Chapter 121 Death in battle
That night, Shen Qingtang and Fu Yong sneaked into the governor's mansion. At this time, the governor Zhao Xin had already gone to bed.

Shen Qingtang looted many elixirs from the Imperial Hospital. She blew a puff of smoke into the hospital. Under the effect of the high-level smoke, Zhao Xin fainted completely.

Shen Qingtang and Fu Yong climbed in through the window. She drew out her magic sword and slashed Zhao Xin's neck with one blow.

Under Fu Yong's surprised gaze, Shen Qingtang opened the secret room in the house and found all the letters between Zhao Xin and Dong Ling.

"This!" Fu Yong stared at Shen Qingtang in amazement and exclaimed in a low voice, "Princess, how did you know there is a secret room here?"

Her Royal Highness is simply amazing! And she just killed someone cleanly and without mercy.

Fu Yong admitted that he had indeed underestimated the princess before.

Shen Qingtang lied without blushing or beating his heart: "It was discovered by General Lu's men."

General Lu? Could it be Lu Jiuan?

Fu Yong nodded slightly: "I see."

Although General Fu was framed by treacherous people in the court, the Fu family has an excellent reputation in Huizhou. With the evidence in Shen Qingtang's hands, it will be easier for them to do things in the future.

On the second day, Shen Qingtang brought General Fu and Fu Yong to the governor's mansion, laid out the evidence in front of everyone, and then let General Fu temporarily take over the position of governor in the name of the princess.

The enemy is about to attack. Anyone can be the governor as long as he can protect the safety of the people.

Not to mention the deeply popular General Fu.

Shen Qingtang: "General Fu, I'll leave this to you. I need to go back and take charge of the situation."

"There is still no news from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Your Highness, you must protect your own safety. Otherwise, I will let Yong'er escort you back?" General Fu looked worried.

Shen Qingtang raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need. Your most important task now is to resist the enemy. It will be much more convenient for me to act alone."

"Take these things and make sure to protect the safety of the people."

Shen Qingtang raised her hand and waved, and more than a dozen boxes appeared in front of everyone. They were filled with spiritual stones, spiritual medicines, etc., which she had cheated from the Dog Emperor before.

Seeing this, everyone knelt down towards Shen Qingtang, their eyes were firm and their voices were strong.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

"We will do our utmost to resist the enemy!"

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work later." Shen Qingtang said and turned to leave.

After Shen Qingtang left, Fu Yong helped General Fu up and said, "Dad, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you shouldn't work too hard. You should recuperate at home and let me do all these things."

General Fu looked at Fu Yong with loving eyes: "Yong'er, Dad knows that you are a good and filial child, but at this time, Dad cannot back down. It was the princess who saved my life, and I will repay her with my own death."

Fu Yong clenched his fists and stopped trying to dissuade him. "Okay, Dad, your son will go with you!"

Fu Yong turned around and looked at his wife and daughter beside him. His life was worth it!

Shen Qingtang disguised herself as a man and returned to a dense forest outside the imperial city. Fortunately, no one followed her along the way.

A psychedelic array was set up in the dense forest, and Shen Qingtang walked in with ease.

Hidden in the formation are a group of guards with powerful magic powers. They were Lu Jiuan’s former loyal subordinates.

Before leaving the imperial city, Shen Qingtang went to find Lu Jiuan and asked him to find a way to take a team of people out of the imperial city.

Lu Jiuan knew that Shen Qingtang wanted to seize the throne, and he was willing to lend her a helping hand, so he obeyed Duan Ci's order and took advantage of the situation to leave the imperial city.

After Shen Qingtang left the imperial city, Lu Jiuan had been worried about Shen Qingtang's safety. Now that he saw her return safely, he could finally put down his heart.

When Shen Qingtang came back, Lu Jiuan was training guards. These guards were all Lu Jiuan's confidants and were excluded just like Lu Jiuan.

Everyone bowed respectfully to Shen Qingtang. "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

They all knew the news that something had happened to the emperor and the empress. They had long been dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor favored treacherous and flattering people and alienated wise ministers. The emperor could die, but Fengyin Country must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

They are not fools, and they know clearly in their minds that General Lu is going to surrender to the princess!
Although they did not have much contact with Shen Qingtang, they believed in Lu Jiuan's judgment and they also chose to join the princess!

Lu Jiuan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Fourth Princess, you didn't encounter any danger on this trip, did you?"

Shen Qingtang shook his head: "I'm fine."

Lu Jiuan looked at Shen Qingtang furtively, and seeing that she was indeed fine, he continued to ask: "What about General Fu's illness?"

"General Fu's illness has been cured." Shen Qingtang smiled.

"The Fourth Princess is so powerful!" Lu Jiuan felt sincere admiration for Shen Qingtang. In this way, there would be a general to resist the Dongling Kingdom.

Fu family, Lu Jiuan is trustworthy!
"General Lu, is there any news about my eldest brother and second brother?" Shen Qingtang asked.

[It's been several days, what on earth have they been doing? ]

Lu Jiuan's expression suddenly became solemn. It was better not to let his brothers know this news.

"Fourth Princess, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Lu Jiuan and Shen Qingtang walked into the tent next to them. Lu Jiuan lowered his head and spoke slowly: "Fourth Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has..."

"What's wrong with him?" Shen Qingtang asked impatiently.

"On the day when the emperor was killed, the Beiming Kingdom also launched a war. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died on the battlefield before he could receive the news. Xiao Hening secretly followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the north. After hearing the news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's death, she also committed suicide." Lu Jiuan's face became increasingly heavy.

Shen Qingtang sat on the chair, his hand holding the teacup paused slightly.

[Shen Junlin really died on the battlefield. 】

[I just didn't expect Xiao Hening to like Shen Junlin so much that she was willing to live and die with him. ]

[I have some respect for them for this.]

[However, based on what they did to me before, they deserve this outcome.]

"My eldest brother is so pitiful. The people of Fengyin will always remember him." Shen Qingtang looked sad and slowly put down the teacup. "What about my second brother?"

"The second prince's whereabouts are still unknown." Lu Jiuan replied.

"Missing?" Shen Qingtang murmured softly.

[According to Shen Chengyu's personality, he would definitely go to his friend for help. Unfortunately, his friend is a spy from the enemy country. He might have been killed now.]

[No, Duan Ci and the others must have known that Shen Junlin was dead. They haven't taken the next step yet, which proves that Shen Chengyu is not dead yet.]

Shen Qingtang suddenly had an idea and came up with a good idea.

"General Lu, to capture a thief, we must first capture the leader. Tomorrow night, I will pretend to be the second emperor and lead Duan Ci and his men out of the imperial city. You will follow me to kill Duan Ci and his men, and let Guard Captain Luo take this opportunity to lead the guards to recapture the imperial city."

Luo Feng is one of Lu Jiuan's capable subordinates. He has great magical powers and is a famous master in the imperial city. Shen Qingtang feels relieved to have him leading the troops to fight.

Lu Jiuan: "The Fourth Princess's idea is good, but it may not be enough for the two of us alone. The three of them are used to using underhanded tricks to hurt others. I am worried about your safety, and I am a little short of manpower at the moment."

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. This is the only thing I can do." Shen Qingtang looked up at him, "Don't worry about the manpower. The soldiers transferred from the neighboring county should be here by tomorrow night."

Lu Jiuan was a little surprised: "The support came so quickly?"

He suddenly realized: "Fourth Princess, could it be that before you left the Imperial City, you guessed that the Emperor would be..."

The voice stopped abruptly and Lu Jiuan kept silent. How could he forget that the fourth princess could predict the future?
