The General Is As Urgent As Law

After Qin Shu went to Juxian Pavilion, she was reprimanded by Qin Mu as expected.But after all, she is Qin Mu's favorite, so she couldn't bear to be too harsh on her, and only ordered her not to travel in men's clothing, and if she wanted to leave Juxian Pavilion, she had to ask his permission first.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Cen Lixuan came in all his costumes and invited Qin Shu to go out to play in front of Qin Mu.Due to his status as the prince, Qin Mu couldn't refuse. He wanted Qin Shu to refuse, but Qin Shu was fascinated when he saw Cen Lixuan, wishing to go out with him.

For several days after that, Cen Liyu was like this, going to Qin Shu every day, and rumors spread in Xiangcheng, saying that the Ninth Prince wanted to take the daughter of General Qin.With the rumors, controversy ensued.The Ninth Prince is very masculine, and it has been rumored in Xiangcheng for many years, and everyone is no stranger to it.But now that he is pursuing Qin Shu, isn't that a blatant slap in the face of rumors?If people really like men, why would they pursue a woman now.

So someone came out and said that the Ninth Prince was so masculine, someone in the palace saw it with his own eyes, and after all, he was just playing with the daughter of General Qin from time to time, and there were countless things to do.

The emperor couldn't stay awake for more than an hour for several days, Qin Mu always returned to the capital, and several days passed without being summoned to the palace for an audience.

In the same way, Wei Lin hung around the gate of Anshang Hall every day, waiting for the opportunity to go in and talk to the emperor about the loach, but Mr. Mu didn't even give him the opportunity to pass on the news, and directly refused him, saying that the emperor hadn't seen anyone recently.This worried Wei Lin to death. Apart from going to see Jiang Ye in the prison every day, he wandered around the Anshang Hall, waiting for an opportunity.

After four days in a daze, he finally waited for this opportunity.

In the afternoon of this day, Wei Lin was guarding in front of the Anshang Hall. When he saw Cen Lizhen approaching from a long distance, he went up to him without thinking and said, "Ninth Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why didn't you come to the Anshang Hall?"

This question was nonsensical, but Cen Liyu didn't care, and said calmly: "I have been outside the palace for the past few days, and my father was ill, so I didn't see anyone, so I didn't come to the palace."

"You scared me to death." Wei Lin said.

Cen Lixuan glanced at him, presumably Wei Lin hadn't heard of what he did outside recently, seeing his anxious tone, it seemed that something important had happened, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"The man was caught, and the confession was made. We just waited to meet the emperor." Wei Lin whispered, "The emperor has not seen anyone, and I didn't find a chance to enter the palace."

"Understood." Cen Liyan nodded solemnly, "Then wait for me to go in first, and after half an hour, you can ask Eunuch Mu to report."

"Okay." Wei Lin nodded, "Then I will inform General Xue to escort him into the palace now."

When Xue Ziqin's name was mentioned, Cen Lixuan felt guilty for no reason.He couldn't help but think of the fact that he was making a big deal about pursuing Qin Shu. If Xue Ziqin knew about it, would he come to ask him about it?

But right now is not the time to think about these things. Now that the second prince can be eliminated from the opponent, that is really good news like timely rain.

"Go." Cen Lixuan nodded and headed towards the Anshang Hall.

"Xu'er came to pay respects to the royal father." He said loudly in the main hall.

Eunuch Mu came over and saluted him: "The emperor is taking medicine, please let the ninth prince in."

"Ah."

Entering the inner hall, the maid is serving the emperor to drink medicine.Cen Lixuan stepped forward without thinking, took the decoction from the maid without a word, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, carefully scooped up a spoonful, blew cool on his lips, and delivered it to the emperor's lips.

"You came."

"Father drink the medicine first, and then talk with father after drinking Xuan'er."

The emperor really followed his advice and just drank the decoction spoonful by spoonful, and then said: "I heard that you have been outside the palace for the past few days."

"Yes." Cen Lixuan handed the medicine bowl to the maid, and slightly lowered her head in response.

The emperor's complexion was much worse than that of the previous few days.There was no trace of blood on his face or lips, and even his skin was a little dry. He didn't look like a pampered emperor at all, but more like an old man.When he spoke, he seemed to be struggling, and he gasped for breath after finishing a sentence.

He continued: "I heard...you...you are interested in Qin Mu's daughter."

As soon as this remark came out, Cen Lixuan turned sideways slightly awkwardly, not daring to meet the emperor's gaze.In the eyes of the emperor, this was a completely shy look, and only when what he said hit Cen Lizhen's mind, would Cen Lizhen be so shy.

"It's okay, if you like it, I can give you a marriage." The emperor said, forced a smile.

But Cen Lixuan shook his head and said: "Father is not in good health, how can Xuan'er have the intention to get married."

"The Ninth Prince's words are wrong," Eunuch Mu suddenly said while listening to him, "It's because the emperor's dragon body is not in good health that the palace needs more joy."

"Ahem... Anyway, if you like it, I can give you a marriage."

"Yu'er really... adores Miss Qin's family." Cen Lixuan's voice became smaller and smaller, the word "admiration" was almost inaudible.

The emperor laughed and said, "Then I will make the decision for you. Mu Zhi, draw up an order for me, so that the Ninth Prince and Qin Mu's daughter can choose a date to get married."

Eunuch Mu bowed and said, "Yes, my servant will do it right away."

"Then Xuan'er, thank you for your kindness." Cen Lizhen said, stood up, and earnestly bowed to the weak emperor on the couch.

The emperor continued: "I am very happy to see you get married. Qin Mu will come to see me later, so I will mention this matter together."

"Thank you, Father!"

The two of them talked again, although the emperor was very weak, most of the words were still spoken by him.Maybe when a person is about to die, there will always be more extra words, and most of them will talk about the past, whether it is related to Cen Lixuan or not.Cen Lixuan just listened, and from time to time he added a few insignificant words, and for a while, the two of them really looked like father and son without any estrangement.

Suddenly, the little eunuch outside came in and preached: "Report to the emperor, Commander Wei asks to see you."

"I don't want to see the minister right now." The emperor lowered his eyes and said.

Cen Lixuan began to persuade: "Yu'er heard that Commander Wei is really in a hurry, father might as well see him."

The emperor hesitated, but nodded after a while: "Let him wait in the main hall."

"The emperor's dragon is not in good health, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay on the bed and move around..." Eunuch Mu hurriedly said.

"I haven't reached the point where I can't walk anymore." The emperor frowned, lifted the quilt and planned to stay on the bed.Cen Lixuan hurriedly supported him, and the little eunuch stepped forward to help him put on his shoes.Cen Lixuan supported the emperor and walked slowly to the main hall of Anshang Hall to sit down in front of a few tables.

After the end, Cen Lixuan stepped forward again and said: "The minister there will take his leave first."

"Nothing, you can stay here." The emperor said.

"Yes."

The little eunuch went out and called Wei Lin in. Wei Lin strode up to the emperor, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My minister, Wei Lin, sees the emperor."

"Excuse me," said the emperor softly.He met Wei Lin many times in the palace, but never said a few words.Originally, the commander of the Forbidden Army was a strong general under Xue Changfeng's command. Later, because of the murder of the eldest prince, he wanted to balance the power of Xue and Wei, so he asked Wei Yuanting to recommend someone to take office.But Wei Yuanting never thought that he would let his son directly into the palace. Sima Zhao's heart was too obvious here.

Therefore, the emperor had a bad impression of Wei Lin.

"What important matter does Commander Wei want to see me?"

"My Majesty, do you still remember Eunuch Jiang who served in the Anshang Hall before?"

"Oh?" The emperor was slightly moved and surprised by what he said.

Jiang also clearly told him that he was a member of the Xue family, but why did Wei Yuanting's son come up to ask him.I only heard Wei Lin continue: "Eunuch Jiang probably has something to express to the emperor, and this minister risked his life to disturb the emperor's rest, just for this."

"Just say it."

"I have caught the real culprit who murdered the eldest prince. Here is his confession." Wei Lin took out the confession from his cuff and submitted it, and then said, "At this moment, he is outside the palace and is being detained by General Xue. You can meet the emperor."

The emperor began his confession with some doubts—he already felt that the relationship between Wei Lin and Jiang Ye was a bit inexplicable, but now that he even brought the Xue family to participate in it, he really couldn't see through it.

The emperor read the confession carefully, and was afraid that he might be blinded by his illness and missed it, so he read it back and forth three times.There was complete silence in the main hall, and everyone did not dare to vent their anger, waiting for the emperor to finish reading.

Every word in the content seemed to add fuel to the suppressed anger in the emperor's heart, making that little flame less and more prosperous, until he took the confession, slapped it hard on the case with his big hand, and was angry. He shouted: "Let Xue Ziqin bring him up! I want to interrogate myself! Cough cough..."

The emperor became emotional in an instant, and after saying this, he began to cough violently.

Wei Lin said, "Yes! General Xue is waiting outside the palace gate!"

"Ahem, pass it on!"

"Yes!"

Xue Ziqin had already waited at the gate of the palace with people under escort after receiving Wei Lin's news.The little eunuch in the Anshang Temple trotted all the way to summon Xue Ziqin, and when Xue Ziqin walked into the palace gate, he heard the sound of heavy armor moving behind him.He turned his head and saw that the man was actually wearing the armor of a great general.

Just as Xue Ziqin looked at that person in puzzlement, thinking carefully about who it could be, Min Qiu leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "That's General Qin Mu."

"Oh..." Xue Ziqin indeed only briefly met Qin Mu in the palace eight or nine years ago, and has long since forgotten his face.He waited for the other party to walk not far from him, and greeted him: "I have seen General Qin."

"Are you..." Qin Mu frowned and asked.

Obviously, the other party also did not remember his appearance.Xue Ziqin was not angry about the difference in status and status, and introduced himself: "I'm Xue Ziqin."

"It turned out to be the young and promising General Xue."

"General Qin praised it absurdly. I don't know why General Qin entered the palace at this time for..."

"Naturally, it was summoned by Holy Spirit." Qin Mu said, raised his hand in front of him, and bowed to the side.

"I see." Xue Ziqin smiled, "Then today will be quite lively."

"What does General Xue mean?"

Xue Ziqin pointed to the person who was detained behind him and said, "I am hereby ordered to detain the serious offender and bring him to the palace for trial."

"It's really lively like this." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he nodded to him, turned around and walked forward without saying goodbye.

Looking at Qin Mu's back, he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't make a mistake, so he had no choice but to lead the people to continue to walk to the Anshang Hall, so he followed Qin Mu, which really made Xue Ziqin feel aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, General Xue and General Qin have arrived."

Hearing the notification from the little eunuch, the emperor didn't respond.Calculating the time, Qin Mu should have entered the palace at this time.But Cen Lixuan's expression changed, and he looked a little bad.

Qin Mu and Xue Ziqin, he doesn't want to see any of them now.

He opened his mouth and said: "Since father and emperor discuss state affairs, then Xuan'er should avoid it first."

The emperor thought he was trying to avoid suspicion, and An An praised him in his heart, but he stayed behind: "It's nothing, you're here, this is also a family matter."

It's not a family matter to mutilate siblings.Wei Lin, who was standing aside and waiting, thought so in his heart, and then Xue Ziqin and Qin Mu entered the main hall one by one. After saluting to the emperor, Xue Ziqin took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, the criminals have been brought."

"Bring it in!"

"Yes."

Niqiu was restrained by Min Qiu, pressed in the Anshang Hall, and knelt down on the ground.

Three days have passed since Wei Lin beat him that day.I don't know if Xue Ziqin greeted him specially, he found a coarse linen cloth and put it on for Nixiu. It was hard to see how his injuries were, but his face was pale, not much better than the emperor.

The emperor stretched out his hand, threw the confession on the ground and asked, "Is what is said in this confession true?!"

Loach didn't even raise his eyes, and nodded stiffly. In order to survive, he completely betrayed his master and said: "Yes..."

"Say it again, is it really Li Jiang's doing?!"

"Yes." Ni Qian still did not change his words, and added a sentence, "I have been with the second prince for five years, and every word in the confession is true. I only ask the emperor to read it for the sake of my abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, and spare my life."

"You tell me clearly, if it is true, I can spare your life."

At first, Wei Lin was a little worried that the loach would turn against the water temporarily, but when the time came to bite them back and "extort a confession by words and deeds, and framed the second prince", things would be a little worse.

As he thought about it, he glanced at Xue Ziqin.

Xue Ziqin seemed to sense it, and gave him a confident smile.

From the looks of it, Xue Ziqin should have done a lot these days.
