Chapter 56 Jin Ling 56
"It's born! It's born! The imperial concubine has given birth to a dragon son, and both mother and child are safe!"
Ma Yuanwei was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do. The next second, the eunuch assigned to Yao Jinling's palace came running and reported to him that the imperial concubine had given birth to a child.
"Get out, get out. This general is not in the mood to care about that woman now." Ma Yuanying kicked the eunuch who reported the news three meters away.
Lou's expression relaxed a lot: "You said she gave birth to a son for the emperor?"
The young eunuch nodded his head hurriedly as if he had been pardoned.
Ma Yuanyi's expression changed drastically, and he finally grabbed Lin Fuquan's hand: "Go to Chenghuan Palace and grab the eldest prince."
"Ah? Taking the prince by force is a capital crime!"
"If you don't go, and the emperor attacks with his troops, you will still be guilty of a capital crime!"
Lin Fuquan knew that Ma Yuanying was right. Unlike others, he had worked with Ma Yuanying since childhood and had long shared the same fate with him. Once Ma Yuanying fell, he would be the first to be liquidated.
At this moment, he could only choose to believe the other party.
Ma Yuanyi brought his few remaining troops to the Cining Palace. He cared about his son and his mother, and he could use this as a bargaining chip to force the emperor to let him go.
However, as soon as he entered the Cining Palace, he felt something was wrong.
It's too quiet.
Although the Empress Dowager was seriously ill and loud noises were strictly prohibited in the Cining Palace, the Cining Palace now looked like a hunting ground, ready to explode at any moment.
"…The situation is not right, let's retreat!"
"Hey, General Ma, since you're here, why don't you come in and chat for a few minutes before leaving?" Suddenly, a small, silvery voice chuckled from the inner room: "Hehe, we're old acquaintances. General, you should give us a little face, right?"
Ma Yuanying stared at the familiar figure behind the curtain, his voice rising with excitement: "Impossible! You...how could you be here? You're not in Cheng Huan Palace...You lied to me! You're so despicable!"
"You understand the principle of using deception in war, don't you?" Jin Ling slowly emerged from the curtain, laughing wildly. "I've been hunting geese all day, only to be blinded by them. How does it feel, General Ma?"
Ma Yuanying seemed not to hear him, staring intently at her belly, which was perfectly round, not at all like she'd just given birth. "Are you kidding me? ... Is this all your plan? Who else is around me? Who else belongs to you?"
Jin Ling smiled: "Fortunately, you're not too stupid."
"Is it Wan Baoxian? Is it that bitch Wan Baoxian?! How dare she? Does she want her mother's life?!"
"Hahaha, you can only fool that idiot Wan Baoxian with this." Yao Jinling laughed so hard that tears came out: "You dare to let that idiot fight me? Does she dare? Is she worthy?"
"However, it was also thanks to General Ma's ruthlessness and his lack of concealment that I was able to easily send people to find her body."
"You don't know, Wan Baoxian saw her mother, whose body was eaten by wild beasts after her death, and she actually took the initiative to ask me for a poison that could rip your stomach and intestines apart." Jin Ling sighed as she spoke, "It's really a sin. I can't bear to harm a monk or nun who has already left home and commit murder.
"...So I specially invited her here today so that she can see with her own eyes the fate of you, the murderer of her mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Baoxian, who could no longer wait, ran in with a group of people and blocked the door.
Ma Yuanying took two deep breaths and looked dejected and resigned to his fate, but he took advantage of the opportunity when the two sides started fighting and suddenly jumped up, grabbing Jin Ling's neck with his claws.
His movements were already fast, but Jin Ling, whose body had been transformed, was even faster. Instead of retreating, she advanced, bent down, drew out the sword from Ma Yuanying's waist, and stabbed it into the opponent's heart.
Afraid that he couldn't kill him, he stirred it with his sword.
With her sight blocked by Ma Yuanying, Jin Ling smiled brightly at Ma Yuanying from a perspective invisible to everyone else: "You have no right to blame for losing to me."
Ma Yuanying struggled to stretch out his hand to stop his wound, but fell towards Jin Ling halfway through.
"Jin Ling!" Li Yi rushed in wearing armor and saw this scene:
Ma Yuanying, the cancer that had been gripping him for so long, collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open. His beloved, the lover he longed for, clutched the hilt of his sword with both hands, her bright eyes staring blankly, her pretty face expressionless. The wound in Ma Yuanying's heart sprayed blood all over her face, making her look inexplicably seductive and ghostly.
Li Yi could hear his own heartbeat like a drum. He walked over and hugged Jin Ling tightly in his arms until she came to her senses and collapsed on him.
"Your Majesty...you are back."
Jin Ling tilted her head and looked at him blankly, revealing an expression that seemed to be half crying and half laughing: "Am I dreaming? Look, Jin Ling avenged you... Jin Ling, Jin Ling killed Ma Yuanying, I killed... I killed someone."
"No, you are not dreaming. I am back, I am back." Li Yi ignored her words of murder and just comforted her until Jin Ling burst into tears in his arms.
"It's okay, everything is okay..."
………
The main culprit had been eliminated, and with the exception of Lin Fuquan and a few close associates, Li Yi had given most of them lenient punishments. Those who had turned from evil to good in a timely manner, such as Captain Yao, even retained their original positions.
However, the group led by Major General Zeng, who had previously been undercover beside Ma Yuanying, made amends for their mistakes and remained safe and sound.
Not to mention Wan Jianfeng, Gao Xianyang, Ban Yihu and others who made great contributions, few of them were promoted. For example, Gao Xianyang was given a token by the emperor directly. Seeing this token was like the emperor himself, so this reward was very heavy.
As for Consort Xian...
After seeing the close understanding between her father and Lady Ruan, she quietly collected her mother's remains and returned to Guanyin Temple to become a nun again.
There will be rewards for merit and punishments for mistakes.
After such rewards and punishments, the harem and the front court had a new atmosphere.
But in this life, they did not leave the palace immediately after the matter was over. Instead, they stayed there without any prior agreement and got busy.
Because Jin Ling is going to be crowned queen.
Li Yi didn't want to be in such a hurry, but the empress dowager was already dying, and her last wish before death was to see her son get married.
The entire Shanggong Bureau was like a high-speed spinning top, busy preparing for Jin Ling's coronation ceremony.
Li Yi did not want this wedding to appear to be a superficial effort done for the Queen Mother. Although time was tight, he had higher requirements. He personally inquired about the progress of the wedding every day. The Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Observatory, the Palace Bureau, and the Imperial Household Department were all under his command.
Finally, on the day before the auspicious day, everything was ready and only the wedding was left to take place.
