Chapter 198 False Accuser

Shen Yuexi sat upright and glanced at the man kneeling on the ground in front of her.

The man had an injury on his shoulder, his hands were tied behind his back, and his head was lowered.

Today, she originally made an appointment to go out with Xiao Zhuo to relax, but Xiao Zhuo received a notice from the scouts and did not go with him. She was not interested in it, so she asked Li Wan out again.

Unexpectedly, she was suddenly attacked by these people when she was walking halfway. They swarmed forward with weapons in hand, not for money, but for their lives. Fortunately, Qiang Lin and the secret guards risked their lives to protect each other, otherwise she would have been killed by these assassins. Killed.

The assassins failed to attack and immediately fled in all directions. They only caught one injured person, which was the man in front of him.

I don’t know where these people came from, whether they were assassins sent by Xiao Beiheng. She was fine, but she scared Li Wan to tears. When she returned to the mansion, she managed to help Li Wan into the house with all her strength.

"Who in the end instigated you, tell me immediately." She stared at the leading assassin and said.

The man said nothing and kept his mouth tightly shut.

Qiang Lin said from the side: "Master, they ambushed us on the way. They obviously know our travel plan. If we don't torture them severely, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Shen Yuexi nodded in agreement and said, "Isn't that what I was asking?"

She turned to the assassin and said, "Will you tell me or not? If you don't tell me, I will be angry."

The assassin remained silent, completely turning a deaf ear to her words.

Qiang Lin brought his fist to his mouth, coughed, and said: "Master, your words are a bit...gentle. This is not the way to interrogate. Please leave it to your subordinates. Some of my secret guards are specialized in torture." "

Shen Yuexi was right when she thought about it. If she was not suitable, it would be better to let professionals do it.

She nodded and said, "Don't hurt him, otherwise he will die without proof."

"Don't worry, if you hurt him, the master will hold his subordinates accountable," Qiang Lin waved to a secret guard next to him, "Drag him into the next room and let him confess."

The secret guard took the order, called two more people, dragged the assassin into the next room, and closed the door.

Shen Yuexi listened intently, and screams that did not sound like human voices kept coming from the next door. Half an hour later, the secret guard opened the door and came out, turned around and ordered: "Okay, drag him out."

Two secret guards held the assassin out without touching his feet. The assassin raised his head and saw Shen Yuexi, shouting repeatedly: "I said it, I said it!"

Shen Yuexi saw that there were no injuries on his face and body, and his hands and feet were intact. She was very surprised what these secret guards did. But this was not an important matter, so she said to the assassin: "Who sent you here."

"It's Qianhu Zhang Song. He sent people to assassinate you and His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Yuexi was shocked and asked: "But is it true?"

The assassin kept saying: "It's absolutely true. As long as I don't let these people torture me anymore, I'm willing to confront Zhang Song face to face."

Shen Yuexi said to Qiang Lin: "Take the assassin down first and guard him carefully. Don't let him escape. Then send someone to find Zhang Song."

Qiang Lin acted as ordered, while she sat in the room and meditated.

Zhang Song is a member of the Xiliang Army. He went to Langya Pass with Mei Pu to rescue her and Xiao Zhuo. Now Zhang Song actually wants to harm her and Xiao Zhuo. Doesn't Xiliang want Xiao Zhuo to rise to power?

If that's the case, this matter cannot be revealed. They are still under the care of the Xiliang Army. If they turn against each other, they will be seeking death.

While she was thinking, Qiang Lin hurried back and said to her: "Master, Zhang Song has disappeared."

Shen Yuexi was speechless. This Zhang Song ran so fast. It seemed that he knew that one of his men would be caught and he would be exposed sooner or later.

At this time, Qiu Liming and Song Zhen, who learned about Shen Yuexi's attack, also arrived, and Shen Yuexi told them the situation.

She was worried that there were people like Zhang Song in the Xiliang army.

Song Zhen said: "Don't worry, mistress. Even if there are such people, with the death of the King of Xiliang, they dare not act rashly. Zhang Song is a military general who acts without thinking. Since he ran away instead of asking for help from others, it means that He has no backing support, it is just his own idea, and we cannot make it public to avoid causing discord."

Qiu Liming fully agreed: "Mother, what the military advisor said is true. The general originally planned to send more people for protection."

Song Zhen said: "We are staying here as guests. My lord is commanding the Xiliang Army. Your arrangements are also for the Xiliang Army. These sergeants, Prince Mei, can be taken back at any time. Don't trust them too much."

After comforting Shen Yuexi, the two left the mansion to arrange military affairs.

Shen Yuexi planned to visit Li Wan. This trip scared Li Wan quite a bit, after all, she was the one who called her out.

As soon as I left the room, I saw Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu coming back together, along with many servants carrying various gifts.

Shen Yuexi quickly lowered her head and straightened her clothes, put a smile on her face, and walked towards the two of them.

The husband rarely looked happy. It seemed that this was a gift from Prince Mei to them. The King of Xiliang had given so many before, but I didn't expect that Mei Pu would give it again. It was so polite.

"Husband, Prince Mei." She stepped forward and greeted the two of them with a smile.

Mipu still wore a mask on her face and wore mourning clothes. After saying hello to Shen Yuexi, she turned and walked to the room where Mrs. Li and Li Wan were.

The servants carrying gifts behind him also followed him around the corner.

Shen Yuexi originally planned to say, "Let's put the gift in that room first." It turned out that the gift was not for her, but for Mrs. Li and Li Wan.

Fortunately, I didn't open my mouth, otherwise where would I have put my face?

When she looked back at Xiao Zhuo, she became angry.

This man was uncharacteristically smiling. She almost misunderstood Maple, but now he still dared to smile.

"Husband, you are very happy." She rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo didn't say much, he walked directly to her, bent down and hugged her, picked her up horizontally, and spun her around a few times.

Shen Yuexi felt that the entire courtyard in front of her was spinning.

"Stop, stop, stop!" she yelled while grabbing Xiao Zhuo's shirt on his chest, "If you turn around again, I will vomit on you!"

When she came to her senses, she and Xiao Zhuo were already in the bedroom. When Xiao Zhuo put her down, she still felt dizzy.

Xiao Zhuo took out a volume of documents from his arms: "Here."

"What is this?" Shen Yuexi took it and opened it, and couldn't help shouting in surprise, "It's the imperial edict of Emperor Yongde!"

The general idea of ​​the imperial edict is that Emperor Yongde mistakenly believed the slander, and now it has been found that the person who placed witchcraft and other things in the East Palace to frame Xiao Zhuo was the same person who falsely accused Xiao Zhuo. Emperor Yongde regretted it and wanted to reply to Xiao Zhuo. Zhuo Zhuo was the crown prince, but not without reason. In view of the Jingzhou army plotting a rebellion, King Jing, the culprit, has been executed in the capital. Xiao Zhuo is now named King Zhao and leads 50,000 troops to attack the Jingzhou rebels. Wait until Jingzhou is pacified. , and now he is the prince again.

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand why Xiao Zhuo was so happy.

She placed the imperial edict on the table, stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Zhuo's neck, and said with a smile: "Husband, that's great! The emperor has vindicated you."

"Well," Xiao Zhuo also hugged her and said, "The injustice that was burdened on me has been cleared away, and the queen mother can rest in peace."

"But if you are asked to lead fifty thousand troops, where will the fifty thousand come from?"

"The 50,000 Yan troops in Xiaogang Village, under the command of Border Commander Zhao Mu, are heading here and will arrive soon." Xiao Zhuo said with a smile.

"Ah, what about Xiao Beiheng? No one is blocking him, will he follow?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "It doesn't matter. No one is your husband's opponent. The only one who can defeat me is myself."

Shen Yuexi originally wanted to say that you are bragging? But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhuo really has the confidence to say this. He has never been defeated and is invincible.

"Does anyone else know about this?"

"The first person I thought of was you, and I didn't even tell Maple."

With Xiao Zhuo's stability and restraint, it was the first time that Shen Yuexi saw him so happy, and he was the first to think of sharing this happiness with himself.

"By the way, the person who framed you... was in a hurry just now." Shen Yuexi turned around to get the imperial edict.

Xiao Zhuo held her hand and said, "No need to look any further, it's not Mei Dai, it's Concubine De."
