Chapter 124 Fengyin Kingdom can still be saved!
Li Mu put his sword against Shang Shijin's delicate neck. As long as he exerted a little force, he could kill Shang Shijin.
Seeing this, everyone had to stop attacking, after all, that was General Lu's mother.
After the previous round of attacks, Li Mu's guards were running out.
Li Mu ordered his subordinates, "Everyone retreat."
They retreated in front of Li Mu and protected him.
Li Mu grabbed Shang Shijin's shoulders tightly and threatened him fiercely: "Hurry up and tell your son to stop, or I will kill you."
Shang Shijin answered without hesitation: "You are dreaming!"
"I am not a coward!"
When Lu Jiuan left the imperial city, he specially sent someone to look after Shang Shijin. However, Duan Ci was insidious and cunning. He tricked Shang Shijin, who was concerned about his son's safety, out on the pretext that Lu Jiuan was seriously injured, and kidnapped and imprisoned him. The guards who went with him were also killed.
Shang Shijin knew why they arrested her, which was to use her to threaten her son.
It was she who believed the enemy's words and gave the enemy an opportunity.
She will pay the price for her mistakes.
Shang Shijin's only wish was to see Lu Jiuan again, and now her wish has been fulfilled.
Shang Shijin's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Lu Jiuan and Shen Qingtang lovingly.
"An'er, mother will always love you."
As soon as the words fell, Shang Shijin stretched her neck and leaned towards the sword. Li Mu never expected that this seemingly weak and incompetent woman would have such a strong character. Before he could react, Shang Shijin was dead.
"Mother!!!"
Lu Jiuan cried heartbreakingly, as if as long as his voice was loud enough, his mother would survive.
His eyes were red and veins on his hands were bulging. This was the first time Shen Qingtang saw Lu Jiuan so angry.
Shen Qingtang didn't say anything just now because she was afraid that Li Mu would kill someone. Now that Shang Shijin is dead, there is no threat. Shen Qingtang felt very sorry. She could feel Lu Jiuan's sadness.
Lu Jiuan was like a mad tiger, rushing towards Li Mu and others like crazy.
"I want you to be buried with my mother!!!"
Shang Shijin had a sense of justice. He sacrificed himself for the country, and everyone was deeply moved.
No one commanded them. They followed Lu Jiuan and killed.
"Kill!!!"
If Lu Jiuan had the intention to kill, no one would be able to get out alive.
Li Mu was no match for Lu Jiuan at all, and he killed him with one move.
Li Mu was not dead yet, and he was still hanging on. Next, Lu Jiuan was going to torture him severely.
"Fourth Princess, please close your eyes." Lu Jiuan was worried that the scene was too cruel and would dirty Shen Qingtang's eyes.
"Okay."
Shen Qingtang could guess what Lu Jiuan wanted to do, so she closed her eyes obediently. The next moment, she heard the screams of ghosts and wolves howling in her ears. Just by listening to the sound, she knew how miserable he was now.
The screams lasted for a long time before they stopped. After a while, Lu Jiuan spoke again: "Fourth Princess, you can open your eyes."
Shen Qingtang looked around, but even Li Mu's body was gone on the ground.
Shen Qingtang no longer cared about Li Mu, and quickly ordered people to clean up the battlefield, comfort the people, and rescue other officials who were under house arrest.
Thanks to Shen Qingtang who told Pei Han everything before leaving the imperial city, the officials were saved.
It's a pity that Shang Shijin was imprisoned alone by Duan Ci, and Pei Han couldn't save him.
Shen Qingtang accompanied Lu Jiuan to bury Shang Shijin. As for the funeral of Shen Tianming and others, Shen Qingtang asked for everything to be kept simple on the grounds of a special period.
After handling all the affairs, the imperial city finally returned to its former tranquility.
The emperor, empress and the second prince were all dead, and Shen Qingtang was the only one left in the palace. Everyone in the palace respected Shen Qingtang.
Shen Qingtang and Lu Jiuan were both very busy, and neither of them slept all night.
Since a riot had just occurred in the palace, Fengyin Kingdom was now facing attacks from Beiming Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom at the same time. Even if Shen Qingtang was not the emperor, he could still act as the emperor.
At the court meeting the next day, Shen Qingtang sat on the dragon chair in a yellow robe and scolded the officials.
The officials were scolded so much that they couldn't even raise their heads. If it weren't for the fourth princess and General Lu, they would really have become prisoners.
Everyone felt deeply guilty, and the four words "be prepared for danger in times of peace" were deeply engraved in their hearts.
Shen Qingtang used both kindness and force. After the lecture, he gave them a sweet date.
After all, the officials who were imprisoned were not traitors, but people from Fengyin Kingdom.
After hearing this, everyone straightened their backs a little.
That's right, compared to those traitors, they are much better!
Shen Qingtang saw their every move, and now it was time to fight back. It is
a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Shen Qingtang gave them a chance to make amends.
After this experience, everyone will turn over a new leaf, complete their own jobs well, and never slack off again.
Shen Qingtang has clear logic, courage and strategy, and uses both kindness and power. Her imperial demeanor awes people.
In addition, it was Shen Qingtang who brought people to rescue them, so the officials were convinced of her.
Seeing this, Shen Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, and her worries were resolved.
This foreign invasion...
"Report!!!"
Thinking of this, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.
"Urgent report from the border!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." The guards were stunned. Why was the fourth princess sitting on the dragon chair? Where is the emperor?
Seeing the guards standing there in a daze, Shen Qingtang urged: "Hurry up and tell me!"
After being yelled at by Shen Qingtang, the guards no longer bothered about this matter.
"Fourth Princess, it's bad, General Li was killed in battle!"
Everyone was shocked!
What?! General Li is dead?
Shen Qingtang's face changed when she heard this. She had seen Li Yi's skills before. He was definitely not someone that ordinary people could kill.
"Tell me clearly, what happened?"
"Fourth Princess, I don't know what means the Beiming Kingdom used. Their people's magic power suddenly became stronger, and our soldiers suffered heavy losses."
"They surrounded General Li, and General Li had to self-destruct his soul and die with them."
"If it weren't for General Li, we wouldn't be able to hold on at all."
"The Beiming Kingdom may come back soon. By then, we..."
Thinking of this, the guards' faces turned pale.
"And, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
The officials were terrified when they heard this, and they asked questions one after another.
"What happened to the Crown Prince?"
"The Crown Prince also died on the battlefield..."
"What?! How could this happen!"
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Shen Qingtang.
The fourth princess is the only one left in the Fengyin Kingdom's royal family.
Fortunately, the fourth princess is no longer the stupid princess she used to be. There is still hope for Fengyin Kingdom!
At this moment, Shen Qingtang has become the emperor in everyone's mind.
