After hearing the empress's question, Sullo smiled and said softly,"Your Majesty, before I took action, I consulted Captain Suma.”
"Suma?" The empress's eyes flickered as she asked in a deep voice. You know my head guard?"
Princess Xingyue raised her hand with a smile." I was the one who asked Suma for help!”
"What did she say?" The empress nodded and continued to ask.”
Feeling the empress's scrutinizing gaze, Sullo's expression was extremely calm as he said softly,
"Lord Su told me that according to the laws of Great Xia, those who rebel should be sentenced to a thousand cuts and the death of nine generations!”
As soon as the word 'rebellion' was uttered, the atmosphere in the palace instantly changed.
The empress's eyes seemed to flash with a golden divine light, and her slender hands clenched into fists.
At this moment, even the temperature in the hall seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
It wasn't just the empress. Even Princess Epsilon, who had always been cold, narrowed her eyes. Her eyes were as sharp as swords as she stared at Sullo, waiting for him to continue.
" Rebellion!?"
"Are you saying that An Dehai wants to rebel? Although he had some power in the palace, he had no troops under him. How could he rebel?”
"Little Luo, Xingyue, you two better give me a reasonable explanation!”
The empress took a deep breath, and her beautiful face was filled with seriousness. A hint of coldness appeared in her phoenix eyes as she swept her gaze over Sullo and Princess Xingyue.
After hearing the empress's question, Princess Xingyue rolled off the dragon bed and said proudly,"
"Royal Sister, you once taught me to consider everything before doing anything. Little Luo and I have already investigated everything that happened today!”
"An Dehai, that old dog, naturally can't rebel on his own. But what if someone outside the palace colluded with him?”
Upon hearing this, the empress's eyes flashed coldly and her heart trembled.
What Xingyue said was true.
There was indeed such a possibility!
I've just ascended the throne, and the court is in turmoil.
Could it be that there are really some villains who have reached into my palace?
At the thought of this, the coldness in the empress's phoenix eyes became even more frightening.
"Who colluded with An Dehai?”
After hearing the empress's cold words, the empress's eyes lit up.
For a moment, even Xingyue, who was his biological sister, did not dare to be too impudent and was speechless.
However, Sullo stood up straight.
He looked at the empress with a burning gaze and replied with a righteous voice,
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the investigations of this lowly subject, Princess and Lord Suma, the person who colluded with An De Hai and attempted to rebel is that Valiant Martial Marquis of the court!“
Marquis Wuwei.
The moment this name came out.
It was like a thunderclap that exploded in the empress's heart.
So that was the case.
It was no wonder why this Martial Marquis, who had the most military achievements, suddenly stopped fighting and claimed to be ill at home, refusing to go to court.
He thought that he was dissatisfied with his lack of status as the Duke of Jin and was resisting with this attitude.
He did not expect that this fellow's scheme was actually so big.
The empress felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of the fact that the powerful Marquis Wu who controlled 200,000 soldiers had colluded with the powerful eunuch who had the seal.
If these two really found an opportunity.
The Grand Xia Empire would be facing a devastating calamity. Even if they could calm the chaos, they would be severely injured.
At that time, the already restless West Chu and North Mang would probably start a border conflict again.
But now, it was different from ten years ago. Great Xia no longer had a Valkyrie like the Queen Mother who could save the empire from danger.
At the thought of this, the empress slowly closed her eyes. Her eyes were slightly moist, but her voice remained calm.
"Xingyue, and Su Gongcheng, since you say you have evidence, then present the evidence. Empty words can't be counted as evidence.”
When Sullo heard this, he said softly,
" Your Majesty, rest assured. The Princess had already expected this. She brought Lord Suma and me to interrogate the eunuch by An Dehai's side and obtained the news of him secretly sending a letter to Valiant Martial Manor. This lowly official also found a letter that had not been sent out from the secret compartment in An Dehai's room.”
Upon hearing this, the Water Empress's phoenix eyes lit up and she said in a deep voice,"
"Is this true?
"In front of Your Majesty, how would I dare to speak nonsense?”
"Good! Hurry up and present it!"
In her anxiety, the empress actually went forward and took the letter from Sullo's hand. She then instructed,
"Also, summon Suma into the palace.”
"Yes."
Sullo felt the warmth that flashed across his heart. He turned around and walked out of the palace. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile as he smiled silently.
It seemed that the empress was not as calm as she looked.
At this moment, the empress took the secret letter back to the curtain. She bit her thin lips and looked at Princess Epsilon.
"Second Sister, come and take a look with me.”
Princess Epsilon nodded and took the secret letter.
Almost no outsiders knew.
Yaoguang Empress 'most trusted advisor wasn't the prime minister or the Grand Secretary.
Instead, it was this sister who seemed to be disabled…
After reading through the secret letter, he was shocked.
Princess Epsilon's eyes narrowed as a light flashed in them. A faint smile appeared on her pale lips.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, misfortune is accompanied by fortune.”
"Sister, this might not be a crisis, but a heaven-sent opportunity!”
