In Chu Li's hand, he also took out a secret letter. Seeing this, everyone in the hall dared not speak out, and waited for the next sentence.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin family is going to declare war on Prince Ning's mansion head-on this time!

Eunuch Lu, who was standing beside Emperor Ximing, ran down again, took the secret letter from Chu Li, walked to the hall and presented it to Emperor Ximing.

Emperor Ximing took the secret letter and opened it. After seeing the contents of the secret letter, he raised his eyes to look in the direction of Old General Qin, and then continued to look down.

After a while, Emperor Ximing put away the secret letter, held it in his hand, and looked at Yan Qiuhuai, "Yan Aiqing specially recruited three city lords today, what is his intention?"

Seeing that Emperor Ximing's reaction was flat after reading the secret letter, Old General Qin directly avoided talking about the content of the secret letter, and his heart ached even more. I don't know if it was because he overestimated Chu Li or suffered a lot from Chu Li. He always felt that the content of the secret letter was not that simple.

At this moment, seeing Emperor Ximing asking Yan Qiuhuai, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qu Xinyao and the others.

Yan Qiuhuai was named, and bent down to answer, "According to Ms. Qin of the General's Mansion, when I was with His Royal Highness Ning in the past years, I saw City Lord Xu and Qu often meet with His Highness Ning in private, and His Highness Ning also has a secret base in Heyue City, which specializes in breeding some strange things to break Concubine Rong's formation."

"There is also Daoist Fengxuan, one of the three masters in the world who has lived in Shenyao City for a long time. Recently, he also accepted Princess Ning as his apprentice. I think about the relationship between His Highness Prince Ning and Master Huaiyuan. Now that two city lords are involved, I feel that the matter is really complicated. Perhaps this matter may be because I am too scared, but as a subject, I should solve the emperor's problems."

After Yan Qiuhuai finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.

"Miss Qin is right, what about her?" Qu Xinyao looked at Yanqiu Huai with disdain.

"Mu Yue is restraining her feet in the Plum Blossom Garden." Old General Qin replied in place of Yan Qiuhuai.

Qu Xinyao snorted coldly and looked away.

Emperor Ximing raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Qu Xinyao, "What Xiang Xiang said is the truth?"

"My Majesty, what Yan Xiang said is not wrong, we do often meet in private." Qu Xinyao smiled and answered Emperor Ximing's question.

"Why do you guys meet?" Emperor Ximing's eyes were calm. Today's events came one after another. Yan Qiuhuai's words seemed to be based on imagination, but they seemed to remind him of something.

Qu Xinyao squinted her eyes, looked at Xu Heyu who was standing beside her, and smiled, "Your Majesty and all the adults present may not know that I have admired this City Lord Xu for a long time."

Emperor Ximing frowned, glanced at Xu Heyu, and said, "Then what does this have to do with Li Er?"

"Father, He Yu was the schoolboy of my minister when I was a child, and the grandson of the late Mr. Xu Taiwei." Chu Li opened his thin lips lightly, explaining to Emperor Ximing.

"Xu Taiwei's grandson..." Emperor Ximing frowned and thought for a while, and then he really remembered that after Xu Taiwei died of illness, the rest of the Xu family were robbed and killed. At that time, only one child survived. Later, Qin Taifei saw that the child was pitiful, and gave Chu Li a book boy.

Seeing that Emperor Ximing had figured it out, Qu Xinyao raised the corners of her lips, "Your Majesty, when I was studying art in Qiuye Mountain, Mu Yue was my junior junior sister, and she was pestering His Royal Highness Ning all day long. It's not surprising that I met His Royal Highness Ning."

"Later, I fell in love with City Lord Xu. I heard that he used to be the book boy of His Royal Highness King Ning, so I asked His Highness King Ning to help me speak more nice words in front of City Lord Xu."

After Qu Xinyao finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Yanqiu Huai, "Miss Mu Yue also knows about it, if you don't believe me, go and ask?"

Yan Qiuhuai didn't expect Qu Xinyao to throw the question back to him, her throat choked and she couldn't say a word.

"There is also the secret base that Ms. Muyue mentioned. It is on the mountainside on the outskirts of Heyue City. There is a cave there, and there is a pond in the cave. There are some wild lotus flowers growing in it. It looks pretty good, but it is a bit far-fetched when it comes to breaking the formation. By the way, Miss Muyue often goes with us to this secret base."

When Old General Qin heard the words, anger welled up in his eyes, and he pointed at Qu Xinyao and Xu Heyu, "Don't talk nonsense, and leave the matter to Mu Yue here!"

"Everyone in Xiyuan Kingdom knows that Miss Qin chased His Highness Ning Wang every day in the past. It's not surprising that she knows these things, right?" Qu Xinyao asked.

"You..." Old General Qin glared at Qu Xinyao angrily.

Seeing that there was a commotion in the court hall, Emperor Ximing patted the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, "What does Taoist Fengxuan mean by accepting Mu Yunjin as his disciple?"

"I don't know about this matter. How did Prime Minister Yan know?" Chu Li suddenly smiled and looked at Yan Qiuhuai.

Yanqiu Huai was slightly taken aback.

"Where did Prime Minister Yan hear the gossip, without any evidence to infer, just talking nonsense in this hall? According to what you said, His Highness King Ning still can't make a few friends?" Qu Xinyao sneered.

Then he looked at Qiu Tianhuai, the city lord of Zhangzhou City who had been silently watching the excitement all the time, and smiled, "The city lord Qiu is still the uncle of His Highness Prince Chen, Prime Minister Yan, do you dare to say that City Lord Qiu and His Royal Highness Chen colluded to plot something?"

Chou Tianhuai, who was named, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "City Master Qu was joking."

"There is also Princess Rong who was executed just a few days ago. She also said that she likes to worship Buddha and would often go to Shuiyun Temple to offer incense. So she and Shuiyun Temple also have collusion?" Qu Xinyao added.

After finishing speaking, Qu Xinyao glared at Yanqiu Huai, then looked at Emperor Ximing with a calm expression, "Your Majesty, some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and deliberately provoke the relationship between father and son. I don't know what their intentions are!"

"Your Majesty, I have reported these things today for the sake of the country and society of the Xiyuan Kingdom. I have been loyal to the Emperor and to the Xiyuan Kingdom! On the contrary, City Lord Qu is a woman who speaks wildly here, doesn't follow the rules, and turns black and white!" Yan Qiuhuai knelt down and kowtowed heavily at Emperor Ximing.

Old General Qin was in a trance for a moment, never expecting that Qu Xinyao's verbal skills are so good, in just a few words, she said that the dead were alive!

He originally wanted to make a big fuss about Chu Li's injury to Rong Min. After all, the matter was related to the friendship between the two countries, and the Emperor Ximing had to give Donglin Kingdom an explanation.

But now, he didn't know what the secret letter that Chu Li handed to Emperor Xi Ming was, so he didn't dare to say too much for a while.

At this time, Emperor Ximing was leaning on the dragon chair, scanning the expressions of all the people below. From the beginning of the morning today, Yan Qiuhuai pointed all the spearheads at Chu Li, and Qin Feng added a few words from time to time, but the purpose was the same as Yan Qiuhuai, wanting to bring down Chu Li.

Chu Li has always been happy and angry. Regarding the testimonies of Yanqiu Huai and Qin Feng, he looked open and frank, without any signs of panic or guilt. But what Qu Xinyao said today seems to be a bit more, and they are all well-founded, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Does this kind of speech without a trace of flaw mean that Chu Li was really wronged, or did they have already thought of a set of rhetoric to deal with it before they came.

After thinking about it, Emperor Ximing glanced at the secret letter that had been in his fist since he finished reading it. It was submitted by Chu Li just now, and the content of the secret letter read——

"Li Er, on the way out of Nanting Kingdom, I happened to meet the prince Rong Min of Donglin Kingdom and Prince Chen Chuqing who beat each other up. I wanted to stop to dissuade them, but due to my status, it was very inconvenient. After returning to Beiming Kingdom, I was still worried about this matter, so I wrote a letter to you. I hope you will investigate this matter and give me a reply."

At the end of the secret letter, the exclusive jade seal of Beitang Wenfeng of Beiming Country was affixed.

The matter has developed to this point, and it has gone beyond the scope of Xi Minghuang's brain power guessing. Looking at the faces below, it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

He thought that maybe he had been at ease for too long, so long that he had forgotten how to be a king of a country.

After a long while, Emperor Ximing sighed softly, waved his hand lazily, "Retire!"

Once there is a farce in the court, it will be nothing.

...

On the way out of the palace, Chu Li walked in front, and Qu Xinyao and Xu Heyu walked behind Chu Li. The scenes in the hall just now seemed to be still lingering in front of his eyes.

From the corner of her eye, Qu Xinyao glanced at Yanqiu Huai and Old General Qin who were walking not far behind, and her eyes became even more playful, "This is fun, in the eyes of Emperor Xi Ming, everyone is probably a traitor now, and I will pay more attention to the Qin family and Chu Qing in the future."

"City Lord Qu is right. When the emperor named His Highness King Ning, he already had doubts about His Highness, otherwise he would not have let His Highness go to the poor place of Qingzhou. Now that there is such a commotion, everyone is fair." Ding Xian, who had been following silently, couldn't help but agree.

A few people were chatting in low voices, and the old general Qin behind him had already caught up. When he wanted to go up to talk to Chu Li, Qu Xinyao stopped him, "Grandpa Qin, I remember that you had been free to take care of yourself a while ago? Why are you haunting the court again recently? Do you think that Major General Qin can't take on important responsibilities?"

Calling Grandpa Qin, Qin Feng felt it was very ironic. When Qu Xinyao and the brothers and sisters of the Qin family were studying arts together in Qiuye Mountain, even though the girl had a bit of a bad temper, he also regarded her as half of her granddaughter, but she did not expect to be from Chu Li's side.

"His Royal Highness Ning, please stay." Old General Qin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and took a few steps forward, walking towards Chu Li.

After Chu Li in front heard the voice, his footsteps slowed down slightly, and he squinted at Old General Qin, "What's the matter?"

"When the matter comes to this point, let's be clear that people don't talk dark words. With such a group of elites behind him, His Highness King Ning is determined to fight for the throne?" Old General Qin's voice was very low, and his old eyes were full of light.

Hearing Old General Qin's words, Chu Li's eyes showed a bit of teasing, he shook his head at Old General Qin, with a very charming and deep smile on his lips, and said calmly and coldly——

"Actually, this king is more interested in your head than the throne."
