Walking out of Qian'an Gate, Lin Quan suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster. Only at this moment did he think about it, and picked up his sleeves to wipe the bleeding nose.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger... Lin Quan couldn't help but sigh, he had indeed made a big mistake just now.
What kind of false emperor, what kind of Zen position, these news should not have reached the ears of the prince. Why should a dead person negotiate conditions with the prince?
The prince raised an army to kill the traitors who killed the king and usurped the throne according to the destiny, so why did he need to let the false emperor give him the throne?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Quan walked all the way outside the palace.
He must handle things properly this time, as this is also related to his safety.
…………
After a day's journey, the team escorting the princess stopped at Xingheyi near Yongshun Mansion.
In three days at most, the entire team can reach the capital.
The two days on the road were a rare moment of peace for Zhao Weilong, even though he was being watched like a prisoner.
At this moment, Zhao Weilong was driven into a small room, and there were at least thirty soldiers guarding the outside of the room.
The sun was setting in the west, and it would be dark in more than half an hour. I finally got through it again today.
At this moment, the closed door was opened, and a woman turned around and walked in.
Seeing this person, Zhao Weilong's melancholy eyes relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips.
Putting down the food box in his hand, Zhen Xiangyu squatted in front of Zhao Weilong, raised his head and said, "Husband, it's time to have dinner!"
"Today we have braised three delicacies, fried tenderloin, assorted tofu, fried shredded chicken..."
While talking, Zhen Xiangliu took out the dishes from the food box and vividly explained what it means to be a good wife and mother.
This peaceful scene made Zhao Weilong fascinated for a while.
If I had never been born into an imperial family and had such a beautiful and virtuous wife, what a perfect life it would have been...
"Husband, it's time to eat!"
Passing the bowl and chopsticks to Zhao Weilong, Zhen Xianglian continued: "Sister Jun specially added steamed eight-treasure pig to us today!"
When he said this, Zhen Xianglian had already put the dishes into Zhao Weilong's bowl.
"Sister Jun, you are really nice to you!" Zhao Weilong said with a smile.
"Our two families have been friends for generations. We have known each other since we were children, and we grew up playing around each other!"
"You have this good sister here, I think I can protect your life!"
Zhao Weilong's words plunged the room into silence and made the atmosphere solemn.
"We can all survive!" Zhen Xianglian said extremely seriously.
At this moment, outside the post station, a group of more than 20 people came on horseback, breaking the silence outside Xinghe Post Station.
When he arrived outside the inn, Lin Quan dismounted his horse first and led the people towards the inn's gate.
"Who?"
"We, Lin Quan, are here on the order of the king!"
Guarding the gate were guards from the front guard of the palace, and they all recognized Lin Quan.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Lin. Hurry open the door and let Eunuch Lin in!"
After taking the people into the inn, Lin Quan didn't delay at all and asked people to take him directly to see the so-called "false emperor".
From an attic somewhere in the inn, Huang Rongrong was extremely dissatisfied as she watched Lin Quan enter the inn with a roar: "It's this stupid guy again, showing off his power, it's so annoying!"
On the side, Lin Jingyu teased the child in the cradle and said slowly: "They are here on the order of the king, so it is normal to be high-profile!"
"Come on the king's order?"
Huang Rongrong looked away from the window, looked at Lin Jingyu and said, "Sister Lin, what do you think the prince will do with those two people?"
"After the Zen throne, will they be imprisoned for the rest of their lives, or will they be allowed to live the lives of ordinary people?"
"Lin Quan is here, they are going to die!" Lin Jingyu replied softly.
Hearing this, Huang Rongrong was very surprised and asked: "Why did they die? Did the prince want to kill them?"
Lin Jingyu knew two days ago that the emperor and empress would definitely die. This was doomed when Zhao Yanxun raised his army.
Huang Rongrong naturally couldn't figure out the reason, and Lin Jingyu didn't intend to tell him clearly.
"That girl from the Zhen family was very kind. It's a pity that she died like this. Sister Lin, can you save her?"
At this moment, Lin Jingyu said with a serious expression: "Don't ask too much about this matter. It's best to forget it and pretend it never happened. You can't mention it in this life. This is good for you and the child!"
If Zhao Yanxun failed to raise his army, the fate of himself and others would be the same, but Lin Jingyu did not say this.
Seeing that Lin Jingyu was so serious about her matter, Huang Rongrong was a little confused, but she still remembered it in her heart.
"knew!"
On the other side, Lin Quan led people to the side courtyard and glanced at the room where Zhao Weilong was.
"Bring them out!" Lin Quan said coldly.
"yes!"
Several soldiers, like tigers and wolves, rushed into the room, interrupted the couple's dinner, and dragged them out very roughly.
"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous?" Zhao Weilong yelled.
"Sister Jun, sister Jun..."
Zhen Xianglian yelled, Xue Baoyun was her only support, so she couldn't help shouting loudly at this moment.
"The false emperor hanged himself to death, and you all pretended to be the royal family. Your crime is unpardonable..." Lin Quan's tone was cold and stern.
"Strangulated immediately!"
Lin Quan worked vigorously and resolutely, but he was afraid that something might happen in the middle.
The soldiers who followed him took out a rope and quickly put it around Zhao Weilong's neck, and the two of them pulled directly to both sides.
"Let my wife go..."
After saying only half of this sentence, Zhao Weilong's throat was locked to the point that he could no longer speak.
But his words reminded Lin Quan that there was a woman next to him, so he winked at the soldier next to him.
At this time, watching her husband gradually lose his vitality, Zhen Xianglian cried loudly and struggled, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Originally she was still yearning for it, but after she accepted the Zen position, she and her husband fled the world and became an ordinary couple.
I never thought that on this peaceful afternoon, the couple would encounter such a misfortune. It all happened so suddenly.
"The princess is here!"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Lin Quan did not look back at all, but instructed his men to finish the work as soon as possible.
"Lin Quan, stop!"
Being scolded by Xue Baojun, Lin Quan had to turn away, and then said: "Empress, this slave is following the king's orders to kill those who pretend to be false emperors and intend to stir up trouble!"
Seeing the scene of life and death in front of her, Xue Baoyun felt particularly sad, but she grasped the loopholes in Lin Quan's language.
"The king ordered you to kill the person who pretended to be a false emperor. Does he also ask you to kill this unrelated woman?"
Lin Quan was thinking about how to reply, but Xue Baojun did not intend to give him time, and said in an increasingly stern tone: "Reply!"
"Did the prince himself tell you to kill this woman as well?"
At that time, Zhao Yanxun only said how to deal with Zhao Weilong, and indeed did not personally say that he wanted to kill Zhen Xianglian, but this was actually the same thing.
Lin Quan really couldn't understand why this extremely smart princess came out to disrupt the situation at this moment. Could it be that she didn't think she was in enough trouble?
The entire Xue family has racked their brains in order to survive, and even their second master has committed suicide.
Seeing Zhen Xianglian rolling her eyes, Xue Baoyun became more and more angry and said: "Reply!"
"The prince has never said it himself!"
After all, Lin Quan did not dare to "falsely pass on the king's orders". Xue Baoyun was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid of death.
"Let the man go!"
Seeing that everyone did not move, not even his confidants moved, Xue Baoyun became more and more angry and said: "I asked you to release the person, do you want me to release the person myself?"
Of course, Lin Quan couldn't let Xue Baoyun release the person himself, but if he could delay it for a little longer, Zhen Xiangyu would be more likely to die.
The rope was loosened and Zhen Xianglian fell to the ground. Xue Baoyun quickly stepped forward.
Lin Quan walked to the other side. After confirming that Zhao Weilong was dead, his heart relaxed for the most part.
After being shaken a few times by Xue Baojun, Zhen Xianglian, who fainted, gradually regained consciousness, and then she saw her husband's body beside her.
"ah……"
Zhen Xianglian cried loudly, pushed Xue Baoyun away and crawled towards Zhao Weilong. She cried miserably on the corpse, which made the conscientious people at the scene feel deeply sad.
Seeing this scene, Xue Baoyun had mixed emotions. He wanted to come forward to comfort him but didn't know what to say.
Lin Quan came to Xue Baojun, saluted and said: "My dear, if this girl doesn't die, I won't be able to do anything with the prince!"
"The prince didn't ask you to kill her, so why can't you teach her a lesson?"
"Your Majesty, this servant is overstepping your bounds. You should not get involved in this matter!"
Xue Baoyun's reason also told her that she should not get involved in this matter, but she still intervened after all.
"I will go and apologize to the prince!" Xue Baojun said in a deep voice.
She said everything about this, and Lin Quan had nothing to say. At worst, he and the princess would be accused together.
At this moment, Zhen Xianglian gradually stopped crying and straightened out Zhao Weilong's messy clothes.
She stood up slowly and looked at the dozens of people in the yard, as if she wanted to take everyone in mind.
"Liao'er, you don't have to be afraid, I won't let them hurt you!"
Xue Baoyun only took one step forward and was grabbed by Yuzhu beside him.
Before Xue Baoyun could turn around and scold him, he heard Zhen Xiangyan in front say: "I tell you, my husband is the grandson of the late emperor, and he is the legitimate emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
"You traitors will never end well..."
Zhen Xiangliu's attitude and expression changed drastically at this moment, and she showed the true demeanor of a queen. The words she spoke shocked everyone present.
"I am the queen of the middle palace enthroned by the emperor... I don't need the mercy of you traitors, and I will not be humiliated by you!"
The word "insult" came out of his mouth. Zhen Xianglian tried his best and crashed into the stone steps next to him. Blood and water spattered on the scene.
Half a minute later, the remaining light of the setting sun shone on the corpses of the emperor and empress, and everything returned to silence and tranquility.
Xue Baojun turned around and said to Lin Quan standing beside him: "Find a coffin, find a secluded place, and bury these two people!"
"I will apologize to the prince for what happened today!"
"Slave, take your orders!" Lin Quan had no choice but to agree.
