Chapter 168 Xue Fei's Troubles
Beichen Palace
"Master, as you expected, that person is indeed the daughter of the Cangrong king."
Di Yi reported the results of the investigation to Di Ran.
After returning home from Juesefang, her master suddenly asked her to investigate the identities of those barbarians and she was quite puzzled.
But the result of the investigation shocked her. She didn't expect that the person was actually the daughter of King Zangrong?
This princess sent the daughter of the Zangrong king to jail. Is this an attempt to stir up disputes between the two countries?
Di Ran's eyes were cold, and he said calmly, "The Tibetan Rong delegation will arrive in the capital soon. Those people are wearing Naiman costumes and have an extraordinary aura. In addition, that person claims to be the daughter of the Tibetan Rong king, so this king naturally has some doubts."
"Then Master, let's..."
Di Yi frowned slightly, unable to guess what Di Ran was thinking at the moment.
Di Ran's cold eyes were calm and he spoke nonchalantly.
"The envoys will know about the disappearance of the Princess of Zangrong soon. When they find out that the Princess was sent to prison by the Crown Princess, they will definitely not let it go."
"Although Jingzhao Yin Xue Fei is not a good person, it would be a pity if he took the blame for the incompetent princess. Go and give him a heads up so that no one finds out."
Emperor Yi responded respectfully: "Yes."

Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen
Xue Fei was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with the captured "spy".
The princess intended to torture him to extract a confession. Xue Fei could also see that the princess was obviously seeking revenge, after all, this had happened quite a few times.
In the past, anyone who offended the princess would be sent to her and would be punished.
Who said she was the princess of the current dynasty? How could a mere subject like her dare to offend her?
If it were an ordinary person, she would still be able to move without distraction, but this time the person who offended the princess was a person who was suspected to be the daughter of King Zangrong.
She had also heard that the Tibetan Rong delegation would be arriving in Beijing soon. At this time, a Tibetan Rong princess suddenly appeared. Was it true or false?
Go ahead, what if that person is really the princess?
Don't move, but it will be hard to explain to the princess.
For a moment, Xue Fei was in a dilemma.
The subordinate saw that Xue Fei was worried, so he said, "Sir, you are not unaware of the character of the Princess. If you don't do what she wants, I'm afraid she will be jealous of you."
Xue Fei frowned: "Are we going to torture her? What if she is really the daughter of the Cangrong King?" Subordinates: "Didn't Her Highness the Princess say that she will bear the consequences? If that's the case, why should you worry?"
Xue Fei shook his head and thought: "The princess is cruel, selfish and narrow-minded. If something really happened, it would definitely not be like what she said."
"When the time comes, they will definitely look for a scapegoat to shirk all responsibility, and I, the one who detained the princess and tortured her, will be the best scapegoat."
"The princess is the emperor's daughter after all, and it is impossible for the emperor to hand the princess over to Zang Rong for punishment."
The subordinate frowned, "But if you don't follow the princess's wishes, what will you do if she asks you to punish me in the future? Besides, the man in the prison might really be a spy."
"If you don't move, firstly, you will offend the princess. Secondly, if that person is a spy, you might be suspected of shielding her if you don't move her. What if the emperor blames you..."
"This……"
Xue Fei hesitated, with a conflict in his mind. On the one hand, he wanted to do as the princess wanted, but on the other hand, he wanted to hold back.
"Whoosh~"
Just as Xue Fei was hesitating, a hidden weapon flew through the air and hit the pillar above Xue Fei's head with a "bang".
Xue Fei was stunned at first, then he looked up at the dart hanging above his head and his face suddenly turned pale.
When his subordinates saw it, they were shocked.
"Come here, there's an assassin!"
"Protect your lord!"
The government office was suddenly brightly lit and in chaos.
"Sir, there is a note on this dart."
Xue Fei was frightened by the hidden weapon and broke out in a cold sweat. When he saw his subordinates taking the hidden weapon and saw the note on the dart, he was stunned for a moment.
"This is……"
