"Lost whereabouts?" The third princess looked at Duke An hopefully.

Duke An Guoshi shook his head: "So many years have passed. If the prince was still alive, he would have appeared long ago. The cliff was extremely high. It took me several days to find the bottom of the cliff, but there was nothing but a few pieces of rags underneath."

"No, for so many years, people in the world think you are dead. But you are still alive. Perhaps the prince is like you, so there is something unspeakable inconvenience to appear." The third princess murmured to herself. She would rather believe that the prince was injured because of falling off the cliff and was better than his body was gone and his death was unknown.

"How did you encounter an ambush on your way back to Beijing?" Qin Shu wanted to know how the brave An Chengjun, who was so brave back then, was wiped out.

Duke An Guoqiu stared at his eyes and said coldly: "We received the emperor's imperial edict and asked the prince and I to return to Beijing immediately. We then left the brigade and returned to Beijing first. But when we were resting in Xiaozhoushan, we did not want to have a medicated medicine in our water. As a result, the soldiers lost their ability to resist when they encountered an ambush and were almost wiped out. At that time, I and the prince were discussing important matters, but they did not drink water. We fought and retreated, and eventually they were outnumbered..."

Qin Shu was breathing heavily, and Cheng Xin felt uncomfortable. He thought he was ambushed, and the enemy was numerous and we were few, but he didn't expect that he was actually framed. So many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in these conspiracies.

"Who is it!" Qin Shu murmured.

An Guo said justice: "The only ones who know our marching route so well, the prince, Mr. An, and the current emperor. In that battle, An Cheng's army was killed and injured, and only Zhong Qing and a few generals got rid of the pursuit and were rescued by the local people.

After Zhong Qing woke up, he came back to look for us as soon as possible. A few days later, I found a serious injury and fainted at the bottom of the cliff and took me back. In the following months, we were all recuperating and learned the results of the battle from the people. As the world heard, Duke An Guo protects Prince Jingping and dies under the rampant knife. Prince Jingping fell off the cliff and his body remains."

At this time, Zhong Qing, who came to Duke An, said: "We have been secretly investigating this matter. Later, there was a clue that someone had met Mr. An in Shu. We sneaked into Shu with Duke and found Mr. An. We originally thought that Mr. An was the one who betrayed us, but unexpectedly, when we found Mr. An, he was detained in the dark prison of the prefect of Shu, and his tendons were broken.

Mr. An is different from us. He is just a weak scholar. After suffering this torture, he is already dying."

"Who caught Mr. An?" Cheng Xin asked.

General Zhong Qing shook his head: "He was very happy to know the news that the Duke and we were not dead yet. He just insisted on saying a few words, and then he said, he heard Han Biehe's voice."

"Han Beihe, is Han Shangshu?" Qin Shu said.

"Yes. Mr. An is the military advisor of An Chengjun. He is wise and intelligent, and has the ability to remember everything he has seen. He can also remember the sound he has heard. He said that it was Han Biehe, and that must be! After Mr. An died, the devastated Duke wore his mask and settled down in Shu.

We have been secretly investigating the incident back then. But we didn't expect to find that the person behind this scene was even worse than we thought." After saying that, Zhong Qing glanced at Duke An Guo.

An Guogong said: "You can't know who is behind the scenes. Now that I'm back, the news will soon reach the emperor's ears.

No matter what happens next, you don’t have to worry about it, and don’t be impulsive.”

Qin Shu said: "This is impossible."

"Shu'er!"

Qin Shu interrupted Duke An Guo: "I was still young back then, and I can't do anything about these things. But now I am no longer the same as I was back then. Over the years, I have been checking the affairs of that year and found Han Shangshu. In addition to him, there is another person. I think you must be familiar with it."

"Who?" Zhong Qinghu's eyes widened.

"Prime Minister, Wen Dunhai."

"You mean Han Biehe and Wen Dunhai were the ones who framed us An Chengjun back then?" Zhong Qinghong said with his eyes.

Qin Shu said: "The conclusive evidence has not been found yet. However, Han Behe ​​and Wen Dunhai did not leave Meng, and Meng did not leave Jiao. But shortly after that war, he turned against each other for some reason and has become a life-and-death enemy in the court."

"Do you think they are against the target because of this incident?" asked Duke An Guo.

"Prime Minister Wen has a much higher rank than Secretary Han, and there has never been any conflict in the affairs under his jurisdiction. But why do they always face each other's tit-for-tat? This is strange. Also, although the two regard each other as enemies, they never dare to take action, as if both sides were holding each other's fatal handle.

I think if the person Mr. An heard back then was really Shangshu Han, then Prime Minister Wen must have participated. The two of them should have turned against each other because of this matter and were afraid of each other."

"Wen Dunhai was the prime minister back then and had no intersection with our Duke Anguo Mansion. Why did he frame us?"

Duke An Guo's words made everyone fall into silence.

Indeed, Prime Minister Wen had just gained a foothold in the court at that time. The emperor had just ascended the throne, and all his forces had not yet taken shape.

"There are only three reasons to frame one party. One is profit. The second is power. The third is love." Cheng Xin said.

Qin Shu and General Zhong Qing both looked at her.

Duke An Guo shook his head and said, "An Chengjun was ordered to send troops to quell the rebellion. The country was safe and the people were safe. Wen Dunhai and Han Behe ​​were officials of my Tianchu, and they only hoped that we would return after victory. Victory in this battle would only benefit them. We are military generals, they are civil officials, and there was no conflict of interests. They had power at that time.

As for love, it is even more impossible. Han Biehe lingers on the Flower Street for many years and has never heard of him having a close confidante. As for Wen Dunhai, he had just gotten married at that time, and he heard that he was very harmonious with his wife."

"I don't know about Han Biehe. But Prime Minister Wen is not what the Duke said." Cheng Xin simply informed Prime Minister Wen, Crown Princess Ruicheng and Prime Minister's wife.

The Grandma and the Third Princess looked at each other and both looked like they suddenly realized.

"No wonder Yue Gui, who was beside Sister Qin, suddenly left and married Prime Minister Wen. We all say that Prime Minister Wen does not seek power, just for those who are interested. But I don't expect that it is Sister Qin's reason."

"This is Wen Dunhai's personal affair. He has nothing to do with me and the prince. He has no reason to frame us for his personal affair."

Seeing the reactions of several people, Cheng Xin learned about Prime Minister Wen, and few people knew about it. He did not involve the royal palace and Duke Anguo's mansion. In this way, he could be eliminated due to revenge.
