Chapter 1288: Poison Neutralization (3)
Yan Du looked at him solemnly and said, "Since His Majesty is fine, why do the Forbidden Troops frequently appear around our residences? What is Rong Xuan trying to do by privately mobilizing the Forbidden Troops?"
"There are traitors in the capital. Prime Minister Rong is doing this for the safety of the ministers." A hoarse voice sounded behind everyone.
Everyone turned around and couldn’t help but gasp when they saw Qi Haoran staring at them with a frosty gaze.
Although his clothes were covered in mud, his boots were stained with mud, his hair was disheveled, and his face was haggard, he was staring at them with bright eyes, making them shudder.
Qi Haoran strode over and stood beside Rong Xuan. He nodded slightly at Yan Du and said, "Since Minister Yan has doubts, why don’t you go to the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review to inquire? As spying activities have been rampant in the capital recently, I want to capture all of them in one fell swoop. Prime Minister Rong originally wanted to use himself as bait to lure them out. Because he was worried that the ministers would be affected, he sent the Forbidden Troops to pay more attention to your residences. Since you’re not afraid, why don’t you share some of the burden for Prime Minister Rong and use yourself as bait?"
Qi Haoran was spouting nonsense, but the ministers could not rebut. With the elderly and young to take care of in their family, how could they dare to use themselves as bait to lure the traitor out?
Therefore, they were all speechless.
Anxious about his big brother’s situation, Qi Haoran was not in the mood to talk to them. He waved his hand and said, "I’ll leave this matter to the Minister of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review to discuss with you. Prime Minister Rong, I still have something to discuss with you."
Rong Xuan hurriedly bade farewell to everyone and led Qi Haoran to the harem.
As Yan Du watched them leave with a dark gaze, he said in a low voice, "Seeing as King Rong rushed back in such a sorry state, something must have happened to His Majesty."
