Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 462: The Wish Come True and the Palace Beset with Chaos

Xie Wei, who had been preparing for death with a calm expression, suddenly changed his expression. He stared at Cao Cheng intently, as if he wanted to eat Cao Cheng alive.

When Cao Cheng saw the hatred in Xie Wei's eyes, he felt very happy and his face was full of smiles.

With a scream, Xie Wei completely lost his chance as a man. Under such severe pain and blow, he naturally fainted.

"My Lord, the matter has been handled. Xie Wei is now in a coma, but his life is safe." The confidant who had finished the matter came in to report.
"Well, that's good. By the way, what's the situation with Yan Lin now? Is there any movement in the palace?" Cao Cheng asked directly.

"My Lord, the palace gates are now closed, and the imperial guards have climbed up the city walls. There is no sign of them coming out. Over at the Dingguo Mansion, the attack by the Marquis of Yongyi is not going well."

"But he used fierce fire oil later, so he should have taken it down by now." The confidant clasped his fists and said
"Oh? Fiery oil? It seems that Yan Lin is really anxious. But that's fine, let him do whatever he wants. By the way, how is the Xingwu Guard doing?" Cao Cheng continued.
"My Lord, from the Xingwu Guards, people are coming to support the Dingguo Mansion from time to time. As for the remaining ones who have not taken any action, I have already sent people to collect them." The confidant continued
"Well, good, you did a good job. You can go down first. If there is any change, let me know immediately." After hearing this, Cao Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
After hearing this, the confidant naturally expressed his loyalty and then retreated respectfully. After he left, Cao Cheng fell into deep thought.

To be honest, the acupuncture was beyond his expectations. He didn't want to do it at first. After all, according to his plan, he had plenty of time to do it slowly.

But this assassination changed everything. He knew that he couldn't take it slow any longer. If he didn't move faster, others wouldn't give him a chance.

So he had no choice but to do so, and in order to successfully enter the city and purge the court, he even took his wife away with him, which he considered to be a great shame and humiliation.

He will settle this account sooner or later. Although Xie Wei and Xue Yuan have both received the retribution they deserve, there is still a Shen Lang in the guest palace, and he is the one who deserves to die the most!
Meanwhile, Yan Lin, under the attack of fierce kerosene, finally made a breakthrough. He looked at Xue Yuan's family of three being escorted out in front of him, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you old bastard, you didn't expect it, did you? You didn't expect that you would end up like this, did you? Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Yan Lin laughed.
"Yan Lin, you little thief, don't be so arrogant. I'm just leaving first. Cheng'er will definitely avenge us. Sooner or later, you will come down to accompany me!" Xue Yuan shouted
"Revenge? Xue Yuan, stop kidding. What revenge? Didn't you destroy the little affection between you and Cao Cheng a long time ago?"

"Xue Yuan, if he said that he would have avenged you before, but after seeing you in danger, he will no longer help you, let alone take revenge. It's simply laughable!" Yan Lin said
After hearing this, Xue Yuan did not speak for a while, because he knew very well that what Yan Lin said was true, so he did not speak at this time, and at the same time cursed Xie Wei in his heart.

If Xie Wei, the loser, hadn't failed, how could he have ended up like this? He had used all sorts of tricks to deal with himself, but why did he make such a big mistake when it came to Cao Cheng?

An assassination in broad daylight? That would be fine, but he failed in the assassination without any outside support. He is such a loser!

But he knew that no matter how much he cursed, he couldn't change his current situation. Yan Lin would not let him die easily, so he said directly, "Yan Lin, you are a waste. Without Cao Cheng's help, you are nothing. Why did your father raise such a waste like you!"

"But it doesn't matter. Your father died in my hands, so I didn't lose anything, not at all!" Xue Yuan said
"Xue Yuan! You old bastard, shut up! Shut up!" Yan Lin shouted angrily.

"Hahaha, you little thief Yan Lin, you are just a waste, a waste! Hahaha." Xue Yuan laughed
"You! Well, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come on, take Xue Yuan's family away and treat them well! Don't let them die!" Yan Lin said with a sinister look on his face.

After hearing this, the subordinates naturally did not dare to delay, so they directly dragged the family of three away.

At this time, Yan Lin smiled until tears came to his eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "Dad, Mom, your souls in heaven can rest in peace. I will soon send Xue Yuan's family down to make amends to you."

After Yan Lin finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that something was not right. With the whole family together, it was impossible for his cousin to survive from Cao Cheng.

Cao Cheng is an adopted son, so he can be put aside for the time being. But one more person ran away, but it was a pity that he ran to the palace. No, there should be two more.

Thinking of this, Yan Lin knew that if he wanted to send those two away, he probably wouldn't have the chance this time and could only wait until later. But before that, he still had to discuss the aftermath with Cao Cheng.

At this time, the door of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion was naturally closed. Jiang Xuehui was accompanying Shen Zhiyi, and on her other side was Jiang Xuening.

That's right, Jiang Xuening at home finally planned to go out and meet Shen Zhiyi. It's not that she was depressed and wanted to complain, but she might become a concubine in the future.

Naturally, he had to maintain a good relationship with the mistress of the house, but what she didn't expect was that he heard about Cao Cheng's assassination as soon as he arrived at the house.

At that time, she insisted that Jiang Xuehui stay put and conceal the news. After all, Shen Zhiyi was pregnant and could not be stimulated, at least not before there was a definite result.

After that, news came one after another. First, Cao Cheng successfully escaped from the city. Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, news came that the rebels had entered the city.

The last news they knew was from the soldiers sent by the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion outside the mansion, which let them know that Cao Cheng was safe.

At the same time, Jiang Xuening also learned that the people who started the rebellion were Cao Cheng and Yan Lin. Jiang Xuening was naturally very surprised when she first heard the news.

But after the surprise came worry, because since Yan Lin agreed to Cao Cheng, it must be related to the Xue family, otherwise Yan Lin would never agree to join forces.

So, she is now very suspicious, whether Cao Cheng has set a trap for Yan Lin, and whether Yan Lin has fallen into the trap now?

While Jiang Xuening was worried about gains and losses, some situations happened in the palace. At this time, Shen Lang was listening to the news brought back by Wang Xinyi with a frown on his face.

"What did you say? Xue Yuan and Xie Wei were both arrested? Are you sure they are not dead?" Shen Lang asked
"That's right, Your Majesty. Cao Cheng and Yan Lin were not killed. Instead, they were tortured and locked up. I don't think their end will be good." Wang Xinyi said

After hearing this, Shen Lang was silent for a while. He didn't really care about what happened to the two. After all, things were different at this time, and the most important thing at the moment was himself. As long as there was no problem on his side, that was enough. As for the rest, it didn't matter.

But after Xue Shu knew the news, she felt not so good. She just sat there blankly, not moving.

The Queen Mother, like her, did not make any unnecessary moves. After a long while, Xue Shu said, "Aunt, what do you think we should do?"

"What should we do? How should we return the person? It is absolutely impossible to return the person to Yan Lin as soon as he wants. Now we just have to see if Cao Cheng can remember the old friendship." The Queen Mother said
"Aunt, brother, oh no, Cao Cheng condoned Yan Lin's actions this time. Do you think he will still care about our old friendship?" Xue Shu said with a worried look on her face.

"Whether he cares or not, we can only take a gamble now. If he doesn't come, then forget it. But if he does come, go to the palace gate and tell him." said the Queen Mother.
"What? Aunt, did I hear you right? You want me to go? I go? This, Aunt, it's too dangerous in such a chaotic situation. I, I don't dare." Xue Shu said with a wronged look on her face.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just go without worrying about anything. Can Cao Cheng kill you? Have you forgotten what he did to you before?"

"Don't be so nervous. Cao Cheng won't do anything to you." said the Queen Mother
After hearing this, Xue Shu naturally didn't believe it at all. After all, Cao Cheng had already allowed Yan Lin to kill the entire Xue family. Would he let her, a fish that escaped the net, go?
Even if Cao Cheng was willing to spare his life, what about Yan Lin? Would he let him go? Why did he let him go to the palace wall? It was obvious that he was abandoning him.

Although she thought so in her heart, she naturally agreed reluctantly. When the Queen Mother saw this, she smiled and replied a few words, but in fact she despised Xue Shu in her heart.

In her opinion, Xue Shu's current role was just this little bit. If she wasn't willing to do even this, then there was no need for her to support her.

When Xue Shu returned to her room and looked at her son, she made a decision in her heart. She decided to fight for her son.

No, she already had a son at that time, which was why the Queen Mother thought she was useless. After all, a princess who had already given birth to a son was of no use.

After Xue Shu gave her instructions, she slowly walked out of the room, strolled around the garden, and then slowly observed a room.

This room is very special. There are always imperial guards guarding the door. Ordinary people are not allowed to get close to it. Only the empress dowager and the palace maids close to her can enter.

And in this room is the little prince, Shen Lang's last hope.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Marquis Yongyi, Marquis Yongyi is leading a large army towards the palace, and is now outside the palace gate." Wang Xinyi said hurriedly.

"What? What is Yan Lin going to do? Rebellion? Wait, where's Cao Cheng? Did Cao Cheng come with us?" Shen Lang couldn't sit still when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, the troops of Marquis Dingyuan are all in Xie's mansion and did not follow us." Wang Xinyi said

"Huh? Didn't follow? Are you sure he didn't follow?" Shen Lang asked.
"Your Majesty, I am very sure that Marquis Dingyuan's troops did not follow us." Wang Xinyi said

"Hmm? This is strange. Yan Lin dared to attack the imperial city without Cao Cheng's troops coming? Is he crazy? Go and tell them to investigate again." Shen Lang ordered.
After hearing this, Wang Xinyi naturally bowed hurriedly and then retreated. At the same time, the army led by Yan Lin also arrived outside the palace gate.

Following Yan Lin's eye signal, the confidant stepped forward and said loudly, "General, please report to His Majesty that my Lord wants to eliminate Xue Shu, the treacherous woman of the Xue family. I hope His Majesty will approve it."

After hearing this, the imperial guards naturally did not dare to neglect it, so they sent someone to pass the message back directly. Not long after, Shen Lang received the news.

"What? It seems that he is here to ask me for Xue Shu. This is outrageous! He is forcing me to abdicate! Damn Yan Lin, go to the Cining Palace and tell my mother about this." Shen Lang said
After hearing this, Wang Xinyi naturally turned around and went to the Cining Palace, and then the Empress Dowager found out how long it had been.

"Hmm? Well, I know. I will have people prepare it in advance. You go back and tell the emperor to relax. I will take care of it." The Queen Mother said directly
After receiving the reply, Wang Xinyi naturally did not stay any longer and left directly. After he left, the Queen Mother directly ordered, "Huang Renli, leave this matter to you."

After hearing this, Huang Renli said nothing and just bowed and left. Huang Renli did not take this matter to heart, because he had done a lot of such things over the years and nothing had gone wrong.

But he soon lost his joy. "What did you say? What did you say? Where did Princess Linzi go? How did she get in? How could she get in?"

When Huang Renli learned that Xue Shu had actually entered the prince's room, he was immediately frightened.

He forced himself to calm down, slowly walked outside the room and said, "Princess, are you in there? The Queen Mother has something urgent to ask you, can you please go with me?"

"Manager Huang, go back and tell my aunt that this room is very comfortable and I will not be leaving. If there is anything, please let my aunt come over herself."

"By the way, I left my child in the room. I hope you guys can take good care of him and make sure he doesn't get hurt. Okay, Manager Huang, please go back." Xue Shu said slowly.

After hearing this, Huang Renli knew that the situation could not be handled anymore. While Mu Shi sent someone to report to the Queen Mother, he continued to ask Xue Shu to come out on her own.

But unfortunately, he did not succeed in getting Xue Shu to come out until the Queen Mother came.

"Shu'er, your aunt is here. If you have any requests, just tell her. She will agree to all your requests as long as you can come out of the room." The Queen Mother said to the people in the room anxiously.
"Haha, aunt, I don't plan to go out. Your good grandson can't go out either. I will leave my son to you. He will be your only grandson."

"You can handle it yourself when the time comes, hahaha, hahaha." Xue Shu's laughter, accompanied by the baby's crying, slowly sounded and then slowly disappeared.
