Just as Xie Shu received the news, another piece of news reached Xiao Chenyan even faster.
The old emperor issued an edict to go to Nanling, and he returned to Beijing.
Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu guessed that the old emperor and the Wu clan were about to start making moves.
As soon as the two returned to the palace, they saw Situ Jing waiting at the gate with a serious expression.
After entering the mansion, Situ Jing couldn't even wait to go to the study, "Something happened!"
His face was solemn, as if he was both happy and angry, and he directly handed a secret letter to Xiao Chenyan.
After reading it, Xiao Chenyan stopped walking abruptly, his eyes fixed on the last sentence of the secret letter:
The Qingwu County of Zhenguohou Mansion is held hostage in the Hu people's royal court!
The secret letter was crumpled in Xiao Chenyan's hands, and his eyes were as dark as the sea.
Qing Wu came over and stared at the letter in his hand: "What does the letter say?"
Situ Jing opened his mouth to speak, thinking about something, then glanced at Xiao Chenyan, and finally said:
"The Hu people's royal court has sent an envoy to Dayong, and the envoy has already arrived at the palace."
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows: "Hu people's envoys? If they want to talk to Dayong, they must pass through the northern border, right? They have already arrived in the capital, and you just received the news?"
Situ Jing also looked embarrassed. This matter was indeed puzzling to him.
The Northern Border was not impregnable, but it was impossible for the Hu people to come and go as they pleased. However, the other party came without making any noise and only entered the palace to meet the old emperor before they received the news. This was a slap in the face for the Northern Border Army!
"Now the important thing is not how the Hu people came to Beijing, but the news they brought..."
"What news?"
Xiao Chenyan suddenly handed over the secret letter. After Qing Wu took it and took a look at it, the warmth in her eyes gradually disappeared, and her eyes turned cold.
At the end, she almost laughed out loud.
She was a hostage in the Hu king's court, how could she not know?
This is not the most ridiculous thing. The ridiculous thing is that the grievances of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion were washed away in this way!
Back then, it was indeed Empress Yun who colluded with the Hu people and sold out the information. When Xiao Chenyan revealed the matter in the court, he was suppressed by the old emperor.
And now, that waste in the East Palace is useless, so you just take out the waste and use it, right?
Qing Wu had been wondering before how the Hu people had crossed the northern border, but now it was clear to her.
The Wu clan's troops have already penetrated deep into the grassland. The Hu people's royal court is probably now under the control of the Wu clan!
But the performance in this play is so ridiculous!
In her previous life, she was dismembered and cooked by the Hu people, how could she still be alive? Now this Hu people's royal court, the "Qingwu County", is obviously a fake!
Qing Wu found it funny and actually laughed out loud.
What was the old emperor trying to do by playing such a trick with the witch clan? He had refused to clear the injustice of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion before, but now he just brushed it off lightly, just to send this fake back to Dayong?
No, or rather...
Qing Wu looked at Xiao Chenyan. The other party wanted to send this counterfeit to Xiao Chenyan.
When she looked over, Xiao Chenyan didn't even look at her.
“Xiao…”
Before Qing Wu finished her words, she heard Xiao Chenyan: "I'm going to the Prince Hui's Mansion."
Qing Wu frowned. He wouldn't really believe the nonsense in the secret letter and think that the 'Qing Wu Jun' was her, right?
Seeing this, Situ Jing felt bad and quickly explained, "Princess, please forgive me. This is related to the Zhenguo Marquisate. It's normal for the prince to be confused because of his concern."
Qing Wu said nothing.
Situ Jing was complaining in his heart, not understanding why his own prince had become so stupid at this time.
"That... that little Qingwu princess is an old friend of the prince. Her brother Yun Zheng and the prince are even closer. But don't worry, princess. There is absolutely nothing wrong between the prince and her!"
"That little princess was only ten years old when the accident happened. The prince only treated her as a sister!"
Qing Wu looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "Be a younger sister?"
When her younger sister still bullied her by pressing her on the bed?
Situ Jing had no idea that Xiao Zheng was right in front of him, still swearing and cursing on behalf of Xiao Chenyan.
Qing Wu just felt it was ridiculous. The Wu clan and the old emperor really disgusted her this time.
Do you really think she is dead?
Do you really think her identity is so easy to replace?
Okay, okay, that’s how we play it, eh?
The secret letter was burned to ashes in Qing Wu's hands.
Situ Jing felt a chill on the back of his neck as he watched from the side, and he groaned in his heart. In the past, they also hoped that Qing Wujun was still alive.
But now...what is this?
That person is alive, but now everyone can see that the "fake play has become real" between Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu.
White moonlight and cinnabar mole, how to choose?
Especially, is this female ghost princess easy to mess with?
Situ Jing thought that Xiao Chenyan really regarded that 'Qingwu County Girl' as his sister, but today's incident was obviously weird, that 'Qingwu County Girl' hadn't returned yet, but he already smelled a bloody odor!
