The emperor's face turned cold, he slammed the table and stood up, his majesty suddenly revealed.

He looked directly at Ling Qianyi with stern eyes, and said word by word:

"Defu, send the young marquis out!"

Ling Qianyi felt a lump in his throat, as if something was blocking it. When he wanted to say more, Defu pulled him out in panic.

Hey!

Please say less.

If the emperor gets angry, he can't control himself.

In the end, Ling Qianyi went out unwillingly, with a sullen face that looked particularly ugly. He was still very angry when he left the palace.

The Emperor and Prince Li must have a little secret!

What did Zong Zhengli say to the emperor to make the emperor favor him so much!

What on earth did Zong Zhengli do?

He frowned and prepared to go home to ask Marquis Dingguo and the princess for help. When he reached a certain place, he was suddenly stopped by someone:

"Ling Qianyi."

"Um?"

I looked back subconsciously.

At the intersection of the two streets, a slender young woman walked slowly. It was Gu Qingqing, the only daughter of the Gu family.

Ling Qianyi frowned:

"Why is it you?"

Gu Qingqing looked at him with a smile:

"After all, you and I have been engaged for more than ten years. We have been together for so many years. Aren't you happy to see me?"

“…”

The marriage proposal was just wishful thinking of the elders, and he never liked her.

Ling Qianyi was in no mood to say more and was about to leave.

"Don't you want to save King Chen?"

A sudden voice from behind stopped Ling Qianyi in his tracks.

He turned around suddenly, "What do you know?"

wrong!

He suddenly realized:

"It was the Gu family and Prince Li who teamed up to make a move that caused my uncle to lose the battle! Isn't that right!"

He figured it out.

It must be like this!

Gu Qingqing just smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, and walked slowly towards him: "You don't need to know what the Gu family did. You just need to know that my Gu family has been in the iron business for hundreds of years and has all kinds of elite weapons. As long as the Gu family helps, King Chen will definitely return safely."

No.

With Prince Li targeting him, Huns colluding with him, and Gu family stepping on him, it would be difficult for Zong Zhengchen to return from the Northern Frontier.

Ling Qianyi looked at her coldly:

"You, the Gu family, are in cahoots with Prince Li. Aren't you afraid that your deeds will be exposed and the emperor will punish you?"

Gu Qingqing laughed.

Punishment?

Her Gu family has been harmed by Qin Ye to the point where it is now, so why should she be afraid of being punished?

"Ling Qianyi, you are only half right. The Gu family has indeed cooperated with Prince Li. We are targeting Prince Chen just to vent our anger."

"But I thought of you."

"For you, I can, on behalf of the Gu family, resolve the past grievances with Prince Chen's Mansion and make peace as before, and do my best to help Prince Chen return triumphantly, but I have only one request."

She took a step forward and stood in front of him.

Looking directly into his eyes, I spoke two words very clearly:

"Marry me."

.

Chen Palace.

Because of Qin Ye's instructions, Jing Yi took only two days to report the specific battle situation far away in the northern border back to the imperial capital.

really.

King Chen was defeated.

Moreover, the situation is gradually developing in a negative direction.

"Miss, according to investigation, the Huns have sophisticated weapons of all kinds. It is obvious that someone is supporting them behind the scenes. They are familiar with the tactics and formations used by King Chen to send troops, forcing King Chen to retreat several miles and lose two cities in a row." Jing Yi reported.

The Huns grew up on the vast grasslands of the northwest and made their living by animal husbandry.

Speaking of war horses, the Huns' horses are the best in the world.

But when it comes to weapons, they basically have knives, wooden arrows, and handmade weapons, nothing else.

It's easy to guess that the Gu family must have been secretly providing weapons to the Huns, and with the instructions of King Li, the three of them formed a united front to deal with King Chen together.

King Chen has wolves in front and tigers behind him. With internal and external troubles, he naturally cannot win a battle.

What’s infuriating is that the emperor had no intention of punishing Prince Li, but instead turned a blind eye.

"After retreating several miles, King Chen urgently changed the formation of the Shadow Guards, but it would take at least three days. The Xiongnu struck while the iron was hot and attacked day and night, causing countless casualties to the Shadow Guards..."

Every time Jing Yi said a piece of news, the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn.

Qin Ye pursed his lips:

"Have you found out who are the people who are transporting cold weapons abroad?"

"Those merchants are all from the Gu family." Jing Yi said, "They were ordered by the Gu family to support the Xiongnu. In addition to providing weapons, they also provided practical strategies, ideas, and various teaching methods."

Qin Ye frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

What good does it bring to these traitors who bring the enemy into their homes?

"The Emperor still doesn't care?"

Jing Yi nodded:

"The Emperor is just like usual, attending court, working, and sleeping. He said that everyone recognizes Prince Chen's ability, so... don't worry about it..."

“…”

The emperor doesn't care, but Qin Ye can't just sit back and watch.

The battle situation in the northern border was not ideal. Zong Zhengchen was in a passive state and was attacked from both sides. The situation was critical.

She couldn't sit still any longer and stood up suddenly.

"Miss, you absolutely cannot leave the imperial capital in your current situation!" Before she opened her mouth, Jing Yi noticed her intention.

Qin Ye pondered:

"Of course I won't take risks with my child. Jing Yi, quickly prepare some sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal. I need to get something."

Jing Yi was puzzled: "Sulfur?"

Yue'er was puzzled: "What do you need saltpeter for?"

Princess Tong touched his head and said, "You still need charcoal? It's summer, Xiaoye, are you cold?"

Qin Ye pursed his lips and said nothing, but there was something else in his eyes.

One sulfur, two nitrogen and three charcoal are the formula for making bombs.
