After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 71 To Investigate the Dark Night Alliance
Because the divine doctor Bi was not invited back, the first emperor eventually passed away.

The former emperor did not establish a crown prince, and the ministers quarreled endlessly over who would be the next emperor, and almost went to war and fought each other.In the end, the decree was found, and the decree said that it was passed down to the current emperor, and the matter was calmed down.

……

Although Qu Chu was a great general, she had never heard of these things, so she couldn't help but look sideways at Ning Youbei.

Ning Youbei smiled bitterly and said:

"It's normal that you haven't heard of these things. When the emperor came to power, he was opposed by many people. They said that the will was false. Later, Prime Minister Ye personally verified the will and proved that the will was indeed written by the late emperor himself. That settled the dispute."

Seeing that Qu Chu still didn't quite understand, Ning Youbei continued:

"Prime Minister Ye is not the emperor's brother, he and Duke Zhen are the most staunch supporters of King Jing.

Duke Zhen supported King Jing because King Jing was his nephew, while Prime Minister Ye supported King Jing because King Jing was 'orthodox'. "

Thinking of the news about King Jing that Su Yingxue investigated for her, King Jing managed such a barren place like Jingcheng into a land of prosperity, Qu Chu thought: Prime Minister Ye may support King Jing not only because he was born of the former empress, but more It is because he is optimistic about King Jing and thinks that King Jing is the best emperor.

But Qu Chu only thought about it in his heart, and didn't say it out of his mouth.

But Qu Chu's silence misunderstood Ning Youbei.

"Although I was only 16 years old back then, I didn't hide everything planned by the emperor. The emperor's sudden coma was not caused by the emperor's hand, and the death of Ye Yu'an's father was not caused by the emperor's brother. Otherwise, how could Yu'an have dealt with me?" For so many years?"

Qu Chu keenly grasped the unspoken meaning in Ning Youbei's words.

Ning Youbei didn't say whether the emperor had tampered with the will?

However, since Prime Minister Ye personally verified the will and proved that the will was indeed written by the late emperor himself, it means that the will is not fake.However, is it possible that this will was not what the late emperor wanted?Or are there other wills?
Although Qu Chu made several turns in her heart, she didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

The less royal secrets are known, the better!

"I didn't doubt Your Majesty, nor did I disbelieve you. These things have long passed, so it's unintentional to think about them. But, has Ye Yu'an found out who killed his father?"

Qu Chu changed the subject in a timely manner.

Ning Youbei's thoughts were also brought over by Qu Chu.

"I asked Yu'an later. He suspected that those masked men in black were members of the Night Alliance, but there was no evidence. As for who was behind the instigation, he had no idea."

Qu Chu thought to himself:

The Ye family is a staunch supporter of King Jing, and he has no reason to attack the Ye family.If the person who started the attack was really a member of the Dark Night League, then King Jing could not be the leader of the Dark Night League.

If it proves that King Jing is the leader of the Dark Night League, then the person who did it in the first place was not a member of the Dark Night League.

It's a pity that Ye Yu'an was not sure whether it was the people from the Dark Night Alliance who did it, so there was still no answer to what he wanted to know.

Thinking of this, Qu Chu said:
"The people who were assassinated when we were sent to the west were also likely to be members of the Night Alliance. There are many things involving them. We still have to find ways to reveal the truth about the Night Alliance."

"Yes," Ning Youbei nodded, "I've been investigating this Dark Night League for a long time. But for so many years, I don't know where the Dark Night League's lair is, and they don't know who they are, and they have no clue at all."

This is true!
Mantuo Villa has always been well-informed, but Yingxue has not found out about the Dark Night Alliance so far.

"We will set off in three days, and go to the General's Mansion tomorrow."

……

General's House
According to the customs of Dayu State, the new daughter-in-law will return home tomorrow.But Qu Chu asked someone to send a letter, saying that she would return today.

Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu were not worried about Qu Chu being wronged, they were just afraid that something would happen again seeing her come back in such a hurry.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, they saw Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu waiting there.

Qu Chu first got out of the carriage and walked towards the two, ignoring Ning Youbei who was still on the carriage.

"Why are you waiting here?"

Su Yingxue rolled her eyes, "You think I'm willing? Bingyu didn't drag me out. I've been standing here for a while, like a fool."

Qu Bingyu only smiled and did not refute.

Qu Chu pulled one with each hand, "Come on, let's go in."

Ning Youbei who was left behind...

Su Yingxue looked sideways at Qu Chu, "Why are you back today?"

"Your Majesty told us yesterday that he wants the King of Chu to go to the north to work in the army instead of him, and let me accompany him. We will leave the day after tomorrow."

in such a hurry?
Su Yingxue glanced at Qu Chu, she didn't quite believe the words, but she was going to ask again in private.

Qu Bingyu is much simpler.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You are still newly married, can't you be later?"

After finishing speaking, Qu Bingyu added: "It is said that the first month of marriage cannot be vacant."

Both Qu Chu and Su Yingxue automatically ignored this question.Su Yingxue also arranged for Qu Bingyu as a host: "Sister Bingyu, go prepare the food and drink, and the three of us will have a good drink later."

Qu Bingyu took a look at Qu Chu, and went obediently.

Su Yingxue glanced at Ning Youbei who was following behind, "Did you have a bridal chamber last night?"

Qu Chu didn't answer her.

Su Yingxue put her mouth next to Qu Chu's ear, "Prince Chu looks pretty good, anyway, you two are married, so it's useless to sleep."

"I see."

"I'm telling you the truth. Don't deal with it casually. Sleeping with him is justified. Are you going to be an old sister-in-law forever?"

Qu Chu glanced at Su Yingxue, "You know me, you are 2 years older than me, why didn't you see who you slept with?"

"Isn't it true that I haven't met someone I can admire? I finally fell in love with you before, who knew you were a woman. If you were a man, I would have forced you to sleep a few years ago!"

"Okay, I see."

Seeing that Qu Chu answered "Understood" again, Su Yingxue stopped talking about this question.

"You left in such a hurry, don't tell me it's because of Lao Jun."

Qu Chu knew that he couldn't hide it from Su Yingxue, and that he still needed her help in the next matter, so he didn't intend to hide it from her.

"Lao Jun also has to work. The day after tomorrow we will set off with Lao Jun's large team. But then the King of Chu and I will leave the team and go secretly to the Jianghuai area."

"When you mentioned Jianghuai, I remembered something. The price of goods in the Jianghuai area has risen particularly sharply this year, and the price of medicinal materials has increased by more than [-]% on average. I heard from those medicinal material dealers that the price of food has risen even more."

The price has gone up so much?

"Isn't Jianghuai known as the land of fish and rice? Forty percent of Dayu Kingdom's food comes from Jianghuai. I have never heard of drought and floods this year. How could it be so much?"
