Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 222 Letter from the Second Prince of Liao Kingdom
Time flew by, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Yi resumed the days of going to court.

It's still winter, and every day before dawn, I have to leave the warm bed. Before summer, it was fine, after all, the dawn was early, but these few days have ruined Chen Yi.

He hadn't had a comfortable life when he was suppressing bandits in northern Saibei. He went to the court every morning and listened to those ministers talking about trivial matters.

Chen Yi just started watching, and found it quite interesting, a bit like eating melons in the first row.

After a long time, there were many repetitions of topics and tricks, and Chen Yi also felt tired, so he might as well go home and learn medicine and martial arts.

In the past few days, nothing new happened in the court. He felt that not only the empress, but also the ministers were arguing, and their interest was a little less.

In the early morning of the day, Chen Yi returned to the official office. Not long after he sat down, he received a message from his family, saying that he was asked to go back immediately.

Nothing was written in the letter, so let him go back quickly.

If it wasn't for the fact that the characters were indeed Cao Bo's characters, Chen Yi would have thought it was a prank and deliberately punished him.

Chen Yi was confused, there was Uncle Cao and the master at home, and there was nothing that couldn't be solved, why did he suddenly ask himself to go back, and felt very anxious, Chen Yi was a little worried that something had happened.

So I went to my boss and asked for leave, and quickly rushed back.

When he went back, he saw the guard Gao Gao Jianping and found himself looking at him in surprise. He obviously didn't know what happened in the mansion. Could it be that someone was deliberately playing tricks on him? !
With doubts, Chen Yi found Uncle Cao. Uncle Cao nodded and admitted that he had entrusted someone to deliver the letter to him, and Chen Yi was relieved.

He was just about to ask Uncle Cao what happened, when he saw Uncle Cao carrying him to the study with a serious expression on his face.

Chen Yi didn't say a word, and followed him to the study.

Uncle Cao closed the door of the study, then turned around, took out a letter, and handed it to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was a little confused when the letter was handed over. There was nothing written on the envelope. He looked at Uncle Cao questioningly, wondering who gave it to him.

"These are the people who sent the money before. They sent them today. I know they are not from our Dawu Kingdom."

Uncle Cao was solemn but also a little uneasy.

Only then did Chen Yi suddenly realize that it was probably a letter from the second prince of the Liao Kingdom. After sending the second prince back to the Liao Kingdom last time, Chen Yi stopped paying attention to it. Now the fight for the throne should be at a fever pitch.

Chen Yigang wanted to open the letter, but was held down by Uncle Cao.

"Sir, if you are directly communicating with people from other countries, you are not trying to do anything detrimental to the Great Wu Kingdom. I will not stand idly by when the fire is like this, even if you are the person closest to me."

Seeing the seriousness in Uncle Cao's eyes, Chen Yi began to explain the previous transaction between himself and the second prince of Liao, as well as the reasons for his doing so. After listening to the explanation, Uncle Cao returned to his previous kindness.

"It turns out that's the case. That's good. The empress didn't doubt you? Now that the second prince has written again, it shouldn't be a good thing."

Chen Yi smiled indifferently: "In the past, I helped the empress earn money, of course she would not doubt it, as for this time, I don't know what it is, but I will not hide the empress, I will not be sorry Don't worry about the affairs of the Great Wu Kingdom, Uncle Cao."

Uncle Cao nodded, with a reassuring look on his face: "Okay, then I won't bother you, I'll go out first."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Cao left the study.

Chen Yi found a comfortable place, sat down, opened the envelope, and looked at it at a glance.

After reading it, Chen Yi put the letter on the table and began to think.

When he recovered, Chen Yi glanced at the letter on the table and planned to enter the palace.

As soon as he opened the door to the study, he saw Uncle Cao coming over. Seeing Chen Yi in a hurry, Uncle Cao subconsciously asked: "Are you still going out now? Things are very urgent?"

"Well, I want to go out, but don't be in a hurry. What's wrong, Uncle Cao? What's the matter?"

Uncle Cao smiled and shook his head: "No, it's time for lunch now. If you're not in a hurry, just finish your meal at home and then go out to work. I've got people ready and I'll tell you how to eat."

Chen Yi looked at the hourglass. Sure enough, it was meal time. He also felt a little hungry, so he wanted to give up his plan to go out immediately.

After dinner, Chen Yi entered the palace.

The empress was puzzled when she heard Chen Yi begging to see her. There was nothing serious recently, but she still let Chen Yi in.

"Shilang Chen, why are you here at this time?"

Chen Yi stepped forward and presented the letter from the second prince of Liao Kingdom to him.

After reading the letter, the empress looked at Chen Yi with some hesitation: "I didn't expect it to be like this, Chen Shilang, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good opportunity. The Liao Kingdom is now in a time of civil strife. We can fight there directly, or just follow the letter and help the second prince of the Liao Kingdom obtain that position."

After the empress listened, she didn't speak. Although the empress came to power smoothly, there was nothing messy.

However, the empress did not understand the complexity of this.

"Shilang Chen, tell me, is what the second prince of Liao said in his letter true? Could it be a conspiracy to deceive us?"

The empress was a little worried, because the second prince of the Liao Kingdom had arranged for an assassin to assassinate him before, how could she be at ease, although they cooperated in the end, but at that time it was the Dawu Kingdom that had the upper hand.

She didn't want to provoke a war between the two countries, so she released the second prince of Liao easily.

But it's different now. The second prince of Liao Kingdom actually wrote a letter asking them to help him seize the throne. His temperament is different.

No wonder the empress is suspicious, but if she were an empress, would she seek someone from the enemy country to help her obtain the throne?

This is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger, the Empress even thought it was impossible.

Chen Yi didn't know what the empress thought, he had more contact with the second prince, and through him, he was able to give himself so much money to buy his own safety.

Chen Yi was able to know that the second prince of the Liao Kingdom was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and as long as he could achieve his goal, he would use all available resources.

The second prince of the Liao Kingdom was not favored in the Liao Kingdom, although there were some ministers who followed him.

But the situation in Liao is not very good.

Chen Yi reckoned that the main reason why he asked him for help was that the last cooperation had tasted the sweetness, and that the second prince didn't seem to have too much ambition, and he didn't want to cause trouble with Dawu Kingdom again.

That's why he happily agreed to live in peace with the Dawu Kingdom and not to raise troops.

"Your Majesty, I understand your Majesty's concerns, but the second prince of the Liao Kingdom has already shown his sincerity in the last cooperation. Doesn't your Majesty already know that?"
