What happened to Chapter 69?
In comparison, the Rui Palace seems extremely deserted. To be more precise, the Rui Palace is like this all year round.
It was already late at night when Xie Chengyan arrived at the mansion. Jian Xing was still waiting for him at the door. After Xie Chengyan entered the mansion, he said, "Your Majesty, someone from the mansion escaped today and was caught by Lord Zhang."
He knew who the people in the mansion were talking about. It was beyond his expectation that she could escape. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is she?"
"In the duty room, Master Zhang was afraid she would run away again, so he tied her up with a rope."
Xie Chengyan nodded, "I understand, you can go back."
The person in the mansion they were talking about was Yan Su, who was originally the commander of the Shenji Camp. Fortunately, Xie Chengyan trusted her very much, but she actually poisoned the food of the craftsmen, causing more than 300 craftsmen to almost die. Fortunately, he got a useful person from his royal brother.
Yan Su's betrayal was so sudden. I thought that as an orphan, she would be content to get a position in the Shenji Camp, but who would have thought that her identity was not ordinary.
Later, the people from Wanhelou checked and found out that Yan Su was a cousin of the Xu family. Although they were not distant relatives, it was said that it was the Xu family who buried Yan Su's mother when she died, so Yan Su naturally owed the Xu family a favor.
The Shenji Camp was expanding at that time, and Xu Surong had long regarded Xie Chengyan as a thorn in her side, so she concealed Yan Su's relationship with the Xu family and placed her in the Shenji Camp.
I worked so hard and thought it was a real revenge, but I didn't expect there was someone behind it.
At first, Xie Chengyan couldn't understand why the Xu family sent her to the Shenjiying as an undercover agent, so why were they so sure she wouldn't be turned against them? The Xu family hadn't given her anything, yet the Shenjiying treated her like their master.
Later, Lin Yan told him that Xu Yubai, the eldest son of the Xu family, had a lover. The girl had no name and no status, not even being considered Xu Yubai's concubine. Based on the time when the girl left, Lin Yan believed it was Yan Su.
After hearing the news, Xie Chengyan rubbed his solar plexus. He didn't expect that he would be betrayed by his subordinates again since the battle of Nanyang. He immediately ordered his men to capture Yan Su alive.
Yan Su was quite capable, whether it was improving gunpowder or managing manpower, which made Xie Chengyan feel at ease. Looking at his subordinates, no one else had such ability. This was why Xie Chengyan had not killed her yet. If there was a second person to lead the Shenji Camp, he would not have to waste time on Yan Su.
The duty rooms in Prince Rui's Mansion were originally a place for servants to rest, but Xie Chengyan drove away a large number of them last year, and only a few were left, resulting in several duty rooms being vacant.
The duty room was dim, and only when Xie Chengyan opened the door did a faint light from the door shine in.
Yan Su heard the noise and struggled with her bound hands. Zhang Qiyue, who was standing beside her, saw this and said, "Don't move! You're scared now. What were you thinking when you ran away?"
Xie Chengyan patted Zhang Qiyue on the shoulder. He understood, walked to the table and lit a candle.
"What's going on?"
A faint candlelight lit up, dimly illuminating the dim duty room. Xie Chengyan squinted slightly, adjusting to the sudden brightness before opening his eyes. He heard Zhang Qiyue say, "This woman is dishonest. She was like that on the way from Nanyang to Shangjing. She always wanted to run away. I don't know what she was running for. Do you still want to go back to the Xu family?"
