Quick Wear: After the strategy was successful, she died again

Before the court had collected enough relief grain, a new urgent message was sent to the palace again, and along with the urgent message came even more intense rumors.

Chao Yan hurriedly summoned all the ministers to discuss the contents of the letter.

Gu Sui Nuan had already obtained first-hand information from Simingbo.

Qi Lin used some unknown method to make Qin Zhang regain consciousness, and he also remembered that Gu Sui Nuan used poison to control him.

Qin Zhang stood up and, as the king of a country, ordered the army of Chengguo to obey him.

It was also stated that it was Gu Sui Nuan who controlled him, and that Qin Qianze was the successor in his mind.

And now the Crown Prince Chao Yan is just a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.

Qin Zhang wanted the soldiers of Chengguo to go back and kill Chao Yan so that Qin Zhang could take power again.

Qin Zhang's idea was very good, and what he said was basically the truth. Unfortunately, he forgot that the one who held the military power and could command thousands of troops was Nie Qianfan.

And how could Nie Qianfan let these words that were unfavorable to Gu Sui Nuan spread?

"If the emperor was really being controlled, he could have informed the Nie family army directly on the day of the abdication. Now that he has been kidnapped by Qin Qianze for such a long time, he suddenly came out. I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on."

"I can't believe it."

Nie Qianfan raised his hand, and the archer in the dark had already drawn his arrows. The moment Nie Qianfan waved his hand, the arrow flew towards Qin Zhang.

Nie Qianfan almost killed Qin Zhang to silence him, but the masked man in the dark noticed something was wrong and pulled Qin Zhang back into the city wall.

Nie Qianfan wrote a letter saying that Qin Zhang was threatened and used by Qin Qianze, and was talking nonsense in an attempt to instigate the Chengguo army to submit to Qin Qianze.

He also said that Qi had been behind the scenes, and if they were fooled, Cheng might fall into the hands of Qi.

Nie Qianfan did not mention Gu Sui Nuan, but news of that day still spread to the capital, especially the fact that Gu Sui Nuan had put a curse on the emperor.

The rumors about Gu Sui Nuan had not yet completely died down, but they broke out again, and this time they involved such a large number of people that they became a hot topic among the people in an instant.

After Chao Yan discussed with his ministers and decided that he would personally take food and supplies to the border to deal with the matter, Chao Yan once again ordered people to settle these rumors.

But this time the impact is too wide and it is still spreading among the people, so it is not easy to settle it.

Gu Sui Nuan held Chao Yan back, not wanting him to keep busy. They were about to go to the border, and as long as they could solve the culprit behind the scenes, the rumors would soon stop.

"Sui Sui, do you know who has been trying to ruin your reputation?"

As the day of departure approached, Chao Yan decided to talk it out with Gu Sui Nuan.

"It's the Prince of Qi, Qi Lin." Gu Sui Nuan did not hide it.

These rumors could not cause any harm to Gu Sui Nuan. There had always been bad rumors about her in the capital, but Gu Sui Nuan never cared about it.

After much thought, Qi Lin went to so much trouble to spread the rumors and portray Gu Sui Nuan as an unforgivable villain. This should be to prevent Gu Sui Nuan from marrying Chao Yan in the future, right?

If Chao Yan wanted to become emperor and keep the position secure, he would not marry someone with bad conduct like Gu Sui Nuan.

However, it was a bit too early for Qi Lin to think about this. Now that everything has not been settled yet, he has started to worry about these things.

Could it be that when Chao Yan arrived at the border, Qi Lin still wanted to do Chao Yan a favor and suddenly turned against Chao Yan, allowing Chao Yan to easily deal with Qin Qianze and then sit firmly on the throne?

He's gone too far then.

"Sui Sui, since you also know it's him. When we get to the border, you must stay close to me. Qi Lin is a dangerous and strange person, you must not have any contact with him."

"I understand." Gu Sui Nuan knew that Qi Lin was in danger. Not only did this man have no morals, he was always trying to plot against Gu Sui Nuan.

Even if Chao Yan didn't tell him to, Gu Sui Nuan wouldn't get close to him.

"Even if you think you have killed him, you can't take it lightly." Chao Yan continued to remind him.

Gu Sui Nuan couldn't quite understand this.

Chao Yan said honestly, "About two years ago, I sent someone to kill him. I confirmed with my own eyes that he was dead."

At that time, it was almost the time when Simingbo discovered that he could not find Qi Lin.

No wonder the people in heaven suddenly intervened. It turned out that Qi Lin had already died once before.

No wonder Qi Lin no longer approaches Chao Yan to try to win his favor.

"When he forced the emperor to abdicate, I didn't expect him to show up again. I was caught off guard. Otherwise, with Qin Qianze, he would have been dead by then."

"So, Sui Sui, you must be careful and never leave me."

Qi Lin was clearly far away at the frontier, but he was able to reach out so far and even attacked Gu Sui Nuan.

What he should never do is to lay a hand on Gu Sui Nuan.

This time when Chao Yan goes to the border, he must kill him completely, and even Chao Yan of Qi will not be spared.

The only thing Chao Yan is worried about is Gu Sui Nuan. If they go to the border, they will meet Qi Lin, which is not safe for Gu Sui Nuan, but it is also very dangerous to let Gu Sui Nuan stay in Beijing.

Chao Yan had learned a lesson as early as the palace coup. Only by keeping Gu Sui Nuan by his side could Chao Yan ensure her safety.

.

By the agreed time, Gu Xu had really collected enough food and supplies.

Although he felt a little distressed, he didn't show it on his face.

After counting the food and grass, Chao Yan mounted his horse. Before leaving, he handed over all the affairs of the court to Gu Xu, as if he trusted Gu Xu very much.

Gu Xu thanked him respectfully and led all the ministers to stand at the city gate to see Chao Yan off.

The team delivering relief food was huge and rushed to the border almost day and night.

During these days, Nie Qianfan's letters never stopped.

He told Gu Sui Nuan that Qin Zhang had not shown up since he was nearly shot to death by arrows last time.

Moreover, with the battle-hardened general Nie Qianfan leading the army, the border cities have never been lost again.

In fact, because Nie Qianfan distributed porridge to refugees in the city where he was stationed, those people no longer turned to Qin Qianze just for a meal.

After all, if they joined Qin Qianze's side, they would have to charge into battle, and fight against the thousands of troops of Chengguo. They would not do such a life-threatening job until they had enough food and clothing.

But Qin Qianze was too despicable. He first secretly sent people to burn the food at night. When he failed, he tried to plant an undercover agent to poison the porridge. After being discovered again, Qin Qianze actually arranged for his people to blend in with the refugees.

There were many more mouths opening their mouths to beg for food. Nie Qianfan knew that there were undercover agents among them, but because these people were displaced and had no identification, he had no way of telling them apart.

Nie Qianfan couldn't stop distributing porridge. After all, those real refugees were in great need of food, and Nie Qianfan couldn't just watch them starve to death.

Nie Qianfan thought about locking up all the refugees who came to ask for porridge. Although that would allow him to catch Qin Qianze's men, there were also innocent people among them. If a fight broke out under such circumstances, many innocent people would suffer.

It was neither possible to advance nor retreat. If this continued, the food Nie Qianfan brought would soon run out.

Gu Suinuan watched as Nie Qianfan cursed Qin Qianze in the letter he wrote to her.

It has been a principle for hundreds of years that the fighting between two armies should not involve civilians, but this bastard Qin Qianze did not even let the civilians go.

Fortunately, Gu Suinuan and his companions will soon reach the city where Nie Qianfan is.
