Although it was inappropriate to secretly help Prince Xituo investigate the case without telling the emperor, it was a bit inappropriate.

But since the grandson and granddaughter-in-law were able to bring the eldest brother back, they naturally had considered it.

In Xituo, the king and the crown prince did not care about their grandson's identity as the general of the Beixin Dynasty and treated him like a family member.

She will naturally treat you with sincerity.

Of course, she also believed that the current emperor was wise and brave, and loved peace. If one day the truth was found out and someone really committed the murder, she believed that the emperor would be able to take charge of the situation, severely punish the murderer, and give justice to the victim.

Xiao Chunran was deeply moved by Mrs. Mu's understanding and at the same time felt slightly relieved.

My sister's in-laws are really nice.

As they were talking, someone came running over the gate and reported, "Someone has come from the palace. His Majesty wants Madam to come into the palace."

The emperor summoned Shen Qingyin, and she did not dare to delay. She changed her clothes hurriedly, taking off the white dress she wore when entering the city and putting on a plain dress.

Mu Beiyan still disguised himself as a guard, and followed Shen Qingyin into the palace together with two other guards with similar build to him and several maids.

They all knew that the emperor said he was summoning Shen Qingyin, but in fact he wanted to see Mu Beiyan.

After he secretly reported his fake death to the emperor, he never sent any news to the emperor again.

His Majesty the Emperor was naturally extremely anxious and wanted to know the inside story.

After entering the Mingzheng Hall, Shen Qingyin bowed to greet the emperor. He looked up and saw Eunuch De standing next to the emperor. He immediately felt something was wrong.

She knew that Eunuch De was Qin Yueze's spy, but the emperor was obviously unaware of this and still trusted him very much...

"General's wife, please accept my condolences!" Emperor Qin Zhong said in a deep voice.

This surprised Shen Qingyin a little.

There was no one else in the hall except Eunuch De at the moment. Mu Beiyan and several other guards and maids were still waiting outside the hall.

His Majesty the Emperor did not directly ask what he wanted to know most, but instead told him a lie to cover up his mistake...

Obviously, these words can only be said to Eunuch De.

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor does not trust Eunuch De?

"Little Dezi, you please go out first. Go outside and ask the other guards and maids in the general's mansion to come in. I want to ask them in detail about the general." His Majesty the Emperor ordered Eunuch De with a sad look on his face.

This sentence almost made Shen Qingyin certain that the emperor was really on guard against Eunuch De.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not what he thought he was in his previous life. He was betrayed by the people around him and he was completely unaware of it...

Soon, Mu Beiyan and other people from the general's mansion also entered the hall and knelt down to pay their respects.

Qin Zhong glanced over and couldn't tell which one was Mu Beiyan.

Mu Beiyan took the initiative to step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty the best of health."

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Zhong finally recognized it.

"My dear, please stand up quickly." Qin Zhong hurriedly signaled Mu Beiyan to stand up. He looked Mu Beiyan up and down, his eyes full of heartache, "General, you have suffered a lot. Now that you have returned safely, I feel relieved."

As he spoke, he waved towards Mu Beiyan, asking him to come forward and answer.

Mu Beiyan walked up to the emperor, bowed, and explained the reason in detail.

The more Qin Zhong listened, the uglier his expression became. At the end, he flew into a rage. "To murder our great general on the battlefield is tantamount to treason! If I find the person who instigated it, I will not let him off easily!"

After a pause, he asked again, "My dear, have you found out where the man in black who delivered the letter back to the city went?"

Mu Beiyan looked embarrassed. "Your Majesty, the people we sent to follow them said that the two messengers disappeared when they reached the outskirts of Beijing. They are very likely still hiding in the outskirts of Beijing. I have already sent people to search for them secretly..."

The two people who delivered the letter did not go directly into the city as expected, but instead made a turn in the suburbs of Beijing and disappeared. This shows that the person behind them was very cautious.

The letter must have been spread long ago, but how it was spread is still unknown.

Qin Zhong frowned, "Humph, this is really a cunning fox!"

After a pause, he asked again, "What plans does the general have next?"

"Your Majesty, the man behind the scenes tried so hard to kill me, a great general, that he must have some ulterior motive. Now that I am dead, his wish has been fulfilled. Next, he will certainly take action. As for what he is going to do, why don't you recall General Xu, Li Jun and others and keep a close eye on them..."

Qin Zhong nodded: "Well, since the border has ceased fighting, I should transfer them back to the court. Later, I will issue an order that except for General Huang Lao, all other generals will return to the court and be resettled."

After saying this, Qin Zhong couldn't help but exclaimed: "This time, Xituo was able to withdraw its troops unconditionally. You and your wife have made an indelible contribution. I should reward you greatly! However, the truth of the matter cannot be made public yet. We can only wait for a while."

According to what Mu Beiyan had just reported, they took the miracle doctor to Xituo and cured the chronic illness of the king of Xituo, allowing the king to take control of the government again. The king withdrew his troops out of gratitude.

Mu Beiyan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I do not ask for rewards. I only hope that the Beixin Dynasty can be peaceful and prosperous."

As for the secrets between Xiao Chucheng and Xiao Chunran, he promised not to tell them, so he would not tell them. Besides, there was no need to tell them.

Qin Zhong nodded slightly, and sighed sincerely: "If all the ministers in the court were like the general, why would our Beixin Dynasty not be prosperous and peaceful?"

The king and his minister whispered to each other for a long time.

Shen Qingyin and several others were either standing or standing in the middle of the hall, so even though they were so close, he couldn't hear most of the words clearly.

After another round of whispers, Mu Beiyan cupped his hands and whispered, "Your Majesty, the intentions of the mastermind behind this are still unclear. Your Majesty must be careful in the palace..."

The intention is unclear because there is no evidence.

But to get rid of a country's general, the intention can actually be guessed to some extent. It is not ruled out that someone wants to launch a mutiny and usurp the throne...

Qin Zhong nodded.

Mu Beiyan could think of this, and as the ruler of a country, he had also thought of this...

The door of the palace was opened, and Eunuch De was seen standing outside the door. Shen Qingyin walked out of the palace, and the people behind him all lowered their heads with sad looks.

"Madam General, please stay." Not far from the Mingzheng Hall, someone called Shen Qingyin.

Shen Qingyin turned around and recognized her as the maid beside the Queen Mother.

"Madam General, the Queen Mother invites you." The maid knelt slightly.

Shen Qingyin nodded in response, exchanged a subtle glance with Mu Beiyan, and ordered his followers to wait at the palace gate first, and only took Yun Wei with him to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw the Queen Mother coming out to greet me personally.

"See the Queen Mother."

Shen Qingyin knelt down to salute, but the Queen Mother helped him up, "No need to be polite, get up quickly!"
