The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Yao An took the letter with both hands, and after confirming that there was no problem, he presented it to the emperor. The emperor read it and sighed.

"The Fifth Prince Zhou Mochi and the Sixth Princess were indeed assassinated by their father because of their mother."

Because this is a royal scandal, only people inside the family knew about it, and the people outside were unaware of it.

If Xie Lin had not spent a large sum of money to quietly dig out an information channel in the Northern Zhou royal family, such news would have been difficult to obtain.

What's more, Zhou Mochen and his sister escaped the pursuit of the Northern Zhou royal family. The Northern Zhou royal family wanted to cover up this news to prevent other countries from winning over Zhou Mochen and his sister and taking the opportunity to deal with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Dongfang Shuo and the prime minister looked at each other, so what?

Xie Lin was surprised and said, "It turns out that the three of them are not spies sent by the Northern Zhou. Your Majesty, Lord Wen is right. Let's not talk about the Sixth Princess for now. Let's just talk about Song Ju and Sang Nong. They are gifted and are indeed gifts from heaven to Daqi. With them, the country will be strong and the army will be strong in no time."

Wen Tingshen: "Your Majesty, Song Ju is a prince abandoned by the Northern Zhou royal family. If you don't kill him, but treat him well, the people of the world will definitely praise your majesty for having a broad mind. When capable people know about this, they will definitely come to serve your majesty and Daqi.

"Besides, Sang Nong built the canal for Daqi, and his contribution is obvious to all the people; Song Ju's ability in training cavalry and war horses has just been seen by the emperor. I think that not only should their death penalty be exempted, but they should also be promoted!

"Let the world see how broad-minded our Emperor Daqi is. He is able to accommodate a hundred rivers and appreciate talents from all directions!"

Dongfang Shuo and the Prime Minister nearly vomited blood. It would have been fine if they were exempted from the death penalty, but they were actually going to be promoted?

Dongfang Shuo sneered, "According to what Lord Wen said, should we still reward the Princess of Cheng'an County?"

Wen Tingshen smiled, "Your Highness Prince Cheng is thoughtful. When the five princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were in trouble, Princess Cheng'an was unaware of their identities, but she was able to save them and overcome all difficulties to allow them to display their talents in their respective fields. She is truly an extraordinary woman. If the Emperor can reward Princess Cheng'an for this, I think it would be a great honor."

Dongfang Shuo: “…………”

Does he really want the emperor to reward Chu Heyi?

He was mocking!!

But words once spoken are like water spilled, difficult to take back, and were fully exploited by the eloquent Wen Tingshen.

Dongfang Shuo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "So, the County Lady of Cheng'an has done them a great favor, but when they were in the Dali Temple before, they had already said that they had severed all ties with the County Lady of Cheng'an. It can be seen that they are ungrateful people. How can we Daqi treat them well? Treat them as guests of honor!"

Yes, that's right. Since it is impossible to prevent Sang Nong and Song Ju from being spared the death penalty, their close relationship with Chu Heyi must be cut off.

These two people are not only talents of Daqi, but also powerful weapons in Chu Heyi's hands.

Their talents and contributions will serve as Chu Heyi's protective umbrella and the ladder for her to rise to the top.

Zhou Mochen, Sang Nong and Song Wuxi, who had already made up their minds to die, now looked pale.

They knew their identities, stayed by Chu Heyi's side, and had a close relationship with her. Once exposed by Princess Cheng, Chu Heyi would be implicated, so they wrote a suicide note and severed all ties with her.

After reading the letter, Chu Heyi must have been extremely angry and disappointed with them.

The content of the letter made them seem ungrateful and unworthy of being treated well. Then, all the benefits that Wen Tingshen and Xie Lin had fought for them would become a pipe dream.

They may not care about whether they get promoted or whether they are treated as guests of honor at the Grand Palace, but they have to care that Wen Tingshen and Xie Lin have been running around for them for a long time.

If they don't get these, they will be letting down Chu Heyi for taking care of them for so long, and will instead make the enemy happy.

Therefore, Zhou Mochen and Sang Nong became nervous for a moment, wondering whether Chu Heyi would really break off all ties with them because of that letter.

If she did that, they would... have nothing to say. After all, they were the ones who proposed to break up first, so how could they turn around and blame the person who was broken up with?

Chu Heyi was brought before the emperor.

The emperor looked down at her and said, "Princess Cheng'an, I remember Princess Wuxi said before that they have severed their friendship with you, and there is a suicide note as proof. Where is that suicide note?"

Chu Heyi knelt in front of the emperor, raised his eyes, and glanced at Zhou Mochen, Sang Nong and Song Wuxi's faces one by one.

She saw the tension and guilt on their faces.

Chu Heyi retracted his gaze and replied, "Your Majesty, they are both people who value friendship and loyalty. They are afraid that someone will use their identities to put them to death, and then implicate me and the Zhenbei Marquisate. That's why Princess Wuxi lied and broke off all ties with me. In fact, there is no such thing."

Zhou Mochen and the others were filled with shock and fear.

They originally thought that Chu Heyi would be angry and sad, and perhaps would come and scold them for being so ungrateful.

Even if they don't come to curse them, they will most likely ignore them and completely forget about them.

But now, what Chu Heyi said proved that her heart was as clear as a mirror, and she fully understood the purpose of their writing that suicide note.

What is a confidant?

That’s probably it!

Zhou Mochen and Sang Nong looked at her in shock.

Even Song Wuxi turned towards Chu Heyi, wanting to see what Chu Heyi looked like now. She actually had such a broad mind.

The emperor frowned slightly: "What about the suicide note that Princess Wuxi mentioned? What's going on with it?"

Chu Heyi said: "In reply to the emperor, there was no suicide note. It was just that Princess Wuxi thought they were in great trouble and made up a lie just to protect this minister."

He added: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to search."

Before the emperor could speak, Dongfang Shuo took the lead and said, "Yu Liang, follow Commander Yin and take people to search to see if there is any suicide letter written by the fifth prince to the Princess of Cheng'an County.

"In addition to searching the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, we also need to search the Gufeng Road residence owned by the Cheng'an County Lady. The Fifth Prince and Princess Wuxi had been living there before."

Dongfang Shuo thought that since Zhou Mochen and the others left Chu Heyi without saying goodbye, they probably didn't want to implicate Chu Heyi.

Since Song Wuxi has written a suicide note, they must write one in order to completely sever their relationship with Chu Heyi.

The person who lied was not Song Wuxi, but Chu Heyi.

As expected, he keenly noticed that Zhou Mochen and the others could not hide the panic on their faces, and even if they tried their best to restrain themselves, they could not.

Even the people who served Chu Heyi were the same.

Yin Shao looked at the emperor, who waved his hand and said, "Go and search."

Now that it has been brought up, let’s investigate it thoroughly!
