Gu Haoran still didn't think much of Tong Fengjiao's words on the surface, but he was a little worried in his heart.

He ordered Gu Shiyan to go to supervise the army, if what Mi Xin said was true, then this move was simply a disaster!

Therefore, while waiting for the results of that intelligence, Gu Haoran sent a secret order to Long Jin, the head of the Barbarian Division, ordering him to immediately verify the whereabouts of the prince and the movements of the various armies of the Eastern Wilderness Waiting Office.

Some time later, a eunuch came to the door of the compartment.

"Your Majesty, the emperor, Chun Qiao asked to see him, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters."

Chunqiao, this is the personal palace maid who stayed by Tong Fengjiao's side to serve before.

Tong Fengjiao's spirits perked up, and she said urgently: "Hurry up!" ”

Gu Haoran was calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

"Announce it."

"Yes!"

Before long, Chun Qiao hurriedly walked into the main hall with his head down.

Seeing this, Xu Guanxiong, Tan Yahui and others, who were still waiting quietly in the main hall, quietly looked at each other, and their expressions became even more suspicious.

They couldn't figure out what was going on, so that His Majesty and the Empress had a long secret conversation alone and refused to come out.

Now, the personal palace maid beside the emperor has been summoned in again, and her expression seems to be heavy and nervous, I really don't know what the situation is behind this.

In the compartment, after Chunqiao saluted the two, he directly began to report.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress, the people sent by the slave maid to Baixiao Pavilion to inquire about the information have responded."

"According to feedback, the current Empress Dowager of Haoyuan, Qiu Chunning, is indeed no longer herself, her real identity is a strong man of the Sea Elf Clan!"

As soon as these words came out, Tong Fengjiao's body was shocked, her face turned slightly pale, Gu Haoran also stared, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth beat slightly.

The eyes of the two kept changing, but they were not in a hurry to make a sound, and continued to listen to Chunqiao's report.

"As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in addition to the fact that the Imperial Dynasty has paid for him to be exempted from detection of his whereabouts, there are also people who have added the weight of his true identity exemption for him in Baixiao Pavilion, and he can't get an answer from Baixiao Pavilion."

"In addition, our people also tried to buy what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after the Sword Gate Change, but they were also paid a free visit fee for this aspect......"

Tong Fengjiao bit her lip and barely maintained her composure, waved her hand and said, "You go down first." ”

"Yes!"

When Chun Qiao left, Tong Fengjiao looked at Gu Haoran with a bitter face.

"Emperor, I'm afraid the answer has already been put in front of us......

Gu Haoran shook his head and pretended to be calm: "Don't panic first, maybe these free fees are paid by the prince himself?" ”

Having said that, Gu Haoran's heartbeat was accelerating.

"You wait here for now, and I'll arrange some things."

After speaking, Gu Haoran walked out of the compartment and waved away most of the ministers in the palace, leaving only Xu Guanxiong and Tan Yahui.

The crown prince has been moving around a lot of people in the past two years, but he basically has little contact with these two.

Moreover, these two are also the real pillars of the wilderness, and they are the two of the humerus ministers he trusts the most, and Gu Haoran still trusts them very much.

But even so, Gu Haoran did not rashly talk about this matter with the two of them, but issued several secret decrees one after another, and sent his henchmen to quickly deliver the decrees.

After doing this, Gu Haoran stayed on the throne and waited quietly, without saying a word.

Xu Guanxiong and Tan Yahui frowned secretly, and after waiting for a long time, they finally couldn't hold their breath anymore.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what kind of change is more important than dealing with the threat of the Great Xia Dynasty? You've decided to send those two armies to support both sides of the battlefield, did you issue a decree for them to leave immediately? If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the situation on the front line will become unfavorable......"

However, in the face of the questions of the two, Gu Haoran still refused to give an answer, but said with a calm face: "Don't worry about the two Aiqing, maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Let's wait until there is an answer, and then it's not too late to talk about him. ”

In this way, the four of them were in different positions, each thinking nonsense, and there was no communication.

It wasn't until two or three quarters of an hour later, when Long Jin hurried over, that all this was broken.

"We're here, see Your Majesty'......"

"No need to be polite, say it quickly."

Gu Haoran waved his hand impatiently, staring at Long Jin and urging.

Long Jin glanced at Xu Guanxiong and Tan Yahui, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, originally in the sight of my barbarian eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been staying in the army. But after getting your will, the minister asked people to carefully investigate, and it turned out that the prince was actually just a stand-in, and the real prince's current whereabouts are unknown! ”

"In addition, Zhendong General Qi Hongyuan is not in the army, and I don't know where he went."

"Finally, regarding the movements of the armies of the Eastern Wilderness, after careful investigation by the Barbarian Division, it was found that most of its troops stayed in the original camp, but they had stepped up their combat preparations, and the camp gates were also guarded, and it seemed that they were ready to open and fight at any time, and they should be actively responding to the possible surprise attack in the direction of the Cangying Emperor."

"However, there are several other elite troops of the Eastern Desolation that have disappeared into the camp, and their whereabouts are unknown!"

Hearing this, Gu Haoran's face turned pale, and the look of anger in his eyes was mixed, and he couldn't even help but slap the table hard.

But Tan Yahui and Xu Guanxiong were staring at each other, a little at a loss.

From this information, they are keenly aware of what is wrong, but they are not sure what is wrong. Or, maybe it's a guess, but it's too scary to think about it.

At this time, Tong Fengjiao suddenly walked out of the cubicle, looking anxious.

"Your Majesty, it can't all be a coincidence that all these anomalies are abnormal! The facts are clear, and we must respond now! ”

Gu Haoran gritted his teeth stubbornly, and there was a surging anger boiling in his eyes.

"Damn! Damn the sea elves! Damn Shentu Moxiong! ”

Hearing Tong Fengjiao's words and Gu Haoran's angry shouts, Tan Yahui and Xu Guanxiong looked hesitant.

"Your Majesty, what happened? You mentioned the Sea Elf Clan, could it be that the mysterious Sea Elf Clan and the Eastern Wilderness have united to plot against the Imperial Dynasty? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, what the hell is going on? You also asked the Dragon Master to verify the whereabouts of the crown prince, could it be that His Royal Highness the crown prince also colluded with them? This ......"

Looking at the two ministers who were shocked and at a loss, as well as Long Jin, who was also a little unclear, Gu Haoran finally stopped hiding it.

"Not long ago, someone sent a secret letter to the emperor. The secret letter said that the prince had actually been poisoned as early as when he was imprisoned by Shentu Moxiong after the Sword Gate Change! The current crown prince is actually the result of the Sea Elf Clan's use of some kind of secret means to replace him! ”

"In addition, the Sea Elf Clan has controlled the Eastern Wilderness Hou Shentu Moxiong a long time ago."

"Finally, the letter also said that the Sea Elf Clan wants to use the 'Prince' and the Eastern Desolate Hou to subvert the Imperial Dynasty, and let the prince use his current identity to launch a mutiny, so as to justifiably steal the rule of my Desolate Ancient Imperial Dynasty!"

After listening to Gu Haoran's explanation, the three ministers instantly turned pale in shock, and their bodies trembled slightly.

Because if it's true, it's terrible!

"Your Majesty, is this—Is this true or false? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually dropped, which is too unbelievable......"

Hearing Tan Yahui's muttering, Gu Haoran snorted coldly and said, "At first, I didn't believe it at all!" But now, judging by all the signs, it seems that it can't be faked! ”

Xu Guanxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, if all this is true, then it will be troublesome!" ”

"Judging from the information provided by the Dragon Master, the other party should have already started to launch, and the first target must be the imperial capital!"

"Therefore, the minister suggested that martial law should be ordered immediately to impose martial law in the imperial capital, and a large army should be mobilized to gather in the imperial capital to strengthen the imperial capital's defensive power!"

"In addition, measures must be taken against the courtiers who are close to the crown prince, either closely monitored or imprisoned in advance, just in case!"

"Finally, the prince has secretly corresponded with countless courtiers in the past two years, and the net of his use of the prince's identity is probably beyond imagination. Therefore, the minister thinks that he should let the wind out to the courtiers, and say that the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fake, so as not to use the identity of the prince to ascend to the throne and respond in groups, and the trouble will not end! ”

Hearing Xu Guanxiong's last words, Tong Fengjiao's face changed.

Although all the signs now point to the worst-case scenario, it is not 100% certain. In case there is another reason for this, if the prince is true, then once this rumor spreads, doesn't it mean that the prince will have no chance to be on the throne from now on?

Therefore, Tong Fengjiao immediately spoke: "The wind should not be let go lightly, this can easily cause large-scale panic!" ”

Xu Guanxiong glanced at Tong Fengjiao, frowned slightly, and said: "Emperor, compared with the terrifying consequences that may be caused, the minister thinks that a little panic is still acceptable. Moreover, the emperor and queen, with all due respect, said bluntly, the most dangerous force now is probably the worship courtyard of Tong'e Mountain......"

Tong Fengjiao gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Tong Eshan, the palace will contact immediately to ensure that they don't get out of control!" ”

Xu Guanxiong opened his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he finally bowed his head and stopped insisting.

Gu Haoran glanced at the two of them, and was about to say something when a voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the deputy head of the Barbarian Division asks to see you."

"Xuan."

"Yes!"

Before long, a sturdy man strode in.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Spy has reported that a large number of troops from the Eastern Wilderness Department have left the camp and are heading west!"

"In addition, Zhendong General Qi Hongyuan is still missing, and his million-strong army is currently under the command of Deputy Marshal Shao Zhen!"

Hearing these two pieces of information, the faces of everyone in the hall instantly became extremely ugly.

If there were doubts before, it is 100% now!

The Eastern Wilderness waited for Shen Tu Moxiong, this is a blatant rebellion!

And that Shao Zhen is one of the main figures that the prince has won over in the past two years, which also means that Qi Hongyuan is very likely to have encountered a poisonous hand, and it also means that the million imperial army has become the enemy's strength!
