exposed
Everyone was somewhat familiar with the guard who was escorting the person. He was Jiang He, who had always followed Luan Zhengya. At this moment, he walked in very rudely, pushing a woman.
In the hall, some people vaguely suspected something, and Qin Ziwen's expression was the most volatile. Everyone else's emotions had shifted, but he and Zhang Wenhe seemed to know everything. Suddenly, sweat broke out on his forehead.
The woman's clothing looked very familiar, and the Ministry of Rites official's eyelids fluttered as he took a closer look. He glanced around and saw the same expression as his colleagues.
If this person was pretending to be the princess, wouldn't Prince Zhen'an have almost gotten into trouble?
As expected, Luan Zhengya revealed everything this person had done. She had pretended to be the Princess of Zhen'an, intending to steal secret information, and when that failed, she even attempted to assassinate the Prince of Zhen'an.
"I don't know, does Prime Minister Zuo know about this?" Luan Zhengya's eyes were deep, and there was a hint of anger in her expression as she looked at Zhang Wenhe.
He had always known that this person had been secretly contacting the grassland tribes. He just shouldn't have taken action against Qin Yuyao. If he had previously wanted to let the young emperor practice on his own, now he wanted to do it himself.
Zhang Wenhe's breathing became heavy for a moment, but he pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what the prince is talking about. Now that the princess and Princess Shengyang are missing, it must be someone who took action in secret. Maybe the two of them were captured together."
Upon hearing this, Luan Zhengya's eyes, which had always been as cold as ice, suddenly erupted with murderous intent. The officials standing behind him couldn't help but be a little surprised and looked around at the two men.
It felt as if the Left Prime Minister was deliberately trying to provoke Prince Zhen'an. However, Zhang Wenhe's plan was ultimately doomed to fail, as another wave of footsteps entered.
A man in black, covered in wounds, was kicked in the knee and fell to his knees with a heavy thud. The man in black was none other than Hei San, who had been in contact with Zhang Wenhe. He was supposed to be on his way back to deliver the message, but he was ambushed and captured.
At this moment, feeling the gazes of those around him falling on him, some of them were scrutinizing, some were hateful, and some were surprised, Hei San's mouth twitched, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile.
Now, his sins were grave. Not to mention the battles reported in the intelligence, countless soldiers and generals had died. If he had once been extremely happy, he now knew he had trusted the wrong person, and that the so-called truth was nothing but a deliberate lie fabricated by that person.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo should be familiar with this person. I think this person should be happy to say things that Prime Minister Zuo is unwilling to say." In the quiet hall where you can hear breathing, Luan Zhengya's voice with a chill sounded.
Zhang Wenhe suddenly felt his eyes sting, sweat dripping into them. He turned to look at Qin Ziwen, who had been staring at him, and a malicious smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Your Majesty, I don't know! I have never had any connection with the Left Prime Minister. Even the recent incident with the princess was done by the Left Prime Minister himself!" Qin Ziwen knew that the building was about to collapse as soon as he saw Heisan. Now he had no choice but to take the initiative and tell everything to make up for his mistake.

What happened in the court had nothing to do with Qin Yuyao who was far away in Taoyuan Village.
Now Shengyue's high fever has recurred. If he was not very familiar with the herbs growing in Taoyuan Village, he would not be able to save this person.
Qin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief as she placed the wet cotton cloth on the man's forehead again. It was then that she discovered the man, who had been unconscious for several days, had actually opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Yuyao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and hurriedly helped the other person up: "I was worried about you, thinking that the high fever had subsided, so why didn't you wake up."
Hearing Qin Yuyao's voice, Sheng Yue curled her lips and smiled: "I made you worry."
Shaking her head, Qin Yuyao thought that these days, apart from waiting for news from Momo, she was also taking care of Shengyue, so she didn't feel too tired.
"I have already sent someone to spread the news, but now we can only wait here. No one is chasing us anymore, so I guess they have let this place go." Qin Yuyao smiled gently, and then heard the other person's stomach suddenly make a 'gurgling' sound.
Sheng Yue immediately pursed her lips and turned away, not wanting to reveal her embarrassment. However, Qin Yuyao didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"You've been in a coma for two days. It's time to eat something." After saying that, she stood up and brought the rice porridge from the table behind her.
Although Sheng Yue had hidden her feelings of admiration deep in her heart, she suddenly felt a warmth in her eyes. She could not help but lower her eyes, allowing herself to focus only on the rice porridge in front of her.
These foods were brought by other children in Momoto Village. Those children had probably not seen Qin Yuyao for too long and did not even remember that she was the eldest daughter of the Qin family farm who lived at the end of the village.
I just thought that she was prettier than any other sister in the village. Although I was told not to tell anyone about it, it was something that would slip out when it was spread among the children.
Taoyuan Village actually has a much larger population than other villages. Nestled near mountains and rivers, with fertile land, many families can live well without having to go to the town to beg.
But no matter how good a village is, there are bound to be some bad apples. For example, the hunter Wang at the head of the village has captured many wild animals for the village in his life, even killing wild boars as tall as a man.
Now that he was old, he still had to support himself. It was all because of his ungrateful son, who would often take away the family money to gamble away.
After four or five days, he would return reeking of alcohol or with bruises all over his face. Wang Yong, though his name contained the character "Yong," was a truly reckless man.
Or perhaps he was a lazy scoundrel who didn't know how to respect his parents and only cared about his own happiness. Now at the age of 29, he was still alone.
Today, when I heard those little kids talking about the beautiful sister under the waterfall, I immediately had a guess.
A few days ago, a group of people came to the village, saying they were looking for a girl. Now it seems that she might have been hidden by these kids.
Wang Yong shuddered as he thought of those vicious people. But now he couldn't find them, and they were actually hiding.
I guess that girl wouldn't dare to go out casually. Thinking of this, Wang Yong's eyes flashed with greed.
They say he's a gambler, but he's been around for so long and no one cares. Others in the village like him usually buy wives.
But ever since the establishment of the academy in the city, he couldn't even find a matchmaker who would pay him to buy a wife. He remembered how Hunter Wang had scolded him a few days ago, saying that if he didn't have a wife, he couldn't expect to get money from him anymore.
Wang Yong came up with a plan. He quietly returned home, took his father's machete, and headed towards the waterfall that the children mentioned.
Inside the thatched hut, Qin Yuyao took the dried herbs back inside. The sky was rapidly fading, and dark clouds were gradually moving in. It was likely that a heavy rain would soon arrive.
Inside the room, Shengyue, though still a little pale, was already feeling much better. She was now sitting upright on the bed, with a piece of letter placed on the coffee table in front of her.
Although both of them were out of danger, thinking of the consequences of her disappearance, Sheng Yue took advantage of her clear mind and recovered body to write a letter.
"If we want to send it out, I'm afraid we have to wait for Momo to come after the rain. If you and I go out now and meet those who are chasing us, we will be walking into their mouths." Although Qin Yuyao didn't know what he wrote and didn't want to find out, she still explained it to Sheng Yue.
Nodding, Sheng Yue was not overly anxious. In fact, if he hadn't been worried about his sister missing out on a good opportunity, staying in this thatched cottage with Qin Yuyao would actually satisfy his inner secret satisfaction.
"It's okay. Now that things have come to this, it won't be too late to wait a few days. My royal sister is a person of great strategy, not to mention she has many advisers around her. I don't think those uncles will cause any trouble." Sheng Yue coughed twice, her tone showing trust in her royal sister.
Qin Yuyao felt relieved knowing that he had something in mind. The sound of rain outside the window grew louder, and her thoughts could not help but drift away.
The first time I met Luan Zhengya was on a rainy day like this, but now she is missing, and I don’t know what the situation is like over there.
I think he was too busy. After all, the princess of the grassland tribe was lost together with his own queen. It was horrifying to see them lying there.
Qin Yuyao sighed slowly, picked up the used dishes and was about to lift the curtain to go out.
Then she saw someone hiding from the rain outside the door. Their clothes looked like they belonged to the village. However, this was the first time Qin Yuyao had seen an adult from the village since she came to the thatched cottage.
Wang Yong cursed in his heart that the heavy rain came suddenly. He had just wiped the rain off his face when he turned around and saw a fairy-like person.
She had a slender figure and eyes as bright as the stars in the sky. Wang Yong swallowed his saliva and said, "What a beauty..."
Thinking of this, Wang Yong couldn't help but take a step forward and was about to grab Qin Yuyao's hand. She quickly dodged and asked, "Who are you?"
As soon as she said this, Qin Yuyao knew that her question was unnecessary. This person was obviously from the village, and she was afraid that she would not be able to remember who he was even if she asked his identity.
In the past, it was usually Nanny Liang who went out, and she usually stayed at the farm.
"This is not the place for you. Leave now." Qin Yuyao glared at the man in front of her. The sound of rain was so loud at this time that Sheng Yue had not noticed anything wrong outside even through the door curtain.
Wang Yong chuckled, his greed becoming more apparent. Hearing Qin Yuyao's words, he wasn't afraid, nor did he show any intention of leaving. Instead, he moved even closer.
"Stop pretending. You must be here to escape. Those people are still staying near the village. If you listen to your Grandpa Wang and let me touch you, I won't tell anyone about your presence here." Wang Yong said as he slowly walked towards Qin Yuyao.
His eyes seemed to have seen some delicious food, or perhaps some kind of delicious food. He rubbed his hands together and rushed towards Qin Yuyao, his face full of obsession.
