Chapter 278 Zheng Chen
After saying that, Xiao Yiran looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xunfeng, what do you think? Fourth Prince, are you thinking too much..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Yiran with eager eyes, as if begging Xie Xunfeng to stand on the same front with him...
Xie Xunfeng nodded at Xiao Yiran.
Then he said to Xiao Yiran, "I think what Xiao Wenqin said makes sense..."
Xiao Yiran said to Xie Xunfeng with a look of disbelief on her face.
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Yiran and said, "Xiao Wenqin is right. We should be on guard against others... We should not have the intention to harm others... This is true. We are not asking you to harm the Queen Mother..."
"But, if what Xiao Wenqin said is true... we don't want the Queen Mother to hurt you... I don't want you to get hurt, do you understand?" Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Yiran sincerely.
Seeing Xie Xunfeng speaking so patiently, Xiao Yiran's expression relaxed a little.
"Xunfeng, I know what you mean... But I still want to say... The Queen Mother is not what you said... I know you have good intentions... But if the Queen Mother knew that we miss her so much... She would be so sad..."
Seeing Xiao Yiran's expression, Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly, and then said, "I believe in your judgment..."
Xiao Wenqin wanted to say something but was stopped by Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "Yan Song and his men should have arrived in Longyang City..."
Xiao Wenqin said to Xie Xunfeng, "The date should be here... But I'm afraid that Master Yan and the others have already suffered before us..."
Xiao Yiran said, "Even if there is no reward... there won't be any punishment..."
Xiao Wenqin glanced at Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "I didn't follow her and talk about the court affairs..."
Xiao Wenqin nodded to Xie Xunfeng.
Xiao Yiran also looked at Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Yiran, "I want you to keep the innocence in your heart... You don't have to deal with the affairs of the court... I'm here... You just need to be my hostage wife happily..."
After listening to Xie Xunfeng's words, Xiao Yiran's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
…
At this time, in Longyang City, inside the Imperial Palace.
Yan Song took Old Master Wen to the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, Xiao Shentian had a gloomy expression. Next to him sat a stunningly beautiful woman with a heroic look and a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Master Yan, I asked you to lead the team, why did you mess things up like this !" Xiao Shentian scolded harshly.
Yan Song bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was the Great Zhou that unilaterally tore up the contract... otherwise it wouldn't have happened. I think the Great Zhou did this on purpose... they wanted to find an excuse to go to war with us!"
At this moment, the stunning beauty at the side said, "Master Yan, this is not what I heard..."
Yan Song had already heard about the changes in the court and the harem.
This stunning beauty is Xiao Shentian’s favorite concubine, Meng Fengfei.
At this time, Yan Song cupped his hands to the woman and said, "Empress Feng, I don't know what you mean by this..."
Meng Fengfei smiled slightly, and then said to Yan Song, "Master Yan, don't you understand? Did the Great Zhou suddenly turn against each other?"
"As far as I know, before the Yuedan meeting even started... you let Xie Zhizi go and kicked the Northern Liang Crown Prince to death... You could have clearly separated the situation from Xie Zhizi... In this way , we wouldn't have let Daxia and Northern Liang become enemies..."
"I heard that it's not just that... After you went to Da Zhou, you helped Xie Zhizi to fight against the Da Zhou court several times, and even asked them to depose their crown prince... You became enemies of Da Zhou several times... You can tell me for yourself. Was it Da Zhou's intention? If so, if you had controlled the situation in time, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this..."
…
After hearing what Meng Fengfei said, Yan Song stood still and said without replying, "Empress Feng, if you say so! This old minister has nothing to say, please punish me, Your Majesty..."
Yan Song had heard about these things a long time ago...
I heard that Meng Fengfei wanted to remove him from his position.
Yan Song was also very clear that this time Daxia was about to set off a huge wave.
He knew very well that it would be a good thing to find an opportunity to retreat now.
First of all, it can be considered as doing a favor to Xie Xunfeng.
Secondly, there is no need to fight against them.
At this time, Old Master Wen said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we have written down the situation and recorded everything. What we can say is that we have tried our best to maintain the national prestige of Daxia... Every decision we make is for the benefit of Daxia... If we were to help Xie Zhizi and act in a personal way... this would not be the case... Moreover, if Xie Zhizi had not been there this time, Yuedan would not have had the chance to turn against Dazhou and we would have been defeated..."
"Old Master Wen, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that we relied on Xie the hostage to achieve victory? Is there no one in our Great Xia?" Meng Fengfei said sternly.
At this moment, Xiao Shentian said to Old Man Wen, "Old Man Wen, what you said is indeed biased..."
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, Old Master Wen stopped talking and begged for mercy.
Seeing this, Xiao Shentian said, "Alright... You've all been tired from traveling all the way... Let's wait until they come back before making a decision... You can leave first. During this time, rest well at home, and you don't have to go to court..."
The two looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
They held each other's hands and left...
Old Master Wen said to Yan Song, "Humph... this is really interesting... We were fighting with the people of the Great Zhou outside, but unexpectedly, we were stabbed in the back... I initially thought that our Majesty was much better than Xie Shanhe... Now it seems... humph..."
When Yan Song heard what Old Master Wen said, he couldn't help but said nervously, "Old Master Wen, be careful with your words. It's obvious that our Majesty has been used! It's obvious that we have all been lured away from the mountain... I didn't expect that the Queen Mother's purpose was actually this..."
"Master Yan, what you mean is..." Old Master Wen looked at Yan Song.
Yan Song said to Old Master Wen, "Yes, now the court is full of the Queen Mother's people... Our Majesty does not like scheming... and obeys the Queen Mother's orders... If the Queen Mother wants to play with the Emperor, I'm afraid the Emperor will not know..."
Old Master Wen said to Yan Song, "As the current Grand Tutor, do you have to be a loyal and upright official?
