After a while, Lin Yiqiu waved his hand and said to several other people: "You guys go out first. I have something to talk to Mr. Xia alone."
"Should I go out too?"
Xia Nianqiao pointed at herself.
Lin Yiqiu's face turned extremely serious and he nodded.
Xia Nianqiao still wanted to defend himself, but Cang Hong had already stopped him.
"Let's go, they have something serious to say, we will only disturb them here."
"Oh, okay then."
Xia Nianqiao put down the medicine bowl reluctantly, but she was still a little uneasy and gave a warning.
"Hey, you two must not have any conflicts? And you, Lin Yiqiu, must not bully my brother while he is weak! Otherwise I will never forgive you!"
Lin Yiqiu just rolled his eyes when he heard this. Miss, it was your brother who was criticizing me before, okay? I've always been polite.
"Let's go."
Cang Hong continued to urge.
Afterwards, Zeng Yumeng also behaved and left the room, and everyone closed the door.
"You're probably asking why I was caught here, right?"
Xia Lingfeng was very smart and understood instantly.
Lin Yiqiu nodded.
"That's right, with your skills and the intelligence capabilities of my Wu Kingdom spies, you will definitely not be caught by the Zhenfu Secretary in Wu Kingdom!"
"I've been confused from the beginning! Why were your traces discovered, and it happened to be discovered by that Li Xiaohua!"
After listening, Xia Lingfeng was not in a hurry to explain, but asked a question.
"Before that, I want to ask you how you did it first. The Wu Kingdom is not as good as the Qian Kingdom, but you can actually change the world here!"
"It's actually not that complicated. As long as you control people's hearts, nothing will be a problem."
Lin Yiqiu gave the simplest answer.
"People's hearts?"
Xia Lingfeng didn't understand.
Lin Yiqiu said simply: "I subdued Zhao Bingzhong, the former personal guard of the Empress Dowager Wu, and then promised him benefits and tied him to the same boat as Emperor Wu. That's all."
With that said, Lin Yiqiu simply recounted what happened in Wu State.
As Xia Lingfeng listened, his expression changed drastically, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Yiqiu could do such a thing.
In the end, he was completely shocked!
"That's how it is! You have sidelined Pei Tianlin! You have left him with no one to use!"
"That's right! This is how I deal with him."
Lin Yiqiu smiled.
"Pei Tianlin only relies on the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Palace Forbidden Army. As long as he captures these two things, Pei Tianlin will not be able to exert any influence on the palace!"
"So I targeted this weakness of his from the beginning! He didn't react, thinking that Zhao Bingzhong was still one of his own, but unfortunately he made a miscalculation in the end!"
"Terrible! You guy! It's so scary!"
Xia Lingfeng murmured and gave the most appropriate two-word evaluation.
At this moment, Lin Yiqiu was no different from a powerful minister in his heart!
Lin Yiqiu didn't care what he thought, and just continued: "It's time for you to answer my question, why were you caught here?"
This is the issue that Lin Yiqiu is most concerned about, and Lin Yiqiu also has his own conjecture in his mind.
The next second, Xia Lingfeng's face suddenly darkened.
"If I told you that even I don't understand what's going on, would you believe me?"
Subconsciously he clenched his fists, Xia Lingfeng's answer didn't sound like a lie.
After a while, he continued: "You should know the reason why I came to Wu, right?"
"Well, His Majesty said that you came to Wu State to communicate with the intelligence network we have deployed here. This matter must be done by someone you trust, and he must be very capable!"
Lin Yiqiu thought about what Emperor Qian said to him at that time.
Xia Lingfeng also nodded and said: "Yes, as the son of King Pingnan, I meet this condition, so I naturally came here."
"And you should know by now that I have my own woman in Wu State. With this relationship, no one will easily doubt my identity."
"But you still got caught!"
Lin Yiqiu frowned.
"And according to what Li Xiaohua said in the court, he determined that you were the target very early!"
"If you entered the Wu Kingdom secretly, they would never discover you so quickly!"
"It's like... it's like they knew beforehand! Waiting for you to come over!"
This sentence instantly awakened Xia Lingfeng!
"That's right! That's what it feels like!"
"Every step I take seems to be anticipated by someone, including going to Cuiyu Tower to meet people, including what happened to Zeng Yumeng! They know everything about it!"
"Then who knows the news about your coming to Wu State?"
Lin Yiqiu continued to ask about the key point.
Xia Lingfeng frowned when he heard this.
"You mean, someone betrayed me?"
"Is it not?"
Lin Yiqiu sneered.
From this point of view, only the inner ghost can explain it.
Xia Lingfeng thought for a moment and then revealed the truth.
"My status is special. There were only two people who really knew that I was going to Wu State at the beginning. One is the current Holy Emperor! And the other..."
Having said this, he suddenly fell silent.
His expression seemed a little solemn, and then changed!
It's as if he really can't say the name!
"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After a while, he shook his head repeatedly!
Lin Yiqiu knew that this name was definitely the key figure, so he advised: "Mr. Xia, now that things have happened, this person is probably the real mole!"
"No matter who he is, he cannot be sheltered! Tell me, who else knows about this!"
After hearing this, Xia Lingfeng was still stuck in a long tangle.
After a while, he clenched his fists, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Three words finally came out of his mouth!
"Xia Qingwu..."
"The eldest princess Xia Qingwu?"
At this moment, even Lin Yiqiu was immediately stunned!
Xia Lingfeng nodded with difficulty.
"After my father, King Pingnan, resigned, the eldest princess basically took over the border affairs! And I am her subordinate!"
"At that time, His Majesty's order was transmitted to the military camp. It was the eldest princess who personally led me to receive the order! She was the only one in the entire military camp who knew about it!"
"But it's impossible! She is the daughter of Emperor Qian! She has such a distinguished status! Why would she want to harm me? I have been loyal to Emperor Qian for so many years and have never done anything to disgrace Emperor Qian!"
Xia Lingfeng's breath was a little short, and it seemed that he couldn't figure it out at all.
After hearing this, Lin Yiqiu naturally understood that the eldest princess was the most suspicious person.
But now there is no evidence to prove that all this was plotted by the princess!
"Are you sure no one else knows?"
He asked again.
Xia Lingfeng closed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time.
After a while, he shook his head again.
"No, the eldest princess is the only one who knows, I am absolutely sure!" This chapter has been completed!
