It concerns the entire Yan Dynasty, and Yan Xianzhi's actions are really ridiculous. No matter how much Empress Xu pleads for mercy, Emperor Xihe remains unmoved.
"He is no longer a child. Does the Queen still want to shirk responsibility now?"
Emperor Xihe's eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and he pointed at Jiang Mihe: "The Crown Princess found out that trick, but you mother and son still blame her for not catching another thief. This is how the Xu family taught the queen, so the queen used the same method again." The method to teach the prince?!"
This was not a trivial quarrel that Xihe Di could turn a blind eye to. In fact, he had covered up so many shameful things for the mother and son from beginning to end that he could no longer count.
Empress Xu knelt on the ground in tears: "The prince was bewitched by a witch, please forgive the prince!"
Anyway, it was either Jiang Mihe's fault or Pinyue's fault. In short, it couldn't be Yan Xianzhi's fault. At most, Queen Xu would only hate Yan Xianzhi for being too stupid and would never give up on her son.
Since the cowardly and incompetent Yan Xianzhi was brought to Emperor Xihe, he could not say or do anything except shed tears, waiting for Empress Xu to speak to him.
Emperor Xihe was angry, and said angrily: "Let the prince tell himself whether it is his fault! He is addicted to women, brought dancing girls into his tent to do ridiculous things, and the secrets of the blueprints were stolen, so he has nothing to do with it." Responsibility? In my opinion, he has the greatest responsibility! If anything happens to Dayan’s empire, I will make him pay the price!"
Yan Fuguang watched coldly, and Yan Changfeng kept winking at him, asking him to comfort Emperor Xihe.
But he couldn't say anything gentle, because Dayan's present day was obtained with the blood and lives of countless soldiers.
A person who had done nothing could enjoy a stable life because he was thick-skinned. Why did Yan Fuguang excuse him?
"Father, the top priority is to recover the secrets of the people and the stolen drawings." He didn't want to hear how Emperor Xihe was angry with Yan Xianzhi. Anyway, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't kill Yan Xianzhi. no?
Emperor Xihe lost his energy, waved his hands and said feebly: "Fuguang, my father has left this matter to you."
Yan Fuguang did not accept it regardless. He said bluntly: "My son believes that the possibility of recovering is very small. I also ask my father not to have high expectations. It is best to summon the ministers to discuss if we cannot recover." , what should we do next.”
Before Emperor Xihe became perverted, Empress Xu was the first to object.
"No! Your Majesty, you must not let the ministers know about this!" Empress Xu clenched her fists and spoke firmly, "It is absolutely impossible. National secrets will be leaked into the hands of the enemy. The people will definitely panic if they find out. There is civil strife in the imperial court, how to resist the invasion of enemy countries!"
Emperor Xihe hesitated for a moment.
Yan Fuguang drew his sword angrily: "Is the Empress doing this for the sake of Yan, or does she want to protect the crown prince's status in front of the ministers?"
His question went straight to the point, and it can be said that it revealed Queen Xu's true intention to a large extent.
"At such a critical moment, instead of making complete preparations, she concealed the facts out of her own selfish interests. What is the queen's intention?"
Yan Changfeng and others also stood up to support Yan Fuguang.
"Father, it is urgent to convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures!"
"Yes, which one is more important, the prince's face, or the people of the country!"
Everyone was quarreling. Emperor Xihe frowned. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Listen to Fuguang and the others. As for the prince, take him down first."
Yan Xianzhi was detained, and Yan Fuguang led several brothers and a group of guards to chase the thief everywhere.
For a time, Yan Xian's reputation was completely ruined, and many ministers took the opportunity to depose the prince.
Even Jiang Mihe's eldest brother Jiang Feng has a lot of opinions about Yan Xianzhi.
In the tent, the brother and sister sat facing each other with serious expressions.
Jiang Feng gritted his molars and became angry: "If the prince hadn't been so dissolute, how could the secret be leaked!"
People who often go to the battlefield know that the moment of stability in Dayan is hard-won. Jiang Feng was influenced by his father and was loyal to Yan Xianzhi. At this moment, he completely despises people like Yan Xianzhi.
"Sister, you are right, protecting the prince is the stupidest thing to do, he is not worthy at all!"
Jiang Mihe lost his temper and began to comfort his brother: "Brother, what happened has happened, we can only try our best to save it. Besides, good and bad things depend on each other. I think that my father who is far away in northern Xinjiang will definitely shake his determination to firmly protect the prince. Our Jiang family will definitely find a way out that is far better than now."
Jiang Feng stood up suddenly and said in a rough voice: "I'm going to help His Highness Prince Jin!"
Jiang Mihe did not stop him and said softly: "Please pay attention to your own safety."
**
Lu Qing stayed in the tent obediently, and Brother Lan stayed by her side without crying or fussing.
After not seeing Yan Fuguang for several days, Brother Lan raised his head and asked Lu Qing: "Mother, where is your father? Where has your father gone?"
Lu Qing pinched his little face and said, "Your father has gone to catch the bad guys and will be back soon."
"Bad guy? What bad guy?"
"A thief, a bad person who steals things."
Brother Lan could now tell right from wrong. He clenched his fists and puffed up his cheeks: "Father will definitely catch the bad guys!"
Lu Qing touched his head, thinking of what happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but sigh one after another.
When the prince acted like this and failed the people's expectations, Lu Qing thought he was ridiculous.
With Pinyue's warning, Xichun and Nianxia, who were assigned to the Jin Palace, were temporarily restricted from moving. Not to mention the maids who live in the same house, they can't even become fire maids now.
"What's the sound?" Lu Qing was about to fall asleep, but was awakened by the faint sound of crying.
Ji Qin tucked her into bed and said, "It's the emperor's two dancers who were crying last time. They kept crying day and night."
Ning Huayue locked the people in a small tent. The tent was not far from Lu Qing's place, so she could hear their cries.
"Why are you crying?"
"It seems that they are not careful workers. They are afraid of being locked up or something..."
The two of them were talking in low voices, and Brother Lan opened his eyes in a daze. He moved next to Lu Qing and said vaguely: "Mom, it's noisy..."
Lu Qing closed her mouth, hugged him and patted him gently.
Only two days later, another one of these dancers was caught.
This time, she was assigned to one of Yan Changfeng's two dancers. Fortunately, Yan Changfeng did not give her a chance. The dancer tried to sneak into his camp quietly, but was caught on the spot.
Since then, a new focus has been added, and Queen Xu has become the target of public criticism.
Rumors spread everywhere that Empress Xu was colluding with the enemy, so she tried her best to persuade Emperor Xihe to reward the dancers. In fact, the real purpose was to create conditions for the craftsmen to flow into various palaces and gain access to secrets.
In the woods on the outskirts of the city, Yan Changfeng asked with a gentle smile: "How are you doing, third brother? Second brother did a good job this time, right?"
Yan Fuguang muttered: "Finally smart for once."
