1326 Verification, the Emperor's Suspicion

Princess Mingwei leaned weakly on her maid, the pain and struggle in her eyes made people feel pity, but it was a pity that Feng Qingchen was not a man.

"Princess, go and tell Zhan Yan about this. What does the princess's behavior have to do with me? The princess didn't kill my father." Feng Qingchen pointed out Mr. Wen Yuan's death. Princess Ming Wei's face turned pale and she staggered back: "It's not me, it's not me. Mr. Wen Yuan's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't..."

"You know the truth very well. What's the point of telling me this? If Mr. Wenyuan hadn't died, what would you have to curry favor with King Luo?" Feng Qingchen said sarcastically, tearing off Princess Mingwei's disguise without any hesitation.

"Princess, you'd better take care of yourself. The head of the Wang family will not let go of the person who killed Mr. Wen Yuan." Feng Qingchen left after saying this. As for what Princess Mingwei wanted to say to her, she didn't care at all.

They will meet again soon. Princess Mingwei, who has sided with Prince Luo, has completely broken off relations with them...

Feng Qingchen originally thought that Princess Mingwei would leave obediently. After all, she directly pointed out that Wang Jinling already knew the role she played in Mr. Wen Yuan's death. Unexpectedly, when she was leaving, Princess Mingwei still made a scene, or rather, it was Prince Luo's personal soldiers who made a scene.

Prince Luo's personal soldiers refused to leave, saying that the Ninth Prince was bullying others by abusing his power. This post station was arranged by the Emperor for officials to stay in, not the Ninth Prince's place. If the Ninth Prince can live there, why can't they?

The Ninth Prince asked them to pick up Princess Mingwei that day, but he could not tell them when to leave, as they had to rest at the post station for a while.

Prince Luo's personal soldiers were very smart. They only started the attack after they received Princess Mingwei, and invited the garrison general to come over. However, the one who came was only a deputy general. When the garrison general heard about this, he had already found an excuse to slip away, leaving the trouble to his subordinates to solve.

The deputy general was very unlucky. He was pushed out by his superior to take the blame, and was then pushed out by Prince Luo's men to fight against the Ninth Uncle.

The request of Prince Luo's personal soldiers was simple. They just wanted to stay at the post station for two days and not interfere with the Ninth Prince.

The request of the Prince Luo's personal soldiers was not excessive. After all, the post station did not stipulate that others could not stay during the Ninth Prince's stay. The deputy general was in a dilemma. He did not dare to offend either side. Under the urging of the Prince Luo's personal soldiers, he had to bite the bullet and go to the Ninth Prince.

Of course, he could not see the Ninth Uncle. Only the staff around the Ninth Uncle received him. When he heard him convey the request of the King Luo's personal soldiers, the staff said with a fake smile: "Sir, my prince's meaning is very clear. They have half an hour to leave the city. Otherwise, don't blame my prince for being rude."

It wasn't that the staff were arrogant, it was really that Prince Luo's personal soldiers went too far and insulted them first.

"His Royal Highness Prince Luo's personal soldiers just entered the city early this morning. It would be embarrassing if people told others that they were leaving today." The deputy general wiped his sweat.

Forcing them away as soon as they arrived would be equivalent to expelling Prince Luo's personal soldiers from the city. He didn't dare to do such a thing.

"It's enough for soldiers to be able to fight. What's the use of whether they sound good or not. This matter has nothing to do with you, my lord. You just need to tell them to leave within half an hour, otherwise we, a group of incompetent soldiers, will have to escort them out of the city ourselves." The staff was so angry that they were clapping when they saw the Ninth Prince throwing Princess Mingwei and her group out of the door. They would not allow them to come in and get in the way again.

This is not a question of whether to let them live in or not. This is a matter of face for both parties. If King Luo's people slap them in the face in public, they would be cowards if they don't fight back.

"This, this..." The deputy general looked embarrassed, but the staff ignored him and politely sent the man out. They turned around to report the matter to the Ninth Prince, who responded and said he knew.

The staff member knew that he had done nothing wrong, so he rolled up his sleeves as soon as he went out and called the leader of the guards over: "Brothers, get ready to fight!"

Luo Wang's people will never leave in such a shameful way. It is too embarrassing. A fight is necessary for both sides, but there are also rules for this fight.

You have to hurt them but not injure them, you have to defeat them but not knock them down. Just stop when you have reached the point where you can make them lose face, but you can't beat them so hard that they can't leave the city and give them the chance to stay here.

After discussing it this way, the guards bought all the coarse cloth in the city and wrapped their swords with it layer by layer. After wrapping them, they tested them on their companions to make sure that the wrapping was thick enough and the blade would not kill people.

Feng Qingchen was so amused that he could not help but think that this group of people was really interesting.

"The Ninth Prince's subordinates are as sinister as the Ninth Prince himself." The eldest son, who knew what had happened, gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"Indeed, the soldiers you want should be like the people you want to lead." Feng Qingchen thought of the Ninth Prince's Black Cavalry. The Black Cavalry was as arrogant and powerful as the Ninth Prince.

"It seems that the situation in the imperial city is not favorable to the Ninth Uncle." Wang Jinling's opinion is the same as the Ninth Uncle. The people of Prince Luo dare to be so arrogant and do not take the Ninth Uncle seriously. This must be the emperor's instruction to take the opportunity to suppress the Ninth Uncle's arrogance.

If the Ninth Prince shows any sign of retreat, the people in the Imperial City will increase their suppression.

Feng Qingchen nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too happy too early. It is impossible to use Mr. Wenyuan's death to ruin the reputation of the Ninth Prince among the literati."

The Ninth Prince is not a fool, how could he just sit there and wait to die?

Wang Jinling thought of the agreement between himself and the Ninth Prince and sighed, "Your Majesty is indeed too happy too early."

If the emperor can think of it, how could the Ninth Prince not think of it? Evidence is always produced by people. As long as the Ninth Prince can clear the charges, he will win praises.

Rumors are a double-edged sword, which can destroy people as well as make them successful. It is probably impossible for the emperor to use rumors to undermine the prestige of the Ninth Uncle.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Prince Luo's personal soldiers and Princess Mingwei's guards were still outside the post station and refused to leave. No matter what was said, Prince Luo's personal soldiers refused to give in, even if the deputy general said to arrange official residences for them, they would not agree and insisted on staying in the post station.

Princess Mingwei also said softly that she was used to living in the post station and didn't want to live anywhere else.

The deputy general was so angry that he secretly cursed these people for asking for a beating. He also blamed Princess Mingwei for being ungrateful. It was really unreasonable for the princess of Nanling to be so arrogant in Dongling's territory.

Seeing that half an hour was almost up, the deputy general did not want to get involved, so he found an excuse to slip away. He was the emperor's man, and there was no need for him to offend the ninth uncle for the sake of Prince Luo.

In the past, he might have taken the risk, but now? It was still unknown whether King Luo could ascend the throne, and he didn't want to become a victim of the power struggle.

Prince Luo's personal soldiers spat at the deputy general and called him a spineless person. The deputy general was so angry that his face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

It is better to be a spineless person than to be used as a gun.

After half an hour, the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers opened the door of the post station and walked out in unison. Without the intervention of the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family, the number of Prince Luo's personal soldiers was equal to that of the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers.

The Ninth Prince's personal soldiers looked at each other indifferently, but Prince Luo's personal soldiers were eager to try. They were ordered to provoke the Ninth Prince's uncle and suppress his arrogance, and at the same time they were ordered to explore the strength of the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers.

The failure of Si Cheng's attempt to kill the Ninth Prince at the border with his army was a pain in the emperor's heart. The emperor did not believe that the Ninth Prince could escape safely from the Si family's army, especially after Si Cheng returned from winning the battle in Xiling. The emperor did not believe it even more.

How did the Ninth Prince escape safely from being surrounded by the Si family’s army?

The emperor was suspicious and wanted to find a way to verify it. It was a good opportunity for Prince Luo's soldiers to come and pick up Princess Mingwei. The emperor could take this opportunity to see how many masters were around the Ninth Prince and how he could escape unscathed every time he encountered danger.

The battle between Prince Luo's personal soldiers and the Ninth Prince's personal soldiers is inevitable!
