Chapter 236 News leaked
Tang Yuwei did not convince King Zi'an, but the agreement came at the cost of taking Yangyang away from Rong State and never returning, which was not something he could agree to on Yangyang's behalf.
As she hurried back to Yangyue Restaurant, Jiang Chi stopped her anxiously, "General, something happened to the Beijing Guards!"
"what's up?"
"The entire Duan family was detained by His Highness Xuan Yi for treason!"
"what?"
Jiang Chi sighed as he made his decision, "Miss Xue's identity as the Princess of Rong was revealed by the Crown Princess!"
"It just happened at this time." Tang Yuwei thought that he had a chance to take Yangyang back, but something unexpected happened. "I'm afraid that what Yuwenbo did has been discovered by Xuanyi. I'm afraid he can't care about so much now!"
Jiang Chi thought for a while, "General, do you mean that the young marquis wants to rebel now?"
"That depends on what Xuanyi does next after taking the Duan family into custody." This is not what Tang Yuwei wants to see at the moment. "But now if there is any movement in the country, we have to rush back to Sand City quickly, and we won't be able to take care of Rong Country."
When something happens to the Duan family, the Crown Princess becomes the executioner, and the Crown Prince is bound to be implicated as well.
If he is His Royal Highness Xuanyi, then the next step is to immediately recall the Crown Prince and hold the Crown Prince accountable!
"Quickly write a letter to the prince and tell him not to act rashly. We will rush back immediately!" After instructing Jiang Chi, Tang Yuwei quickly jumped on his horse and headed towards Yangyue Restaurant.
Yuwen Bo already had people from Qingshang Pavilion lurking in the Jingwei, and the news that all the people in Wanhua Tower were arrested and the people in Duan Mansion were also detained soon reached his ears, "Why at this time!" Yuwen Bo crushed the information in his hand.
Xue Qingqing held a cup of tea from behind and handed it to Yuwen Bo in a coquettish manner, "Young Marquis, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
"Why?" Yuwen Bo gritted his teeth, pressed his knuckles until they made crackling sounds, and with a backhand stroke, he threw Xue Qingqing to the ground along with the quilt.
Xue Qingqing was hit so hard that blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She looked up at Yuwen Bo who was gradually approaching her. Seeing his murderous eyes, she was so scared that she kept crawling backwards until she was against the corner of the wall and couldn't move.
Seeing her fear, Yuwen Bo became even more wanton. He squatted down and grabbed Xue Qingqing's neck. Seeing her face flushed and veins exposed, he said, "This prince asks you, how did the Crown Princess know about Princess Tao Le's current condition?"
Apart from Xue Qingqing, anyone who knew about this would never tell the Crown Princess! Yu Wenbo realized this the moment he received the letter - the person who could leak the news must be Xue Qingqing!
"Young Marquis, cough cough!" Xue Qingqing was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, "Young Marquis!"
Yuwen Bo said coldly, "This prince has told you to behave yourself. Otherwise, your life will be no different from others in my eyes!"
"Xiao Hou..., cough, cough, cough!"
Just when Xue Qingqing's life was in danger, the door was kicked open, and Tang Yuwei said sternly, "Now, you still have the mind to care about who leaked the news, it's simply putting the cart before the horse!"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Bo's brows relaxed from his rage. He loosened his grip slightly, and Xue Qingqing collapsed to the ground.
He stood up, brushed off his wrinkled clothes, and turned to look at Tang Yuwei, "General Tang, so you are here in Aiguan too?"
Tang Yuwei had come before without informing others, but Yuwen Bo was not surprised at all. "General Tang, are you here to help this prince?"
Now that the Duan family has been detained, given His Highness Xuanyi's character, the next thing he will do is to target the Marquis of Changguo. However, now is not the best time for him to rebel.
Moreover, Tang Yuwei was also tasked with finding evidence of Xuan Yi's collusion with the enemy, and certainly did not want to cause domestic turmoil in Dapu.
Both of them had their own thoughts, and the temporary alliance was instantly formed when their eyes met.
Tang Yuwei said, "Young Marquis, I have something I want to cooperate with you on! I think you will be interested!"
"Of course!" Yuwen Bo smiled, sat down at the eight-treasure table, and analyzed with his eyes, "General Tang wants this prince to meet King Rong in the name of an envoy?"
"But Princess Tao Le is still with Prince Zi'an. If we go to Prince Rong, we will be courting death!"
Tang Yuwei said calmly, "Princess Tao Le will try to find a way, but you, young marquis, can first send a letter to the palace and negotiate a few things!"
"Zhou Xuan? Hahaha!" Yuwen Bo sneered, "General Tang is putting my life on the line in the Rong Palace. Am I so easily fooled?"
"Young Marquis, you are joking. As long as you follow what I say, you will be safe. It depends on whether you dare to try it!"
"Try?" Yuwen Bo hesitated for a moment, but no matter what he chose, he was not sure of winning. "Okay! Tell me!"
"The reputation of Prince Rong's brutality has long been known, and the former queen was deposed because of it. But legend has it that all this stems from one person..." Tang Yuwei detailed the information he had obtained from Prince Zi'an and the information he had obtained in the past few days.
Yuwen Bo listened carefully and asked, "Delay King Rong! Then what?" He did not fully believe in Tang Yuwei, after all, the purpose had not been stated yet!
"Since Prince Zi'an came to power, his reputation for brutality has spread, and no one has ever actually seen Prince Rong since then..." Tang Yuwei hesitated, "You Qingshang Pavilion are not completely unaware of the news. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, but you must be the one who knows Prince Rong best among us, so I'm sure you have a way to find out something!"
It was the first time that Yuwen Bo heard Tang Yuwei's praise, and he felt a little proud. "To be honest, I know more about the news that King Rong wants than you do." Yuwen Bo was still on guard against Tang's tricks, "But it's just a little bit. You can only judge it after you actually see it!"
"But as for Princess Tao Le, can you really take her out from Prince Zi'an?"
"Don't worry about this, I will let General Jia guard and assist!" King Zi'an had only agreed to help with the investigation and release Yangyang to take him away from Rong State, but this was just a temporary measure.
"Well then! I will trust you just once!"
