The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing."

Xie Lang looked at him coldly, and seeing the look of disbelief on Emperor Jingping's face, he couldn't help but sneer.

Lian Dongshu, who was standing far behind, was startled when he heard this, and then he quickly put together all the recent events. The commander of the imperial guards showed a look of sudden realization on his face and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

From the time he put Xue Xujun in prison, to the time he brought Xue Mingyue to visit him in prison, to the time he discovered the secret passage, to the time he made a big fuss about the breakup of the relationship...

Everything was just a cover to hide his true purpose.

Using Xue Mingyue as an excuse, even if Xie Lang took the person away from under his nose, he would not be suspicious. At most, he would think that Xie Lang was angry and dissatisfied that Xue Xujun had treated her badly in the past, so he used private punishment to vent his anger.

But who would have thought that it was this matter that he took Xue Xujun away for interrogation.

"You said that His Majesty was colluding with the barbarians... Do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Yao suddenly spoke.

He raised his head and looked at His Majesty in a daze, then looked at Xie Lang and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think people will believe you just because you say something like that?"

Anyone in the court could collude with the barbarians, but how could His Majesty? !

Does Xie Lang know what he is talking about?

Hearing this question, Xie Lang just found it funny. He raised his chin and said coldly: "The memorial is right there. All the evidence is in it. Do you dare to look at it?"

...Dare to look?

Zhang Yao fell silent, asking himself repeatedly in his mind, the veins on the back of his clenched hands bulging.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lang continued, "Mr. Xue Xu has always been cautious. You asked him to be the grain supervisor and ordered him to pretend to be ambushed so that he could deliver the grain to the barbarians, but he kept all the relevant correspondence and evidence."

"It was to prevent you from settling accounts for what happened that year, so all the things were hidden in the secret passage."

Emperor Jingping’s face was pale as he stared at Xie Lang.

Even after talking about this point, he still tried in vain to stop her, "Enough, enough..." Stop talking.

There was a hint of disbelief in Lian Dongshu's eyes. After the Xue Mansion discovered the secret passage, the guards quickly took over the search for the secret passage, but his men did not find these things at all.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped.

If what he said is true, then there is only one possibility left, that most of the guards have fallen into his hands.

Lian Dongshu couldn't help but remain silent.

"Of course, his one-sided statement was not convincing enough, so I went to ask Prince Yelu for confirmation."

Xie Lang said calmly, "Coincidentally, when they went to Jin to borrow grain, they brought the letters between you and Yelu Khan, and they happened to fall into my hands."

Emperor Jingping widened his eyes and subconsciously denied: "Impossible, the letters were burned on the spot."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Lang started laughing.

"Yes, the letter was indeed burned. Your Majesty, you finally admitted it."

Zhang Yao straightened his back suddenly and looked over.

He didn't even notice that the dagger cut his neck, his mind was filled with the words that Emperor Jingping had just blurted out.

Xie Lang ignored the shock of others and said to himself: "You agreed with the barbarians to use food as bait to lure the Dingyuan army into a trap, but you knew that King Dingyuan would not be fooled so easily and you didn't want him to die there, so you revealed the news to him."

This matter is not difficult to understand, it is both absurd and simple.

Emperor Jingping wanted to suppress the Xie family and the Dingyuan Army, so he took advantage of the cold wave to stop the barbarians from invading the border and reached an agreement with the barbarians in exchange for food. He set a trap for the Dingyuan Army and made them jump into it.

But Emperor Jingping did not really want the border to be lost, so he told Prince Dingyuan about the ambush of the barbarians.

That's why King Dingyuan led his huge army to an ambush.

"But you didn't expect that the barbarians guessed your plan in advance and took you and the Dingyuan Army into account. They directly led tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress the Dingyuan Army, causing them to be defeated. In the end, only one in ten survived."

Xie Lang walked towards the bed step by step.

There was a murderous look between his brows, and the dagger in his hand was shining coldly. Scarlet blood flowed down the blade and fell to the ground with a plop.

An unprecedented panic finally rose in Emperor Jingping's eyes.

He was sure that Xie Lang really wanted to kill him.

"My father narrowly survived an ambush. As soon as he returned to the border town, he was attacked by the barbarians. In order to defend the pass, he didn't even dare to die. In the end, everyone in the city barely survived by eating snow."

Xie Lang's voice was extremely hoarse as he pressed on word by word:

"I'm asking you on their behalf, where's the food? Where's the support?"

Emperor Jingping looked at the dagger so close to him and began to tremble uncontrollably.

·

Behind the screen.

Xue Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying. Her breathing also became heavier.

When Queen Lu heard this, she suddenly took two steps forward anxiously, staring straight ahead.

"Thanks……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly felt something sharp against her neck.

Xue Mingyue's voice turned cold: "Empress, you'd better not act rashly at this time, otherwise I can't guarantee that the dagger will not accidentally cut your neck because of shock."

"what you do!"

Aunt Jiang's eyes widened in shock.

She hurriedly tried to reach out and grab Xue Mingyue, but Xue Mingyue and Queen Lu dodged and accidentally knocked over the screen.

Everyone in the hall was attracted by the noise.

Xue Mingyue frowned and shook her head, saying, "I don't want to do anything. I just want Her Majesty to listen to Xie Lang patiently. If you have any questions, you can ask them after the conversation is over."

When he heard the word "Empress", Emperor Jingping turned his head abruptly.

But in the next moment, Empress Lu calmly said, "I have no intention of interrupting Lord Xie. I was just touched when I heard Lord Xie talking about the tragic situation in the border town, so I wanted to ask, how did my son die?"

"I only have this one question, and then I will just be a quiet spectator."

Xue Mingyue did not let her guard down.

He grasped Queen Lu's shoulders tightly, with the dagger stopped in front of her neck, and only a little of his attention was directed to the other side of the bed.

From this angle, you can't see the specific situation over there.

So they didn't know that Emperor Jingping's expression changed from shock to fear in an instant. From the appearance of the Queen to her asking about the cause of the Prince's death, it was far more shocking than the oppression brought to him by Xie Lang.

Xie Lang saw all of this.

He seemed to have discovered something funny, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at Emperor Jingping's eyes, which were wide open, and said in a calm voice:

"The prince's death was indeed an accident, but it was he who discovered the truth about the ambush."

"On the way to inform the Dingyuan Army, he was stopped by the people sent by His Majesty, so he was accidentally shot and died."
