Chapter 44 The Dark Guard: I Can't Stand It, The Princess Is Too Enthusiastic

Concubine Luo felt the benefits of Bai Ye being by her side.

She wanted to investigate the three divisions including Chang Shi, and within a few days, Bai Ye placed on her desk the suspicious letter seals of these three divisions, as well as the evidence of their past dealings with Qin Shou.

Unexpectedly, Commander Zhang Zhenshou, the father of the little girl named A Lian, has been quite well-behaved over the years, not too warm to Qin Shou, nor too alienated.

Concubine Luo raised her eyebrows, she remembered that when the Great Xia collapsed, this guarding commander was the first soldier to kill the capital together with Qin Shou.

He has two commanders, Tongzhi, and four commanders, among them, she really doesn't know which ones have turned against Qin Shou now.

Therefore, Concubine Luo thought about it for a long time, and decided to press the guard commander for the time being. After all, the commander of a feudal domain is in charge of military administration, punishment and prison.

But since Chang Shi and Guard Commander could no longer pose a threat to Qin Shou, what was she doing with such waste?

Now that Bai Ye is here, she doesn't need to be afraid of Qin Shou.

Therefore, within four or five days of the Xie family's death, Concubine Luo had invited the whole family of the two divisions to Anfoyuan for a banquet.

The difference with Xie Min is that the people in these two divisions, no matter what, were personally appointed by the emperor's brother, so she thought about sending them back to the capital and let her brother take care of them, but before that——

She wants them to confess their guilt!

Zhu Changshi was short in stature, with a black beard under his chin, which made him more stubborn. Behind him were the female members of the Zhu family, Zhu Bailu impressively.

On the other side is the commander of the vassal king guard Wei Qing, if I didn't meet today, Concubine Luo would never know that the Qing family has actually produced a capable person.

She vaguely remembered that it was impossible for the emperor's elder brother to appoint someone from the Qing family to guard and command the vassal king. If there was any change in it, after thinking about it, she could guess that it must be because of Qin Shou.

However, whether it belongs to the Qing family or not is not important now.

"Princess, don't you want to repeat the old trick again, taking advantage of the prince's absence, and get rid of us today like the unjust murder of Jie Min that day?" Commander Qing is in his twenties, and he is still young and vigorous. There is only one face behind him. The tender lady, looking at Concubine Luo at this moment, is quite shy.

Concubine Luo glanced at him indifferently, she really didn't know that Qin Shou was not in Rongzhou.

But Zhu Changshi is quite cunning, he clearly used to have a pedantic temperament that would rather die than submit in the court, but now he has changed a lot in his search for people.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and with a flick of his robe, he led his family and knelt down to Concubine Luo without hesitation, "Princess, I am guilty of a crime, and I am ashamed of the saint. I only ask for death, and dare not ask for mercy."

Concubine Luo was sitting on the triangular arhat couch, beside Liu Gong'e, and outside the hall were guards with swords at their waists, but Bai Ye was nowhere to be seen.

"You are guilty." Concubine Luo said casually, her calm tone made it impossible to guess her thoughts.

Zhu Changshi broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that Concubine Luo sitting on the seat was the naive little lady in the capital. He could fool even a saint, let alone a young princess.

However, Concubine Luo's words made his heart sink.

"It's just a pity that I can't see the holy face again before I die. These years, every time I think of the saint, I feel regretful. I also ask the princess to let the family members of the officials and the corpses of the officials return to the capital. The officials can die." Rest your eyes." Zhu Changshi was in tears, and he really looked like he had repented.

Concubine Luo sneered secretly, "Old man, at the end of his life, he is still trying to fool me. Is it okay to be my three-year-old child?"

After saying that, she slapped the table with her bare hands, her pink face showing evil, "Come here, take off this old man's official seal, and escort this family back to Beijing to be dealt with by the saint."

Hearing this, Zhu Changshi's face turned pale, and when the guards found the official seal on him, he woke up like a dream, tore off the mask that he thought he was a snake, and yelled at Concubine Luo, "Ignorant boy, Mr. In the morning, sooner or later this Great Yin Jiangshan will be destroyed in your hands."

Concubine Luo was furious, "Give me twenty slaps, and I will see what tricks he can come up with!"

The guard Gu responded, and he did it himself, pinching Zhu Changshi's shoulders, slapping the ground with a murderous force.

Zhu Bailu couldn't help crying, she saw that her father gradually released more air and less air, so she couldn't help but kowtow to Concubine Luo, "I beg the princess to show mercy, my father is old, I beg the princess to be merciful and spare his life, so that I can go back to Beijing and deal with it."

Concubine Luo snorted coldly, she flicked her sleeves, and said with an inviolable aloofness, "Thunder, rain and dew are all blessings. The Zhu family can have what it is today. Could it be that they have forgotten whose favor it is? It has only been a few years of hard work, and even the book is given to me." forget!"

"It's not that I can't cut off your heads right now, I just want to save some face for you. After all, the sage once had great expectations of you." Concubine Luo's voice was soft and waxy, but no one dared to ignore the nobleness of her eyebrows .

After twenty slaps, Gu Shiwei slapped no more and no less, and Zhu Changshi had already vomited blood, his cheeks were swollen, and he passed out.

Concubine Luo waved her hand and said with a deadpan expression, "Take it down."

As soon as the words fell, guards stepped in and took Zhu Changshi and his family down like a dead dog. This time it was the turn of the Qing guards to command.

Because of Qin Shou's relationship, he originally had contempt for Concubine Luo. After all, no matter how she is a princess, she is also Princess Rong's Princess Rong. Offend the Qing family.

However, Concubine Luo has always been one who doesn't play cards according to the rules. She glanced over and said sharply, "Commander Qing Guard, do you have something to say to me?"

Under Concubine Luo's cold gaze, Commander Qing's guard tightened his heart and dared not make a sound.

Concubine Luo curled her lips and smiled, clearly she was only fifteen years old, but her intimidating power was not weak at all, "Since there is no commander of Qingwei, then I have something to say."

Before the end of the sound dissipated, Concubine Luo suddenly sternly said, "The position of guard command is also within the reach of Erqing's family?"

The commander of the Qing guard was so frightened by Concubine Luo's drink that his legs went limp, and he almost couldn't help but kneel down. He braced his face and said without confidence, "Princess should ask King Rong about this matter..."

"Shut up!" Luo Concubine Lingling scolded.

Then she went on to say, "What is the identity of the son-in-law? To deceive the son-in-law because he thinks about the in-law relationship so that he can pour dirty water on the son-in-law? It's an extra crime!"

The commander of the green guard clenched his hands into fists and stared at Concubine Luo through gritted teeth, very unwilling.

Concubine Luo laughed contemptuously, "Come here, let me hold you down. If I hear you slandering the son-in-law again, I don't need to wait for the capital, I will kill you right away!"

The Commander of the Qing Guards, who was slightly better than Zhu Changshi, was also taken down. Concubine Luo pointed at several scrolls at hand, which impressively recorded the identity details of Rongzhou's large and small government offices.

She didn't dare to use people from Rongzhou, and she couldn't directly support her subordinates from the fiefdom. She went to the two divisions of Changshi and Guard Command for a while, but she couldn't find a suitable person to replace her.

However, she soon put such things in the back of her mind, after all, after escorting him back to Beijing, the queen mother will take care of it safely.

She waved back the guards of Gong'e, and softly shouted in the direction of the void, "Bai Ye..."

Immediately, in the blink of an eye, a dark guard in black light armor appeared in front of her instantly, and the star eyes exposed outside the crow feather mask looked at her suspiciously.

Concubine Luo's mood suddenly improved, she hooked her hand towards him, motioning to come forward.

Bai Ye closed his eyes and took a step forward, standing still at half an arm's distance from Concubine Luo, his right hand rested on the hilt of his sword and remained motionless.

Concubine Luo got up and approached him, and said softly, "Would you like to take off the mask and have a look with me?"

Bai Ye's eyelashes moved, and under the gaze of Concubine Luo, he raised his hand and slowly lifted off the crow feather mask, and the feathers brushed over his face, revealing a handsome face.

Maybe the sun and the moon are not often seen, Bai Ye's face is a bit paler than ordinary people, under the sword eyebrows and starry eyes is a straight nose bridge, and moderately thick, very shapely lips.

As familiar as in memory, Concubine Luo looked at it carefully, as if she wanted to overlap the person in front of her with the white night of her previous life.

Without the cover of the mask, Bai Ye, who felt uncomfortable, pinched the crow feather mask, rubbed the feathers repeatedly, and said in a low voice, "Princess..."

Concubine Luo came back to her senses, her peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, she asked, "Who has seen your face?"

Bai Ye shook his head, "Only the princess."

Concubine Luo took the mask from his hand, put it on for him again and said, "Very good, don't let others see you in the future."

Bai Ye nodded, under the crow feather mask, he blushed slightly.

"Resign from the humble position." Without waiting for Concubine Luo to say anything else, he disappeared in a flash.

Concubine Luo was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help laughing. She lazily sat back on the Arhat couch, stared at the beams of the painted building, and recalled the past that she didn't really want to recall, the days when she and Bai Ye lived in seclusion in the countryside.

There are two flowers on each table.

Not to mention Concubine Luo's method made the Rongzhou officials tremble with fear, even Yan'an felt that he couldn't stand the trouble anymore.

From the expulsion of Xie's family to the incidents of Zhu Changshi and Commander Qing, countless officials and aides of the palace came to him every day.

Nothing else, just ask the princess to meddle in the state's internal affairs like this, what is the prince's plan?
How did he know who the prince is? He couldn't find the prince at all. Since the middle of the night, the prince rode out of the city. Up to now, he hasn't said a single word, not even half a letter.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the princess's powerful secret guard who had just arrived kidnapped the prince?

Just as the corners of Yan'an's lips were bubbling anxiously, Qin Shou returned home.

After six or seven days, Wang Rong who stepped into the palace was full of travel and dust, his clothes were wrinkled, his face was gloomy, and his pair of phoenix eyes were so deep that no one dared to look at him.

Yan'an lowered his head, kept silent about the prince's whereabouts these days, and reported Concubine Luo's recent actions one by one, and finally asked cautiously, "My lord, do you need to call all the officials, big and small, so as to comfort you? "

Unexpectedly, Qin Shou shook his head, and said in an unclear tone, "No need."

Then he said, "Since the princess has dismissed the two divisions, the princess will be invited to participate in the political affairs in the meeting hall of Canglanyuan tomorrow. The two divisions will be decided by the princess."

Yan'an's scalp was numb, and he almost wanted to jump away from Qin Shou's side. The ancient well on Qin Shou's body had no waves, which only made him feel more and more unfathomable.
