Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 280 Secret 1
Inside the Palace of Mercy.

Empress Dowager Deng looked at the handsome young man kneeling in front of her, with anger in her eyes, full of hatred for iron and steel.

"For the sake of a woman, at this time, I left behind the war in the Northland and came here all night."

Empress Dowager Deng sullenly said sharply, "How can you be worthy of those old ministers who have endured humiliation and made plans for you all these years!"

Xiao Shangyan lowered his eyes and said, "Auntie, I was wrong."

After a pause, he said, "Auntie, where is she?"

Empress Dowager Deng's hands were shaking with anger, "Wrong, do you act like you know it's wrong?"

She led a group of old officials of Dayan Kingdom to hibernate for so many years, and she even did not hesitate to poison the emperor of Ling Kingdom to buy time for this nephew to ascend the throne and restore the country.

But this nephew was fine, and when he heard that Ling Junxing had been poisoned and passed out, he was afraid that she would do harm to the third princess.

At such a juncture, he came to Buyedu in person, and he must pick up the third princess, how could he not make her very angry!
How many people and years of expectations are on this child's body, and he actually risked himself in such a way that he didn't know the severity!

If it wasn't for the urgent letter from Beidi, she would secretly order someone to investigate Xiao Shangyan's whereabouts, and take him to the palace when he entered Night City, fearing that he would not even know he was in danger.

Facing Queen Mother Deng's anger, Xiao Shangyan just knelt down and remained silent.

"You go back to Pingliang City immediately. The restoration of the Great Yan Kingdom is imminent, and you won't be allowed to mess around."

Empress Dowager Deng looked cold and stern, "The painstaking efforts of so many years must never be lost, and there must be no mistakes."

She waved her hand, and immediately someone stepped forward, supported Xiao Shangyan, and said in a low voice, "Young master, let's go."

Xiao Shangyan didn't move, and said persistently: "Auntie, I promise you, I will return to Pingliang immediately, but at least let me see her before leaving."

Empress Dowager Deng stared at the obsessed nephew in front of her, her eyes erupting with anger.

That day in Ancheng, in order to save the princess, he came to the territory of Ling Kingdom alone, and sent the princess the antidote, destroying her plan, and that's all.

Now, at the critical moment of seizing the city and restoring the country, he left his clansmen behind and came to the night capital.

All the members of the Dayan royal family are strong men, how could there be someone like him who only cares about women and indulges in the love of his children!

Earlier she knew that this nephew's life and whereabouts were unknown, so she was so angry that she fell into a coma and fell ill.

But this nephew was lucky, he was so disappointing, it was extremely disappointing!

The anger in Empress Dowager Deng's eyes was like a churning wave, calming down little by little, and finally condensed into a coldness.

Since he is so infatuated with that woman, it is better to let him die completely.

Empress Dowager Deng turned around and took out a report from the table, and threw it in front of Xiao Shangyan: "Want to know her whereabouts? Read it yourself."

Xiao Shangyan opened the newspaper, glanced at it quickly, and then his face turned pale.

"Aunt." He said slowly, "Why do you want to plant the poison on her and send her to prison?"

Empress Dowager Deng sneered: "You disregarded Zha Hetie's dissuasion, and rashly sent her the antidote, ruining my plan, and expecting me to save her life?"

Xiao Shangyan's expression was extremely miserable, veins popped out of the hand holding the newspaper.

Empress Dowager Deng stared at his face, which was exactly the same as that of her elder brother back then, and her heart softened.

She walked up to Xiao Shangyan slowly, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Shangyan, when you succeed in restoring the country in the future, what kind of woman do you want? Why should you be so sad for her? You can't stay all night long." Go back to Pingliang City quickly, so that my aunt can rest assured."

Xiao Shangyan closed his eyes, stood up slowly, saluted Empress Dowager Deng, and followed the guards out without saying a word.

Outside the palace, Xiao Shangyan did not leave the city immediately, "Where is the place where the Ministry of Punishments bury the condemned prisoners?"

The guard changed color: "Young master!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask myself."

Xiao Shangyan turned the horse's head and wanted to beat the horse and leave.

The personal guard hurriedly stopped him: "This subordinate will take the young master to the cemetery. However, after the young master has finished paying homage, he must leave immediately—"

Before Qin Wei finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming in the silent night.

Xiao Shangyan and his personal guards immediately disappeared in the dark alley, a team of dozens of people patted the horses past, and when their eyes fell on one of the girls on horseback, Xiao Shangyan was shocked.

These men and horses were obviously going to the palace, when the men and horses disappeared, Xiao Shangyan still stood there in a daze.

Qin Wei said: "Young master, are we going to the cemetery now?"

Xiao Shangyan said in a deep voice, "No need."

It's not all night, it seems that he has to stay for a few more days.

The soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion entered the palace without any obstacles.

The imperial guards guarding the gate were unable to compete with the Xiaoqi Battalion, and seeing that the leader was the old Marquis of Wu'an Hou Weizhong, even if they wanted to stop them, they dared not.

Old Hou Ye led his people straight in, heading straight for Qianyuan Hall.

The guards of the Qianyuan Hall were no match for the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the situation was brought under control in a short while.

Fortunately, the guards were only guarding the Qianyuan Palace under the order of the Empress Dowager, and did not dare to harm the Emperor, so when Wei Wuji and others broke in, Ling Junxing was not injured, and was still unconscious.

In the side hall of Qianyuan Hall, Wei Wuji found Xue Yuheng who was imprisoned here.

In the Palace of Mercy, the Empress Dowager sat on a chair, looking coldly at the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who broke into the palace, and the old Marquis Wei who walked in slowly.

"Wei Zhong, I have misjudged you." The Empress Dowager Deng's eyes were cold, "Your son made a mistake, and I pity you for your meritorious deeds. I have given the Wei family some favors. Unexpectedly, I did not expect that you and your son , It’s actually collusion. Leading troops to break into the palace without authorization, such a serious crime of treason, are you not afraid of punishing the nine clans?”

Old Master Wei turned the iron walnut in his hand, "Princess Xiuyue."

Empress Dowager Deng's face changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Who would have thought that the woman that Deng Huai brought back from the North was actually the subjugated princess of Dayan Kingdom?"

There was a bit of emotion in the eyes of Old Master Wei, "Deng Huai wanted to keep you, but I refused. You knelt in front of me, called me Brother Wei, General Wei, and cried and begged me to give you a way out. My heart softened for a moment. I gave you a way to live, but you, you didn’t leave a way for the emperor or Lingguo.”

Empress Dowager Deng clenched the prayer beads in her hand: "I don't understand what you say."

"Princess Xiuyue's old servant who stayed in Deng's house, as well as several other former ministers who were in charge of wiring, have been captured."

Old Master Wei said coldly, "Princess Xiuyue has been dormant for more than 20 years, but she has done a great job!"

Seeing that Old Master Wei presented the witness, Empress Dowager Deng's expression calmed down instead.

"Ten years ago, you planned the change of Luocheng, destroying the alliance of the four countries, and now you want to poison the empress and murder the empress, in an attempt to prevent the alliance between the two countries. You deliberately allowed the barbarians in the north to invade our city of Ling, in order to restore Dayan Kingdom delay."

Old Hou Ye Wei's tone turned sharp: "It's all for nothing. Tiger poison doesn't eat its children. In order to restore the country, you even managed to kill the emperor. Are you still a mother?? Hand over the antidote, otherwise--"
