Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Chapter 263 Seeking Justice

The man in black came with great force.

Xie Chengyin found these men in black very familiar.

They were still thinking of giving them some advice, but the group of men in black surrounded them and killed them without saying a word.

No one present was afraid at all. After all, they all knew martial arts, so dealing with a few men in black was no problem at all.

Except for Shen Furong, she is the only one who has no martial arts skills.

But Shen Furong didn't seem that scared. She just stood there without moving at all. Even her personal maid Yun Qiang was so scared that she shrank her head and hid behind her, but she didn't even frown.

Looking at this scene, Xie Chengyin couldn't help but secretly admire: Brave man.

But the brave man could not resist the swords, and several men in black even went after him specifically.

Xie Chengyin was closest to Shen Furong. Seeing that Shen Furong had become the target of the man in black, he immediately rushed over to block the knife that was about to hit Shen Furong's neck.

Then he pushed Shen Furong towards the direction of the Hua Ci tree and said, "You take the princess away first, my brother and I will cover you."

Shen Furong was pushed suddenly, and before she could react, she had already crashed into Hua Ci Shu.

A long sword that was stabbing at Hua Ci Shu turned and stabbed at her. Shen Furong's pupils suddenly shrank. She opened her eyes wide and clearly saw the tip of the sword approaching her inch by inch. She retreated in panic.

Seeing that he had nowhere to retreat, he suddenly tensed his body and was embraced by a strong embrace. The man in black who was stabbing him with a sword was kicked far away.

Shen Furong raised her head and saw Hua Cishu's strong and handsome face. Her heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably.

Feeling Shen Furong's frank gaze, Hua Cishu lowered his eyes and said, "Princess, I'm sorry."

Shen Furong didn't understand what this so-called offense meant, but the next moment, a pair of big hands were wrapped around her waist, and with a slight force, she was carried into the air by Hua Ci Shu, and when she landed, she was already on the horse's back.

"I'll take the princess away first. I'll leave this place to you."

The sound of horse hooves clattered as they galloped away, and in a flash the two of them disappeared.

"How disloyal!"

Xie Chengyin was besieged by men in black. Several soldiers from the Tiger Army came to help him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but complain.

Xie Chengyi had just killed the man in black who was approaching. Hearing his brother's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you let them go first?"

Xie Chengyin stiffened his neck, looking unconvinced, "I was just being polite, who would have thought that Hua Cishu would actually just leave."

"At least he took the princess away. The princess is safe now, and we can worry less when dealing with these men in black."

Xie Chengyin comforted himself in this way in his heart, especially when he thought about his straightforward temper, which was exactly the same as someone else's.

"As expected, they are siblings."

Xie Chengyi had just killed a man in black, and he and Xie Chengyin were standing back to back, "What did you say about brother and sister?"

Xie Chengyin pulled the corner of his mouth, "Nothing, let's make a quick decision."

"it is good!"

The two men supported each other's backs and killed the approaching men in black one by one with their swords.

If there were no limit on the number of guards escorting the princess, they could only bring a dozen Tiger Army soldiers. Otherwise, there would be no need to waste so much of their time with just these few men in black.

At this time, Shen Furong, who was being galloped on horseback by Hua Cishu, had a flushed face. She sat in front of Hua Cishu, and the strong wind caused by the galloping made it impossible for her to open her eyes.

She unconsciously shrank back and hid in Hua Ci Shu's arms, then she managed to speak.

"Where are we going?"

Hua Cishu didn't lower his head, but looked straight ahead and replied, "Fengyang Village."

"What are you doing there?"

"You need to stay there for a few days. Once the situation in Dongdu stabilizes, I will escort you back."

It was originally just an ordinary morning court session in the imperial palace, but at this moment, all the civil and military officials were in a state of panic and kept silent.

Looking at Prince Lian Shen Zhaoyi and Yan Ci, who had no official position, standing in the center of Longchang Palace, Shen Zhaoyan's gloomy face showed undisguised murderous intent.

Shen Zhaoyan sat steadily, his hands on the armrests of the dragon throne clenched into fists.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at Yan Ci, who immediately straightened up and said, "We just want to set things right today."

Shen Zhaoyan glared at Yan Ci, "You have no right to speak here."

Shen Zhaoyi chuckled, "Second brother, you don't dare to let her say it."

"I dare not let her say anything. She is just a woman and has no official position. How can she come to such an important place as Longchang Palace!"

"Second brother, this is your fault. Miss Yan was appointed as a deputy minister by our father. Although her position is not high, she still has the power to participate in government affairs."

Yan Ci looked at Shen Zhaoyi, and they smiled in tacit understanding. Then he turned to Shen Zhaoyan and said, "It doesn't matter whether I hold an official position or not. After all, the late emperor has passed away. I just come to ask for justice from Your Majesty for my old friend."

Shen Zhaoyan looked at the two people standing below who were silently singing the same tune, and his heart was filled with anger.

But all the officials were present in the Longchang Palace. Even if he was angry, he could only suppress it in his heart and maintain the dignity and composure of an emperor.

He sneered: "Who do you want to seek justice for?"

Yan Ci took a big step forward, staring at Shen Zhaoyan, and said in a loud voice: "The former eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, the former Princess of Xiang, Hua Cijing."

All the officials were stunned, looking at Yan Ci with eyes full of astonishment and surprise.

OK?

Asking the former King Xiang for justice for his wife is like asking for feathers from a chicken.

All the officials began to murmur in their hearts, and dared not speak out, carefully observing the emperor sitting at the top.

Shen Zhaoyan's heart was already in turmoil because of Yan Ci's words. He didn't expect Yan Ci to mention Hua Cijing openly.

Thinking about how she had once visited the Dali Temple at night and met Hua Cishu for quite a while, most of what she knew about Hua Cijing came from Hua Cishu.

But what Hua Cishu knew were all the things he wanted him to know.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhaoyan's shocked eyes gradually calmed down, and there was a bit more sarcasm in the look he gave Yan Ci.

"Oh? Are you speaking up for me? Although Hua Cijing and I have never been married, she was buried in the imperial mausoleum as my princess. If she is dissatisfied, I know it. How can you be the one to ask for justice?"

Yan Ci's face was cold, "You know it's not that you don't know, you know it too well. Hua Cijing's death was caused by you and Xiao Chengzhang. If I don't come to seek justice for this injustice, do I have to rely on your own conscience to find it?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Chengzhang stood in the front row of the civil servants, staring at Yan Ci with eyes wide open, wishing he could swallow him in one gulp.

Yan Ci squinted at Xiao Chengzhang, "Am I talking nonsense, Prime Minister Xiao, do you want to see your own handwritten letter?"
