Chapter 321 Pardon
Chapter 321 Pardon
I saw him quickly press the mechanism of the hidden weapon on his wrist.
With a flash of silver light, a small sleeve arrow came rushing towards me.
Shang Ruoyi sensed the danger coming, she wanted to dodge, but her feet could not move at all.
He Jingheng frowned, flew up and grabbed the arrow.
Just when everyone's hearts were hanging in the air, Wang Zheng raised a bloodthirsty smile, and the next moment, an extremely thin silver needle shot out from the sleeve arrow and pierced towards Shang Ruoyi's heart.
This unexpected change surprised everyone.
Shang Ruoyi didn't care about anything else and was about to hide in the space when she suddenly found that she had lost contact with the space.
what happened?
Before I could think about it, the silver needle was already within reach.
Just then, two familiar figures appeared in front of her.
It turned out to be Yingxue and Xunmei.
The silver needle went straight into Yingxue's body.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Yingxue's body fell backwards, her eyes closed, and she was unconscious.
Shang Ruoyi was anxious, but her consciousness gradually became confused, and the next moment her consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Shang Ruoyi slowly woke up.
"Is this space?" She rubbed her dizzy head and tried to sit up from the grass. She struggled for a long time but couldn't move at all. She sighed in frustration. This time she was exhausted, probably because she had used too many things in the space and didn't know what the situation was outside.
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling her body's strength gradually recovering in the space. She felt tired and her head became more and more dizzy.
Forget it, I've been tense for so long, it's time to have a good rest.
Her consciousness completely disappeared into darkness, and the outside world was in complete chaos.
After she fainted, He Jingheng seemed to have gone mad. All the deputy generals and soldiers of Wang Zheng's lineage were strangled to death by the Tieyu Guards. King Qi and his soldiers wanted to stop them, but they did not have the courage to speak. After all, He Jingheng was already bloodthirsty.
The King of Qi was terrified. Although he had fought with He Jingheng before, he had never fought face to face with the Iron Feather Guards. Seeing 20,000 soldiers being slaughtered by thousands of Iron Feather Guards in a short period of time, he realized the horror of the Dingguo Palace.
The King of Qi withdrew all the soldiers stationed in Qingzhou. At this time, the actual jurisdiction of Qingzhou had fallen into the hands of He Jingheng.
Before Tianshun's troops arrived, Qingzhou had already been returned to Tianshun.
After looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianshun swept the ginseng soup handed to him by the maid to the ground with a grim face. Wen Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even dare to raise his head. He wished he couldn't even breathe, for fear of angering the emperor and losing his life.
"Call Situ Wen to me!"
"Your Majesty, General Situ has been ill since returning from Qingzhou. It is said that he was poisoned by some strange poison. The imperial physician has examined him many times, but he still has not gotten better."
"Where's Zhou Xiang? Bring him here! He was the one who promised me that there would be absolutely no problems with the Dingwang Palace. I will punish him for deceiving the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou Xiang was also hit just like General Situ..."
"Tell them, even if we have to carry them, we must make them roll over to see me!"
"Yes!"
Wen Gang quickly retreated. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that his head would really be moved away.
At this time, Shangnian and the Duke of Zhenguo came to ask for an audience with Emperor Tianshun.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I heard that the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang have retreated and Qingzhou has been returned to Tianshun. The small country in Southern Xinjiang must have been impressed by Your Majesty's majesty, so it returned Qingzhou intact to Zhao." After Shangnian finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze coming from him. His body trembled. Did he say something treasonous? He thought carefully about what he had just said. It was full of flattery. There should be nothing that offended the emperor!
The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at him with a rather unpleasant expression. The old man Shangnian actually said what he wanted to say. At this moment, he noticed that the emperor's face was extremely dark, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, what happened to the emperor today?
"Congratulations?" Emperor Tianshun sneered, "Where does this joy come from?"
Shangnian paused for a moment, then said quickly, "Of course, Qingzhou will be returned intact to Zhao, and the people will be spared the suffering of war. The people will live and work in peace and contentment, which will be of great benefit to the court. Your Majesty will not have to worry too much. It can be said that it is a blessing in disguise!"
"Haha, the jade is returned intact to Zhao, the jade is returned intact to Zhao!" He said in a cold voice: "Minister Shang is right, the jade is indeed returned intact to Zhao, but don't forget, this world belongs to the He family! It is my world, not He Jingheng's! It doesn't belong to the Dingguo Palace!"
Shangnian was shocked when he heard this. What does this have to do with the Dingguo Palace?
"Look, look!" He threw the document off the table.
The Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly picked it up, glanced through it, and exclaimed, "What a rebellion! What a rebellion! It's actually the Iron Feather Guard! Didn't they say that the Iron Feather Guard had disappeared? How could they reappear? And they appeared quietly in Qingzhou."
When Shangnian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He walked forward and after taking a look, his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
What's going on?
He knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this! Since the birth of that rebellious girl, I have never taken care of her. I don't know anything about this. Please understand!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shang is in the capital, so he must not know about the exile." The Duke of Zhenguo said in a low voice: "Prime Minister Shang has devoted himself to the court. Please understand, Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianshun was furious, but the court was in need of people at that time, and he agreed to marry Shang Ruoyi, the concubine's daughter, to He Jingheng.
Who could have thought that a mere concubine's daughter could have such great abilities.
Just then, the eunuch came to report that Crown Prince He Lingsheng wanted to see him.
Emperor Tianshun nodded: "Let him in!"
As soon as He Lingsheng walked into the imperial study, he saw two people kneeling on the ground and a pile of broken ginseng soup not far away.
"My son, I will meet my father."
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Father."
He Lingsheng stood up, looked at his still livid face, and whispered, "I heard about it on the way here."
"What do you think?"
"I think we should restore the titles of the people in Dingguo Palace, reinstate them to their original positions, and recall them from their exile." He Lingsheng said in a low voice: "It's better to have them under our noses than to be far away in the border areas."
Upon hearing this, Duke Zhenguo and Shangnian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Prince, this cannot be allowed! How can you pardon the crime of Prince Dingguo and let him return to the capital when he plotted treason?"
He Lingsheng did not reply, but just looked at the emperor and said in a low voice: "Please let your father make the decision."
Emperor Tianshun frowned and whispered, "Just follow what the prince says!"
Indeed, rather than allowing them to expand secretly in the border areas, perhaps it won't take many years for him to let them sit on the throne.
