Chongnan's army is coming with force, as if it wants to do whatever it takes.
Changning was shocked and confused, "Ye Lanyue was captured on the front foot, and the enemy troops came to attack the city on the back foot. Is it really because of her?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "Impossible."
An idea came to her mind, and she immediately opened the curtain and walked in.
When Lin and Ye Lanyue saw her, their eyes sparkled. Apparently they had heard the commotion outside and wanted to hear what Li Qingyi wanted to say to them.
Li Qingyi glanced at Mrs. Lin, his eyes fell on Ye Lanyue, and he smiled slyly, "Ye Lanyue, do you think Emperor Chongnan really wants to steal my heart and awaken Concubine Chun and her son?"
Ye Lanyue answered without hesitation: "It's absolutely true!"
"But if that's the case, why did he gather hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city when you were captured on the front foot?"
"Of course it's to save me!"
Ye Lanyue's voice was decisive, but the two smart people, Li Qingyi and Lin, laughed.
"What are you laughing at!"
Li Qingyi looked at Mrs. Lin: "Princess Zhaoming, why don't you explain it to your good sister?"
Lin could not hide the ridicule in her eyes.
"Ye Lanyue, for many years you have used the power of the Yao clan to consolidate your position as national master. Little did you know that while those good reputations fell on you, the benefits were actually obtained by Emperor Chongnan Yin Heng."
"In the hearts of the people of Chongnan, Yin Heng knows people well and makes good use of them. He always thinks of the people, making the people peaceful and the country prosperous. He is a truly good emperor."
"Now that the Imperial Guard has fallen into the hands of Dajing, the people must be very excited. Yin Heng took the opportunity to attack Jing with heavy troops, just to fulfill his ambition that he has hidden for many years!"
Ye Lanyue's face turned extremely pale following Lin's words.
Lin sneered and said, "Are you trying to say that Yin Heng is passionate and inactive, and has only handed over the court to you for many years? You are inferior to ten thousand people, and no one can touch you?"
Ye Lanyue's breathing began to become erratic, and she looked at Li Qingyi, as if hoping that Li Qingyi would say something different.
Li Qingyi sighed, "At night, Yin Heng has been working hard for many years just for this day! He asked you to go to Jing alone at the most critical moment between the two countries to win my heart. On the surface, he believed in your ability. But after you entered Jing, I quietly cut off your support, otherwise, how could you fall into my hands so easily?"
Ye Lanyue was suddenly startled, "Didn't you cut off my escape?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "It's not me."
Ye Lanyue took a shaky breath and heard Li Qingyi say again: "I did make preparations, but I found that you have no backup at all..."
"Impossible! How could he? How could he cut off my escape route? Even if he is using me, I am valuable to him!"
"You are indeed capable and valuable, but you have forgotten that you have realized too much value over the years. If you continue like this, you will become a threat to Yin Heng. He tricked you into coming to Dajing just to take advantage of Dajing's Get rid of you! As long as you die in Dajing, the hatred of the people in Chongnan will be directed at Dajing, thinking that it was the people of Dajing who killed their good national master, not Yin Heng!"
Ye Lanyue shook her head and kept shaking her head.
Every word Li Qingyi said was right, but she still didn't want to believe it.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Li Qingyi looked at her and said calmly: "If I hang you on the city wall and ask Yin Heng to retreat, do you think he will choose to save your life, or will he continue to attack Jing?"
Ye Lanyue froze.
Although the "National Advisor" was the reason why Yin Heng launched an army to attack Jing, Dajing threatened the Imperial Advisor as a hostage, and Yin Heng had to choose between the interests of the Imperial Advisor and Chongnan.
When there is a conflict between the interests of the imperial advisor and the country, as the emperor, Yin Heng must of course protect the country and the people. It is not difficult to choose at all.
But the national master is "righteous" and "willing" to die!
Mrs. Lin sneered, "Yin Heng is so considerate, he even left you a posthumous name!"
Ye Lanyue fell to the ground, her eyes seemed to be covered with dust and her energy was gone.
Lin is the most unseen
Thanks to her virtue, "Who is a man? He is worthy of your heart and soul. Now I finally know that I regret it!"
Although Li Qingyi did not completely agree with Lin's statement, she had to admit that compared to Ye Lanyue, Lin's head was full of power and had no love at all, and he was much more sober in everything he did.
"Ye Lanyue, do you want revenge?"
Ye Lanyue suddenly looked up at her.
Li Qingyi smiled, "It seems that you want to."
******
Dajing capital city.
The turbulent undercurrents in the DPRK were suppressed before they had time to make big waves.
However, it still has to come.
On the day when news of Chongnan's conquest of Jing came to Beijing, the prince and Wei Shicheng disappeared together!
The disappearance of the prince is related to the country. Not to mention the emperor and officials, even the people have to be concerned about it.
After all, Dajing and Chongnan are at war now!
If the prince cannot be found, the people in the court will be panicked, and the soldiers at the border will be unstable. Chongnan will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and in the end it will be the common people who will be unlucky.
Wei Shicheng's collusion with the remnants of the Xi clan was not widely known, so everyone was speculating whether Wei Shicheng had kidnapped the prince, or whether he and the prince were kidnapped together.
The few people who know the inside story think it's the former.
The Wei Mansion was immediately surrounded by the Forbidden Army.
Mrs. Wei was originally arguing with Princess Yuanheng about Wei Yao's affairs, but when she saw this posture, her legs suddenly became weak. She shamelessly went to Princess Yuanheng to ask what happened and where her eldest son was.
Princess Yuanheng looked at Mrs. Wei coldly, "Your good son kidnapped the crown prince and disappeared. Why, didn't he leave a word for you, mother?"
Madam Wei was immediately dumbfounded, "Kidnapped the prince?"
She was half-blinded by the third lady Guo, her cloudy eyes widened, and her face became more and more cunning and hateful.
Princess Yuanheng didn't bother to look at her, "Does the old lady know where he took the prince?"
"How would I know!" Mrs. Wei retorted, and felt that things were too much beyond her expectation, so she said suspiciously: "It's not you who is causing trouble, right? You sent Yao'er to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. If it’s not enough, you will harm my son! He is also your husband. Without him, you are nothing!”
Princess Yuanheng sneered and said, "Without Wei Shicheng, I would still be a dignified princess. Madam, you should think about who you and the Wei family are!"
"Also! Wei Yao committed the crime of matricide, and the reason why he was able to survive is because she is my biological son! Madam, please stop worrying about this matter, and think more about when you are being interrogated. , can you explain something?"
Mrs. Wei's voice trembled, "Being... interrogated?"
Princess Yuanheng looked at her coldly, "Wei Shicheng kidnapped the prince, the old lady doesn't think that the Wei family can survive alone, right?".
Just as he was talking, Lingxi came in and reported: "Princess, someone from the Ministry of Punishment is here, and I would like to invite all the masters in the house to come and ask questions."
Mrs. Wei's expression changed, "Are you all going?"
