Chapter 238 Tell the secret
She only trusts her own judgment.
The entire Duan family has been detained in the imperial prison. Xuanyi doesn't care about other people's lives. The only person she cares about is Master Duan.
The two men sat at opposite ends of the interrogation room. It seemed like a peaceful conversation, but in fact, the sound of painful wails continued to come from the torture room next door.
Yuwen Yuehua pretended to be sad and stared at the gray-haired Grand Tutor Duan opposite her, "Grand Tutor, although your Duan family has more than a hundred people, listen, how long can a person endure such a punishment?"
Master Duan had his eyes closed, unmoved by the wailing. Yuwen Yuehua raised her voice and said,
"I don't mean to embarrass your Duan family. I just want to set things right. What's so good about that old woman that you should be so silent about it?"
Everyone knows that Duan Taifu is loyal to the court.
He can say that, but if he talks about the court or the right and wrong of the current government, he will never tolerate it. "Your Highness, please be careful with your words!"
"Be careful with your words?" Yu Wen Yuehua seemed to have found his weakness and continued the topic, "Grandmaster, you are really old. Open your eyes and take a look. The civil strife and famine in the current Dapu Kingdom are all old problems. Can't you see that? Do you want to watch Dapu's decline worsen? Is the Queen Mother really worthy of your protection?"
Master Duan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Yuwen Yuehua, "Your Highness, are you teaching me to meddle in government?"
Yu Wen Yuehua's lips curled up slightly, "I didn't say that, I was just discussing the matter."
Master Duan took a deep breath, "I have been an official in the court for many years, so I am naturally aware of the current situation in the court. But the Queen Mother has served the country and the people, so she is naturally worthy of my protection! As the acting governor, Your Highness must also take Your Majesty's ideas as his own responsibility!"
Seeing that Grand Tutor Duan was too stubborn, Yuwen Yuehua slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "I don't want to waste my breath with you anymore. If you hand over the evidence, I can save your life!" Her eyes turned cold, "Grand Tutor, don't be stubborn anymore, otherwise... don't blame me for being cruel!"
Master Duan turned his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yuwen Yuehua knew that it was useless to say more, so she said, "I don't believe you can keep your stubbornness going! Your granddaughter Xue Yangyang is actually the princess of Rong State! It seems that you want her to die in Rong State?"
"Okay, I can find out even if you don't tell me. It's just a matter of time. But that little girl is pitiful!" After hearing what Yu Wen Yuehua said, Master Duan finally reacted and his face turned pale.
Yuwen Yuehua saw the clues, "Grandmaster knows, why did your Jia go to Rong country, and why did she come back with you? Do you really think that girl will be safe in Rong country?"
How could Taifu Duan not remember that the Rong State forced the two countries to sign unequal terms. In order to protect Princess Xuanyi from marrying out of her husband's family, the Queen Mother sent her granddaughter Jia to take her place in order to capture and induce the arrogant Rong State.
Yes, in the end she succeeded. The government of Rong State was disintegrated from within, and all the meritorious officials were removed or killed!
Jia was supposed to die in Rong State, but he thought of his daughter's last wish and took Jia back again.
But the cycle of history is so helpless. Not long after, Jia died in Jingwei. He knew that it was the Queen Mother who sent people to poison him in order to keep the secret forever.
Until Yangyang grew up and reached the age where she could decide her own destiny...
Master Duan blamed himself very much. He had wanted the Crown Princess to kill Yangyang several times before, but now that he thought about it, it was all his fault. "Even if you get it, so what? The Great Pu Kingdom is already terminally ill." He stared at Yuwen Yuehua, his eyes full of anger and self-mockery, "Don't hurt her again!"
The Duan family owed her and her mother too much, and the Queen Mother also owed her and her mother too much. It seemed as if all this was cause and effect.
"As long as you hand over the evidence, I will not harm her." Yuwen Yuehua sneered, "But Master Duan is really partial. The lives of your entire family are not as important as a little girl!"
Master Duan gritted his teeth and sighed with a sneer, "Okay, I'll tell you. The evidence does exist, but it's not a letter but two strings of phoenix eye bodhi!"
Yu Wen Yuehua was delighted, "Phoenix Eye Bodhi?"
Master Duan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "One string is in the child's hand, and the other string was given to the eldest princess by the Queen Mother!"
"Humph!" Yu Wen Yuehua's eyes were solemn, "Was everything you said at the end true?"
Upon receiving the news, Yu Wen Yuehua quickly sent out two groups of people, one group went to search the Princess's Mansion, and the other group rushed to Yuzhou.
The bodhi string in the eldest princess's hand must be from her mansion, because Tang Yuwei has never lived there for many years and he probably doesn't know about the bodhi string.
But the string in Xue Yangyang's hand is really hard to get now, but Yuzhou is going there anyway, so why not use the excuse of threatening Yuzhou Changguo Hou to let Yuwenbo, who is far away in Rongguo, take the string back from Xue Yangyang! Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Although Yangyang was escorted by Prince Zi'an all the way, from the moment she stepped into the capital of Rong State, she found that every eye that looked at her was full of murderous intent.
It’s time to dine at the restaurant.
Yangyang asked Prince Zi'an about her guess, "Your Majesty, why do they all look at me like that?"
Prince Zi'an met those gazes and saw that they all avoided his gazes. He looked at Yangyang, "Your mother, Concubine An, lured King Rong and caused many officials of Rong to be either exterminated or dismissed and replaced, causing the entire capital to suffer. So many years have passed, but the people in the capital are probably still remembering it!"
"My mother?" Yangyang thought of what Queen Ryan said, which seemed to coincide with the behavior of these people in the capital.
But General Jia didn't say a word along the way. Why did King Rong ask General Jia to pick him up?
"Princess, do you have many questions?"
"Yes, but if I ask, will the prince tell the truth?" Yangyang didn't know who to believe, so she naturally didn't dare to inquire easily!
Prince Zi'an said with a righteous attitude, "Princess, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
"According to what the prince said, Rong Country may not welcome my return, but why is the prince willing to help me? Why did the king of Rong take me back to Rong Country at this time?"
