"No, I happened to meet Princess Nanxiang and was dragged there by her."

Emperor Beili seemed relieved when he heard this: "Send more people to watch secretly, and report every move to me regularly."

"Yes."

Emperor Beili waved his hand tiredly, signaling the hidden guards to retreat.

After the secret guards left, Emperor Beili leaned weakly on the back of his chair, feeling uneasy.

The people who assassinated in the middle of the night did not get close to Ye Qianning, and they also threw the assassins back to all directions. Could it be that they knew everyone in Kyoto City?
No, no, no. People from the four countries have poured into the capital, and many of the royal guards have not yet investigated their details. How could Xiang Minghou's people know it clearly?

After entering the capital, every move of Xiang Minghou, the Zhan family, and the Gu family was under their surveillance, and they had no ability to check everyone.

Xiang Minghou never brought many people with him when he entered the city, so they definitely had support behind them.

Who is hiding behind the scenes and being able to involve everyone without making a sound?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Bei Lidi felt. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something: "Wan Kun."

A figure appeared in the room: "Your Majesty."

"Go check whether Prince Xiyan has entered the city."

"Yes."

The figure left.

The only person the Emperor of Beili could think of was the Prince of Xiyan. Otherwise, who else among the four countries would have such ability?

Prince Xiyan had contact with Xiang Minghou and his party in Dayu City, Dongwei, and the letters he sent back mentioned many times that Prince Xiyan and Ye Qianning were very close.

Li Mu also mentioned it when he returned to the capital to report, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Now that I think about it, if the person behind Ye Qianning is really the Prince of Xiyan... things will be very tricky.

"Someone is coming."

"Your Majesty." Li Quande hurried in. "Send someone to the west of the city to summon Chen Rentian to the palace." Chen Rentian was from Beili, and he didn't believe that he would give up his life's honor and join Xiyan.

Li Quande asked: "Your Majesty, are you sending someone now?"

Emperor Beili turned his head.

Li Quande explained in panic: "Your Majesty, it is late at night now."

Emperor Beili glanced outside the door and suddenly realized that it was indeed inappropriate to summon him so late at night. After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to kill Fu and summon Yi to the palace."

"Yes."

Li Quande's eyes were full of suspicion. He summoned him hurriedly late at night but didn't know what had happened.

Emperor Beili stood up and walked quickly toward the direction of Concubine Zhan's bedroom.

I wonder if the Zhan family knows about the relationship between Ye Qianning and Xiliuyuan. If they do know, how much do they know?
The Zhan family cannot afford the reputation of selling out their country for personal gain and being remembered for generations. I believe Zhan Yi also does not want the reputation of several generations of loyalty in the Zhan family to be ruined in his hands.

As the day dawned, people in the bustling streets of Beijing were discussing what had happened on Loushan Mountain.

The scholars and literati who came down from Mount Lou angrily recounted how shameless and treacherous the He family was, and the crimes the He family had committed.

The story was told in vivid detail, scolding the entire He family.

At first, some people did not believe it, until the yamen opened and a lot of petitions were thrown into the yamen.

It wasn't just the lawsuit. Every wall in the capital was covered with complaints. The He family had abused their power to bully others and done all kinds of dirty things over the years, and the time of every single thing was clearly stated.

Regarding the murder of Zhang Rui in the Minister's Mansion, Li Xi stumbled and knocked on the drum at the gate of the yamen in front of everyone's eyes. He kept saying that he was the one who killed Li Xi and had his body dumped in the wilderness and it had nothing to do with the Minister's Mansion. He turned himself in and asked the yamen to overturn the case.

The crowd sighed and lamented, why didn't they stand up in the beginning? All the people in the Minister's Mansion were on the way to exile, the women were sold, and some were taken to brothels. Now they came to overturn the case, the tragedy had already happened. (End of this chapter)
