The next day at dawn, in Ziji Palace.
Xiao Xia Zi and Wu Mi came to report, bringing with them the person who had poisoned someone in the middle of the night and torturing him severely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this man is a guard accompanying the Northern Desert Envoys. After interrogation, he confessed that his father was caught and beheaded by the Marquis of Changping for smuggling contraband ten years ago, so he took revenge on the Tang family and attacked General Tang Yuan." Wu Mi reported.
Tang Yuan was the eldest son of Marquis Changping.
This man also wanted to attack Marquis Changping, but Marquis Changping did not participate in horse riding and archery, so he had no chance.
The Marquis of Changping was also skilled in riding and shooting, but he wanted his son to perform more in front of the emperor, so he concealed his own incompetence to avoid the father and son from being too conspicuous.
Helian Qi frowned, "Send Meng Er over."
Meng Er had just woken up and heard that there was such a desperate person among the guards he brought with him. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he knelt down to plead guilty:
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Yan, please understand! The desire of Northern Desert and Great Yan to be friendly is clear as day and night! I didn't expect that a person with ulterior motives would sneak in and destroy the diplomatic relations between our two countries. This person is not worthy of being a citizen of Northern Desert. Please let Your Majesty the Emperor of Yan deal with him!"
Helian Qi stared at him with a heavy gaze, "Really? When you were selecting people, didn't you check their background?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor Yan, all the tribes want to send people to Dayan as envoys. To be fair, King Khan has allowed the warriors to only win the competition and be eligible to participate..." Meng'er explained weakly.
Beimo Chongwu brought together a group of warriors sent by various tribes to fight each other, and the winner would get the opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission to Dayan.
He acts in a simple and rough manner, and is not as careful and meticulous as Dayan.
"This man is a warrior sent by a small tribe. I didn't expect he had such evil intentions. Fortunately, His Majesty Emperor Yan discovered him in time, otherwise if he followed us, we would be in real danger!" Meng'er quickly used his advantage of being good at flattering and fawning.
"I will send a message to Beimo right away, asking the tribal leaders to come to Dayan in person and apologize to His Majesty!"
In order to appease the anger of Dayan, Beimo naturally did not hesitate to give up a small tribal leader.
This matter has come to an end.
But Ning Wanyin was thinking carefully. This person couldn't bear the punishment and confessed everything. It seemed that no one was instigating him...
But a good plan does not require the person behind the scenes to personally direct it.
You just need to put a person who has a grudge against the Tang family and intends to take revenge on the Tang family into the envoy group, give him the opportunity to take action, and this person will naturally do as you expect.
So, was this person selected into the diplomatic corps based on his own abilities?
There must be someone secretly looking after and helping us.
In this year's horse riding and archery competition, the eldest son of Marquis Changping won the first place and was commended by the emperor.
A little later.
Tang Miaoling came to visit Ning Wanyin with a generous gift.
"My father and brother learned that someone put food in the manger in the middle of the night. They are very grateful to the imperial concubine and asked me to convey their gratitude." Tang Miaoling presented the gift, feeling terrified:
"I was really scared! If my brother had fallen off the speeding horse, he would have been seriously injured if not dead. Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for saving my brother."
Ning Wanyin said in a deep voice: "Be careful and beware of Princess Qizhu."
Tang Miaoling was shocked. "Your Majesty, do you mean that Princess Qizhu ordered this?"
"One percent chance."
There is a 50% chance that there is no one behind the scenes.
But if someone helps secretly, there is a 50% chance that the person doing the deed is unaware of it.
Assuming that there was someone behind the scenes, the Khan accounted for 10%, the three tribes each accounted for 10%, and the other tribes together accounted for 10%.
Strictly speaking, the possibility that Princess Qizhu and the tribe behind her were behind it is only one in ten.
But Ning Wanyin never let go of any suspicion and took precautions before it happened. She looked at Tang Miaoling and said:
"Although there is only a 10% chance, if it is really her, the possibility of her attacking you is 100%."
If it was really Qizhu who plotted to murder Tang Yuan and deliberately approached Tang Miaoling, how could he let her go?
Tang Miaoling took a deep breath, "But... our family has no grudges against her, there is no reason for her to deal with us... Northern Xinjiang has not seen war for decades, it is impossible for her to seek revenge for our ancestors killing their ancestors a hundred years ago, right?"
A hundred years ago, Beimo and Dayan fought several battles.
Beimo failed to win the war, so he immediately submitted a letter of peace alliance. After that, he never dared to start a war again. He only sent princesses to marry all year round as a token of friendship.
It can't be that we have to trace back to the battlefield grudges from a hundred years ago, right?
"The motive for dealing with the Tang family is not necessarily hatred, interests are enough." Ning Wanyin said.
Tang Miaoling felt that Princess Qizhu had no motive to attack the Tang family.
But after a rough thought, Ning Wanyin thought of at least two incentives to deal with the Tang family.
But these are just speculations.
Not only Princess Qizhu, but the remaining 40% of the people may also deal with the Tang family for these interests.
"In addition to Princess Qizhu, tell Marquis Changping that he should also be careful of the Khan and the remaining tribes. Any of these are possible."
As for Tang Miaoling...
She could only come into contact with Princess Qizhu, so she just had to be wary of her.
Although Tang Miaoling didn't understand, she always believed in her cousin's words.
My cousin said these people are suspects! That must be right.
"I understand. Next time I see Princess Qizhu, I will avoid her!" Tang Miaoling nodded like a chick.
Wei Yingya, who was sitting nearby, took over the conversation, "But if she really wanted to harm Sister Tang, she could still do it secretly even if she went around her. Even if she hid in Xianfu Palace and didn't go out, she would still be hard to guard against!"
"Then...what should we do?" Tang Miaoling looked at Ning Wanyin, looking very nervous.
Wuuuu, she really doesn’t want to die!
