Hearing the question from Empress Ying Yue, Li Changsheng briefly recounted everything he knew.

Ying Yue was shocked when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "Are you saying that Xiao Yunyong and the Xiongnu Imperial Preceptor Batulu conspired to assassinate General Xiao Tiangui?"

Li Changsheng nodded and replied, "Yeah, not bad!"

Ying Yue asked: "What should we do next?"

Li Changsheng said, "We need to first find out whether the general is dead or alive. We also need to see how Xiao Yunfei plans to respond."

Ying Yue nodded thoughtfully and said, "Ever since the news of General Xiao Tiangui's assassination, Xiao Yunfei has stayed indoors and has also dispatched 3,000 elite Tiger Wing Guards to the General's Mansion."

At this moment, Qingying understood something and said, "If we sneak into the General's Mansion and control Xiao Yunfei, wouldn't we be able to turn the passive situation into the active one? Maybe we can even take over the Tiger Wing Guard in the name of the imperial court?"

Li Changsheng shook his head when he heard this.

"This is inappropriate. Xiao Yunfei is surrounded by many experts. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy and make the already tense situation even more uncontrollable."

"If Luodu's two main forces, the Dragon Guards and the Tiger Wing Guards, were to turn on each other, I'm afraid the entire Luodu would be destroyed, and the people of Jiuzhou would suffer!"

Ying Yue thought about it and felt that what Li Changsheng said made some sense.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Li Changsheng, what do you think we should do?"

Li Changsheng said, "Xiao Yunfei probably doesn't know yet that it was his good brother who teamed up with the Xiongnu State Master to assassinate their father."

"The most urgent thing is that we should tell him the news first!"

Ying Yue asked, "Xiao Yunfei probably won't believe it, right?"

Li Changsheng said, "If we go and tell him, he definitely won't believe us. But there's one person he might believe. At the very least, he'll investigate it secretly!"

"After all, the truth will come to light. The fact that Xiao Yunyong and Batulu teamed up to assassinate the general will definitely not be hidden for long."

"Given Xiao Yunfei's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Yingyue and Qingying looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Li Changsheng, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Without further ado, Li Changsheng went to Ganquan Palace in the name of His Majesty to meet Queen Xiao Yufei that day.

Concubine Xiao Yu was shocked to see Li Changsheng, who was supposed to be far away in Yannan, suddenly visit her late at night.

She stared at Li Changsheng with her big watery eyes without blinking.

"People outside say that you killed my father. Is this true?"

When Li Changsheng heard Xiao Yufei's question, he did not answer directly.

Instead, he looked directly into Xiao Yufei's eyes.

"Do you think this is true?"

Xiao Yufei avoided Li Changsheng with those deep and sincere eyes.

"I have no idea!"

Li Changsheng grabbed Xiao Yufei's shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"Then I said, I didn't assassinate your father, do you believe it?"

Xiao Yufei bit her lip lightly and nodded.

"I believe you!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng hugged Xiao Yufei tightly in his arms.

"Yu Fei, don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I'm here!"

Feeling the warmth in Li Changsheng's arms, Xiao Yufei's nerves, which had been tense for the past two days, finally relaxed.

"Li Lang, can you tell me what is going on? Is my father still alive?"

Li Changsheng said: "I don't know whether the general is alive or dead now. But I know who is most likely the murderer!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufei couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Yunyong!"

"What, he's my second brother, how is this possible?"

Xiao Yufei was shocked when she heard that the person who assassinated her father was actually her second brother. Her face was full of disbelief.

Li Changsheng had expected Xiao Yufei's reaction.

He comforted Concubine Xiao Yu very patiently.

After he calmed down a little, he told the whole story in detail.

After knowing the whole story, Xiao Yufei immediately had a look of deep sorrow on her face.

"My second brother is so confused, so confused!"

After hearing Xiao Yufei's words, Li Changsheng knew that she had chosen to believe him.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent matter is to tell the General the Truth. Otherwise, if war breaks out, the Nine Provinces will be destroyed and all lives will be in vain!"

Xiao Yufei also knew the seriousness of the matter and said, "Then there is no time to lose. Let's go see my brother now!"

Li Changsheng nodded and said "OK".

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yunfei, who was about to go to bed, suddenly heard his subordinates report.

It is said that the Queen Mother came to visit late at night!

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Yunfei and his wife Yan Wanqiu were both very surprised.

"Strange, why did Third Sister come here so late at night?"

Yan Wanqiu said, "Perhaps she has something important to discuss with you. Otherwise, considering her status as the queen, she would definitely not come in the middle of the night!"

Xiao Yunfei thought about it and felt that what his wife said made sense.

"Then you go get some sleep first, I'll go over and take a look!"

Yan Wanqiu said, "It's already late, how can I still sleep? I'll go with you!"

Wait until the couple are dressed and come to the study.

When he saw Li Changsheng, he actually followed him.

Xiao Yunfei and Yan Wanqiu's expressions suddenly changed.

"Li Changsheng, you are so brave to come here!"

When Xiao Yufei saw her brother, she immediately exploded in rage and hurried forward to persuade him.

"Brother, I brought Little Li here this time because I have something important to tell you!"

Seeing this, Yan Wanqiu took the opportunity to pull her husband's arm.

"Master, let's first hear what's important from Concubine Yu!"

After hearing his wife's persuasion, Xiao Yunfei went along with it and temporarily suppressed his anger.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Xiao Yu concisely recounted everything that Li Changsheng had said to her in Ganquan Palace.

"Yu Fei, what are you talking about? Did Xiao Yunyong collude with the Xiongnu Imperial Master and assassinate my father?"

Xiao Yunfei's reaction was exactly the same as Xiao Yufei's reaction when she first heard the truth.

In his impression, his younger brother, although a little self-willed and arrogant, was a bit arrogant.

But he would definitely not do such a heinous and beastly act.

Thinking of this, he glared at Li Changsheng.

"Third sister, this Li Changsheng told you all these things, right?"

Xiao Yufei did not answer, but glanced sideways at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng stepped forward and said, "That's right, and I can guarantee that everything the Queen says is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. If not, I will be struck by lightning!"

I heard Li Changsheng's solemn oath and the poisonous oath he made.

This made Xiao Yunfei believe most of what he said.

Moreover, regarding the situation in Yannan.

He is not completely ignorant.

Although he doesn't know as much as Li Changsheng, the person involved.

But I still understand a little bit.

A large part of what Li Changsheng said matched the details he knew.

But even so, Xiao Yunfei still had a natural resistance to this dead eunuch who had killed his beloved daughter.

"Li Changsheng, this is just empty talk. Why should I believe you?"

Before Xiao Yunfei could finish his words, Li Changsheng suddenly fixed his eyes on him.

Xiao Yunfei was startled and didn't have time to react.

Then he saw Li Changsheng approaching.

At the same time, a dagger flashing with cold light was pressed against his throat.

Seeing this sudden scene, everyone present was shocked.

Xiao Yufei even cried out in disbelief, "Little Li, what are you doing? Let my brother go!"

Li Changsheng smiled indifferently and put away the dagger.

"General Zhonglang, if it's true as the rumors say, I'm the one who assassinated the general. You would have died on the spot by now!"

Xiao Yunfei was still in shock.

But I have to admit that what Li Changsheng said was basically true.

"Li Changsheng, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Changsheng's expression was solemn as he spoke word by word, "I don't want to do anything. I just don't want the Nine Provinces to perish and the people to suffer!"

"That's all I have to say. I'll take my leave now!"

Before Li Changsheng could reach the door, the Xiao family's death squad, who had heard the noise, swarmed in, each holding a sword and guarding outside.

It seems that as long as Xiao Yunfei gives the order.

They would risk their lives and rush forward like moths to a flame...
