Although one traitor died, another was caught, and the latter one was not very tight-lipped.
Soon, with the efforts of Marquis Zhenbei, they found the person behind the scenes - Prince Rui.
Prince Rui's goal was to kill Prince Yong, Yan Cheng.
"Qu Zhaoyue? How could it be him?"
Yan Cheng really didn't expect that the real person behind the scenes was Qu Zhaoyue.
He understood that Qu Zhaoyue wanted to kill him. Perhaps she knew from the reborn person that the Seventh Prince would lead the Northwest Army in rebellion in the future, so she planned to strike first?
When he was in the capital, the Seventh Prince encountered several assassination attempts, but he managed to escape safely every time.
At that time, Yan Cheng suspected that it was Qu Zhaoyue who did it, but he had no evidence.
Now that he has come to the North, he has been given a title. Qu Zhaoyue may think that he can become another Seventh Prince, and that if he rebels, it will cause trouble for him, and he will be the one she wants to kill.
But he didn't expect Qu Zhaoyue to use this method.
Did Qu Zhaoyue borrow the wrong person to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Is Qu Zhaoyue now so crazy that she disregards the safety of Da Xia?
Didn't he think about what would happen if the Hu people did not attack him only as agreed, but turned their blades against the Northwest Army?
Without the Northwest Army, Daxia would definitely be in chaos.
Yan Cheng clenched his palms, feeling that Qu Zhaoyue was becoming more and more abnormal.
A person like him who puts his country and family in an unjust position for his own benefit has absolutely no qualities of a wise ruler.
Yun Cong'an's nephew Yun Rongyuan slammed the table and stood up, his face full of shock and confusion.
"Is King Rui crazy? Alliance with the Hu people is undoubtedly courting disaster. Isn't he afraid that he will end up losing himself in the end?"
Yan Cheng: "When Qu Zhaoyue was in the capital, he teamed up with Tang Xilu to frame court officials. He has been crazy for a long time."
"What? There's such a thing?"
When the Marquis of Zhenbei was young, he was framed and his entire family was almost executed. He couldn't stand people who cheated and lied the most, and his disgust for Qu Zhaoyue continued to increase in his mind.
"I will send the evidence to the capital as quickly as possible to see how the emperor will deal with him."
In the past, Yan Cheng could still be sure that Emperor Jingxi would help Qu Zhaoyue cover up, after all, Qu Zhaoyue was the son of the woman he loved most.
But now, thinking about how Emperor Jingxi had driven all the princes out of the capital like a madman, Yan Cheng was really not sure what Emperor Jingxi would do.
If Emperor Jingxi dislikes Qu Zhaoyue, then there will be something interesting to watch.
I don’t know if the beloved woman will be helpful in mediating between father and son.
Yan Cheng picked up the tea and put it to his lips to hide his gloating smile.

Emperor Jingxi was furious, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He never imagined that Qu Zhaoyue would be so bold as to make moves in the northwest.
He knew very well that Qu Zhaoyue had grown up and had her own thoughts and plans, but he never expected that she would dare to act so recklessly.
Even he himself doesn't dare to do such a thing easily!
He hated the Marquis of Zhenbei and the King of Chu so much that he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
However, he did not dare to intervene in the military affairs rashly, because he knew very well that if it was not handled properly, if the army collapsed, Daxia would fall into a precarious and turbulent situation.
"This kid is becoming more and more lawless!"
Emperor Jingxi was so angry that his hands were shaking. He quickly wrote a letter that harshly reprimanded Qu Zhaoyue, and asked someone to send it to Qu Zhaoyue's fiefdom along with the corresponding punishment.
When Qu Zhaoyue learned that she would be under house arrest for a year and had to send money and food to the northwest, she was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep for several days.
Every time he was in a terrible mood, he would go to the basement under the room, holding a whip, and whip the man who always told him wrong things. The whip crackled, as if venting the endless anger in his heart.
If you ask why he wants to keep the man who always lies to him alive, it is of course because sometimes what this man says really comes true.
For example, he said that the tenth prince would die, and the tenth prince actually died.
But some of the things that came out of this person's mouth did not happen.
For example, he said that the Sixth Prince would die, but the Sixth Prince did not die, he was just disfigured and disabled.
For example, he said that Yan Guangyi would plot a rebellion in his fiefdom, and in the end the entire Yan family was executed, but Yan Guangyi ran to the north to serve as governor.
A long time ago, this person said that he would ascend the throne and become emperor in the future. At that time, Prince Ding, who was enthroned in the north, would rebel and capture several cities in succession. If it were not for the help of the Southwestern Army, the capital would have been captured by Prince Ding.
Qu Zhaoyue firmly believed that he would ascend the throne, and he also firmly believed that after he ascended the throne, Qu Zhaoheng would lead his troops to rebel.
Therefore, he had planned to strike first early on. However, his men were too incompetent, and after years of trying, they still failed to kill Qu Zhaoheng.
He thought that Qu Zhaoheng would go to the north to be granted a title and would fight against the Hu people in the future, so he placed his own spies in the Northwest Army in advance.
What surprised Qu Zhaoyue was that when he arrived in the north, the person who was given the title was not Qu Zhaoheng, but Qu Zhaoyun.
When he learned the news, he pondered for a moment and decisively decided to shift his target to Qu Zhaoyun.
Qu Zhaoheng and Qu Zhaoyun are twins. Twins are very similar in many ways, whether it's their appearance, personality, or behavior...
There is a high probability that Qu Zhaoyun will have the same idea as Qu Zhaoheng.
Just in case, it is better to get rid of Qu Zhaoyun.
Upon hearing that Prince Yong had gone to Kangtai City in the north to learn how to lead troops and fight with the Marquis of Zhenbei, Qu Zhaoyue immediately arranged for his spies in the Northwest Army to take action, hoping to get rid of Prince Yong in one fell swoop.
In the end, Qu Zhaoyun was safe and sound, but the person he sent died and he himself was exposed.
When Emperor Jingxi ordered people to convey the punishment and deliver the letter to Qu Zhaoyue's fiefdom, he did not ask anyone to conceal it. Now everyone who should know knows what Qu Zhaoyue did.
Qu Zhaoyue could imagine how those who had ill intentions towards him were mocking him.
One day, he even heard the servants in the mansion whispering that he only cared about his own selfishness and had no regard for the interests of his family and country.
He was so furious that he kicked a tree in half, but he also got a broken bone package, which made his already difficult house arrest even more "interesting".
More than once, he thought angrily in his heart: Qu Zhaoheng and Qu Zhaoyun are indeed his nemesis in this life. If he was born, why did Qu Zhaoheng and Qu Zhaoyun have to be born!
"Ha Qiu——"
Yan Cheng couldn't help rubbing his nose. Leng Yan immediately took the coat that Yan Cheng had hung on the screen and gently put it on him.
The ardent care and concern made Yan Cheng feel flustered and extremely soft in his heart, but he still stopped Leng Yan from trying to wrap him up like a ball.
"...I'm really not cold. There are several charcoal braziers burning in this room, so it's quite warm. Someone must have been scolding me just now."
After Yan Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "It's snowing outside, why are you here?"
Leng Yan replied, "My brother sent me a letter."
Yan Cheng took the letter and looked at Leng Yan strangely: "What do you call brother?"
“Brother!”
Yan Cheng was speechless: "..."
