Chapter 395 She Confesses
When he was young, the Wei family had a problem, and Wei Zhe's leg was already injured. But he still had to pull his younger brothers and sisters to support the crumbling Wei family.
Under such circumstances, Wei Zhe did not forget him when he left the capital, and secretly left him a lot of things and guards.
Xiao Ji said nothing, but he remembered it in his heart.
Although he didn't spend much time with the Wei family, in his heart, the Wei family were the closest to him.
Xiao Ji stepped forward and personally helped Wei Zhe up so that he didn't have to lower his head and bend his back.
Wei Zhe said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."
After a pause, Wei Zhe said, "I went there last night to deliver medicine to Princess Huyan. The person I really know is not Princess Yu."
"It's Princess Heart."
Xiao Ji frowned, looking puzzled. Who is this?
Xie Yao quickly searched for this person's identity from her memory, "The second princess of Northern Frontier, Princess Huyan Xin?"
Wei Zhe suddenly raised his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Your Majesty knows?"
As for the princes of the Northern Frontier royal family, Xiao Ji naturally knew them all very well. He also knew the princesses of the current royal family.
But Huyan Xin had passed away for three years and was an unpopular princess, so few people paid attention to her in the Northern Frontier.
The reason why Xie Yao knew so much was that after she knew about Hu Yanyu's affairs, she made a special trip to inquire about the matter.
And this Princess Huyan Xin...had the same experience as Huyan Yu.
"Yeah." Xie Yao's eyes flashed with regret, "I heard that Princess Hu Yanxin is as her name suggests, kind and gentle."
Wei Zhe's eyes were filled with tenderness and nostalgia, "Your Majesty is right, Princess Xin is...really good."
Seeing this, what was there that Xiao Ji didn't understand?
The deceased Princess Huyanxin was Wei Zhe's sweetheart.
Looking back now, Wei Zhe's proposal to return to the North yesterday also seems to have a clue. Wei Zhe wanted to be closer to his sweetheart.
"There are five princesses transformed by the noble concubine of Northern Frontier. Princess Xin is the oldest among them all. She is wholeheartedly protecting the other four princesses and wants to endure more pain for them."
"But the other three princesses, except Hu Yanyu, passed away one after another. Princess Xin brought this matter to the attention of the Northern Frontier Emperor, but the Northern Frontier Emperor was not moved at all."
"Princess Xin didn't want Princess Huyan Yu to follow in the footsteps of the other three princesses, so she wanted to take Princess Yu away."
"It was under such circumstances that I met Princess Heart."
When talking about the past, Wei Zhe's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"Princess Xin was already deeply poisoned and in great pain every day. I went to look for medicine for her."
"But when I went back to look for the medicine, Princess Huyanyu had already been found and taken away by the Northern Frontier Imperial Concubine's people."
"Princess Xin was left behind because she was too weak to move. Before she left, she asked me to... take care of Princess Yu."
Wei Zhe said ashamedly: "I didn't do it either. Because Princess Xin and Princess Yu escaped, the Imperial Concubine's control over Princess Yu became extremely strict."
"When I saw Princess Yu again, her body had become very weak. I could only look for medicinal herbs everywhere. Last night... I went to deliver the medicine."
Xie Yao asked: "Can this medicine cure it?"
Wei Zhe shook his head, "It can't be cured, it can only alleviate the pain."
"It is also thanks to the doctor arranged by Your Majesty and Your Majesty that he helped me a lot." Wei Zhe said sincerely.
Xie Yao paused and asked, "Should we ask those doctors to go and see Princess Huyan?"
Although Xie Yao was very angry about what Huyan Yu did this time, if Wei Zhe asked, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji would be willing to give him face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but it is not necessary." Wei Zhe said, "She will not agree."
He didn't even know if she would use the medicine he sent her.
At this moment, a clear female voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wei Chan requests to see you."
Wei Chan is here.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at Wei Zhe at the same time. It was obvious that Wei Chan came because of Wei Zhe.
Wei Zhe lowered his eyes and said nothing against it.
Xie Yao said: "Come in."
Wei Chan quickly entered the palace, "Your Highness, Madam."
"Achan." Xie Yao stepped forward and helped her up, "Stand up and talk."
Wei Chan was a smart person. As soon as she heard how Xie Yao addressed her, she understood what Xie Yao meant.
He immediately stood up and said, "Cousin."
Wei Zhe, who had originally maintained his composure, had never expected that Wei Chan would really go along with it and now call him by such a name...it was really an act of usurpation.
Xie Yao smiled happily and took Wei Chan's hand and sat down.
She and Wei Chan had always had a very good relationship. They had addressed each other like this when Xie Yao was still the Crown Princess.
Since it was a family matter, Wei Chan didn't feel any pressure when talking about it.
"Cousin, I already know that my brother went to see Princess Huyan today." She entered the palace just for this matter.
Of course, she wanted to speak for Wei Zhe.
But judging from the current situation...it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Xie Yao said, "My cousin has just said that as long as Princess Huyan cancels her pursuit of Xuanshu, we can let this matter go."
Although Huyan Yu's men attacked Wei Chan and Wei Zhe's courtyard last night, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had arranged sufficient manpower as they had been prepared.
So last night, only the people of Xia State were injured, and no one died.
In addition, considering Huyan Yu's situation, she doesn't have much time left, so even if she is forgiven, she will still lose her freedom and be confined in the house.
Xie Yao was naturally willing to give this face.
Wei Chan immediately looked at Wei Zhe. With such conditions, it could be said that His Majesty and His Majesty had been very tolerant.
Wei Zhe was about to speak, and said, "Huyan Yu, she should not have done anything to Xuan Shu."
All three looked at Wei Zhe.
Wei Zhe said: "Huyan Ye doesn't really love Huyan Yu. Huyan Yu won't avenge him."
Xie Yao thought about it and felt that it was really the case.
In order to avoid coming to Xia Kingdom as a hostage, Huyan Ye even abandoned his own brother Huyan Yuan. How could he possibly love his half-sister from the bottom of his heart?
But at this moment Xie Yao was a little confused.
She didn't know what Hu Yanyu was trying to do.
Wei Zhe seemed to know Xie Yao's doubts. Just as he was about to explain, Si Nan's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Huyan asked to see you. She said she has something important to say."
Confessing again?
Xie Yao is now somewhat indifferent to Hu Yanyu's requests for a meeting. He always says a lot to her every time. And from what she sees now, what Hu Yanyu said to her before...
There is not a single true word.
Wei Zhe guessed something and said, "Your Majesty, you may want to meet her."
Xie Yao said: "Announce."
Today, Hu Yanyu is less refined than before, but he looks more comfortable and natural.
When she entered the hall, her eyes fell on Wei Zhe at first.
He rolled his eyes, then bowed to Xiao Ji and Xie Yao, "Hu Yanyu pays respect to your majesty, the queen."
Huyan Yu did not hide her dislike for Wei Zhe at all, so Qi Yu and others in the hall saw the contempt clearly.
Xie Yao just felt that Huyan Yu really had a feeling of letting himself go.
The whole person becomes more real.
"Princess Huyan, why did you ask to see me today?" Xie Yao asked.
Hu Yanyu said openly: "I am here to confess my guilt."
"It was me who sent assassins to kill Xia's ministers Wei Zhe and Wei Chan last night. All of this was ordered by the Northern Frontier Emperor Hu Yanyuan."
"Your Majesty and Queen, please punish me."
Xie Yao understood something. She looked at Hu Yanyu and said, "The princess did it on purpose."
Up to now, Huyan Yu's purpose has not been for her mother, nor for revenge for Huyan Ye, and she has no intention of killing Xuanshu and Wei Zhe and Wei Chan.
All of Hu Yanyu's previous actions were to attract hatred for Northern Xinjiang.
Just like her confession at this moment, she blamed all the guilt on herself and Hu Yanyuan of Beijiang.
Hu Yanyu’s real target is the northern border.
In other words, the Northern Frontier Royal Family.
Hu Yanyu and Xie Yao looked at each other and knelt down directly. "The Queen has a keen eye. I knew that my poor acting skills could not be hidden from the Queen."
"I don't dare to ask the Queen to help me get revenge. I just have something I want to give to the Queen."
After Hu Yanyu finished speaking, she took out a thin piece of paper from her sleeve, placed it between her hands, knelt on the ground and respectfully presented it in the direction of Xie Yao.
Wei Chan stepped forward, took the paper from Huyan Yu's hand, and then handed it to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao originally didn't think that Huyan Yu would take out anything that could impress her, but when she really unfolded the paper and saw the contents clearly, her expression changed slightly.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Hu Yanyu and asked, "Is this true?"
"Whether it is true or not, the Queen can verify it herself." Huyan Yu was not afraid at all. This time, she was also plotting an open conspiracy.
The Northern Frontier was right there, and she didn't believe that Xia Kingdom didn't want it.
In addition to the reasons of justice, she also thoughtfully found reasons for the private affairs of the Emperor and Empress of Xia.
Xie Yao did not question what Huyan Yu had just given her. After all, it was very easy to verify this matter.
"Princess, aren't you afraid of being cursed by the people of Northern Frontier for this action?"
Huyan Yu sneered, "Spit? I'm going to die soon, why should I be afraid of those things?" After she dies, who cares about the flood!
Huyan Yu continued, "Queen, you are a good person. Even if you attack the northern border, you will not randomly massacre innocent people in the northern border."
"Besides, from what I've seen along the way, the people of Xia Country live much better than the people of Northern Xinjiang, and it looks like the situation will get better and better."
"So, I'm still helping them."
"The Huyan family, the Northern Frontier court... they should have ceased to exist!" There was no concealed hatred in her voice.
When she and Sister Xin were being tortured together, people in the court and the country were naturally not completely unaware of it.
But everyone chose to remain silent.
No one stood up to say a word for them, but Hu Yanye did express concern after she was captured.
Almost treating her like a fool.
She is not stupid. She has experienced sincerity and can naturally distinguish between what is true and what is false.
She had long suspected that Xuanshu had attacked Huyanye, but not only did she not remind Huyanye, she even did some cleanup work for Xuanshu to the best of her ability.
Help Xuan Shu gain Hu Yanye's trust.
Hu Yanye, damn it!
There was silence in the hall.
Huyan Yu was also very tactful and quickly said, "Queen, I'll wait for your news." She knew that the Emperor and Empress of Xia would definitely discuss this matter, and they would not discuss it in front of her.
She wouldn't get an answer if she stayed here any longer, and it would only be an eyesore.
After Hu Yan finished speaking, he stood up and left, exiting Fengyi Palace.
Xie Yao then handed the thing that Huyan Yu had just given her to Xiao Ji, with a hint of anger on her face.
There was nothing else written on the paper except the poisonous insect that had infected Xiao Ji previously.
Although the incident was caused by the late emperor, it was also related to the Northern Frontier, which was involved.
I have to say that Huyan Yu's move today really grasped her heart perfectly.
Neither Xie Yao nor Xiao Ji were the kind of people who would mobilize troops to fight for personal reasons, but Beijiang... was truly ambitious.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
Today, the Northern Frontier is still in civil strife, but the Xia Kingdom has been recuperating and developing well. In addition, Zhenbei Hou Pei Chen and Wei Er are both in their prime, and it is the right age to work hard.
If we wait until Northern Frontier has recovered, I am afraid that if Xia Kingdom tolerates it, Northern Frontier will take the initiative to attack Xia Kingdom.
Xiao Ji only needed to look at Xie Yao's expression to understand what Xie Yao was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Madam."
Wei Chan also stepped forward and said, "Northern Frontier is ambitious and his heart is punishable. We must not indulge him."
"Now... is the opportunity."
Huyan Yu had made it very clear just now that she was willing to admit that her actions last night were all instigated by Huyan Yuan.
As long as Huyan Yu stood up, Xia State's attack would occupy the absolute moral high ground.
Perhaps before the Xia people could attack, Huyan Yuan was killed by the court officials from the northern border.
Wei Zhe also said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
Obviously, they all agreed.
Although casualties are inevitable in war, if we do not take control of the ambitious Northern Frontier now that we have the chance, war will inevitably break out again in the next few years, decades, or even decades.
Just like twenty years ago, Northern Xinjiang was still subservient to the Xia Kingdom and sent Huyan Yuan to the Xia Kingdom as a hostage, but in the past two years, the country suddenly took action.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes!"
Huyan Yu left Fengyi Palace, but before he left the palace, he was invited to the Yangxin Palace.
When Huyan Yu heard the servant coming to invite her, she knew what choice Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had made. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she turned around and followed Zhu Qing to the Yangxin Palace.
She looked up at the blue sky and felt so happy that she seemed to be flying.
The news quickly spread throughout Beijing.
Last night, an assassin tried to kill Lord Wei and Little Lord Wei, two heroes of the Xia Kingdom. After investigation, it was determined that the person behind the plot was Princess Huyan Yu from the Northern Frontier.
The emperor and empress were furious.
Princess Huyan Yu testified in court that everything was arranged by the new emperor of Northern Frontier, Huyan Yuan, and she was threatened and had to obey his orders.
The emperor and empress did not punish Princess Huyan Yu severely because she had turned over a new leaf and turned to the light. Instead, they imprisoned the princess in the capital.
In less than half a day, the news had spread to everyone in the capital. Everyone in the capital was cursing the Northern Frontier's wolfish ambitions and wanted to kill them.
Naturally, the Northern Frontier Shichen also heard the news quickly. While the envoys were furious, they also couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Did His Majesty the Northern Frontier really give Princess Yu such an order?
Otherwise, where would Princess Yu get the manpower?
