Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 979
Almost everyone in the capital got the news immediately.

The emperor in the palace was woken up in the middle of the night by the urgent delivery of the battle report to Beijing, and was furious. The entire harem was alarmed, and no one could rest assured. Following Yin Shao, Yin Huai and Yin Shu brothers also entered the palace overnight.

In Prince Xuan's mansion, Yin Zhan burned the secret report that had been opened and read, and Wei Heng knocked on the door outside, "Your Highness, Miss Cheng is here, do you see me?"

In the middle of the night, it is reasonable to say that Cheng Yu should not have run to him. It seems that after she got the news, she was in a mess.

"Let her in!" Yin Zhan said lightly, and put the lampshade back casually.

The sound of Wei Heng's footsteps left, and after only a moment, Cheng Yu hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.

There was obvious panic in her expression, and she didn't bother to salute, but rushed directly to Yin Zhan's desk, and she was still a little unbelievable when she spoke, "My lord, what should you do about the news from Xijiang?" Already know? Is that all true?"

"Not only the old site of the royal family in Xijiang, but also the four adjacent cities were also lost in just five days, and were taken down by the descendants of the Helian family. The latest battle report came to Beijing tonight, and the palace must have won it too. News, it must be very uneven right now." Yin Zhan said, he didn't seem surprised by this result, he just leaned back on the chair slowly, as if stating an insignificant matter.

Cheng Yu's heart was filled with irritability, her eyes fluttered around, but she couldn't convince herself no matter what.

She was in a daze for a while, and finally had no choice but to look at Yin Zhan again, and confirmed whether laughing or crying: "Our Cheng family, is it true that the entire family is wiped out?"

The emperor had been determined to take back the military power in Duke Qi's hands before, but after an accident happened, he himself was seriously ill, and he had more energy than energy, so he had to postpone the matter.

The Cheng family would not sit still, Cheng Yu had already prepared for it, and later Yin Zhan revealed to her in private that his father and brother should have already joined Duanmuqi's men.

At that time, she only thought that it was the Cheng family's last resort to protect themselves.

but--

"What the hell is going on here?" Cheng Yu was in a daze, propped the table fiercely, looked directly at Yin Zhan's face and said, "The object of my father's surrender is obviously the Nantang Duanmu family, but why—— Why are the rumors outside now that the Helian family in Xijiang, which has been wiped out, is making a comeback? Not only did they control the army, but they also slaughtered my entire Cheng family? How could this happen?"

These things, put together, are inextricably linked, and it is indeed puzzling.

Yin Zhan sat there with a normal face, and the corners of his lips curled up, "You are a smart person, you will understand after calming down and thinking about it, do you still need me to tell you?"

Cheng Yu was indeed not stupid, but at this moment, her heart was disturbed.

Her expression was confused, although she tried hard to calm herself down and think carefully, but it was futile in the end.

Yin Zhan waited for a while, and then he had no choice but to say: "From the revelation of Duanmu Xiang's secret, to his killing, and to the subsequent destruction of the entire Nantang Duanmu Clan, you don't always understand why Duanmu Qi clearly has enough money. The ability to prevent it, but why do you still stand by? You should understand now, right?"

It doesn't matter that others don't know Duanmuqi's whereabouts. Since Cheng Yu knows that he is in the Western Frontier Army, he knows that if he wants to keep Duanmu's family, he won't stand by and watch Song Chuxi for more than half a year. Step by step, he can do whatever he wants in Dayun City.

It's not that he can't control it, but he just doesn't want to control it?

"What exactly does this mean?" It's not that Cheng Yu couldn't think of the truth, but she didn't dare to think about it because it was too bizarre.

"Duanmuqi, what do you think he has the ability to persuade your father to use for him? Especially on the premise that he is wanted by the court?" Yin Zhan asked.

He stood up, walked aside, and stood in front of a pot of bluegrass flower stand next to him, staring at the green and thick leaves on it, and continued to speak slowly: "According to common sense, even if Duanmuqi came here to avoid the court's pursuit, I have defected to your father, and with your father's status, it is not his turn to put the cart before the horse and ride on the heads of your Cheng family. But the fact is just the opposite. Your father not only respects him as a guest of honor, but even obeys him? This relationship is impossible It was established suddenly, so you don't understand now? Your Cheng family didn't defect because of the coercion of the court at all in order to protect themselves, but it has existed since ancient times. It's just that the time for raising troops has not come, so he can't act rashly, so he continues to pretend to be a loyal minister and general of the court. Do you really think that he proposed to send you to Beijing to marry you in order to test the court's attitude toward you? Do you care about home?"

Yin Zhan said by himself, then shook his head and sneered, "It's just because the best time for the Helian family to restore the country has not yet come, the Cheng family sent you to Beijing to confuse the emperor and create the illusion that your Cheng family is showing weakness to the court. It's an excuse to continue delaying the time. Otherwise, in the past six months, no matter how bad the emperor's health is, he will not continue to delay the Cheng family's affairs."

It was because the Cheng family had tried to plead softly through marriage that the emperor never suspected that they had other motives, so he was able to rest assured and put off dealing with the Cheng family when the princes in the court were fighting for the throne and there was civil strife.

When Cheng Yu heard this, his heart sank.

Her face turned pale, she opened her mouth a few times and said in disbelief: "You said that my father had already rebelled against the court? But—but why?"

Let the high-ranking officials and rich salary, live a good life, but, is Qi Guogong crazy?Do you have to make dangerous moves to seek this kind of wealth?

And the most ridiculous thing is that he died before he could get anything.

Cheng Yu wanted to laugh, but facing the Cheng family's innocent lives lost for so many days——

Even if she had been abandoned by the family long ago, she couldn't laugh.

"This matter has already been investigated secretly by the king. Although there are still some specific details that may only be verified by the parties involved, the general history of the matter is already clear." Yin Zhan said, the time has come for the truth to be revealed.

He looked back at Cheng Xin.

Cheng Yu's heart suddenly shrank violently, feeling inexplicably nervous, and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva.

Yin Zhan looked away again and said: "Your father probably didn't tell you that your Cheng family was originally a rebel from Xijiang. When the imperial court fought with Xijiang, the imperial team came fiercely. Xijiang The people were completely invincible. The Cheng family, who were supposed to be the vanguard at that time, turned their backs and became soldiers of the Beidi court. The traitors of the previous dynasty had such a bad reputation, and because your Cheng family contributed a lot to the conquest of Western Xinjiang, the late emperor gave special permission to touch this black history."
