Chapter 4 Collaboration with the Enemy
Night fell slowly, and the entire land was shrouded in darkness. Even the magnificent palace seemed a little dim at the moment, which seemed to indicate that a shocking conspiracy was about to be staged here.
"Father, I have something very important to report to you." After arriving at the emperor's bedroom, Nangong Ye couldn't wait to say to the emperor. Although he also knew that it was not the right time, in order to make his conspiracy succeed, Nangong Ye couldn't wait to tell the emperor.
He had to do this.
"Ye'er, what do you mean by coming to see your father so late?" The emperor, who was about to go to bed, was suddenly disturbed by Nangong Ye. He felt very unhappy, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
"Father, if someone in the palace liaises with the enemy, should he be severely punished?" Nangong Ye did not answer the emperor's question, but asked this question first. He was making step-by-step plans to realize his conspiracy.
.
"Why does Ye'er have such doubts? It is a serious crime to liaise with the enemy's country, and of course it must be severely punished." A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes. He didn't know what Nangong Ye wanted to say, but if there was really someone in the palace,
If you liaise with an enemy country, he will not be lenient.
Nanling Kingdom and Beiyun Kingdom have been feuding for many years, and he will never allow people from his country to have any contact with people from Beiyun Kingdom, let alone people in the palace.
"Then if that person has an extraordinary status, will he be treated equally?" Nangong Ye was still worried, so he continued to ask, what he wanted was to be foolproof.
"Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. As long as he breaks the law, he should be punished, regardless of his status." Although the emperor did not know who Nangong Ye was talking about, he believed that no matter who he was, as long as he broke the law, he should be punished.
Pay the due price.
"I know that there is someone in the palace who is liaising with the enemy, and I ask my father to punish me." After hearing the emperor's words, Nangong Ye quickly flashed an imperceptible smile on his face. As long as the emperor said this, he would feel relieved.
.
"Who is the person Ye'er is talking about? Do you have any evidence?" Communicating with an enemy country is not a trivial matter, so the emperor became a little cautious, and he was a little more confused about the person Nangong Ye was talking about.
"The person you are talking about is none other than Nangong Yi, the younger brother of the Third Emperor." The reason why Nangong Ye didn't say Nangong Yi's name at first was because he was worried that the emperor would deliberately defend him, but now the emperor has revealed his secret
Those who collaborate with the enemy must be severely punished, no matter what the identity of that person is, so he can safely say Nangong Yi's name.
"What? You said that the person who had liaison with the enemy country turned out to be Yi'er? How is this possible?" The emperor's expression suddenly changed. In any case, he never thought that the person Nangong Ye was talking about was Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi has always been his favorite son, the most suitable candidate for the crown prince in his mind, and his already designated heir to the throne. How could he have an affair with an enemy country?
"Father, what I said is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no lie." The emperor's reaction was expected by Nangong Ye, but he would definitely try his best to make him believe it.
"You said that Yi'er had liaison with the enemy, is there any evidence?" The emperor never believed that Nangong Yi would do anything to liaise with the enemy, so he wanted to see if Nangong Ye had any evidence.
If he can't produce reasonable evidence, then all this is just his conspiracy; if he can produce evidence, that's another matter.
"Yes, I have a witness." After Nangong Ye finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yufei and signaled to her, because the witness he mentioned was her.
"Going back to my father, Fei'er has seen Prince Yi and Prince Yan Zimo of Beiyun Kingdom interacting privately many times. They have always had a good relationship and are very good friends and brothers." Ling Yufei had already discussed this with Nangong Ye before.
, so as soon as I saw the look in his eyes, I knew what to say.
"How do you know who the prince of Beiyun Kingdom is?" The emperor frowned slightly, and he was quickly analyzing the truth or falsehood of what Ling Yufei said. Even he didn't know who the prince of Beiyun Kingdom was. Ling Yufei
How could it be possible to know?
"Father, Fei'er also overheard it, but Yan Zimo is really the crown prince of Beiyun Kingdom." Ling Yufei didn't dare to say that she overheard it in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In that case, the Prime Minister's Mansion would also
was implicated, and as the prime minister's daughter, she would also be involved.
"Maybe Yi'er doesn't know that Yan Zimo is the prince of Beiyun Kingdom at all?" The emperor thinks this is completely possible. The so-called ignorance is not guilty. If Nangong Yi doesn't know that Yan Zimo is the prince of Beiyun Kingdom,
, then it would be excusable even if they communicated privately.
"How could the Third Emperor's brother not know? If he didn't know, he wouldn't have gone to Beiyun Kingdom." Nangong Ye had already seen that the emperor wanted to protect Nangong Yi, but he would not give him such a chance.
"You said Yi'er went to Beiyun Country? When did this happen?" This time the emperor could no longer remain calm. He also knew that Nangong Yi was not in the palace these days, but he thought he was going to find Ling Yuwei.
, never thought that he would go to Beiyun Country.
In fact, Nangong Yi went to Beiyun Kingdom just to find Ling Yuwei, but the emperor didn't know this.
"It has been several days. Father must not have thought of it, right?" In fact, Nangong Ye knew very well why Nangong Yi went to Beiyun Country, but he did not explain it because he wanted the emperor to think that Nangong Yi had an ulterior motive for going to Beiyun Country.
"I don't believe it. Yi'er has other things to do these days and has no time to go to Beiyun Kingdom." The emperor thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible for Nangong Yi to do such a thing, and he didn't
Knowing that Nangong Ye and the others already knew about Ling Yuwei's absence in Prince Yi's Mansion, they were still deliberately concealing it.
"Father, are the other things you mentioned about looking for Princess Yi?" Nangong Ye already knew that Ling Yuwei was not in Prince Yi's Mansion. Judging from what the emperor just said, the emperor should also know about it. It seems that he has been protecting Nangong.
Yi, even helped him with this matter.
"Do you also know about the disappearance of Princess Yi?" Nangong Ye surprised the emperor too much today. The emperor never thought that Nangong Ye also knew about this matter.
"Erchen not only knows about Princess Yi's disappearance, but he also knows where Princess Yi has gone." Nangong Ye felt a little excited, because a better drama would soon be staged.
"Then where did Princess Yi go?" The emperor did not ask Nangong Ye why he knew about Ling Yuwei's disappearance. What he wanted to know more now was where she was.
"Princess Yi went to Beiyun Kingdom because her true identity is not the daughter of the Prime Minister, but the seventh princess of Beiyun Kingdom." As Nangong Ye said this, he observed the emperor's reaction with the corner of his eye.
