Chapter 332 Exposed
After finishing packing, Cui Rongrong immediately walked out of the tent, wanting to find her husband as soon as possible to confirm his safety.
However, just as she stepped over the threshold, a scene not far away attracted her attention - she saw Song Yanyi and Su Yan standing on a path in the woods, discussing something important.
"After a detailed investigation, it was found that Lin Han's unauthorized return to Beijing was not driven by personal interests; in fact, it was because a large-scale epidemic had broken out in Shiya County, Qingzhou for more than two months, and local officials were helpless and had not been able to obtain effective treatment, which led to the worsening of the epidemic."
Su Yan said this seriously and with a hint of anxiety. It was obvious that this was heavy news for him.
After hearing the report, his originally gentle and calm face suddenly became solemn.
"Then may I ask what exactly caused this epidemic?"
Song Yanyi asked in a deep voice, his eyes showing some depth and sharpness, obviously realizing that there was a more complicated truth hidden behind the question.
"It is speculated that this may be due to the impact of a rare flood disaster that occurred recently. The Liuzhou area was severely affected and has not yet fully recovered. Although the court had previously assigned a person to be responsible for relief work, the Xuanwang Mansion did not seem to make good use of the funds allocated. Instead, it embezzled most of the resources, causing the local victims to live in hardship. This triggered a new round of disease transmission and gradually spread to Qingzhou."
Su Yan explained slowly.
After realizing the key points, Song Yanyi whispered to himself, "No wonder I have never seen any relevant reports submitted to the emperor for review..." Then he raised his head and looked into the distance, "Now I heard that Lin Han has been arrested and imprisoned for offending the majesty of heaven."
Just as Su Yan was about to continue describing the details of the situation, an inexplicable chill quietly came over him, causing everyone present to shiver.
"Uh... I'll get busy then."
After saying this, he fled the scene like a flash.
Sensing that the atmosphere had changed a bit, Song Yanyi looked coldly at Cui Rongrong who was walking slowly towards him, "Are you up so soon? Why don't you rest a little longer?"
Cui Rongrong tried to remain calm and replied, "My mental state is still good at the moment, so there's no need to worry too much."
However, faced with her husband's sudden inquiry, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Then she tried to inquire, "Do you have any specific plan to deal with this matter?"
Hearing this, Song Yanyi showed displeasure, "What are you going to deal with? Since you have knowingly violated the rules and fallen into the cage of imperial power, how can you still hope to escape the disaster?"
His words revealed a ruthless attitude.
But then his wife asked again, "But are you really willing to let go of such a golden opportunity? After all, this is related to whether King Xuan's greed and crime can be exposed. Revealing the truth in front of the supreme ruler will surely bring him to ruin!"
These remarks made Song Yanyi smile, and he secretly agreed that her proposal was indeed of great strategic significance.
Feeling the subtle approval from her lover, Cui Rong nodded gently, "In this case, everything will be decided by my husband."
This sudden submissive attitude instead aroused his vigilance, as if he had seen another completely different personality, which was elusive.
"Then you should go back and have a good rest. There are still a few difficult problems here that need to be dealt with personally."
After saying that, he turned and left, his back lonely and determined...
As Song Yanyi's footsteps gradually disappeared from his sight, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of countless questions and worries.
What went wrong to deserve such cold reception?
At the same time, in another scene, a fierce confrontation took place.
Song Yanyi led his elite troops and advanced towards the Queen's bedroom with great momentum.
When the group of people stepped into the restricted area, the queen, who was always known for her elegance and grace, flew into a rage and could no longer hide her shock and indignation. "How dare you! How dare you trespass into my place and stir up trouble?! This is simply treason!!"
Song Yanyi, who did not flinch at all in the face of this provocative act, responded coldly, "I learned that there are people hiding here who intend to endanger the safety of the emperor, so I decided to come and check it out in person just in case. If there really is a threat, even the Imperial Concubine, please do not obstruct law enforcement actions."
After hearing the other party's powerful words, even though he was furious, he had to accept the reality. After all, the current situation was changing rapidly and a little carelessness could lead to a disaster. That was why the emperor was extremely cautious and sent Song Yanyi to strengthen the guard measures to prevent accidents.
As the order was given, a large number of guards quickly launched a comprehensive search operation, and the scene became extremely tense and chaotic.
Not long after, Lin Han, covered in blood and wounds, was escorted out.
At this moment, he looked haggard and could not bear the pain of long-term torture.
Song Yanyi glanced at him coldly, then ordered his followers to take the suspect away for further interrogation.
Seeing this, the queen looked even paler and weaker, and her eyes were filled with despair.
Afterwards, Lin Han was sent to a temporary office area specially set up for questioning.
At this moment, the man who was once so glorious but now a prisoner struggled to lift his heavy body from the ground, stared at his opponent with eyes full of hatred and asked, "Why do you have to force me to expose all this? Is there no other choice?!"
His tone was full of reluctance and grievance.
Facing the doubts, Song Yanyi smiled calmly: "In fact, even without your cooperation, others can report the truth to the emperor. As for the final result, it has nothing to do with you."
He paused for a moment, then suddenly added in a more serious tone: "You are not the indispensable key figure at all."
Lin Han's face froze instantly, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over his head, and the blood in his body froze.
There was a flash of despair in his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Think of the answer and go see the emperor yourself, otherwise I will send you back to the palace as a favor to the queen."
Song Yanyi's voice was as cold as a knife, and every word seemed to strike Lin Han's heart with chill.
He knew that it was pointless to say more at this moment. Instead of wasting words, he might as well shock the other party with actions. So he stood up and left the small tent that made him feel suffocated.
However, when he was about to step out of the door, he slowed down his pace inadvertently, turned around and gave the person behind him a warning look: "Watch yourself. Cui Rongrong is my wife, if you dare to disturb her again, I will not let you off easily."
After saying that, he strode out of sight, leaving behind a lonely and determined back.
Lin Han was still lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly, his face as pale as a sheet of paper, his heart filled with mixed emotions: fear, uneasiness, and shame. On this cold earthy ground, he could still vaguely feel the biting chill that Song Yanyi had brought to him just now...
