On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Before she could pick up the whistle to respond, a familiar figure emerged from the woods.

"But you're looking for me?"

Cen Xiao raised his chin and jumped down from the treetop.

The moment he saw Cen Xiao, Shen Wantang's expression froze, and then he let out a long breath.

She wanted to rush forward and hug him tightly, but she restrained herself.

After finding a flat place, Shen Wantang set up his tent.

"I have contacted Lian Zhao. Now the life of the monarch of Rong is hanging by a thread. We are just waiting for good news from him."

Cen Xiao drank the hot tea slowly.

Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect that the prince also has a lot of connections in Rongguo."

Cen Xiao smiled calmly: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Have you thought about your future strategy?" Cen Xiao changed the subject and his eyes frowned again.

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Now Ji Xunchuan relies on the newly promoted people in the court. Now that His Majesty has been bewitched by villains, we, as wise ministers, will naturally help His Majesty to relieve his worries and clear his entourage."

Hearing this, Cen Xiao raised a playful smile: "You really are a fox."

"Then the eldest prince will come forward, present the late emperor's will, and smoothly inherit the throne." Shen Wantang let out a long sigh, raised his eyebrows and spoke.

A last will?

Cen Xiao frowned and asked, "Did the late emperor leave any instructions?"

As soon as he asked, Shen Wantang's playful eyes fell on him. He raised his eyebrows and then smiled calmly: "Does it matter whether the late emperor left a will or not? The most important thing in the world is the well-being of the people."

This was indeed true, and Cen Xiao understood it immediately.

It's just the injustice of the Cen family traitor...

Shen Wantang had already made plans——

Dozens of days passed, and there was still no news from the border. Ji Xunchuan did not leave the Taiji Hall for dozens of days.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There's news from Mobei!" Eunuch Shen Wantang hurried forward and reported.

Ji Xunchuan perked up instantly.

"General Cen is not dead. He went to Mobei with Miss Shen. The news about the rebellion of the Marquis of Zhenbei is not detailed. It is because someone forced him to do so!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan frowned - how come everything that had been arranged before suddenly became like this!

He couldn't hide the panic in his eyes as he flipped through the documents on the table, fearing that he had missed any of them.

After planning for all these days, how could the Cen family suddenly be able to overturn the verdict?

"Now, does anyone know this news?" Ji Xunchuan's eyes tightened - if only a few people knew about it, there would still be room for maneuver.

"Everyone in the court knows about this, and the people in the capital also know about it. Everyone is about to set off firecrackers happily!"

The smile on the eunuch's face became brighter and brighter, but when he saw the veins bulging on Ji Xunchuan's forehead, his smile disappeared instantly.

Ji Xunchuan was so angry that he grabbed the memorial beside him and threw it aside, shouting angrily: "Go and ask Dai Mengtao to come see me!"

"Have you heard? A victory was won in the north!"

"It is said that the Marquis of Zhenbei did not commit treason, but was just trying to stir up trouble with the Rong Kingdom! But it's good, their monarch is about to die, and when the new monarch ascends the throne, we will definitely be able to turn the tables!"

Such words spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

But it was also very strange that Dai Mengtao was still full of energy a few days ago, but he fell ill in the past few days and could not get up. No matter how many doctors he consulted, he still couldn't get better. Even the imperial physician in the palace was helpless.

There was laughter and joy in the capital, but the scene inside the palace walls was quite different.

Ji Xunchuan called all the imperial guards back to the palace and hid in the Taiji Hall. He had not attended court for several days.

I had nightmares every night, and I would shout Cen Weiwu's name in my sleep.

In just a few days, Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao returned to the capital.

Ji Xunchuan, who had not attended court for several days, looked much more haggard.

In the hall, Cen Xiao and Shen Wantang slowly came forward.

"Your Majesty, I am Shen Wantang."

"During this trip to Mobei, I have thoroughly investigated this matter. Someone threatened the Marquis of Zhenbei with your majesty's intentions, opened the gate, and let the people of Rongguo in. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the three cities of Mobei would have been handed over to the enemy."

Shen Wantang spoke coldly, and at that time, his eyes were no longer the same as before, but instead showed a bit of fearlessness.

"Your Majesty has too many villains around him, causing instability in the court. I cannot bear to see Your Majesty being tortured by them." Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, and said with a strong voice, "Therefore, I want to clear the court of villains!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the hall jumped in surprise.

"Shen Wantang, who do you think you are? Don't forget that your father is a criminal. What qualifications do you have to purge the emperor's court?"

A voice came over, and soon it was echoed by the voices of the court officials.

Shen Wantang looked indifferent on the surface, and slowly turned around to look at the people around him: "Do you think I am unworthy?"

"Then is this person worthy?"

Shen Wantang's gaze fell outside the hall, and everyone looked over there.

I saw a man slowly walking forward, with an imposing manner, and his brows looked very much like Ji Xunchuan.

Most of the people in the court were new officials, so they didn't recognize the newcomer. However, the Minister of Justice recognized him at a glance and fell to his knees with a thud: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes trembled, and they looked at Ji Xunze in disbelief as he slowly walked forward in plain clothes.

After a moment, Ji Xunze slowly stopped and stood in front of all the officials.

"It has been several years since we last met. I wonder if you can recognize me, my fifth brother?" Ji Xunze spoke slowly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The prince, who had always been spoiled, had become the rough man in the palace.

Before Ji Xunchuan could speak, his men couldn't wait to speak: "How dare you, a lunatic, impersonate the deceased great prince!"

Ji Xunchuan clenched his fists, feeling even more panicked.

"My elder brother passed away several years ago. How dare you impersonate my elder brother?"

After saying that, Ji Xunchuan punched the table.

All the officials knelt, and no one in the hall dared to speak.

"This time when I went to Mobei, I rescued the eldest prince from a farmer in the wilderness." Cen Xiao spoke slowly.

"Your Highness has been displaced for many times before finally settling down. But when I was there, Your Highness encountered bandits. I would like to ask, how did these bandits find Your Highness?"

Cen Xiao shouted coldly, his sonorous words echoing in the hall, and everyone panicked - this was interrogating the current emperor!

"Cen Xiao! How dare you!" The Shaoqing of Dali Temple shouted harshly, rushed to Cen Xiao in one step, raised the court board and was about to fall on Cen Xiao.

As a mere civil official, he could not compare with Cen Xiao in martial arts skills.

Cen Xiao dodged it with a quick move, grabbed Shaoqing's arm and applied a little force. There was only a slight sound, and Shaoqing screamed in pain.
