Chapter 242 The Imperial Court is Really in Chaos
When everyone heard the sound, they looked and saw Qin Yu walking out of the mansion. He swept his cold eyes over the group of women and finally fell on Yan Wanwan.
His eyes paused slightly, then he regained his composure.
When the group of women saw Qin Yu appear, they immediately put on a shy look and saluted: "Greetings, General Qin."
Qin Yu didn't even glance at them. She walked straight to Yan Wanwan and asked with some concern in her tone, "Why are you here?"
Yan Wanwan smiled faintly and said in a mocking tone, "Have you had enough of watching the show?"
Qin Yu laughed awkwardly twice and said softly, "Let's talk inside the mansion."
Yan Wanwan snorted coldly and walked in.
When the group of women saw this, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
The woman in the pink dress bit her lip unwillingly and muttered softly, "It's obvious that the general looks down on her, and she's still pretending..."
Qin Yu frowned when he heard this, and glanced at her coldly: "What did you say?"
The woman in the pink dress was frightened by his gaze and quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak again.
Yan Wanwan was too lazy to pay attention to these boring disputes and said to Qin Yu, "Come in and talk. I have something important to tell you."
Qin Yu nodded and stepped aside to make way: "Okay."
The two men walked into the mansion one after the other, leaving the group of women standing there, looking at each other, their faces full of embarrassment and jealousy.
They never expected that Qin Yu's attitude towards her was actually doting, and not the indifference and impatience that the outside world had said. Seeing Yan Wanwan enter the general's mansion without being reprimanded made them even more indignant.
The woman in the pink skirt stamped her feet fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "Hmph, what are you so proud of? Sooner or later, I will let General Qin see your true face!"
However, her harsh words were heard by Yan Wanwan. She suddenly turned around and said to them, "I have already divorced General Qin. If any of you want to join me, don't miss this opportunity."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back, disdainful to continue entangled with them. As for what Qin Yu thought, what did it have to do with her?
As Yan Wanwan expected, Qin Yu's face turned as dark as ink in an instant.
However, he couldn't bear to be angry with her, so he could only turn his anger into cold eyes and sweep them towards the group of noisy women.
The group of women were frightened by his gaze and immediately shut their mouths, lowering their heads and not daring to look him in the eyes, as if they were frozen in place by an invisible chill.
Inside the mansion, Qin Yu took Yan Wanwan through the corridor and came to a secluded courtyard.
The courtyard is filled with plum blossoms. Although not in bloom yet, the lush branches and leaves make it look particularly quiet and peaceful. A gentle breeze brings a hint of coolness, as if isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Qin Yu stopped and turned to look at Yan Wanwan, with a hint of anticipation in his tone: "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Yan Wanwan raised her eyes, her gaze cold and deep, her voice as cold as ice: "The border is about to be in chaos. I believe it won't be long before you have to go to war again."
Qin Yu's heart sank when he heard this, and his originally passionate mood was instantly extinguished like a basin of cold water.
He knew that Yan Wanwan had a special information channel that had never been deviated from the truth. Every word she said was worthy of his careful consideration.
"Now the court is in turmoil, and the border is in chaos. The Great Xia Kingdom is in danger." Qin Yu said thoughtfully with a frown.
He had long sensed the undercurrents surging in the court. The disasters on all sides had not yet eased, and with the new emperor ascending the throne, the signs of national instability became increasingly obvious.
Yan Wanwan glanced at him playfully, a faint smile on her lips: "You can try your previous idea now."
Qin Yu stared at her deeply, a complicated look flashing in his eyes: "You came here to tell me all this, are you still thinking about me? Worried about me?"
Yan Wanwan: “…”
She lowered her stiff fists and said coldly, "General Qin, I'm here just to remind you that our whole family will be heading to the border soon."
Of course, she would not tell him that she made this trip to avoid her nagging father and mother at home and to use this opportunity to have some free time.
Qin Yu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your reminder, I will prepare as soon as possible."
Yan Wanwan said nothing more, turned around and said goodbye. Her figure gradually walked away under the shade of the plum trees, and finally disappeared at the end of the corridor.
After she left, Qin Yu stood there for a long time without moving.
After a moment, he called Ling Ying over, his brows furrowed, his tone a bit tangled: "Ling Ying, what exactly is Madam's intention in coming here this time?"
Ling Ying was a typical love idiot, how could he possibly grasp such delicate emotions? He scratched his head and said doubtfully, "General, is it possible that Madam still has feelings for you? After all, if Madam had no feelings for you, she wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to treat your leg. Women are reserved, after all."
Qin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had grasped something key: "You're right! Then tell me, what should I do now?"
Ling Ying was startled by Qin Yu's sudden enthusiasm and stammered, "General, I think you should take the initiative. Since Madam is willing to remind you, it means she still has you in her heart. You might as well find an opportunity to have a good talk with her. Maybe we can reconcile."
Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "You are right, I can't give up like this."
He turned and looked at the plum tree in the courtyard, as if he could see Yan Wanwan's departing figure through its branches and leaves. He murmured softly, "Yan Wanwan, this time, I won't let you down again."
Two days later, in the early morning, at daybreak, the gate of the Zhennan Palace quietly opened, and several carriages slowly drove out, heading towards the border.
Everyone in the palace acted quickly, and no one noticed that they had left quietly.
No one in the court knew anything about this until the morning court session when someone discovered that the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was already deserted.
But on this day, the court was in chaos.
An imperial censor suddenly stood up, holding a stack of secret letters high in his hands. He spoke in a loud and angry voice: "Your Majesty, I have irrefutable evidence that several princes are plotting rebellion, colluding with foreign enemies, and plotting evil!"
The little emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face.
He had already been warned by the Prince of Dongping, so he feigned rage, slammed the table, and shouted, "Is this really true? Someone, investigate thoroughly!"
The Prince of Dongping immediately took the order and led a team of imperial guards straight to the residences of the ministers who had been reported.
In less than half a day, a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry were found, and even letters of conspiracy with various princes. The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.
Seeing this, the princes could no longer sit still.
They knew very well that rebelling sooner or later would still be rebellion, so they decided to go all out and secretly colluded with the rebels outside the palace and directly launched a coup.
While those people were still discussing how to deal with these royal relatives, the rebels broke through the city gate, rushed into the palace with unstoppable force, and headed straight for the main hall.
