Chapter 307 By any means necessary
"Mom, this letter..."
Ye Xinran couldn't help but speak out.
Leng Qingyu saw her expression and realized something was wrong. He asked Lu Zhiyi, "If I hand this letter over now, would you be willing to come forward to testify?"
"As long as I'm still alive." Lu Zhiyi said gritting his teeth.
"Okay, then you take a rest first, I'll go find a solution now."
As she said that, she stood up and walked out, and Ye Xinran immediately followed.
Back in the room, Leng Qingyu opened the letter, and the two of them sat together and started reading.
The content of the letter is very simple.
It was an expression of gratitude to the Third Prince Chen Yuantai, for intercepting the grain dispatched from the Northern Frontier. It also explained that the Kosi tribe was facing difficulties, and a master suddenly appeared beside Qi Lianzhong, catching them off guard.
I hope the Third Prince can find a way to transfer this person away, so that it will be easier for them to cross Xixia Mountain.
After putting down the letter, Leng Qingyu and Ye Xinran looked at each other, both speechless.
The military rations were robbed only two months ago, which coincides with the rumors Ye Xinran heard at the time.
At the beginning, even King Rui said that this matter was the work of the Kosi tribe. No one expected that the person who actually did it was sitting firmly in the capital.
"Mother, the Third Prince is treasonous and commits treason, a capital crime!"
Ye Xinran finally spoke.
Leng Qingyu nodded.
"If this is true, then the Third Prince is really too bold! I don't quite believe it now. I'm afraid this is a trap set by Lu Zhiyi for us.
If you slander the prince, your entire clan will be exterminated!"
Ye Xinran also calmed down.
My mother's worries are not without reason.
The third prince is also a member of the royal family. What benefit will it bring to him if he betrays the country?
But the details in the letter made Ye Xinran believe that this matter was true.
A man who could lead troops to fight suddenly appeared beside the general at the northern border, which coincided with the time when Xiao Huaian set out.
The military rations were robbed, and talented people suddenly appeared in the northern border. These two conditions alone were enough to make Ye Xinran believe it without a doubt.
"Mother, I believe it is true. Can you give me the letter? I want to report this to King Rui."
"This...although this matter is big, it has nothing to do with our Qinwang Palace. Will Prince Rui think too much and think that we have other intentions?" Leng Qingyu was still a little hesitant.
Ye Xinran had already made up her mind.
"No matter how much King Rui thinks about it, I will give it a try. If this is true, I am afraid that King Rui's military expedition will not go smoothly this time."
Looking at Ye Xinran's determined eyes, Leng Qingyu finally compromised.
"Okay, then you go and let Ding Qiao accompany you."
That night, a guest suddenly visited Prince Rui's palace.
A carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. After the doorman confirmed the identity of the visitor, he let the person in immediately without reporting.
Ye Xinran and Ding Qiao were waiting in the study. After a while, Prince Rui appeared in front of them, neatly dressed.
"Your late night visit disturbs King Rui's rest."
Ye Xinran bowed and apologized first.
King Rui waved his hand.
"Didn't I tell you before that you can come to the Rui Palace whenever you want in the future? You don't have to be polite.
It’s just that Miss Lu came to visit late at night, but what’s the urgent matter? Could it be that Yan’er…”
"It's not the prince's business." Ye Xinran said, "The prince has been stable these days and may wake up at any time. I came to visit late at night for another matter."
As she spoke, she took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to King Rui.
Prince Rui unfolded the letter and his brows furrowed more and more as he read.
At the end, he suddenly slammed the letter on the table and said angrily: "Shameless boy, how dare you do such a despicable thing!"
"Does King Rui believe that this letter is true?"
Ye Xinran asked tentatively.
King Rui did not answer, but asked: "Where did you get this letter?"
"Lu Zhiyi took it out." Ye Xinran told the truth, "She said it was the amulet that Lu Tingen gave her."
King Rui pondered for a long time, and finally spoke, "I know that they have been trying to win over their own forces behind the scenes in order to fight for power. As long as they don't go too far, I have always turned a blind eye. I didn't expect the third brother to be so unscrupulous!"
"This letter is real!"
Ye Xinran was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, they really caught the third prince's handle this time.
"Ah."
King Rui nodded.
"The content of this letter is completely consistent with what happened in the northern border before. The wax on the envelope is a unique symbol of the Kosi tribe. Moreover,"
He paused and said, "I have seen Suglu's handwriting once a few years ago. It is exactly the same as the one in this letter."
"Then what do we do now?"
After being happy, Ye Xinran started to get nervous again.
Before, they only thought about dealing with foreign enemies, but now their own backyard is on fire and they are colluding with foreign enemies.
Even if it wasn't for Xiao Huaian, Ye Xinran would still be worried about Prince Rui.
King Rui looked at her nervous expression, relaxed his brows and chuckled softly.
"Looking at your expression, it seems like I'm asking you to go to the battlefield."
"I was planning to go originally! I hope King Rui can take me with him!" Ye Xinran never gave up fighting for an opportunity for herself.
"But the enemy is so vicious, they are working together from inside and outside, I am afraid something bad will happen again halfway through this time."
Upon hearing this, King Rui snorted coldly.
"Since the death of the crown prince, the third brother has been keeping a low profile. But I know that he has never given up the idea of seizing the throne.
Since he has revealed his true colors this time, we can take this opportunity to uproot the chess pieces he had planted before.
In this way, you have accomplished a great feat.”
"Will the emperor protect him? After all, he is his biological son."
Ye Xinran was a little worried.
Prince Rui looked into the distance and said, "Being born in an imperial family, I have long been trained to be decisive in killing. If the emperor really cared about the relationship between father and son, he would not have made such a big mistake back then."
As he said this, he retracted his gaze and said to Ye Xinran, "There is no time to lose. I plan to report this matter to the emperor after the morning court tomorrow. You should also get ready and wait for the summons from the palace.
And your sister, since the evidence came from her, the emperor will definitely ask about some details. Will she suddenly regret it when the time comes?"
"No!" Ye Xinran shook her head.
"Since she was able to take out this letter, it means she is determined to fight to the death. I will take care of her affairs."
