Chapter 325: Their Respective Thoughts
"Investigation? To put it mildly, who will investigate this matter? Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin, said beside him.
"If my father agrees, my son wants to investigate."
"Lord Yan personally investigates? If this is cover-up, who knows? Tuoba Lie didn't agree with Chu Ruoyao's words at all.
"Father, since Lord Lie said that this matter is related to us, then at least we should be given a chance to prove ourselves." Chu Ruoyan insisted on saying to Chu Zhuangyan.
After hearing Chu Ruoya say this, everyone felt that this was a compromise solution. It can not only meet the requirements of Lord Lie, but also not make the Yan Wangfu react too violently, and also stabilize everyone's emotions.
"This is not bad......" Chu Zhuangyan thought thoughtfully.
King Qin on the side couldn't help but feel a little helpless after seeing such a situation: "Father, the son thinks it's okay to prove himself, but there must be a time limit."
"That's right," Tuoba Lie also took a step forward, "and you have to report every day, otherwise what if the Yan Wangfu escapes under the pretext of self-proof?" Or what about deliberately hiding something? ”
"Concealment?" Chu Ruoyan had gradually lost her patience at this time, "Lord Lie, you have to be ready, it's not us who is hiding anything, it's you." ”
Chu Ruoyan looked at Tuoba Lie and said, there was no hidden hostility in his eyes. He is like this now, and it is clear that he is threatening Chu Zhuangyan with the entire people of Nanxiao.
If they don't prove themselves, then they will really be directly executed by Chu Zhuangyan, if Chu Zhuangyan agrees to prove themselves, then Tuoba Lie will definitely try his best to stop them.
"King Yan said with a smile, you'd better seriously investigate this matter, don't say that Izumo Country has wronged you." Tuoba Lie's confident performance made Chu Ruoyan feel a little tricky.
It seems that this Tuoba Lie has been prepared before entering the palace, and the road to self-certification after himself and Li Luobing may be difficult.
After Chu Zhuangyan asked the opinions of the other ministers, everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Okay, I'll give you ten days, if you can't find out, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chu Zhuangyan looked at Chu Ruoyan and said.
Ten days? Both of them were a little incredulous when they heard this number, not only to collect evidence to prove their innocence in such a short period of time, but also to be on guard against Tuoba Lie sabotage, it was impossible to accomplish it.
"Father, ten days is too little." Chu Ruoyao stepped forward and complained.
"Then how many days do you say is too much?"
"Ask my father to give my son a month, and my son will definitely find out all this."
"No," Tuoba Lie immediately objected when he heard this time, "Let's not talk about whether King Yan will destroy the evidence, even if it is not destroyed, it is impossible for us to stay in the Bright Moon Country for so long." ”
Tuoba Lie's fierce opposition attitude made Chu Zhuangyan a little helpless, and now they were being led by the nose by the people of Izumo Kingdom.
If there is a word that they are not satisfied with, there is a possibility that Izumo Province will attack the Bright Moon Country. Izumo Province is not afraid of war, but Mingyue Country can't afford to fight at all.
"Then fifteen days, there must be an explanation within fifteen days." Chu Ruoyan still wanted to fight for it, but Chu Zhuangyan waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more.
After realizing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing could only accept this fact.
"As for the things reported every day, King Yan doesn't have to enter the palace every day, as long as he has an excerpt, he can enter the palace once every five days."
Chu Ruoyan nodded yes, and the surrounding ministers and King Qin did not object, although Tuoba Lie was a little unwilling in his heart, he still accepted Chu Zhuangyan's proposal.
After leaving the imperial study, Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing clearly felt the difference. In the past, some ministers who liked to surround Chu Ruoyan left quickly, but those who were close to King Qin slowed down because they wanted to see Chu Ruoyao's jokes.
"Let's go, let's go back to Dali Temple first." Feeling the sound of footsteps behind him, Chu Ruoyao pulled Li Luobing and wanted to leave quickly, but they quickened their pace, and King Qin also quickened his pace, walking side by side with them, and Tuoba Lie was walking towards them not far away.
The two sighed in unison, and there was no way to stop it.
"Why did King Yan run so fast? Let this king catch up. Chu Ruoyang said with a smile.
At this time, his heart was happy, since the crown prince was deposed, he has been secretly competing with several other princes, and only Chu Ruoyan is the most favored by him.
Now these two people have caused such a thing, their status has plummeted, and their influence in the DPRK and China has risen.
"Why does King Qin have to chase after us, shouldn't you go to a banquet with Prince Lie to celebrate at this time?" Chu Ruoyang didn't have a good impression of the hypocritical Chu Ruoyang at all, and she was ruthless when she spoke.
"King Yan's words are wrong," Tuoba Lie also caught up at this time, "This king and the king of Qin of your country are not related, so why do you want to set up a banquet?" ”
"Not a parent?" Chu Ruoyan sneered, "Do you two think that the emperor doesn't know if you don't say it to the emperor?" ”
"What can we say?" Chu Ruoyang's expression became a little unnatural.
"Father only needs to check a little to know the relationship between Li Luoxia and King Qin, the reason why I didn't ask who the child is this time is probably because I also know about this matter, otherwise why do you think my father agreed so easily?"
Chu Ruoyan's series of words made the expressions of these two people very ugly, and the two of them really didn't think about what he said, but they just felt that Chu Zhuangyan agreed too smoothly.
"What if you know?" Tuoba Lie stepped forward and stared at Chu Ruoyao's eyes and said.
"Even if he knows, it's not for King Yan to inquire about the news now, instead of arguing with us here, you might as well go back and think about countermeasures."
Chu Ruoyan was not to be outdone: "Even if the Lie King doesn't say it, this king also has this intention." I only hope that when the time comes, the king will find out the matter and tell the emperor, and the prince will not regret it. ”
The two glared at each other fiercely, and Chu Ruoyan left with Li Luobing.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, Tuoba Lie turned around and talked to Chu Ruoyang.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, speaking of which, we are also grasshoppers on a rope, those who are monitoring this king can be withdrawn, right?" Although a large part of the guards disappeared before, there were still people secretly investigating from time to time, which made him impatient.
Although Chu Ruoyang was quite dissatisfied with Tuoba Lie's commanding appearance, he also knew that now was not the time to go against him.
"Don't worry, Lord Lie, you will never see anyone else again after you go back."
"That's good, this king will leave first."
After Tuoba Lie left, Chu Ruoyang secretly cursed in the direction he left, isn't it the prince of Izumo Kingdom? If it weren't for the fact that he threatened Mingyue Kingdom, he would have fought together a long time ago.
But now you can't provoke him, and now you still need this Lie Wang Ye to contain Chu Ruoya, or directly pull Chu Ruoya into the water, and one of his competitors is one less.
After Tuoba Lie returned to the courtyard, Liu Manping greeted him.
"Lord, how is the matter resolved?" She asked Tuoba Lie with concern.
Before entering the palace, Tuoba Lie had promised that he would make a satisfactory solution to this matter, and now that it has taken so long to come back, it must have been negotiated.
"The emperor gave the Yan Wangfu fifteen days to prove their innocence, and if they couldn't prove it, they would immediately execute Princess Yan." When looking at Liu Manping, the ferocity in Tuoba Lie's eyes was a little restrained.
Fifteen days? Hearing this number of days, Liu Manping's heart was a little disappointed, she originally thought that Tuoba Lie's entry into the palace this time would definitely make Li Luobing have something to retribution, but she didn't expect to give her half a month.
After seeing Liu Manping's expression, Tuoba Lie knew that she was a little disappointed, and he gently hugged Liu Manping's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything, even if there are fifteen days, they won't make much of a move, and they will have to fall into my hands in the end."
Tuoba Lie's words have already been said to this point, and Liu Manping can only accept it.
"What would you think of the Izumo Province attacking the Bright Moon Kingdom?" Tuoba Lie suddenly asked Liu Manping this question.
They haven't seen each other for many years, and Liu Manping has probably developed feelings for Mingyue Kingdom for so many years, if the two of them are separated because he may attack Mingyue Kingdom, then there is no need for him to help Liu Manping with this matter.
"Attacking the Bright Moon Country?" Liu Manping was only stunned for a moment after hearing this, and quickly accepted this fact.
"The concubine doesn't have any ideas, as long as she keeps following the prince's side." Whether to attack or not has nothing to do with her.
If she had met Tuoba Lie before, she might have thought about stopping it, but after the Li Mansion had suffered so much, she had long since stopped caring about the lives of those people, as long as she could live.
"That's good."
Hearing Liu Manping's answer, Tuoba Lie was also relieved, so that even if he really started a war with Mingyue Kingdom in the future, Liu Manping would always be on his side.
"How's Luo Xia?" He felt a lot more relaxed after asking these questions.
"I just took the medicine, I've slept, but I'm in a bad mood all the time." Liu Manping glanced at the room and replied.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Tuoba Lie kept comforting.
After talking to Liu Manping and returning to the study, he called the little servant over and told him to pay some silver taels to the owner of the house, they might have to stay in Mingyue Country for a long time.
In Dali Temple, Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao have not left the house since they returned here, and they have been discussing what to do.
In the middle of the night, a man in a cloak suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard, and he nimbly avoided all the secret guards, and came to the front of the house and pushed the door in.
"Is that you?" At first, Chu Ruoyun was a little surprised, but after the person who came took off the cloak, he was completely relaxed, and the person who came was Murong Liuyun, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.
