The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father
Chapter 18: Conferred the title of Princess by Father
Qu Honglin led a group of fierce guards and rushed towards where the emperor was.
The scene before him was shocking. A large number of assassins dressed in black night clothes and holding sharp daggers were fighting fiercely with the well-trained royal guards.
The bright yellow figure was unharmed and was closely guarded in the rear. He was terrified, "Lord Qu, hurry up! Save me!"
Qu Honglin's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he waved his hand and took the lead to rush into the battle.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Qu was once the most talented person in the world, but what is less known is that he is both a man of letters and a man of martial arts, especially his swordsmanship, which he learned from a famous teacher and reached the pinnacle.
In a short while, countless people were killed by his sword.
Before long, most of the assassins had died, and only a few remained to resist.
"Leave him alive!" Qu Honglin gave the order without hesitation and subdued a man in black with his own hands.
Unexpectedly, the assassin showed his vicious side and even wanted to hurt himself.
Qu Honglin's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He had already been alert and exerted force in an instant to break the other person's jaw.
The other captured assassins took the opportunity to swallow poison and commit suicide.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, the bright yellow figure breathed a sigh of relief, stepped out of the crowd, and stared at the handsome man with a bit of approval in his eyes, "My dear Qu, I'm lucky to have you this time, otherwise I would be in danger."
"Your Majesty, you are overly worried. You are blessed with great fortune and will be fine." Qu Honglin replied, and then looked at the man in black with a sharp gaze, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here! Take this man to the Sky Prison and interrogate him severely. Make sure to force out the mastermind behind the scenes. Remember, don't let him commit suicide."
The old emperor looked solemn, "Who do you think was responsible, Lord Qu?"
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is suspicious. The palace is heavily guarded, but these assassins were able to sneak in so easily. There must be an insider in the palace. After a thorough investigation and interrogation, I will give you an explanation." Qu Honglin frowned and said thoughtfully.
"Minister Qu is absolutely right. This matter will be fully under your charge. You must investigate it thoroughly. I will not tolerate it." The emperor said majestically.
"I obey your command." Qu Honglin bowed respectfully.
In the dark, Qu Qingyan looked at the man in black who was taken away, his eyes slightly cold, "These men in black must be related to the prince."
The Crown Prince, Mo Qianluan is the eldest prince born to Empress Yuan. He is highly favored by the old emperor and was made the Crown Prince as soon as he was born.
It’s a pity that the prince made a mistake and was confined to the East Palace, so he did not accompany the emperor on this trip.
In his previous life, not long after, he developed a rebellious heart and forced the emperor to abdicate, but in the end he failed.
The old emperor was extremely angry, but he was unwilling to kill him, so he demoted the prince to a commoner and imprisoned him for life.
Mo Qianluan knew that the situation was hopeless, and died of depression within a few months.
After the death of the crown prince, the other princes were eager to try. They won over the ministers and showed off their talents, all wanting to compete for the supreme throne.
And she, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was the stepping stone that Mo Li used to get close to her.
It was she who was blind and failed to see Mo Li's evil ambitions.
[The host is really smart, he guessed it right away. That's right, these men in black followed Mo Qianlu's words and came to assassinate the old emperor. After all, he has been the emperor for so long, how could the prince not be anxious? ]
As Xiaoyaoer spoke, he urged: [Host, in order to activate the mission, you should get in touch with the hero and heroine more often. Otherwise, when will you be able to take revenge successfully? ]
Can't wait?
Qu Qingyan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but he replied: "I know, I will release Qu Xinzhu when I get back."
[No need, the heroine has already left the house and sneaked into the palace. ]
When Xiaoyaer said this, Qu Qingyan was quite surprised, "She actually escaped?"
It's no wonder she was so surprised. The security in the Prime Minister's Mansion was as strong as an iron wall. There were not only guards inside and outside the mansion, but also countless secret guards hiding everywhere.
Qu Xinzhu, a weak woman with no fighting power, was able to avoid their surveillance. It must be said that she is quite capable.
[Host, don't be surprised. She is the heroine, a person of great luck. The aura of the heroine on her body is not something that ordinary people can resist. We should think about how to deal with her quickly. We can't fight her head-on, so we can only use our wits to defeat her.] Xiaoyaer gave her advice.
Qu Qingyan sneered, "Oh? Then tell me, what should we do?"
[Host, we first need to activate the mission, so that you can complete the mission to get points, which can be exchanged for various items and skills.] Xiaoyaer tried to seduce her.
Qu Qingyan pretended not to see what he was thinking, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not object.
The emperor was safe and sound, and the queen led the crowd to the scene in a hurry.
Everyone pretended to be concerned and asked about each other's well-being, but their hypocrisy was completely exposed.
"Today, thanks to Lord Qu, I will reward you well." The old emperor looked at the handsome man with great trust, "Lord Qu, is there anything you want?"
Qu Honglin said modestly with an indifferent expression: "It is my duty to protect Your Majesty. No additional reward is needed."
"Prime Minister Qu has made great contributions in protecting the emperor. I think Your Majesty should grant him a marriage, which can also save him from the pain of being alone." Pingyang Hou suddenly stood up and advised: "Prime Minister Qu was widowed at an early age. Although he has two daughters, he has no sons to inherit. Since ancient times, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. In order to ensure that Prime Minister Qu has a successor, I earnestly request Your Majesty to grant Prime Minister Qu a marriage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those who were on good terms with him came out one after another to second his motion.
Qu Qingyan, who was in the dark, was surprised when he heard this, and then he started to watch his father's show.
The old emperor had this idea long ago and wanted to grant the marriage.
The Queen frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Feng Lanyue stood aside with his arms folded, watching everything in front of him with interest.
Qu Honglin's face instantly turned gloomy and ugly. He responded coldly: "It seems that the Marquis of Pingyang is still too idle and even wants to interfere in my family affairs!"
Then, he turned slightly to face the figure in the bright yellow dragon robe, and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, I only have my late wife in my heart, and it is difficult for me to have room for other women. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
I don’t know how many women’s hearts were hurt by his words.
"Forget it, my dear Lord Qu is a man of long-lasting love, so let's forget about the marriage." The old emperor pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since my dear Lord Qu has only two daughters, I will grant them the title of princesses. What do you think?"
After he finished speaking, Qu Qingyan was greatly surprised, then frowned and looked displeased.
She was not greedy for the position of princess, but she was unhappy to see Qu Xinzhu benefiting from it and being rewarded.
Perhaps it was because of the bond between father and daughter, Qu Honglin replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I only have one wife and a legitimate daughter born to her."
"I have forgotten about this matter. Since you don't like that concubine's daughter, I will only grant the honor to the legitimate daughter. After returning to the palace, I will issue an edict to grant her a title and make her a princess." The old emperor recalled the uproar that happened back then and knew the grudge.
Qu Honglin's expression eased a little and he thanked on behalf of his daughter.
