The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

"I want to investigate this matter myself and investigate it carefully."

"Jiujiu, you go back to your mother and concubine first, while my father goes to investigate the matter. After the investigation is completed, my father will visit you again."

After Emperor Zhaoning finished speaking, he changed into plain clothes, took the eunuchs and guards out of the palace, and secretly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion of Dali Temple.

He visited the two of them with one purpose: did they know anything about General Zhou Ye's family before?

The two of them shook their heads in unison and denied that they didn't know, and they only found out now after checking.

Moreover, their search for the truth was very difficult. It took them a long time to find out the very simple truth, as if there was a hand blocking their investigation.

After Emperor Zhaoning heard this, he went to General Zhou Ye's house and learned about the matter from General Zhou Ye.

General Zhou Ye told him: "Your Majesty, you may not believe what I have said, so it is better not to say it."

"It's up to me whether you believe it or not."

"It's Qian Wenxin. He prevented me from reporting my family affairs and many things that I wanted to report. Because I was fighting outside, I couldn't tell the emperor these things in person. Moreover, last year, I set off to fight in the Southern Kingdom. At that time, there were several problems with food and grass because of him, and I suspected that he was a southern trader, but there was no evidence."

"Elaborate work?"

Another one?

Emperor Zhaoning narrowed his eyes.

General Zhou Ye thought that the emperor's gesture was because he didn't believe him. After all, Qian Wenxin was usually seen as a good minister who cared about the country and the people, and no one would doubt him.

Zhou Ye knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if you think what I said is nonsense, just pretend you haven't heard it. I will find evidence to prove it."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhaoning returned to the palace and sent Xuedizi to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Blood Drops are a reconnaissance organization owned exclusively by Emperor Zhaoning. They help Emperor Zhaoning inquire about the secrets of some ministers.

It is generally not used, as it may hurt the minister's heart.

Unless it's unusual.

Xue Di Zi lived up to Emperor Zhaoning's expectations and searched out many secret letters from the secret room of Qian Wenxin's home. They were all secret letters between Qian Wenxin and Nanguo, and they contained many things.

After Emperor Zhaoning read each letter one by one, his hands were shaking with fear.

He was so angry that he smashed the tea that Fu An brought over.

"Qian Wenxin is such a good person. He seems to be loyal and makes no mistakes. In fact, I, Xi Chu, will be betrayed by him."

"The silver mines of Western Chu were taken away by the Southern Kingdom the year before last, General Wen and 3,000 horses died last year, the grain and grass were burned earlier this year, and General Zhou Ye was almost killed. Qian Wenxin was all behind this handiwork."

Emperor Zhaoning could not imagine how Xi Chu would have lost if Qian Wenxin had participated in the secret discussion not long ago.

And if Qian Wenxin, the moth, had always been lurking in the former dynasty, how many loyal ministers would have died and how many things would have happened in the former dynasty?

"There is a Wei concubine in the harem, and there is Qian Wenxin in the previous dynasty."

"How can I, Xi Chu, survive?"

"It's a blessing from God that I can survive for ten years."

"Yulin Guards..." Emperor Zhaoning was furious, "I will imprison Qian Wenxin and his family, behead him after autumn, no, behead him after half a month, cut off his head, and hang him with Wei Concubine At the gate of the city, to warn the world.”

"Yes."

Emperor Zhaoning calmed down for a moment. After he calmed down, he asked Fu'an: "Where is Jiujiu? What are you doing now? Where is he?"

Jiujiu is really his lucky star, no, the lucky star of the entire Xichu.

If it weren't for Jiujiu, he wouldn't know about any of these dirty things and would have been kept in the dark.

The country was about to be sold, and he was still kept in the dark.

If you're not careful, you'll even help count money.

Ha ha.

"Reporting to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince are doing business in the palace, and the princess has gone along to join in the fun."

"Doing something? What do you do?"

Fu'an: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that in the near future, envoys from the Southern Kingdom will come to the palace for peace talks due to the defeat in the war, and they will cede territory to us and pay compensation. The prince is responsible for receiving us. The prince is worried that our southern kingdom has lost our dignity, and has been keeping an eye on it. The prince is patrolling in front for this reason. The envoy from the Southern Kingdom has arrived.”

"Okay, I understand."

·

Jiujiu is currently being held by the prince.

The prince looked over the steps for receiving envoys and preparing dishes, while holding Jiujiu in his arms.

Jiujiu also followed the prince and looked at the dense words written on the gift list.

I felt sleepy after watching it.

"Zhao'er, come here..."

A sudden call not far away instantly made Jiujiu no longer sleepy.

【Who is Zhao'er? Where? 】

[This is a harmful person, work carefully. 】

[She will harm our brother Xichu and the prince. 】

The prince was confused, what happened to Zhao'er? Why is Jiujiu so excited suddenly?

[This girl Zhao'er is unusual. She is a southern craftsman and has poison hidden in her body. 】

[It is written in the book that we, the Western Chu State, once received an envoy from the Southern Kingdom because of our defeat in the war. Zhao'er and the envoy cooperated internally and externally, and poisoned the envoy. 】

[One of the envoys died, but it was just a fake death. They have the antidote themselves, but they won't take it out. They only saw that we couldn't save anyone, so they used this as a blackmail and blackmailed five more cities in Western Chu. 】

[Although we, Xi Chu, have won this time, we don’t have to worry about being extorted from the city. But Zhao'er will definitely poison me, so that I, Xi Chu, will be notorious for killing the envoys, and be reviled by other countries and lose my face. In the end, the matter of ceding land and paying compensation will also be ignored because of the poisoning. 】

[We, Xi Chu, finally won the battle. The matter of ceding territory and paying compensation cannot be left unattended, otherwise the battle will be in vain and so many people will die in vain. 】

The prince was shocked after hearing Jiujiu's voice.

When two armies are fighting, it has been a thousand-year rule not to kill the envoys. No one dares to be bad.

If the envoy dies, as Jiujiu said, Xi Chu's victory will really be in vain. His position as prince may also be deposed.

The prince was flustered and hurriedly went to check the background of the three generations of Zhao'er's ancestors and the matter of hiding drugs.

Unfortunately nothing was found.

The photo has a clean background.

As for Zhao'er hiding the poison.

The prince spent a lot of effort, but no poison was found. He only found some spices made by Zhao'erhui.

Spices can kill, too.

If Zhao'er used spices to poison people, it would be impossible to prevent them!

How to do?

We can't kill Zhao'er.

If you kill one Zhao'er, countless Zhao'er will pop up later, making it even more difficult to guard against.

The prince was very anxious.

It happened that news came at this time that the envoy from the Southern Kingdom had arrived in advance and had been arranged in the post house. Three days later, he went to the palace to meet the saint and discuss the matter of ceding territory and paying compensation.

Jiujiu also knew the news.

Jiujiu thought about what to do.

The prince suddenly had an idea.

What if he drank the envoy's poisoned wine?

If he is poisoned, the envoys' treacherous plot will not succeed, and they will still have to cede territory and pay compensation.

But after he was poisoned, if there was no antidote, he would die.

He can't die.

He has not yet established a successful career, married a wife and had children, and he has not met the young lady of the Yu family that Jiujiu mentioned.
