Summer passed, and after three months on the road, Bo Jinnian finally reached the border.

After he arrived, he was immediately greeted by the current border army general Mo Cong.

Bo Jinnian was very humble and spoke very politely, which made Mo Cong feel at ease.

After hanging around for a few days, I finally found an opportunity to meet Dong Xizhou.

The two were acquaintances, and everyone in the army knew about it, so the two did not hide their relationship and were often together.

Dong Xizhou has already found out who the spy is and secretly told Bo Jinnian that it is Mo Cong's deputy general and his son-in-law Chang Rong.

Chang Rong was very wary of Bo Jinnian and Dong Xizhou, and even knew that the letters sent by Bo Jinnian were intercepted and checked by him.

Fortunately, only Shen Yiran could understand what was in his heart. It was something they had agreed on in advance.

Mo Cong happened to have some urgent military information to send back, so he asked Bo Jinnian's family letter to be sent back as well.

However, he didn't expect that Chang Rong had changed the military intelligence report, but was afraid that it would be exposed in the future, so he sent Bo Jinnian's letter home as usual.

Bo Jinnian felt relieved after knowing that his letter had been sent.

All he could do here was to resist the Huns, and all other matters had to be left to Shen Yiran.

Chang Rong monitored Bo Jinnian and found that apart from training very hard, there was nothing suspicious about him, so he felt relieved.

However, Dong Xizhou was unwilling to wait like this. After listening to Bo Jinnian's talk about the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai and the prince's speculation, he encouraged Bo Jinnian to take the initiative.

Dong Xizhou's method is to start a war. Once the war breaks out, it cannot be concealed.

However, Bo Jinnian was unwilling to exchange the lives of the people on the border for the safety of the emperor.

After hearing this, Dong Xizhou agreed.

The express letter, which was sent eight hundred miles away, arrived in half a month. Shen Yiran read it immediately after receiving the letter.

After greeting his family in his heart, Bo Jinnian talked about Shen Yunyan's death, and said that they were family after all, so he asked Shen Yiran and Song Qizhao to reestablish contact.

This was very incongruous, so Shen Yiran immediately rushed over to ask Bo Jinjue: "Is the son-in-law of the Border Army General also in the army?"

Bo Jinjue nodded: "Chang Rong, the son-in-law who marries into the wife's family."

Shen Yiran understood what Bo Jinnian meant and took the letter to show the old lady. After everyone passed it around, Bo Jinjue had come to his senses.

"Chang Rong is the spy in the army!"

Shen Yiran nodded: "The letter was delivered so quickly, it must have come with military intelligence. I think the military situation is stable."

Knowing that it was Chang Rongdong's doing, after reverse analysis, he pointed the finger directly at the Prince's tutor.

Chang Rong is the nephew of Prince's tutor Chang Bing. He was willing to marry into the Mohist family because he was an orphan and grew up in the Prince's tutor's home.

Everything clearly pointed to the prince, there was no longer any doubt.

"But the prince is still young, why is he in such a hurry to ascend the throne?"

Shen Yiran still didn't understand this.

But this is no longer the focus at the moment. The focus is how to expose the prince.

"The Crown Prince has so many followers. If we expose them to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will surely be on guard against him, right?"

As Xu spoke, she looked at Bo Jinxiu, who had been silent for a long time.

Bo Jinxiu saw that everyone was looking at him, rubbed his head with his hand and said, "I think I know the answer to the question my sister-in-law asked just now, but I never took it to heart."

Everyone who heard this urged him to speak quickly.

Bo Jinxiu said, "Didn't Concubine Ying fake her pregnancy before?"

At that time, I was drinking and eating with my colleagues, and I heard one of them say that His Majesty doted on Concubine Ying, and if she gave birth to a prince in the future, there was no certainty that anything would happen.

Bo Jinxiu sighed and said, "I just thought that person was from Marquis Yongyi's group, so he naturally said that. It seems that the prince was also concerned at the time."

Yes!

At that time, Marquis Yongyi won over the Wang family of Langya and did many things in Kyoto, and his power was enormous.

The prince was naturally worried that the Marquis of Yongyi would use this child to make trouble, not to mention that he had the support of the Wang family of Langya behind him.

The prince was born to a concubine, and his mother died during childbirth, which resulted in his position being determined. His mother's family was weak, so the prince must have been very anxious.

Although Marquis Yongyi is dead, there may be other people who will appear in the future.

What's more, the power of the third prince has risen, and his biological mother is the imperial concubine, and the power of the foreign relatives is strong. The prince naturally feels that he cannot compete.

The prince took this unconventional approach only because he wanted to stabilize his position in advance.

Everyone was somewhat blaming Bo Jinxiu for telling them such an important matter only now.

Shen Yiran said, "It's not too late. The prince must want the cooperation of our mansion. The prince must know that we can trip up the Marquis of Yongyi and the Wang family of Langya."

I hope Bo Jinnian won't make any moves in the army, otherwise...

But as time goes by, the situation may not be the same, so the most urgent task is for them to find a way to expose the prince and eliminate his power at the same time.

Rong Qingqing immediately said, "How about winning over the Third Prince?"

The old lady immediately denied it: "The risk is too great!"

Bo Jinjue said with a distressed look on his face: "The Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai will be held in autumn, and we don't have much time."

"The prince has been planning for so long, and he dared to do such a treasonous thing. How can we stop him in such a hurry? Don't fail to eliminate the prince's power, but instead plant disasters for the future."

Bo Jinxiu obviously thought the same, and immediately persuaded: "Yes, I think we are still being controlled. As long as we don't control it, we won't offend His Majesty or the Crown Prince."

They were right, and Shen Yiran couldn't refute it.

After all, the emperor had not shown much favor to their mansion, and now he had turned against them so completely and ruthlessly, which should have chilled their hearts long ago.

Although the prince behaved improperly, there have been many such incidents in the dynasties throughout history. If the prince can succeed, the marquis's mansion may be reused in the future.

Shen Yiran was in no position to speak. Such an important matter could only wait for the Old Lady's decision. No matter which path he chose, all Shen Yiran had to do was to maintain the safety of the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady was silent for a while and said, "The easy way in the world is not necessarily the shortcut. If we want to withdraw halfway, will the prime minister let us go?"

Bo Jinxiu and Bo Jinjue were shocked when they heard this: "We forgot about him!"

Xu said coldly: "It's normal to forget about him. This old villain didn't do anything after he harmed us. We might have been fooled by him!"

Rong Qingqing was shocked and said, "Oh my God, then we are in a dilemma, no matter which way we go, we can't go any further."

Everyone was in a state of confusion and panic.

Shen Yiran stood up and spoke: "Don't panic, things haven't reached that point yet. The Prime Minister may not have taken any action, we just don't know about it yet."

Rong Qingqing said in a tearful voice, "If you don't know, then it's gone. His daughter was the one who contacted us about this matter. When he shrinks his neck, we will be the only ones to suffer! This is terrible!"

Xu was infected by her emotions and immediately thought of Bo Yuhong. She said in panic, "Does that mean that our current situation is that we are just waiting to be slaughtered?"
