After many days of observation and testing, Jiang Ningwan was almost certain that Qin Beihuang was a fake.

But she did not make it public.

If you're going to catch someone, catch a big one.

The Dali Temple continued to investigate her and the King of Chu. After Jiang Ningwan was suspended from her post, there were people in the court who spoke up for her every day.

Even Song Mingyu stood up.

He also invited Song Jiaoyun to the court and publicly clarified that she had nothing to do with the King of Chu. It was just a business cooperation in the past, and the Song family had never colluded with the Chu Palace.

But this case cannot be easily resolved by their plea for leniency and clarification.

The Dali Temple has been slow to produce results.

Put off again and again.

A few days later, urgent news came from the border that tens of thousands of Dahan troops were approaching and Chongping City was about to be unable to be defended.

The news came very suddenly, and the sudden invasion of the severe cold was also very sudden.

He threatened to demand an explanation for Princess Dahan.

If Daning is willing to hand over the culprit who killed Princess Dahan, he will withdraw his troops immediately. Otherwise, he will capture Chongping and massacre the entire city!

There was a lot of discussion in the court.

"Princess Dahan was killed by General Jiang."

"Dahan's actions are simply outrageous! It's a good time to settle Rumengzui's score with them!"

Soon, the emperor came into the hall and sat down, and the hall became quiet.

The emperor spoke slowly, "It is rather a coincidence that Dahan is sending troops at this time. What are your opinions, my dear ministers?"

Lu Lingsong was the first to step forward. "We only have two ways to deal with this Great Cold invasion. First, hand Jiang Ningwan over to them in exchange for peace on the border and protect the lives of tens of thousands of Chongping residents."

This statement caused dissatisfaction among the ministers.

He angrily shouted, "Handing over our Daning general, what's the difference between this and Dahan kneeling down and begging for mercy?"

"General Jiang has protected Da Ning and made great military achievements for her. If we hand her over to the enemy, it will undoubtedly help to enhance Da Han's prestige and chill the hearts of the people!"

So people don’t agree.

Lu Lingsong added: "Then there is another way, to meet the enemy head-on!"

"Dahan has assembled a massive army and is coming with such force that Chongping's forces can only hold out for ten days at most! If Dahan really wants to massacre all the people of Chongping as he says, then we must send reinforcements to the border now!"

"The troops stationed in various places are not enough to fight against Dahan. We must mobilize the Lingwei Army!"

After a moment's silence, Lu Lingsong continued, "But right now, General Lingwei's Jiang Ningwan's suspicions haven't been cleared. If she's really colluding with Dahan, then sending her to support the border would undoubtedly be sending Chongping into the hands of the enemy!"

"Therefore, I believe that we should choose another suitable person to take over Lingwei Army and support Chongping!"

Hearing this, the court fell silent.

What Lu Lingsong said was not wrong. Jiang Ningwan's suspicion has not been cleared yet, so it is inconvenient for her to participate in this battle.

Qin Wenli spoke slowly: "Who do you think is more suitable to take over Ling Weijun and go to support?"

Song Mingyu stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go!"

Yan Huixue also stepped forward and said, "I am from the Lingwei Army and am willing to go to Chongping to repel the enemy!"

But someone said, "This battle with Dahan is no joke. The lives of tens of thousands of Chongping citizens are at stake. I think we should send in experienced veterans!"

But there are not many veterans available now, as they are all stationed in fortresses and cannot be easily mobilized.

At this time, Qin Beihuang stood up and said, "Although I haven't experienced a hundred battles, I have led several southern expeditions. Moreover, half of the Lingwei Army were merged from the Xuanwei Army. I understand them well and know how to use them!"

"This time we will definitely be able to repel Dahan and protect Chongping!"

Qin Wenli thought about it for a while.

Some court officials objected, "Qin Beihuang was also implicated in Ru Mengzui's case. How do we know he wasn't colluding with Dahan?"

"Qin Beihuang is inappropriate!"

Lu Lingsong helped to speak up: "If Qin Beihuang is not suitable, do you have any better candidates?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany Qin Beihuang! We can supervise each other! If Qin Beihuang shows any abnormality, I will kill him with my own hands!"

There was silence in the court.

Jiang Zhouye sneered in his heart. Everyone knew that the two of them were now in the same group.

But he did not stand up to oppose it.

Seeing this, Qin Wenli thought for a moment and said, "Qin Beihuang is indeed more familiar with the Lingwei Army in terms of how to deploy troops. So, Qin Beihuang and Yan Huixue should go to Chongping together to provide support!"

Hearing this, Qin Beihuang was delighted, "Yes! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Lu Lingsong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he took away the military power from Jiang Ningwan.

Regardless of whether the emperor is concerned about rumors or wants to protect Jiang Ningwan, he has made a wrong move and there is no turning back.

After the court was dismissed, Qin Beihuang immediately began to prepare.

Early the next morning.

Ling Wei's army assembled outside the city.

All the officials gathered here, and the emperor saw them off on the city wall, so that Qin Beihuang could control the Lingwei Army and win the battle successfully.

Just as Qin Beihuang was about to set off, a figure suddenly appeared from behind and called out, "Beihuang!"

Qin Beihuang turned around and saw the woman, with a hint of confusion between his brows.

When the officials around saw that figure, their faces changed drastically.

It’s broad daylight, what a ghost!

On the city wall, Hai Dehong was also stunned, "Your Majesty, isn't that Princess Yi? Isn't she dead?"

There was a lot of discussion all around and it was very noisy.

However, Qin Beihuang could not hear any useful clues from the noisy sounds.

He could only watch as the woman ran towards him and hugged him, "Beihuang, I finally see you again!"

Qin Beihuang was at a loss, "You..."

Everyone around was terrified, but compared to their shock, Qin Beihuang seemed very calm, not surprised at all, just a little confused.

When Lu Lingsong saw this scene, his face turned pale.

Princess Yi?

Hell?

Why did you appear at this time?

He sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to help Qin Beihuang.

At this time, Jiang Zhouye rushed over and grabbed Lu Lingsong, "General Lu, I have something I want to discuss with you!"

He put his arm on Lu Lingsong's shoulder and pierced the silver needle in his hand into Lu Lingsong's shoulder and neck. Lu Lingsong felt a sharp pain, dizziness, and suddenly fell down.

At this time, Princess Yi was still holding Qin Beihuang tightly. Qin Beihuang broke free and looked around for Lu Lingsong.

But no!

Lu Lingsong is missing!

"Beihuang, say something, why don't you say anything?" Princess Yi's eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi walked over slowly.

"Are you looking for Lu Lingsong?" Jiang Ningwan asked softly.

Qin Beihuang's expression changed.

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips, "Why are you ignoring your mother?"

Qin Beihuang was shocked and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, "Mother?"

Princess Yi smiled with satisfaction and raised her hand to touch Qin Beihuang's head, "Hey! My dear son!"

Qin Beihuang felt that something was wrong at this moment, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Mom, I'm leaving now. Let's talk when I get back!"

Qin Beihuang turned around and left, just wanting to leave this place quickly.

But his shout shocked everyone present.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

It's strange enough that Princess Yi came back to life!

Qin Beihuang still calls her mother so calmly?

"Qin Beihuang! I told you she's your mother, and you really believed it?"

"do you know her?"
