After Ouyang Shishi finished speaking, she looked at Wu Yuan. When she saw a smile on Wu Yuan's lips, she knew she had guessed correctly.
But there are also many questions in my mind, "Did Prime Minister Wen really meet Emperor Wu?"
Wu Yuan shook his head, "I don't know. It's possible that he received a message from Emperor Wu. Of course, it's also possible that he actually met Emperor Wu, but this possibility is still very low."
"Why do you say that?" Ouyang Shishi was puzzled.
Wu Yuanze said: "Because Emperor Wu should not dare to appear in the palace no matter what he says. There are forbidden troops guarding both inside and outside the palace, so he should have nowhere to hide."
Ouyang Shishi suddenly realized, and then said: "Then Prime Minister Wen has received the news from Emperor Wu, but why didn't he tell you? Could it be that Prime Minister Wen is preparing to betray you?"
Speaking of this, Ouyang Shishi also had a worried look on her face.
"Betrayal?" Wu Yuan's expression was also a little colder.
According to Wu Yuan's creed, he could accept that his subordinates were incompetent or even stupid, but he could never tolerate betrayal.
But Wu Yuan still said: "It is still too early to draw a conclusion now. I still believe in Prime Minister Wen's character."
He does not trust those he employs and does not trust those he doubts. Prime Minister Wen is someone he has tested long ago, and Wu Yuan believes that Prime Minister Wen is a smart man. It would be an extremely unwise choice to betray him under such circumstances.
Wu Yuan did not want to continue to be suspicious and waited for Yan Fei to come back from the investigation before making a decision.
But what Wu Yuan didn't expect was that when they arrived at the Peacock Palace, Yan Fei didn't catch up with them.
Wu Yuan did not get off the carriage, and his face no longer relaxed as before.
Ouyang Shishi didn't dare to say anything. At this time, Xile heard Wu Yuan's carriage at the door, but no one was seen getting out of the carriage. He just walked out to check the situation.
After getting on the carriage and seeing Wu Yuan, Xile couldn't help but laugh and curse: "What are you doing? Why don't you go in when you're here? The Ouyang family is already here."
Wu Yuan said at this time: "Shishi, you go first, I want to go back to the palace."
Hearing this, Ouyang Shishi said with worry: "No, Shishi will go back with the young master."
Xile also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly asked: "What's wrong? What happened? I'll go back with you too."
But Wu Yuan said with a serious expression: "You two stay here, Shishi, I will come back to pick you up later."
"But..." Ouyang Shishi still didn't want Wu Yuan to go back and take risks alone.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
However, when Wu Yuan finished speaking, Yan Fei's voice finally came from outside the carriage, "Your Majesty!"
Wu Yuan and Ouyang Shishi both cheered up and walked out quickly. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they found that there was nothing wrong with Yan Fei.
Wu Yuan asked: "Why did you come?"
Yan Fei said: "Something happened. Prime Minister Wen left the capital with five thousand soldiers and horses. He said that he had discovered the thief who kidnapped Emperor Wu, so he took people to rescue him."
Wu Yuan suddenly frowned. Prime Minister Wen just left the palace before him. If he really found out, he would definitely tell him when he saw him.
As soon as the front leg left the palace, the back leg led 5,000 people out of the city?
This is definitely not normal. At this time, Yan Fei said: "The key is not just that Prime Minister Wen left, but that Prime Minister Wen left with his whole family."
"What?" Wu Yuan was really not calm this time.
There is no doubt that Prime Minister Wen was not going to save people, he was clearly running away.
Although Xile hadn't figured out what was going on, he realized something was wrong, so he said, "Do you need me to lead the palace's people to chase it?"
Wu Yuan's eyes were gloomy. He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Just as Wu Yuan was thinking about it, another carriage came speeding towards him.
Not everyone dares to gallop like this in front of the Peacock Palace, so it could only be one of our own.
Just when the carriage was about to arrive, Yan Fei said, "It's Haitang."
Wu Yuan was startled. At this moment, Murong Haitang rushed over. Something must have happened.
Before the carriage could stop, Murong Haitang ran out and almost stumbled off the carriage.
Fortunately, Wu Yuan reacted quickly and caught him and held him in his arms. Murong Haitang could not be restrained at this time and quickly said to Wu Yuan: "I don't know what happened, but many ministers seemed to have made an appointment.
He rushed towards the city gate, as if he was leaving the capital."
You should know that if an official of the imperial court wants to leave the city, he needs to report the reason and obtain permission before leaving the city.
Now these people dare to leave the city privately, which is a big taboo.
Wu Yuan's face was terrifyingly cold. There was no doubt that this was Emperor Wu's handiwork.
Is this an attempt to incite rebellion against these ministers?
At this time, Yan Fei also told Murong Haitang about Prime Minister Wen, and Xile finally understood the whole story.
Murong Haitang was shocked by the news at first. She did not expect that Prime Minister Wen would betray Wu Yuan.
Some even couldn't believe it, but Xile said angrily: "It's because Wu Yuantai indulged them. He still killed less people at the beginning. I think when Emperor Wu came to power, he killed nearly half of the ministers."
After all, Xile can be called a princess of three dynasties. Even though she was still young, she still knew these things.
Compared to Emperor Wu, Wu Yuan was indeed kind.
Then Xile said again: "Why are you still standing there? Go chase now and kill each one after you catch up. Otherwise, I'm afraid the other ministers will also be shaken."
Murong Haitang and Yan Fei's expressions changed. They were both important ministers in the court.
He knew very well that if Xile did this, it would certainly serve as a warning to others and make people frightened, but it would also chill the hearts of all the ministers.
I'm afraid there will be big problems in the future, but right now, it's unjustifiable if I don't do this and continue to condone it.
At this moment, Wu Yuan said: "There is something fishy about this matter. Don't you think that all of this is leading me to leave the palace to crusade?"
It sounded like this, and the expressions of Yan Fei and Shangguan Jianjia became even more solemn.
However, Xile said resolutely: "Leave this matter to me. I will kill those you don't want to kill. I want to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves."
I have to say that although Xile's words were a little too impulsive, it was still a good idea.
But Murong Haitang was also worried: "But if sister Xile goes, it will be a bit risky."
"It's already reached this point. There's nothing left to take. It's been decided." After saying this, Xile looked at Wu Yuan. She still had to wait for Wu Yuan to nod.
Wu Yuan also hesitated for a moment, then Yan Fei said: "Sister Xile and I will go together."
"Okay, tell someone to notify Qiao'er and Yan Miao and bring them together." Wu Yuan finally made up his mind.
