After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 159

"Presumptuous." Wan Qiqian's eyes turned cold, and the jade ornaments on the table for playing with rose into the air and hit Yu Linglong's knee, "If the Emperor of Shu doesn't know how to discipline his daughter, then I don't mind teaching him a lesson. you."

Yu Linglong knelt on the ground with one knee, a look of severe pain appeared on her face.

Yu Huaiyin's eyes flickered, "Second Sister Huang was pampered and grew up since she was a child. She is quite flamboyant in her actions and offended by her words. I hope you will forgive me."

Wan Tengqian tapped the armrest with his fingers, and his eyes fell on Yu Huaiyin with unclear meaning, "Then what do you think, how should I handle this matter?"

Yu Huaiyin paused, "The truth of the matter has not been found out, and it is not known whether the second emperor sister did these things, but since I have contact with Xishu, I, Xishu, will naturally apologize. We are willing to increase it to 30 taels."

As soon as the words fell, Wan Chengqian sneered, "30 taels? You mean, the life of Queen Mother Nanxiao is only worth 10 taels?"

Yu Huaiyin frowned, "Your Majesty, if Huaiyin's guess is correct and you didn't publicize the matter, it's actually because you don't want to make too much trouble with Xishu, right?
Nan Xiao has fought with Xishu and Mengdan successively, and his strength is not as good as before. If you really want to fight, Xishu may not lose. "

"Western Shu will definitely lose." Wei Xingzhi continued this sentence with certainty, "Nanxiao is insufficient in national power, but Nanxiao is located in the Central Plains, and the number of people alone is half more than yours in Xishu. The common people will not raise their swords and guns to defend their homes and the country?"

Wei Xingzhi walked in front of Yuhuaiyin, "Your military strength in Western Shu is not strong, and I, the Southern Owl, can win even if it is exhausted. It's just that your majesty is kind and unwilling to start a war at this time, causing the people to suffer from war, but If you Xishu don't know how to play, I, Nanxiao, will fight to the end."

Yu Huaiyin was silent for a while.

Nan Xiao has a vast land and abundant resources, and it is for this reason that they want to occupy Nan Xiao's place.

Wan Tengqian said, "The fifth prince only looks at one and not the other, how can he know that he will not end up in the same end as the second prince."

Yuhuai's eyebrows twitched fiercely, "Xishu can't afford so much silver at this time."

Wan Chengqian chuckled, "That's easy, cede the land to pay compensation, and kill people to pay for their lives."

Eight words are enough to make people tremble.

Looking at Wan Chengqian's cold expression, Yu Linglong finally sensed that something was wrong.

"It's not me. I didn't let anyone kill your queen mother. Someone must have framed me. Their purpose is to destroy the relationship between Nanxiao and Xishu. Who will benefit the most from Nanxiao and Xishu's breakup?"

"It's Mengdan!" Yu Linglong asked and answered, "Yeluqina must have framed me, I don't believe he has nothing to do with this matter."

Wei Xingzhi squatted down, "That's really a coincidence, the emperor sent someone to check the whereabouts of Yeluqina and the people around him in the past few days, as well as the contacts of people, and no one has the slightest relationship with the people in the Nanxiao Palace. .”

"That's impossible..." Yu Linglong shook her head, "It's not Mengdan, it's Beijiang, and Chu, why should they all depend on this princess."

Wei Xingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then you have to ask why this person killed you, besides, Nan Xiao found physical evidence that the second princess contacted this person in the residence of the second princess, and the second princess has to admit it if she doesn't recognize it. "

Yu Linglong's eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking carefully about some physical evidence, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why, and then she looked at Yu Huaiyin, "Hurry up and think of a way, did this princess do it? It should be the clearest..."

Yu Huai lowered her head and said nothing.

Wan Qiqian said indifferently, "I remember that there are four sealed cities under the name of the second princess, which were bestowed by the Emperor of Shu. I don't want more, but only two. Please trouble the fifth prince to bring a letter to the Emperor of Shu. If not, then I, Nan Xiao Stand still and wait for the battle."

A stern light flashed in Yu Huai's eyes, he wanted two of the four, and he still had 20 taels of silver.

This emperor is really not easy.

If you want too much, Xishu will definitely not agree to it. If you want less, you feel that you are at a loss. The two closed cities happen to be stuck in the middle.

After a pause for a long while, Yu Huai Yin said, "Then my second sister..."

Wan Qiqian raised his eyes, "Killing pays for life."

Yu Linglong was shocked, "You can't kill me, I'm the second princess of Xishu, if I sacrifice my life to Nan Xiao, can you stop everyone in the world?"

Wan Qiqian glanced at her without changing his expression, "Come here, imprison Yu Linglong in Dali Temple and beheaded at the waiting place."

Yu Huaiyin's lips moved, but she never spoke.

Wan Tengqian looked at several officials headed by Mr. Liu again, "My dear friends, if you have any opinions on this matter, please share them together."

"I don't dare." Lord Liu's legs were shaking like chaff, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.

Wan Chengqian pinched the center of his brows wearily, "Then step back."

-

In Fengqi Palace, Cheng Wansu was dressed in plain clothes, with a plain white peony on her hair, no makeup on her face, her eyes were red and swollen, but she had no emotion at all.

Although his face was haggard, he was very vicious.

The red charcoal in the hall was blown brightly and dimly by the cold wind that penetrated, the maids and eunuchs were all waiting outside, only Heng Wu knelt on one side to serve Cheng Wansu.

About an hour later, Cheng Wansu said, "It's been so long, there's not a single movement outside, Hengwu, go and have a look."

Before Heng Wu got up, a palace maid came in from outside, "The empress is here, I am afraid that things have changed in the imperial study. The emperor not only invited the courtiers who were kneeling at the gate of the palace, but also the second princess of Xishu and the fifth prince." Enter the palace."

Cheng Wansu frowned, "The result."

The court lady's face changed slightly, "The emperor ordered the second princess of Xishu to be imprisoned in Dali Temple and beheaded while waiting. As for those ministers...knowing that the death of the empress dowager is related to Xishu, all of them kept silent and dared not Speak, now I have left the palace."

Cheng Wansu's eyes darkened a bit, and his pale lips moved slightly, "I really can't see through the emperor more and more."

She waved her hand to signal the maid to step back.

Heng Wu knelt down beside Cheng Wansu, "Madam, that woman won't confess to Madam, right? If the emperor knows that Madam arranged for that woman to enter the palace, then Madam... the crime of assassinating the Empress Dowager is a capital crime."

Cheng Wansu leaned back on the soft couch, "Don't worry, I have her son's life in my hands, she dare not confess me."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand why your Majesty insists on killing the Empress Dowager and King Duan and blaming the Second Princess. This may not be a good thing for Xishu or your Majesty."

Cheng Wansu looked down at her, and said after a while, "Hengwu, you followed me after you came to Nanxiao from this palace, I don't know what kind of life I lived in Xishu Palace... The good imperial sister of the palace, she bullied me when she was in Xishu, and now she is in Nanxiao, and she still wants to grab a man from me, how can I do what she wants."
