After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

He Yun's tone was sincere. Emperor Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes melancholy as if he really missed his daughter's father.

He Yun was extremely grateful at this moment. He had long known that Yin Xiang was a very petty person. Fortunately, when he turned Yin Hao into a eunuch, He Yun was worried that Yin Xiang would hold a grudge against him.

So he and Ye Jiu sent a letter to Qi Wuyou long ago, and Qi Wuyou also told him this in the letter.

"However, it has been so many days since you came back, and you even came to the palace to meet me that day. Why didn't you tell me then?" The Emperor of Qi came to his senses and asked.

He Yun had already gone through this process in his mind countless times. When he heard Emperor Qi asking the point, he immediately knelt down and apologized.

"I am terrified, Your Majesty. Although I have completed the mission assigned by Your Majesty and successfully escorted the princess to marry, it is my fault that Concubine Zhaoyi died. It is also my fault that the princess was frightened by two assassination attempts."

He Yun burst into tears and said sincerely, "I really don't want to bring up your majesty's sad memories."

He Yun sensitively noticed that Emperor Qi's expression changed after hearing that the princess had been assassinated twice.

He knew that his bet was right. He knew that Quotation Mark would not dare to pass the news back to Kyoto.

"I remember that the task of protecting my son and my beloved concubine was entrusted to Yin Hao," said the Emperor of Qi with a grim expression.

Speaking of Yin Hao, Emperor Qi suddenly remembered the hustle and bustle in Kyoto in the past two days and said to He Yun.

"He Aiqing, please stand up. You are also thinking about me. I don't blame you. The disappearance of my beloved concubine has nothing to do with you. You are the envoy I sent to negotiate peace. You have done a good job."

"I thank my lord for his great grace." He Yun kowtowed to express his gratitude.

He Yun sneered in his heart, you want to throw dirty water on me, you will be in trouble if you fail to protect me.

"Speaking of which, I really want to ask you, did the son of the Impression family really become a eunuch? What happened when he fell to the ground on the way back?" Emperor Qi asked curiously.

"This..." He Yun found it a little difficult to speak.

"Don't hesitate, tell the truth."

"Yes, after General Yin and I left the imperial capital of Xuan State..."

He Yun recounted every detail of what happened before and after they arrived at the tavern, of course leaving out what happened at Night Nine and Eleven.

"So, General Yin became like this after having sex with the boss lady? Has the boss lady been arrested?" asked the Emperor Qi.

He Yun said calmly, "I don't think the boss lady did it. When the boss lady came out of General Yin's room that night, General Yin was still fine. Many people saw it."

In fact, it was fake. Yin Hao had already fallen into a deep sleep at that time. The "Yin Hao" was actually Eleven in disguise. Everyone was drunk and thought it was Yin Hao.

"Have we found the real culprit?" Emperor Qi asked again.

"We found out that it was a commander close to General Yin who held a grudge against General Yin, so he committed this crime." He Yun said.

The Emperor of Qi understood clearly that the Yin family had done many shady things. Now that the previous dynasty had many businesses supporting the enthronement of the Fourth Prince, the Yin family had even set their sights on my position.

Emperor Qi looked at He Yun and said, "My dear minister, are you willing to share my worries?"

"I have no choice but to do this," He Yun said firmly.

The Emperor of Qi was relieved. He Yun came from a humble family and had no aristocratic background. He was an upright person and eloquent. He was a good weapon to deal with the Yin family.

It was not until He Yun left the palace that a smile appeared on his face.

He Yun did not expect that it would be so easy to get close to Emperor Qi. The Emperor Qi wanted to use him to overthrow the Yin family, and he also wanted to take advantage of the Emperor Qi's power.

He made a good move, and now it’s up to Ye Jiu.

Within an hour, He Yun and Yin Xiang confronted each other in front of the emperor. Soon after, the emperor sent Kang Zhi to escort Yin Xiang back to the palace, leaving He Yun alone. The news spread to the ears of all the ministers.

Before He Yun returned home, the congratulatory gifts were delivered to Li.

When He Yun returned home, things were piled all over the yard.

Li didn't want to accept these things at first. If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

But those people put down their things and left, and they couldn't be stopped. Lu Yue had just sent Xiao Heng to school and was not at home.

"In that case, mother, please accept them all," He Yun said after he came back and listened to what Li said. There was no surprise on his face, and it was obvious that he had expected it.

Li was worried, "Will this be a problem?"

"It'll be fine," He Yun snorted coldly, "These people are just trying to curry favor with me because I'm in the emperor's favor now."

"Then you should not accept it. If the adults find out..." The adult Li was referring to was Qi Wuyou. He didn't know who He Yun was working for, and he never asked, so he just called him adult.

"This is what that person meant," He Yun knew Li's concerns, "My Lord has told me to build good relationships with everyone in the court. Besides, the origins of these things may serve as evidence of their crimes. Mother, please keep them safe for me."

Qi Wuyou had noticed before that many of the things the ministers bought for her were priceless, which made Qi Wuyou wonder if these ministers were up to something, and the old emperor didn't even know about it.

Qi Wuyou simply gave the task of tracing the origin of the things to Yushu, which was why Xuan Yelan sent people to find Ye Qi later.

Hearing this, Li quickly responded and she and He Yun moved all the things to the warehouse for safekeeping.

Life continued to be uneventful. In her spare time, Lu Yue would teach the children to read. Li would also follow suit and within a few days, she could write a few simple words.

As for the ministers in the court, apart from sending those gifts, they had no intention of making close friends with He Yun. After all, the Yin family had not fallen yet. They would not offend Prime Minister Yin because of He Yun.

Five days had passed since the last secret talk in the bookstore. On this day, He Yun had just returned from court when he saw Lu Yue approaching him stealthily. She gave He Yun a look, and He Yun understood and went out with Lu Yue.

"When you were in court, Eleven came with a message saying that Butler Feng, Tang Li and eight or nine other people had gone there." Lu Yue whispered to He Yun on the way.

The agreed location was not a bookstore, but a pub in the south of the city, which was another base.

When He Yun and Lu Yue arrived, Ye Jiu was having fun playing with a child.

"Who is this kid?" He Yun asked with a frown.

The woman at the side stood up and said, "My Lord, this is my youngest son."

He Yun looked around the room. There was a man in his fifties, who should be Butler Feng, a young woman who looked less than twenty years old, two young women who looked exactly the same, one with a fair face and no beard, who should be a eunuch, and another who He Yun's first impression was a prostitute, and three people who looked like servants, one of them couldn't hide her fresh and refined temperament even though she was wearing servant's clothes.

He Yun had an idea in his mind that the woman speaking in front of him should be Yin Xiang's mistress Tang Li.

He Yun considered his words carefully, frowned and said, "Why did Madam Tang bring her young son here today? Do you know what we are going to do today?"

Tang Li was obviously stunned when she heard He Yun's address. She thought that the man in front of her would look down on her more or less, or even dislike her, but she didn't expect that this would be the first thing He Yun asked.
