"What? Chase?"
When Li Taiqing heard this, a flash of anger emerged in his old eyes, "This is simply unreasonable. Who is it? And it's still within the territory of Wanxiang Kingdom?"
Li Jiuan's face was also ashen.
What this means is already clear.
Being ambushed in Vientiane must have something to do with people inside the court.
Quzhou is Duan Zhenglong's base camp. Although Duan Zhenglong has left Quzhou, Duan Weifeng is in charge and Duan Zhenglong has been in business for so long, so there is no problem.
But after entering Vientiane Kingdom, he was hunted down.
"It must have something to do with Xiang Liu's party. They have a close relationship with the Dali Imperial Family."
Li Jiuan frowned again as he spoke, "However, in the past, they only used tit-for-tat verbally and directly assassinated the princess. Could it be that they have eaten the heart of a bear and become a leopard?"
Li Taiqing had murderous intent in his eyes, "No matter who they are, they must be found."
The Duke of the Qing Dynasty was also a fighting general on the battlefield in his early years, and had made great contributions to the Wanxiang Kingdom. He did not tolerate disdain in his eyes. Now that his niece was assassinated, how could he give up so easily?
"Let's go! Follow your uncle to see His Majesty. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
The old man said as he stood up.
Ling Xiyu said quickly: "Uncle, don't be anxious. Xiyu just wants to talk to uncle first. As for meeting the emperor, Xiyu can go alone."
No matter which emperor he is, he is not happy with his subordinates getting too close.
What's more, Ling Xiyu has been married to Dali for many years.
Li Jiu'an also said: "Yes, father, Xiyu is a princess. If you really have something to do, you should ask your Majesty for help. Your Majesty also needs Zhenglong's connections in Dali. His Majesty was able to rise to power in the past thanks to Zhenglong's support. He will not let it go." No matter, let Xiyu go to see His Majesty first, and then it depends on the situation."
Li Taiqing was a soldier. In comparison, Li Jiuan was more calm.
Ling Xiyu said: "It's true what my second cousin said."
After a few more words, Ling Xiyu left the Li family.
Looking at her leaving figure, Li Jiu'an's expression became even more ugly, because he had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
Dali Palace.
Ling Shanyue was looking at the memorial in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
The eunuch on the side said: "Your Majesty, the Southwest King Lin Qingfeng has submitted his credentials to see your Majesty, and the second prince from Li Dynasty has also submitted his credentials."
Ling Shanyue looked calm and asked casually: "What are they doing?"
"As for Lin Qingfeng, he has not taken any action so far. Apart from submitting his credentials, he is traveling around the capital, which looks like a tourist trip."
Well?
A flash of surprise flashed in Ling Shanyue's eyes. Logically speaking, the most anxious person shouldn't be the other party. Why...
"Mysterious."
He snorted and then said: "Since he wants to travel, let him travel for a few more days."
"yes!"
The eunuch responded.
At this time, another eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xiyu wishes to see you."
Ling Shanyue had a flash of unbearability in his eyes, and then nodded, "She's here after all, let her in!"
The eunuch responded and retreated. Soon, Ling Xiyu walked in.
"Xiyu has met the emperor brother."
Ling Xiyu bowed.
Ling Shanyue smiled and said: "Imperial sister, there is no need to be polite. It's been a long time since we last seen each other. How are you doing?"
Ling Xiyu said: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang. Xiyu is fine, but Zhenglong has some problems. I hope Brother Huang can help."
Ling Shanyue glanced at Ling Xiyu, and then sighed, "I already know about this. Dali just sent someone to deliver the credentials."
A flash of surprise flashed in Ling Xiyu's eyes, and she quickly asked: "Brother Emperor, what about Zhenglong..."
"Not urgent!"
Ling Shanyue smiled and picked up a memorial from the imperial case, "This is the letter of credence sent by Dali. The imperial sister may wish to take a look at it first."
The eunuch on the side took the letter of credentials and handed it to Ling Xiyu.
Ling Xiyu looked puzzled and quickly took the credentials and took a look.
The next moment, her face instantly turned extremely pale, and she shook her head repeatedly, "This... this is impossible, brother emperor, this is clearly an attempt to impose a crime. How could Zhenglong collaborate with the enemy and treason!"
Lingshan Yue said: "I am also very doubtful, but Dali's words are conclusive. He said that Tianlang Pass was breached from the inside. He also said that your daughter Rongrong was not Lin Qingfeng's prisoner at all. When they were in the southwest, she and Lin Qingfeng comes in and out at the same time, the relationship is extraordinary, there is no restriction at all."
"In addition, when Lin Qingfeng sent troops to Dali, she also accompanied him without any restrictions. In the end, he was completely intact. Lin Qingfeng also gave her a lot of food from the southwest."
Ling Xiyu quickly said: "Rong Rong bought those by herself, not from Lin Qingfeng..."
Ling Shanyue said: "Doesn't this further prove that she is not restricted at all? If she was a prisoner, how could Lin Qingfeng treat her so kindly?"
Ling Xiyu said anxiously: "Brother Emperor, this is simply a crime. Rongrong has been innocent since she was a child. She had no choice but to be separated from Weifeng..."
"how about you?"
Ling Shanyue asked, "I heard that this time you came to Yongchang in Lin Qingfeng's car. Lin Qingfeng did not hesitate to ride the horse himself, but also gave the car to you?"
The voice was questioning.
Ling Xiyu froze and didn't know how to answer.
yes! How could she answer? The two of them should be considered enemies.
But in the end, she came to Yongchang in the other party's carriage.
"Brother Imperial, it's not what you think. Lin Qingfeng doesn't know the identity of my sister at all. My sister's carriage was damaged due to an attack by bandits. Later, Lin Qingfeng was worried that my sister would delay her trip, so..."
"I heard about it!"
Ling Shanyue said, "I also heard that Lin Qingfeng had escaped from the canyon. When I learned that you had not come out yet, I specially arranged for someone to go to the canyon to rescue you."
"Let's not talk about why you and Lin Qingfeng went on the road together. Let's just say that he is a southwest king who went deep into the hinterland of our Vientiane Kingdom, even without caring about his own safety, just to save you. Princess, do you think outsiders will believe that you have nothing to do with him? "
Ling Xiyu was completely dumbfounded.
Because she found that she couldn't explain it clearly and didn't know how to explain it.
Ling Shanyue continued: "If it were for other matters, I would definitely try my best to help Zhenglong, but this matter involves collaborating with the enemy and treason..."
He shook his head and sighed, looking helpless, "I am also the king of a country, and I will never tolerate this kind of thing, so..."
"Brother Emperor, it is impossible for Zhenglong to collaborate with the enemy and treason. This is simply a frame-up by the Dali Imperial Master..."
Ling Xiyu wanted to say something else.
Unfortunately, Ling Shanyue had already interrupted her, "It's fine if Rongrong is ignorant, but what about you? This matter has not reached Dali yet. Once it reaches Dali, Zhenglong's charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason will almost be confirmed. You How can I help Zhenglong?"
"However, you are my imperial sister after all. I will try my best to negotiate with Dali and save Wei Feng and Rongrong. However, the Tiger and Wolf Army are only afraid of..."
