Chapter 169 The fate of the scumbag and the scumbag queen(1/2)
When Xu Muqing said this, a happy smile appeared in her eyes. She was full of expectations for the future. "If you missed Your Highness, I will never find someone who loves me more than him. That is what I will regret for the rest of my life. Dad, mother, I hope you can agree and I will live a good life."
She didn't believe it anymore. After meeting two scumbags, Xiao Lince and Zhang Mingxi, she would make mistakes again. If she was really wrong, she would be really blind, had no brains, and was a big pig.
Yang Yaoguang considered the actual situation, "Your Highness is in good health, so you will certainly be satisfied with your mother who will not be a widow when you marry him. But Qing'er, how can you be sure that your Highness and Liu Shitong's engagement can be terminated."
She could accept that her daughter married Xiao Linye, but no matter what, she could not let Qing'er be a concubine. This is the pride of their Xu family and her bottom line.
Xu Muqing explained very seriously and patiently, "Mom, Liu Shitong doesn't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She cried and made a fuss twice before because of her engagement with His Royal Highness, and she sought death twice. When the engagement was terminated, they were bound together unwillingly."
Yang Yaoguang was not as optimistic as she thought, "It used to be the past, now now, people's hearts will change. Can't you understand such a simple truth? Everyone thought that Your Highness was a short-lived ghost, and she became a widow within a few days of marrying him. Naturally, those noble girls didn't want to marry."
"But now, His Highness the Crown Prince's body has become healthy and strong, and he will soon ascend the throne to the new emperor. In addition, His Highness is handsome, which of those noble girls who have not yet been married does not want to marry him? Qing'er, are you really sure that Liu Shitong is willing to terminate the engagement with him?"
After listening to her mother's analysis, she couldn't help but feel nervous. The smile on her face gradually froze. She whispered, "Mom, Liu Shitong shouldn't be fooled. She had resisted and disgusted with His Highness before, but we have seen it. His Highness also knew what she really thought. If she broke her promise and was unwilling to terminate the engagement, she would not be happy to marry His Highness."
"It's too early to say anything now. Let's talk about it when His Royal Highness completes everything. My mother also hopes that Liu Shitong is not the kind of woman who loves vain and power. If she doesn't love her, she will terminate the engagement."
Yang Yaoguang swallowed the following words, what she wanted to say was, even if Liu Shitong was willing to terminate the engagement, would they be willing to do it in the entire Ningguo Marquis’ Mansion?
After all, as long as Liu Shitong becomes the queen of the mother of the world, it will be a supreme honor for the entire Liu family, and the benefits it will bring can be imagined.
She didn't want to think about it anymore, so she just treated it as a test for Xiao Linye. If he really loved Mu Qing, he would definitely not let Mu Qing be wronged and let her be a concubine.
If Xiao Linye insisted on marrying Liu Shitong as his wife and asked her to be the crown princess, then they would not marry their daughter to him, and it would be best to break up as soon as possible.
Xu Muqing was a little upset, and panic and sourness surged into her heart, making her unable to linger. "Then let time prove everything. I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get."
Yang Yaoguang said to her kindly, "That's right, let time prove everything. Mom hopes that my eldest daughter will get married in glory and be happy for the rest of her life."
After Xiao Linye left the General's Mansion, he did not go back immediately. The dead soldiers outside the General's Mansion immediately surrounded him, "Master."
"Which direction did Huo Shujing run away? Has anyone chased after him?" He narrowed his eyes, and the dangerous aura spread out, and the sound was even colder, making people shudder.
"Reply to the master's words, Huo Shujing fled to the southeast, but we have already pursued him. However, the prince of Nanyue has many tricks and has not yet captured anyone."
"Prepare horses for the orphans and continue chasing!"
For Huo Shujing, the last time he was an envoy of Liang State, he could not intercept and kill him openly. However, since he was secretly lurking in and did not seize this opportunity to deal with it hard, I really feel sorry for myself.
Feng Ba said in disbelief, "Master, are you going in person? How to solve the rest of the palace?"
"If Feng Yi, Feng Er, Feng Hua, Feng Xue, Feng Yue and the others can't even deal with the endgame, don't do anything by the side of the Gu in the future." Xiao Linye had a sense of arrogance.
Feng Ba did not dare to ask questions again, and asked someone to prepare the horses as fast as possible. A group of hundreds of dead soldiers followed Xiao Linye, chasing him to the southeast as fast as possible.
It was only an hour since Huo Shujing left the capital, and it was only now that the sky had completely lit up, and it was the best time to pursue.
So, Xiao Linye's men and people rushed through the mountains and forests. After more than two hours of chasing, Huo Shujing's voice finally appeared.
The prince of Nanyue, who is noble and evil, has a handsome face and is always the most noble and elegant, is now wrinkled in his clothes and has been cut several times. Only Yun Sen and Yun Lei, who have been following him, are left by his side.
Xiao Linye's face was cold and frosty, and he directly pushed him to the edge of the cliff, where the distance between the two sides was only ten feet away.
Huo Shujing was covered in dust and his head was messy. The bone-eroded regret spread in his heart at this moment, forcing him to almost go crazy. His eyes were covered with blood, and he shouted hysterically, "Don't come over, Xiao Linye, if you are dead here, you Liangguo will not be able to feel at peace!"
Xiao Linye aimed at Huo Shujing with a poisonous arrow. He did not care about the threat of the Nanyue prince's bluffing power, "So what? Who knew that after the Nanyue prince returned from his birthday to the late emperor, he secretly lurked back again in less than a month?"
"Huo Shujing, you should never covet the territory of Liang State. You Nanyue people are not worthy!"
Although Gu is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Huo Shujing is too smart in his calculations, but in the end he is smart and is mistaken for cleverness.
"Stop talking nonsense. Without permission, people from Nanyue cannot come to Liang. Those who appear will be killed without permission! This is the law!"
The next moment, the sharp arrow flew out like a bamboo shoot. When Huo Shujing was forced into a desperate situation, he could only jump to the cliff and the abyss with a heart.
Xiao Linye refused to give up, ran to the edge of the cliff as fast as possible, and replenished two arrows into the turbulent river again, "Feng Ba, take people downstream to stare. Those who have traces will kill you without any worries!"
It's a pity that the arrow he had just shot out deviated from some trajectory when Huo Shujing jumped towards the bottom of the cliff, and did not pierce Huo Shujing's heart.
However, the two loyal guards were seriously injured.
"Go back."
Although he hated Xiao Lie, he still had to do a grand funeral and had to do a good job of face, but he did not have such a good temper for Xiao Lince and the Queen Mother. After dealing with the emperor's funeral, it was time for him to settle the two disasters.
His biological father's great revenge must be avenged, and he colluded with the Nanyue Kingdom to cede land and seek prosperity, and he must also settle the matter of good deeds.
In the next few days, Xiao Linye cleaned up the mess with his trusted confidant and buried all those who died in the palace chaos, especially those ministers who were loyal to the previous emperor, who also gave generous pensions.
The late emperor also ended his life with a grand funeral, and was buried in the imperial tomb, accompanied by the ancestors of the Xiao family and rested forever.
After Xiao Lie was buried, Xiao Linye finally made his hands to deal with Xiao Lince and the Empress Dowager. He asked his subordinates to write about the numerous crimes committed by Xiao Lince and the Empress Dowager, colluded with the people of the Nanyue Kingdom to poison the emperor, poison the most loyal minister of Liang Kingdom, brutally killed the ministers in the court, and ceded the sixteen cities in the south to the Nanyue Kingdom in exchange for the throne.
A few months ago, Xiao Lince and the Queen Mother joined forces to secretly sell the grain in the granary to the enemy country for huge profits, and the numerous crimes were added up to dozens.
The Queen Mother poisoned the prince Xiao Luo, and all the crimes were revealed.
When the imperial list was posted, the people in the capital were blown up and were so angry that they ceded land to seek honor and ceded the sixteen southern cities to the people of the South Vietnam without blinking. They could not bear it.
In a short period of time, the Empress Dowager and Xiao Lince were discussed by the common people and the nobles in the court, and were scolded by blood. The angry scholars directly wrote a letter to Xiao Linye, asking him to depose Xiao Lince's position as King Rui, demote him to a commoner, and then send him to the guillotine.
What's the use of a traitor who sells the country and seeks prosperity to live? It will only anger people.
In addition to announcing the crimes of the Empress Dowager and Xiao Lince, Xiao Linye also posted another imperial list explaining his life experience. He was not the emperor's biological son, but the posthumous son of the crown prince Xiao Luo. However, before the emperor died, he clearly stated that he would pass the throne to him. Many ministers present witnessed it with their own eyes, so on the eighth day of next month, he would ascend the throne as the emperor.
Xiao Lie's other princes, Xiao Linqing, Xiao Linsheng, and Xiao Linting, were surprisingly silent. It was not that they didn't want to compete for the throne, but Xiao Lince was really too ruthless to attack them. In addition to Gu, they were also highly poisonous.
None of them, the adult princes, were spared and had no cure to help. Nothing could be done except waiting for death.
Things have reached the worst level. What else can they do besides acquiesce to Xiao Lie's orthodox throne? Will they jump out and oppose it?
If they really want to jump out of opposition, not only will they die themselves, but their wives, mothers, and even children in their wives and concubines will all be buried with them.
The situation is hopeless, and they cannot stop Xiao Linye from ascending the throne. Since this is the case, it is better to abide by Xiao Linye's status. At least after they die, their women will be well taken care of by their children who have not yet been born, so they don't have to worry about their lives being embarrassed.
Therefore, after Xiao Lince made such a big deal, all the princes hated him to the core, hating him for such a cruel heart. They all rely on their ability to fight for the throne, but they cannot put all the royal children to death. After such a cruel man became the emperor, who dares to be loyal to him?
It would be strange if such a person could really ascend the throne, collude with foreign enemies, and ignore the lives of fathers, sons and brothers, and ordinary people.
Xiao Linye would not kill the Empress Dowager and Xiao Lince by himself, nor would he dirty his hands, but he would not let them go easily.
So, after promulgating their numerous crimes and before deciding to parade them in the streets, he came to the cell himself.
In just a short time, Xiao Lince became much thinner, and the arrogance all over his body completely disappeared, and replaced by lifelessness.
When we met again, Xiao Linye looked very energetic and he didn't vomit blood anymore because he ate well and slept soundly, and his face had a little flesh, and his complexion looked much better.
Xiao Lince, who became a prisoner, wanted to cut him into pieces when he saw this. "Are you here to joke with me? Xiao Linye, you are the man with the most scheming. Even if I die, I will not beg you for mercy. Even if I am a ghost, I will pester you every day and make you restless for the rest of your life!"
Bastard, he worked so hard to do so much, but in the end he made wedding dresses for others, and he got nothing, and he ended up becoming a prisoner. Who should he calculate this debt with?
"No matter how deep the scheming is, I never thought of harming my father. I ceded the sixteen southern cities to the people of Nanyue, put the people of Liang in the midst of water and fire, and even did not use the feelings of women to plan their own situation. Unfortunately, Xiao Lince, all your good luck was used up in the last life. Not only did you not become the emperor as you wish, but you also ended up being ruined."
Xiao Linye was very calm, except for the slightly raised corners of his mouth that he was in a good mood.
"King Rui, I am not here to talk to you, but to tell you that if you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. If you kill your father, the lives of several adult princes are in danger. You have also given chronic poison to you. All the sons of the father are probably lost in your hands."
"So, do you think you can escape punishment for this matter? Feng Yi and Feng Er, take King Rui and the Queen Mother into the prison car, and let them feel the anger of the people in the capital."
A fine and dense cold sweat oozed through Xiao Lince's forehead, and strong fear surged into his heart, "You actually want to parade me in the streets. Xiao Linye, you are a bastard, why do you do this? I won't go!"
"Just because I am the winner of this struggle, and I will ascend the throne to become the new emperor next month, everything in the entire Liang Kingdom is in my hands, and I can decide your destiny. And all of this is given to me by you, Xiao Lince."
Xiao Lince struggled angrily and shouted loudly, "I won't go parade in the streets. You bastards, why don't you let me go quickly and let me go--"
No matter how reluctantly he made a big fuss, the expressionless guard still put his hands and feet in shackles, put heavy shackles, and completely pushed him into the prison cart.
When he arrived outside the cell, Xiao Lince also saw the empress dowager locked in a prison car. She had always been pampered and should have been in Ningshou Palace. At this moment, her head was dissipated and her body was filled with a foul smell. She did not look as delicate and noble as before.
Until this moment, the Empress Dowager finally felt the bone-eroding regret. When Xiao Lie was the emperor, she lived such a smooth and worry-free life.
However, at that time she didn't know how to cherish it, and her eyes were red by the desire for power. She only saw Xiao Lie not listening to her words and loving the woman in Fengluan Palace wholeheartedly, so that at the end, she made mistakes and got to the point where she is now.
Xiao Linye stood beside him and looked at them, as if he was looking at an unrelated stranger, "Take them parade in the streets and walk around the important streets and alleys in the capital three times, so that they can feel the anger of the people in the capital."
The empress dowager was in a mess. She knew that it was such a time. No matter how much she played the family card, it would be impossible for Xiao Linye to let her and Xiao Lince go. But she still couldn't stand the pain of parading in the streets. Her stubborn and cold eyes fell on Xiao Linye and spoke with difficulty.
"At this point, the Ai family will not ask you to leave a way out, but can you please die happily and not humiliate the Ai family like this?"
She rarely lowered her proud and noble head, because she felt that it was too humiliating, and there was a trace of heat rising on her face.
Xiao Linye was also concise and to the point, "No! Queen Mother, have you forgotten how you tortured my mother? The mother almost died in your hands one after another, why do you give you a pleasure? And Gu's biological father was not poisoned by your venomous blood? Gu wasn't he kind to you if he didn't give you a thousand cuts."
"Go to parade in the streets and show your life. Even if you are not willing to take your lives, you will be sentenced to the people of the capital, so you can guard the imperial tomb. How did you put your father to death and go to his father's grave to repent every day."
The most painful thing is to let them live rather than die.
The prison car left and passed through the busiest market in the capital. The people who were watching early in the morning could no longer squeeze the road. When the Queen Mother and Xiao Lince's prison car passed by, the people angrily threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables at them.
"You are not allowed to die if you are a traitor who sells the country and seeks glory, and you deserve to end up like this!"
"Bad King Rui, I've been plundering our silver for a long time, and I'm going to sell us to people from the South Vietnamese country. I want us to be slaves of the country to be destroyed, why don't you die!"
"If a person like you can become the emperor, God is blind. You deserve to be driven out. You are not worthy of being a prince, and you are not worthy of being the emperor!"
All kinds of vicious insults were unbearable. The Empress Dowager and Xiao Lince were in a mess. A lot of rotten vegetables were smashed on their faces and bodies. The stench was all over their bodies, which made their stomachs roll continuously, but they could only bear it.
"Why don't you die? Are you still wasting food alive?"
"The traitor, the demon queen killed the emperor. You should go and bury him with the emperor. Who asked you to stay here?"
Wherever they went, Xiao Lince and the Empress Dowager were scolded and hurt.
At this moment, they finally felt the anger and resentment of the people, and only then did they feel how outrageous they were.
To be continued...
