After Lu Huan, who was about to fall asleep, heard Yi Wen's words, he sat up suddenly like a cat whose tail had been guessed. He looked at Yi Wen in disbelief. Lu Huan opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something.

Something, but he held it back. At this time, Lan Ning's expression was also a little stiff, and he no longer had the feeling of relaxed conversation and laughter just now. Yi Wen's words directly brought the atmosphere in the big tent to a freezing point.

"Haha, why do you think so?" Lan Ning asked after calming down. Lan Ning was staring at Yi Wen, not knowing what he was thinking, but when Yi Wen saw Lan Ning's expression,

I was already 90% sure that my guess was correct.

Yi Wen's conjecture was not groundless. He probably had this idea from the Battle of Xiangcheng he participated in.

Although Yi Wen has never met His Majesty the Emperor, he has heard about His Majesty's character since he was a child. Zhou Zhi has two advantages, one of which is that he loves the people like a son. Ever since Yufeng Kingdom started to attack Gu Anguo from two lines

, I don’t know how many Baixins have fallen into a homeless situation. His Majesty the Emperor cannot turn a blind eye to this situation. Even the next edict can express his attitude. But what makes Yi Wen a little strange is that His Majesty the Emperor even

No edict was issued.

Another point is that His Majesty the Emperor was not appointed as the Crown Prince at that time. The Supreme Emperor favored sons who were good at fighting. It was only because His Majesty the Emperor was not interested in war that he was given the title of Prince. However, in the end His Majesty the Emperor was able to win the cruel war.

The fact that he became the final winner in the direct battle shows that he has extraordinary methods. What troubles the other brothers the most is His Majesty's character of revenge.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is not interested in war, it does not mean that you will not fight back if others attack you at your doorstep. In addition, Shu Siyin poisoned hundreds of thousands of civilians, officers and soldiers in Yunling City that day and were in dire straits. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor

No matter what, it is impossible to stand idly by. And at this time, no one with a little bit of brains will dissuade His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, he is really seeking death.

To sum up the above points, Yi Wen feels that it is very acceptable. Since His Majesty the Emperor did not listen to the slander, the way this matter was handled is not in line with His Majesty the Emperor's character. In addition, Lan Ning's expression just now after hearing his question

, then there is only one possibility, and that is that something happened to His Majesty.

"Commander Yi, you are really... Haha, war can really temper a person to such an extent in a short period of time. Heroes come from young, Commander Yi, you are right, your majesty has no way to take care of the government for the time being.

"Yes." Lan Ning originally wanted to say something after hearing Yi Wen's analysis, but in the end he shook his head and confirmed Yi Wen's analysis.

"What happened to your Majesty?" Lu Huan on the side did not know about this matter. When he listened to Yi Wen's analysis, his expression became serious. At the same time, he was shocked by Yi Wen's experiences in Yunling City and Xiangcheng.

, he did not expect that people from Yufeng Kingdom would even use such despicable tricks, but what he is more concerned about now is what happened to His Majesty.

"About half a year ago..."

Six months ago, Emperor Zhou Zhi had already been processing official documents for a day and night in order to deal with the surrounding forces' response to Yufeng Kingdom's attack on Gu'an Kingdom. After retreating from the court the next day, before all the civil and military officials had left the main hall, Emperor Zhou Zhi was stunned.

He fell to the ground and was later diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being mentally exhausted and overworked.

But after more than half a month, the emperor Zhou Zhi still showed no sign of improvement. This made all the civil and military officials anxious. The imperial doctor in the palace tried all the available methods, but still nothing happened.

As a result, the emperor's royal pharmacist finally discovered that something was wrong. This pharmacist was once a poisoner. He was well versed in the effects of various poisons on people. When he diagnosed the emperor, he found that the emperor had been poisoned and had taken the medicine.

It took a long time, and it has already caused some damage to His Majesty the Emperor's body.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the pharmacist stabilized the condition. However, after such a long time, His Majesty the Emperor still has not improved at all. The people of the Yinlei Department scattered all over the Gu'an Kingdom to secretly search for famous doctors, but there was no effect at all. Even Bei

The Nie family in Lin'an was also helpless.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is fine for the time being, he still cannot be too tired. All government affairs can only be handled by the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince is a timid person and has not developed any countermeasures so far. He can only let Yunbian County

Also, most of Feilian County fell into the hands of Yufeng Kingdom in vain.

This was the first time Yi Wen and Lu Huan had heard of all the reasons. After Lan Ning finished speaking, Lu Huan frowned and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he asked: "What is General Ao doing? Why is he doing this?"

Don’t you ask the emperor for orders?”

"Hey, things in the court are not so simple. General Ao has outstanding military achievements. Although General Ao has no official position now, he can still speak in the court. Now that the prince is supervising the country, if Ao

If the old general interferes too much, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many people in the court. When the time comes, General Ao's enemies will accuse the general of national affairs, and then Gu'an will really be finished." Lan Ning shook his head.

He shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Yi Wen and Lu Huan stopped talking. It was indeed not that General Ao did not dare to speak because he was old, but that he had a very clear understanding of his position. If General Ao was really timid, then

He would not have led troops to support Xiangcheng after receiving the news from Jiang Tianyuan. The current situation is just as Lan Ning said. If General Ao was defeated by some ministers, then the army would not be completed in Baizhulou.

Gu Anguo couldn't hold on before.

After a while, Yi Wen thought for a while and said: "Commander Lan, do you have any clues about the emperor's poisoning now?"

Logically speaking, cases in the palace should be handled by Dali Temple, but the Emperor's most trusted person is the Yin Lei Department, which is the most trusted by Emperor Zhou Zhi. Therefore, such matters are usually left to both Dali Temple and Yin Lei Department to investigate the case at the same time.

In terms of experience in investigating cases, Dali Temple definitely has an advantage, but when it comes to detecting clues, the people from the Hidden Mine Department are definitely better.

After Yi Wen finished asking, Lan Ning did not answer his question directly. Instead, he walked outside the tent and looked around until he confirmed that no one was there. Then he came back and said to Yi Wen: "Although this matter has not been fully investigated yet,

He came out, but it may be related to the people from Dali Temple. Since he is related to Dali Temple, Xu Youyou basically cannot escape the relationship."

"How dare he, Xu Youyou,?!" Lu Huan said with a frown.

"Don't tell me, he might really do this." Yi Wen heard what Qi Xin said with his own ears. If Xu Youyou really showed his ambition as Qi Xin said, then Xu Youyou really did this.

It is possible for someone to do such a thing. Now that the suspect has been identified, all that needs to be done now is how to find the evidence.

"Commander Lan, do you have any ideas now?" Yi Wen has no experience in this kind of thing, so he can only listen to Lan Ning's thoughts first. Yi Wen always hates the intrigues in the palace, so he usually doesn't like this kind of thing.

He doesn't know much about things. But now when he needs to have experience in this area, he can only scratch his head.

Some things may not be useful after you learn them, but by the time you learn them, it will be too late.

"I have sent people to monitor Xu Youyou. This person's recent whereabouts are a bit suspicious. He seems to be really investigating the case, but we don't know a lot of things behind the scenes. He disappears every time when we are about to find something.

Yes. Someone must be helping him behind this." Lan Ning frowned and said, apparently thinking about something.

While telling Yi Wen and others.

"Commander Lan, are you wondering who is helping him?" Yi Wen said when he saw something was wrong with Lan Ning's expression.

Lan Ning then smiled and said, "Oh, yes, the person behind Xu Youyou is indeed a bit unpredictable."

Afterwards, Yi Wen and Lan Ning chatted for a while before leaving the Yin Lei Military Camp. Yi Wen and Lu Huan did not speak along the way. The news they heard from Lan Ning today really made them feel sad.

It was a little hard to accept. Especially Yi Wen, who had personally experienced the two battles of Xiangcheng and Yunling City. The frontline soldiers fought bloody battles to defend their homeland, but the prince did not send troops just because he was timid. This

It really put Yi Wen in a bad mood. Taking a step back, the person fighting on the battlefield was not his Highness the Crown Prince but tens of thousands of soldiers. What did he have to be afraid of?

Halfway through, Lu Huan saw something wrong with Yi Wen's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Yi Wen shook his head and said, "I don't quite believe what Commander Lan said. Oh, I'm not doubting Commander Lan. What I mean is that everything we hear now is based on hearsay, and we have never met Xu Youyou himself.

, so it’s a little early to draw a conclusion now. I’m going to find some time to ask Mr. Yang, the Minister of Justice, about this matter. Mr. Yang is still trustworthy.”

Yi Wen now has an indescribable feeling in his heart. This feeling is like when he was waiting for Yan Wuji to assassinate them in Yunling City, but what was waiting was Shu Siyin who had sneaked into Yunling City. This made him

For a moment, he didn't know what to do. As the commander of the Hidden Thunder Department, Lan Ning could be said to be the army directly under the emperor. There was no doubt about his loyalty to the emperor, but he always felt that there was something wrong with what Lan Ning said, but he still felt that there was something wrong with what Lan Ning said.

I can't find anything. I can't tell Lu Huan these things yet. Lan Ning is Lu Huan's boss. It's really inappropriate to doubt his friend's boss without any evidence.

After Yi Wen returned to the city, he stayed directly at Lu Huan's home. Lu Huan's most important thing recently was to assassinate the master of Junlai Pavilion, so he basically lived at home. Now that Yi Wen is here, the house is much more lively.

Just when Yi Wen, Lu Youqing and Lu Sheng were reminiscing about old times, Lu Huan came in from outside and said that Mr. Yang, the Minister of Punishment, sent someone to see Yi Wen. It seemed that he wanted to see Yi Wen for something important.

Yi Wen was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he couldn't hide the fact that he came to Yong'an City even if he wanted to. His identity was quite special. If he wanted to hide his whereabouts, he had to make plans before he came to Yong'an City. Now he came to Yong'an City.

The incident in Ancheng has probably spread to the ears of some interested people.

The area around Yang Jianyong's house is still as friendly as usual. When Yi Wen came here, he had no idea that it was the residence of the Minister of Justice. Vendors could be seen everywhere, and if it had been an adult from another family, they would have been driven away long ago.

.Yi Wen looked at the happy scene around him and smiled and walked towards Yang Mansion.

When Yi Wen arrived at the door of Yang Mansion, someone came to greet him before he could walk in.

"Commander Yi, my lord has been waiting for you for a long time, please." The person who came to greet Yi Wen seemed to be Yang Jianyong's personal guard. Yi Wen hugged him and followed him.

When Yi Wen followed the guards to Master Yang's door, the guards were just about to knock on the door when Master Yang's voice came from the room: "Is it Commander Yi here? Please come in."

Yang Jianyong's voice sounded a little tired. It seemed that he had not had an easy time recently. The guards retreated after Yi Wen entered. Yi Wen was shocked when he saw Yang Jianyong. Yang Jianyong had lost a lot of weight in the past two years.
