C625 Return (1/2)
”No.” Xiao Zhenhai said sternly, ”This Lian is from the Evil Moon Sect, we cannot let our guard down. We must take advantage of the Ninth Prince's absence and add a firewood to the Emperor's burning heart so that he can completely lose his trust in Ninth Prince.”
However, we say that Prince An Qing had the heart to rebel and sent people to assassinate our royal father. When our royal father sent someone to Qingnan, King An Qing denied that the assassin had nothing to do with him. Then, our plan would be seen through. Feng Rong still had some doubts.
”Tenth Prince, we thought of what you did.” Xiao Zhenhai revealed a scheming smile, ”This assassin definitely can't make the Emperor suspect the Ninth Prince. However, this is only the first step in the plan, and this Su Han Xiao is a good medicine.”
”Now, let's proceed with our next plan. Let King Anqing sit down and commit treason, and then push him into the abyss. He's really been too proud of himself for too long.” Feng Qianyue lifted his leg and leisurely walked into the room.
Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Rong looked at each other before walking in.
”What did you say?” Zhou Chengdi looked at the people in front of him and stood up abruptly as he asked angrily.
”In reply to your majesty, this humble subject has already grasped the exact evidence of Prince An Qing's intention to rebel. That assassin was undoubtedly sent by King An Qing.” General Fan Ming handed Zhou Cheng Di a few letters.
These letters were all from the correspondence between King Anqing and Chitain Yalu. The more he read, the more angry he became. In the end, he ruthlessly threw the letters on the ground and shouted angrily,
”This old thing, Pancin, he actually dared to secretly join hands with Chidan to suppress the imperial government. I'm going to exterminate his entire clan.”
Fan Ming continued, ”Your Majesty, Marshal Yenfu has been stationed in the mountain and customs for many years, and he has been known as the victorious general all these years. But this time, when he fought against Chidan, not only was he unable to repel Yelu, but he has also been repeatedly defeated recently, and Yen Ruo Yuan has forced him to leave no room for manoeuvre. In the end, he had no choice but to turn to the imperial court and request the Eighth Prince to send troops.
This humble official was a deputy general under General Yan Fu, and was well aware of his outstanding military skills. However, this time, he was truly out of the ordinary, and this made him suspicious. He sent people to investigate deeply.
It turned out that Prince An Qing had sent his trusted aides into the mountain customs a few years ago, and had learned many of the combat secrets of the company's marshal. This time, he had written all of these secrets in his letter and told Yeluo Zhong Yuan about them, and his condition was that after Yelu Yuan had been sent to the Central Plains, he would support him in his counterattack and rebuild the former dynasty. He agreed to give Yalu Yuan gold and silver and land at that time.
I believe that the letters that I have painstakingly obtained are just the tip of the iceberg.
Your majesty, this An Qing has more than one or two days of ill intentions.
Prince An Qing was obviously pretending to accept the command to decline, but he was scheming behind the scenes to assassinate the emperor. This Ninth Prince was a shrewd and meticulous man, how could he not see through everything?
This humble subject suspects that the disappearance of the young master of the Lian Family is related to King An Qing. This humble subject even suspects that there is an unspeakable secret between the Ninth Prince and Yaru Chong Yuan. ”
”He dares!” Zhou Chengdi shouted angrily, ”Men! Gather everyone immediately! I am going to announce the execution of An Qing and Jiu Zi!”
”Yes, your majesty!” Fan Ming lowered his head, a trace of a smile appearing on his lips. He bent his waist, and then hurriedly left the room.
”Pah!” Zhou Cheng Emperor first went to Imperial Concubine Liang's courtyard and threw a stack of letters in front of her.
Imperial Concubine Liang gave a start before kneeling down. ”I don't know why the emperor is so angry, please explain.”
”Humph!” Zhou Cheng Di snorted, ”Two days ago, that assassin tried to assassinate me. They all thought that it was because Ninth Brother did something unfavorable that such a thing happened, but you told me to trust my child, because he has always been in my heart. I was moved by your words, and I believe you!”
But look...
This was the exchange of letters between King An Qing and Yen Lu Chong Yuan. King An Qing had long ago abandoned me. Not only had Ninth Brother failed to see anything during the many days in the southern part of the kingdom, but he had even said the most loyal words of King An Qing in the memorial he had drawn up.
I suspect that your son is very problematic! Are you trying to take revenge for us beating you into the cold palace and chasing you out of the imperial court? ”
”Don't be angry, the emperor, he …”
”Alright!” Zhou Chengdi interrupted Imperial Concubine Liang's words and said, ”Men, imprison Imperial Concubine Liang here. Without her permission, you are not allowed to leave the house!”
With that, he turned around and quickly left.
”Your majesty, chenqie doesn't know what happened exactly, but chenqie still has the same words. Your son is born and bred in your hands, he won't be able to escape.” Imperial Concubine Liang said as she looked at the receding back of Emperor Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng Emperor stopped, but he did not turn around.
With a jar of soup in her hand, the blue dai saw that the emperor left Consort Liang's place in a rage. She also did not send the soup. She hastily ran to Lian Ruyue's side and anxiously said:
”Eldest Miss, something bad happened. The imperial concubine was placed under house arrest by the emperor. This servant heard with my own ears that without his orders, the imperial concubine was not allowed to leave at all.”
When Lian Ruyue heard this, her hand holding the brush paused, ”Is Imperial Concubine doing well?”
”This servant took a quick glance. The Imperial Concubine was sitting on a chair, and her expression was very calm. It was as if she had already become accustomed to it.” Qing Dai said after thinking for a moment.
Lian Ruyue put down the brush and said, ”Accompanying the king like a tiger. Imperial Concubine is probably already used to it.”
