The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 233 Turning the tables (1)
The emperor took strict precautions against Tuoba Huai'an, but he couldn't explain the reason clearly, he just snorted coldly, noncommittal.

"For no reason, if it wasn't for conspiracy, princess, tell me, where are the others in Tuoba Huai'an, and what are they doing?" Yao Guangtai retorted, gritted his teeth in order to shirk responsibility, and pointedly pointed at the corner of his eye. He glanced at Liang Yu, the commander of the Nine Cities soldiers and horses kneeling there with a livid face, and said, "Sir Liang, should he give an explanation for this matter? After the assassins quarreled on New Year's Eve, all three city gates will be handed over to you by Nine Cities." Under the control of the Bingmasi, isn’t it claimed that the nets are all over the sky and the earth waiting for the assassins to throw themselves into the net? Under such a huge situation, Tuoba Huai’an and his party still sneaked out of the city calmly. This matter——isn’t too strange ?"

The emperor's eyes darkened, and when he mentioned these words, his eyes suddenly froze, and he suddenly looked at Chu Qihui who had been sitting anxiously beside him for a long time.

Chu Qihui was forced by his dark gaze, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up silently.

However, Liang Yu, the commander of the Jiucheng soldiers and horses, said righteously: "I, the commander of the Jiucheng soldiers and horses, abide by the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and dare not slack off in the slightest. Especially yesterday, everyone who entered and exited the city gates was carefully checked. I dare to guarantee with my head that under my jurisdiction, it is absolutely impossible to let any suspicious person wait out of the city!"

As he spoke, he glared and gave Yao Guangtai a vicious look.

Yao Guangtai twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness uses harsh methods, and the officials have heard of the rules that are set up for interrogation. It is true that there is no leakage, but even under the strictest rules, there is no exception. Regardless of human feelings, there are always unexpected emergencies, don’t they?”

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the emperor behind the case, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, hurriedly led a pair of people and horses away from the east gate at night yesterday, and did not turn around until the second watch." But I don’t know about the part of His Royal Highness, Mr. Liang, have you checked carefully according to the rules set by His Royal Highness?”

Liang Yu's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Yesterday evening, Chu Qihui led a group of people to leave the city in a hurry. The guards at the city gate refused, but before the news was reported to him, Chu Qihui had already forcibly broke through the city gate and took his way.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city hindered his identity, and they couldn't really use force to stop him, so they could only watch him leave.

When Chu Qihui was announced into the palace early in the morning, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong. Later, when he learned that Tuoba Huai'an had disappeared for no reason, he knew that something was wrong. He was worried for a long time. In the morning, he couldn't sit still. He jumped up from the chair when he heard the words, pointed at Yao Guangtai and said angrily: "Yao Guangtai, what do you mean? Has Huai'an been released from the city?"

Before the words fell, the palms of the hands were already wet with cold sweat.

"I don't dare!" Yao Guangtai said, "This minister is just discussing the facts. If His Royal Highness Changsun has a clear conscience, why should he be so angry? It would be easy to misunderstand!"

Chu Qihui blushed, and suddenly realized that he had indeed lost his composure, but was blocked by him and was speechless.

Yao Guangtai had already turned his eyes away, bowed to the emperor behind the imperial case, and said: "Your Majesty, everyone says that the Skynet is restored, but there are always omissions, His Royal Highness has always been careful in handling things, and the ministers are also extremely convinced. It’s just that, as the Nanhe prince said before, the timing of this incident was so coincidental, it was clearly planned for a long time. These days, all the important places in the capital are under strict control. It is not easy for the prince and his party to get away quietly."

Tuoba Yunji's frown became tighter and tighter, and finally couldn't help but said angrily again: "My lord, please be careful. As I said, my fifth brother is not a prisoner of your court. What kind of cooperation is there? What kind of conspiracy?" How long?"

As she spoke, she also turned to the emperor, straightened her back and said, "Your Majesty, Yunji dare to ask, what are you discussing between your monarchs and ministers now? Did my fifth brother violate the laws of your country? If it is true If so, then I have nothing to say, if not—I hope His Majesty the Emperor will give me justice, so as not to ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

The emperor wanted to detain Tuoba Huai'an only out of selfishness, but after letting Tuoba Huai'an escape this time, there were really endless troubles.

The emperor was sullen, noncommittal.

Yao Guangtai opened his mouth. He is a civil servant, and he has been in the officialdom for decades. It is no problem to refute Tuoba Yunji with his eloquence, but he glanced at the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye, because the emperor's attitude is unclear. , he couldn't speak casually, he opened his mouth, and finally suppressed his silence.

The atmosphere in the hall was so quiet that it was almost chilly.

Chu Qifeng glanced casually at the faces of the crowd, and then said leisurely: "The assassin has not been caught yet, and judging from what happened last time, it was obvious that he was directed at the Fifth Prince of Mobei. Princess Yunji must have misunderstood, the reason why the grandfather is so worried about the whereabouts of His Highness the Fifth Highness is only for his safety!"

It's just an excuse!

Tuoba Yunji was stunned, pursed her lips, but didn't appreciate it, just snorted coldly and looked away.

The emperor still didn't answer.

Hearing this, Chu Qiyan looked away from the teacup in her hand, and also looked at Tuoba Yunji and said, "Princess Six, I don't know what kind of etiquette rules you have in Mobei, but in my court, it's about marriage. It is especially important. You may not know it when you are new here. The late old prince of Changshun Palace was a hero who assisted His Majesty in conquering the world, and he is also an old friend worthy of His Majesty's brothers. The Su family was one of the most noble families in the dynasty. Now His Majesty What a great honor it is to marry His Highness the Fifth Highness and Princess Su. Even if His Highness the Fifth Highness has something big to do, if he leaves Beijing on the day of the wedding, isn't it a clear refutation of Changshun Palace's face?"

Although Chu Qihui was implicated, Chu Qifeng had a clear conscience, so he made a major incident into a minor one, and stood up to be a peacemaker.

Chu Qiyan is not the case——

Immediately and decisively, he put his position opposite Tuoba Huai'an, and charged Tuoba Huai'an with a crime.

On the surface, it seems that the two have different political views, but they have the same effect. They are both paving the way for the emperor. In fact——

According to the emperor's psychology at this time, it seems that Chu Qiyan's actions are more in line with his wishes.

With a smile on her face, Chu Qiyan looked at Tuoba Yunji and said, "Princess Six, the old King Changshun passed away early. His Majesty has always treated his descendants as his own family. Now he pointed out this marriage for Princess Su, but You have been treated so humiliatingly by the royal court of Mobei, His Majesty may not pursue it with you for the sake of the old king of Mobei, but at the same time, it is to make His Majesty break his promise to the old man. I, the people of Xiyue, value morality the most, and the Fifth Highness is like this His Majesty is so furious because he has been wronged, and it is reasonable to trace his whereabouts."
