wealthy queen

In the middle of the night, everything was supposed to be quiet, but because of the sudden death of the prince and the emperor, the emperor urgently ordered a supper, which not only made the refugees on the street panic, but also made people in the entire imperial city unable to sleep again. With heavy guards, it is difficult for a fly to fly out. However, a carriage made entirely of agarwood is speeding on the empty street. There are at least hundreds of black-clothed people following the carriage on both sides and behind. A soldier with a black mask, their destination, pointed directly at the east gate.

"Shut up!"

At the gate of the east city, a large number of soldiers piled up, and the carriages and soldiers had to stop. Tianshu rode forward and took out the token of Prince Qingping's mansion: "My lord is going to hunt, open the door!"

But whoever is a soldier doesn't know the armored guards?Who dare not recognize King Qingping's carriage?

But the emperor had an order, so the blood relatives of Shen Qiao who killed the prince would have to leave the city, and no one could leave the city without the emperor's order.

The soldiers looked at each other, and they all looked at each other. They didn't dare to stop King Qingping, but they didn't dare to disobey the holy order either.

"The emperor has an order, no matter who it is, no one is allowed to leave the city without a warrant."

A young and domineering voice suddenly sounded, everyone heard the sound and looked, only to see Ling Yucheng coming on horseback, the soldiers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Tianshu frowned indiscernibly: "Little General Ling, if my family Does the prince have to go out of the city?"

King Qingping's lawlessness is not a matter of a day or two. He doesn't care about his reputation at all, let alone whether the emperor will blame him. He always does whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.

"Commander Tianshu, I didn't intend to embarrass the prince. The emperor's life is on his side. Please forgive me. If the prince insists on leaving the city, why don't you go back and ask the emperor for a warrant?"

Riding his horse to come in front of him, Ling Yucheng thought about it for a while, and greeted him politely. Ever since his father told him in Wangyuecheng that day, he still admired King Qingping very much and was unwilling to fight him.

"Joke, when will this king need that kind of thing when he leaves the city?"

Before Tianshu, Pei Yuanlie's voice suddenly came from the carriage, overbearing and unreasonable.

Ling Yucheng suddenly felt a headache. He can be regarded as the top rich man in the imperial city, but he still couldn't fight back with the same strong attitude in the face of King Qingping. The scene couldn't help being a little awkward for a while. He didn't mind the appearance of rushing in, but the newly transferred defenders were timid when they knew that the opponent was King Qingping, and they seemed to have lost to the opponent in terms of momentum.

"How about this, I will let you go out of the city, but I want to personally check the carriage of the prince, please be considerate."

There is really no way, Ling Yucheng can only propose this is not a solution, although he does not think that King Qingping will protect Shen Qiao's family and help them abscond.

In the carriage, Pei Yuanlie was about to refuse reflexively, but Shen Liang held him back. Seeing him shaking his head at him, Pei Yuanlie said helplessly: "Okay, don't say I am embarrassing you, come in."

Unexpectedly, he really agreed, Ling Yucheng was ready to be rejected by him, but after hearing the words, he was a little dazed, unable to react for a long time.

"Little General Ling, please hurry up, we are still in a hurry."

Seeing this, Tianshu, who was also surprised, reminded Ling Yucheng, and then he reacted, got off his horse and strode towards the carriage. The moment the door opened, his body was instantly pulled in by a powerful force. He thought that his martial arts were excellent, but he didn't even have time to react.

"you……"

When he stabilized his body, he raised his eyes and saw Shen Liang smiling at him. Ling Yucheng couldn't help but stare, Shen Liang raised his fingers to silence his voice, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Little General Ling, the lord knows that I have been a child since I was a child. I grew up in the countryside and never participated in hunting and other activities. I specially took me to hunt around Fengming Mountain. Although the prince and I are fiancés, we have never been married. Traveling alone will definitely attract criticism. The little general helps cover up one or two things, and Shen Liang will remember your feelings."

You know that it will attract criticism, so don't follow it!

Ling Yucheng wants to cry but has no tears. He is determined that he will not refuse, right?If I had known that he would rather let them go out of the city than check the carriage, anyway, he and Shen Qiao are not blood relatives, and it is not uncommon for them to disagree, no matter how angry the emperor is, he would not be able to blame him on the head.

"Are you really going hunting?"

Why did you choose this time?Tangling Hou Mansion will be in chaos next, right?

"If you don't hunt me, why go out at this time?"

"..."

how could I know?

If possible, Ling Yucheng would like to yell back at him.

"Please, General Ling, let us go out first. If the emperor blames you, you can say that King Qingping forced his way out and ask him to find King Qingping."

Shen Liang clasped his hands together, and even thought of the reason for him. For some reason, he just felt that Ling Yucheng would definitely help.

"Okay, okay, you guys go out, and I will pay you back the favor of not killing."

Unable to stand his soft words, Ling Yucheng straightened his armor, and disappeared into the carriage after speaking, and closed the carriage door for them at a speed unimaginable by ordinary people, so as not to let anyone see Shen Liang with sharp eyes, no matter what How should I put it, Shen Liang is always a twin, and he is part of the Shen family, so if people really found out, he would have to stop them.

"Open the door!"

Ling Yucheng, who got on his horse again, gave an order, and the heavy city gate slowly opened.

"Thank you!"

Tianshu clasped his fists in thanks and raised his hands. The armored guards escorted the carriage and galloped out quickly. After leaving the range of the imperial city, he made sure that no one was following him. Taking advantage of the darkness, Pei Yuanlie and Shen Liang immediately changed the carriage. The Nether Dark Guard of the Iron Armored Guards also changed into eye-catching attire, hundreds of cavalry divided into three groups, and went straight to the northwest.

"bump!"

"What does he want? Rebellion?"

It was impossible to hide the fact that Qingping King Pei Yuanlie forcibly broke out of the city, and it soon spread to the palace. The emperor, who hadn't slept all night, was so angry that he smashed everything within his reach. The emperor's brother died in vain, Pei Yuan Lie still made trouble for him at this time, trying to piss him off, right?

"Your Majesty calm down, the prince is going too far, but..."

Looking at him carefully, Yang An was a little afraid to say what he said next, but the angry emperor glared at him sharply: "But what? If you have something to say, just say it, and if you don't say it, get out of here."

"Then what can the servant say?"

Yang An took two deep breaths to strengthen his courage, but he still didn't dare to say loudly: "But it's not like you don't know, he has always been like this, if the prince is honest, you probably won't be able to sleep."

"Bold!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The emperor yelled at the words, and Yang An knelt down with a touch of his legs. The emperor was so angry that he circled back and forth in the palace, and after a long while, he suddenly sat down on the dragon chair again: "Forget it, I am so angry now. No matter how ruthless you are, he won't be able to see it, wait for him to come back and see how I deal with him."

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has arrived."

A little eunuch trotted over, Yang An looked at the emperor carefully, stood up and waved his hands: "Let Lord Yang come in soon."

"Your Majesty, Master Yang must have brought good news. Calm down, don't let your anger ruin your body."

After dismissing the little eunuch, Yang An turned back to appease the furious emperor, and the death of the prince was indeed a big stimulus to him.

"The emperor is dead, what good news can there be? It's not enough for all those people to pay for his life."

The emperor rubbed his temples uncomfortably. When Yang Wanli came in, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw the mess on the ground, and knelt down in the chaos: "My minister Yang Wanli pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor! "

"Okay, let's get up and talk about the key points."

The emperor rubbed his head with one hand, and waved it irritably with the other. Yang Wanli stood up after thanking him: "Your Majesty, after the interrogation of Shen Qiao's parents and brothers and the servants of Dongling Hou's mansion overnight, it can be confirmed that before the marriage, The convict Shen Qiao's mental state was already abnormal. Everyone said that she was crying all the time, and the night when the imperial decree bestowed the marriage was like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Shen Ruiqing disregarded her wishes and threatened her that if she continued to make trouble, she would poison her and make her dumb, and tied him to a sedan chair. The guards of the Prince's Mansion who killed Shen Qiao, the prisoner's wife, on the spot yesterday can also prove that the criminal The woman Shen Qiao has been laughing crazily after she tortured and killed Prince Jian, she is indeed insane."

These things are not secrets, and they can be found out as soon as they are checked. Yang Wanli found out quickly, but he was a little hesitant when it came to the verdict. How can it be impossible to see that the emperor has always had an attempt to suppress the Dongling Marquis Mansion?In the final analysis, the marriage between Dongling Hou Mansion and Qingping Prince Mansion had too much influence, especially in the past two months, Shen Liang's reputation has overshadowed General Ling and others who stopped the disaster, saying that he is the hottest twin in Daqin Not enough.

"What did Shen Ruiting say?"

Sure enough, the emperor pointed at Shen Ruiting as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This……"

Thinking of Shen Ruiting's bony body, Yang Wanli hesitated for a moment, the emperor stared at him: "This, this, this, what to say, don't hide a single word."

Thinking that Shen Ruiting was trying to protect Shen Ruiqing's family, the emperor couldn't help being even more angry. His brothers were all dead. Could it be that Shen Ruiting's brother was more noble than his brother?

"Yes."

After bowing and saluting, Yang Wanli said in a concentrated voice: "Your Majesty, Marquis Shen didn't say anything. I was shocked when I saw him. It's only been a month since I saw him. He's already lost weight. It looks like it's really dying."

"what?"

The emperor couldn't believe it, after all, he was fine the last time he saw Shen Ruiting, and it was only a month or two ago.

"Your Majesty knows that, I dare not lie a single word."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it, Shen Ruiting had changed so much.

"Regardless of whether he is terminally ill or not, since he showed up, how can you say they didn't say anything?"

Forgive him for not daring to speak nonsense, the emperor seems to believe it a little bit, but he is still unwilling to let go of Shen Ruiting's attitude.

"It's true that he didn't say anything, but his third son Shen Liang did."

"What did he say?"

The emperor frowned imperceptibly, Shen Liang's words seemed to be inconsistent with Shen Ruiqing's family, right?

"Shen Liang asked my servant to tell His Majesty that killing people pays for their lives. No matter how you punish Shen Qiao's parents and brothers, they dare not have any objections. Lord Shen is not feeling well recently, and he has been ignoring the affairs of the house for a long time. I hope His Majesty sees him in the past. For the sake of the imperial court's dedication, let him be spared the crime of ineffective supervision."

Yang Wanli didn't dare to hide anything, so he recounted what Shen Liang said, and only slightly modified the substituting words.

"Hmph, he's done it all!"

The emperor snorted angrily. If he were an ordinary person, he could directly make the entire Shen family sit together. But now the Dongling Hou Mansion has a very high prestige among the people, and Shen Liang is also very popular with the people. With the Wei family who have already returned, and Shen Da who is desperately fighting on the battlefield, if he really dares to sit together when they have tried their best to separate their relationship, the people in the world will probably turn against him.

The emperor didn't speak, and Yang Wanli didn't dare to talk too much, he just lowered his head and waited for his order. He was still somewhat worried, after all, his son was close to Shen Liang, and he really valued Shen Liang.

"I have to think about how to deal with Shen Ruiting and the rest of the Shen family. As for the parents and brothers of the prisoner Shen Qiao, knowing that their daughter is insane, they didn't report it in order to cling to the prince's house, which caused my only imperial brother Death, such actions are heinous, they must all pay for the emperor's brother, and, does Shen Ruiqing have a younger brother? He will be dismissed from his official position and will never be hired."

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor suddenly said seriously.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yang Wanli bowed to accept his order, and the emperor waved his hand: "Go."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

After he retreated, the emperor said to Yang An again: "Decree to the Ministry of Rites, honorably bury the younger brother, Qin Xun, the eldest son of the younger brother, will inherit the throne and be named King Xun."

"Yes."

"Go, find out what happened to Shen Ruiting."

Even after Yang An was sent back, the emperor lowered his face and recruited the shadow guards. Although he couldn't let everyone in the Dongling Hou Mansion stay together, he was unwilling to let this good opportunity to suppress them easily pass by. .

"Yes."

The shadow guard led away, the old emperor leaned back against the dragon chair, his eyes were empty, and his eyes that had not been closed all night were lightly dozed. Too many things really happened that night.
