As soon as this word comes out.

The gazes of everyone present at the scene all looked at Shen Qing in unison, bursts of surprise arose in their hearts.

How could it be him?

They knew about Shen Qing, after all, his ambiguity with Xiao Ling, the heir son of Zhennan Prince, had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Catch him up for me."

Xiao Zhiyuan furiously pointed in the direction where Shen Qing was, and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Where did the guards dare to delay, they immediately strode forward to arrest him.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Ling took a step forward, stood in front of Shen Qing, and fixed his eyes on the guards with a blank expression.

"Xiao Shizi, did you hear that too? We are also doing things according to the emperor's wishes, so don't make things difficult for us."

The guard standing at the front wiped the cold sweat that just broke out on his forehead.

"Xiao Ling, let me come."

A red light quickly flashed in Shen Qing's eyes.

"No." Xiao Ling shook his head, "Two fists are no match for four hands. I don't want you to be hunted down because of these unknown people."

With the abilities of the two of them, it is not difficult at all to kill all the people present and then escape.

But once this is done, the entire Great Xia will fall apart, and some ambitious neighboring countries will also take advantage of the leaderless opportunity to attack aggressively.

This was not what Xiao Ling wanted.

However, on the other hand, the occurrence of this incident may also be the opportunity that Xiao Ling has been waiting for for a long time, maybe.

"Xiao Shizi..."

"You don't need to say too much, the two of us will go with you to meet the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling ignored the guards who came to arrest him, and dragged Shen Qing towards Xiao Zhiyuan.

……

"See Your Majesty."

"Ling'er, what are you doing up here? Could it be that you were obsessed by ghosts and wanted to protect this daring lowdown?" Seeing that Xiao Ling came over with Shen Qing, Xiao Zhiyuan asked furiously on the spot.

"Your Majesty, all of this is just the guard's one-sided statement. I don't think it's enough to prove anything."

Xiao Ling cupped his hands calmly and said, "Furthermore, since we entered the hunting ground, we have been inseparable all the time, and he is my favorite, why should we take the risk of being discovered to murder Ning Gui, who has no grievances with him?" Waiter?"

"This……"

Xiao Zhiyuan was stunned by Xiao Ling's words.

indeed.

Xiao Ling is the son of King Zhennan, the future King of Zhennan, what does he want?There's no point in hurting Ning'er at all.

"emperor."

The guard who was pointing at Shen Qing interrupted the two of them at the right time, and said slowly, "This subordinate would like to guarantee with the head of the item that the assassin is definitely him."

He knew that his actions had undoubtedly offended Xiao Ling, but he could only insist that he was not at fault, so he had a chance of survival.

Otherwise, what awaits him will be a death penalty.

"Huh? Didn't you just say that Shen Qing's clothes are a little similar?"

Xiao Ling questioned word by word.

"That's right, based on the same clothes, you can conclude that I did it, it's really deceiving people too much." Shen Qing replied displeased.

"There is still sound."

Shocked by Xiao Ling's aura, the guard trembled, and then explained in fear, "When Ning Gui was injured, my subordinates also heard a voice that was exactly the same as his."

"Ning'er, did you hear that?" Xiao Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Qin Yining.

"It is indeed somewhat similar..."

Qin Yining stared at Shen Qing with an uncertain tone.

Qin Yining's words were more useful than what the guard said. Xiao Zhiyuan, who had doubts because of Xiao Ling's words, immediately believed that Shen Qing did it.

"It doesn't make sense."

With a bang, Xiao Zhiyuan slammed the table down angrily.

Seeing this, Qin Yining suddenly put his arms around Xiao Zhiyuan's left arm, and said, "Your Majesty, forget it, he is also Xiao Shizi's man, so it shouldn't be him."

"No, the matter of your injury must not be left alone."

Xiao Zhiyuan patted the back of Qin Yining's hand affectionately, signaling Qin Yining to rest assured that he would definitely seek justice for Qin Yining.

"Ling'er, don't be fooled by this bastard's rhetoric. If it wasn't him, why didn't the guards point at anyone but him? There must be something wrong with him." Xiao Zhiyuan reminded in a cold tone.

The eyes that stared at Shen Qing gradually became colder, as if looking at a dead person.

"I believe Shen Qing didn't do anything."

Xiao Ling affirmed.

"Enough." Xiao Zhiyuan's face gradually darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "You don't need to plead for this lowly man any more. If you dare to hurt the noble servant who is pregnant in Dangchao, he deserves to die. Come, someone, give me this lowly man. Drag them out and execute them Lingchi."

"With me here, none of you can touch him."

Xiao Ling spoke again to stop him.

"Your Majesty, don't be like this. I really don't want you to have conflicts with Prince Xiao because of me." Qin Yining persuaded with tears in her eyes.

"Ling'er, do you really want to fight against me for this pariah?"

Xiao Zhiyuan laughed back in anger, staring at Xiao Ling.

have to say.

The timing of Qin Yining's persuasion was really good, this lovely and pitiful appearance instantly aroused Xiao Zhiyuan's desire to protect, and he insisted on giving Shen Qing death even more.

"Yes."

Xiao Ling nodded, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes quickly.

"Your Majesty, the heinous criminal still has a chance to defend himself, but now you don't let me say anything, and you want to kill me. You are really wise."

Shen Qing suddenly cupped his hands and replied.

"Bold, you dare to mock me."

Xiao Zhiyuan was furious.

"Your Majesty, I admire your wisdom, where is the irony?" Shen Qing sneered.

"you……"

bang.

The moment Xiao Zhiyuan wanted to reprimand Shen Qing, there was a sound of the jade pendant falling to the ground, which instantly caught Xiao Zhiyuan's gaze, making him look over involuntarily.

Looking at it this way, it's incredible.

"Why is this jade pendant on your body?" Xiao Zhiyuan suddenly looked at Shen Qing in disbelief, as if he wanted to see a hole in him.

at the same time.

The other veterans who had seen this jade pendant were also stunned.

"It's just a relic given to me by my mother before she died, why is the emperor so surprised?" Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, then quickly picked up the jade pendant that fell on the ground, and then wiped it carefully.

"Come here, bring me the jade pendant in his hand."

Xiao Zhiyuan ordered suddenly, as if he wanted to confirm whether the jade pendant in Shen Qing's hand was the jade pendant he had seen with his teacher before.

"Yes."

The guard of Deling hurried over and said, "Young Master Shen, please hand over the jade pendant to me temporarily."

"Okay, but you have to be careful, this jade pendant is my family heirloom, if it disappears, I will definitely fight you hard." Shen Qing asked repeatedly, without embarrassing the guards.

"Yes Yes……"

Seeing that Shen Qing handed over the jade pendant so readily, the guard immediately nodded and carefully presented the jade pendant.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Sensing the change in Xiao Zhiyuan's mood, Qin Yining's tone immediately turned into concern.

I thought to myself, that's too bad.

"No, nothing..."

Xiao Zhiyuan shook his head, but the moment Xiao Zhiyuan picked up the jade pendant, his expression became very complicated, and an indescribable surprise slowly spread from him.

"What was your grandfather's name?"

"Wen Chonghe."

As soon as the word 'Wen Chonghe' came out, not only Xiao Zhiyuan, but also the expressions of other senior court ministers also changed.

Combining this jade pendant with the name Wen Chonghe, isn't it the old Wen Ge who died unjustly on the road of exile in order to protect Xiao Zhiyuan's life?

"No, it's impossible. How could you be a descendant of Elder Wen Ge?"

Xiao Zhiyuan's gaze was unbelievable.

Back then, Wen Chonghe was a talented and handsome young master Pianpianjia, how could he have anything to do with this ordinary-looking pariah in front of him?

Xiao Zhiyuan was not the only one who had this idea, other courtiers who knew Wen Chonghe also silently questioned him.

But the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, this jade pendant is in Shen Qing's hands, doesn't it prove everything?

"The emperor is right."

A courtier who had gone through three dynasties also agreed with Xiao Zhiyuan's words, and questioned at the same time, "As far as I know, the elder brother of Wen Ge's family was born that year, and he is also an elder brother."

Because he is close friends with Wen Chonghe, this courtier naturally knows more than others.

Even Qin Haoran's mother wrote a letter and told Wen's family that she was very clear about having a brother.

"Bold Shen Qing, not only did you assassinate Ning'er, but you also pretended to be the descendant of Wen Ge. It's absolutely abominable. I want you, and your entire clan, to die without a place to bury me, so that I can dispel the anger in my heart."

Xiao Zhiyuan wasn't trying to hide his killing intent.

"Your Majesty, Shen Qing is indeed a descendant of Elder Wen Ge, and also an elder brother."

At the same time that Xiao Ling finished speaking, he walked up to Shen Qing, and in front of everyone, wiped off the spirit ointment that covered the mark on Shen Qing's forehead.

This time.

The courtier who denied Shen Qing's identity was immediately silenced by Xiao Ling's words.

"Ling'er, you knew the identity of this Shen Qing early on?" Xiao Zhiyuan asked with a dark face, word by word.

"Weichen only found out not long ago."

Xiao Ling nodded calmly at Xiao Zhiyuan, "Originally, I planned to take this jade pendant back to ask my father, but now it seems that I don't need it."

"Your Majesty, I heard from my father that Elder Wen Ge has been kind to you, do you really want to bestow Shen Qing's death?"

Xiao Ling asked after taking advantage of the victory.

"This... Ning'er, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I always feel that people with ulterior motives are scheming against us in this matter. If Shen Qing has not been proven to be the descendant of Lord Wen just now, and the Emperor is determined to deal with Shen Qing, then don't you turn your back on Prince Xiao?" ?”

Qin Yining analyzed it empathetically.
