how a man as powerful as the emperor could be assassinated and fall off a cliff!"

"Humph, those people are so evil. They started the war and now they are deliberately spreading these rumors. I believed them this morning and they scared me half to death."

"Me too. When I heard that something happened to the emperor, my heart skipped a beat."

"If there are any bad rumors about the emperor in the future, I will definitely not believe them anymore."

"In a short period of time, the emperor has already captured a city of the Yuan Dynasty. I hope the emperor can defeat the Yuan Dynasty so badly that they will never dare to do such despicable things again."

"You are right. The emperor is so powerful that he will definitely make the Yuan Dynasty cry for mercy."

As everyone was discussing, a man squeezed into the crowd. When he saw them cursing Da Yuan, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes and then disappeared.

He interrupted and said, "Alas, there is no smoke without fire. If the emperor is really fine, why would such rumors spread? I'm afraid something has really happened to the emperor, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the people who were originally looking at the notice and discussing it were all looking at him with expressions on their faces that he didn't know how to describe, but he could see that their eyes were not very friendly.

"How dare you talk like that?" A plump, hot-tempered woman pushed the man aside. "The notice said the emperor is fine, but you are here saying these alarmist things. I think you have bad intentions."

"Yes, yes, yes. I also think you have bad intentions. The emperor is fine, but you say that something happened to him. You really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

"You guys..." The man who interrupted had a guilty look in his eyes.

"We...what's wrong with us? Did we say something wrong?" The old lady interrupted him without waiting for him to speak.

Facing the circle of questioning and resentful eyes, the person who spoke was a little scared, "I... I was just talking casually, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

"What do you mean by just saying it? The notice clearly states that we cannot continue to spread these unfounded rumors. You still say that? I think you just want to see the official."

"You are right, ma'am. You can't say that anymore. We will escort you to the government office right now. Maybe the government office will give us some rewards."

The person who interrupted was scared and said in a weak voice, "You guys are really fussy. Humph, I won't talk to you anymore."

Then he slid away as if something was chasing him.

"I don't think this guy is a good person. He might be a spy from another country."

Someone said something and everyone present was shocked.

"Oh, I think so too. The emperor is so kind, we in Da Shang would never say that about him. We should have taken him to see the official just now, and we shouldn't have let him go."

Those present were filled with regret.

For a while, people in the streets and alleys were discussing the notice, and everyone was disgusted with Da Yuan's behavior.

Some spies sneaked in everywhere and tried to make the people of Da Shang believe that Shang Yue was really in trouble, but they were all scolded and fled away in disgrace.

They believed the notices posted by their court more than the enemy.

Since the court said that the emperor is fine, then he is really fine.

Nan Yan also asked the system to pay attention to the situation of the people and officials in the capital. When she saw that they had no doubts about the notice and even scolded some spies so that they fled in disgrace, she couldn't help but laugh.

As the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Shang Yue would definitely be very happy if he knew that the people of the Shang Dynasty loved him so much.

However, Nan Yan had something more important to tell Shang Yue.

After much deliberation, there was only one way.

At midnight, Nan Yan was lying on the bed, wearing a thin white nightgown, staring at the bed curtain with her eyes open, bored.

"Tongzi, is Ayue asleep?" This was the fifty-first time she asked the system this question tonight.

[It's almost time. Shang Yue just came out of the study and prepared to take a bath. ]

"Oh! Ayue hasn't slept so late, he must be so tired." Nan Yan said with a distressed look on her face.

His face had become much thinner the last time I saw him, and if he continued like this he would surely become thinner again.

[No choice, fighting is hard. I will give Shang Yue a good rest when he comes back.]

About half an hour later, the system's voice sounded, [Host, Shang Yue has fallen asleep. ]

"Then quickly pass the note I wrote to him, right next to his pillow."

Although Nan Yan wanted to send him over personally, Shang Yue was too vigilant, especially since there was a war going on, and people were even more vigilant, so she didn't dare to take the risk.

[OK host, it has been passed on. ]

"That's good." Nan Yan yawned and whispered, "Then I can sleep peacefully." She had been waiting for him to fall asleep for half the night.

?

Le City.

Shang Yue got up at six o'clock and prepared to practice martial arts.

He got out of bed and put on his shoes, his eyes suddenly fell on the pillow and a note came into view.

There was no note before he went to bed last night, so the note appeared after he fell asleep.

His brows furrowed instantly and he glanced around the room. The windows and doors were closed and there was nothing unusual inside the house.

He called in the guards in the yard.

"Did you see anyone enter my room after I fell asleep last night?"

The guards looked at each other and shook their heads.

One of them saw that he looked unhappy and asked tentatively: "Did the emperor lose something important?"

"No, you guys go down first!"
