"Quickly, stop the Duke of Dingguo!" Xiao Chenyi shouted hurriedly.
The Duke of Dingguo wasn't moving very fast, and the other officials nearby had already pulled him back.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Chenyi had no choice but to issue an edict to clear Su Wenzhou's name and order Su Wenzhou to go to Mohan immediately, as the army could not be without a general for even a day.
As for Wei Xuebin, Xiao Chenyi only temporarily relieved him of his generalship, and everything would be discussed after the man was captured, which indirectly protected the Wei family.
After court, Xiao Chenyi went to Cixi Palace and told Empress Dowager Wei about the matter, which involved the Wei family.
Xiao Chen also did not believe that the Wei family would betray the Great Chu, as this would be tantamount to betraying him. He and the Wei family were originally one, and betraying him would not benefit the Wei family at all.
Empress Dowager Wei also refused to believe it, saying, "Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about this. Be careful not to fall into someone else's trap. The Wei family is bound to you. What good would betraying the Great Chu do for the Wei family?"
Think about it, if you punish the Wei family this time and they fall, what will you rely on? You'll become someone who can be manipulated at will.
In my opinion, this is nothing more than a trap set by someone to undermine you.
Your Majesty, not only must you not attack the Wei family, but you must also protect them in order to confront them.
Now that your uncle only has two sons left, the Emperor can promote some trustworthy people so that his power in court won't be too weak.
Xiao Chenyi naturally knew who the "someone" the Empress Dowager was referring to was. Xiao Yanchu had married Su Ruojin and was now tied to the Su family. The Xiao family army plus the Su family army had become a major concern for him.
Without the Wei family, Xiao Chenyi would have to worry at any time about whether he could hold onto the throne.
Even if he were still in that position, he would have to rely on the Regent and the Su family for everything. How could an emperor tolerate that?
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know what to do." Xiao Chenyi had clearly taken Wei Taihou's words to heart.
Empress Dowager Wei breathed a sigh of relief; in this way, the Wei family was saved.
However, Xiao Yanchu and the Su family are truly despicable!
If given the chance, she would spare no effort to eliminate the Su family and Xiao Yanchu!
At the General's Mansion, Su Wenzhou received the imperial edict. Military orders are absolute, and he was to set off immediately for Mo Han.
With tears in her eyes, Madam Su saw her son off and returned to the mansion. She saw a fleeting glimpse of blue in the corner of the wall, sighed inwardly, and said to Granny Deng, "Let's go to the Buddhist hall."
Lately, Mrs. Su has been preoccupied with her daughter and son who have gone out, and hasn't had much time to pay attention to Qin Xiaoyan.
Not only did Mo Han know that Xiao Jin had gone, but she also knew that Mu Yao had gone with Deng Yi.
Although Mu Yao left the Su family after the last incident, how could Madam Su not care about the daughter she raised? It's not like she could just abandon her like that.
Before setting off, Su Ruojin reassured Madam Su that she would help take care of Mu Yao and that Madam Su did not need to worry too much.
Mu Yao left the Su family, but she didn't actually do anything to harm them.
Considering that Mu Yao had taken good care of her mother before Su Ruojin returned to the Su family, Su Ruojin didn't mind protecting her life. As for how Mu Yao was doing with Deng Yi, that was not her concern.
During the time Qin Xiaoyan was at the Su residence, Su Wenzhou often went to the Buddhist hall to ask Qin Xiaoyan to deliver some things, but Qin Xiaoyan always refused.
Madam Su knew about this, but she was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation.
The Su family doesn't have the concept of social hierarchy, but marriage should be based on mutual affection. If Miss Qin really doesn't want to, then so be it.
Today, with her son leaving home for war, Madam Su also wanted to meet this Miss Qin.
Upon arriving at the Buddhist hall, Qin Xiaoyan was kneeling before the Buddha in worship. When she saw Madam Su arrive, she quickly stood up and bowed.
The gauze on Qin Xiaoyan's face had been removed by this time, but the wounds on her face were still being treated with medicine, making her look somewhat creepy.
