The people sent never returned, and Li Guan knew that they had failed.

Apart from being a little surprised at how much Yang Xiao valued Lu Yao, he wasn't worried that those people would say something they shouldn't.

After all, those people are his dead soldiers, and if the mission fails, they have only one option: suicide.

On the contrary, when Mu Wan learned that the assassination failed, she threw a tea set in anger.

As she was also waiting to be married, Yang Xiao valued Lu Yao far more than Li Guan valued her.

She didn't even dare to go out these days, and she was treated coldly in the mansion, but Li Guan didn't take any measures to change this situation.

Resentment and jealousy washed over her soul, and her originally peaceful and beautiful appearance began to distort, never to be the same again.

In the days that followed, the capital seemed still calm.

The dissolute ones still live in Qinlou and Chuguan every day, and the poor people still suffer from hunger and cold.

But thoughtful people always feel that there is something unusual about this calmness.

Li Guan wanted military power, but he didn't dare to go too far.

If Yang Xiao and his son are forced to die, they will be in trouble.

He was busy testing and planning every day, so he had less energy to focus on Mu Wan.

In his heart, Mu Wan was already his, so marrying him was the only way out, so naturally he wasn't so eager.

Yang Xiao was also very busy. He pried open the mouths of the two dead men. They had followed Li Guan for many years and had handled many shady matters for him in the dark.

Some of the information is crucial.

It's just that he is busy and busy. Every day when he walks through the busy market, he can always think of the little princess who used to walk and eat on the street with a chic look.

He still knows her favorite snacks very well even in the past five years.

Every time I pass by, I can't help but ask Qing Shao to buy it and send it back.

Ji Yao accepted it seemingly casually every time, and when Qing Shao left, she smiled so hard that her eyes were no longer visible.

Yueyue put her face in her hands and sighed, "Oh, what a strange thing is love? Why does everyone become stupid and stupid when it comes to it?"

Li'er on the side didn't understand even more. He was only happy because his aunt had something delicious to eat. He insisted on eating it, but was dragged away by Yueyue.

There was also a small change in the general's mansion. A hero who wielded double hammers came into the army. He went to the martial arts field to practice for an hour every day.

At that time, Ji Yao always wore a fairy skirt with wide sleeves and stood in the dark with her hands hanging naturally, watching.

Only Yueyue knew that she was carrying two golden sledgehammers under her seemingly fluttering and beautiful sleeves.

Yueyue also knew that every night when she and Li'er went to bed, Ji Yao would secretly practice in the yard, and her double hammer skills were getting better and better.

She seems to have a graceful figure, but under that fairy-like skirt, there are muscles!muscle!

Why does she know everything?Because she is also stealing lessons.

A cute hammer or something, it’s perfect for her cuteness!

She must have a pair of pink hammers with ribbons and bows in the future!

When the time came to winter, two major events happened in the capital.

One is that King Xiaoyao married the daughter of the right prime minister.

This incident is not surprising.

Everyone knows the secret of their bed, so it would be strange if they don't get married.

On the wedding day, the streets and alleys were crowded with people doing no good.

I have heard many romantic stories, and I want to meet the protagonists of these stories.

Li Guan was riding on a tall horse, and he should have been in high spirits.

But those people looked at him, and their expressions became increasingly ugly.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

But those who were watching the excitement also knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they just watched the ceremony without making a sound.

No matter how arrogant he is, King Xiaoyao, he can't punish them just because he looks at them a few times, right?

Mu Wan in the sedan chair was also embarrassed and angry. Every time the curtain was opened by the wind, she could see the curious eyes through the fan covering her face.

Every pair of eyes seemed to tell her that what happened that day was known to the whole world.

Rather than getting married, it seemed to her like a parade on the street.

At the end of the ceremony, both of them were in no mood, feeling as sick as if they had eaten flies for a day.

Looking at the other party, one can't help but feel resentful.

After complaining to each other for a while, Li Guan waved his sleeves and walked away, leaving Mu Wan alone in the empty room on their wedding night.

Mu Wan bit her pretty red lips until they bled, wishing to cut Lu Yao into pieces immediately.

But she forgot about what happened that day. It was she and Xu Weilan who planned the plan first.

If Lu Yao had not fought back, her end would have been even more tragic.

This wedding farce was discussed in Beijing for several days, and another major event also happened.

Wang Yi, who was appointed commander of the Royal Forest Army, suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown.

A family of young and old packed their bags and prepared to leave the city in a carriage. As they were passing through the busy city, the horses in several carriages suddenly lost control, causing the carriage to roll over.

What fell out was not his family members, but gold.

Countless amounts of gold.

It far exceeded his salary as a commander of the Royal Forest Army.

And before he became the commander of the Royal Forest Army, he was just a commoner. How could he have so much gold?

Wang Yi was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Later, news came out that the gold was none other than the former emperor's, preparing to transport it to Hedong for disaster relief.

But didn't he say that the emperor did not rescue the people of Hedong?

There were various opinions for a while, and everyone was discussing the matter secretly.

King Xiaoyao was furious after hearing this, and sent people to find out where the news came from, but found nothing.

A few days later, a rubbing of the household account book was circulated.

And that account book is from five years ago.

It clearly states how much gold and grain the emperor allocated to the people east of Hedong.

The person who took the order to escort him was actually Li Shi, the former king of Northern Vietnam, and the late emperor who died the year before last.

At this point, what happened back then has become clearer.

Li Shi received the relief grain, gold and silver early, but instead of sending them to Hedong, he recruited troops and horses for himself, and also bribed the commander of the Imperial Guard who was guarding the imperial city at that time.

Therefore, the emperor's family who was brutally slaughtered were wrongly accused. They were harmed by Li Shi, the rebellious minister and traitor.

The people in Hedong who were affected by the disaster were so excited when they heard about it that they came all the way from Hedong.

Those students and scholars who had read the books of sages since childhood were also filled with indignation. They spontaneously went to sit in meditation outside the palace gate and asked the palace man to give an explanation.

The common people who were more courageous also followed.

They don't understand many big principles, but they know that life has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

Recalling that when that emperor was in power, at least they were all well fed and clothed.

At first, King Xiaoyao and the Emperor tried to suppress them by force, but there were too many people.

Kill this one and his family and friends will come forward tomorrow.

In order to calm the situation, when the first snow fell, the emperor issued an edict on behalf of his father.

He blamed everything on his dead father, and did not hesitate to call him a rebellious minister and traitor.

He also said that if the blood of the former royal family survived, he would be willing to abdicate in favor of a worthy person.

But everyone knows that the first royal family was exterminated.

They just know this and dare to say such things.

Although his shamelessness made people laugh, there was nothing anyone could do about it.

At this moment, Ji Yao, dressed in bright yellow court clothes and a princess phoenix crown, walked towards the palace gate step by step under the escort of Yang Xiao and the sergeant, and regained her royal radiance step by step.
