Chapter 267: Shen Qingmo Wants to Become a Marquis and Prime Minister in Xiliang
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the more anxious he became.
He knew that if he missed this opportunity today, he would probably never have another chance.
What awaits him is either a dark dungeon or death.
But he didn't want either of these two results.
Now, the only one who can save him is Tuoba Ruoli!
When he thought of this, Lin Yan struggled violently and wanted to shout out.
But his mouth was stuffed tightly and he was controlled by several people, so he had no way to break free.
After trying for a long time, I was covered in sweat and my face was unnaturally flushed, but it was still useless.
He was still restrained and his mouth was stuffed full.
Lin Yan became more and more anxious and frightened. He sobbed and tears streamed down his cheeks.
A grown man was crying so hard at this moment that it was hard to watch.
If the hall was still quiet, someone might really hear the noise he made.
But at this time, the hall was filled with singing and dancing, and the clinking of glasses.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, everyone was immersed in joy.
No one knew that behind the curtain, someone was crying in despair.
Others didn't know, but the emperor soon found out because Eunuch Wang specifically told him the situation.
After hearing what Eunuch Wang said, the emperor felt even better.
He had someone bring Lin Yan here on purpose.
He knew that Tuoba Ruoli would never be able to save Lin Yan.
The reason why Lin Yan was brought here was to wait for this moment.
In the past few months, Lin Yan has suffered a lot of physical pain.
But this time, although he was physically fine, he felt heartbroken.
Give him hope first, and then let him fall into complete despair, fear and collapse.
This is...killing people without a knife!
When the celebration banquet ended, the sun was shining brightly outside.
When Tuoba Ruoli saw Lin Siqiong and Shen Qingmo being brought over, she was in a trance for a moment.
The two people in front of me still had those familiar faces, but each of them had lost a lot of weight and looked much more vicissitudes of life.
In Tuoba Ruoli's memory, her mother has always been beautiful.
Gentle and generous, bright and beautiful, with outstanding temperament...
As a once famous noble lady in the capital, all these beautiful words were attributed to my mother.
Although his father, Shen Qingmo, had no family power behind him, he was a rising star in the court that many people were optimistic about because of his outstanding talent, unusual appearance, and gentle and elegant demeanor.
These two people are a match made in heaven, a perfect match.
She has always been proud to have such parents.
But now, the parents who were praised by everyone in the past have now become the object of everyone's contempt.
Even the people on the street would spit at the names of these two people, and they became the targets of everyone's condemnation.
At this moment, my mother's face was haggard and her body was thin. She no longer had the delicate figure she once had.
My father has white hair on his head, his eyes are blind and dark, his cheeks are thin, and he looks like he is terminally ill, but his eyes are frighteningly bright.
Tuoba Ruoli was still staring at the two of them, but Shen Qingmo had already quickly run towards Tuoba Ruoli.
Although she was so thin, her movements were extremely fast, so fast that no one present could react before Tuoba Ruoli was held in Shen Qingmo's arms.
Shen Qingmo was extremely excited and directly picked up Tuoba Ruoli, even wanting to lift her high into the air.
But he was originally a weak scholar, and he had been in prison for several months. He was so thin that he was just a bag of flesh and bones. Naturally, he had no strength left and could not even lift the girl.
He even staggered and almost fell to the ground, and finally managed to steady himself.
But Shen Qingmo wasn't afraid at all, and even had a bright smile on his face, "Li'er, don't be afraid, father will protect you! He will never let you fall! You are now the crown princess of Xiliang, but you are still too young, and you don't understand the affairs of the court. But it doesn't matter, father understands! Father studied hard for more than ten years, and in recent years he has risen to prominence. No one understands the government better than me! Father will definitely help you!"
The more Shen Qingmo spoke, the more excited he became, to the point of being a little crazy.
He felt that he had seen the future!
He is the father of the Crown Princess!
He is so knowledgeable and talented, and he also understands the court of Dayong and knows many secrets.
If the Emperor of Xiliang had a clear mind, he would definitely use him, and might even directly confer him a title of nobility and appoint him as prime minister!
Although Shen Qingmo didn't say what he was thinking, it was not difficult to see it from his face.
Tuoba Ruoli didn't notice this. When she was first picked up by Shen Qingmo, she was completely stunned.
In addition, I almost fell down later, which frightened me so much that my heart beat faster and my vision went black.
After finally calming down, he smelled the indescribable smell on Shen Qingmo again.
That's the smell you only get in a dungeon.
When she smelled this scent, Tuoba Ruoli would recall the time when she was imprisoned.
That was the most disgusting moment in her short life.
"Let me go quickly!"
Tuoba Ruoli said this while struggling hard.
But she was just a child after all, and she didn't have the natural supernatural powers like Yu Youning, so she naturally couldn't push it open.
Tuoba Ruoli could only look at her maids and guards, looking at them with a cold face, "You are all dead! Hurry up and pull him away!"
Upon hearing this, the palace maids and guards did not dare to hesitate and hurried forward.
The palace maid hugged Tuoba Ruoli, and the guards pried Shen Qingmo's hands apart.
Tuoba Ruoli is finally free!
She took a few deep breaths, then suppressed her anger and said, "Hurry up——"
Before she could finish her words, Tuoba Ruoli saw several people standing by the railing on the second floor of a building not far away.
Among them are Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu.
Seeing the two of them, Tuoba Ruoli's face turned pale instantly.
Such an embarrassing scene just now was actually seen by these two people!
No!
I can't stay here any longer!
The embarrassing scene is not over yet!
As long as Shen Qingmo and Lin Siqiong stood outside, standing beside her, she was still embarrassed.
Tuoba Ruoli turned around abruptly, "Go back!"
Seeing Tuoba Ruoli leaving, Shen Qingmo struggled to catch up.
However, his strength was no match for the two guards, and in the end he had to be carried by the two guards.
Lin Siqiong, on the other hand, said nothing from beginning to end, and her facial expression did not change at all.
It was as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
When it was time to leave, she just followed silently.
Seeing them walking further and further away, Yu Youning sighed, "There's nothing to see!"
They stood here just to imagine how the couple, who had finally gained their freedom, would react when they saw their daughter whose identity had changed drastically.
Shen Qingmo's reaction was seen.
That's really cheeky!
I didn't seem to care much about Tuoba Ruoli before.
But now, when facing Tuoba Ruoli, he was like a fox relying on the power of others to bully others, and also like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy.
But why didn't Lin Siqiong say a word from beginning to end?
Moreover, Lin Siqiong had her back to them, so they couldn't even see her expression or eyes.
Chu Huaixu turned around and saw Yu Youning's face full of disappointment, and couldn't help laughing.
"Do you really want to see it?" Chu Huaixu asked with a smile.
Yu Youning nodded, "I do!"
"Then I'll take you to see it!"
"Ah?" Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaixu in surprise. "You're taking me to see it? How? Aren't they staying at the Royal Inn? Even if we go, she definitely won't let us see it!"
"They are staying at the Royal Inn, but not all of the Royal Inn is given to them. We can go there quietly. There is a building with a great location. With a telescope, we should be able to see clearly."
The more Yu Youning listened, the brighter her eyes became. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
If you go too late, you won’t be able to see anything.
Huo Qingchen and Wen Xiangli stood nearby and heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Huo Qingchen hesitated, "Wouldn't this be a good idea?"
Yu Youning ran forward without looking back, "Then don't go!"
Before Huo Qingchen could say anything, Wen Xiangli had already run out.
Seeing this, Huo Qingchen immediately chased after him, and at the same time changed his words, "It's not impossible to take a look!"
Although they left the palace later, they took a shorter route and entered the Royal Post Station from the back door. They soon arrived at the building Chu Huaixu mentioned and reached the third floor.
There are actually several telescopes placed here!
Chu Huaixu explained with a smile, "I think Liuyun asked the secret guards to deliver it earlier!"
Huo Qingchen, "..."
He was sure that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
Otherwise, how could he do it so skillfully!
How is it possible to cooperate so well!
While Huo Qingchen was still sighing in his heart, Yu Youning had already picked up a telescope, walked to the window, and quietly looked outside.
"I see it! They went into the house!"
"Let me see too!"
As Huo Qingchen spoke, he quickly picked up another one and stood by another window to look out.
Looking at it from this angle,
Huo Qingchen's heart moved and he immediately changed his position.
This time I saw another yard.
If the windows in the yard were open,
At this moment, Huo Qingchen suddenly realized.
It turns out that this building was built here on purpose!
Just standing on this building with a telescope, you can see what's happening in every yard.
This is really...
Chu Huaixu noticed Huo Qingchen's actions and naturally knew that Huo Qingchen had discovered this.
"This is the royal post station. Those who live here are either from Xiliang or Nanzhao. It's always better to be careful." Chu Huaixu said lightly.
Huo Qingchen nodded in agreement this time, "Your Highness is right!"
