the other side.
After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Wei Yanyan did not return to her and Ye Chunan's home.
She quietly arrived at the side door of Prince Qi's mansion.
The gatekeeper glanced at her with disdain: "You want to seduce the prince dressed like this? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Get lost! Our Qi Wang Mansion is not a place where any slut can enter!"
Wei Yanyan's face turned red.
She was the most famous courtesan in Jiangnan, the confidante of countless men. Even those who didn't know her would be captivated by her beauty. But now, in the eyes of others, she was just a wild chicken.
Thinking of this, Wei Yanyan was filled with hatred.
It’s all Ye Chunan’s fault!
If it weren't for this man, would she have become so miserable?
She will definitely make His Highness punish that idiot and the entire General's Mansion!
Wei Yanyan took out a token from her bosom and gritted her teeth: "Look carefully!"
"The royal palace token?"
The gatekeeper recognized it as the token from Prince Qi's mansion. She looked at Wei Yanyan in surprise, then reluctantly stepped aside and said, "Go in."
Only then did Wei Yanyan enter the Prince of Qi's mansion.
In the study of Prince Qi's mansion, Prince Qi Ying Zhu was handing a letter to his staff for circulation.
"Please read this letter."
"This is……"
The King of Qi said, "This was just sent by Yan Junyuan."
"Minister Yan?"
Seeing the serious expression on King Qi's face, the staff gathered together to look at the letter, and were shocked after reading it.
"What? Yan Qing is Chu Tianhe's daughter!"
The three words "Chu Tianhe" were like a thunderclap, striking everyone present.
The staff were shocked!
Chu Tianhe, he was the king of Chu State in Western Zhou Dynasty!
The Western Zhou Dynasty was a big country like Dayong, and even richer than Dayong. The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty were tough and all of them were good at riding and shooting. The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty was even more ambitious and annexed dozens of surrounding small vassal states in his early years.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a large river spanning several cities between them and Dayong, and if the Western Zhou army was not good at water, they would have declared war on Dayong long ago.
For many years, the Western Zhou Dynasty and Dayong had been in a state of non-interference, and the people of the two countries rarely interacted with each other.
Now Yan Junyuan actually said that the legitimate daughter of the Yan family is the daughter of the King of Chu?
Isn’t that the Princess of Chu!
The staff member said: "Your Highness, this news... is it true..."
King Qi rubbed his forehead and asked, "How should I know?"
This news was sent by Yan Junyuan. Yan Qing was originally Yan Junyuan's legitimate daughter. Yan Junyuan suddenly said that his legitimate daughter was not his own, but someone else's? Or the King of Chu's?
How ridiculous is this?
The King of Qi narrowed his eyes. When he saw the news, he was even more confused than his staff.
but……
"If Yan Qing is not Yan Junyuan's daughter, then was Ye Xiruo married with pregnancy in mind?"
"Yan Junyuan knew that Ye Xiruo had another man's child, but he still married her? Why?"
"Of course it's for the General's Mansion!"
"Back then, Yan Junyuan was just a minor champion, and Kyoto was not short of champions. It was not uncommon for people to become fathers for the sake of their future."
The staff were talking about it.
Finally, someone stood up and said, "Your Highness, whether this news is true or not, it is good news for us."
The King of Qi looked at the man.
The man stroked his goatee and spoke with half-closed eyes, "Hasn't Your Highness always wanted to deal with the General's Mansion? This Second Miss Yan might be the starting point..."
The others nodded immediately after hearing this.
"That's right. If it's confirmed that Yan Qing is Chu Tianhe's bloodline, then Ye Xiruo is involved with Chu Tianhe. Wouldn't Ye Zhennan know about this?"
"The Ye family commands 300,000 Ye family soldiers. If they are bribed by Chu Tianhe, our Great Yong will be in danger!"
"Your Highness! This is a big deal!"
The staff were very excited. They had tried so many ways to deal with the old man Ye Zhennan but failed. They didn't expect that his daughter had an affair with Xi Zhou!
This is a big handle!
The King of Qi was also somewhat tempted.
Over the years, he has been trying to win over Ye Zhennan, but the old man is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and refuses to stand by him.
Originally, only Ying Yuan competed with him for the throne.
As the Prince of Li, Ying Yuan naturally had the support of aristocratic families. Although his influence was not as great as Ying Chu's, he was the eldest prince. However, Ying Yuan also did not win the favor of the old man Ye Zhennan, so Ying Chu was not too worried.
But it's different now.
Now that Gu Huaizhou has become the fourth prince, and Yan Qing has always been good friends with Gu Huaizhou, Ying Chu feels the crisis.
In order to prevent Ye Zhennan from standing by his fourth brother who suddenly appeared, the General's Mansion must be eliminated as soon as possible!
But there is still a problem here.
The King of Qi looked at his staff and said thoughtfully, "Where is the evidence?"
If we want to prove that Yan Qing is not Yan Junyuan's daughter, Yan Junyuan alone is not enough, unless there is evidence from the Western Zhou Dynasty...
"It's said that King Chu Tianhe of Western Zhou was injured more than ten years ago, and is unable to conceive. If we spread this news to Western Zhou, Chu Tianhe will surely send people to Dayong!"
"That's right, when Yan Qing's identity is confirmed, Ye Zhennan will be finished!"
"The General's Mansion has been able to stand firm because His Majesty trusts Ye Zhennan. If he knew that his daughter had an affair with the King of Western Zhou, he would definitely take away the 300,000 Ye Family Army soldiers in his hands!"
After hearing his advisors' advice, Ying Chu immediately arranged for someone to deliver the news to the Western Zhou Chu State. When Chu Tianhe sent someone to Dayong to investigate, he would then order them to be captured, catching the General's Mansion off guard.
If Xi Zhou's letters are found in the general's mansion again, Ye Zhennan will be guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Then even if the emperor wants to protect him, he won't be able to do so!
As long as the General's Mansion falls, no one in the entire Dayong will be able to check and balance the Wang family, and his father's position will be his.
The King of Qi couldn't help but feel excited.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to arrange Wei Yanyan to be with Ye Chunan. As long as Wei Yanyan can successfully enter the general's mansion, this plan will be perfect!
"Someone is coming."
Thinking of this, King Qi couldn't help but want to find someone to ask about the progress on Wei Yanyan's side.
Finally, the housekeeper came forward with his men and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Wei is looking for you."
"Wei Yanyan?"
When the King of Qi saw the person behind the housekeeper, he was surprised and asked, "How did you become like this?"
