"Even so, will the Emperor believe it? Father is a man of loyalty and patriotism."

She wanted to know who the mastermind behind all this was.

"Do you know what is going on in the Imperial Court right now?" Qiao Yu did not answer Sun Yingyi's question directly, but asked her a question instead.

Sun Yingyi thought for a while, but still waved her hand. In the end, she was also a woman, so she naturally did not know much about the Imperial Court.

"Now that the Prince has become an adult, it is inevitable that there will be a change in the Imperial Court. Since this matter has been mentioned, it is inevitable that we have to consider the position of the Crown Prince. Every time, the Imperial Court will naturally divide into factions and fight for it."

Although Qiao Yu had explained the question clearly, Sun Yingyi still did not know what she meant.

However, she still listened carefully. Sun Yingyi knew that Qiao Yu definitely would not say such a thing without thinking.

She must have her own purpose in doing so.

"Now that the Crown Prince has been established, the others should naturally assist him. However, there are many princes in the Imperial Court. How could anyone willingly submit to the person they support? After all, if the Prince succeeds, those who assist him will also rise to the top. The person your father once supported was the current Crown Prince."

When she said this, Sun Yingyi seemed to have realized something. She hesitated and asked, "Your Ladyship, do you mean that there are people among the other princes who are trying to frame Father and try to drag the Crown Prince down with them?"

Qiao Yu did not reply, but continued to speak, "One is the Crown Prince, and the other is a famous general. With such a strong alliance, there will naturally be many people who support him. If you want to destroy him, you have to destroy the elites among those people."

She looked at Sun Yingyi and thought about it. In the end, she reminded her, "Those ordinary people will naturally not cause any trouble after the Crown Prince is decided. Only those with enough strength will do so."

Sun Yingyi seemed to have woken up from a dream. She looked at Qiao Yu in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Although Qiao Yu did not say it clearly, she had already hinted at it.

In Mautrem, there was only one person who could cover the sky with one hand and was trusted by the Emperor, and that was the Imperial Uncle, Qin Zhang.

If that was the case, everything made sense. Why did Qiao Yu not say it directly, but instead indirectly hinted at it? It was because Qin Zhang was Qiao Yu's older brother.

"I just don't know where these concubines learned it from?"

"There is no wall that cannot be seen through. You have to be careful when you speak."

Sun Yingyi saw the sincerity in Qiao Yu's eyes. From the beginning to the end, she had always trusted Qiao Yu's words.

After she pointed it out, Sun Yingyi had a better impression of Qiao Yu. Although she was Qin Zhang's sister, she did not cover up her older brother. Moreover, she revealed these things to unrelated people.

"Thank you for your advice, Xiaoliu. I understand now."

"Maybe the Emperor didn't have any suspicions at first, but someone was trying to stir up trouble. There was a precedent for the uprising of the army and usurping the throne. The Emperor couldn't help but listen to the slanderous rumors. Furthermore, General Sun is well-received among the common people."

Sun Yingyi thought about Qiao Yu's words, but they were different from her own thoughts.

In an instant, a guess had spread in her heart.

However, no matter which of their guesses was correct, there was no need to bother about it. There was one thing that Sun Yingyi was absolutely sure of. That was that Sun Xiangzhong no longer had any trust in the Emperor.

Otherwise, the Emperor would never have killed the Sun family.

Perhaps the Emperor still had some hope for Sun Xiangzhong at the beginning, which was why he kept his life. If Sun Xiangzhong returned to the capital safely, he might be able to gain the Emperor's trust and a chance to survive.

However, there was no such thing as a possibility in this world. She didn't expect Sun Xiangzhong to disappear halfway.

Now, all the suspicions had been confirmed, and the disappearance had become a guilty escape.

Sun Yingyi's current feelings were extremely complicated. She didn't know what to say. Qiao Yu naturally knew that she might not be able to accept this fact in a short period of time, so she remained silent and didn't disturb her remaining peace.

She couldn't remember what had happened after that. Her heart was filled with the matter of her father being framed by a traitor, so she didn't care about anything else. She didn't even realize that time had passed.

Until Zhao Mohan sneaked into the room to look for her, she still didn't come back to her senses.

Zhao Mohan looked at Sun Yingyi's absent-minded face and frowned. He turned around and asked Qiao Yu, "What happened to her?"

"She just said a few words. She's not feeling well right now. It might not be good for you to disturb her."

Qiao Yu didn't look at him. Instead, she sat on the sandalwood chair and applied the rose oil that she had just made.

Those were her secrets with Sun Yingyi. Without Sun Yingyi's permission, she naturally couldn't mention them to Zhao Mohan.

"It's not early. If someone comes to patrol, it won't be good. It's better to send Sun Yingyi out safely."

Only when she said this did Qiao Yu's tone soften a little. She felt sorry for Sun Yingyi, just like she felt sorry for her own daughter.

Zhao Mohan didn't say anything else. He quietly carried Sun Yingyi into his arms and then flipped out of the window.

When Sun Yingyi came back to her senses, she was already sitting in her room. She raised her eyes and saw Zhao Mohan staring at her. She didn't know how long he had been like this.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yingyi cried out in alarm. She patted her chest in fear and asked angrily.

"I would like to ask you what exactly did you say to Imperial Consort Yan? Why did you seem to have lost your soul after coming out?" Zhao Mohan crossed his arms and looked at her. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

When this matter was brought up, Sun Yingyi felt as if a huge rock had been placed on her chest. It was very heavy.

Seeing her worried face, Zhao Mohan did not know whether he was curious or worried. He wanted to know what had happened.

"Do you think my father really committed treason?" When Sun Yingyi looked at Zhao Mohan, her eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Zhao Mohan finally could not help but soften his heart.

He patted Sun Yingyi's head. Zhao Mohan remembered that the last time he had patted her head like this, she seemed to be very happy.

However, he did not expect that his action would make Sun Yingyi cry out like a burst dam.

This time, Zhao Mohan was really at a loss.

"You don't like others touching your head. I won't touch it in the future."

Sun Yingyi was not moved at all.

As a result, Zhao Mohan could only quietly accompany her until she dried her tears.

"I just feel that my father is not that kind of person." Sun Yingyi lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Why did father have to encounter such a thing?"

Zhao Mohan really did not know how to advise her on this matter. After all, this was not something that could be explained in a few words.

"Don't think too much about it. If General Sun is innocent, then the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

"Is there really a day?"

Now that the Sun family was wanted by the Imperial Court, there was no chance for them to make a comeback. Sun Yingyi felt that she could not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"This doesn't look like the Sun Yingyi I know." Zhao Mohan stood up and looked at the darkening sky with his hands behind his back. He said, "When the emotions have passed, continue to study in the Imperial Hospital. If you can help me, maybe I can help you as well."
