Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1135: A Masked Heart

Qin Yi nodded slightly, this matter can be told to Li Tianyang.

Li Tianyang is not a hard-headed person, he is very afraid of death. Now that his life is in his hands, telling him is no harm.

Qin Yi didn't really know if Li Tianyang would risk his life for them, but the fact that he had the trust of the Emperor indicated that he was still valuable.

After receiving Qin Yi's response, Qiu Tang had an idea in her mind, stepped forward to help Li Tianyang up, "Get up quickly, speak up if there's something."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Tianyang stood up accordingly.

Qiu Tang looked at him and said, "Li Tianyang, are you sure you want to know if I am involved in the imperial succession struggle?"

Li Tianyang nodded, he had no choice now but to stand on Qiu Tang's side. If Qiu Tang was already involved in the imperial succession struggle, then he would fully support her. For no other reason, just so he could stay alive.

Because if Qiu Tang failed in the imperial succession struggle, she and Qin Yi would both have to die, and if Qin Yi died, he would also have to die.

Qiu Tang's expression became serious, "Alright, I'll tell you, I am indeed involved in the imperial succession struggle."

Li Tianyang actually already had an answer in his heart, and hearing it now was not surprising. He knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, this subordinate is willing to fully support you."

Qin Yi found Li Tianyang's movements a bit awkward, because on Earth, kneeling on one knee is either a confession or a proposal.

Qiu Tang was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Li Tianyang up again, and smiled, "Great! Li Tianyang, I can promise you, no matter the outcome, I will ensure your safety."

"This subordinate is willing to risk my life for Your Highness..."

"Stop there!" Qin Yi really couldn't listen anymore, interrupting Li Tianyang's words with indifference, "Don't rush to show loyalty, it depends on actions, not slogans."

Li Tianyang's face was full of embarrassment, but in front of Qin Yi, all he felt now was endless fear, not daring to utter a word.

Qin Yi looked at Qiu Tang, "It seems that the secret message can be used."

Qiu Tang looked at Qin Yi in confusion.

"The secret message I just handed you, I think it would be more appropriate for Li Tianyang to present it to the Emperor." Qin Yi said.

Qiu Tang immediately understood, filled with admiration, Qin Yi truly was unbelievably clever. That secret message was from the Second Prince to the ministers in the royal family who supported him. The Emperor hated cliques and private factions the most, and if this secret message were presented to the Emperor, it would be enough to ruin the Second Prince completely.

One must admit, Qin Yi's move was ruthless.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Qiu Tang was about to hand the secret message to Li Tianyang, Qin Yi suddenly stopped her.

Qiu Tang looked at Qin Yi in confusion.

Qin Yi smiled, "The secret message can be given to Li Tianyang, but it can't be handed to the Emperor for the moment. The ministers on it can be swayed, the Third Princess is currently isolated and helpless, and needs the support of these influential people."

Qiu Tang thought for a moment and understood immediately. If the secret message were handed to the Emperor, not only would the Second Prince be in trouble, but the ministers supporting him would also be in trouble. So, with this secret message, those ministers who originally supported the Second Prince could be swayed to support the Third Princess. After all, no one wants to die.

Qiu Tang became increasingly impressed with Qin Yi, who thought incredibly fast, coming up with an idea with just a blink of an eye.

She was really fortunate that Yun Susu could have someone like Qin Yi to help.

Qin Yi said, "I will handle those War Generals, you and Li Tianyang discuss how to deal with those ministers."

Qiu Tang nodded slightly, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Qin Yi glanced at Li Tianyang, "The Third Princess is benevolent and kind. Only if she becomes the Emperor, the royal family will not undergo a major purge. Otherwise, anyone else taking the position won't be good for you. You are a smart person, for everyone to live well, you should understand what to do."

Li Tianyang hurriedly nodded.

Qin Yi looked at Qiu Tang, "I'll take my leave now."

"Safe travels!"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, then with a lift of his hand, he dismissed the Great Array, his figure flashing and disappearing directly from the great hall.

...

...

The next day, in the afternoon, the sun was shining.

Qin Yi had already left the Imperial City and was now standing in front of a city gate, above which were three grand characters... Haikang City.

His purpose of coming this time was the owner of Haikang City, Long Hai, one of the twelve War Generals of the Yunyue Empire.

Long Hai was one of the supporters of the Second Prince.

Qin Yi smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, smoothly entered the city, and soon arrived at Long Hai's mansion.

Every War General Mansion was quite imposing; people liked to use these external things to showcase their status.

Qin Yi walked forward steps.

"Stop, this is the War General Mansion, no idle people allowed to approach."

The soldiers guarding the entrance stopped Qin Yi's path.

"Please inform War General Long Hai, I am from the Imperial City." Qin Yi said indifferently. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The faces of several soldiers changed slightly, they didn't dare to offend anyone from the Imperial City just because of these two words—Imperial City.

"Please wait, I will report immediately."

The soldier hurriedly ran inside.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a purple robe, looking dignified, walked out with a dragon's stride.

"War General, it is him." The soldier said.

Qin Yi guessed that this person should be Long Hai.

This person had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, with a face full of righteousness. It is said that the face reflects the heart, this person didn't look like a treacherous person, so why was he supporting someone like Yun Baixuan?

Of course, some say the face reflects the heart, and some say you can't judge a book by its cover, these two sayings are inherently contradictory, so which one is believable? But Qin Yi believed in one saying, the heart is hidden under the ribs, you can't judge everything by appearance.

Long Hai took stride steps forward, standing a few meters in front of Qin Yi, examined Qin Yi briefly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, after all, Qin Yi was indeed quite young.

"I am Long Hai, may I ask if you come from the Imperial City?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

"May I ask for your name?"

"Qin Yi."

Long Hai was obviously stunned, this name was not strange to him, one could say anyone with some status in the Yunyue Empire would be familiar with it, after all, Qin Yi was the one who had slain the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire.

However, according to what he knew, Qin Yi had a close relationship with the Third Princess, why would he come to find him?

"So it's Young Master Qin, I've heard of you for a long time!"

Qin Yi smiled, "For War General Long, I have also heard of your great name."

"May I ask if Young Master Qin is here for something?"

Qin Yi frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Long Hai hesitated for a moment, he supported the Second Prince, but Qin Yi had a close relationship with the Third Princess, and if he let him into his mansion like this, it might cause a misunderstanding with the Second Prince. He was a bit troubled for a moment.

But the next second, his eyes focused, because Qin Yi took out a token and flashed it quickly, then put it away immediately.

Long Hai was stunned, that token was the Second Prince's, looking at Qin Yi, could it be...

"Young Master Qin, please come in."

Qin Yi smiled, "Please."

Following Long Hai to the main hall of the mansion, everyone took their seats, and maids served tea.

"You all can leave now."

Long Hai waved his hand, dismissing the maids and soldiers.
