"My Prime Minister's Office has always been loyal to the Great An Kingdom and has never formed a clique for personal gain. Prince, you should also know this kind of thing."

Yun Fang's expression was indistinguishable from his emotions. Although he was somewhat touched when he heard the news about Yun Nian in the palace, he was an old fox in the court. He knew what Ning Sinian was planning without even having to think about it.

The prince of Jinyang Palace, at least on the surface, looked like a romantic, affectionate and talkative person. He waved his folding fan.

"Wait a minute, Prime Minister, please listen to me carefully."

If Yun Nian's refusal to marry hadn't angered him, he wouldn't have revealed his trump card now.

"Mr. Prime Minister, although the previous emperor of Da'an was incompetent, he was truly the son of the Heavenly Dragon. After the regent Wei Qingjue took office, he was said to have stabilized the court and expelled the Ke Luo cavalry."

"But even with the strength of General Huo and General Zuo, two good generals, they were unable to completely drive those barbarians out of our Da'an territory, let alone annex the tiny country of Keluo and make it submit to He."

Ke Luo's army was lurking at the border, refusing to retreat. General Huo had not returned to the court for several years in order to suppress the arrogant Ke Luo cavalry.

Wei Qingjue simply ordered his soldiers to defend the city and not attack, but to keep the army outside the city walls at the border.

"Mr. Prime Minister, tell me, why is this happening?"

Ning Sinian's narrow eyes flickered slightly, the ends of his eyes were raised, and his tone was a bit nonchalant.

Yun Fang did not reply, but Yun Shuo, the editor of the Imperial Academy, seemed to realize something.

"You mean, those rumors... are true?"

"If I didn't have enough evidence, how could I dare to propose cooperation?"

A picture was spread out, showing a young child.

He stretched out his fingertips slowly,

"This is a portrait of the Prince Regent when he was three years old. Do you think he looks like him now?"

The child was cute and innocent, sitting upright on a high chair, with a softer look than the Regent.

Yun Fang looked at it for a moment, but shook his head.

"That doesn't mean anything. The Prince Regent rarely saw people when he was young. I have only seen him from a distance once. Most of the court officials have also heard those rumors, but most of them are just hearsay."

The most that people alive would think is that the princess was adopted from Ke Luo's concubine, and is ultimately the prince's bloodline.

"But what if you saw this?"

Ning Sinian took out another painting.

On it was a gentle woman, about 20 or 30 years old, or perhaps younger, but she had an inexplicable old look.

But her eyebrows and eyes look 60% similar to the Regent!

"Who, who is this? Isn't this the concubine mentioned in the rumors?"

The Prime Minister was so surprised that his hands trembled, and he asked in a hoarse voice,

"This was drawn by my spy based on the oral description of a palace maid in the Keluo Palace. It has at least 90% of the charm. Even the palace maid said that it looks very much like the queen she serves."

In order to obtain this portrait, he had almost pulled out all the nails he had placed on Colo, and his years of planning were almost ruined.

"More importantly, she said that this lady's child died at the age of six, and our regent only began to appear in front of the public after he was six years old."

"When there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences. Prime Minister, if the Regent King was not from Da'an, could you really tolerate him occupying this top position and acting recklessly?"

The prince in red looked confidently at Yun Fang and Yun Shuo, with a smile on his face.

After a moment of silence, even the dignified Master Yun could no longer sit still.

"The eyes of the royal family of Keluo are mostly emerald green, but the regent's are dark green. I have my doubts about your explanation for now, but it is hard to accept that the regent indulges in stability and does not think about making progress and not leading the army to attack Keluo directly."

Most importantly, he had a bad feeling. Wei Qingjue seemed to be different in Yun Nian's heart. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

The ministers could not resist the king, so they could just dethrone him. They could just support a puppet emperor. As for Ning Sinian...

Yun Shuo sneered quietly, wanting to get the supreme position without considering whether he deserves it or not. After the thing is accomplished, they will come to settle the accounts.

……

Yun Nian was drowsy all the way. When he was too tired to pretend, he fell asleep in the depths of his consciousness and let his original soul come out to deal with Xiyu.

She was originally afraid that her abnormality would be discovered, but the secret guard had an unconcealable smile on his face, as if his long-cherished wish had finally come true.

"Master, we are here. Shall we rest in the inn first?"

The carriage stopped, and the location should be on the street. Even if you don't open the curtain, you can hear the noise of people around you. It's so lively.

Yun Nian came back to her senses and looked at the hand that was stretched out as if to support her. She paused for a moment, but still took it with a charming smile.

"Okay, but you said you would take me to the place where you lived when you were a child. Is this the place?"

She jumped off the carriage and looked back. Most of the people on the street had gentle smiles on their faces, and even their tone of voice was gentle when they bargained with others. Although it was not as magnificent and solemn as Luochuan City, it had its own gentleness.

Nanyan was indeed the land of gentleness that literati and poets lingered on. Even when she came here with some resentment, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"That place... is a bit troublesome. Let's talk about it after you have a day's rest."

Xiyu looked a little embarrassed. Yun Nian felt that he didn't want to take her with him now. Maybe he had some considerations. She blinked and pouted angrily.

"But I want to go now. I like you so much, so of course you have to listen to me."

Even though she was controlled by the "Love" Gu, she should be a somewhat delicate lady who could not allow others to refute her. She could lose her temper as she pleased. If she always went along with Xiyu, it might make him suspicious.

"Well... well, if it is the master's wish, I will obey it."

The carriage stopped inside the inn. After giving the innkeeper a large sum of money, Xiyu took her through the alleys. After she almost felt dizzy, she finally pushed open a tightly closed door.

"here?"

The yard looked a bit run-down. Yun Nian looked around carefully. There were spider webs everywhere. The thin threads gave her goose bumps.

She had been afraid of these things since she was a child. When she was about to ask Xiyu to get rid of them, she saw him push open the bamboo basket, revealing a well mouth.

"Master, come, I'll take you down."

The dark cave entrance is bottomless, as if it leads directly to purgatory.
