Chapter 626: Battle of Public Opinion!

Translator: Lord bluefire

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged glances, both thinking to themselves that this wasn’t good, but neither of them dared to show it. If they appeared too flustered, it would cause even more panic among their subordinates.

Shen Ruojing calmly asked, “What are people saying online?”

She furrowed her brows. Normally, in such a situation, wouldn’t everyone be cursing at someone? Research that was useless to humanity and threatened human safety was usually abandoned and not allowed to be pursued privately. Just like in China, when people learned that the No.5 neurotoxin was researched and created by Shen Ruojing, they reacted similarly. Now, Jing Zhen must be under fire from the entire internet.

If the entire internet was cursing, even the military of Country A might become disheartened. When that happened, the United Nations or Country Y might put pressure on them, and Country A might experience an uprising. In the end, the

King could be replaced.

Shen Ruojing was well aware of the dangers involved and had thought of countless countermeasures in her mind. It was at this moment that she suddenly understood why Jing Zhen wanted to maintain good relationships with the three major families in Country A —without military power, things were simply too dangerous.

Apart from the personal soldiers in the palace, Jing Zhen had very few troops at his disposal.

…..
As Shen Ruojing was thinking about this, Ji Wuyou spoke up, ‘There is a group of paid trolls on the internet, likely hired by Karl and his people, leading the charge in cursing His Majesty the King. They say the King is not doing his job, not putting human safety first, and that he is an evil scientist…”

As soon as Ji Wuyou finished speaking, Shen Ruojing scoffed coldly, ‘Then go and see if some of these trolls are working for Jing Yi!”

At present, the only person who had some influence in the military and was somewhat close to them was Jing Yi. If Jing Zhen were to be ousted, Shen Ruojing’s position as Crown Princess would be in jeopardy, and Jing Yi would become the beneficiary of this situation.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuyou nodded and said, “Your Highness, we have been keeping an eye on Jing Yi, and indeed, we found that he has been secretly meeting with Karl. It seems that Jing Yi does harbor ill intentions.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. Ever since the banquet for Princess Daisy, Shen Ruojing knew that Jing Yi was up to no good. The fact that he showed up at the banquet and worked together with Karl to suppress her was proof that they had been colluding long before.

Ji Wuyou, with concern, asked, What should we do now? Should we engage them in a battle of public opinion? We can’t let them continue to slander His

Majesty the King.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. for certain, but we need to discuss how to do it. Is there a public relations department in the royal family? ‘

Yes, they are already working on it.” There must be a corresponding public relations department within the royal family to maintain its external image. Moreover, Country A practiced absolute monarchy, and Jing Zhen was not just a nominal king. He had real power!
So, his image was even more important.

Seeing that Shen Ruojing was calm and seemed to have figured out what to do, Ji Wuyou’s panic subsided somewhat.

Shen Ruojing headed out directly, saying to Chu Cichen, “Let’s go and see my mother first. ‘

Chu Cichen followed her, and the two of them walked toward Jing Zhen’s palace.

The palace was huge. When Jing Zhen dealt with national affairs, he did so in the frontmost palace, while he lived in the palace behind it. The design was similar to China’s Forbidden City, but the architectural style leaned more toward the Western Gothic style.

Shen Ruojing rarely appeared here, so not every maid in the palace recognized her.

Moreover, she and Chu Cichen were not used to having everyone they met bow to them, so they chose to walk along smaller paths to avoid the main roads.

As the two of them were about to see if they could offer any help, they suddenly overheard a conversation among a few young maids up ahead.

“Did His Majesty the King really develop something that harms human safety?”

“Who knows? With this incident exposed, do you think the three major families will still protect the King?”

definitely will, right? After all, he is our King. If the King is convicted and taken away, how will Country A maintain international relations in the future?”

“Well, it’s not certain. Kings can be replaced, you know. ‘

“Sigh, speaking of which, our King really did make a mistake. After all three Princess Consorts passed away, he should have selected new ones to enter the palace. If the daughters of the three major families could enter the palace, at least His Majesty would have the protection of one family’s military power. Sometimes, marriage alliances can also serve as protection for the King!”

“What about the Yan family? The Queen Dowager is a daughter of the Yan family!”

“What good does that do? The legitimate eldest daughter sent by the Yan family was toyed with so badly. I heard that the Yan family is now preparing another daughter to be sent to the palace to become a noble concubine! But His Majesty refused, saying he can’t have any more children and doesn’t want to waste the youth of other girls..

.1 heard that the King is not actually ill and that he spends every night with the Queen doing…you know…”

“What? Is that true?”

Shen Ruojing.

She was just listening in on some gossip but didn’t expect to hear about her parents’ bedroom affairs!

This made her feel a bit embarrassed. She coughed lightly and was about to quicken her pace to leave from the side path when she suddenly heard another sentence..
