Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 609: Infallible (Update )
"real!?"

Princess Qinyang was surprised and delighted. She stared at the note over and over again, wishing she could engrave every word on it deeply in her mind.

She was almost incoherent.

"My father is fine! That's good, that's good!"

By the end of her speech, there was a tone of tears in her voice.

Ever since she found out something happened to Prince Yannan, she has been worried. She has been tossing and turning for the past few days, unable to sleep at night, and has lost a lot of weight.

Now that they knew King Yan Nan was still alive, the string that had been tense for a long time suddenly broke!
The emotions that had been suppressed for so long burst out, drowning her like a wave.

Tears welled up in her eyes, making it almost impossible for her to see the words on the note.

She quickly raised her head and turned sideways to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When she turned around again, her eyes were still red, but it was obvious that she had tried her best to calm down.

She took a deep breath.
"Chu Tang, thank you...thank you so much! And your friend! This news is so important to me, I really don't know how to repay you--"

"You are welcome, my lady." Ye Chutang shook his head. "Prince Yannan has guarded the southwest for many years and has made great contributions. His safety is related to the entire southwest. Even if you don't come to ask me for help, I will do my best if I can do something."

Princess Qinyang breathed a sigh of relief.

There seemed to be an invisible power in Ye Chutang, and being with her always made people feel at ease.

It seems that no matter how great the danger or how many difficulties there are, they will eventually be resolved.

She lowered her head and read the note again, not wanting to miss a single word.

There were not many words on it, but it clearly stated that King Nan of Yan was indeed still alive and was currently imprisoned in Longcheng.

"The letter said that a rebellion broke out in Longcheng before, and King Yannan arrived with 500 personal soldiers, and defeated the Nanhu people with a small force. It was just that the previous prefect had been killed, Longcheng was now leaderless, so King Yannan took over temporarily. To outsiders, it seemed that there were only spies from the enemy army in Longcheng, and King Yannan led his troops to vindicate the rebellion, but no one knew that all this was just an illusion, and the real King Yannan had been imprisoned and controlled by them."

Ye Chutang frowned.
"They went to so much trouble, there's no way they were just putting on a show."

Princess Qinyang was even more puzzled.

"Yeah! Then what exactly do they want to achieve by doing this?"

Ye Chutang fell into deep thought.

"Longcheng has returned to normal on the surface, but in fact, there are still undercurrents. They also issued an order in the name of King Yannan, saying that there are still spies from the Southern Hu roaming in Longcheng. To ensure safety, the entire Longcheng is only open to people who cannot leave. What good will this do for them?"

Princess Qinyang couldn't figure it out either. She stood up and paced back and forth anxiously. "Your friend entered Longcheng to help gather information, and now he is trapped inside! What if he is also implicated? Then, then-"

Ye Chutang gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, he is careful and won't be exposed. It's better for him to stay in Longcheng. Maybe he can find out more information, which will be more beneficial to us."

Princess Qinyang was nervous and hopeful, "Really?"

Ye Chutang nodded.

Princess Qinyang actually didn't want the other party to be involved, but she also understood that what Ye Chutang said was right.

The capital and Longchang are thousands of miles apart, and they have no idea what is happening over there. It would be of great help to them to quietly place a pair of eyes there. "Then, what should we do in this situation?" Princess Qinyang thought about it, "They are using my father as a signboard, so they will definitely not harm his life in the short term, but it is not a solution to keep the stalemate like this..."

Click.

Ye Chutang took out a fire starter and burned the piece of paper completely, leaving only a wisp of smoke.

Then she shook her head.

"Nothing to do."

Princess Qinyang was stunned.

Ye Chutang looked at her and smiled, "Not to mention that the princess doesn't have any elite soldiers and generals under her command, even if she did, can you kill them directly from the capital?"

"I——" Princess Qinyang was speechless.

Yes.

Ye Chutang was right. Even if she knew all this, she could still do nothing.

On the surface, she is the respected Princess Qinyang who dares to act arrogantly in the capital, but in reality, she is alone and weak, and when she really encounters problems, she has no way out.

Princess Qinyang pursed her red lips tightly.

Perhaps because she had stayed in the capital for too long, she had quietly degenerated into such a useless state, and she didn't realize it until today!

boom!
Princess Qinyang couldn't help but slam the table.

"If I had paid more attention, I wouldn't be so helpless now! I'm so useless!"

The wine in the glass splashed out and landed on the table and her sleeves.

Ye Chutang didn't think so.

"Princess, don't be too hard on yourself. Your safety in the capital is the most important thing to King Yannan. Perhaps he is also thankful that he sent you back so early, otherwise, you might have been implicated in this turmoil."

“So what!” Princess Qinyang was not afraid at all. She looked straight at Ye Chutang with her almond-shaped eyes, her eyes full of determination. “When I was young, I followed my father to travel all over the southwest. I have seen countless bloody scenes. How can I be afraid?!”

Normally, everyone thinks she is just a spoiled and willful princess, but in fact, she is tough and courageous as anyone!
"You are right to think so, Princess, but there is no need to say that you are useless. If it weren't for your prompt response, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know what happened in Longcheng."

Listening to her gentle and calm words, Princess Qinyang finally calmed down. She realized her misconduct just now and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry... I was too worried about my father..."

Ye Chutang naturally didn't care. He wiped the wine stains on the table with a handkerchief and then slowly said, "Princess, there is no need to be too anxious. First, those people seem to want to use the name of King Yannan to do things, so they won't dare to do anything to him in the short term. Second, His Majesty has already said that he will summon King Yannan back to the capital to report on his work in advance. Those people will receive His Majesty's order soon, and then they will have a headache about how to deal with it."

Princess Qinyang finally felt relieved after hearing this.

but--

"Besides the first time, do we really not need to do anything? What if they get angry and kill my father, then -"

Although the possibility is very small, no one can guarantee that those people will not suddenly go crazy.

Ye Chutang lowered his eyelids and fell into deep thought.

"As long as we figure out what they want to do, we can prescribe the right medicine. However, my friend has just arrived in Longcheng, and it will take some time to investigate all of this, so we need to wait patiently. However, the princess's concerns are not unreasonable. If we can make secondary preparations, we can be absolutely sure..."
