Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

When Qi Sui'an heard this, his face suddenly changed, he shook her hand away and scolded her angrily.

"Shut up! How can you say such nonsense? The throne is the most important thing for the country, how can it be determined by your and my selfish desires? Damn, your ambition has made you lose your direction. If you don't stop, you will end up in an irreparable end!"

*** stood there in a daze. She had never seen Qi Suian so angry. She couldn't help but feel a little fear in her heart, but it was soon replaced by deeper resentment.

"Well, since you are so determined, let's wait and see. I want to see how you can find the truth amidst the fog and how you can protect that so-called 'kind' woman!"

After saying that, *** snorted coldly, turned around and left, his back looking both lonely and desolate.

Qi Suian looked at her back with mixed feelings, but he couldn't care less now. She was a crazy woman who would be bitten by herself in the end!

He went to see General Meng Huai.

This old general was very powerful when the late emperor was alive and was an important minister close to the late emperor. However, with the ascension of the new emperor, he gradually lost his power.

However, when the Southern Barbarians rebelled, the new emperor's throne was not stable, and it was impossible for him to eliminate all the old ministers at once. This old General Meng had also participated in the Southern Barbarians' affairs.

After handing over his business card, he stood outside the door and asked for a meeting.

Not long after, the servants came to chase him away: "General Meng is now unemployed and does not want to see guests. You can leave now."

"It's an important matter related to the government. I hope the old general can meet me." Qi Sui'an's attitude was very sincere.

"It's even more impossible for the old general to see you. He said that he is now unemployed at home and the affairs of state have nothing to do with him from now on." The servant said as he was about to close the door.

Qi Sui'an was quick to hold the door open, his eyes firm and sincere: "Please inform me again, and tell me that I have important clues about the old case of Nanyi. It may solve some mysteries of the past, and it is also related to the stability of the court today."

The servant hesitated when he heard this, but finally nodded and turned around to report again. Not long after, heavy footsteps were heard from inside the door, and then an old man with white hair and beard but sharp eyes walked out slowly. It was General Meng Huai.

"Your Highness, you are too polite. I am just an idle person. How can I interfere in the affairs of the court?" Although General Meng's voice sounded old, it was full of energy and revealed his former majesty.

Qi Sui'an bowed deeply, his tone sincere.

"The old general is a pillar of the country. Although he has retired, he still cares about the safety of the country. I came here this time because there is a new wave of disturbance in the South Barbarians, and this case seems to be manipulated by a mastermind with ill intentions. I dare to ask the old general for guidance."

General Meng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, as if he was touched. He hesitated for a moment, and finally made way: "Your Highness, please come in. Although I am old, if I can help the court, I will do my best."

After entering the study, the two sat down as host and guest. Qi Suian told them a series of events that had happened recently, especially Shen Mengyao being framed, new prisoners in the inner jail, and his own suspicions about the old case of Nan Yi.

General Meng listened carefully, nodding from time to time and frowning from time to time.

"You mean... Duke Shen was accused of treason?" He stroked his beard and snorted, "It was because of him that I was not taken seriously by the emperor. Do you think I would care about him?"

Qi Sui'an turned his eyes and chuckled, saying, "Although General Meng has a bad temper, he has the country at heart. He should know now that there are heavy troops on the northern Mexican border. It is not wise to change generals at this time."

"Stop flattering me." Meng Huai snorted coldly, but he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

Qi Sui'an added: "The fact that General Meng did not reject me shows that you have a sense of justice and still care about the affairs of the court."

Meng Huai sighed and nodded heavily.

"What the prince said is indeed true. Although I am old, I am unwilling to give up. Since you asked, I will tell you everything I know."

"Does the old general know where this thing came from? Who is he related to?" Qi Sui'an eagerly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.

Meng Huai Lao Jiang took it and looked through it carefully. Suddenly he saw something unusual and his face became serious.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

Qi Sui'an sighed softly: "This thing was obtained by me from the eldest prince. As for how I got it, it won't be too late to talk about the details later."

General Meng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Do you suspect that this thing is strange? I can only say that it is indeed a thing from the Southern Barbarians, and judging by the value of the material, it must be something from the royal family."

Qi Sui'an was moved when he heard this: "Royal family? Then do you know how this thing got on the eldest prince?"

Mentioning this past event, Meng Huai also sighed.

"Your Highness may not know that the eldest prince's mother is the daughter of the Southern Yi royal family. Back then, the marriage between the two countries was quite a good story. But I didn't expect that in just a few years, the situation on the border changed drastically. Daqi and the Southern Yi became enemies. Unable to tolerate it any longer, the emperor sent troops to pacify the Southern Yi."

Qi Sui'an frowned and said in a deep voice: "But the news inside and outside the palace all say that Concubine Wen is the biological mother of the eldest prince."

Meng Huai shook his head and sighed.

"At that time, the eldest prince was still young, the Southern Barbarians were destroyed, and his biological mother died because of excessive worry day and night. The emperor asked Concubine Wen to raise the eldest prince and ordered that no one was allowed to mention this matter. If anyone mentioned it, they would be killed without mercy. Over time, no one talked about this matter anymore. People in and out of the palace were replaced one after another, and naturally no one knew about it."

"So that's how it is." Qi Sui'an nodded thoughtfully. He really knew nothing about this past event.

"I was scared when you took out this thing just now. I thought it was the remnant of the Southern Yi. Since he is the eldest prince, it is not surprising that his mother left something for him." Meng Huai returned the jade pendant to him.

"Thank you for your advice, General. I will look into this matter in detail." Qi Sui'an stood up and bowed again to express his gratitude.

General Meng nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness is young and promising, and he cares about the world. Although I cannot do it myself, I will do my best to help if you need it. However, this matter is complicated, Your Highness needs to be careful and not let the villain succeed."

Qi Sui'an was grateful and knew that he had gained a lot from this trip. After bidding farewell to General Meng,

He immediately called Bei Lan and asked him to investigate Zhang Daozi to see if he was an old friend of Nanyi. On the other hand, he secretly protected Shen Mengyao to prevent any accidents.
