Chapter 310: Always with the Green Lantern
Thinking of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Emperor looked in the direction of Lu Zhong and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Queen, why don't you tell me how you found out about this?"
"Or tell me, among those guarding the Queen's bedroom, how many of them are from the Queen's and the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The Queen and Lu Zhong were so frightened by the Emperor's words that they broke out in cold sweats.
Lu Zhong secretly blamed the Queen for being so careless. They had been secretly making arrangements for many years, so how could there be no one available in such a huge palace?
Now, because of the Queen's actions, the Emperor will definitely conduct an investigation, and by then I'm afraid there will be heavy losses.
Lu Zhong knelt on the ground hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, how dare I place my own people in the palace? Even if I have a hundred guts, I would not dare to do this."
The emperor said, "Don't you dare? The Prime Minister is being a little too modest."
Lu Zhong's clothes were soaked with sweat. He lay on the ground and cried out that he was innocent. He absolutely wouldn't dare to do that.
The Queen and the Fifth Princess knelt in the center of the hall, one collapsed with fear, the other wept silently.
"Send the Queen and the Fifth Princess back to the palace. If this happens again, all the palace guards will be executed."
The emperor spoke everything calmly, as if he didn't care at all about the lives of those people.
In the emperor's heart, there is no use keeping someone who is disloyal to him.
Xie Shiyin cried, "Father, please don't let me marry to Xiling. I want to stay with you."
No matter what happened in the past, even though the emperor would scold her a few times, he still loved her very much.
Now she is using the same old trick again, hoping that the emperor will agree to her request as he did in the past.
The emperor's eyes were firm: "Okay, if Yin'er doesn't want to marry into the Xiling Kingdom, then don't marry."
"Thank you, father, for your agreement." Xie Shiyin said happily.
The emperor was still the father who loved her so much. As long as she begged with tears, he would agree to her request.
The emperor smiled when he saw her delighted look.
"No problem. Since you don't want to marry into Xiling Country, I will have someone send you to a temple when the envoy leaves the city. It would be nice to always be with the ancient Buddha and the green lamps."
"Your Majesty?" the Queen asked in shock.
When she heard that the emperor agreed that Xie Shiyin should not marry, she was still trying to comfort herself.
Even if the emperor found out and had her own people in the palace, at least she would keep Xie Shiyin in Shangjing City.
But when the queen heard the emperor's next words, she looked incredulous.
She didn't understand why the emperor, who had doted on Xie Shiyin in the past, became so cruel because of this matter.
The emperor's expression softened: "If the queen is worried about Yin'er going alone, she can go with her."
Travel together? As the queen, how could she always be with the ancient Buddha?
"Your Majesty, I will take Yin'er back to the palace right now. Please calm down."
Xie Shiyin wanted to go forward and ask for the emperor's consent, but the queen ordered her to drag her out of the hall.
She knew that this time the emperor was determined to marry Xie Shiyin off to a distant place, and there was no room for negotiation.
A birthday banquet ended with a farce between the Queen and Xie Shiyin.
The Queen Mother watched everything indifferently and did not say a word until the birthday banquet was over.
She is old and doesn't want to bother with those young people. She just wants them to stay out of trouble in front of her.
Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan sent the Queen Mother back to the bedroom, and they returned to the Regent's Palace together.
As soon as he stepped into the study, Xie Lingxiao picked up Shen Jingxuan and said, "Xuan'er, let's work hard now."
Shen Jingxuan blushed: "You..."
Xie Lingxiao put her on the couch and chuckled, "Okay, even if you work hard you have to wait until night, you can rest first."
Shen Jingxuan patted Xie Lingxiao's shoulder lightly, then lay in his arms and closed her eyes.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's words, Shen Jingxuan said, "Ah Xiao, if we really have a child, do you hope it will be a boy or a girl?"
"The girl is well-behaved and obedient." Xie Lingxiao said.
Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "There are also well-behaved and obedient boys."
"Xuan'er, as long as it's our child, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
Shen Jingxuan wanted to continue talking, but she heard footsteps coming from the door.
The two of them turned their heads and saw Li Luo coming to the study with a letter.
"Xuan'er, I don't know who sent this letter to the clinic, and your name is written on it."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why was my letter sent to the clinic?"
She never told anyone that letters to her could be sent to the clinic.
Before Shen Jingxuan could take it, Xie Lingxiao took the letter away first.
"Since you don't know who it is, you should be more careful. Let me help you."
Just as Xie Lingxiao opened the letter, Ling Feng quickly came to the study: "My Lord, Chen Yuqian is missing."
A few days ago, she had been staying obediently in the inn. Just now, the person who was guarding her sent back news that she had not been seen going out all day.
By the time those people realized something was wrong, Chen Yuqian was no longer in the room.
"If they can't even keep an eye on a person who doesn't have any skills, what's the point of having them?"
"Send someone to look for her. We must find her as soon as possible."
When Ling Feng heard what Xie Lingxiao said, he looked worried: "I've been looking for her, but I haven't found her yet."
"We just received news that we have searched most of the capital city, but still can't find anyone."
With the help of those people from Luofeng Temple, it would be extremely difficult for Chen Yuqian, who had no skills at all, to leave under their guard.
But such a thing happened, and for a moment he couldn't understand the reason.
Xie Lingxiao said angrily: "Keep looking, even if we have to dig three feet deep to find him."
People kept an eye on her all the time, because they were worried that she would have some evil intentions and cause trouble for Shen Jingxuan.
Now that she suddenly disappeared, Xie Lingxiao had to think more.
After Ling Feng left, Li Luo asked, "Should we send someone from the Scarlet Flame Temple to help look for it?"
Shen Jingxuan wanted to say no, the people from Luofeng Temple would be enough.
Xie Lingxiao said, "Okay, it will be much faster if we look for it together."
Li Luo urged, "Read the letter first. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace and give you instructions later."
After being reminded by Li Luo, Xie Lingxiao remembered the letter in his hand, and he hurriedly opened it to check.
Seeing that his expression was becoming increasingly grim, Shen Jingxuan reached out to take the letter back and checked it herself.
When she saw the name on the signature, her hand holding the letter trembled and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
Shen Jingxuan secretly cursed Zhao Yilian for being a show-off, but when she wrote a letter, she actually signed it with Liangliang.
At this moment, she felt nauseous holding the letter in her hand and threw it back into Xie Lingxiao's hands.
"What is he going to do?"
Xie Lingxiao looked at her actions, and the corners of his lips gradually curled up: "This letter is quite dirty, I'll just read it to you, so as not to dirty Xuan'er's eyes."
"Zhao Yiliang just told you to be careful of Chen Yuqian because he saw Chen Yuqian go to the posthouse."
"Besides, before Chen Yuqian went to the posthouse, she went to the Blood Demon Alliance."
Xie Lingxiao was somewhat confused. He didn't know when Zhao Yiliang became so familiar with Shen Jingxuan that he was willing to spread such news.
It is not difficult to understand Chen Yuqian's intention when she went to the Blood Evil Alliance. She just wanted to ask the Blood Evil Alliance to do something.
But Zhao Yiliang did this. Was he going to leave the money he had earned unprofitable just to make Shen Jingxuan more careful?
As perceptive as Xie Lingxiao was, he didn't believe that Zhao Yiliang would be so kind.
He must have other thoughts in mind.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled and asked, "Why did he tell me if he knew? Could it be that Chen Yuqian's purpose in going to the Blood Demon Alliance was me?"
No one would believe him, a man who values money so much as his life, if he said now that he didn't want to earn this money.
"It's not mentioned in the letter." Xie Lingxiao glanced at Shen Jingxuan.
Seeing that Li Luo was still standing here, he told him that there was no need to send anyone to patrol anymore, and Li Luo turned and left.
When the door closed, Xie Lingxiao approached Shen Jingxuan and said, "Why don't you explain to your husband, when did you become so familiar with Zhao Yiliang?"
He remembered that he had once reminded Shen Jingxuan that Zhao Yilian was not as simple as he appeared.
He even told Shen Jingxuan how difficult Zhao Yilian was.
But after reading the letter just now, Xie Lingxiao didn't believe that Zhao Yiliang would be like this just because he and Shen Jingxuan had only met a few times.
