Chapter 1315: The Mermaid in the Mansion
The side hall became extremely quiet again.
After the guards finished their report, they stood by, waiting for the new emperor's next instructions, not daring to leave at will.
After Shi Li got over her initial surprise, she looked at Xiao Shuang eagerly.
"Xiao Shuang, do you like beautiful pearls? I'll give you a string of shark pearls to make a necklace. It will look good on you."
The new emperor was almost amused by Shi Li's sudden flattery. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know that Wenren Ding is for you? I think they may have had rebellious intentions for a long time?"
"Your Majesty, please give me a chance. I promise that it won't cost you a single soldier. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and must have many ambitions to achieve. It is not worth wasting your time on this matter."
Shi Li pinched her fingers nervously, not knowing whether she could persuade the new emperor, but she had to give it a try. If Wen Ren Ding really started a war for her, she would become a sinner.
She was really anxious. She had experienced too much in the past two days. Tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes one by one, turning into beads on the ground.
Warm and bright.
Xiao Shuang had just imagined what it would be like if a mermaid shed tears like pearls. Now seeing Shi Li like this, she immediately reached out to wipe her tears, and hurriedly but distressedly advised: "Don't cry, if you have anything to say, just talk to me. My brother will definitely solve it. My brother is the best!"
The new emperor named: …
"Forget it, I'll just give it a try."
The new emperor stretched out his hand and pressed his brows, looked at Xiaoshuang helplessly, and coaxed her softly, "You play with these mermaid beads first, I will take this mermaid girl to solve the problem."
"Okay, okay, go and do great things! Don't cry, my brother said he will help you." Xiao Shuang seemed to have a natural liking for Shi Li. He smiled and comforted her while wiping her face.
At the same time, the scattered soldiers gathered by Wen Ren Ding overnight were already standing outside the city gate.
With him at the head, everyone stood in a row with solemn expressions and without saying a word.
These stragglers were once homeless or even terminally ill. They were saved by the Wen family, so they responded to the call today.
People of this era value promises and favors. Their lives were saved by the Wenren Family, so today they will obey Wenren Ding's orders without any hesitation.
As time passed, Wen Ren Ding's face became more and more solemn. His fingers couldn't help but touch the sword, and he used only the last bit of his remaining rationality to restrain himself.
In another stick of incense, he would break through the city gate.
If Lili died, he would also want the culprit to be buried with her, no matter if it was Su Sheng, the prince, or the emperor.
No one even dared to tell him that the emperor had died the night before and that the former crown prince had now ascended the throne.
On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city were sweating profusely.
Too many twists and turns happened in this day and night. They had been guarding the imperial capital safely and securely, and never expected that someone would gather so many troops and march to the city without bloodshed.
If it was the previous emperor, he would have ordered people to shoot arrows and kill without mercy. But when it came to the new emperor on his first day on the throne, no one knew what he was thinking, and he actually told them not to act rashly.
The current situation does not allow them to act rashly. Wen Ren Ding is full of murderous intent, as if he is ready to tear down the city gate at any time. How should they resist?
If a fight really breaks out, will you kill them first? Or will you try to capture them alive?
The generals defending the city frowned, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Behind him, he suddenly heard the chanting of His Majesty himself. The general was stunned for a moment, and then he actually felt relieved.
Anyway, the new emperor is here, and no matter what happens, there will be someone to make the decisions, so he can't be blamed.
The new emperor hurried in from the palace, wearing only a cloak over his dragon robe. He walked past the generals and came to the top of the city wall.
As soon as he stood still, Wen Ren Ding looked up as if he sensed something.
The dark gaze startled the new emperor slightly.
Then he chuckled gracefully, the sound neither loud nor soft, and was carried by the wind to Wen Ren Ding's ears.
"What do you want? My world?"
Wen Ren Ding didn't think twice and drew the sword from his waist, pointing it at the new emperor.
"Give me back my wife."
The general defending the city: I seem to have heard some incredible gossip! It turns out that the new emperor is such a new emperor!
New Emperor: ...
The new emperor knew what everyone present was thinking without even thinking, and his gentle smile began to crack.
Bastard! This is simply destroying his reputation!
