Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 164

Qiu Zhongshan was still in shock about what had just happened and was trembling in a dark corner.

A ray of light emerged.

"Master Qiu, please come out."

"Master Qiu, they have already left, please come out."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Chu Shengnan. My name is Bai Ruoshu."

"It's General Chu and Lord Bai." Hearing that the people coming were Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu, Qiu Zhongshan was extremely surprised and immediately came out of the bushes. After seeing the two, he was filled with mixed feelings and immediately realized that it was them who had just saved him.

"I would like to thank General Chu and Lord Bai for saving my life." As he said this, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.

"Mr. Qiu, please stand up quickly." Chu Shengnan said.

"Master Qiu, what did those two people say to you just now, and why did they want to kill you?"

"Alas." Qiu Zhongshan sighed and repeated what Dong Liu and Miao San said to him, "You two adults have to testify for me. I never agreed to do those treasonous things. That's why they want to kill me to silence me."

"This matter is of great importance and requires your majesty's judgment. They didn't succeed today, so they will inevitably have a trick up their sleeve. For the sake of Mr. Qiu's safety, please come with us and write down what happened today."

"I am not afraid to sacrifice my life for my country, but I will not be willing to die at the hands of a villain. I will go with you and will report this to your majesty."

"Okay, please pack up, Master Qiu, and come with us."

In the imperial palace in the capital, the emperor received a secret letter from Prince Chen. Thinking of what Chu Shengnan had secretly reported some time ago, he connected the two things together. After a little thought, he was shocked and immediately summoned Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu to the palace to discuss the matter.

"This is a secret letter from Prince Chen, take a look."

After reading the letter, both of them were thoughtful.

"I and Captain Bai also discovered something serious last night and were about to report it to Your Majesty."

"explain."

Chu Shengnan recounted in detail what had happened at Qiu Zhongshan's house last night and presented Qiu Zhongshan's handwritten letter.

After listening and reading, the emperor's face became gloomy. He paced back and forth and remained silent for a long time.

"What do you two think about this matter?"

Chu Shengnan and Bai Ruoshu looked at each other.

"Whether it was what happened in the capital or on the northwest battlefield, I feel that there is something fishy about it. And seeing that the time when these two events occurred was highly coincidental, I cannot help but suspect that there must be a significant connection between them," Chu Shengnan analyzed.

"The war on the front is at a stalemate, and strange things are happening frequently in the capital, which is indeed suspicious." Bai Ruoshu said.

"Do you think King Hao is really planning a rebellion?"

"I dare not speculate."

"I don't dare."

"Whether it is true or not, we must not take it lightly. If it is true, then this matter is of great importance. Not only must we destroy this conspiracy as quickly as possible, but we must also inform the emperor's uncle who is far away in the northwest, so that he will not be fooled by the Tuhun Kingdom. If it is false, we must find out who spread the rumor, so as not to disrupt the morale of the army and the people."

"Although the two people who assassinated Lord Qiu came from Prince Hao's palace and told Lord Qiu in person what Prince Hao was planning, it was only oral statements and there is no real evidence. No evidence of collusion between Prince Hao and the Tuhun Kingdom has been found, so they cannot be convicted for the time being." Chu Shengnan said.

"What Brother Hao is planning is not a trivial matter. He must have made some preparations. A few days ago, the Minister of War, Lord Yan, reported that the army of the Left Front Camp had been mobilized without reason. I have ordered him to find out the reason. I think there will be results soon."
