Chapter 269
Zhong Ning originally planned to tell Shen Li and Si Yan about her relationship with Gu Sheng the next day.

This morning, when everyone was eating breakfast, Zhong Ning looked at the others and felt a little uneasy. Just when she was hesitating to speak, a person suddenly broke into the door.

Guan Fu ran in in a panic, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he entered the room.

Si Yan frowned and said.

"What are you panicking about?"

Guan Fu drove the horse all the way here, not daring to breathe, and after entering the house, he calmed down and spoke.

"General, it's Your Majesty, the imperial decree has come, and I'm in the western suburbs barracks right now."

As soon as these words came out, not only Si Yan, but even Shen Li and Zhong Ning were shocked.

imperial decree?How could a good sage make a decree.

You must know that imperial edicts are not issued casually, and are usually issued only when there are major rewards or punishments.

Si Yan hasn't made any military achievements recently, so what will the imperial decree be?

Thinking of this, Shen Li couldn't help feeling a little worried, she put her hand on the back of Si Yan's hand, her tone worried.

"Husband, what's the matter?"

Si Yan's face was also solemn, but he was still relieved.

"It's okay, wait for me to go back and have a look."

Shen Li said immediately.

"I am with you."

Zhong Ning was stunned for a while before speaking.

"I... I'm with you too."

The group soon arrived at the camp in the western suburbs. The eunuch who read out the imperial decree was the eunuch next to the emperor. Behind him stood a team of imperial guards, all of whom were top martial arts masters in the palace.

Si Yan looked over from afar and realized that something was wrong, so he turned around and told Guan Fu.

"Take them to the camp first."

Shen Li didn't know about Si Yan's arrangement, but felt that the carriage had changed its direction, and when she opened the curtain, Si Yan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Li immediately stopped.

"Guan Fu, where are we going?"

Guan Fu would not lie, and he also knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Li, so he had to tell the truth.

"The general ordered me to take you to the camp first, and he will come after receiving the imperial edict."

Shen Li felt uneasy, but she didn't understand the affairs of the court, and she didn't know what Si Yan was thinking, so she had to listen to Si Yan's words and go back and wait.

Shen Li waited anxiously in the tent, not knowing what was going on outside, Zhong Ning comforted her when seeing this.

"It's okay, we'll know what's going on when General Si comes back in a while."

However, the two waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for Si Yan to come back at all.

Not long after, Guan Fu walked in with a flustered expression, hesitating.

"Ma'am, General... He was taken away by the Royal Forest Army."

Shen Li's heart, which was already in her throat, was about to explode almost instantly.

"What? Why?"

Guan Fu looked equally nervous.

"The imperial decree says that someone has reported that the general has had close contacts with Xiliang and Dongyuan Kingdom, has connections with the rebel party, and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. He will be brought back to Dali Temple for interrogation."

TECO and Xiliang?Isn't it just a recent incident, Shen Li wondered.

"Who made the report, this is simply a non-existent thing."

Guan Fu's expression was complicated, he seemed to be jealous of that person, but he hesitated for a while before speaking out.

"It is said that...the person who reported it was Su Dutong."

Shen Li was surprised when she heard the name.

"Su Jing, isn't she one of Si Yan's subordinates? What's going on?"

Guan Fu just remembered that Shen Li didn't know about Su Jing yet, so he said simply.

"It was she who deliberately transferred Captain Guo to put you in danger. General Si drove Su Jing out of the barracks after finding out."
