Chapter 292 Mysterious Friend (Part )

Su Liuyue, however, could not be optimistic.

She was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Aunt, I know you want to comfort me, but...what happened yesterday was obviously a trap set for the Xue family.

The Feng family was on the list of previous dynasties listed by His Majesty. The court soldiers had searched the family several times from inside to outside more than a month ago, but they could not find the so-called Xinjing defense maps. "

It's just that, unlike the Xue family, the Feng family was not targeted by the emperor's edict, so their house was searched less often.

Therefore, the mastermind behind this would not dare to leave the defense map in the Xue family.

After all, judging from the frequency of the officers and soldiers conducting a major search every five days and a minor search every three days on the Xue family's wall, they should have been able to count how many ant nests there were on the Xue family's walls. How could they not find those defense maps?

It would be more reasonable to say that it was found in Feng's house.

"Before Feng Qilang was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, he clearly didn't say anything. How come after he was arrested, he suddenly knew that those defense maps were brought by my uncle?"

Su Liuyue sneered and said, "Aunt, if someone is intent on targeting the Xue family, it will be useless no matter how much we defend ourselves and cry out for justice.

Now Feng Zhongcheng still has the sense of justice not to implicate my uncle, but what if someone threatens him with the lives of Feng family members? What if someone threatens him with the fate of the Feng family? "

Su Liuyue studies human psychology, so she knows from the bottom of her heart that human nature cannot stand the test.

Even if Feng Zhongcheng would rather sacrifice the entire Feng family than implicate his uncle, what about the other members of the Feng family?
If the other members of the Feng family all pointed fingers at their uncle like Feng Qilang, what would be the point of Feng Zhongcheng's rebuttal alone?
Princess Changxi was completely speechless for a moment. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Liu Yue, what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, auntie, I won't take any risks with myself. Besides, now I am more than just myself."

Su Liuyue smiled faintly, stood up again, and said to Ersi: "Call Fengqi in."

Seeing the calm and resolute expression on the woman in front of her, Princess Changxi was stunned.

Perhaps, she underestimated the woman in front of her again.

No matter what time, she is not a delicate flower that needs to be protected.

But a warrior who can advance against wind and rain.

Feng Qi walked in quickly and bowed, saying, "I greet the queen."

Su Liuyue said calmly: "Send someone to keep a close eye on the Dali Temple, and come back to inform me immediately if there is any progress in my uncle's case.

Also, get ready, I'm leaving Beijing to visit my third cousin in Xinfeng County."

Everyone looked surprised. Feng Qi was stunned for a while before asking, "Your Highness, are you going to leave the capital secretly, or..."

"No, I want to leave in a high-profile manner, as high-profile as possible. Send someone to spread the word that I am not feeling comfortable in the capital, and I heard that Xinfeng County has beautiful scenery and I want to go there to relax."

Princess Changxi couldn't help but say, "Liu Yue, you clearly know that those people are targeting the Xue family, but you still want to leave the capital in a high-profile manner at this moment. Isn't it obvious that your actions are unusual? What if you provoke some villains?..."

"My goal is to provoke them over there."

Su Liuyue said: "Aunt, the mastermind chose this moment to attack the Xue family because he felt that the time was ripe in all aspects and he could close the net."

Princess Changxi looked puzzled: "Are the times... ripe in all aspects?"

"Yes, whether it is the degree of hatred that His Majesty has for the officials of the previous dynasty or the degree of his annoyance with the officials sent by the Crown Prince, they have reached a certain height. At this time, no matter what His Majesty does, it is perfectly normal.

For example, the emperor issued an order to arrest all members of the Xue family, including my third cousin who was currently serving in Xinfeng County. "

Princess Changxi opened her eyes slightly, "You mean, the real target of those people is your third cousin?!" "To be precise, it's Xinfeng County."

Su Liuyue said calmly: "Your Highness said before that Xinfeng County is close to Xinjing, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the place connected to Xinjing is a dense jungle.

If the enemy occupied Xinfeng County, they could rely on the cover of Xinfeng County's surrounding environment to send troops to Xinjing without anyone noticing.

Therefore, Your Highness had previously found a way to have my third cousin appointed as the county magistrate of Xinfeng County.

Previously, although the emperor issued an imperial decree against the Xue family, the strange thing is that he suspended my uncle and my eldest cousin from their posts, but...he did not suspend my third cousin from his post."

Princess Changxi was a little confused. "Maybe, your third cousin is not in the capital now, so His Majesty doesn't think it's necessary to suspend him? Or maybe, at that time, His Majesty didn't want to make things so awkward with Yun Ke..."

However, she felt guilty when she gave those reasons.

Although Xue Wenjin was not holding office in the capital, Xinfeng County was just outside Xinjing, so suspending him from his post was just a matter of issuing an imperial edict.

As for the fact that His Majesty doesn’t want to make things so ugly with Yun Ke… He has already issued an imperial decree against the Xue family, isn’t that ugly enough?
As she was talking, she couldn't continue. She took a breath and said, "You mean, the emperor didn't target Xue Sanlang. It wasn't his original intention, but... someone instigated him to do so?"

"Yes."

Su Liuyue's voice was slightly cold, "The real purpose of the person who instigated His Majesty was not to let Your Highness and I know that they were targeting the Xue family. In addition to provoking the relationship between His Majesty and Your Highness, they also had another very important purpose - to occupy Xinfeng County.

Previously, Xinfeng County had always been firmly controlled by His Highness because of its unique geographical location.

If something happened to my third cousin whom His Highness sent to Xinfeng County before His Highness went on the expedition, His Highness would definitely send another person there immediately to replace my third cousin's position.

However, now that His Highness is not in the capital, they can do whatever they want."

Realizing what those people intended to do after occupying Xinfeng County, Princess Changxi couldn't help but feel cold all over.

She gritted her teeth secretly and said, "The one who can make His Majesty do things according to his ideas without knowing it must be someone close to His Majesty! Prime Minister You must be this villain again! The King of Wei has lost the trust of His Majesty, but he still won't give up! Could it be that he wants to force the emperor to abdicate directly!"

Although the King of Wei secretly contacted foreign tribes, which was a taboo for the emperor, Prime Minister You tried to rescue the King of Wei afterwards, but seeing that the emperor was determined, he was very smart and didn't say anything more.

In addition, Prime Minister You was one of the first people to follow His Majesty. The reason why His Majesty embarked on the path of competing for the world was ultimately because of the instigation of the You family. His Majesty still trusts Prime Minister You very much.

Su Liuyue was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Although the person who instigated His Majesty was most likely Prime Minister You, but... the person who was behind the scenes to sow discord between the dignitaries of the old and new dynasties was not necessarily him.

If the You family had such a mind and strategy, how could they let the King of Wei be caught by the tail so easily by His Highness and suppress him so much that he couldn't even raise his head? "

The King of Wei’s previous actions can be described in one word: stupid.

The King of Wei and the You family are obviously not on the same level as the mastermind that she and Her Highness have been unable to catch no matter what during this period of time.

I'm afraid that Prime Minister You was also used by him.

Princess Changxi asked quickly: "Who could that be?"

"I went to Changfeng County this time just to fish him out, didn't I?"

Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully: "No matter how deep that person hides, he can't hide any longer when the final part of the plan is about to end.

Smart people know that if they hide at this time, the fruits of their hard work may be picked by others.

If the importance of Xinfeng County is not enough for him to show up in person, then add me.

We can finally have our mysterious friend show up in person."
