All matters have been finalized, and the business has been discussed. The next meeting and alliance banquet in order to connect the feelings of the two sides was not as tense as before.

Although Shen Wuye and Qi Yan knew each other well, they still had to work on the scene.

Everyone pushed the cups and exchanged the cups, staggered. For a while, it was full of joy, and the smoke of the previous gunpowder was completely absent, and the cold eyes were opposite.

With a wine cup in hand, Du Shi sat in front of the desk, with a worried expression on his face, always absent-minded.

Since he saw Qi's crown princess appear on the high platform on time from a distance, he knew that the crown princess's plan had failed.

It's just that she hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid the situation is not good.

Du Shi was hesitant about whether he should go forward to report to His Royal Highness the Prince immediately, or wait for the end of the banquet of the alliance, then tell the Prince about the Crown Princess when there is no one around.

However, he has not waited for him to make a decision.

Qi Yan remembered that the person who was caught by the guards, looked at Shen Wuye and said lightly,

"Just now, my guards caught a sneaky woman, she claimed to be the prince concubine of Yue Kingdom, I'm afraid she is He made meticulous work, so he ordered someone to detain her first. Now, everything has been completed, so I can ask His Royal Highness to admit it."

Qi Yan turned his head and gestured to his personal guard, and Xie Qingluan was brought up.

Dressed as a guard, her hair that was hastily tied up became a little messy when she struggled, and kept thinking about how to escape while she was being held. Now Xie Qingluan's whole person can be said to be very embarrassed, and her prestige has been wiped away.

"Wuye, I." 

Xie Qingluan saw Shen Wuye, her face was overjoyed. But thinking of her own situation, she didn't know how to speak.

But fortunately, my uneasy heart finally calmed down. She was suddenly taken away by the guards of Qi State and very worried that they would be bad for her along the way.

Shen Wuye looked at the person who was brought up by the Qi State guards and recognized it at a glance.

However, at this time, it is not to worry about why his wife, who should have stayed in the tent, suddenly appeared here.

Emperor Qi's words have been clearly expressed. If he does not recognize it, this is a meticulous work; if he confirms that this is his Crown Princess, Yue Kingdom must give an account of the Crown Princess' trespassing.

There are many barriers in the high tent, and the guards are closely guarded. How did the prince concubine of Yue Kingdom come in?

Shen Wuye knew that maybe the people on his side made a mistake in private, so he had to apologize,

"Your Majesty Qi, forgive me, this person is indeed the Crown Princess. As for the reason, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." 

The dark cloak moved slightly, and Peipei, who had been sleeping in Qi Yan's arms, slowly woke up at this time.

She raised her little hand, rubbed her eyes, turned her head and saw Xie Qingluan's appearance at this time, a little dazed.

Xie Qingluan also happened to see the little doll who had just woken up. Thinking that it was because of this little girl that she was in such a messed up situation, she couldn't help frowning and was angry.

This child is really unlovable.

Qi Yan noticed the look in her eyes when she looked at the little guy in his arms, his eyes turned cold. He slowly said,

"It happens that everyone is here. It's better for His Royal Highness to conclude the case now and see which one of his incompetent men made a mistake." 

Shen Wuye and the ministers of Yue Kingdom behind him knew the Qi emperor did not intend to give them any more face.

Now it is revealed in front of everyone. Why did the prince concubine of Yue Kingdom, whose name is not on the list of alliances, suddenly appear here. In light of this, Yue Guo neglected to investigate and the imperial subordinates were not serious; Waiting for an opportunity to stab.

Either way, Yue Guo will be disgraced.

At this moment, there was silence in the high tent. The civil servants and military generals of Yue State and Qi State also returned to their seats, facing each other faintly. It seems that the lively scene of calling brothers and sisters just now is just an illusion, the atmosphere is very dignified and tense.

Shen Wuye was expressionless, looked up at Xie Qingluan in front of him, then turned to look at Zuo Qian and others under the high platform. Emotions in the eyes are dark, and the eyes are heavy.

"His Royal Highness, everything is the responsibility of Wei Chen." 

Finally, Du Shi couldn't help the pressure to come forward and ask for the sin.

"It was the minister who neglected his duty and privately let the crown princess go into the tent. The crown princess didn't know the rules that one must follow the list to enter, the minister was also negligent and forgot to inform him. In short, all the mistakes are the fault of one minister. "

Du Shi took off his official hat, kowtowed and fell to the ground.

He understands that only by resisting all the guilt himself today is what suits His Royal Highness the most. But if the Crown Princess is implicated, even if she is lucky now, after returning to the imperial city, she will inevitably be punished severely.

Shen Wuye glanced sharply at Du Shi, who was kneeling below, and his stern profile showed no emotion.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Yun Hao made Du Shi oversight, and he will be slapped at thirty, and will be dismissed from office immediately."

He turned his head and looked at Xie Qingluan in front of him and said,

"Although the Crown Princess was unintentional, she still trespassed. What 's wrong. She'll be banned for one month, and Jing Si has passed."

"But"

Seeing that Xie Qingluan was about to say something, Shen Wuye interrupted her.

He softened his tone and said softly, "Qingluan, this time you disturbed His Majesty Emperor Qi and His Royal Highness, it's your fault."

Xie Qingluan lowered her head, although he was not angry, she didn't want to trouble Shen Wuye any more, it was the overall situation. important.

Turning around, she bowed down and apologized to Emperor Qi, who was sitting in the upper position and the princess in his arms.

Qi Yan didn't raise his eyes, but only revealed sarcasm, and said slowly,

"His Royal Highness is so fair, since that's the case, I can't pursue any further."

So far, except for Du Shi's heavy punishment, Even that's the end of it.

However, whether the rest of Shen Wuye's subordinates felt sad, then it didn't matter to Qi Yan.

After this incident, the alliance will also come to an end.

Qi Yan strode out holding the little child in his arms. A group of generals and officials of Qi also followed and left in an orderly manner.

Zaizai lay on Qi Yan's shoulder, blinked and looked back.

In the distance, the whispered quarrel between men and women was faintly heard by the wind.

Shen Wuye was annoyed, turned his head and ignored Xie Qingluan who was standing aside;

Xie Qingluan felt aggrieved, thinking that everything she took on an adventure was for the people in front of her, but he was not understood. So didn't explain too much, I held my breath and looked cold.

The three lovers who used to be in love stood opposite each other, just a short distance away, but it seemed like they were separated by thousands of miles.

"Is it cold?" 

The indifferent voice revealed unconcealed concern.

The cub retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at Qi Yan, smiled and the little milk said, "It's not cold, it's warm."

Then she hugged Qi Yan tightly, leaning against his arms with peace of mind.

This is her yeah yeah.

very nice.

After the alliance was over, Qi Yan left the Canglan River with peipei and returned to the state of Qi.

Yue Lin and others had already received the news and came to greet them.

"Have you found it?" Qi Yan asked in the first sentence.

"Already in the cell." 

Yue Lin knew what Qi Yan was asking, and also understood that the first thing Qi Yan had to do when he came back was to deal with this matter.

They colluded inside and out, kidnapped Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess under their noses. Without His Majesty asking for guilt, they were almost ashamed of themselves.

If it weren't for the peace and quiet of His Highness this time, Yue Lin felt remorse in his heart.

"Who is it?" 

Qi Yan said coldly. There was already endless killing intent in his tone.

Yue Lin said slowly, "Gong Sige."

Qi Yan lowered his eyes, he knew this person.

After he led his troops into the palace that year, Gong Sige was the first former minister of the previous dynasty to bow his head to him.

Not only that, without his orders, Gong Sige himself took the initiative to go to the mansion of a group of stubborn old officials to actively lobby them to support him as emperor.

He was able to justify and quickly ascend to the throne in a short period of time. In addition to killing a group of people and expelling a group of people at that time, this person is also a big contributor.

Qi Yan has always followed the principle of "do not use suspicious people, do not use people with suspicion".

After he was proclaimed emperor, he has always reused his people and accepted them as confidants.

Gong Sige did not live up to his trust. Together with Duan Xing, he quickly established a huge espionage organization in various countries. Over the years, he has made countless contributions to Qi.

Yue Lin looked complicated.

Gong Sige has been working with him all the time. Over the years, he considered himself to know him well. It can be said that he is a staunch supporter of His Majesty.

Even if there is a voice that is unfavorable to His Majesty, Gong Sige will quickly lead the army to arrest and imprison him.

To say there is something wrong with this person

would be too paranoid.

Once, in the teahouse, a group of scholars were talking about the government's decrees. One of them had a different opinion, and his words did not intend to offend His Majesty.

After His Majesty learned of this, he was demoted and suspended. He ordered him to reflect at home for half a year. After that, Gong Sige restrained himself, acted more cautiously, and did not dare to make mistakes impulsively.

It should be said that when Yue Lin and Ye Xiao found out it was him. Really can't believe it.

No one in the court and the opposition would doubt Gong Sige's loyalty to His Majesty.

But after the incident with the little highness this time, Yue Lincai couldn't help sighing, he thought he knew him, but it seemed that he never really knew this person.

Yue Lin hesitated for a moment, then continued,

"Your Majesty, Gong Sige has admitted that he leaked the whereabouts of His Highness. But" Yue Lin couldn't help but look puzzled, "but he refuses to confess."

Now that he has confessed Crime, why not plead guilty. This made Yue Lin have mixed feelings in his heart.

"Also, Gong Sige wants to see His Majesty again."

Qi Yan was silent.

The prison doors were opened, and the dazzling sunlight came in. Gong Sige couldn't help raising his hand and squinting.

It took a long time to see who was coming.

"Gong Sige." A male voice came.

Gong Sige laughed sarcastically. "Master Yue, you've come to see me again. I don't need to say more, I won't admit my guilt." He asked softly, "Has Your Majesty returned?"

Gradually, he didn't know how long it was today.
