Chapter 160: Someone Collaborating with the Enemy and Treasoning the Country

Xin Nianyan laughed, did not talk to him, led him to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and served tea.

Then sit down next to him.

"Your Majesty is here today. Do you have something to discuss?"

"The Northern Territory has invaded the frontier."

Qin Han was holding the tea cup, and Xin Nianyan's expression changed at the first words.

"What?" This never happened in my previous life!

"Then my grandpa..."

What Xin Nianyan is most worried about is that her grandfather will regain military power and return to the frontier.

"Don't worry, the Protector has not taken back his military power."

Qin Han knew what she was worried about and took the lead in comforting her.

"General Qiu and the prince received the military talisman and went to the northern region to quell the chaos."

Xin Nianyan raised his eyebrows, Prince?

It seems that he is really persistent in this military power.

In his previous life, he did not hesitate to play tricks on her and marry her. In this life, he even led troops to the battlefield for this purpose.

Now that she knew her grandfather would not go back, Xin Nianyan felt relieved.

In two years' time, there will be a plague in the Northern Territory, which will strike overwhelmingly. Almost the entire city of several small towns on the border will be infected, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Even her grandfather was plotted to die on his way back to Beijing because he was in poor health after contracting the plague.

A generation of heroes were so aggrieved and died in a sneak attack on their way back to their hometown, without even being able to see their hometown for the last time...

Seeing her thoughtful look, Qin Han raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xin Nianyan suddenly came back to his senses, looked around with a straight face, and sent all the servants around him back.

"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand."

Qin Han raised his eyebrows: "Say."

"My grandfather has just returned to Beijing to leave office, and the Northern Territory has begun to harass the border areas. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Qin Han frowned, "You continue."

"It took less than twenty days from the time my grandpa returned to Beijing to the time he left office."

"It will take eight days to expedite the eight hundred miles from the frontier and send it back to Beijing."

Xin Nianyan reached out and poured some light into the tea, then drew two lines back and forth on the stone table.

Qin Han narrowed his eyes and continued: "In other words, if someone spreads the news of the Duke's resignation to the border and informs the Northern Territory, it will take about eight days."

"Beiyu knew that the Duke had resigned and started a war. He then sent the battle report to the capital eight hundred miles away..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "The timing is just right."

"Someone is tipping off the Northern Territory." Qin Han's expression condensed.

Now it is possible that the soldiers on the border did not know about the Duke's resignation, but the enemy country knew about it and took the opportunity to invade. What does this mean?

It means that there are people in the court who collaborate with the enemy and treason!

Northern Territory... Xin Nianyan just thought about it and thought of Prince Pingnan's Mansion.

Zhang Yunhui and Xin Rouer are also somewhat related to the secret medicine of the Northern Territory...

Zhang Yunhui has been rumored to be the one responsible for her mother's death since she was a child. Now it seems that she doesn't know who is the one responsible!

If this matter is not handled properly, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the nine clans!

She couldn't mention this matter to anyone for the time being, not even Qin Han, but she didn't mention it a word.

Qin Han only knew that she had been harmed by Beiyu's drug, but he didn't know where the drug came from or who did it.

Xin Nianyan felt extremely aggrieved. These mother and daughter wanted to kill her. She knew it was these two people who did it, but she couldn't say anything. She had to hide the matter from them.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason means the Nine Tribes will be killed. No matter how much she despises these two people, Zhang Yunhui and Xin Rou'er are now members of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If they really want to kill the Nine Tribes, she won't be able to escape.

She only has two ways to deal with this matter now.

One, kill the mother and daughter so that there will be no proof of the drugged incident in the Northern Territory.

Second, drive these two people out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Before she could clear her thoughts, someone came to call at the door.

"Miss, the prince is here."

Xin Nianyan was stunned and frowned subconsciously, "What is he here for? Is he looking at Xin Rou'er?"

He is about to go on an expedition, so it is normal to come and visit his fiancée. After all, he doesn’t know how long it will take to come back.

The maid at the door shook her head. "No, I came with the second lady, and now I'm going to Mrs. Zhang's yard."

Xin Nianyan raised her eyebrows, feeling that Xin Rouer had gone out to complain.

What, you want to move the prince to suppress her?

This woman is really capable of causing trouble. As soon as her face can be seen, she will go out to find trouble for her!

"Why did His Highness the Prince come to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Instead of meeting with the Prime Minister, he ran to the woman's back house instead."

Xin Nianyan sneered.

Qin Han beside him raised his eyebrows and did not answer her question.

The little girl is so brave that even the royal tutor dared to make some insinuations about her.

But the prince's trip was indeed biased.

As an elder, Qin Han said: I have been scolded.

"Now that you are in charge of the family, do you want to take charge of it?"

Qin Han asked her.

"If you don't go, Xin Rou'er will bring him here to cause trouble for me."

Xin Nianyan shrugged, already familiar with Xin Rouer's methods.

However, this time she expected it wrong. Xin Rouer did not bring the prince to her. The prince went directly to the prime minister who was returning home from the next court.

When he heard the news, Xin Nianyan was still playing chess with Qin Han.

"Miss, the second young lady went to the study to find the master."

The maid at the door stepped in and spread the word.

Xin Nianyan twisted the hand of the chess piece and looked over with some surprise, "The prince is here too?"

The maid nodded, "The second young lady went with the prince."

Xin Nianyan laughed and put down the chess piece.

This time, I had some brains and knew how to put pressure on the Prime Minister, so as to achieve the purpose of teaching her a lesson.

It's just a pity that her father couldn't do anything to her earlier, and now that grandpa is back, he can't do anything to her even more.

"I don't have to listen to how they arranged me?"

She stood up, paused, and looked at Qin Han, "Your Majesty, please do as you please."

Qin Han also stood up and straightened his clothes.

"I, the king, will go with you."

If the prince wants to interfere in the prime minister's family affairs, he doesn't mind joining in the fun.

His Yanyan is strong, and he can't wait until the day when she takes the initiative to complain to him after being wronged, so he can take the initiative to support her.

The two of them left the courtyard together and went to Xin Yuan's library.

the other side.

Prime Minister's Study Room.

Xin Yuanwen was just about to go to the kitchen to see Gu Shuang, who was preparing dinner for the old lady. Then he left the study and saw the prince walking towards him with Xin Rou'er.

"I have met His Highness."

He knew that the prince had come to the prime minister's house, and went to the back house without saying hello to the head of the family. He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it, so he simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

But unexpectedly, she found him again.

"Why is Your Highness here? Please come inside quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and led the people into the house, where he asked them to have tea and take a seat.

Qin Yan walked up to the main seat and sat down. Xin Rouer stood beside him with her head lowered, looking gentle and pleasant, with a gloating smile at the corner of her mouth.

Xin Yuanwen sat aside and cupped his hands towards Qin Yan, "I haven't congratulated His Highness on taking over Hufu and taking charge of the three armies."

The sentence hit the point exactly, and the prince smiled contentedly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

After all, he is his future son-in-law. Xin Yuanwen also warned him in passing: "But the battlefield is really difficult and dangerous. Your Highness, please be careful in everything you do."

The prince waved his hand disdainfully, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

He had read those military books thoroughly in recent days, otherwise he would not have dared to accept this tiger talisman easily.

An old man can be in charge of the three armies. How can he, a dignified prince, be inferior to that old man Chen Guogong?
