When it comes to this matter, it is a long story.

Song Linfeng explained to Wei Rou the incidents that had happened in Beijing during the recent period without haste.

When Jiang He arrived in Yongcheng before, he was vague. Wei Rou only guessed roughly, but he didn't know exactly what the situation in Beijing was like.

Song Linfeng said it in more detail.

It turned out that ever since Gu Xi, Wei Rou and his party left Beijing, the emperor had accused Gu Xi of treason to the world.

Wei Rou knew about this a long time ago, but what she didn't know was that there were other things involved in this matter.

For example, Princess Lengyue, who was married from the Hanyue Kingdom, did not believe that Gu Xi would do such a rebellious thing, and went to the palace to rectify Gu Xi's name, which angered the emperor.

However, due to the identity of Princess Leng Yue and the relationship with the princess' mother, the emperor did not punish her, but sent her back to the residence of Li Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Naturally, Li Qi didn't believe that Gu Xi would do such a thing, but he spoke lightly and his whole family relied on him, so he could only endure it.

Princess Lengyue had a rift with him because of this, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not compatible, so she packed her bags and went back to Cold Moon Kingdom without saying a word.

Wei Rou had only heard about Master Li talking about Leng Yue's return to Hanyue Kingdom before, but she didn't expect it to be for this reason.

But she always felt weird, if it was just for this reason, it would be unreasonable for Leng Yue to go back to Leng Yue Kingdom in a fit of anger.

Seeing the confusion on Wei Rou's face, Song Linfeng explained: "Your Majesty has been afraid of the Hanyue Kingdom for a long time, and has already changed his mind."

"But isn't it already married to the Hanyue Kingdom, why should I be afraid?"

"The emperor of the Cold Moon Kingdom suffered a sudden heart attack and died not long ago. The queen also followed. Now it is Princess Leng Yue's elder brother who is succeeding to the throne."

In this way, it makes sense.

Originally, the emperor had the intention of mobilizing the Hanyue Kingdom. If he hadn't been concerned about the queen of the Hanyue Kingdom, he might have done it long ago.

The emperor wanted to get rid of the serious trouble of Hanyue Kingdom, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to find an excuse to raise troops.

No wonder she asked Li Qi to coax him back. Li Qi had a complicated and helpless look on his face.

I am afraid that he also knew that the emperor had such thoughts in advance, so that Leng Yue returned to the Hanyue Kingdom safely. Even if the two countries meet each other, she can still be protected by others in the Hanyue Kingdom, instead of becoming a handle to hold the Hanyue Kingdom hostage in Daqing. On the contrary, it is more difficult for the two to settle their suspicions.

Thinking about it this way, Wei Rou began to sigh for what happened to Master Li and Leng Yue.

After all these changes, I don't know whether the two can rebuild the old relationship.

Before she could think about it, Song Linfeng continued.

Now Emperor Daqing is not only interested in Hanyue Kingdom, but also wants to take this opportunity to clean up the court and remove all of Gu Xi's contacts in the court.

Here we have to mention Duke Wei and Prime Minister Song.

There is no other reason, except for these two people who have a little relationship with Gu Xi, the others have nothing to do with it at all.

After all, one is Wei Rou's second uncle, and the other is Wei Rou's adoptive father, who is with Wei Rou, so it probably has something to do with Gu Xi.

It's just that these two elders can be regarded as the ministers of the court, and they can't move easily.

"Father had expected it a long time ago. He said goodbye to His Majesty and returned home, and quietly left the capital with his mother."

As for why it was quietly, Wei Rou and Song Linfeng knew it well.

If you don't leave early, I'm afraid you don't know what cruel things the emperor will do.

"Then why does elder brother still work in the court?"

Song Linfeng smiled slightly.

"If you don't do this, how can you hide it from His Majesty? How can you cooperate with your brother-in-law?"

When saying this, Song Linfeng and Gu Xi looked at each other, and they smiled knowingly.
