The best ring

Whether it was what Wu Ya said or what Li Ziyang said just now, the information was the same, that is, the royal family of Nanping is now under house arrest by the people of Shuiyue. There should be no doubt about this.

Wu Ya was unable to complete the task assigned by Shuiyue to kill the old emperor of Yanfeng. Under such circumstances, the people of Shuiyue had no reason to release the royal family of Nanping. How come the fourth prince of Nanping suddenly ascended the throne?

"I don't know about this." Li Ziyang said: "Since the assassination of His Majesty, the court has paid more attention to Nanping and carefully investigated the situation there. Only then did they know the reason why the third princess assassinated him. However, the reason why the people of Shuiyue let the fourth prince of Nanping ascend the throne is unclear."

Wu Fan frowned slightly, always feeling that this matter was not that simple. If it were him, under such circumstances, there would be no reason to let the royal family of Nanping go.

"Oh, there is another piece of news." Li Ziyang suddenly said: "In Nanping, except for the fourth prince Wu Xian who survived and successfully ascended the throne, all other royal family members, including the emperor of Nanping, are dead."

"What? All dead!" Wu Fan was completely shocked by the news, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, all dead." Li Ziyang nodded and affirmed: "Moreover, after the fourth prince ascended the throne, his attitude was obviously biased towards Shuiyue Kingdom, so many ministers in the court speculated that the fourth prince should have surrendered to Shuiyue Kingdom, so he was able to survive and even become the emperor. As for the time when he surrendered to Shuiyue Kingdom, it is not clear when it was."

Wu Fan frowned deeply. He obviously had not thought of this situation before. He knew that Wu Ya had been missing her relatives all this time. If she knew that her relatives were dead, she didn't know how she would react.

"Are all these news true?" Wu Fan asked.

"It shouldn't be false." Li Ziyang said: "Originally, after the assassination, His Majesty should have prepared to retaliate against Nanping, so he conducted preliminary investigations on Nanping. After learning this news, the revenge action was temporarily stopped."

If Nanping really surrendered to Shuiyue, then it would not be easy for Yanfeng to retaliate against Nanping. At least it should not be done impulsively and blindly, otherwise it would be easy to be attacked by the joint attack of Nanping and Shuiyue. Nanping is still okay, but Shuiyue is not weaker than Yanfeng at all. If a fight really breaks out, Yanfeng may not be able to gain an advantage.

"Since it is known that the third princess of Nanping had a reason for the assassination, will His Majesty give up the search for her?" Wu Fan asked.

In the entire Nanping, Wu Fan is only familiar with Wu Ya. Because of the mission, he has to ensure Wu Ya's safety. As for other people, he doesn't really care.

However, after hearing what Wu Fan said, Li Ziyang looked at Wu Fan with strange eyes and said, "Sir Wu, the third princess attempted to assassinate His Majesty, and almost succeeded. This is a serious crime that will implicate the entire clan and is punishable by death! No matter what her reason is, she did it, and it is a capital crime. How could they give up searching for her?"

Okay, it seems that I thought too much.

Come to think of it, Nanping Kingdom is obviously leaning towards Shuiyue Kingdom now. Wu Ya is the princess of Nanping Kingdom. There is no reason to let her go. What's more, she committed the capital crime of assassinating the emperor. The old emperor will not care what her reason is, and will never forgive her.

"I thought wrongly. She assassinated His Majesty and she deserves to die." Wu Fan agreed.

"Yes, she deserves to die, but now the whole city has been searched for so many days, and she has not been found. I don't know where she is hiding." Li Ziyang said.

"Maybe she has left the city." Wu Fan said.

"Probably not." Li Ziyang said, "Since His Majesty was stabbed, the four city gates have been heavily guarded, and they have never relaxed until now. She can't escape."

"How long does His Majesty plan to maintain this state?" Wu Fan asked.

"I don't know about that." Li Ziyang said, "No one can see His Majesty now, but I guess unless we can find the third princess of Nanping or confirm that she has escaped from Yanyang City, otherwise, this search should not stop."

Well, it seems that if we want to send Wu Ya away, we can only wait for Zhao Qi to leave the city to fulfill her wish. However, Wu Fan is now waiting for the old emperor to summon him again, and he can't leave for the time being, so there is no problem in waiting.

The banquet continued, and the atmosphere at the table never faded. The protagonist at the table was Wu Fan, who had the lowest position. Li Ziyang and several other officials obviously deliberately made friends with Wu Fan, so from beginning to end, Wu Fan was never ignored.

"Master Wu, forgive my ignorance, how should this refreshing tea be brewed?" After the banquet, Li Ziyang, who was slightly drunk, asked in confusion while holding the refreshing tea brought by Wu Fan.

In this era, there were no beverages. People drank well water, wine and tea the most. So, when Wu Fan said it was called refreshing tea, the people present instinctively thought that this tea was the tea they usually drank, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

"This refreshing tea does not need to be brewed, it can be drunk directly." Wu Fan opened a bottle, raised his head and took a sip: "Just like drinking well water."

Li Ziyang and others frowned slightly. In their opinion, drinking well water directly is a very humiliating thing. They usually make tea to drink whether they are entertaining guests or thirsty. Now Wu Fan's refreshing tea is like drinking well water, which is really hard for them to accept.

However, Wu Fan's face still needs to be given. Even if he is unwilling in his heart, he still has to drink a sip or two to show his appreciation.

Li Ziyang took the lead in drinking a sip. He was even prepared for the difficulty of swallowing before drinking. As a result, this refreshing tea just entered his mouth, and it actually felt sweet and delicious. There was a fragrance flowing between his lips and teeth, which was not as cold and bland as well water.

After entering his throat, Li Ziyang was shocked. The mental fatigue caused by drinking and last night's fatigue was relieved immediately. This feeling was quite strong, so strong that he was stunned without any psychological preparation.

"Master Li, what's wrong with you?" The official next to him saw this and couldn't help asking.

Wu Fan was a little worried when he saw Li Ziyang's reaction.

Could it be that people in this time and space are not used to drinking beverages? However, this is not a carbonated beverage. It is just sweeter than well water. It should not be difficult for people to drink it.
