This villain has become a ghost

"That's right," Song Zhiyi nodded and said, "but I'm not just making a futile suspicion. When I had this thought in my mind, I basically knew... who the spy was."

Indeed, Song Zhiyi is the commander-in-chief, and she will only discuss her strategies and plans with a few people of higher status in the military camp. So it seems that the scope is actually very small.

"Afterwards, His Royal Highness King Xuan cooperated with me and used some means to catch the spy."

Song Zhiyi frowned and said, "This person... is actually Min Caizhe, the newly crowned top scholar who was praised by everyone a few years ago and serves as our military advisor."

"It's him?"

Even Nangong Mingzhu was slightly surprised by these words. He looked at Yue Liuyun and explained to her, "This man is extremely talented in military affairs and the use of troops. More importantly, he was born in a humble family and does not belong to any aristocratic family. He won the top spot in the imperial examination entirely by his own ability. During the palace examination, he answered questions fluently."

Even Nangong Mingzhu thinks he is amazing, so he must be really amazing.

But...why is he an enemy spy?

This matter must not be that simple.

Yue Liuyun coughed weakly a few times and asked, "Did you find out anything during the interrogation?"

Song Zhiyi said, "He... committed suicide."

Nangong Qianshang added, "However, I discovered several letters in his residence that hadn't been destroyed yet. Most of them were correspondence between him and the enemy commander. There was only one letter whose origin is unknown, but it seems... it was from an official in Daying."

After saying that, he took out the letters and presented them to Yue Liuyun.

Yue Liuyun quickly finished reading all the letters and memorized them firmly in his mind, but the doubts in his heart increased instead of decreasing.

Min Caizhe was a child of a poor family and seemed to have no connection with the aristocratic families. However, when he became the sought-after new top scholar, it was hard to guarantee that no aristocratic families would try to win him over.

These letters indicate that it was not Min Caizhe who wanted to defect to Chiyu, but there was someone in Daying who used tough measures to order him to become Chiyu's spy. Compared with Min Caizhe, the person behind him seemed to be the key.

She remembered that Prime Minister Wei Yanzhi also came from a poor family.

According to Nangong Wanqing, Wei Yanzhi has been doing some stirring things up behind the scenes these years. Could he... be the one behind it?

If it was really him, then what was his purpose in doing all this? What good would it bring him to betray his country?

Song Zhiyi said, "I know that Your Majesty has high hopes and deep trust in Military Advisor Min, but I beg Your Majesty to believe me. Everyone in the army can testify to this matter, and I dare not speak rashly."

"...I also beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to thoroughly investigate this matter and pay tribute to the soldiers who died because of him."

Yue Liuyun rubbed his brows and nodded, "...Okay, not only you, I will also do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Song Zhiyi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nangong Qianshang said: "Then, I will also come to help..."

Yue Liuyun criticized, "...Royal brother, sometimes it's better not to be so clingy. I have more important tasks for you to do."

Song Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then the frost between his eyebrows faded a little, and a barely perceptible smile appeared.

Nangong Qianshang: “…”

He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Huang, what are you talking about?"

Oh, you are still pretending. Yue Liuyun saw that his fair white ears were flushed and spread to his cheeks. He looked so innocent.

Yue Liuyun said with a half-smile, "Tsk, do you really have to expose me directly? Today's matter can be explained by one person, but it took two people to come together. Now you are here, and you were still flirting with each other just now."

"I know you guys are rarely together, but you should know when to show off your affection. You're showing off your affection right in front of me."

Now, Nangong Qianshang's face turned completely red.

Song Zhiyi, on the other hand, remained calm and nodded seriously, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reminder. I will definitely pay attention to this in the future."

Wow, that's a disguised admission.

Yue Liuyun said that he was touched and had a mouthful of dog food.

Judging from Song Zhiyi's status, she is much higher than Nangong Qianshang. No wonder he is under her control.

Nangong Qianshang asked, "I wonder what the task your Royal Brother has assigned to me is..."

Yue Liuyun said, "I have been feeling unwell these past few days. My injuries have not healed yet, and I am unable to spare any time. I need your help in handling many political affairs, just like when I was injured. You will temporarily take over the position of regent and assist me."

Hearing this, Nangong Qianshang concentrated and said, "I obey your command! I will definitely not let my royal brother down."

"In that case, you should stay here for a while and review the memorials. If there is anything you need to discuss, we can discuss it with you when I return."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Liuyun stood up leisurely, holding the hand warmer. He couldn't help coughing a few times, and then said to Song Zhiyi: "General Song, please come with me to see someone, and then... go to another place."

Song Zhiyi: "I obey your order."

Nangong Qianshang: “?”

He left him here alone to read the memorials and ran away, and ran away with his wife. Is he a human being?

Nangong Qianshang asked, "Brother Huang, where are you going?"

Yue Liuyun said, "Go to the Ministry of War."

-

The person he was going to meet was naturally Qiu Shuangwan.

Yue Liuyun originally thought that at most, like last time, he would see a group of concubines in Shangxian Palace, chattering and playing board games.

In the end, she thought it was too simple.

In broad daylight, in the Shangxian Palace, one is the emperor's favorite concubine, the Empress Xianfei, and the other is the current general Qi Sha. The two of them are pulling and tugging at each other, showing no regard for propriety.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Try not to laugh, it's such a big green hat.

Song Zhiyi: “!!!”

Oh my god, is this something she can't bear to see? She actually happened to run into something like this. The emperor's health didn't look good to begin with, so he'd definitely be furious, right?!

She quietly took out a dagger from her sleeve and was ready to subdue the madman for the emperor.

Xia Ruozhi: “!!!”

Oh my god, why are the Emperor and General Song here?!

He secretly grasped the hilt of the sword, making a faint quantum fluctuation between struggling and not struggling.

If a general breaks into the concubine's palace, even if he does nothing, it will be hard to explain.

However, at this moment, the emperor, who should have been furious, actually raised the corners of his lips in pleasure. After coughing weakly twice, he said, "Did I... come at the wrong time?"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you have come at the perfect time." Qiu Shuangwan said with tears in her eyes, as if she saw hope.

He was so embarrassed to death when communicating with Xia Ruzhi. As soon as he met those affectionate eyes, he wanted to dig out an entire dream castle with his toes.
