Su Ruian did not say the following words explicitly, but his meaning was very clear.
The Imperial Household Department is now managed by the Imperial Noble Consort, and Ding You is the Vice Minister of Rites. These two people are not unrelated to the fire in the mourning hall.
The Imperial Concubine understood what Su Ruian meant and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Lord Ding and I have sent people to guard outside the mourning hall, but the fire was fierce and spread quickly, and those palace servants did not have time to rescue the concubine. Lord Ding, who went to catch the arsonist, should be back soon."
Sure enough, as soon as the Imperial Concubine finished speaking, Ding Youbi and Ling Luojin came over with their people.
"Your Majesty, I have caught the arsonist." Ding Youqi said without a word, "This person is quite skilled in martial arts. Fortunately, Lord Ling is here, otherwise she would have escaped."
Several guards brought a person in black to Emperor Jing of Wei and lifted her face. Emperor Jing of Wei was a little surprised: "You are... the maidservant beside Rong Ruo?"
At this moment, Afu did not look like a maid. She looked at Emperor Jing of Wei with a provocative look in her eyes: "So what? Su Jinwei is lucky to be alive tonight, otherwise I would send your Dayu prince to the west."
If Su Jinwei really died in the sea of fire, it would certainly cause turmoil. This would be a good opportunity for Beirong to take action against Dayu.
Emperor Jing of Wei thought he had figured out the whole thing: "The Northern Rong are really ambitious, even a little maid like you has a vicious heart."
"Father, you are wrongly accusing Beirong." Su Chenyu, who was holding the unconscious Yan Ruqin, suddenly spoke up. She handed Yan Ruqin to Wutong and Yinxing, and walked to Afu. "You are from Xixia, right? To be more specific, you are from Xixia's national teacher!"
There was a flash of shock in Afu's eyes. How could Su Chenyu guess her identity? She thought she had never exposed anything.
"I am a slave servant of Princess Rong Ruo. You said I am from Xixia. What evidence do you have?"
Seeing that Afu was still resisting, Su Chenyu immediately revealed her origins: "The position of Xixia's national master is not inherited, but selected from thousands of children. The best one becomes the national master, and the other unsuccessful ones become the most powerful weapons in the hands of the national master.
If Princess Yu guessed correctly, the Imperial Master will divide you losers into two groups, one in the light and one in the dark. People like you and Ji Ming are in the dark, sent to various countries by the Imperial Master as secret agents, waiting for an opportunity to act, right?"
This is the secret of all the successive imperial masters of Western Xia. How could Su Chenyu know it?
At this moment, fear rose in Afu's heart. Could it be that the national teacher's prophecy was really going to come true? Had the person who would overthrow Western Xia appeared?
It was also the first time for the other people present to hear the secret of the Xixia Imperial Master, and they looked at Afu with different eyes again.
"Don't talk nonsense here."
"If Princess Xu is talking nonsense, why are you so anxious?" Su Chenyu asked, "This Xixia state teacher is really amazing. He has planted you in various countries as secret agents. I know your ultimate goal is not Beirong, but Dayu."
Su Chenyu looked at Afu's gradually pale face and changed the subject, "I heard that every time a national teacher takes office, he will make a divination for the fate of Xixia. Why do you target Dayu so much? Could it be that the divination made by the current Xixia national teacher is related to Dayu?"
Afu was amazed by Su Chenyu's keen insight and reasoning ability. How could this person be so terrifying?
Even so, Afu still held her ground: "I am obviously a maidservant beside Princess Rongruo, but you insist on saying that I am a member of Xixia's national teacher. What are you thinking?"
"Afu, before you lie, you have to clean up the flaws that have been exposed!" Su Chenyu smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on Afu's body, "Rong Ruo doesn't like sandalwood, but she smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on you when the princess first saw you. Afu, those habits engraved in your soul, you can't change them in this lifetime, right?"
