Li Jing frowned and listened to Shao Yue's story of the year. It turned out that five years ago, people from their village went hunting in the mountains and rescued a person on the mountain.

The people in the village carried the person back to the village. After finding the doctor, the doctor examined her. At that time, the person was seriously injured and there was almost no intact skin on his body. However, under the doctor's treatment, the person's physical condition gradually improved. stabilize.

The people in the village are very simple. In order to recover from her injury as soon as possible, many people gave her eggs and the only prey they had at home to replenish her body.

But one night, the village was surrounded by a group of men in black. The men in black captured the villagers and asked them to hand over the man.

The people didn't know what was going on, and they were silenced by the man in black before they could say anything.

Those people hacked and killed all the way, regardless of the elderly and children, and killed anyone they saw, until someone said that the person was at the doctor's house, and the men in black went straight to the doctor's house. When they saw the person lying on the bed, the person Before he had time to react, his throat was sealed with a sword.

The doctor's family was also killed. I don't know what secret the man in black was trying to hide. He directly killed the entire village, and set fire to the entire village when he left.

Shao Yue and the others saw thick smoke billowing from the village on the mountain, and they knew something had happened. This was different from the smoke from cooking. The smoke was pitch black. When they hurried back to the village, they saw the whole village. Shrouded in smoke and fire.

They fetched water to save people, but in the face of the prairie fire, the buckets in their hands seemed to be too weak.

They watched helplessly as their relatives cried out for help in the fire, but they could do nothing. The fire burned for three days. When the fire was extinguished, they entered the village and found their relatives burned beyond recognition in the fire.

They wanted to ask what was going on, but the relatives could no longer respond to them.

They collected the remains of the whole village and buried them in the mountain depression. When they transported the villagers' remains to the mountain, they suddenly saw a token held tightly in a person's hand. Since the person's body was found Looking at the place where the doctor lived in the village, they saw that the person was not a member of the doctor's family, so they could be sure that she was rescued by the villagers.

None of them thought that just because a villager accidentally saved one person, it would cost the lives of the entire village.

They kept that token all the time, just so that one day they would be able to apologise to the villagers, so as to comfort their mothers' spirits in heaven.

Shao Yue took out the token, and after seeing it, Li Jing couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He was very familiar with this token, he had seen it on the bodyguard next to Princess Xinyang.

It is very likely that this token was randomly torn off by the guard when he was struggling to kill the man.

And the guards had long been prepared to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, even if they found that the token was missing, they didn't take it to heart at all.

"Don't worry, the king promised you this matter, and he will definitely give you the truth."

Li Jing didn't expect so many lives in the hands of Princess Xinyang. This is something that a princess of a country can do.

As a princess, not only does she not love her people, but she treats them like livestock and can be disposed of at will. Any reason can become an inducement for her to kill.

How can such a bloodthirsty and brutal person deserve such a noble position.

"Thank you, my lord." Shao Yue thanked him gratefully, Li Jing called Xing Bai and handed him the token.

"You investigate."

If it is confirmed that the eldest princess of Xinyang did this, even if she is the eldest princess, Li Jing will give Shao Yue and the others an explanation.

After Xingbai left, Li Jing and Shao Yue talked about other things. Li Jing admired Shao Yue's character very much.

Even in the face of great temptation, he can always maintain his original intention, which is the most valuable quality.

Soon to be in the capital, Shao Yue has always been resistant to it. After the shadow guard came to meet him, Shao Yue stayed at the inn where he was staying and waited for news from Li Jing.

Li Jing didn't ask him why he didn't go to the capital, and since it was inconvenient for him to explain, he didn't ask any further.

After saying goodbye to each other, Li Jing set out on the road, with shadow guards opening the way ahead, and defeated several waves of people who came to try to rob the new king of Haoyue Kingdom.

Li Jing and others successfully entered the capital city, and Princess Xinyang was imprisoned in the prison for collaborating with the enemy.

As for the new ruler of Haoyue Kingdom, even though he committed the crime of blowing up the capital, he is the ruler of Haoyue Kingdom after all, so he can only treat each other with courtesy.

Just when the new emperor didn't know where to arrange him, Li Jing proposed to let him live in Prince Jing's mansion temporarily.

In this way, on the one hand, you can watch him closely, but it is not easy to make small moves under his nose if you want to pass on news to the new Lord of Haoyue Kingdom.

His proposal just touched the emperor's heart, "Then fourth brother will have to work hard."

The new emperor is very grateful to Li Jing, for everything he has done to help him consolidate his position, the new emperor is very grateful.

It's just that maybe he became an emperor, and many words clearly came to his lips, but he couldn't say them easily like before.

Li Jing patted the new emperor's shoulder comfortingly, "Brother and I don't have to be polite. I've been away for a few days, and Yuexi must be worried. I'll go back to the house to keep safe, and we can discuss things later."

He greeted the new emperor, and the new emperor agreed indifferently.

"Go back quickly, the fourth brother and sister are heavy now, if there is no important matter in the future, the fourth brother will stay with the fourth brother and sister in the mansion."

The new emperor also hopes so. After all, Cui Yuexi's belly is getting bigger day by day, even he looks worried. After all, on Li Jing's side, as long as Cui Yuexi is safe and sound, it will be a good time for the world to be peaceful.

Once Cui Yuexi had any problems with the child in her stomach, even he didn't know how to appease his anger.

When Li Jing came out of Qichen Hall, he saw Eunuch Ni waiting outside. Seeing Li Jing coming out, Eunuch Ni hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager asked the servants to wait for you here, and specifically asked the servants to bring these supplements back to the princess."

Eunuch Ni waved his hand, and a young eunuch came to Li Jing with two stacks of supplements.

"Leave it to Xingchuan, the king will go with you to pay respects to the queen mother."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Just as he was passing the imperial garden, he suddenly heard a familiar voice speak harshly.

"What about the Empress Dowager Dongxi? I ​​didn't see how harmonious they were in the past. Now the new emperor needs to rely on the help of Prince Jing, so their motherly love will be so self-deprecating to curry favor with the Empress Dowager mother and son."
