Chapter 82 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant (40)
"Cheng Yi, kill them!"
At Qin Weicang's command, a group of men in black surrounded the main hall.
Lord Yang exclaimed in alarm, "Prince Cheng is indeed a traitorous minister! Prince Cheng has rebelled!"
Qin Weicang, unable to contain himself any longer, pressed his temples and said, "Cheng Yi, kill him for me first!"
Cheng Yi lowered his voice and said "Yes," then gave a wink to the men in black. Half of the men in black nodded and then pointed their knives at their companions.
In a short time, most of the men in black were also killed.
Those who remained were not among Cheng Wang's men.
King Cheng could feel a short sword pressed against his neck. He said in disbelief, "Cheng Yi, you actually betrayed me?!"
Cheng Yi tore off the disguise mask from his face and said, "Make sure you see clearly whether I am really your Cheng Yi."
"You, you all..."
"You planned this all along, you traitors and rebels are..."
Before Qin Weicang could finish speaking, a large gushing of blood gushed from his mouth. His eyes were wide open in a rage, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and his finger trembled as he pointed in Qin Zheng's direction.
Her lips moved, and she uttered a few indistinct words, "Qin Zheng, you'll die a horrible death—"
After saying that, his hands fell limply to his sides.
Cheng Yi, who had made the move behind him, returned to Qin Zheng's side. Qin Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"
Then Qin Zheng turned to the assembled ministers and said, "Qin Zheng must first apologize to all of you. I sensed long ago that my uncle harbored ulterior motives, and thus I have been on guard against him. Unexpectedly..."
Qin Zheng shook her head helplessly, "But now the treacherous officials have been eliminated, it's a pity that Father Emperor is also..."
After saying this, he bowed apologetically to Xie Hanzhou and said, "On behalf of my father, I apologize to Your Majesty and Princess Yunluo. I hope that Your Majesty will consider the relationship between our two countries and not take my father's mistake against the ministers and people of our neighboring country."
Xie Hanzhou looked at him with amusement, then nodded.
"I am not a petty person. Since those who deserved to die are already dead, I will naturally not hold a grudge against the innocent people."
"Moreover, I have hit it off with His Highness the Crown Prince at first sight, and I would not want to offend him."
"Your Highness is brave, resourceful, and considerate of the overall situation. It is thought that in the future, the neighboring country will have a crown prince... no, Your Majesty, which will be a blessing for the neighboring country."
"I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
Xie Hanzhou waved his sleeve and left openly with Yu Sheng, and no one dared to stop him.
After the two men left, all the ministers knelt down in unison, shouting, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Qin Zheng smiled and cleared her throat. "My lords, please rise. It is truly inappropriate for you to address me as such."
“Your Highness, now that His Majesty has passed away, the throne should rightfully be inherited by Your Highness. Therefore, Your Highness is naturally worthy of this title.”
Qin Zheng sighed, "Alright, I have been entrusted with this important task in this time of crisis. The most important thing now is the funeral of my father."
"I remember that there are many concubines in the palace. In the past, they were all forcibly abducted by my father. Now that my father has passed away, I will allow the concubines to leave the palace and reunite with their families."
The ministers looked at each other, their trust in Qin Zheng growing even stronger.
After all, most of the ministers' families had suffered at the hands of that tyrannical emperor. Now that the tyrannical emperor was dead and Qin Zheng had taken the initiative to release them from the palace, they would naturally be devoted to Qin Zheng.
The tyrannical emperor's corpse lay there quietly on the ground, unattended.
LOL, who has time to care about him!
After the ministers had all left, Qin Zheng then ordered preparations to be made for the tyrannical emperor's funeral.
He looked at the dragon throne above, his face filled with barely concealed excitement.
Bai Jinghan flicked him on the head. "You little rascal, you're really full of bad ideas. Your words are getting more and more venomous."
Qin Zheng silently expressed her gratitude to Xie Hanzhou.
He had been poisoned by Xie Hanzhou before, which caused him to inherit some of Xie Hanzhou's sharp tongue.
"But you really dared to cooperate with that tyrant!"
"So what? Now that I've killed my father and my uncle, no one can stop me from becoming emperor."
Bai Jinghan patted his shoulder earnestly, "Sigh, alright, you're more capable than your father and uncle. I hope you can make the neighboring country better and better..."
"Yes, the neighboring country will get better and better..."
Qin Zheng muttered to herself.
Xie Hanzhou and Yu Sheng returned to the post station, slept for a night, and prepared to leave Lin Kingdom early the next morning.
Naturally, someone couldn't wait to go back and marry Yu Sheng.
******
Xie Hanzhou and Yu Sheng finally arrived in the capital, while Xie Tingsheng and Wen Xi were already waiting outside the palace gates.
Wenxi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked somewhat unwilling.
"Your Majesty and the Empress are cordially welcomed back to the palace—"
Just as Xie Hanzhou was about to get up, Xie Tingsheng pulled Wenxi and blocked his way back to the palace.
"Huh? Tingsheng, what are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, I have brought Wenxi here to request the imperial decree to grant us marriage."
Hearing this, Wenxi glared at him angrily.
"No, are you in such a hurry?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Does His Majesty not want to give it to us anymore?" Xie Tingsheng narrowed his eyes.
Xie Hanzhou cursed under his breath, "Useless!"
Xie Tingsheng retorted immediately, "Yes, yes, yes, your younger brother is useless, but you, Your Majesty, are the one who are truly capable. You're so capable that you can't wait to come back and prepare to marry the Grand Preceptor."
Yu Sheng: "..."
It's a bit embarrassing.
Xie Hanzhou, with a cold face, pulled out an imperial edict and threw it at Xie Tingsheng, saying, "Here you go, this is so annoying!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Xie Tingsheng first showed it to General Wen, saying, "Father, from now on we are family."
Wen Zi waved his hand and glared at his good-for-nothing youngest son as he left.
He thought it would be barely acceptable if this little brat brought him back a prince as his wife, but what happened was that he ended up giving himself away to be someone else's wife.
Wenxi felt wronged after being glared at by her own father. "Xie Tingsheng, he glared at me."
Xie Tingsheng: Honey, don't put pressure on me. That's our father. I wouldn't dare to do that!
The two of them were so awkward and hesitant that it made all the ministers' teeth ache.
Tsk tsk tsk, they're all showing off their love.
Let's go, let's go back and make preparations. The day after tomorrow is His Majesty's wedding day, so let's make sure nothing goes wrong.
The ministers all went off to attend to their duties.
After returning to his palace, Xie Hanzhou hugged Yu Sheng and gave her a big kiss.
He'd been so busy traveling these past few days that he hadn't had much time to get close to Sheng Sheng, which was making him feel incredibly stifled.
“Sheng Sheng…”
"Xie Hanzhou, that's enough. Steward An just sent word that the wedding attire for the wedding the day after tomorrow is ready and we should try it on first. Don't delay the important matters."
"Alright," Xie Hanzhou finally let go of him, picked up two identical wedding dresses from the side, and his eyes darkened slightly.
