"You don't know how worried I was when I discovered the Holy Master's conspiracy today. Now I realize that all my worries were in vain. You all seem to be very capable." Su Yue looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Han and complained in a low voice.
Xiao Han chuckled, "If the princess hadn't discovered such important news, we would still be very passive by then."
"Yes, if the princess hadn't discovered this, we would have been caught off guard. Thanks to the princess." Xiao Yan is a complete sister-controller, and he doesn't need a reason to praise his sister.
"Really?" Su Yue looked suspicious.
"Of course it's true." Xiao Yan nodded seriously.
"Indeed, I still need to study those letters, but the princess's help is indispensable." Xiao Han agreed.
"Okay, let's go now? Can we leave as planned tomorrow? How about two days later and I go talk to senior brother?" Su Yue thought, and found out that she had to plan ahead.
Xiao Yan also looked at Xiao Han. Since King Jingnan was willing to take action, it would be the best.
"No need, we will set off as planned. Just ask Xiao Yi to go there tonight, he will take care of things."
"Okay, then I won't worry about it blindly. Let you men handle the big things. I'll go see my sister-in-law." Su Yue felt relieved after settling a big thing.
"Sister? What about me?" Su Qian realized that he had nothing to do and didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Neither of us can help, so let's go play alone." Su Yue waved to him and left.
Su Qian looked depressed, "Forget it, I won't stay here anymore, it's boring. Second Prince, Your Majesty, I will leave the palace first." He bowed his hands slightly to the two of them and left.
Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and ran away, looking at Xiao Han, "Your Highness, let's have a game?"
During this trip to Northern Qi, the two of them got to know each other a lot and often played several games of chess.
Xiao Han nodded slightly, "I'm very happy."
Daqing, Imperial Palace Study Room.
"General, Yu'er..." Emperor Wu got the news that Su Yu was assassinated on his way back.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Yu'er is fine. He has secretly returned to the capital. I just received the news from him last night. He is probably afraid that the news of his attack and death will spread back to Kyoto and scare his family."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Are you injured?" Emperor Wu said with concern on his face.
"Some minor injuries, nothing to worry about."
"That's good. This time, Prince Jing is really... oh, so ruthless and ruthless..." Before Emperor Wu finished his words, his eyes became colder.
Su Huan's expression remained unchanged, "Old King Jingnan has returned to Beijing."
Emperor Wu immediately sat up straight, "Seriously?"
"Yes, I went directly to Wei Chen."
"Did he say anything?"
"He... asked the minister to bring a message to the emperor." Su Huan hesitated.
Emperor Wu frowned slightly, feeling that his words were not good, "What words?"
"The royal family owes them the Xiao family, and he wants to get it back. I hope the emperor will not interfere."
The emperor was silent. He sighed, closed his eyes and thought. The royal family owes the Xiao family too much, especially the lives of Xiao Han's parents... Alas, it has come to this point. Father, there is nothing I can do this time.
He opened his eyes and said, "General, please arrange a meeting between the leader of the Dragon Guard and the old King Jingnan. I also want to know the truth about that year as soon as possible."
"I mentioned this matter to the old King Jingnan, but he said that we don't need to worry about it. He will contact the leader of the Dragon Guard himself. He also said that... what the emperor wants to know, he will wait until he is finished. , I will tell you personally."
"He..." It seems that the old King Jingnan knew very well about what happened back then, "That's all, I can't control many things, the cycle of cause and effect."
"Also," Su Huan's face darkened, "Weichen has checked and found that the Queen Mother is indeed connected with Northern Xinjiang. Although it is secretive, Weichen still found some clues."
"The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang is not a fool. Who is she colluding with?"
"The current political situation in Northern Xinjiang is unstable, and the eldest prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely. The emperor of Northern Xinjiang prefers the eldest prince to be the crown prince, but the holy master is more optimistic about the third prince. So the factional struggle is serious. The one who secretly colludes with the Queen Mother is the holy master. "
"I don't know much about this holy master. General, does he know?" Emperor Wu rubbed his brows tiredly.
"The Holy Master of Northern Xinjiang actually doesn't have much information about him from the outside world. He is a very mysterious person. But his status can be said to be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people. In many aspects, even the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang cannot influence his decisions. .For example, the candidate for the crown prince of Northern Xinjiang needs to be calculated by the saint master. It can be said that whoever he asks to be the crown prince will be the crown prince. Under the saint master, there is a saint son and a saint girl, and the saint son will take over. A holy master, and the holy girl will enter the palace as the queen."
"Oh? Didn't the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang act very cowardly?" Emperor Wu looked gloating.
Su Huan:······You have the nerve to laugh at others? Who is more useless than you, the emperor?
When Emperor Wu saw Su Huan's silence, he felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that his father-in-law was looking down on him...
"Ahem, this Imperial Advisor has never been seen since he returned to Kyoto. Has the General found anything?"
"Wei Chen wants to report this to you, but the Imperial Master is not in the mansion. The people in the mansion can be easily disguised by others."
"What? Fake?" Emperor Wu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had planned so many things and couldn't make any mistakes.
"Yes, it has been confirmed that it is indeed false. We haven't found out where the person is yet."
Emperor Wu stood up anxiously and paced back and forth in the room, "The national master holds a military power. If we cannot control his movements, we will be very passive and be attacked from both sides."
"Wei Chen thinks so too. This Imperial Preceptor has always lived in seclusion. It is estimated that no one except the Queen Mother knows his current situation." Su Huan's eyes darkened slightly. He had always felt that the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Imperial Preceptor was very subtle.
There is no doubt that the Imperial Preceptor is from the Queen Mother's side, but the Queen Mother seems to have too much trust in him. What kind of interest relationship can be so strong?
"Leave this matter to me. I haven't talked to my queen mother for a long time, so it's time to go and pay my respects." Emperor Wu said with a meaningful expression.
"yes."
"By the way, Yan'er's poison has been detoxified. As long as he takes good care of his body, there will be no problem. In half a year at most, his body will be just like a normal person." This is the only good news that Emperor Wu has heard in recent days.
Su Huan looked surprised, "This is great news. When will they return to Beijing? Do we need to move in advance?"
"No need. They are not going back to Kyoto. They will go to Baiyun Mountain first." Then he thought of something, "General, I want to meet with the old King Jingnan. Please help arrange our next actions. Let’s talk after meeting with the old King Jingnan.”
"Yes, I'll go right away. But old King Jingnan..." I can't guarantee whether he wants to see you or not.
"I know, just send me a message."
"······Yes, I will accept the order."
