Lu Qingzheng understood.

This so-called Ye Junting was just someone Xiao Yingyue pretended to be in order to conceal the news of Ye Junting's death!

What a courage!

However, this means that he has another handle on his hands!

Lu Qingzheng watched the team of Ruilin Army soldiers approaching slowly with a smile on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to see the military power coming slowly!

When the team arrived, Lu Qingzheng stepped forward to greet him in person and found that the fake Ye Junting did not have any charm at all, but his expression was not revealing at all, which gave Prince Rui's palace face under the spotlight.

He personally helped up the fake Ye Junting, praised Xiao Yingyue for being a woman, and expressed his sincere greetings about Ye Zhen's poisoning. He also sent someone to immediately send Ye Zhen to the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Later, he personally held a banquet in honor of General Ruilin and all civil and military officials.

At the banquet, the dancer danced gracefully.

Plates of delicacies and jars of spiritual wine were delivered to the table like flowing water.

Lu Qingzheng spoke beautiful words, and the emperor and his ministers were happy for a while.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Qingzheng glanced at his confidant eunuch Li Eunuch beside him calmly.

Eunuch Li agreed and nodded slightly towards him.

Lu Qingzheng laughed, feeling extremely happy: "Generals, I am deeply gratified that you have made great achievements for Dongling Kingdom. I got a jar of the seventh-grade spiritual wine dragon sobering up, which is said to be extremely rare. I and you Let’s taste it together!”

Eunuch Zhao Eunuch came up with the dragon sobering wine and filled it first for Lu Qingzheng, followed by Ye Junting and Xiao Yingyue, and then gradually to each general of the Ruilin Army.

Lu Qingzheng raised his glass: "Generals, please."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Ye Junting and all the generals saluted together: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the generous gift!"

Then he drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Qingzheng and Eunuch Li looked at each other calmly. Lu Qingzheng picked up the wine glass again, hiding the viciousness in his eyes!

After tonight, there will be no more Prince Rui’s Mansion in Dongling Kingdom!

He will no longer have any shackles in Dongling Kingdom!

The Lu family’s empire is forever solid!

At the end of the banquet, Lu Qingzheng took the initiative to stay with Ye Junting and Xiao Yingyue to talk.

But in fact, Xiao Yingyue was the only one he cared about.

The fake Ye Junting is just to deceive others, just by the way.

When he arrived at the palace where the conversation was taking place, there was no one else present, so he directly put the fake Ye Junting aside.

Fake Ye Junting did not ask for trouble, and stood silently with his head bowed, as if he was just a guard.

Lu Qingzheng sat on the dragon chair and looked at Xiao Yingyue hypocritically: "The general works hard day and night and does everything personally. I think it has been a very hard time."

Xiao Yingyue said: "Your Majesty, I dare not say how hard it is to protect our family and country."

Lu Qingzheng paused for a moment, his eyes a little more unpredictable, "It's just that these shouldn't be your responsibilities. The Ruilin Army's surname should be Ye, not Xiao!"

Xiao Yingyue heard the implication of Lu Qingzheng's words, took a deep breath, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns. But please believe that I will always be loyal to Dongling Kingdom!"

Lu Qingzheng nodded slightly: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... you have to understand that as a monarch, what I need is long-term peace and stability."

He sighed hypocritically: "Marshal Ye and General Ye are no longer able to lead the army. I can't just watch the power of the Ruilin Army fall by the wayside!"

Fake Ye Junting seemed to finally remember that he was still the marshal, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am still here!"

Lu Qingzheng glanced at him expressionlessly: "Do I allow you to interrupt? Stand back!"

Fake Ye Junting silently stepped aside again.

Lu Qingzheng looked at Xiao Yingyue again: "In order to seize the military power of the Ruilin Army, you dared to find someone to pretend to be Marshal Ye and deceive the superiors and subordinates. Xiao Yingyue, do you know your guilt?" Xiao Yingyue quickly knelt down and complained. Sin: "Your Majesty, I did not let anyone pretend to be Marshal Ye, he is Marshal Ye!"

Lu Qingzheng sneered: "Marshal Ye has been poisoned and died a long time ago. Are you really unaware or are you pretending not to know?"

Xiao Yingyue raised her head: "How do you know?"

Seeing Lu Qingzheng's expression, she understood something in panic, and was shocked and angry: "Could it be that you were the one who poisoned Ye Junting with the heart-corrupting Gu? You were also the one who poisoned Ye Zhen?"

Lu Qingzheng laughed sadly: "Yes, it's all me!"

Xiao Yingyue stood up abruptly and asked: "Why? Why do you do this? The Ye family and his son have been soldiers all their lives, risking their lives to defend Dongling Kingdom, but you treat them like this. Are you still the king of a country?"

Lu Qingzheng said sternly: "For the stability of Dongling Kingdom, some sacrifices are necessary!"

Xiao Yingyue was furious: "Is this necessary? You killed them, who will protect the family and the country, and who will protect the stability of Dongling Kingdom?!"

Lu Qingzheng laughed loudly: "They die, but the Ruilin Army will not die! If Ye Junting can rely on the Ruilin Army to protect his family and country, so can I!"

There is nothing Xiao Yingyue doesn't understand: "I only hate that I am blind and loyal to a monarch like you!"

Lu Qingzheng didn't talk nonsense to her anymore: "Hand over the power of the Ruilin Army, and I will spare your life!"

Xiao Yingyue said word by word: "You are dreaming!"

Lu Qingzheng suddenly smiled: "Long Xingjiu, does it taste good?"

Xiao Yingyue was stunned: "What do you mean?"

She tried to use her spiritual power, but found that her whole body's spiritual power was stagnant. Her martial spirit was trapped in the spiritual platform and could not get out at all!

Thinking that all the generals had just drunk Long Xingjiu, Xiao Yingyue's expression changed completely: "You, the majestic king of a country, actually poisoned the palace banquet wine?! Lu Qingzheng, you are more shameless than I thought! You just Aren't you afraid of being reviled by everyone in the world?"

Lu Qingzheng clasped his hands behind his back and said in a soft voice: "History is written by the victors. As long as you die, no one will ever know about it!"

Xiao Yingyue was extremely angry and smiled: "Okay, very good!"

She turned her palm and a sharp sword appeared in her hand. She suddenly raised her hand and stabbed Lu Qingzheng!

But the poison in her body had already taken effect, and she couldn't use any of her spiritual power. Before the sword could reach Lu Qingzheng, Lu Qingzheng hit her in the heart with a backhand and slapped her away on the spot!

boom!

It hit the palace wall hard before rolling down again!

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Xiao Yingyue's lips, and her hands were firmly clasped on the ground: "I'll fight you!"

She was just about to launch another attack when a spiritual aura suddenly rose from the ground, completely enveloping her and the fake Ye Junting in it.

At the same time, the mechanisms on the four walls rang simultaneously.

Only the sound of "quacking" was heard, and the four walls of fine steel pillars fell at the same time, forming a huge iron cage, trapping them inside!

Lu Qingzheng stood outside the cage and looked at Xiao Yingyue: "General Xiao, don't forget that your son is still in the Imperial Hospital."

Xiao Yingyue was extremely angry: "You——"

Lu Qingzheng said slowly: "I will give you a night to think about it carefully. If you are still stubborn at the morning meeting tomorrow, not only your son, but also all the generals of the Ruilin Army will die because of you!"

After Lu Qingzheng left, Ye Junting helped Xiao Yingyue up and wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of her mouth: "Are you okay?"

Lu Qingzheng thought he was fake.

Little did they know, he was real!

He just deliberately made himself look fake!

Xiao Yingyue shook her head and sent a message to him: "Guobao really got it right."

A look of determination appeared in Ye Junting's eyes: "Then just follow the plan!" (End of Chapter)
