She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to Prince Yu, "Your Majesty, please come inside and talk. I have something to tell you."

Prince Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she didn't want to marry his son? So he walked in with trepidation.

However, he didn't expect that what he heard next was even more suffocating than he thought.

"That's right. Also, regarding what happened at the mine, the late emperor raised nearly 10,000 soldiers and colluded with the ministers in the court. The emperor suppressed the matter, deceived everyone, and pointed the finger at Mobei. Although I don't know whether King Huxie made up a lie, these are indeed the facts."

Prince Yu's body shook involuntarily. He held onto the table and gasped for air...

“This king, this king has guessed it before… but I didn’t think about it too deeply… Hahahahaha… It’s true, it’s true…”

He walked out laughing, his back showing a haggard and lonely look.

After Prince Yu left, Lin Wanwan lost her spirit and sat at the table in a daze.

At night, Shen Mo came and stood quietly at the door looking at her, his eyes full of sadness.

Lin Wanwan raised her hand and beckoned him to come over and sit down, then poured him a glass of water. "I only have water here, so you can make do with it."

"sorry……"

Shen Mo's lips were tightly pursed, his hands were clenched into fists, and they were faintly pale.

"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't cause any of this. You are also a victim."

He slowly took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lin Wanwan.

She took it and read it, muttering, "Qi Chong's Travels? Sounds so familiar!"

"Well, this book was given to my brother by you. I didn't know the secrets inside until I read the last two pages. Then I realized something was wrong. You see, the glue on the corner of the paper is loose and warping. It was glued together artificially. After we carefully separated them, we found something else inside."

Lin Wanwan pushed aside the two pages of paper, and a map suddenly appeared in front of her. She moved closer to look at it carefully.

"The secret passage under the capital? Isn't this the secret passage that I took when I was kidnapped? How come there is a map here?"

"Later we discovered that not only the last two pages, but also the previous papers contained various evidences, including evidence of officials' corruption and bribery, and private trafficking of salt and iron. Most importantly, it contained details of the late emperor's alchemy. The book was intercepted by the emperor before it was sold, and Qi Chong's property was confiscated and he was questioned. Many people kept silent about the matter for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

With the Dingfeng County incident, we are even more certain, but this is a royal scandal, and the emperor will not let it leak out. I have been looking for an opportunity to tell my father, but I don't know how to start. He has regarded Mobei as his mortal enemy in his life. If I tell him before the war, I am afraid he will choose to die in battle like my eldest brother and father..."

Lin Wanwan gently stroked the pages of the book, somewhat understanding his thoughts, and smiled faintly: "Is this why you don't want to kill Duan Qianyu?"

“Just one of them.”

He looked up at Lin Wanwan, suppressing the jealousy in his heart, "Second, you don't want him to die, I will follow your idea. He could have dodged that sword, but he chose to die with me..."

"Alright! Stop talking!" Lin Wanwan slammed the table and stood up, her eyes red. "I've already told you that I won't forgive him! He let him live well, but he chose to die. And you! If he wants to die, let him die! Why are you rushing forward! Do you have to go with him to be happy? You two..."

Shen Mo stood up, took a big step over and hugged her tightly, "Wanwan, don't be angry, it's my fault, I won't mention it again, please don't be angry, I just recovered, I shouldn't have..."

"Shen Mo, you know, people who know nothing are the most pitiful. Just like you and Shen Li are also looking for the truth, whether it is good or bad, you just want an answer. The answer is dead, but people are alive. What to do is not decided by you and me."

Shen Mo kissed her forehead, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stroked her cheeks with both hands, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Wanwan. Actually, before I came to the border, I promised the emperor that I would not tell my father about this. I am very happy to know that you told him."

Lin Wanwan snorted and pushed him away, "I'm afraid there are more than just this one condition!"

Shen Mo chuckled.

"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. If we win the battle, you will allow me to marry you."

He paused, raised his hand to straighten her hair, and continued, "Wanwan, you are so powerful, the emperor will definitely be wary of you, and he will also be wary of my background, and he will not let us be together. Now the situation is different. After returning to the capital, my father will hand over his military power and become an idle prince. I have already handed in my answer sheet. When I go back, I will go back to Yun'an County with you, okay?"

Lin Wanwan slapped his hand away and grinned, "Okay, if you really come back to the village with me, then I will accept you as my husband. Listen carefully, the premise is that you come back with me!"

She emphasized each word.

"good."

After seeing Shen Mo off, she breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was settled. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to share it with 857, but then she remembered that it was gone.

However, she won't be alone anymore. She raised her hand and touched her belly, smiling gently.

Two days later, the army returned to the capital, and the people in the city saw them off all the way. They had stayed here for so many years that they had developed feelings for the city and were reluctant to leave.

The carriage that Lin Wanwan was riding in was very spacious. It was obvious that the craftsmen had really put in a lot of effort. Sitting in it was very stable and not bumpy at all.

She was very pleased with the carriage, but she had to get rid of the two things that were in the way.

"Wanwan, there are plenty of carriages. Let him get off. I will take care of you here."

Lan Wu rolled her eyes at him, looked at her fingers and said, "No, Wanwan, the journey is long. What if you lose your appetite? I have to watch over you myself."
