Chapter 41: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine Daughter 41

The door was finally pushed open by the combined efforts of several servants, but there was no sign of Qiao Zhenshan in the room.

"Your Majesty, the former Prime Minister Qiao has disappeared."

Aunt Qiao learned the news two days later. At that time, she was holding Chenxi and patting her burp. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, handed Chenxi to the nurse and asked, "Does the emperor know?"

"The Emperor also found out during the morning court session this morning. Since the Prime Minister's residence was sealed, and Qiao Zhenzhen kept it a secret, no one else knew about it."

"The former princess passed away last night, and Qiao Zhenzhen had no other choice but to tell the gatekeeper."

"Died of illness?" Aunt Qiao's eyes flickered, but she didn't have the chance to tell Mo Qiong the truth.

"Help me change my clothes and go to my study."

———————————————————

"Your Majesty, the Empress Yuan is here."

Mo Liyuan raised his head and glared at Ma De, "Why don't you let the Princess in quickly? You don't need to inform her when she comes in the future."

"Huh"

Mo Liyuan put down the memorial and stood up to greet him.

Qiao Jinjin naturally placed her hand on Mo Liyuan's broad palm. "Is the emperor busy?"

"Nothing is more important than my beloved concubine." Mo Liyuan spoke with a firm tone, which made Qiao Jinjin curl her lips speechlessly.

"My beloved, are you here for something important?"

Aunt Qiao nodded, sat on the chair and said, "Today I heard from Jin Ling that the former prime minister was missing, so I came to ask about the situation."

Mo Liyuan said solemnly, "I have asked the guards to search carefully. There is a secret passage under the bed in Qiao Zhenshan's room, which leads directly to the outside of the city."

"If my guess is correct, Leng Gongyun should have other plans."

Qiao Jinjin tilted her head and thought, "What does the emperor have in mind?"

"I will announce the evidence I have collected at the morning court tomorrow, and will deal with Li Taifu at the same time. It is time to clean up the cancer in the court."

Mo Liyuan kept his word and dismissed Li Taifu on the spot at the morning court the next day. He also made public what Li Taifu and Prime Minister Qiao had done. In addition, more than a dozen officials were also dismissed.

The court was shocked by Mo Liyuan's actions, and even the ministers who proposed the selection of talents every day quickly shut their mouths.

It was precisely because of this purge of the court that the ceremony of enthroning Jin Jin Qiao as queen was not officially held until the spring of the following year.

After Li Taifu was dismissed and his property was confiscated, Li Taifu prepared to leave the capital with his few belongings. However, he was poisoned by Zi Xin, who had become Li Huaijiang's future wife, on the way.

More than ten members of the family were killed, and Zi Xin also committed suicide by taking poison after taking revenge.

I heard that Li Huaijiang suffered some kind of blow when he died, and his eyes were wide open even when he died.

Aunt Qiao, who was wearing a phoenix robe, curled the corners of her lips in mockery. Of course, she couldn't bear the blow. Who could have thought that her usually doting wife would poison her? However, she left a way out for Zi Xin, but she didn't expect that Zi Xin herself didn't want to live.

"Auntie, watch your step"

Jin Jin Qiao came to her senses and, with the help of Mo Liyuan, got on the carriage with eight dragons and phoenix horns.

Mo Liyuan held Aunt Qiao's hand tightly and said, "We will offer sacrifices to the heaven later. Aunt Qiao, just follow me. The palace maids will remind you of the procedures."

Aunt Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Looking at the people kneeling on the road, Aunt Qiao felt emotional.

With an inadvertent glance, Aunt Qiao saw Qiao Zhenzhen staring at her blankly.

Today, Qiao Zhenzhen is dark and thin, and she wears old clothes. Accustomed to a life of luxury, the present life must be a torment for her.

Jinjin Qiao and Mo Liyuan walked hand in hand towards the altar. Everything went smoothly, but an accident occurred when they were about to complete the worship.

"Dog Emperor, give me your life"

A stern shout made Mo Liyuan subconsciously protect Jinjin Qiao behind him.

When I looked up, I saw a group of men in black attacking here.

Mo Liyuan drew out the sword from the guard closest to him, ready to fight back at any time.

"Your Majesty, be careful"

Mo Liyuan protected Aunt Qiao tightly in a protective manner and comforted her, "Aunt Qiao, don't be afraid."

There were at least a hundred men in black in front, each holding a weapon. Their movements were quick and clean, without any delay.

Veins bulged on Mo Liyuan's forehead. He reached out, pinched his lips and whistled.

In a short while, many masked people appeared from all directions. They were very skilled in martial arts, and these men in black were no match for these masked men.

"These are the secret guards in my secret guard camp."

Aunt Qiao nodded and felt relieved.

But suddenly, a strong force attacked him and he was suddenly taken away from Mo Liyuan.

It turned out that a high monk from the altar had kidnapped her. Jin Jin Qiao pursed her lips.

"System, why is there no danger warning?"

[Host, this fake monk has no murderous intention towards you, so there is no way to warn you.]

Mo Liyuan discovered the moment Jin Jin Qiao was kidnapped, but he was still a step too late. He watched helplessly as Jin Jin Qiao was held to the neck with a sword.

"Let go of the Queen, and I will spare your life"

The monk not only did not let go of Qiao Jinjin, but moved the sword a little closer to her neck. "You dog emperor, let them all retreat, otherwise you will lose your queen."

Mo Liyuan gritted his teeth, secretly hating himself for being careless, but also felt sorry for Jinjin Qiao and was afraid that she would get hurt.

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Qiao Jinjin smiled at Mo Liyuan soothingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be fine."

After saying this, he quietly made a gesture to Mo Liyuan.

A gesture that only Mo Liyuan could understand.

Mo Liyuan wanted to shake his head, but he was afraid that the damn monk would find out, so he could only watch as Jin Jin Qiao was taken away.

The fake monk took Aunt Qiao and retreated to the edge of the altar, then jumped down in a flash.

"Auntie"

The last thing Qiao Jinjin was aware of was hearing Mo Liyuan’s shrill cry.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a bed with pink curtains, with several maids busying around her in an orderly manner.

Seeing Aunt Qiao wake up, one of the maids hurried out.

After a while, Leng Gongyun walked in.

Leng Gongyun at this moment looked much thinner than when he first met her, and his eye sockets were dark.

The corners of Qiao Jinjin's mouth twitched. Although Leng Gongyun was not tortured to death by the nightmare, he felt almost dead.

"Tianqi Regent King? What is your purpose in arresting me?"

Leng Gongyun sat beside Qiao Jinjin's bed, staring at her for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "Follow me back to Tianqi, and I promise you the position of princess."

Not only the corners of Qiao Jinjin's mouth, but even the corners of her eyes were twitching uncontrollably.

"You are joking, Regent. You have only met me once. I don't understand why you would say such a thing."

Leng Gongyun had a gloomy expression and wanted to smile with the corners of his lips raised, but the smile looked unnatural.

"I was very interested in you the first time I saw you. Mo Liyuan is not worthy of you. Da Min will be destroyed sooner or later. Only by following me can you be safe."

Jinjin Qiao looked down upon Leng Gongyun. Bah, where did his confidence come from? Mo Liyuan was the male protagonist of this dimension. How could his country be destroyed so easily?
