Chapter 1055: Defection
"The slave doesn't know, Niangniang just asked me to pretend to be her, and said that she would come back after a while, and I can only obey Niangniang's arrangement." Yuhu knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"Yuhu, you still tell everything you know, so that at least you can live, otherwise you know what the consequences are, don't blame us for being rude to you when the time comes." Luo Qingluan's face was cold, and he asked Yuhu.
"The slave really doesn't know anything, please open the net, even if you kill the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid don't know anything...... Spare the slave and maid! Yuhu was already crying, seeing that his life was hanging by a thread.
Luo Qingluan looked at Yuhu, and didn't dare to lie when she looked at her, not to mention that she also knew Long Ning very well, and it was impossible for her to easily tell others her whereabouts and purpose.
But what can be done now?
Long Kai fled, Long Ning disappeared, presumably the father and daughter had already discussed it, and now they have been connected, right? Luo Qingluan became more and more worried, if they still didn't give up, they would do something harmful behind their backs.
"This dragon would rather know people and faces, and if there is a father, there will be a daughter."
Su Yi didn't know whether to be happy or angry, angry because Long Ning and their father and daughter had betrayed the Western Chu Kingdom, and they were happy that they had one less person who came to trouble them every day.
But she is not an ignorant person, she quickly made a decision in her heart, turned to look at the palace maid beside her and ordered: "Pass my order, transfer all the palace maids and eunuchs to Luoshui Palace, search strictly, and not allow every corner to be spared!" β
"Yes, sis!"
Pearl also knows how serious this matter is for Xi Chu, and more importantly, if this matter is done well, then her own mother's status in His Majesty's heart will definitely rise significantly.
Although she is illiterate, she still understands the truth of both prosperity and loss, and because of this, it is not unreasonable for her to be able to become the palace maid by Su Yi's side after Ruyi's absence.
Soon, the palace people quickly took action and searched Luoshui Palace.
Su Yi stood at the door of Luoshui Palace and waited quietly, her indifferent appearance made those people look sideways. Even the usually gentle and peaceful queen mother will have a day of rage, and it seems that the sky has changed.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, a little eunuch hurriedly ran towards this side with a stack of letters, shouting as he ran: "Niangniang, Queen Niangniang, I found it, I found something!" β
After finishing speaking, he waved the things in his hand, and soon came to Su Yi and knelt down in front of him and said, "Meet Niangniang." β
As soon as Su Yi heard that she had found something, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she immediately said, "Hurry up!" If you find something, bring it to the main palace and show it. β
The eunuch hurriedly handed the things in his hand to her, Su Yi took the pile of letters and quickly flipped through them, her face became more and more ugly, and after reading the content of the last letter, her face was gloomy and almost dripping.
"Long Ning! Long Kai! You father and daughter are damned! β
Su Yi clenched his silver teeth, he didn't expect that they had betrayed Xi Chu a long time ago, and they had done all kinds of heinous things.
The palace people searched out some letters between Long Ning and Long Kai, if usually, it is normal for a father and daughter to write letters, even the harem concubines cannot completely lose contact with their families, but what if they are talking about treason?
For a while, Su Yi was so angry that she held the letter tightly in her hand, she really didn't expect that one was the concubine of Xichu, and the other was the mighty marquis of Xichu, and the status of both of them was not low. Who can believe that these two people actually took refuge in Dongwan Kingdom early, and united with the enemy country to calculate their own growth of Xichu.
It's really an unforgivable sin!
What's even more hateful is that Su Yi now knows that the poisoning of the Queen Mother was actually caused by Long Ning, this discovery made Su Yi, who was already angry, even more angry, and her delicate face was full of anger.
"No, this matter must be told to Your Majesty as soon as possible!" Thinking of this, Su Yi and Luo Qingluan immediately went to the imperial study.
Nangong Qing, who was correcting the folds, saw that Su Yi was coming, put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and said to her with concern: "Ah Yi, what's wrong, I don't see that your face is not very good?" β
Su Yi's face was solemn, and he blessed Nangong Qing, and then put the letter in his hand on the table: "Your Majesty, the concubine went to Luoshui Palace today and found that Concubine Yao was gone. β
"What?" Nangong Qing was stunned.
It was true that he hadn't seen Long Ning for a long time, and he was even repulsed in his heart.
Long Kai's betrayal of Xichu, Nalan Ye had already told him, but unfortunately Long Kai fled too quickly, so he had no chance to capture him back. Moreover, for Nalan Ye's sake, after all, it is his uncle, Nalan Ye doesn't say anything, he can be regarded as keeping his hand.
Although Concubine Yao is Long Kai's daughter, it will not hurt her family, and she has entered the palace, she is his concubine, and she has nothing to do with Long Kai.
But Nangong Qing never expected that Long Ning would also disappear, as soon as Su Yi said it, he noticed something immediately, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
Looking at Nangong Qing's shocked appearance, Su Yi said: "The concubine has searched Luoshui Palace and found some evidence about Concubine Yao's father and daughter defecting to Dongwan, and the poisoning of the Queen Mother was also done by Concubine Yao. β
"Really? Show it to me! Nangong Qing's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he immediately checked the letters one by one. His speed was very fast, and he looked at ten lines, and after reading it, the breath all over his body became cold.
With a cold snort, he threw the letter in his hand on the table with an angry face.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would underestimate them and hide them so deeply! What a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous marquis, what a virtuous and empathetic Yao concubine! β
"Your Majesty, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the concubine still wants to say that Long Kai's father and daughter must be arrested as soon as possible, the two of them have a lot of secrets of our Western Chu in their hands, if these secrets are revealed, the result will be unimaginable." Su Yi said solemnly.
Nangong Qing nodded in agreement, and his gaze at Su Yi became a little gentler: "Well, Ah Yi is right, this matter is thanks to you." You've worked hard, I'll leave the rest to me, you go back and rest first. β
Su Yi understood that Nangong Qing was about to start acting, so he nodded and left the imperial study. After a busy day, she was indeed a little tired.
When Su Yi just walked out of the imperial study, Nangong Qing's gentle face immediately sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Someone, pass on my order, immediately remove Longning's Yao Guifei from the position, and Longkai's Weiwu Marquis, the two of them are demoted to commoners, and they are all wanted by Longkai Longning's father and daughter!" β
A sonorous voice sounded in the huge hall, and Sun Dafu, who had been trembling in the corner, immediately went down to deliver the decree.
Nangong Qing personally passed down the message, and the wanted warrant soon came down, and overnight, almost the entire capital knew the news. All the officials in high positions are keenly aware of the seriousness of the situation, and they only feel that this day seems to be about to change.
However, on the other side, Nalan Ye has been setting off with the team for five days.
During these five days, because of the large number of Dongwan people, the progress of the march was slowed down a lot.
Looking at the Western Chu border that was about to leave, Nalan Ye looked into the distance, and secretly thought in his heart, "As long as you cross this Western Chu border, the future will be the vast Gobi." β
It was getting late, and the night was swallowing up the light of the sky. Nalan Ye frowned, and looked at the sky, it was already late, but he didn't see a place for the army to rest, did he want to camp here tonight?
"Report!"
Hearing the voice, Nalan Ye looked at the person standing next to him at this time.
"Yuan Xing, what's the matter?"
Yuan Xing looked at Nalan Ye with a solemn face, his voice was sonorous and powerful, but there was a little indescribable emotion in his tone: "Lord Wang, just now Dongwan's envoy came over, saying that their prince's injury has recurred, and he asked to rest on the spot and let the team stop now." β
Nalan didn't speak, looked at the sky, felt the cool breeze blowing, and said in a deep voice: "No, there is likely to be a storm later, don't stop." Yuan Xing, ordered to go down, let the soldiers hold on for a while, march at a rapid pace for half an hour, and avoid this storm. β
Yuan Xing arched his hand, his face serious: "Yes." β
With that, he ran down quickly and asked the generals to inform him of the news.
However, things didn't go as planned.
Looking at Yuan Xing, who soon ran back, Nalan Ye frowned deeply: "What's the matter?" β
Yuan Xing gritted his teeth: "The people over there in Dongwan disagree, they said that the prince's injury is important, and there is no shadow of the storm or something." Therefore, they insisted on setting up camp now and letting the prince recuperate, otherwise they would not leave. β
The last few words, he said very seriously. Although Nalan Ye heard his anger, he didn't speak.
Looking at the dust that seemed to be permeating not far away, Nalan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked, bringing out a bit of coldness: "It's too late." β
Yuan Xing looked at Nalan Ye, who was talking to himself, and asked hesitantly, "I'm afraid Dongwan's side won't leave, so what should we do now?" β
The calmness in Nalan Ye's voice infected Yuan Xing's somewhat restless heart. He looked at Nalan Ye trustingly and didn't say a word.
"If you don't want to go, forget it. Yuan Xing, you hurry up and give the order now, we will set up camp in the same place. And, let those generals hurry up and arrange the soldiers on duty at night. The whole army is on high alert, and if anyone disobeysβ"
His eyes were full of cold killing intent, and Nalan Ye was stunned word by word: "Then you will not be forgiven!" β
Yuan Xing nodded without hesitation, "Yes!" However, that Dongwan ......"
Nalan Ye sneered, "Dongwan? Oh, the sandstorm is coming, they should know the news, so take it yourself. β
