My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.
Chapter 291 Secret Message
It is said that King Cheng deliberately poisoned his daughter. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister loves his daughter very much. When he talked about it in the Council Hall today, his eyes turned red and he knelt on the ground and begged King Cheng to give him an explanation.
Afterwards, the prime minister's men presented evidence that King Cheng was secretly collaborating with King Dingyuan.
The emperor was furious in the court and fined King Cheng three years' salary. He asked him to reflect on his behavior in his palace for a month and to hand over all the things he was temporarily in charge of.
At this moment, the Emperor has summoned Prince Dingyuan to the palace."
Hearing this, An Qingqian and Shi Qiuwu looked at each other and were both surprised.
What surprised them was not that the prime minister sued King Cheng, nor that King Cheng and King Dingyuan were secretly collaborating.
But the Prime Minister chose today.
Almost instantly, An Qingqian figured it out.
Perhaps it was because he got married yesterday, so even though the Prime Minister had prepared everything long ago, he still waited until the matter was over before telling the emperor about it.
Thinking about this clearly, An Qingqian couldn't help but feel a little warmer in her heart.
The two of them knew about this matter before, so they didn't react too strongly.
"Father, should our people take action?" Shi Qiuwu looked at the wise king.
"Don't worry, the people over there should be back soon." The wise king took a sip of tea and shook his head slightly.
Qi Ting went to the border to investigate the matter. With An Zhenyuan's secret help, he should have finished the investigation in the past few days.
Calculating the time, Qi Ting must return to Beijing with all the witnesses and evidence within three days.
There is no need for them to dirty their hands in this matter.
If you are not careful, you might arouse the emperor's suspicion.
An Qingqian and Shi Qiuwu accompanied the virtuous king and his wife for lunch before returning to their courtyard.
As soon as the two sat down, they saw Tianshu walk in from outside, followed by two servants.
The two servants each held a small box in their hands.
"Your subordinate greets the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Tianshu and his men respectfully saluted An Qingqian.
"Get up." An Qingqian glanced at Shi Qiuwu and knew that this must be his order.
"Princess, these are the account books of the shop under the name of the prince. These are the keys to the private vault and the things recorded inside."
Tianshu signaled the two people behind him to hand the box to Yingyi and Boyun.
"Why was it delivered today?" An Qingqian looked at Shi Qiuwu suspiciously.
According to convention, these things should not be given to her until she returns home.
"Well, since there is already a hostess here, of course I will hand it over to you in advance." Shi Qiuwu answered as a matter of course.
"These were all handled by Tianshu before. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
"Okay." An Qingqian nodded.
Tianshu and his men had just left when Qingcang walked in.
"Miss, I have something to report." Qing Cang bowed to An Qingqian.
"Tell me what you have to say."
Qing Cang did not say anything, but looked at Shi Qiuwu. It was obvious that this matter was not convenient for Shi Qiuwu to hear.
Seeing this, An Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly.
Before she could say anything, Shi Qiuwu stood up.
"I still have things to deal with." After saying that, he turned around and left with a smile, without any grudge on his face.
An Qingqian glanced at Yingyi, and Yingyi immediately asked everyone else in the room to leave.
"what happened?"
Qing Cang has been with An Zhenyuan for many years and is cautious in his actions. Since he is so careful, it means that this matter must be very important.
"Miss, last night the general sent me a message, asking me to give you this letter. Please be sure to burn the letter after reading it."
As Qing Cang spoke, he took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to An Qingqian.
There was sealing wax on the envelope. An Qingqian recognized that the pattern on it was the one she and An Zhenyuan had agreed on, and the sealing wax was intact.
She quickly tore open the secret letter and scanned its contents.
The further she went, the more surprised she was.
The letter said that King Dingyuan had placed a spy beside him named Chen Xiao, who was now a deputy general.
Qi Ting also discovered this matter when he was investigating at the border.
However, when Qi Ting was escorting Chen Xiao to the capital, Chen Xiao and another deputy general, Li Xiang, who was bribed by Prince Yong, knocked out the guards and escaped secretly. Now no one knows where they have escaped to.
Although Qi Ting is investigating, there are still no clues.
Because their identities were exposed, there was also An Zhenyuan's investigation.
Therefore, An Zhenyuan was very worried that these two people would do something bad to An Qingqian, so he told An Qingqian to be careful and not to go out unless necessary. In case of any problems, she must bring secret guards with her.
Chen Xiao and Li Xiang are both extremely skilled in martial arts and are very dangerous.
Most importantly, Li Xiang is also very good at poisoning.
An Zhenyuan also said that the situation was urgent and asked her to tell King Xian and Shi Qiuwu about it and ask them to make preparations early.
After reading the secret letter, An Qingqian looked very solemn.
Although she was not sure about Qi Ting's martial arts skills, she knew that he must be very capable since he was so valued by the emperor and had been with him for many years.
Even these two people couldn't be controlled.
An Qingqian put the letter away and sent someone to find Shi Qiuwu, and the two of them went to the virtuous king's study together.
After reading the contents of the letter, King Xian and Shi Qiuwu were also shocked.
"Since your father has said so, you two should be careful in the next two days. I will send someone to investigate this matter immediately."
"Yes, Father."
Back in her room, An Qingqian opened the letter again and read its contents.
Just when he was about to burn the letter, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
This piece of letter paper is a bit thick, not as thin as ordinary paper.
She picked up the letter again in confusion, held it in the sunlight and looked at it for a long time, but found nothing wrong.
At this time, a gust of wind blew from outside. An Qingqian was lost in thought and without noticing, the letter paper in her hand fell into the basin of water beside her.
An Qingqian was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses and was about to take it, she discovered that the letter had changed.
The word in the middle actually seemed to be floating.
"Qiuwu, Qiuwu, come and see." An Qingqian called Shi Qiuwu anxiously.
When Shi Qiuwu walked in front of An Qingqian, he also noticed something wrong.
He stared at the letter paper in the basin, and suddenly thought of something, so he reached out and pressed the letter paper in the water, and then rubbed it gently.
Then, all the words on the letter paper floated up.
"What...what's going on?" An Qingqian's pupils shrank slightly, she could not believe what she was seeing.
"Qianqian, this is called mounting. It means cutting out the words one by one and putting them together to form a letter." Shi Qiuwu explained to An Qingqian.
He had heard about this from the abbot of Fuguang Temple when he was there. This was also the first time he had seen such a thing.
Looking at the words floating around on the water, An Qingqian's expression changed slightly.
