[Min Qiu actually came to the capital, could he really be wrong? ]
No, that's too much of a coincidence.
"I saw that this carriage looked luxurious, so I stopped it to ask for directions."
Concubine Xian suppressed her surprise and said calmly, "Where do you want to ask for directions, old man?"
Min Qiu took out the letter from his body, walked to Empress Xian and handed it to her.
"This is where my apprentice lives, but he's not in the capital right now. Could you help me find the Prime Minister's Mansion mentioned in the letter?"
Empress Xian looked at the contents of the letter and found that Li Yunhe had indeed asked Min Qiu to come to the capital and go directly to the Prime Minister's residence to find him.
She handed the letter back to Min Qiu.
"It's Elder Min. The Prime Minister's Mansion is not far ahead. I'll have someone take you there."
“No, no.”
Min Qiu put away the letter and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Thank you for the directions. No need to trouble you."
Empress Xian didn't say anything more and got into the carriage.
The carriage started moving again. Empress Xian looked at Yu Yiluo, who looked worried, and chuckled.
"Are your doubts still not dispelled? It doesn't matter. When the emperor knows that Elder Min has come to the capital, he will definitely invite him to the palace. We can then find out the truth."
…
As Empress Xian said, when the Emperor learned that Min Qiu had arrived in the capital, he asked Eunuch Cao to personally invite him into the palace.
Min Qiu was surprised when he saw Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo. "It turns out that the two people who helped me show the way were Concubine Xian and the little princess. I am so blind."
Yu Yiluo looked at Min Qiu inconspicuously, without finding any flaws.
When he heard this, he curled his lips meaningfully.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Min? It's normal not to recognize each other when walking on the street."
The emperor offered Min Qiu a seat and waved his hand for Eunuch Cao to serve tea.
"Minister Li is not in the capital right now. He has gone to Yueqing. Elder Min, you should stay in the capital for a while. I think Minister Li will return to the capital soon."
Elder Min thanked him and sat down. He took the tea from Eunuch Cao and put it aside, saying respectfully, "That's exactly what I meant."
"I heard that Li Yunhe's teacher is very powerful."
Yu Yiluo looked at Min Qiu with feigned curiosity, "Are you really that powerful?"
"Luo'er, don't be rude."
Although it was clearly a scolding, the emperor said it in an extremely gentle voice, making these seemingly scolding words seem like words of endearment.
"This must be the little princess, I've heard of her before."
Min Qiu looked at Yu Yiluo with a kind smile, "I am just an ordinary person. What people say is exaggerated and cannot be taken seriously."
"Is that so?" Yu Yiluo's face was filled with disappointment. "I thought you were capable and wanted you to help find my uncle."
"Is it General Jin?"
Min Qiu's face showed pity. "I heard about this yesterday from Prime Minister Li. I've heard of General Jin's bravery. I think he'll be able to turn this bad situation into good fortune."
"General Jin was ambushed at the border. I'm at a loss as to what to do. I wonder if Elder Min has any strategies."
"Your Majesty, you are praising me," Min Qiu stood up with a look of panic on his face. "How can I, a commoner, show off in front of Your Majesty and discuss government affairs?"
The emperor saw his frightened face and slowed down his voice.
"Mr. Min is too modest. I allow you to discuss political affairs and help me with some advice."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't know much about border affairs."
The two chatted for a while before the emperor ordered Min Qiu to be escorted out of the palace.
After he left the imperial study, the emperor looked at Yu Yiluo with a smile.
"Luo'er, are you trying to test this old fox Min Qiu?"
Yu Yiluo raised a sly smile, "Dad and Mom can see that it's a test, so he can definitely see it too."
She was just testing to see if he would make any move.
[Why is Min Qiu in the capital at this time? Logically, he should be planning something more important.]
[Unless his so-called surprise attack wasn't successful, he would have thought about infiltrating the enemy and understanding their movements so he could proceed to the next step.]
"Dad, it's time for the Fourth Brother to go out."
The Emperor and Yu Yiluo smiled at each other, "Luo'er and I are thinking the same thing."
After receiving the secret order from the emperor, the fourth prince took his men and the newly developed mechanical bird and secretly left the city and headed for the border when night fell.
…
For half a month, everything in the capital was as usual, so calm that there was not even a hint of undercurrent.
The war that the ministers expected did not come.
Yu Yiluo was busy for half a month and completely forgot about her adopted cousin Qian Jue. When she received news from Qian Jue, Qian Jue had already left the capital for Li Country.
The letter only mentioned that Doctor Qian was missing and could not be contacted, without any other details. Yu Yiluo handed the letter to the prince.
"My dear Crown Prince, I am now 90% certain that the person behind these vagrants is Min Qiu."
Although she still doesn't know why Min Qiu did this.
The prince read the contents of the letter and nodded.
"The so-called extraordinary weapon, I think only someone with medical skills like Qian Shen Yi can practice it."
"Qian Zhong definitely didn't agree to Min Qiu."
Yu Yiluo spoke with a firm tone, meeting the Crown Prince's puzzled gaze and explaining, "Before, those big men wanted to capture the Third Emperor's wife and brother. What did you think, Crown Prince?"
"Luo'er said that because Divine Doctor Qian didn't agree, they changed their target and wanted to capture my third brother's wife to help train this special weapon."
The prince suddenly understood and said, "If we capture my third brother and his wife, we can then use threats to achieve our goal."
Whether they use Mu Xue to threaten Doctor Qian, or use Doctor Qian or the third brother to threaten Mu Xue, they can achieve their goal.
"That's right, it's a pity that everything was destroyed by us."
