Chapter 532 Don’t Be a Cannon Fodder Valley Master 12
"At this point, is there anything you can't say, Dad?"
"If you don't tell me, Your Majesty won't be able to get the answer from other people? Then you and I will still die. Since we are all going to die, can you let me die with a clear conscience?"
Ye Qing'an had always believed that it was Yun Yi and the people behind him who framed their Ye family, causing them and their son to be imprisoned today.
But looking at his father's current expression, it is clear that he knows the inside story.
It is even possible that the poison in the emperor's body was caused by his father.
If it was really Ye Jin who did it, even if Ye Jin said nothing, they, father and son, would still not be able to escape death. He didn't want to die in vain.
"Qing'an, Dad is sorry for you and the ancestors of the Ye family..."
Ye Jin slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at Ye Qing'an with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I was the one who poisoned you."
Ye Jin's words completely confirmed Ye Qing'an's guess.
My brain suddenly shut down, and then a series of questions popped up in my mind.
Why did Ye Jin do this? How did he get the unique poison in Southern Xinjiang?
Also, Ye Jin has been guarding the southern border for many years. Since he was able to obtain the unique poison of southern Xinjiang, he might have had some dealings with other people in southern Xinjiang.
Is Ye Jin not as loyal to the emperor as he thinks?
"father?"
Ye Jin certainly knew that this news was extremely surprising to Ye Qing'an.
He was too naive before, thinking that if the Emperor of Nanchu did not find the connection between the Ye family and Southern Xinjiang, he would definitely spare Ye Qing'an's life and continue to track the clues.
Have you forgotten that the Emperor of Nanchu has been on the throne for more than ten years? How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed?
For a king, being poisoned by his subjects is already an extremely shameful thing. How can he allow those who want to murder him to continue to stay in the world?
Ye Qingan was right. The process of him getting the 'Confusing Heart' was through several levels of progression, not just taking it directly.
He can remain silent, but once others are interrogated, there is no guarantee that they will not confess.
If you think about it carefully, his previous insistence was totally unreasonable, and could even be considered stupid.
"That was nineteen years ago. I had just turned twenty years old. Because of my bravery on the battlefield, I was promoted from a small soldier to a centurion. I tasted the sweetness of promotion for military merit, and every time I went to the battlefield, I became more and more ferocious."
"But I am still a human being. During a sneak attack, I was bitten by a poisonous insect from southern Xinjiang. I ran out of energy and fell off a cliff."
"I thought I was going to die, but there was a pool of water under the cliff. It was summer, and the water was cool but not freezing. I didn't fall to death or freeze to death, and waited for a girl from southern Xinjiang to rescue me..."
-
"After that, Ye Jin developed feelings for the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, and stole the antidote from her to control poisonous insects. This made the Southern Chu army no longer afraid of poisonous insects, allowing them to successfully attack and win a great victory."
"In short, this is a story of ingratitude and repaying kindness with enmity."
"But the Saint of Southern Xinjiang was not a pushover either. After giving birth to the child, she sent it directly to Ye Jin. Except for those close to her, the people of Southern Xinjiang did not know that she had such a relationship with Ye Jin, nor did they know that she had given birth to a child."
Su Lin talked about those secrets with great interest, "Three years ago, the Emperor of Southern Chu intended to let Ye Jin break through the defense of Southern Xinjiang and completely take over Southern Xinjiang as the territory of Southern Chu. After Ye Jin got the news, he passed the news to the Saint of Southern Xinjiang."
"Then the Southern Border Saint asked Ye Jin to 'confuse the mind' of the Southern Chu Emperor?" Yun Yuewei suddenly realized, "After being poisoned, the Southern Chu Emperor became irritable and moody. When Ye Jin talks about the inappropriateness of attacking Southern Border, everyone in the court will think that the Southern Chu Emperor attacked Southern Border because he liked killing, and naturally they will try to dissuade him."
Su Lin nodded in agreement, "Miss Yun is really smart, that's right."
"Three years ago, I also heard about the news that the Emperor of Southern Chu also attacked Southern Xinjiang. At that time, I thought that while all his attention was on Southern Xinjiang, Beichen would do something. I didn't expect that the Emperor of Southern Chu was persuaded to give up, and Beichen's affairs were not carried out."
Su Lin was puzzled by the Nanchu Emperor's frequent changes in orders, so he sent people to investigate.
It took more than half a year to learn the secret from an old servant who had served the saint twenty years ago.
One is Nanchu, the other is Nanjiang, and they have nothing to do with Beichen.
Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know.
This time, Yun Yi went to treat the Emperor of Nanchu and uncovered the truth about his poisoning. In this way, Nanchu lost a general who was capable of fighting, which was a happy thing for him and Beichen.
If the Emperor of Southern Chu declared war on Southern Xinjiang, his plan from three years ago could be implemented.
While Nanchu was dealing with Nanjiang, Beichen tried to move little by little.
"In your opinion, how is the health of the Emperor of Nanchu? The 'confusing mind' that has been in his body for three years has had any effect on him? If he devotes all his energy to handling government affairs all day long, is there a possibility that he will die suddenly?" Su Lin looked at Yun Yi and asked.
Yun Yi had just treated the Emperor of Nanchu and should be the one who knew his physical condition best.
The emperor's sudden death and the transition of power were the most turbulent periods in the court and the most unstable public opinion.
If the Emperor of Nanchu died at this time, it would truly be God’s help to Beichen.
"Royal brother, you are not the only one who wants Emperor Nanchu to die." Yun Yi said with a smile.
Not just him?
Is there still Southern Xinjiang?
If the Saint of Southern Xinjiang knew that Ye Jin was arrested and imprisoned, she would definitely know that her plan had been exposed.
Three years ago, the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang threatened Ye Jin with their past and asked him to poison the Emperor of Southern Chu. In order to preserve his honor as a general, Ye Jin had no choice but to do so.
At the same time, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang also knew that if the Emperor of Southern Chu found out, he would be furious and declare war on Southern Xinjiang. How could she not leave a backup plan for herself?
"When I was detoxifying the Emperor of Nanchu, I discovered that in addition to the 'Confused Heart', there was also a dormant Gu worm in his body. His life is in the hands of the Saint of Southern Frontier."
Su Lin was immediately delighted when he heard this. Now that the situation has become like this, he has to plan carefully on how to reap the benefits.
Su Lin immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter. After Yun Yi had dinner with the Queen Mother, he did not return to the Prince Heng's Mansion that Su Lin had arranged for him, but went to the Heavenly Prison.
In order to find out the source of the amulet, Su Lin had Jiang Qingwan tortured.
It was just a punishment of pinching fingers, but for Jiang Qingwan, who had lived a life of luxury since childhood, it was already a severe pain.
Because he did not receive timely treatment, his fingers became swollen and inflamed, and he had a high fever.
But in the prison, the jailer would only deliver one meal a day and would not pay any attention to her illness, let alone find a doctor for her.
After being drowsy for several days, Jiang Qingwan felt that her high fever had subsided a little.
But my mind was still fuzzy, and even my eyesight was a little blurry.
She was clearly in Beichen's prison at the moment, so how could she see Yun Yi?
