"I accept the punishment, but I cannot let go of the border issues. General Yu has not led troops for many years, and I'm afraid he is no longer able to do many things. Let General Nie do it."

Nie Wushuang, the Jinlin Nie family. Not in the court, not in the capital, but in the Jinlin City between the capital and the border.

Due to Tianyuan's powerful national strength, other countries did not dare to invade at will. Nie Wushuang also resigned and returned home. He had not been to the battlefield for two years, but it was shorter than Yu Qingnian's time.

Emperor Yan thought about it and realized that he couldn't push Yan Siyuan too hard.

Jinlin is far away from the capital, and Nie Wushuang has no connection with Yan Siyuan. By sending him there, he can also place his own people around him and make Nie Wushuang his own man.

After considering it one by one, he agreed to Yan Siyuan's proposal.

Yu Qingnian's heart, which had been so excited just now, sank to the bottom of the valley. He felt a chill all over his body and cold sweat kept pouring out.

Now, not only has he failed to control Yan Siyuan, but he has also offended him. He can already imagine how difficult his life will be in the future, and he even doubts whether he has a future at all.

After Yan Siyuan left, he had collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

Emperor Yan glanced at Yu Qingnian who was slumped on the ground, and his face was filled with contempt when he saw the wetness under him.

I really don't know why he is surrounded by such useless people. Especially after seeing Shen Li standing upright next to him, the strong contrast made me feel even more depressed.

"Minister Shen, we don't know whether Shen Lingfei is really a rebel or not, so you should resign from your post for the time being and recuperate at home."

Shen Li bowed and said, "I obey your order."

After a morning court session, Shen Li was dismissed from office and Nie Wushuang was promoted. The Yu family had completely offended Yan Siyuan.

Qingyun, who was sitting leisurely in the cell, could no longer hold back her anger.

Although everything in the cell was fine, there was only a small window and no light could get in. After being locked up here for so long, she was already getting annoyed.

After reading the message handed to her by the secret guard, she became even more impatient.

At night, with the dungeon as the center, several secret guards spread out and headed in different directions.

At the same time, with the Ninth Prince's Mansion as the center, the secret guards quietly spread to different places.

After the Spring Examination is over, students do not rush to leave, but wait for the results to be announced. They gather in groups of two or three to eat, drink and have fun to relieve the pressure brought by the Spring Examination.

Li Yanlin gathered with several students, including Wan Shiyao. If you look closely, you can find that these are the same people who gossiped together in the reception building, without exception.

Li Yanlin looked at them mysteriously, which made the people who were called over very anxious.

"Brother Li, why don't you say something? You gathered us together but you don't talk. It really makes me anxious."

"Yes, yes," the person next to him echoed.

Wan Shiyao sat in the corner drinking tea, watching the performance of several people without making any comments.

Seeing that their curiosity was aroused, Li Yanlin didn't want to keep them in suspense any longer, so he said softly: "Actually, this matter is a bit weird."

His words made the hairs of the people around him stand on end, but out of curiosity they still wanted to listen further.

"Do you know the eldest princess?" Li Yanlin continued.

"Of course I know, and aren't you the one who knows it best? You must be resentful of being punished by the princess, right?"

This remark caused a burst of laughter from the people around. The coldness just now disappeared and the place became lively again.

Li Yanlin's face turned pale and blue, filled with shame and anger. He did have hatred, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to organize the party today.

When he thought of Qingyun's disgraced appearance, he felt extremely happy.

He suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said with a magnanimous look: "The princess is right to punish me. As a student, I shouldn't gossip like a gossiper, especially when the target is a member of the royal family. I, Li, have also read the books of sages for several years, so I admit my guilt."

After he said this, people actually looked up to him. After all, Qingyun had a very good reputation among the people. If he directly slandered her, he would probably attract rebuttals from others and would most likely cause public outrage.

Especially for the common people in the capital, the title of Princess Qingyun was sometimes more effective than the officials in the Dali Temple who redressed grievances.

If he wanted to discredit Qingyun's famous teacher, he could only do it in a roundabout way. After thinking clearly about what he should do, Li Yanlin concealed the hatred in his eyes and showed respect.

“When I, Li, first came to the capital, the first thing I heard was the title of the eldest princess.

Everyone knows that the princess saved the people from disaster during the flood. She lived and ate with the refugees, tried medicine herself, and found shelter for countless refugees.

Later, he solved many major cases, redressed grievances for the people, and eradicated evil. I admire him very much. But I didn't want to say the wrong thing in a moment of haste and upset the princess."

As he spoke, Li Yanlin looked annoyed and slowly lowered his head, as if he regretted what he had done.

When the people around him heard his remarks, they felt sad and tried to comfort him, "Don't be sad, Brother Li. The princess is broad-minded and will definitely not take this matter to heart."

"Yes, yes, Brother Li, you don't have to worry about it."

"But......".

Amid the words of comfort from everyone, a different voice emerged and the scene instantly became quiet, with everyone wanting to hear his next remarks.

The man was a little overwhelmed when he saw that he had become the focus. He scratched his head and asked in confusion, "But the princess didn't seem to be like this before. Instead, she and the young master of the Shen family did all kinds of evil and were known as the two evildoers of the capital. They were rogues who even dared to beat up the prince. How could they be so capable?"

This statement should have caused a rebuttal from everyone, but the scene was unusually quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke up to defend him, because what he said was true and could not be refuted.

Seeing no one respond, the man continued as if he didn't notice everyone's embarrassment, "Moreover, the eldest princess was imprisoned in the dungeon for plotting to murder the heir to the throne, and now many days have passed and the cause of the crime has not been investigated.

It is said that the Imperial Garden was filled with blood and resentment that day, and more than a dozen heirs died in just one hour.

Crash——.

These words, word by word, struck everyone's heart. Every time he said an extra word, the eyes of the people around him widened. Shocked was not enough to describe their feelings at the moment. It was simply shocking.

The person they now admired actually did such a thing, which was like shattering their faith and was unbelievable.

Anger, grief and other emotions filled their hearts, instantly igniting the entire teahouse, just like throwing a huge rock into a pond, causing huge waves.

They even ignored the words "not yet determined". It was like hot oil dripping into ice water, boiling and scalding.
