In Chu Li's hand, he also took out a secret letter. Seeing this, everyone in the hall dared not speak out, and waited for the next sentence.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin family is going to declare war on Prince Ning's mansion head-on this time!
Eunuch Lu, who was standing beside Emperor Ximing, ran down again, took the secret letter from Chu Li, walked to the hall and presented it to Emperor Ximing.
Emperor Ximing took the secret letter and opened it. After seeing the contents of the secret letter, he raised his eyes to look in the direction of Old General Qin, and then continued to look down.
After a while, Emperor Ximing put away the secret letter, held it in his hand, and looked at Yan Qiuhuai, "Yan Aiqing specially recruited three city lords here today, what is his intention?"
When Old General Qin saw that Emperor Ximing's reaction was flat after reading the secret letter, he directly avoided talking about the content of the secret letter. Due to a lot of losses, I always feel that the content of the secret letter is not that simple.
At this moment, seeing Emperor Ximing asking Yan Qiuhuai, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qu Xinyao and the others.
Yan Qiuhuai was named, and bent down to answer, "According to Miss Qin of the General's Mansion, when I was with His Royal Highness Ning in the past years, I saw City Lord Xu and Qu often meet with His Highness Ning in private, and His Royal Highness Prince Ning also has a secret base in Heyue City, which specializes in breeding some strange things to break Concubine Rong's formation."
"There is also Daoist Fengxuan, one of the three masters in the world who has lived in Shenyao City for a long time. Recently, he also accepted Princess Ning as his apprentice. I thought about the relationship between His Highness King Ning and Master Huaiyuan, and now two more The city lord feels that the matter is really complicated. Perhaps this matter may be because the minister is too frightened, but as a minister, he should solve the emperor's worries and problems."
After Yan Qiuhuai finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.
"Miss Qin is right, what about her?" Qu Xinyao looked at Yanqiu Huai with disdain.
"Mu Yue is restraining her feet in the Plum Blossom Garden." Old General Qin replied in place of Yan Qiuhuai.
Qu Xinyao snorted coldly and looked away.
Emperor Ximing raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Qu Xinyao, "What Xiang Xiang said is the truth?"
"My Majesty, what Yan Xiang said is not wrong, we do often meet in private." Qu Xinyao smiled and answered Emperor Ximing's question.
"Why do you guys meet?" Emperor Ximing's eyes were calm. Today's events came one after another. Yan Qiuhuai's words seemed to be based on imagination, but they seemed to remind him of something.
Qu Xinyao squinted her eyes, looked at Xu Heyu who was standing beside her, and smiled, "Your Majesty and all the adults present may not know that I have admired this City Lord Xu for a long time."
Emperor Ximing frowned, glanced at Xu Heyu, and said, "Then what does this have to do with Li Er?"
"Father, He Yu was the schoolboy of my minister when I was a child, and the grandson of the late Mr. Xu Taiwei." Chu Li opened his thin lips lightly, explaining to Emperor Xi Ming.
"Xu Taiwei's grandson..." Emperor Ximing frowned and thought about it, and then he really remembered that after Xu Taiwei died of illness, the rest of the Xu family were robbed and killed. At that time, only one child survived. It was Qin Taifei who saw that the child was pitiful and gave Chu Li a book boy.
Seeing that Emperor Ximing had figured it out, Qu Xinyao raised the corners of her lips, "Your Majesty, when I was studying art in Qiuye Mountain, Mu Yue was my little junior sister at that time, and she was pestering His Highness King Ning all day long. After coming and going, I met His Highness King Ning, which is not surprising."
"Later, I fell in love with City Lord Xu. I heard that he used to be the book boy of His Royal Highness King Ning, so I asked His Highness King Ning to help me say more good things in front of City Lord Xu."
After Qu Xinyao finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Yanqiu Huai, "Miss Mu Yue also knows about it, if you don't believe me, go and ask?"
Yan Qiuhuai didn't expect Qu Xinyao to throw the question back to him, her throat choked and she couldn't say a word.
"There is also the secret base that Ms. Muyue mentioned. It is on the hillside of the outskirts of Heyue City. There is a cave there. There is a pond in the cave. There are some wild lotus flowers growing in it. It looks pretty, but It is a bit far-fetched when it comes to cracking the formation. By the way, Miss Muyue often goes with us to this secret base." Xu Heyu, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth and smiled slightly at Emperor Ximing in the hall .
When Old General Qin heard the words, anger welled up in his eyes, and he pointed at Qu Xinyao and Xu Heyu, "Don't talk nonsense, and leave the matter to Mu Yue here!"
"Everyone in Xiyuan Kingdom knows that Miss Qin chased His Highness Ning Wang every day in the past. It's not surprising that she knows these things, right?" Qu Xinyao asked.
"You..." Old General Qin glared at Qu Xinyao angrily.
Seeing that there was a commotion in the court hall, Emperor Ximing patted the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, "What does Taoist Fengxuan mean by accepting Mu Yunjin as his disciple?"
"I don't know about this matter. How did Prime Minister Yan know?" Chu Li suddenly smiled and looked at Yan Qiuhuai.
Yanqiu Huai was slightly taken aback.
"Where did Prime Minister Yan hear the gossip, without any evidence to infer, just talking nonsense in this hall? According to what you said, His Highness King Ning can't make a few friends?" Qu Xinyao sneered.
Then he looked at Qiu Tianhuai, the city lord of Zhangzhou City who had been silently watching the excitement all the time, and smiled, "The city lord Qiu is still the uncle of His Highness Prince Chen, Prime Minister Yan, do you dare to say that City Lord Qiu and His Royal Highness Chen colluded to plot something? "
Chou Tianhuai, who was named, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "City Master Qu was joking."
"There is also Princess Rong who was executed just a few days ago. She also said that she likes to worship Buddha and would often go to Shuiyun Temple to offer incense. So she and Shuiyun Temple also have collusion?" Qu Xinyao added.
After finishing speaking, Qu Xinyao glared at Yanqiu Huai, then looked at Emperor Ximing with a calm expression, "Your Majesty, some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and deliberately provoke the relationship between father and son. I don't know what their intentions are!"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to report these things today for the sake of the country and society of Xiyuan Kingdom. I can be said to be loyal to the emperor and to Xiyuan Kingdom! On the contrary, City Lord Qu is a woman who speaks rampantly, doesn't follow the rules, and turns black and white. !" Yanqiu Huai knelt down and kowtowed heavily towards Emperor Xi Ming.
Old General Qin was in a trance for a moment, never expecting that Qu Xinyao's verbal skills are so good, in just a few words, she said that the dead were alive!
He originally wanted to make a big fuss about Chu Li's injury to Rong Min. After all, the matter was related to the friendship between the two countries, and the Emperor Ximing had to give Donglin Kingdom an explanation.
But now, he didn't know what the secret letter that Chu Li handed to Emperor Xi Ming was, so he didn't dare to say too much for a while.
At this time, Emperor Ximing was leaning on the dragon chair, and scanned the expressions of all the people below. From the beginning of the morning today, Yan Qiuhuai pointed all the spearheads at Chu Li, and Qin Feng added a few more words from time to time. One sentence, but the purpose is the same as Yanqiu Huai, wanting to bring down Chu Li.
Chu Li has always been happy and angry. Regarding the testimonies of Yanqiu Huai and Qin Feng, he looked open and frank, without any signs of panic or guilt. But what Qu Xinyao said today seems to be a bit more, and they are all well-founded, and there is nothing wrong with them.
Does this kind of speech without a trace of flaw mean that Chu Li was really wronged, or did they have already thought of a set of rhetoric to deal with it before they came.
After thinking about it, Emperor Ximing glanced at the secret letter that had been in his fist since he finished reading it. This was presented by Chu Li just now, and the content of the secret letter read—
"Li Er, on the way out of the Nanting Kingdom, the widow came across the Donglin Kingdom's prince Rong Min and Chen Wang Chuqing who were beating each other. I wanted to stop to dissuade them, but due to my status, it was very inconvenient. After returning to Beiming Kingdom, I was still worried about this matter. I will write a letter to you, I hope you will investigate this matter and give me a reply."
At the end of the secret letter, the exclusive jade seal of Beitang Wenfeng of Beiming Country was affixed.
The matter has developed to this point, and it has gone beyond the scope of Xi Minghuang's brain power guessing. Looking at the faces below, it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
He thought that maybe he had been at ease for too long, so long that he had forgotten how to be a king of a country.
After a long while, Emperor Ximing sighed softly, waved his hand lazily, "Retire!"
Once there is a farce in the court, it will be nothing.
…
On the way out of the palace, Chu Li walked in front, and Qu Xinyao and Xu Heyu walked behind Chu Li. The scenes in the hall just now seemed to be still lingering in front of his eyes.
From the corner of her eye, Qu Xinyao glanced at Yanqiu Huai and the old general Qin who were walking not far behind, her eyes became even more playful, "This is fun, in the eyes of Emperor Ximing, everyone is probably a traitor now, and in the future I will treat this The Qin family and Chu Qing will pay more attention."
"City Lord Qu is right. When the emperor appointed His Highness King Ning, he already had doubts about His Highness. Otherwise, he would not have let His Highness go to the poor place of Qingzhou. Now that there is such a commotion, everyone is fair. "Ding Xian, who has been silently following, couldn't help but chime in.
A few people were chatting in whispers, and the old general Qin behind him had already caught up with him. When he wanted to go up to talk to Chu Li, Qu Xinyao stopped him, "Grandpa Qin, I remember that you have been resting for the elderly a while ago. What? Why are you haunting the court again recently? Do you think that Major General Qin can't take on the important task?"
Calling Grandpa Qin, Qin Feng felt it was very ironic. When Qu Xinyao and the brothers and sisters of the Qin family were studying arts together in Qiuye Mountain, although the girl had a bit of a bad temper, he also treated her as half of her granddaughter. Unexpectedly, it was Chu Li. side people.
"His Royal Highness Ning, please stay." Old General Qin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and took a few steps forward, walking towards Chu Li.
After Chu Li in front heard the voice, his footsteps slowed down slightly, and he squinted at Old General Qin, "What's the matter?"
"When the matter comes to this point, let's be clear that people don't talk dark words. His Highness Prince Ning has raised such a group of elites behind him. Is he determined to fight for the throne?" Old General Qin's voice was very low, with a pair of old His eyes were full of light.
Hearing Old General Qin's words, Chu Li's eyes showed a bit of teasing. He shook his head at Old General Qin, with a very charming and deep smile on his lips, and said calmly and coldly—
"Actually, this king is more interested in your head than the throne."
