A large number of soldiers roamed Jinling City, disinfecting hidden gangsters. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhu Youde decided to take the capital into his hands.
Guards kept rushing into the mansion and taking away the panicked officials, leaving behind the frightened ladies and crying children. There was no one on the street, they were all hiding in their homes, for fear of accidentally injuring their lives with eyeless swords.
At the Firearms Bureau, Tang Huo commanded the guards to put away the firearms and sent someone to make sure that nothing happened in the palace before reporting to Queen Luo.
The worried harem beauties returned to the palace under the escort of Li Renjie.
"My beloved concubine!"
Zhu Youde, who was busy dealing with the remnants, threw away the long sword in his hand and stepped forward to hug Luo Xian, who was walking in front. He was still wearing golden armor, covered in blood, and looked ferocious with a grin.
Luo Xian quickened her pace and plunged into the familiar chest: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The jade hand pulled Zhu Youde's armor, put it on his dirty face, and wiped it with a clean sleeve.
The worry deep in his eyes gradually dissipated, and panic and fear were evident.
She looked at the corpses being moved out one after another by the guards, the bloodstains wiped away by the palace maids and eunuchs, and the smell of blood in the air, all of which complained about the sinister nature of the incident.
Her beautiful eyes are about to well up with tears.
Zhu Youde quickly wiped his hands and wiped the corners of Luo Xian's eyes, "I am the Emperor of Daliang, who can enter my body?"
"Look, my dear concubine, these are all my military exploits! If I were not a noble, I could be made a marquis based on this merit!"
Luo Xian raised a smile, His Majesty was still the "unbridled" man.
"Don't talk about me anymore." Zhu Youde took a few steps forward and held Qingyu Qian'er's jade hand: "It's pitiful that my beloved concubines have suffered..."
"It is a crime for me to fail to share your Majesty's worries. How could Your Majesty say such things?" Tang Qingyu and Zhou Ruqian gave them a blessing.
The Liu sisters were also safe under the protection of Liu Xuan'er.
Zhu Youde breathed a sigh of relief that the beauties in the harem were safe and sound, and immediately decided to hold a banquet in the Yangxin Hall in the evening.
…………………………………………
At the banquet, Zhu Youde toasted one by one.
"Commander Li's guard has served well, I will remember it."
"Master Tang guarded the firearms bureau, assisted Commander Li in protecting the beauties in the harem, and protected Daliang's gunpowder from being plundered. This is a great achievement."
"Commander Zhou led the imperial army to fight to the death against the Langshan bandits and defend Jinling City. All the imperial troops will be rewarded!"
"General Wang immediately killed the enemy bandits with a straight sword and led his army from the western border to the capital. His generals have made many achievements! The general accompanied me to the Yangxin Palace and cleared the obstacles. I will remember this in my heart!"
"Your Majesty, you are born with divine power and have done a great job in protecting you. I will never forget it!"
"Miss Liu..."
"Master Feng..."
All ministers who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded with royal wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Youde held a gold cup, glanced at the ministers, shook the wine bottle and said slowly: "The traitors have been removed. I will personally reward all the ministers tomorrow morning. Let's consider tonight a celebration banquet!"
The minister raised his glass and drank with you.
It's past midnight and the lights are brightly lit.
"Drink, keep drinking! Keep drinking!" Zhu Youde was supported by Wang Zhonghou and said goodbye to the ministers.
The ministers did not dare to get drunk. When they saw the drunk little emperor, they sighed: The little emperor is really a man of temperament.
Everyone no longer raised their glasses, bowed and left the palace one by one.
Compared to the bustle in the palace, the streets of Jinling City were much deserted. A large number of soldiers shuttled through the city, and there were shouts and sobs from time to time.
The usually bustling Jinling City looked desolate and solemn, and the petty officials and officials hiding in the darkness were uncovered one by one.
In the palace, Wang Zhonghou helped Zhu Youde to Kunning Palace, and the drunken little emperor suddenly woke up.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Zhonghou looked at His Majesty with a gloomy face in front of him in astonishment and exclaimed.
"Thank you for your hard work, King Bianban. It's okay for me. Let's take a rest early." Zhu Youde nodded at him and walked into the hall.
All the beauties in the harem were there, with Luo Xian first, Qing Yu Qian'er and the Liu family sisters second, and in addition there was a cold woman in white.
"I have met Your Majesty..."
"The common people meet Your Majesty..."
"Get flat."
Everyone saluted, Luo Xian served Zhu Youde and took off his robe, sat at the front and looked at Liu Xuan'er beside the Liu sisters.
She came to resign.
At the banquet just now, Liu Xuan'er relied on sisters Liu Xiyun and Liu Xiyue to express to Zhu Youde her intention to leave tonight.
"Your Majesty saved the little girl's life, and I can't thank you enough. Therefore, by agreeing to your Majesty's request to hide in secret, guard the harem, and cooperate with the prince to kill Cining, I should be able to repay your Majesty's kindness."
"After the banquet, please Your Majesty to let the little girl come out of the palace."
Liu Xuan'er saluted and said respectfully.
Zhu Youde squinted his eyes, looked at the cold woman, and suddenly asked: "What are Miss Liu's plans after leaving the palace?"
"Go back home."
"The Liu family has been exterminated, but is there anyone worth remembering? I have sent someone to find your whereabouts, and we will be arriving in the capital soon."
Hearing this, Liu Xuan'er suddenly raised her head, her calm eyes showing horror and joy.
Dog Emperor... Um, did your Majesty really find traces of my father?
Before, Liu Xuan'er thought that Zhu Youde was using this as a tie-up and wanted her to take action. Now looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not joking.
"Miss Liu is good at martial arts. Returning to her hometown to work as a knight-errant has wasted her skills. Why not stay in the capital and serve the Liang Dynasty?"
