Quick Wear: After I captured the hero, I ran away with the ball

Chapter 324: The No. 21 Scholar’s ​​Divorced Wife ()

Chi Yue took what she wanted, pushed the person aside with a smile, ordered the secret guards to keep a close eye on them, and then wrote back to Lu Yuan.

At this time, Lu Yuan had already led the army to start the return journey, and Yu Shu was guarding Yicheng in his place, while letting Yu Shu recover from his injuries.

The prince was captured in the battle and had been beheaded. Lu Yuan took his body with him to the capital.

Within five days, the news that the army was heading for the capital spread throughout the city. Chi Yue did not intercept the news, so the emperor and Jianning soon found out.

Now the two of them are still under house arrest in the palace by Chi Yue and cannot leave. Chi Yue looked at the secret reports collected by the secret guards and found them very interesting.

She really didn't expect that the old emperor was such a passionate man. The imperial concubine Bai was once the wife of the prime minister at that time.

The three of them grew up together. Later, Bai married the prime minister, but less than a month after the prime minister's death, she entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

She was already pregnant when she married the emperor. After she entered the palace, the emperor gave sterilization drugs to all the women in the harem and vowed to treat Bai's child as his own.

No wonder, the way he looked at Jianning was completely different from the way he looked at the prince. Chi Yue put down the secret report.

"Father, what should we do? Will he kill us?" Jianning's body has improved a lot and she now has the energy to start feeling scared. It was clear that Chiyue looked at her that day with eyes that showed he wanted to kill her, but she didn't know why he stopped later.

The emperor coughed, his lips were frighteningly white, but he still stroked Jianning's head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your brother has brought troops back to rescue us, and father will not let anything happen to you."

"Really?" Chi Yue strode in. "You said you can be so kind to a child that is not your own, so why can't you open your eyes and look at your people?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" The emperor wanted to get up, but he had no strength at all, so he fell down heavily.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see how miserable you are." Chi Yue admired them for a moment, then continued, "Even in this state, you are still struggling. Are you waiting for the prince to come back and save you?"

The emperor and Jianning's bodies stiffened instantly. The emperor managed to control himself: "Even if you take control of the palace, what can you do? You might as well let me go now, and I can spare your life."

Chi Yue looked at the person who was still stubborn and said, "What a pity, your crown prince has died in Yicheng. By the way, the edict to abandon him was written by you yourself."

"This is impossible. The only person I want to kill is Lu Yuan. It's you..."

"I guessed it." Chi Yue smiled like a demon coming out of the ground, "Lu Yuan is mine, but it's a pity that you found out too late."

"But you guessed one thing wrong. Lu Yuan never thought of rebelling at the beginning. It was you who pushed him into this path step by step. You want to kill his wife and daughter. Do you think he can tolerate it?"

The emperor was already in a state of confusion at this time and didn't think about his wife and daughter at all.

Chi Yue had originally thought of throwing these two men under the city gate as a gift for her surrender, but the emperor was so angry that he died just because of this.

Seeing the emperor dying in front of her, Jianning fell to the side of the bed in fear. She looked at Chi Yue approaching her in horror and begged, "Please, don't kill me..."

Her voice gradually became quieter, and Chi Yue slapped her on the back of the neck: "You are so nagging."

"The princess is deeply sorry for her past mistakes and now she is committing suicide on the city wall to beg for forgiveness from the people."

Soon Jianning was hung on the city wall. Chi Yue wiped his hands and threw the handkerchief aside.

"His Majesty has passed away—"

As the funeral bells rang one after another, people inside and outside the palace were in panic, especially those who stood on the side of the emperor and the prince. Some of them even began to prepare to flee.

However, they were still a step too late. Lu Yuan traveled overnight and had already led a team to surround the entire capital city. The gates were locked and people ran back home in fear.

They were waiting for a fight, and those who were more cautious began to speculate whether the winner would be General Lu or the prince consort. However, given the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, most people were still willing to believe that General Lu would win.

However, no matter which side wins, their days will not be more difficult than they are now.

No one had expected that the princess would take the initiative to go up to the city wall and hang on it at this moment.

Outside the city wall, the general stood on his horse, holding a sword in one hand. Seeing his serious expression, the soldiers also became serious and waited for a fierce battle.

Who knew that at this time the prince consort also suddenly went up to the city wall, and the moment their general saw the prince consort, his expression softened, and his eyes were so affectionate that it was sickening.

The deputy general got goose bumps all over his body. He looked again and again, making sure that he was not mistaken. Their general now looked like a peacock with its feathers spread out.

No wonder the general is still single at the age of 25. It turns out he is a good man. I wonder if he likes me.

The deputy general shuddered. Lu Yuan was frightened by his eyes and stared at him. The deputy general immediately looked away.

"Chi Yue, please, save me--" Jianning's hands were hung on the city wall, and there was a building more than ten meters high below. If he fell from here, he would be smashed to pieces.

She felt that Chi Yue was able to save her last time, and maybe this time he just wanted to scare her.

"Open the gates and surrender."

At Chi Yue's command, the city gate was slowly opened. The soldiers below thought they were dreaming. They came here to attack the city, so how come the city gate opened by itself?

Lu Yuan looked at her, then threw the sword in his hand and stabbed Jianning directly in the chest.

Looking at the hilt of the sword on her chest, Jianning was still a little bit in disbelief. Blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth, and she died a few breaths later.

Lu Yuan rode his horse towards the city gate at full speed, and the deputy general didn't even try to stop him. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the general used to be very cautious, why is he so reckless now? What if there is an ambush in the city?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and followed on his horse, but he didn't expect that in the next second, countless secret guards emerged from the corner and surrounded the two men.

The deputy general cursed inwardly, wondering if his mouth was blessed, so that everything he said that was bad would come true.

Countless swords were pointed at them. The deputy general leaned against Lu Yuan and whispered, "When I fight my way out of here, you rush out."

He had just finished speaking and had no chance to take any action when he saw the secret guards making way for him. Chi Yue was wearing a moon-white robe that did not fit in with the surroundings.

The deputy general saw her and cursed: "Despicable villain!"
