Anyone who can become an emperor is suspicious and ruthless.
How could he let you go if you dare to force him like this?
Liu Sheng smiled and pulled her into his arms, resting his forehead against hers, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "When this is over, let's go sightseeing and travel around the world, okay?"
Ye Qingwan raised her eyes and looked at him. It turned out that he was planning to retire.
She was willing, but her parents...
You can't let them travel around the world with her even at their age, right?
Liu Sheng saw her worry and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you and the Prime Minister get involved in this matter, and your majesty naturally can't blame the Prime Minister."
As for her, Liu Sheng has already thought of a solution.
Before things completely broke out, he would let her fake her death and send her away from the capital first, and then she would reunite with him after things were over.
"Okay." Ye Qingwan hugged him.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. If he wants to help King Xiang, he naturally has to make some sacrifices.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xiang said that we are getting married?" Liu Sheng suddenly laughed.
Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, but you forgot everything."
"Then help me review it." Liu Sheng said, moving closer.
Their lips and teeth touched each other, and their breath gradually became chaotic.
Sometimes Ye Qingwan suspected that the Master was pretending to have no memory, because all his moves were on target, and every hit was accurate.
After the kiss and hug, Liu Sheng let go reluctantly.
Getting married in the previous life was a matter of the previous life. In this life, she was still a girl in the boudoir and could not be criticized by others.
Prince Xiang and Liu Sheng decided to become emperor, and both of them were ready to evacuate at any time.
King Xiang was relieved, after all, he had always been a lonely man.
Liu Sheng is a bit more troublesome, he needs to get rid of all the Liu family members before he can get out of this situation safely.
Ye Qingwan hasn't been running around these days. She has been holding her father back all day to prevent him from getting involved in this matter.
But the Prime Minister is no pushover. With so many things suddenly happening about Nangong Qiuming inside and outside Dayu, how could he not be alert?
Under his repeated questioning, Ye Qingwan had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Dad, don't worry about this matter, otherwise the emperor will definitely be the first to suspect you. Let's just pretend to be sick and not attend the court these few days."
The old emperor has always been wary of her father. Even if her father doesn't participate, the old emperor will suspect him. If he gets involved, it will be disastrous.
But the Prime Minister had his own plans. He admired the courage of Liu Sheng and King Xiang. If this matter could be resolved at this level, it would be a good way to protect everyone.
"Don't worry, Dad knows what he is doing." After saying that, he hurriedly left the prime minister's residence.
Ye Qingwan didn't know what her father was going to do, but when she saw Uncle Lin starting to clean up the household belongings and quietly sending everyone in the mansion out, she realized that her father was also preparing to join this operation.
Okay.
She was afraid that she would bring trouble to the whole family, but her father was more interested than him.
No need to worry.
Ye Qingwan, Ning Shaoqing and Ning Qingqing stayed in the mansion every day, eating and sleeping, and living a simple and happy life.
Dayu had changed the world a long time ago, with natural and man-made disasters happening constantly in various places. Every time he did so, he would add that it was the former crown prince Nangong Qiuming who was causing the trouble.
The emperor was furious and kept putting pressure on officials from all over the country to investigate those who spread rumors.
But this rumor was spread by Liu Sheng and King Xiang. Even the Prime Minister helped to cover it up, so how could they find out?
Seeing that the emperor could no longer bear it, Liu Sheng entered the prime minister's residence in the middle of the night and woke up Ye Qingwan and Ning Shaoqing who were still half asleep.
"The carriage is ready. You will leave the city tonight."
Both of them were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, but their bodies still cooperated to get dressed, get up, go out, and get into the carriage with sleepy eyes.
Liu Sheng also got on the carriage and escorted them all the way out of the city before getting off himself.
Ye Qingwan pulled him: "Master, won't you come with us?"
Liu Sheng turned around and hugged her, chuckling and saying, "I have to finish my work before I can leave. You guys go ahead, I'll meet up with you."
Ye Qingwan was a little scared. When the emperor got angry, blood would flow everywhere. Who knew what the emperor would do when he went crazy? "How long will it take?"
"At most three to five days, at least one day." Liu Sheng's tone was still gentle. Although the situation was very urgent, he did not leave, but patiently comforted her.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. You have to come quickly." Ye Qingwan finally hugged him tightly.
Liu Sheng smiled and lowered his head, kissing her forehead: "Okay, liars are puppies."
Only then did Ye Qingwan reluctantly let him go.
Liu Sheng asked her to lie back down, covered her with a blanket, and then said to Ning Shaoqing, "I won't be around these few days, so please take good care of yourself and don't run around."
"What do you mean by running around? I'm very reliable, okay?" Ning Shaoqing said with some disgust.
Liu Sheng smiled and patted his head: "Okay, you are the most reliable. I will leave Wanwan to you. Take good care of her."
"Leave it to me." Ning Shaoqing patted his chest and assured him: "If a hair falls, it's mine."
Liu Sheng smiled and let him sleep for a while, then he got off the carriage and rode back to the capital.
Everyone there is ready to go into the palace together to force the emperor to admit what happened and give justice to everyone.
Although they were well prepared, the emperor still held the real power. If he really didn't care, they would all die.
Before dawn, all officials gathered at the palace gate, led by the prime minister.
Tuoba Xiong, the former crown prince's orphan daughter, the clan leader and others also stood by.
As soon as the palace gate opened, everyone, led by the prime minister, strode towards the palace in a mighty manner.
The emperor, who had tidied up his appearance at this time, didn't know what he was about to face, and was still chatting and laughing with the eunuch chief: "The eldest and the ninth seem to have a good relationship recently."
The chief eunuch immediately agreed with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Xiang and the Ninth Prince are brothers, so naturally they should be friendly and respectful to each other."
The emperor was very satisfied: "Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other. This is how brothers should be."
"Your Majesty has taught well. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and the Ninth Prince have naturally become close." The chief eunuch did not forget to flatter the emperor.
The emperor was very pleased. The royal family was ruthless, and fratricide was common in all dynasties. But was there any emperor who was willing to see his sons kill each other?
The emperor came to the main hall, ready to receive the worship of all officials.
But when he suddenly saw the former General of Cavalry Ning Guojiu, who was the current sect leader, his whole face turned pale instantly, his pupils dilated, and his eyes looked horrified.
The emperor could no longer sit still. He jumped up, pointed at him and asked, "Who let him in?"
Seeing no one answering, he ordered again: "Come here, quickly drag this traitor away."
But still no one responded to him.
He looked at the palace maids around him, who all retreated away. He then looked at Ye Chengfeng, Prince Xiang, and Liu Sheng, who were in the lead, and seemed to understand something.
"You... betrayed me?"
