Chapter 73 I want to seize power and become the empress!
No matter what, they have now successfully found the fourth princess, and they can finally go back to report to the emperor!
They knelt on one knee in front of Shen Qingtang and saluted with their fists: "Please return to the palace immediately, Fourth Princess."
Shen Qingtang:...
[I knew it would be like this! ]
Looking at Shen Qingtang's slightly wrinkled brows, Lu Jiuan's eyes were filled with a trace of heartache.
He said considerately: "I don't know if the fourth princess has anything else to deal with. I can stay here for a few more days."
This time there were several other guards present, and Lu Jiuan couldn't let Shen Qingtang escape.
After Shen Qingtang goes back this time, it will be even more difficult to leave the palace again.
Lu Jiuan hopes that Shen Qingtang can stay outside for a few more days.
Shen Qingtang looked at Lu Jiuan gratefully when he heard this.
[I guess I was not kind to you in vain before. 】
"I do have some things to deal with."
She turned her head and looked at the dead soldiers on the ground, her eyes showing a trace of guilt.
【I obviously wanted to bring people to rescue the girls, but instead they all died here. 】
The next moment, the guilt in Shen Qingtang's eyes turned into anger.
【No, this is not my fault. The instigator of all this is Beiming Kingdom and Xie Jingchen. 】
【Even if I didn't come today, the girls would die here, and Yun County would eventually become a land of corpses. 】
Lu Jiuan was surprised.
Beiming Kingdom? Xie Jingchen?
Could it be that all these people who committed suicide were spies of Beiming Kingdom? And the person who escaped just now?
[It was Xie Jingchen who made all my efforts of so many days go to waste. In his eyes, human life is as worthless as grass. When I was killed by Shen Muxin, Xie Jingchen also played a role. ]
Lu Jiuan secretly took note of this matter. He would definitely protect the fourth princess.
[You bastard, I must get rid of this disaster! ]
[However, with my current strength, I can't compete with Xie Jingchen at all. ]
Shen Qingtang's eyes fell on Lu Jiuan.
[Lu Jiuan can beat him. ]
[During this time, I have been running around to seek support. In the final analysis, it is because I don't have my own power. ]
[Abandoning the identity of a princess, I will encounter certain obstacles in doing anything. If I have my own power, I can compete with Xie Jingchen. 】
Shen Qingtang looked at the guards in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
【My father is determined to capture me and bring me back. No matter how many times I escape, my father will not give up. In this case, I will go back. 】
Witnessing the tragic death of the people with his own eyes today, it had a huge impact on Shen Qingtang's heart.
【Xie Jingchen is the prince of Beiming Kingdom and holds great power. I must have the right to resist him. 】
【Before, I wanted to see Xie Jingchen and Shen Muxin fight each other, but now I have changed my mind. I don't want Fengyin Kingdom to be destroyed, and I don't want the people of Fengyin Kingdom to die tragically. 】
【There are many ways to teach my father, mother and brother a lesson. There is no need to sacrifice so many lives of the people. They don't deserve it. 】
Shen Qingtang's eyes became firm.
[I have decided, I will seize power and become the empress!]
[Isn't the throne what father cares about the most? I will take the throne away in front of him when he is most desperate!]
[If you want to compete for the throne, you need to find some allies. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It doesn't matter. It will just let father, mother and brother have a taste of being betrayed by Shen Muchen.]
Lu Jiuan was shocked when he heard this.
The fourth princess actually wants to seize power!
No, the emperor must not know about this.
Shen Qingtang turned around and looked at Li Yi, and smiled at him faintly: "Sir Li, you protected me today. I will ask father to reward you."
[Build up power, starting now! 】
【Li Yi has a pure character, is loyal and patriotic, and is a good candidate. 】
Li Yi did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly.
Saving the princess is a great achievement!
"Thank you, Fourth Princess!" Li Yi excitedly knelt down in front of Shen Qingtang.
"Fourth Princess." Li Yi pointed to the officers and soldiers behind him, and said earnestly, "I also want to ask for some rewards for them."
Shen Qingtang bent down and supported Li Yi's arm to let him stand up.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Lord Li, can you please talk to me for a moment."
Shen Qingtang took Li Yi to the side. Lu Jiuan looked puzzled. What was there that he couldn't hear?
Shen Qingtang reminded Li Yi: "Lord Li, please keep my identity here a secret for me."
If Xie Jingchen knew that Ye Qing was her, it would be troublesome.
She didn't want to confront Xie Jingchen head-on with her real identity yet.
"Yes, Fourth Princess, I will keep this a secret." Li Yi nodded.
Shen Qingtang handed Li Yi several full storage bags.
"Lord Li, take these things and distribute them to the girls and the families of the officers and soldiers. You must appease their emotions. I will ask for another reward from my father."
Li Yi was moved, and his hand holding the storage bag trembled slightly.
"Thank you, Fourth Princess!"
The Fourth Princess really loves the people like her own children!
Shen Qingtang's series of actions today left a very good impression on Li Yi.
Shen Qingtang looked serious and looked at Li Yi seriously.
"Lord Li, we are now friends for life. You must not tell anyone else what I am going to say next."
Li Yi nodded solemnly at Shen Qingtang, "Don't worry, Fourth Princess. I swear to heaven that I will never tell anyone!"
Shen Qingtang was very satisfied with Li Yi's attitude. She was right.
"Lord Li, actually these are all from Beiming Country."
Li Yi's eyes widened immediately and he exclaimed in a low voice: "What, they are actually from Beiming Country!"
Shen Qingtang continued: "Lord Li, actually I was the one who survived the thunder tribulation on Lingquan Mountain that day. I used the thunder to find the girls' whereabouts."
"After I survived the thunder tribulation, two people came to the house I rented on Lingquan Mountain to arrest me. One of them was a subordinate of Zhao Shuquan, and the other was a spy from Beiming Country."
"On my way to escape, I met an old woman named Li Guifang. She was Miss Lan'er's grandmother. The old woman told me that I could swim out of the river. Not long after I jumped into the river, the two people ran out and beat the old woman to death."
"I took advantage of their inattention and sneaked out to kill them. If you find out that one of the town chief's men is missing, it's my fault."
Li Yi understood immediately, "Don't worry, Fourth Princess, I know what to do."
Whenever a case occurs, it is necessary to investigate the incident and record it in detail. He will not let the Fourth Princess appear in this case.
