Empress Lin Ance

Chapter 73 72. His liking is obvious?
**
Now the grassland's letter of understanding has been sent to Chang'an, and the crisis between the two countries has been resolved.

Pei Shangshu was also suspended and confined in the mansion.

All that remains is to find the evidence that he intentionally modified and falsely passed on the imperial edict.

Linxian Tower.

Song Luan invited Shen Yu and Chu Qingyan to come here, Shen Yu arrived first, but Chu Qingyan did not arrive.

"Inspector of Beizhou, Shang Huan has entered Beijing."

The two had a discussion, and Song Luan mentioned this matter to him. As the young minister of Dali Temple, Pei Shangshu had a special status, so the case was naturally handed over to Dali Temple.

Shen Yu nodded, with a little relief between his brows, "I heard about it just at noon today."

"This Shang Huan has no friendship with Pei Huaizhi. As long as he presents the military order sent to the border, it will be the physical evidence of the chaos on the border."

Song Luan felt that it was not that simple, "Even if the edict was indeed tampered with, Pei Shangshu didn't bite him to death, and we don't have any other evidence, so who can prove it?"

Moreover, the edict has gone through the hands of so many people from writing to issuing, even the crown prince is not completely without suspicion. It is really too difficult to find evidence of tampering.

Now, Pei Shangshu is just a breakthrough.

Pei Shangshu is now only grounded and temporarily suspended from his post. In the end, this matter will probably just go unnoticed.

"But this edict has indeed been tampered with. At least it can prove that there are people in the court who are ambitious?" Shen Yu objected.

"Not necessarily." The door was pushed open, and Chu Qingyan stepped in with a heavy face.

When the two heard the movement, they got up one after another, and Shen Yu even asked suspiciously: "I don't know what you mean?"

Chu Qingyan didn't speak, and the three of them stood facing each other, but Song Luan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with that edict?"

She sighed, her face was not very good-looking, and after pulling out the seat, she sat down next to the head of the two.

"The edict brought by Shang Huan has not been tampered with."

That edict was originally the military training edict issued by the prince, but the military training did not report to the Grassland Khan. The explanation given by Shang Huan was: the person who reported the report died suddenly on the way, and the letter failed to reach the grassland.

Shang Huan was caught off guard for a while, and asked the Emperor Chu for punishment.

"This is simply ridiculous. With such a big commotion, the grassland people almost sent troops. He actually said that the edict has not been tampered with?!"

Song Luan got up and pressed Shen Yu, "Sit down first, and listen to what the princess has to say."

Shen Yu looked resentful, and upon hearing this, he could only sit down reluctantly and continue to listen to the news that Chu Qingyan brought out from the palace.

"Because the matter was handled properly, it didn't cause a catastrophe. He made great contributions in defending the border, and the prince pleaded for mercy. Shang Huan was only fined for three years."

Chu Qingyan also couldn't figure it out. If the person sent out died suddenly and didn't reply because of the lack of news, didn't Shang Huan send someone to investigate?
And the chaos on the border, the panic of the people and even seeking asylum away from their homeland, were all witnessed by her.

"This has happened." Song Luan frowned, looking deeply at Chu Qingyan, "If this is true, I believe it won't be long before Pei Shangshu wants the official to return to his post."

Chu Qingyan couldn't do anything about it, but what made her feel strange was, "I checked here, and Pei Huaizhi and Shang Huan didn't have any personal contact."

One has been in the border all year round, and the other has hardly been out of Chang'an. The chances of Shang Huan exonerating him are basically zero.

Shen Yu hurriedly slapped down the table. A villain like Pei Huaizhi dared to murder Chu Qingyan when he was hunting in the western suburbs, but he was as clever as a fox and as cunning as a fox. If he couldn't be taken down this time, I don't know how many troubles would arise.

"One more thing." Chu Qingyan turned her head and looked at Song Luan with a complicated expression.

Song Luan understood, his expression slightly nervous, "But it has something to do with Pei Hua?"

She nodded, and finally decided to tell everything she found.

"Pei Huai and Qin Grassland should be Pei Huaizhi's plan. I don't know what to do, but there is one thing...he wants me to leave Chang'an."

"When I was in the royal court, some people knew that Princess Lin'an had entered the grassland, but they didn't realize my identity... Therefore, the people who informed the grassland only knew that I went to the grassland, but they didn't know what identity I used."

A few people who knew that she was in the grassland——

Both Shen Yu and Song Luan knew that she was currently under the tent of Huyan Xingchi, disguised as a man as a military adviser.

Shangguanyu has nothing to do with grassland people, so she can trust her.

In the end, it was her father, who had no reason to harm her.

Then the only person left who might have guessed where she was going was the one who personally planned all this and let her leave Chang'an for the grassland.

"Only Pei Huaizhi!"

Shen Yu stood up angrily, even breathing heavily. He couldn't believe that Pei Huaizhi dared to reveal the news about the princess to the prairie people.

"Unexpectedly...he could even use his own daughter." Song Luan's eyes were dark, and there was no great joy or anger on his face.

But Shen Yu, who was familiar with him, could tell at a glance that Song Luan was really angry and furious.

Song Luan collected himself, then turned to look at Chu Qingyan, "Pei Hua, does she know about this?"

"I didn't tell her it had nothing to do with her."

After hearing Chu Qingyan's answer, Song Luan's eyes were dimmed, and he nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, she wholeheartedly wants to marry you, but it wasn't the beginning of all this, it was her father's conspiracy."

"If she knows all this, she doesn't know how to face you... Thanks to you, you can still think about her."

Pei Hua is now in the grassland, and the only person she can rely on is Chu Qingyan.

"No, do you want to go back to the grassland?!" Shen Yu frowned, and looked at Chu Qingyan puzzled, "You just came back when the border was in turmoil. If Pei Huaizhi really colluded with the grassland, you may reveal your identity when you go back now!"

How could Chu Qingyan not know how dangerous it was to go back now.

But leaving Pei Hua alone,

Moreover, the matter has developed to the present, and it is no longer a matter of one person getting married, but has already related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

She needs to go back and find the person who colluded with Pei Huaizhi and the evidence.

"My current identity is not that dangerous. Even if my identity is exposed, there is no danger of my life... But you, you have to keep my identity a secret."

Chu Qingyan stood up, patted Shen Yu's shoulder with a smile, and her expression became a little more relaxed.

"I go first."

"Farewell to the princess." Song Luan got up to see her off.

As for Shen Yu, his shoulder was touched by her, and his expression showed a bit of surprise. He didn't recover for a while, until Chu Qingyan walked out of the door, and he touched his shoulder as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Shen Yu, you like princesses."

Shen Yu was shocked, the powerful general on the battlefield actually blushed at this moment, "Yes, is it that obvious??"

Song Luan shook his head helplessly, "Ask the people around you, who doesn't know? Just don't be too obvious."

Shen Yu was speechless.

His liking, is it really obvious?
