After hearing these words, Rong Enqing almost jumped up.

She covered her aching chest and looked at Anyang County Master in amazement, "How is this possible?"

"It's true." Princess Anyang lowered her head and shed tears quietly.

"Yun Yi asked Yuan to marry Yang Wei under a false name, take care of his household chores, bear children for him, and even used hidden connections to push Yang Wei to the position of deputy step by step. The purpose was to tie Yang Wei to the Yun family's boat. Then kill my father and take his place. In this way, they controlled an army of 200,000 and the northwest border fortress at the same time."

Rong Enqing just felt terrified.

Once Yun Yi launched a rebellion, the 200,000-strong army would march south, leaving the border defenses empty, foreign tribes invading, and internal and external troubles. If he took advantage of natural disasters and took advantage of the court's confusion to start a rebellion, the Great Zhou would be overthrown overnight.

"The emperor said that for the sake of the Great Zhou and the people of the world, since he has guessed Yun Yi's plan, he can only follow his plan. Therefore, my father must be killed by Yang Wei! Only in this way will Yun Yi believe Yang Wei!"

Rong Enqing's eyes widened in disbelief. "Yang Wei is the emperor's man? You sacrificed your father's life to gain Yun Yi's trust?"

Princess Anyang cried and nodded, "The emperor told me all this himself. He said that this plan was proposed by my father himself. The only people who knew the inside story were my father, Yang Wei, and the emperor."

Rong Enqing was shocked. She didn't expect the truth to be like this.

If this is the case, then it is understandable that Princess Anyang said that Emperor Taihe would not blame her no matter what she did except treason.

At the same time, Rong Enqing was also impressed by General Xie's loyalty and courage.

Think about your own fear of death, and then think about General Xie's willingness to die. Wow, there's no comparison!

"County Princess, don't be sad. General Xie has the world in his heart and is loyal and courageous. The world will remember his achievements." Rong Enqing was not good at comforting people. He said a few dry words and then silently accompanied the County Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang cried when she learned the truth. She only cried for a while before calming down.

"Madam, what are your plans next?"

Rong Enqing thought for a moment and said, "I want to find a place to stay near the capital, and wait for the emperor to decide on the Shun'an Marquis's residence. By then, I will buy back all the maids in my yard. I also need to take care of the servants who are going to be sent to the army."

At this point, Rong Enqing looked embarrassed, "I still need the county lady's help with these matters."

As he spoke, Rong Enqing reached into his bosom and took out the oil-paper bag that he had placed close to his body. He opened it, took out the 100,000 taels of silver note inside and handed it to the Princess of Anyang County.

"County Lady, these are the silvers I brought from the Marquis' Mansion. Please help me buy Nanshan and the others, and help me take care of the people who were sent to the army. Give each person who needs to be sent to the army 20 taels of silver for self-defense."

Princess Anyang took the banknotes and looked at them. They were all large banknotes of one thousand and ten thousand.

She took out a few thousand-yuan bills and then returned the remaining stack to Rong Enqing.

"These are enough. Madam, keep the rest for yourself. You will have many other uses for the money in the future."

Rong Enqing looked at the thousand-dollar bills in Anyang County Lady's hand and wanted to ask if this was enough, but he held back.

She knew that if it wasn't for her consideration, Princess Anyang would probably not take any.

"Thank you so much, County Master."

The two talked for a while, and Ruhua came outside the door to report that the doctor had arrived.

So, Princess Anyang asked the doctor to come in and take a look at Rong Enqing. He found that his internal organs were not injured, but he just needed to rest for a while.

The doctor went to check on Yun Ye again. Yun Ye had already woken up. He was going to see Rong Enqing right after he woke up, but he heard that Anyang County was talking to Rong Enqing alone, and Zhang Shi tried to stop him, so he could only lie on the bed and wait for the doctor to come.

Fortunately, after the doctor examined him, he said he was fine. He just fainted at the time, but he was fine when he woke up, and he didn't even need to take any medicine. Only a little ointment was left to remove the marks and freckles. The finger marks on Yun Ye's neck looked really scary.

After the doctor left, Moqi, who had gone to kill Wu Huan, came back soon. He had killed everyone, and he had taken care of everything, leaving absolutely no trace. Even if someone investigated, they would not be able to trace it back to Anyang County Lady.

As for the soldiers whose limbs were crippled before, it would be useless even if they came forward to testify. Slandering others with empty words must mean that they don't want to live.

What's more, even if they had the courage to stand up and accuse Princess Anyang of murder, she would not be afraid.

Letting Moqi clean up the mess was just a way of avoiding as much trouble as possible.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, it was almost dawn.

Princess Anyang ordered the innkeeper to prepare breakfast for everyone.

After a simple breakfast, Princess Anyang personally took Rong Enqing and his party on a carriage, preparing to take them out of the city and settle down at a farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

However, when the group left the inn, they found that there were more soldiers on the street than yesterday. They would approach and question anyone who looked suspicious.

Because the whole city was under martial law, there were few pedestrians on the street, and few small vendors set up stalls. Therefore, the carriage quickly arrived at the city gate unimpeded.

"Who's in the car? Everyone get out and be inspected!" the soldier guarding the gate shouted loudly.

Ruhua and Tingqin opened the carriage curtain and walked out, saying in a cold voice: "The person sitting in the carriage is Princess Anyang. Do you want her to come out for inspection as well?"

"No matter who it is, they must be checked!"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, another soldier at the side reached out and pulled him, then quickly bent down and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, young lady. This is a fool, he just arrived and doesn't know much. The princess's carriage naturally does not need to be checked. Please!" Then he waved his hand to let him pass.

The group quickly left the city.

In the carriage, Rong Enqing couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Who are they arresting?"

Princess Anyang glanced at Rong Enqing, unable to put into words, and then said, "Didn't you send two people into the palace yesterday morning?"

Rong Enqing thought about it and nodded, "That's right. One is Yun Hong, and the other is the old housekeeper Li Mao. Any questions?"

Princess Anyang smiled and said, "Both are fake."

"How is it possible? I had him captured personally! How could it be fake?" Rong Enqing was shocked.

"Maybe they were real when you arrested them, but when they were brought to trial, both were fake. They were all wearing human skin masks."

The Princess of Anyang County sighed, "I don't know when they were replaced. Anyway, the whole city is under martial law now. In addition to preventing the rebels from taking advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, the main purpose is to capture the two of them and Xu Changping."

At this point, Princess Anyang took another deep look at Rong Enqing, "Xu Changping is said to be one of Yun Yi's most trusted military advisors, responsible for secretly coordinating all affairs in the capital. Moreover, Xu Changping doesn't seem to be Xu Changping. He was replaced by someone a few years ago. The emperor knows about this. It's just that the people in the Anguo Mansion don't know it themselves."

This bombshell news once again stunned Rong Enqing.

My goodness, how much information did Emperor Taihe secretly grasp? Why didn't he arrest anyone and let them run wild under his nose?

This time it's good, the person ran away...
