Chapter 262: Plundering the Imperial Palace!
Xie Chen raised his head slightly, without a trace of smile on his stern face.
There was endless coldness in his eyes.
"Does Your Majesty think that I will immediately admit my mistakes after hearing these words? The person who truly cared about your feelings has already been killed by you."
Ling Su was stunned.
Xie Chen bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."
He turned and left. When he reached the door of the imperial study, he suddenly heard Ling Su's dissatisfied shout from behind him.
"You can fight me like this, but don't forget that Xiangying is still in my hands."
Jie Chen turned around and looked at him coldly.
"What do you want?"
"I was indeed harsh on you in the past, but I did so in order to train you!"
Ling Su leaned on the table, lowered his head slightly, but looked at people with gloomy eyes, giving people a sense of oppression.
He said hurriedly, "During the thirteen years since you left Nanyue, I have been secretly concerned about you. I thought you had suffered enough along the way. Since you like Xiangying, I will help you be together."
"But your attitude towards me really chills my father's heart!"
Xie Chen's thin lips moved slightly: "You mean, as long as I'm obedient, you can let Xiangying be with me?"
Ling Su stared at him: "That depends on your performance, Old Ten. Father is getting old, and the fight for the crown prince is getting more intense. There are many ministers in the court who are getting in the way. I need you to help father eliminate them."
Jie Chen turned around and the father and son looked at each other. Suddenly, Ling Su heard an inaudible mocking voice.
He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Only a sneer escaped from Jie Chen's thin lips.
"You did the same thing before. You threw out the thing I wanted most as bait and sent me to Western Zhou. Now you want to do it again?"
Ling Su frowned: "Don't you care about Xiangying's life or death? She is the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Executing her can boost morale. I don't do this because I consider you!"
Xie Chen's voice suddenly became a little louder: "If you dare to touch her, then try it!"
Ling Su was stunned by the sudden murderous look in his eyes.
His face darkened: "Kill? You know father's methods. There are many ways to make you suffer more than killing her."
"I heard that you two have a very good relationship and have supported each other all the way. You must like her very much, Old Ten. Father gives you the opportunity to choose."
Ling Su threw a booklet over and it fell in front of Jie Chen's feet.
He looked down and saw more than fifty names densely packed together.
Ling Su raised his head slightly, his eyes were so arrogant and haughty.
"These people are all traitors. You have done so many things for your father. If you can do a few more, as long as you get rid of them, you can live a comfortable life in the future, and your father will let you marry the person you love."
Xie Chen stared at the many names in the booklet, including Yan Jing and King Yong.
These people might be royal relatives or Ling Su's former right-hand men in the court.
But now that the old emperor is going to settle accounts, they have all become a problem.
In order to stabilize the court and eliminate dissidents, he could only find a win-win way to eliminate these people.
So Ling Su thought of Chen again and wanted to use him to do these most dirty things in secret.
It is conceivable that if the fact that Xie Chen killed King Yong was known to the court and the public, people all over the world would scold him.
And could Ling Su help him clarify?
Most likely he just wants to use Jie Chen as his knife!
Jie Chen knew all this very well.
He looked at the list in silence for a long time, then finally bent down and picked it up.
He turned around and walked out without any hesitation.
Walking out of the imperial study, Suan Xiucai and others were waiting for him at the intersection.
Seeing Jie Chen's figure, Suan Xiucai immediately came forward.
"Master, what does the emperor say? Does he want to restore your status?"
Xie Chen pursed his lips: "For the time being, I will still be Xie Chen to the outside world."
The sour scholar was stunned, and he and the people around him became immediately angry.
"How can the emperor be so dishonest? He clearly said that if you return to Nanyue from the Western Zhou Dynasty, he will recognize your identity to the world. Why did he change his mind now?"
The confidant next to him was also indignant.
"It's fine if we didn't contribute to tonight's celebration banquet, but they also invited the Sixth Prince and the First Prince to come over. What contributions did they make? Wasn't it our master who was running around all the way here?"
Xie Chen's face was calm: "I won't argue about these things. If he doesn't give it to me, I don't care. I asked you to settle Xiangying's children. Have you settled them?"
The sour scholar nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged. The guards have been replaced by our own people. Master, don't worry."
"Okay, have you found out where Xiangying is being held?"
"It's not clear yet. That time her carriage entered the palace ahead of schedule, and we were stopped at an inspection. We don't know where her carriage went, but it definitely didn't leave the palace. I'm still investigating."
"Tell me when you find out." After saying this, Jie Chen walked towards the outer palace.
Although his status as a prince had not yet been restored, Ling Su still arranged for him to live in the outer palace where the princes lived.
…
Xiangying didn't know what was going on with Jie Chen. When she woke up, it was already midnight.
When I got out of the comfortable and warm bed, I found that the small solar electric heater had run out of power.
Xiangying put it into the space to charge it, and made himself a cup of milk taro balls.
She walked to the screen with a cup of hot sweet milk water, wanting to see how the little people were doing.
Unexpectedly, I saw them conquering the city with great enthusiasm.
Xiangying was stunned.
"Last time you were in the forest and were bewitched by the miasma, and now you're fighting again?"
Who researched these gadgets? They are so lively!
She was so happy that she airdropped supplies directly, gave them a lot of weapons and dry food, and threw them down directly on the strong horses.
The enemy on the opposite side was stunned.
I saw the cartoon characters waving their arms and shouting something, and then they fought more and more bravely.
Xiangying nodded with satisfaction and left the space.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to do something with the drone.
She first released the drone outside the palace and raised it above the entire palace.
Looking down at the Nanyue Imperial Palace in the night, if the entire geographical location is divided into four squares, namely east, south, west and north, only the East Palace and the West Palace are brightly lit. Even though it is already midnight, the lights are still bright.
The rest of the place was dimly lit.
Xiangying used the drone's infrared scan to print the map while operating the drone to fly around the palace.
He also dragged away a freshly cooked roast duck from the imperial kitchen.
But she spat it out the first second it entered her mouth.
Ugh! The taste is fishy because the duck has not been marinated, and the only seasoning is simple salt.
Did the concubines of the Nanyue Emperor eat this kind of leftovers?
Xiangying simply used a drone to airdrop the roast duck and threw it into a corner.
She was not in a hurry to plunder now, but to find out what each palace was used for.
