"Tsk tsk, Master Hou is a smart man. I still remember someone telling me not to have any thoughts about you. They said that Marquis Chang Xing is surrounded by a cloud of masters, and these soldiers of my king's government are not enough to stand in front of those strange men like you."

As Prince Rui spoke, he pushed the wheelchair up to Shen Yanqing. He grinned ferociously, "But I don't believe in evil. You want to put me to death with all your heart and gather all your subordinates on the Beili envoy." Surroundings, what do you think this king will do to her? This king insists on doing the opposite, and even if he is about to die, you, Shen Yanqing, will have to step up!"

"Who exactly wants to kill whom, Prince Rui must make it clear."

Shen Yanqing met Prince Rui's gaze without fear, and slowly squatted down to meet his gaze, "Do you dare to say that Hu Yanke pretending to be an envoy from Beili and identifying me as the son of Princess Jingyun at the birthday banquet has nothing to do with you? "

"Marquis Changxing, please don't slander me with empty teeth. It is obvious that the steward of your house came to me personally and told me the secrets that I have heard with me. Now it seems that he is talking nonsense. Look, isn't this king also Don't you believe me? But this king still wants to persuade Lord Hou to clean up such unfaithful and unrighteous servants as soon as possible."

Shen Yanqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I never thought that Prince Rui would trust Empress Empress so much, you are so convinced that she will not tell Your Majesty the whole matter of your participation?"

Prince Rui leaned out, leaned close to Shen Yanqing's ear, and said softly: "As long as you are in my hands, as long as you can die, my queen mother will have nothing to refuse."

"Could it be that Prince Rui is not interested in that seat at all? He would rather give up himself to pave the way for the crown prince."

Prince Rui's complexion was slightly unnatural, and his eyes wandered for a moment.

Shen Yanqing understood now, he sneered: "Heh. If that's the case, what is Prince Rui waiting for?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Yanqing stood up and walked in front of the soldiers, "As you said, I don't have a single guard by my side now."

Prince Rui pushed the wheelchair and turned around, waved his hand, "Take it away!"

In front of Prince Rui's mansion.

A servant waited anxiously at the gate, he paced back and forth, he did not show joy until he saw the returning motorcade of Prince Rui, he dashed under the car, and said loudly: "My lord, I have something urgent to report."

Prince Rui lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Come in."

The little servant helped his sleeves and quickly got into the carriage. When he raised his eyes, he saw not only Prince Rui, but also a man in white clothes whose hands and feet were bound. He was stunned for a moment.

Prince Rui raised his eyes and glanced at the dumb boy, "Didn't you report it?"

"Ah! Yes." The servant bowed immediately, but he still glanced at Shen Yanqing from the corner of his eye.

Prince Rui was displeased: "It doesn't matter if he hears it, hurry up and say it!"

The little servant quickly withdrew his gaze, and half-kneeled in front of Prince Rui: "Back, back to the lord, the villain does have something important to report. Our eyeliner in the palace has been removed by someone, the little one, the little one couldn't get in touch Empress Empress."

Hearing this, Prince Rui's expression changed suddenly, he suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at the servant on the ground, the eyes were no different from looking at a dead thing.

But Prince Rui was a capricious person, he stared at death one second, and laughed out loud the next second, his laughter became sharper and sharper, and in the end even Shen Yanqing who was beside him couldn't help frowning.

At this moment, Prince Rui stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Yanqing's chin, "Why, this prince doesn't smile well?"

Shen Yanqing was very disgusted by the sharp pain coming from his chin, he stared at Rong Li with a pair of shallow eyes without emotion: "I didn't expect Prince Rui to be self-aware."

The corner of Prince Rui's mouth twitched indistinctly, he threw Shen Yanqing's face away, and pointed at the boy: "This time you are lucky, otherwise if he opens his mouth, you will die!"

"Pass down the order, this king will enter the palace in person!"

"Yes!"

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his head, and then glanced at Chang Xinghou whose chin was slightly red.

The prince can't bring this person into the palace, can he?

He pointed to Shen Yanqing: "My lord, then this..."

"Put him in a dungeon for me!"

When Shen Yanqing was taken away by Prince Rui, Shen Lingyuan rushed to the gate of Xinxia city alone, but he was stopped by someone as soon as he entered the gate.

He got off his horse and looked at the court lady who was wearing a plain white pleated dress but not wearing any makeup, frowning slightly.

"Why did the girl stop me?"

The female officer is tall and tall, her hair can reach Shen Lingyuan's chin in a bun, her almond eyes are very sharp, she has been looking at Shen Lingyuan, and when someone asks a question, she snorts softly.

"You are Lu Hui?"

"Yes."

This person most likely came from the palace, and what she asked was a pseudonym, so Shen Lingyuan did not deny it, and while the woman was looking at him, he was also looking at the female official in front of him.

Although this girl was rude and arrogant, but there was a vague fragrance of magnolia flowers on her body, which reminded him of the woman who handed him a magnolia flower handkerchief at Xingdi's birthday banquet, so Shen Lingyuan had to treat it with caution.

But Shen Lingyuan never thought that the woman he was staring at would disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye, and when Shen Lingyuan realized it again, there was a burst of wind behind him.

Shen Lingyuan subconsciously turned around, blocked it with his arms, and kicked his palm, but it was the lady officer's sweeping kick.

Seeing that Shen Lingyuan took her own move, the female officer was surprised for a moment, she retracted her leg, and praised abruptly: "It's not bad."

After finishing speaking, she patted her hands again, and waved to Shen Lingyuan, "Come with me."

Shen Lingyuan was full of doubts at the moment, he frowned, and quickly ran to stop the woman, "What do you mean, girl?"

The female officer also stopped in her tracks, with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself to you, my name is Han Yue, and I am the deputy commander of Ye Lin, please don't tell me that you don't even know what Ye Lin is. "

How could he not know about Ye Lin who killed Uncle Wang's family and his family.

Shen Lingyuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he clasped his fists and said, "So it's Commander Han, but I still don't understand, what do you mean by blocking me at this city gate?"

"What do you mean? It's His Majesty's intention that I come here!" Hanyue showed an impatient expression, she stepped forward, pointed at Shen Lingyuan's chest with her finger, "Boy, Your Majesty said it himself, as long as you can live When he comes back, he will fulfill his promise to hand over the city inspector of the new building to you, of course, it’s up to you to decide whether to do so, if you want, just come with me!"

After Hanyue finished speaking, Shen Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Apart from Ying'er, even Mr. Xu and his wife didn't know about the fact that he rushed back to Xinxia during the starry night. How did Xingdi know?

This time he sent Hanyue who was supposed to be hiding in the dark to pick him up again. Is there another meaning behind this, or is it just a coincidence?

An ominous premonition lingered in Shen Lingyuan's mind. He quickly caught up with Hanyue and asked tentatively, "Commander Han, I am naturally willing to take over the city inspector, but if possible, can you let me go back to Marquis first?" Take a look at the mansion, and then go to the Ministry of War with you?"

Han Yue glanced at Shen Lingyuan and said with a sneer: "Master Lu, I have heard that your relationship with Lord Hou is unusual, but it is His Majesty's order to take you to the Ministry of War to hand over, so I don't need to tell you which is more important."

Shen Lingyuan lowered his eyes: "I understand."

Shen Lingyuan didn't know Hanyue's martial arts before, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a while, so he had to follow the female commander all the way to the Ministry of War, where he handed over the job of patrolling the city to a sixty-year-old veteran.

The imperial guards under the command of Gao Zhan are mainly responsible for guarding the safety of the palace, while the inspector of the city focuses on the security in Xinxia City and the four major gates in the east, west, north, south, and north.

The relationship among the City Patrol Division is complicated and divided into three major military camps: Yong Camp, Green Camp, and Defense Army. The old commander's "respectful instruction" lasted for nearly two hours, and that Ye Lin's Hanyue was watching him all the time, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't escape.

When the veteran finally finished speaking and handed over the roster, the two left from the Ministry of War and were about to go to the General Camp of the City Patrol Division. The sun that was originally born had already reached the top of his head, and very unluckily bumped into the person who had come out of the spirit.

The funeral procession was led by two eunuchs, four porters carried the coffin, followed by four maids scattered paper money, which seemed out of place in this autumn afternoon.

Shen Lingyuan frowned, "The person who died was from the palace? Why did you send him to the funeral at noon?"

Han Yue watched the funeral procession go away expressionlessly, then turned her head and said to Shen Lingyuan in a nonchalant tone, "The one who died is the queen."

"What?" Shen Lingyuan suddenly widened his eyes.

At the same time, Prince Rui, who was in a hurry to Cold Spring Palace, was also shocked. He stared at the courtyard covered with white silk, and at the maid who was kneeling and crying in front of him, his face was full of disbelief: "Empress, are you dead?"

The court lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said sobbingly, "Go back to the lord. My mother said that my crime is unforgivable, and only death can atone for it. Yesterday morning, she was hanged in the hall with a white silk."

Prince Rui's face turned pale in an instant. He leaned on the handle of the wheelchair and asked impatiently: "Then what did the emperor say? What are the people in the Ministry of Rites doing? The death of the empress is such a big deal, the palace... No mourning? No funeral?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that the empress will not ask about ten deaths, only the title of queen is reserved, no spirit cards are allowed, and funerals are not allowed. Even the corpses are not allowed to be kept until tomorrow, and they were just carried out. They said yes, even the mausoleum. access."

"The spirit at noon? Is the father crazy?"

Prince Rui murmured and leaned weakly on the back of the chair, while the attendant beside him hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "My lord, are you alright?"

Prince Rui stretched out his hand to wave away the attendants, swallowed, and continued to ask the court lady, "Did the empress say anything before she died? Or... plead guilty?"

The court lady seemed to be stopped by the question, raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and thought for a while before she said, "Your Majesty wrote a letter from Your Majesty before she died. I remember Eunuch Cao said something before he left. What should not be said, the empress has said."
