After leaving Prince Zhenguo, Murong Jie told Su Qing and Xiao Tuo everything he said.
Su Qing analyzed it and said, "General Xiao is planning to arrange for Prince An and Marquis Xiao to intercept Prince Luo. I think this is not feasible. After all, it is Beimo's internal affairs. It is not good for us to interfere forcefully."
"Wasn't there no other way at that time?" Xiao Tuo waved his hand. "Although it's not appropriate, it's the only way. Cut off his retreat first."
Su Qing nodded, "Well, we have no choice, but if there is a better way, we can also reduce the casualties."
"But, it's been a long time, we may not be able to find out about this matter." Xiao Tuo said.
The two looked at Murong Jie, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Murong Jie spurred his horse, his thin lips raised with a cunning smile, "It's been a long time, we can't find it, but who can find it? Since we can't find it, then let's not check it."
Xiao Tuo was stunned. "But if there is no real evidence, how can I tell Prince Luo?"
Su Qing understood, "It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not. We don't want Prince Luo to break up with Chu Jing. We just want Prince Luo to bear a grudge against Chu Jing. The hatred of having his wife stolen from him, how can that man take it lightly?"
Xiao Tuo finally understood and stared at Murong Jie in a daze, "Your Majesty, I have always had a question in my mind."
"Ask!" Murong Jie glanced at him, "Can you spit out ivory questions from your dog's mouth?"
Xiao Tuo asked with admiration: "Why do you always think of such bad things? Why are you always so cunning?"
"The beating Su Qing gave you was considered light." Murong Jie snorted.
"Who wouldn't be honest and sincere? You're being mysterious and bluffing on purpose. Who could have thought of this?"
"Who can't think of it? Anyone with a brain can think of it." Murong Jie whipped him lightly with the whip, "Don't always think about those random things in your mind. You can think of it."
"What's all this nonsense? I don't know what's going on in my mind." Xiao Tuo said stupidly.
"It means you are stupid!" Su Qing laughed and rode away.
Murong Jie followed immediately. Xiao Tuo thought for a while and said depressedly: "Why do you always bully me?"
In fact, in front of people who are not very familiar with him, he is still very majestic.
This is true. When Xiao Tuoruo is silent, he does have some of the demeanor of Lord Xiao and Xiao Xiao.
The news was available, but finding someone to tell Prince Luo was a big problem.
Princess An volunteered at this time, "I'll go!"
"You?" Su Qing shook his head. "That's not right. If you take sides now, Prince Luo will be suspicious of your intentions."
Princess An said calmly, "What could be more appropriate than for someone like me, who witnessed it with my own eyes, to say it?"
"Witnessed it with your own eyes?" The three were stunned.
"Are you serious? Did you really see it with your own eyes?" Murong Jie asked in disbelief.
Princess An's face showed no expression, and her tone was also very indifferent. "Back then, when I was ten years old, I was punished to copy books in Fukang Palace. Concubine Gong and the emperor's sister-in-law were talking, and my brother came. He didn't know I was in the inner hall. Later, Concubine Shun came to ask Concubine Gong to leave, and only my brother and Princess Luo were in the hall. At first, my brother only talked to Princess Luo, but later he offended her with his words. Princess Luo was very angry and scolded my brother on the spot. My brother was so angry that he closed the door of the hall and ordered people to guard it. He insulted Princess Luo. I saw the whole process behind the screen. Afterwards, he warned Princess Luo that if she went back and told about this, then her husband's life would be ruined in her hands. The next day, I heard the nanny say that Princess Luo was scolded by Concubine Gong and hanged herself because she couldn't bear the humiliation."
The three of them were stunned and speechless. Chu Jing probably didn't expect that his little sister would see this scene
He dealt with everyone outside the palace, thinking that no one would know about this. Unexpectedly, Princess An saw it with her own eyes.
Princess An looked at the three people's expressions and suddenly burst out laughing, "Do you really believe it?"
"You lied?" Xiao Tuo was very angry. "Why did you lie?"
Princess An said in a leisurely voice: "You are allowed to fool people, but I am not allowed to lie? What does it matter if it is true or false? No one knows. Everyone who saw it back then is dead. Who can tell the truth? As for me, the so-called witness, what I say is the truth."
Xiao Tuo didn't expect Princess An to be as cunning as his own prince, and couldn't help but sigh: "You and our prince are really a match made in heaven."
"How do you talk like that?" Su Qing scolded.
Xiao Tuo scratched his head, "You are allowed to talk nonsense, but I am not allowed to talk nonsense?"
Princess An glanced at Murong Jie and saw that he was deep in thought and seemed not to hear what Xiao Tuo said at all. She said, "You guys continue to discuss it. I have to think about how to make this matter more believable."
After saying that, she left.
Xiao Tuo sat on the chair and said depressedly: "I thought she was telling the truth."
Su Qing smiled and shook her head, "You really can't tell what's true and what's false."
"Who knew she was lying? It sounded so real, she even described the whole process, so of course I took it seriously."
Su Qing smiled and said, "What she said is true. She really saw it back then."
Xiao Tuo was confused, "Ah? But she said it was fake."
"So you can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood."
Xiao Tuo jumped up. His dignity and intelligence were always challenged recently. "I'm not telling you, Your Majesty. Do you think what Princess An said is true?"
Murong Jie raised his head and glanced at him calmly, "Of course it's true."
"How do you know it's true?" Xiao Tuo was anxious.
"She just told us the whole process after hearing us talk about it. She even mentioned the local figures. It would take her a while to think about it, right?"
"But, what she said later was false."
Murong Jie pressed his hand and said, "Don't argue about the truth or falsehood. I am worried about another thing now."
"What's the matter?" Su Qing saw him suddenly lost in thought and knew what he was thinking about.
"They want to strip Qin Zhou of her military status and ask her to hand over her military power and military token. They may not be able to do it in a short time. But what if Qin Zhou commits suicide out of fear of punishment?"
"That's impossible. How could Qin Zhou commit suicide out of fear of crime?" Xiao Tuo shook his head. "Even if she really killed the queen, Emperor Kangping could temporarily protect her from death. She still has hope. Qin Zhou wouldn't be so stupid."
"What if someone persuaded her to commit suicide? This person is someone she trusts very much."
"Old lady from the Qin family?" Su Qing's eyes turned cold, "That's not to say it's impossible."
"Although Qin Zhou has listened to you and still has doubts in her heart, the prince of Zhenguo also said that she trusts and respects the great grandmother very much, and she also loves her family very much. She is not resisting now, which means she is determined to take the blame for the old lady. But what if the old lady tells her that someone has seen the truth of this matter? The old lady's wisdom for a lifetime may be ruined in an instant. What will Qin Zhou do?"
When Su Qing heard him say this, she finally understood why he suddenly fell silent when he heard Princess An say that she had witnessed everything.
It turns out that I actually thought of this.
