Originally, Emperor Dayu did not intend to deal with these matters in the hall, but seeing Ye Sheng's appearance, he had no choice but to deal with them.
"Come here, bring Qi Yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yu brought Qi Yuan and several of his deputy generals up.
However, in order to prevent Qi Yuan from swearing, Han Yu and the others had tied them up and gagged them.
At this moment, seeing Qi Yuan's miserable appearance, Queen Dayu could no longer sit still.
"How dare you, Dugu Xin, resort to lynching? What? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Dugu Xin curled his lips, looked at Queen Dayu coldly, and then handed over all the evidence of Qi Yuan raising rats.
Upon seeing this, the chief eunuch immediately stepped forward and presented all the evidence to Emperor Dayu.
Originally, Emperor Dayu was also very angry when he saw Dugu Xin arbitrarily dealing with Qi Yuan.
However, when he saw the evidence presented by Dugu Xin, he became even more angry.
"Damn it! Damn it! Not only did they mobilize troops without authorization, but they even dared to use the corpses of my people and soldiers to feed poisonous rats."
"Qi Yuan, do you really think I'm dead? Come, throw Qi Yuan and his accomplices into the Heavenly Prison. Once the Dali Temple has verified all the evidence against them, they will be dealt with together."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan started to cry "wuwuwu" non-stop. Seeing this, Queen Dayu immediately pleaded for him.
"Your Majesty, you can't just believe the Crown Prince's one-sided statement. These things are very likely fabricated."
Dugu Xin looked at the anxious queen, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his face.
"Father, I captured the man and eradicated the plague. If you don't believe me, you can just send someone to Cangwu River and ask."
Although Emperor Dayu did not want to punish Qi Yuan in front of the envoys from Daxia, he had already believed Dugu Xin's words in his heart.
Seeing that he did not object, Dugu Xin continued.
"Father, no one knows better than me what Qi Yuan and his fellow wicked men have done."
"So, I, your son, dare to ask Your Majesty to hand this matter over to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Without waiting for Emperor Dayu's consent, Empress Dayu took the lead in opposing it.
"Your Majesty, this cannot happen. There are already many loopholes in this matter. If we leave it to him, he will definitely confess under duress."
"Also, no one in Dayu's story contracted the plague from rats, so it's not certain whether the things he said actually happened."
"Your Majesty, my brother has fought for Dayu for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Your Majesty must not trust treacherous people and let loyal ministers down."
Emperor Dayu frowned, and Dugu Xin saw that he hesitated, so he continued.
"Father, Qi Yuan deliberately chose to raise rats at the border to prevent them from being discovered and reported to you."
"Father, think about it. If the people on the border get sick, it will inevitably infect the people of Daxia who are closest to them."
"And if the plague spreads from Dayu to Daxia, it will not only destroy the peace between the two countries that the imperial sister has painstakingly established through marriage."
"It will also make those who love my father, Dayu, hate him."
"If this leads to war, and someone uses the plague to achieve ulterior motives, then the empire that my father worked so hard to build will be..."
Dugu Xin paused for a moment deliberately when he said this. Sure enough, Emperor Dayu's brows became more and more furrowed. Dugu Xin sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
"Father, this matter is of great importance. You must be vigilant and not allow this villain's evil scheme to succeed."
Emperor Dayu was troubled by the quarrel between the two. Seeing that neither of them would give in, Emperor Dayu had no choice but to speak in a cold voice.
"I have already made a decision on this matter. You two don't need to argue anymore. If you are guilty, I will not let you off lightly. If you are innocent, I will not wrongly accuse you."
"Today is a great day for the marriage delegation to visit, but I am old and unwell. Prince, please host a banquet tonight to entertain our distinguished guests."
Seeing this, Dugu Xin had to give up arguing. Although the queen had no choice, it was better than leaving it to Dugu Xin to deal with.
Seeing the impatience in Emperor Dayu's eyes, the two had to give up for the time being.
"Everyone, I'm truly sorry to have embarrassed you. You must be tired after the long journey. Why don't you go to the inn and rest first? We can discuss anything else another day."
Ye Sheng saw the perfunctory look in Emperor Dayu's eyes and had to stand up and salute.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. We will then withdraw."
"But Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree to it."
Emperor Dayu was a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to let Ye Sheng speak.
Ye Sheng did not mention the matter of Cangwu Mountain and Qi Yuan again, but pleaded.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xinya has not seen her mother for a long time. Please grant me your permission to bring the princess to the palace to meet the queen."
When Emperor Dayu heard this, he naturally would not refuse, so he nodded.
"As it should be. Ever since Princess Xinya got married, Concubine Shu has been thinking about her. It would be good for you to go and see her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Father."
The two men saluted, Emperor Dayu waved his hand, and then asked Dugu Xin to invite them to leave.
Everyone went to the post station to tidy up first. After everything was ready, Dugu Xin personally took Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng into the harem.
In the harem, Concubine Shu had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw Princess Xinya, the mother and daughter hugged each other.
After a long time, the two separated, and Concubine Shu then looked at Princess Xinya carefully.
"Xinya, you've suffered a lot in Daxia. Tell your mother quickly how you're doing in Daxia and how your husband treats you."
