"Supply!!!!!!" The emperor threw a file.
"His glorious anger!!!" The eunuch next to him who handed over the dossier knelt down.
"How dare they?! Quickly call concubine Yao and Zhang Bingjie to face!!!" Emperor's orders.
"Okay, your highness!" Kasim saluted and left.
After a long while the eunuch returned with concubine Yao and Zhang Bingjie behind him.
"Greetings, your honor." They pay respect.
"Rise." The emperor said coldly.
"Thank you, your honor." They rose from their knees with the help of the servant.
"Tell me clearly, what is the meaning of the news circulating and being hotly discussed by the residents of the capital?!?!?!" Snapped the emperor while pointing at the bundle he had thrown away.
Concubine Yao picked up the object in front of her and read carefully. After finishing reading it carefully concubine Yao dropped the object and immediately knelt down.
"Your majesty!! It's slander!! We never did that disgusting thing!! Slandered servant!!" Concubine Yao said.
The curious Zhang Bingjie picked up the thing that his mother-in-law dropped, he could be surprised as he read the scroll containing the news.
"I... This is impossible!! For these 3 years no one knew, how could this news be widespread in the Capital?! It's impossible!!" Inwardly, she began to panic and did the same as concubine Yao.
"Defamation or not, you know yourself better than me!!!!" The emperor was getting angry.
"Your Majesty, allow the servant to investigate this matter!! We must be defamed!!" Zhang Bingjie.
"Yes, your highness. Let my son-in-law investigate this, I'm sure if there's someone who wants to bring us down with slander!!!" Concubine Yao said.
"Curtain!! He said no one would know, so why is it spreading now?!" Inner Zhang Bingjie.
"Blog*l!!! This must have been the daughter of that jal*ng, Jieru!! They were already in the capital and watching us. All those assassins didn't return, surely because they had been killed by them!!" Inner concubine Yao.
"Everyone is talking about this, what else do you want to investigate?! It's even written that you've been doing it for over 2 years in Zhang Bingjie's private room and that's every night!!! You don't even realize if a thief comes in and takes out 2 bags filled with taels!! You're despicable!!!" The emperor became more and more angry.
"Hamba please your majesty!!! We're defamed!! Bao-yu is the daughter of concubine Yao and she is my wife, how can we do that?!" Zhang Bingjie.
"They even know the time, place, and since when did it all happen, what else do you want to investigate?! All the evidence clearly shows that if you do that despicable thing in the palace, slander cannot possibly have this much evidence!!!" Emperor says.
"Your Majesty, please give us some time!! I will seek the truth and who is the perpetrator who spread this slander throughout the capital!!" Zhang Bingjie.
"Your highness, give my son-in-law time." Concubine Yao said pleading.
"I have to find Jieru, this must be him!!" Inner Zhang Bingjie.
"I'll give you 4 days. If you haven't found any evidence that this is just a slander, then you guys I'll give you a severe punishment!!! You have committed a great sin!!!" Resolute emperor.
"Good! Thank you, your majesty!! I beg you to pay." Zhang Bingjie saluted then left. Concubine Yao also left with her daughter-in-law.
"Observe them! Screw up their work! Don't find who did it! Let them feel how to be Jiao's concubine who should be put to death for slander back then!" Emperor's orders.
"Okay, your highness!" Answer the eunuch and leave.
"Wait, find this news spreader before Zhang Bingjie and bring him to me." The emperor added orders.
"Okay, your honor." The eunuch left.
"Concubine Jiao, Jieru, I will try to clear your name. I'm sorry I still haven't found any evidence that concubine Yao committed the murder." The wandering emperor.
"Greetings, your highness the emperor!!" A guard dressed in all black appeared suddenly.
"We have found Jieru's daughter, she is at an inn in the capital. But....." The guard hung up his sentence.
"However? Continue." Emperor says.
"However, concubine Jiao was not with them. Several times I saw Jieru's daughter dressed as a man daydreaming by the window, she kept looking at the sky with a sad look." Continue the guard.
"Surely something happened to concubine Jiao so she didn't come along. Keep investigating what they're doing." Emperor says.
"Ah, yes. Yesterday they went to the forbidden forest to meet someone, he was the crown prince. I think they're now in the crown prince's protection." The guard said again.
"Crown prince? I think he's got more information than I got." The Emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath then exhaled slowly.
"According to the investigation the servants Jieru and Weiheng were married and had a pair of twins. The male is Minghao, the female is Zhishu, surname of Wei." Said guard.
"Thank God, at least I have a grandchild. Keep protecting them secretly if it's like that, I'll meet the crown prince." Emperor says.
"Good!" The guard retreated a few steps then dashed out and instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Crown prince, we'll join soon." Inner emperor.

"Hows it? Is it spreading fast?" Jieru asked while sitting with Li Wei like a big boss.
"Report, Mr. Jiao, Mr. Li. The task had already been carried out, thanks to the beautiful and sweet lips of the women in a few hours had already reached the ears of the emperor." Answer Weiheng.
"Oh? Beautiful lips? Sweetie? So then.... Did you guys take the opportunity to approach and kiss the ladies?" Jieru's sinister gaze landed on Weiheng.
"Mom.. Not that!! Our.... We didn't do it!!" Gu Cheng was nervous about being accused of such mischief.
Jieru and Li Wei pointed their swords at the husbands, "Say clearly, did you guys take a chance in running errands and teasing the girls!?" They said compact with a deadly gaze.
Weiheng and Gu Cheng could only go silent without being able to say anything, if the wife was already angry then you could only pray for safety.
"Say!! Did you guys do it?! Why do you know that their lips are sweet?! How long have you been tasting it?! Besides what else are you guys tasting?!" The wives look like they want to eat them alive.
"Ma... That's not what it means!! I mean is the way they spread the word!! Mr. Jiao please don't kill us!" Weiheng replied spontaneously.
"If I answer from earlier I don't have to bother taking out a gun." Jieru kept his sword.
"You always misunderstand!!" Ketus Weiheng's.
"I guess cutting your tongue out a little doesn't matter." Jieru took back his sword.
"No no no!!! I promise I will no longer say anything that will make Lord Jiao angry!!" Weiheng kneeled.
Kruyukkk~~ kruyukk~~
"Eh..... I'm hungry, can I eat now? It's dinner time already, right?" Gu Cheng asked whose stomach was beeping from hunger.
"Yayaya just go. If you need not go back to the room, sleep on the roof of the inn tonight." Dismiss Jieru.
"Either a fortune because of having a smart wife, or a misfortune because of having a fierce and sinister wife. But he remains my darling~~~" Inner Weiheng and Gu Cheng together while grinning.
"Are they not crazy? Being told to sleep on the roof and smile? Uh! Do-don't they plan to go and peek at the girls' room?!" Li Wei provoked Jieru.
"Be quiet, I will kill him if he dares to do so!! I am not the meek Jieru, but the fugitive Jieru!!" Said Jieru flicking Li Wei's forehead.
