Chapter 121: Died on the battlefield
That night, Shen Qingtang and Fu Yong sneaked into the governor's mansion. At this time, the governor Zhao Xin had already fallen asleep.
Shen Qingtang looted a lot of spiritual medicines from the Imperial Medical Hospital. She blew a burst of smoke into it. Under the effect of the high-level smoke, Zhao Xin completely fainted.
Shen Qingtang and Fu Yong climbed in through the window. She drew out the spiritual sword and slashed Zhao Xin's neck with one sword.
In Fu Yong's surprised eyes, Shen Qingtang opened the secret room in the house and found all the letters between Zhao Xin and Dong Ling.
"This......!" Fu Yong stared at Shen Qingtang in amazement and exclaimed in a low voice, "Princess, how did you know there was a secret room here?"
Her Royal Highness was simply amazing! Moreover, she had just killed someone in a clean and tidy manner, without mercy.
Fu Yong admitted that he had indeed underestimated the princess before.
Shen Qingtang lied without blushing: "It was discovered by General Lu's men."
General Lu? Could it be Lu Jiuan?
Fu Yong nodded slightly: "I see."
Although General Fu was framed by traitors in the court, the Fu family has a very good reputation in Huizhou. With the evidence in Shen Qingtang's hands, it will be easier for them to handle things in the future.
The next day, Shen Qingtang brought General Fu and Fu Yong to the governor's mansion, put the evidence in front of everyone, and then let General Fu temporarily take over the position of governor in the name of the princess.
The enemy is about to attack. As long as someone can protect the safety of the people, anyone can be the governor.
Not to mention the popular General Fu.
Shen Qingtang: "General Fu, I'll leave this to you. I need to go back to take charge of the situation."
"There is no news about the crown prince and the second prince. Your Highness, you must protect your own safety. Otherwise, I will let Yong'er escort you back?" General Fu looked worried.
Shen Qingtang raised her hand to stop them and said, "No, your most important task now is to resist the foreign enemies. It will be much more convenient for me to move alone."
"Take these things and make sure to protect the safety of the people."
Shen Qingtang raised her hand and waved it. A dozen boxes appeared in front of everyone. They were filled with spiritual stones and spiritual medicines, which she had deceived from the dog emperor before.
Seeing this, everyone knelt down in front of Shen Qingtang, their eyes were firm and their voices were strong.
"Thank you, Princess!"
"We will do our best to resist the enemy!"
"Everyone, you will have trouble later." Shen Qingtang said and turned away.
After Shen Qingtang left, Fu Yong helped General Fu up, "Dad, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should not work too hard. You should recuperate at home, and let me do all these things."
General Fu looked at Fu Yong with loving eyes, "Yong'er, Dad knows that you are a filial and good child, but at this time, Dad cannot retreat. It was the princess who saved my life, and I will repay her with my death."
Fu Yong clenched his fists and stopped persuading him, "Okay, Dad, your son will accompany you!"
Fu Yong turned around and looked at his wife and daughter beside him. His life was worth it!
......
Shen Qingtang disguised herself as a man and returned to a dense forest outside the imperial city. Fortunately, no one followed her along the way.
A psychedelic array was set up in the dense forest, and Shen Qingtang walked in with ease.
Hidden in the formation are a group of powerful guards, all of whom were Lu Jiuan's former loyal subordinates.
Before leaving the imperial city, Shen Qingtang went to find Lu Jiuan and asked him to find a way to leave the imperial city with a team of people.
Lu Jiuan knew that Shen Qingtang wanted to seize the throne, and he was willing to lend her a hand, so he obeyed Duan Ci's order and left the imperial city.
After Shen Qingtang left the imperial city, Lu Jiuan had been worried about Shen Qingtang's safety. Now that he saw her return safely, the big stone in his heart could finally be put down.
When Shen Qingtang came back, Lu Jiuan was training guards. These guards were all Lu Jiuan's confidants, and they were squeezed out just like Lu Jiuan.
Everyone bowed respectfully to Shen Qingtang.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
They all knew about the accident of the Emperor and Empress. They were already dissatisfied with the fact that the Emperor favored treacherous and treacherous ministers and distanced himself from wise and virtuous ministers. The Emperor's death was fine, but Fengyin Kingdom could not fall into the hands of the enemy.
They were not fools, and their hearts were as clear as a mirror. General Lu was going to join the princess!
Although they did not have much contact with Shen Qingtang, they believed in Lu Jiuan's judgment, and they chose to join the princess!
Lu Jiuan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Fourth Princess, did you encounter any danger on this trip?"
Shen Qingtang shook her head: "I'm fine."
Lu Jiuan looked at Shen Qingtang furtively, and seeing that she was indeed fine, he continued to ask: "What about General Fu's illness?"
"General Fu's illness has been cured." Shen Qingtang smiled.
"The Fourth Princess is so amazing!" Lu Jiuan felt sincere admiration for Shen Qingtang. In this way, there would be a general to resist the Dongling Kingdom.
Lu Jiuan is trustworthy in the Fu family!
"General Lu, is there any news about my eldest brother and second brother?" Shen Qingtang asked.
[It has been several days. What on earth have they been doing?
Lu Jiuan's expression suddenly became solemn. It would be better not to let his brothers know this news. "
Fourth Princess, can you please talk to me for a moment ?"
Lu Jiuan and Shen Qingtang walked into the tent next to them. Lu Jiuan lowered his head and spoke slowly: "Fourth Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has..."
"What happened to him?" Shen Qingtang asked impatiently.
"On the day when the Emperor was killed, the Beiming Kingdom also launched a war. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died on the battlefield before he could receive the news... Xiao Hening secretly followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the north. After hearing the news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's death, she also committed suicide." Lu Jiuan's expression became heavier.
Shen Qingtang sat on the chair, and her hand holding the teacup paused slightly.
Shen Junlin really died on the battlefield. 】
【I just didn't expect Xiao Hening to like Shen Junlin so much that she was willing to live and die with him. 】
【I admire them for this. 】
【However, based on what they did to me before, they deserved this ending. 】
"My eldest brother is so pitiful. The people of Fengyin will always remember him." Shen Qingtang looked sad and slowly put down the teacup, "What about my second brother?"
"The second prince is still missing." Lu Jiuan answered.
"Missing?" Shen Qingtang murmured softly.
[According to Shen Chengyu's character, he would definitely go to his good friend, but it's a pity that his good friend is a spy from the enemy country. He might have been killed now.]
[No, Duan Ci and the others must have known that Shen Junlin was dead. They haven't made the next move yet, which proves that Shen Chengyu is not dead yet.]
Shen Qingtang suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.
"General Lu, to catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. Tomorrow night, I will pretend to be the second emperor and lure Duan Ci and the others out of the imperial city. You will follow me to kill Duan Ci and the others, and let Captain Luo take this opportunity to lead the guards to retake the imperial city."
Luo Feng is one of Lu Jiuan's capable subordinates. He has great magical powers and is a famous master in the imperial city. Shen Qingtang is relieved to have him lead the troops to fight.
Lu Jiuan: "Fourth Princess, your idea is good, but it may not be enough for just the two of us. The three of them are used to using underhanded tricks to hurt people. I am worried about your safety, and I am a little short of manpower at the moment."
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. I can only do this." Shen Qingtang looked up at him, "Don't worry about manpower. By tomorrow night, the soldiers transferred from the neighboring county should arrive."
Lu Jiuan was a little surprised: "The support came so quickly?"
He suddenly reacted: "Fourth Princess, could it be that you guessed that the emperor would be..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Jiuan kept silent. How could he forget that the fourth princess could predict the future.
