Compared to the vast border, the capital city seems extremely prosperous, and it has a bit more nobility, which makes people feel a little dazed.
Ye Feng rode his horse as fast as he could and was in a hurry. He looked exhausted, but he had no time to be lazy. He was anxious and wanted to report the matter to the emperor.
Now the emperor is worried about the general's affairs. Coupled with some officials in the court, there is also some pressure. Ye Feng cannot afford to be slow.
In this way he entered the palace and straightened his clothes a little so as not to be impolite.
Now it's a coincidence. Perhaps because I'm anxious, I often go to sit at the pavilion at the palace gate, hoping to get news from my father as soon as possible.
At first Shen Qingwan thought she was dazzled and wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand. She thought she was just a little impatient, but now it really appeared, how could she not be ecstatic!
As a result, Shen Qingwan's coldness faded a lot.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine." Ye Feng also saw it and bowed slightly.
"No need to be polite. Guard Ye has suffered a lot on this trip." Shen Qingwan suppressed her anxiety. Her face was as calm as water, but the look in her eyes revealed her thoughts at the moment.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind-hearted. How could Ye Feng bear this responsibility? Everything is my duty. It is my honor to share the worries of Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Ye Feng was humble and polite. Although the two of them were familiar with each other, they were at the gate of the palace after all. They still needed to be polite in everything to avoid being gossiped about behind their backs.
"Does Guard Ye need to go find the Emperor? If so, it's on my way there too. Why don't we go together? I can also listen to Guard Ye's experiences these days." Shen Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked more lively and smart.
"As you command."
Shen Qingwan dismissed everyone and chatted with them for a while. Finally, she asked the question that was most on her mind, "Guard Ye, did you discover anything on this trip?" Shen Qingwan's heart trembled a little, fearing that she would hear some bad news, but everything turned out fine. She also breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the big stone in her heart could finally be put to the ground.
"I was lurking in the military camp, but I really found a spy hidden in the army." Ye Feng seemed to recall the situation that day, and Shen Qingwan was also a little surprised. Now she hoped that there would be no more spies in the military camp. After all, these soldiers who fought for the country were innocent!
"I didn't expect that there would be a spy planted even in the military camp. If this spy is not eliminated, it will always be a hidden danger." Hearing this, Xiufeng frowned. You know, the military is a place where spies can be planted!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but feel a slight chill down her spine. After all, if this was the case, the real mastermind behind the scenes, who had power in the court, might not be a simple person.
"So, Guard Ye has found the spy, but has he found the mastermind behind it?" There was some doubt and worry in Shen Qingwan's eyes. After all, this was the most important thing. After all, everything was controlled by someone. If they couldn't find him, even if the spy was exposed, they could choose to abandon him. It would always be a bit troublesome.
"This..." Ye Feng was in deep thought and embarrassment for a moment. After all, these things had not been reported to the Emperor yet, and he shouldn't have told other people about them. But thinking about what happened between him and Li Ruotong before, it was all thanks to the support of the Concubine Xian.
Perhaps Shen Qingwan saw the embarrassment of Guard Ye and did not want to force him. Just as she was about to speak, Guard Ye took the lead and explained the whole story in general.
After hearing this, Shen Qingwan frowned. This matter actually involved the Ninth Prince Fu Huaiyu. Now this matter made her feel a little uneasy.
"Guard Ye, I feel that this matter should not be made public for the time being..." Shen Qingwan frowned and thought for a while, then spoke slowly.
After all, he knew Fu Yuheng well. If he said it directly like this, given his personality, he might not believe it. If he accidentally alerted the enemy and made the Ninth Prince suspicious, it would be difficult to deal with in the future.
"What does the queen mean..." Ye Feng also knew that Shen Qingwan must have her reasons for saying this. Thinking carefully in his heart, he could understand something.
"This matter requires long-term consideration. Guard Ye, the emperor will ask later if we can keep the mastermind behind this hidden for the time being. I am worried..." Shen Qingwan did not say the next words, but her heart was stuck in a quagmire. It seemed that all this was like a thin mist, quietly covering everything, but making it impossible for the people involved to defend themselves.
Guard Ye agreed readily and chatted with Shen Qingwan for a while. Fu Yuheng on the other side also learned about Ye Feng and sent the eunuch beside him to bring Ye Feng over.
"Your Highness." Ye Feng's voice was loud and clear. Fu Yuheng, who was working on memorials at his desk, looked him up and down. After confirming that he was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Get up. How's the investigation going on with the military incident?" Thinking about what Shen Qingwan had done in the past few days because of this matter, he went straight to the point. After all, the border issues are of vital importance now, and the current situation in the army is related to the safety of the country.
"Your Majesty, I have been hiding in the army this time and have discovered a spy. Now it seems that General Shen has been framed." Fu Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you found the person behind the scenes?"
"Not for now." Ye Feng also remembered Shen Qingwan's instructions, but he did not mention the Ninth Prince. After all, this was a dispute within the royal family. If it was not handled properly, it would be a misfortune for the country.
Fu Yuheng flexed his fists and tapped lightly on the corner of the desk. It seemed that there was unrest in the army.
"A bunch of traitors!" Fu Yuheng was not angry in his heart, but that was a lie. After all, these people were eating salaries from the court, but they actually did such things. Now, if these parasites were found out, they would definitely be severely punished!
After asking about the situation in the military camp, Fu Yuheng let Ye Feng have a good rest. Now it has been proved that General Shen should be innocent.
His gaze was long and seemed to be taking in the scenery outside the window. He was thinking of something, and the curve of his face softened slightly.
I was thinking, if Shen Qingwan knew this news, I wonder how she would react
I don't know why, but I started to feel a sense of anticipation.
