After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

On that day, Zhaoge sent someone disguised as a peasant woman, drove a horse-drawn carriage to Anzhou, and brought Meng Ruyuan back overnight.

It was late at night when I saw Meng Ruyuan again.

Zhaoge didn't sleep, and was hoping that the carriage that would pick him up would appear as soon as possible.

"Sister!" At this time, a figure appeared, and in the dim moonlight, she rushed towards Zhao Ge with joy.

Zhao Ge also ran up and hugged her.

When the two sisters met, they seemed to have endless things to talk about, and Yuan Jinglie was tactful enough to give them some time alone.

Zhaoge was so lucky to see Meng Ruyuan. These days, whenever she thought of Ruyuan, she felt like a stone was pressing down on her heart.

She really shouldn't have been left in Chai'an, but the situation was urgent at the time and she was able to leave only by lying to the Empress Dowager, so she couldn't go back to pick up Ruyuan.

"Fortunately, you are safe, otherwise I would never be able to rest in peace in my life." Zhao Ge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Meng Ruyuan smiled mischievously like a child: "Sister, don't cry, I feel guilty. I'm fine. Wei Tingfeng protects me very well. I've even gained some weight these days."

For some reason, when she mentioned Wei Tingfeng again, there was no longer the fear in her tone.

Speaking of Wei Tingfeng, Zhao Ge sighed and said with great regret: "It's a pity that Wei Tingfeng died like this. In fact, he helped us a lot."

Meng Ruyuan's smiling expression froze in an instant.

Those few words exploded in her ears.

Wei Tingfeng is dead.

"How could he die suddenly?" She almost used up all her strength to hold back her tears and not lose her composure.

Zhao Ge told her what happened during the day, and said many words to her expressing his pity for Wei Tingfeng.

Meng Ruyuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he lied that he was sleepy and asked Zhaoge to leave first.

As soon as the door closed, she couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down crying.

"Fool, you fool!"

My sister said she didn’t know why he volunteered to die, but she knew!

Because the Empress Dowager's people discovered her existence. They threatened him to be an envoy with her life, and if he failed to successfully negotiate peace, they would kill her!

Although he secretly sent her to Anzhou, she could not escape the danger. The Empress Dowager would discover her disappearance sooner or later.

At that time, it will be the Wei family that will suffer the misfortune.

Unless he died directly in the peace talks with Southern Qin.

He was willing to die because he didn't want to drag down the Wei family and her...

Meng Ruyuan recalled the day when she and he walked together in the bustling market in Anzhou.

On the road, there was a fortune teller setting up a stall, and he insisted on telling his fortune.

The fortune teller asked him, "What do you want?"

He smiled, looked at the bustling crowd, and said something.

"I want the world at this moment, and the person I love right in front of me."

Meng Ruyuan thought that if she could do it again, she would never pretend to be confused again, but would muster up the courage to ask him who his ideal person is.

...

Yuan Jinglie buried Wei Tingfeng's body, but did not hold a funeral to avoid dissatisfaction from Southern Qin.

In the lonely grave among the mountains of Qingzhou lies the buried remains of the brilliant Wei Shaoqing.

Apart from Zhaoge and Ruyuan, no one else came to pay tribute.

When the news of Wei Tingfeng's death reached Chai'an, although the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied, she could not vent her anger on the Wei family.

Wei Qi, who lost his son in his later years, later retired to his hometown with his family.

At the same time, Nan Chu also clearly understood that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Nan Qin.

The Empress Dowager ordered that the whole country should unite and fight to the death with Southern Qin.

However, everyone can talk, and the problems that Nan Chu had accumulated over the years broke out in the day-to-day war.

A weak country can no longer withstand any war.

At the beginning of the new year, Chai'an's last line of city defense, Luoyang, was breached.

And the day before the attack on Chai'an, Yuan Jinglie took out the knife that Zhao Ge had given him.

Today, he will use this knife to settle accounts with everyone who has framed him.

As the morning light rose, the army looked like a long and majestic dragon.

When they arrived at the Chai'an city gate, the soldiers there had lost the courage to defend the city to the death, and they were completely defeated after not much attack.

Yuan Jinglie, dressed in military uniform, walked at the forefront of the army, looking with cold eyes at the street scene that had once been so familiar to him.

"Don't harm the people." He left behind these words.

Then, he led a small group of people and broke into the imperial city.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, they found that the Empress Dowager, with her hair full of pearls and jade and dressed in gorgeous clothes, had been hanged in the palace.

He grabbed the old maid next to the Grand Empress Dowager and interrogated her: "You are with your master, so you must know who conspired with your master to frame me in the past. Tell me!"

The old lady was so frightened that she had lost her soul. She explained everything immediately.

Yuan Jinglie ordered his men to bring all the ministers to the palace one by one.

In the Qiankun Hall, he sat on the dragon throne with a cold look in his eyes.

Dozens of ministers were brought before him.

He laughed sarcastically, and then asked in the panicked eyes of those people: "When you framed me, did you think of today?"

The first minister replied timidly: "No...no."

"So you think I deserve to be slandered to death by you and bear eternal infamy?"

"no no--"

"Damn it." Before the minister could finish his words, Yuan Jinglie had already killed him.

When it was the second person's turn, he replied: "I have long seen that you have amazing talent. You will definitely become the best in the world in the future!"

Yuan Jinglie smiled contemptuously: "Then why did you frame me? It seems that you want to die."

After saying that, another knife was used.

The remaining twelve people would not escape death no matter what they answered.

In a short time, the Qiankun Hall was flooded with blood.

Xiao Yanzi watched the whole process indifferently. Finally, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yuan Jinglie, "Wipe your hands."

Yuan Jinglie glanced at him and praised him: "Not bad, you are still alive and that old witch didn't find out that you are mine."

"Stay and continue to serve me in the future."

Xiao Yanzi knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the massacre in the palace, Yuan Jinglie found an excuse and summoned the Qin army general Wei Wusheng to the palace.

As soon as Wei Wusheng came in, he was surrounded tightly by Yuan Jinglie's men.

"Well, are you going to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?" Wei Wusheng looked at the imperial guards wearing Nanchu armor and was horrified. "Why would the Chu army obey you?"

"Your Majesty was kind and lenient to us in the past! If you support a new emperor, we will naturally follow you!"

"That's right, it's not your turn to show off your power!"

Wei Wusheng cursed in confusion: "Traitor, Yuan Jinglie is rebelling against Nan Chu!"

"Your Majesty is the descendant of General Jing Wan'an. This kingdom of Nanchu was mostly founded by General Jing! Now we are just restoring order."

"We are willing to follow the Marquis!"

Before Yuan Jinglie could speak, the imperial guards responded one after another.

Wei Wusheng couldn't utter a word.

He didn't expect Yuan Jinglie to act so quickly, and he didn't expect Chai An to have so many followers of Yuan Jinglie.

Yuan Jinglie raised his eyelids and looked at him calmly, "I won't kill you now. Go write a letter to your Emperor Qin. The eighteen cities in the north of Nanchu will belong to him, and the rest will belong to me. This is exactly what we agreed on in the past."

"Also, greed is insatiable. I advise you to keep your promise and not have those little thoughts that shouldn't be had."

After that, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I advise you not to refuse, otherwise, you will die ugly."
