Sun Yan said with a serious face, "Whether it's true or not, we have to prepare early. If it's false, it's fine, but if it's true … "
Feng Zhiyao's face was grave. He frowned and said, "I think this news is very likely to be true, but the Shadow Guard didn't receive any news at all."
Ye Li said indifferently, "You forgot that there's a person who can be said to be a top expert in intelligence. And now, he's in West-Hill. "
"Han Mingyue!" Feng Zhiyao exclaimed.
Ye Li nodded slightly. "Although the Tianyi Pavilion's influence in Da Chu State has been reorganized by Han Mingxi, don't forget that Han Mingyue is the real master of the Tianyi Pavilion. Moreover, the Tianyi Pavilion is spread across all countries. Only Da Chu State is damaged. Han Mingyue was once a good friend of the Prince. He's the person who knows the Prince Ding Mansion the best in the world. Even if he's not the first, he's definitely in the top three. "Feng Zhiyao nodded and said," I'll send someone to investigate immediately! "Sun Yan asked," My Lady, what should we do now? " Ye Li lowered her eyebrows and pondered for a moment. She said, "Send someone to inform the Prince immediately. Also … send word to the Mohist army stationed near the border of West-Hill to be ready to support the border at any time." Sun Yan said with some difficulty, "In the past few years, the Mohist army's encampment has been shrinking again and again. Now, the Mohist army's encampment is at least five or six days away from the border of West-Hill. Including the time it takes for us to send the message, I'm afraid …" Ye Li raised her hand and said, "Whether it's in time or not, it's too late to stop the Xiling Army's advance." Sun Yan nodded and said, "I understand. I'll immediately send a message to the Mohist army. Please rest assured, my Lady. As long as the Mohist army has a single soldier, the Mohist army won't be able to cross the defense line of the West-Hill army. "Ye Li nodded and said softly," Thank you, General Sun. This consort will enter the palace to see the Emperor. "
"Princess, I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Feng Zhiyao frowned. Ever since they caught Mu Qingcang, although they didn't say it clearly, everyone knew who had tried to massacre the Prince Ding Mansion.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Even if that person in the palace dares to make a move against me, he may not have the ability to keep me here. " Feng Zhiyao thought about the mysterious troops and his heart calmed down a little. He said, "Wang Fei knows what to do." Ye Li stood up and put down the file in her hands. She said, "Go and do your work. In addition, the mansion will continue to be on full alert. "
"Yes."
Imperial Palace
In the imperial study, Mo Jingqi dismissed Marquis Muyang who had hurried over to seek an audience. His face was gloomy and uncertain as he stared at the memorial in front of him, the look in his eyes changing unpredictably.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Ding requests an audience." The eunuch outside the door reported. Mo Jingqi frowned. "Princess Ding? Why did she come back? " Thinking about a few days ago at dawn, the blood-covered ground of the Ding Mansion and the white-clothed woman standing gracefully on the steps, Mo Jingqi's heart always felt a sense of loss and regret. He had personally appointed this woman to Mo Xiuyao in order to humiliate him. But now, this woman had become another pillar of support for the Ding Mansion and Mo Xiuyao's biggest support. At the same time, she had become a target that he had to eliminate. With Ye Li's intelligence, since she had already found the Marquis Muyang's residence, Mo Jingqi didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to guess the truth. But why did she dare to enter the palace now?
"Let her in."
Not long after, the door was pushed open again. Ye Li walked in wearing the Princess Ding Mansion's silver-white ceremonial dress with a dark silver luan and phoenix pattern. This was almost the first time that Ye Li had worn the Princess Ding Mansion's ceremonial dress. It was different from the elegant and graceful feeling that she usually gave people. The silver-white colour made her seem cold and unapproachable like ice. Ye Li walked to the middle of the hall and bowed. "Ye Li greets the Emperor."
Mo Jingqi sized up Ye Li. After a long time, he finally spoke. "Speaking of this, zhen has never heard of Princess Ding calling herself."
Ye Li pursed her lips and gave a faint smile. "Ye Li is Ye Li." Of course, she knew that in front of the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager, all the women with official titles referred to themselves as Chenqie. But she didn't like this title. In the past, the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager had never mentioned it. Other people naturally didn't dare to find fault with her on such a small matter and ignored it. She didn't think that Mo Jingqi would ask this today.
Mo Jingqi's eyes flashed and he quickly smiled. "Ye Li is Ye Li. Then in Princess Ding's heart, is she not a subject of the Da Chu State?"
Ye Li raised her head and looked directly at Mo Jingqi without avoiding his gaze. She slowly said, "The Ding Mansion has protected the Da Chu State for generations and has done their best. Ye Li is the Princess Ding Mansion, how could she have such a rebellious heart? "
Mo Jingqi looked at her playfully and said with a smile, "Oh? Wang fei's meaning is that the Ding Mansion will never have a rebellious heart? "
Looking at Mo Jingqi's probing gaze, Ye Li laughed coldly in her heart. She said firmly, "The Ding Mansion will never do anything to betray the Da Chu State?"
Hearing this, Mo Jingqi was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Alright, zhen believes Princess Ding's words. Why has Princess Ding come to the palace today?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "There is indeed a very important matter to report to Your Majesty."
Mo Jingqi nodded. "Princess Ding, please speak."
Ye Li said softly, "Ye Li has just received news that Xi Ling will send troops to the Da Chu State on the fifteenth of the eighth month. Asking Your Majesty to make early preparations."
Mo Jingqi paused and laughed after a long time. He looked at Ye Li and said, "Princess Ding, isn't this news too sudden? From what zhen knows, Xi Ling's main goal is to deal with the Northern Tribes and not the Da Chu State. Who did Wang fei hear this news from? "
Ye Li pursed her lips and frowned slightly. "I hope that Your Majesty can send troops to support as soon as possible, just in case."
"Zhen will not send troops just because of Wang fei's words, unless Wang fei can prove the authenticity of this news."
Ye Li frowned and said mildly, "Mu Qingcang."
Hearing this, Mo Jingqi's expression changed a few times. It took him a while to calm down. He stared at the woman standing calmly in front of him with a complicated expression. For a moment, he could not understand why Ye Li would so easily reveal her trump card. He didn't believe that the Ding Royal Residence wanted to fall out with him now. Not to mention that Mo Xiuyao was not here now, even if Mo Xiuyao was in the capital, the Ding Royal Residence would not suddenly do anything that was disadvantageous to Great Chu. However, if Ye Li truly wanted to provide some military intelligence, then she would not have openly revealed Mu Qingcang's matter. The Ding King's Residence had many sources of information. How could they not find a suitable excuse?
After a long time, Mo Jingqi said mildly, "Zhen understands what Princess Ding is saying."
Ye Li raised her head to look at the man on the dragon throne and frowned slightly. Mo Jingqi did not give her a chance to speak. He stood up and waved his hand. "Zhen understands this matter. Princess Ding, you can go back first."
Ye Li sighed softly in her heart. She bowed slightly and said, "Ye Li will take her leave."
After leaving the Imperial Study, Ye Li was about to leave the palace and return to her residence when she was stopped. Two familiar palace maids stood in front of Ye Li and said, "Wang fei, Noble Consort invites you." Ye Li thought for a moment and remembered that these two palace maids were Noble Consort Liu's personal palace maids. Recalling what she heard in the peach forest and the strange look Noble Consort Liu gave her every time she looked at her, Ye Li could not help but take a look. She said mildly, "This Consort has something to do. Please apologize to Noble Consort Liu on behalf of this Consort." When the two palace maids heard this, they looked at each other but did not move aside. They insisted: "Wang Fei, please forgive us. Gui Fei niangniang has something important to discuss with Wang Fei."
