Chapter 368 Knowing There Is a Tiger in the Mountain

After listening to their argument, Emperor Wen made a decision in his heart and said calmly: "Everyone else, please go out. I will talk to Yan Li alone."

Prime Minister Ji and General Xuan looked at each other and respectfully left.

The three princes also had different expressions and turned to leave in silence.

Mu Cang shook Yan Li's hand, stood up and left without saying anything.

Emperor Wen immediately dismissed all the palace people present until he and Yan Li were the only ones left in the Qinzheng Hall, and then he calmly said: "Li'er, don't you think this matter is strange?"

This is not the first time he has said the word "strange", but the meaning is different every time he says it.

Yan Li frowned: "The emperor means..."

"I suspect that this is Dugu Qingyun's conspiracy." Emperor Wen held the tea cup and only then showed the majesty and depth of an emperor. "As for his intention, I am not completely sure yet, but I already have a guess in my heart. "

Yan Li looked at him deeply, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

"What?" Emperor Wen was puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I think the emperor has been wronged by letting the queen serve as regent and supervise the country all these years." Yan Li smiled lightly, "The emperor doesn't seem to be duller than the queen."

The corners of Emperor Wen's mouth were slightly raised, feeling happy because of her praise: "Do you really think so?"

"Of course." Yan Li nodded, "I never like flattery. Praise must come from the heart. It is the truest thought in my heart."

Emperor Wen was obviously much happy, and his sullen face just now also relaxed: "So what do you think about this matter?"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Yan Li's voice was a bit colder. "Even if I guess that this may be a conspiracy against me, I have no reason to back down."

Emperor Wen sneered: "Even if the Prince of Yan Kingdom has no brains, don't the envoys around him also have no brains? Don't his guards know that Red Medicine Valley is a dangerous place? Since they can agree to let their master pass through a dangerous place, How could the danger not be detected in advance?”

If there are all such idiots around the prince of a country, I am afraid that the Emperor Yan of the country will not be able to kill people every day. If he can go with the prince on envoys to other countries, which envoy is not an old fox from their own country? Which escort is not carefully selected?

"So it is very abnormal for Prince Dugu to come from Red Yao Valley."

Yan Li nodded: "Yes."

"If the other party knows his identity and doesn't dare to kill him, then they should know that the two princesses are equally noble and have important responsibilities - even if they are princesses conferred by the official family's daughter, they are here on behalf of the royal family. The thieves dared to kidnap them, which was a provocation to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. Even if they spared Dugu Qingyun's life, no emperor could tolerate such a thing. The Jin Kingdom must cooperate with them to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. "

Yan Li was silent for a moment: "So the emperor thinks this is a deliberate conspiracy, and the purpose is to target me?"

"Otherwise, who are you targeting?" Emperor Wen smiled, but his smile was cold and frightening. "They have clearly calculated that you will not be indifferent to the disappearance of the two princesses, and the possibility of finding out the truth personally is very high."

"They were wrong about this." Yan Li smiled lightly, "Although I have been speaking out for the women of Jin recently, Princess Yan is not among them. I don't care about their life or death. The reason why I want to check I want to find out the truth because this matter is not easy to investigate, but it has to be investigated because it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I don’t want officials from North Korea and China to lose their lives innocently, so I decided to go there in person.”

"Anyway, the results were just as they expected."

Yan Li hummed: "Indeed."

"So here's the question." Emperor Wen tapped his fingers on the desk, his tone full of deep thought, "Dugu Qingyun has only been in Jin for a few days? How much does he know about you? How can I be sure that you will not just sit idly by and go there in person? Find out the truth?"

"Because someone in the court communicates with him." Yan Li raised her lips, "It would be great if I decided to go, but if I didn't have this idea, this person would probably find a way to get me to go voluntarily. In short, what I want is such a result, so why don't I Just as he wished."

After saying this, Yan Li stood up and said, "I know this well, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be fully prepared."

Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains.

She had said early on that she had never come to Jin to enjoy the success, or to enjoy the stars and the moon.

Demons and demons can come over as they please, what she wants is a chance.

An opportunity for the demons and monsters to show their true colors.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." Yan Li said calmly, "From now on, I am solely responsible for this matter, and no one else has to interfere."

"Yan Li." Emperor Wen looked at her steadily and suddenly smiled, "How can I be so virtuous as to have such an outstanding daughter like you?"

Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly: "God arranged this for you."

"It is indeed God's arrangement." Emperor Wen sincerely thanked God, "Can you call me Father?"

Yan Li frowned slightly: "Don't you think it's inappropriate to make such a request at this opportunity?"

It seemed as if she couldn't come back after screaming.

Emperor Wen laughed and said a little apologetically: "It's my fault. It won't be too late to shout after you have triumphed."

"Okay." Yan Li nodded, "I'll go back and prepare first."

Emperor Wen asked: "Do you need me to prepare some more troops and horses for you?"

"No need." Yan Li turned around and walked out, "The soldiers are better but not too numerous. I don't need a huge team to attract attention."

Saying these words, she had already walked out of Qinzheng Hall.

Mu Canghou was outside the palace.

The other three princes stood far away. When they saw Yan Li coming out, they came over to say something.

Yan Li raised his hand to stop them from talking: "No need to say anything. I don't need your help."

Yan Chen's expression froze: "..."

Yan Jin pursed his lips and remained silent: "..."

Yan Yun looked surprised: "..."

The three looked at Yan Li without saying a word, but Yan Li took Mu Cang's hand and left calmly.

"Don't you think Yan Li is becoming more and more arrogant?" Yan Yun frowned, staring at the backs of Yan Li and Mu Cang with a gloomy look, "Although Fenglu is not a remote place, she has never been there, and it is impossible for her to know how dangerous the situation in Fenglu is now. She is so confident, do you really think she is going there to make a contribution?"

"It is because she knows nothing that she is fearless." Yan Chen sneered, "If she really knew how dangerous it was, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare to go even if I asked her to go."

"Don't say that." Yan Jin frowned, worry on his face, "She is our sister after all, and there are some grudges on weekdays. How can you be so sarcastic about such a matter of life and death?"

"Only you are kind, and we are all evil." Yan Chen Turning to look at him, with a sneer on her face, "It's a pity that she doesn't care about your kindness at all."

Yan Jin lowered his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were stained with a bit of worry: "Yan Li is still young, and she has suffered so many grievances in Mu State. How can we, as brothers, care so much about her?"

"Suffered so many years of grievances?" Yan Chen disagreed, "Isn't she also a princess in Mu State? What grievances can she suffer? In my opinion, she is obviously not satisfied with the princess status of Mu State who cannot hold military power, so she chose to return to Jin State. After all, Jin State has her mother to support her."

Yan Jin heard the hatred in his tone, and frowned more and more: "Second brother, our mother has been kind to us, you shouldn't bear any resentment against her."

Yan Chen was too lazy to listen to his saintly preaching, turned around and left.
