The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

Chapter 107: A sign of impending storm

He looked indifferently at Yu Shengan's sedan chair passing by on the marble pavement. Xie Jingce was happily waiting for his uncle's triumphant return.

It was as if Xie Jingce was not his biological son at all, but a traitor who was in cahoots with Yu Shengan to seize the Xie family's empire.

Yu Shengan's sedan stopped steadily at the gate of Zichen Palace, and the bright yellow light almost ignited the anger in Emperor Beiliang's heart.

He sneered, then immediately put away all his emotions and replaced them with his usual kind and gentle appearance.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Long time ago, the Emperor of Beiliang promised Yu Sheng'an a favor, which was that he would not have to perform grand ceremonies when meeting him.

It has always been like this, and the Emperor of Beiliang has no grudges against it.

But now, seeing Yu Shengan returning triumphantly, admired by thousands of people, and only slightly bowing to him, the Emperor of Beiliang inexplicably felt a rage ignited.

"My dear minister, you have made great achievements in battle and have returned triumphantly. There is no need to be polite." The Emperor of Beiliang still had a smile on his face, showing his usual kind expression.

Yu Shengan and Xie Jingce had no idea what the Emperor of Beiliang was thinking. Only Xie Lin, who was standing silently behind Yu Shengan, understood that the Emperor of Beiliang was extremely unhappy.

"General Yu is now the god of war in the hearts of the people of Beiliang. The scene of thousands of people paying homage to him just now impressed even this prince."

Xie Lin said with a chuckle, lightly adding fuel to the Beiliang Emperor's anger.

"It was not easy for my uncle to return to Beijing this time. I heard that he encountered many villains and persecutions along the way."

Yu Shengan was in close contact with Queen Yu, and what happened along the way had already been transmitted to Chang'an City via messages.

Xie Jingce glared at Xie Lin fiercely, but Xie Lin's expression did not change. He continued to look straight ahead with a smile, as if he did not care about what Xie Jingce said.

Yu Shengan then remembered that he had to report Xie Lin in front of the Emperor of Beiliang.

"Your Majesty, I have encountered many dangers along the way. I don't know how I have offended the Third Prince. He has repeatedly set traps on the road to take my life. I hope Your Majesty will investigate it strictly."

Yu Shengan said indignantly without even looking back at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin was neither anxious nor impatient. He did this matter openly and honestly, and it would be clear if he checked.

But in the ancient imperial society, there was no such thing as fairness. The so-called fairness and justice were just a matter of the emperor's whim.

If Emperor Beiliang thinks that Xie Lin did this, even if he stays in the palace, it is still him who did it.

If Emperor Beiliang thinks that Xie Lin didn't do it, even if Xie Lin killed Yu Shengan on the spot, it was not him who did it.

How could Yu Shengan and Xie Jingce have imagined that the tight net he laid along the way was all allowed by the Emperor of Beiliang.

"Lin'er has been serving me wholeheartedly these past few days. My dear minister, have you misjudged me? Don't let the villain use you to sow discord between the monarch and his subjects."

The Emperor of Beiliang looked at Yu Shengan deeply, and for the first time he sided with Xie Lin.

Yu Shengan wanted to say something, but was blocked by the Emperor of Beiliang.

"I know you have worked hard and made great contributions. The persecution you encountered on the road may have been caused by the people of Nanmeng. I don't want you to discuss this matter anymore."

Emperor Beiliang looked at Yu Shengan with a warning look.

Yu Shengan was shocked. The great joy just now had filled his whole heart. Now that he was swept by the cold eyes of the Northern Liang Emperor, he realized that he had committed a big taboo.

Although Yu Sheng'an is a burly military general, he has been working in the court for decades, so he still has some vision.

At this moment, he could only glance at Xie Lin with frustration and anger, but Xie Lin's calm look really made him angry.

Xie Jingce didn't have such good eyesight. Seeing his father speaking like this to his uncle who loved him, he couldn't help but speak out.

"Father, how could my uncle be so wrong? Since my uncle pointed out the third prince, there must be a reason. Moreover, my uncle returned triumphantly and took over several cities in Nanmeng. Shouldn't you praise my uncle?"

Xie Jingce is really like the stupid and innocent girl in the TV series, without any scheming. In the final analysis, he was protected too well since he was a child, so he doesn't have such scheming.

He was certainly smart, proficient in literature, riding and shooting, but he knew nothing about these tacit matters of the royal family.

The Emperor of Beiliang was not angry at Xie Jingce's remarks. Yu Shengan did return to the capital in glory, and the people's morale was high.

He wanted to be a wise ruler, so how could he possibly deal with Yu Shengan at this time?

He is not Meng Ziyan, who can do whatever he wants.

The Northern Liang Emperor did not continue to expand on Xie Lin's topic, but took over Xie Jingce's words and asked: "Then according to the Crown Prince, what kind of praise should be given to the King's uncle?"

There was no trace of displeasure in his smiling face. It was as if the Northern Liang Emperor had always been such an amiable character, a kind father and wise ruler.

Yu Shengan was extremely anxious when he heard Xie Jingce's words. The Northern Liang Emperor had already been angry, and Xie Jingce was still saying such words at this juncture. He really didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.

No matter how anxious he was inside, he couldn't reveal it in front of the Emperor of Beiliang.

The most taboo thing for an emperor is to be more successful than him, and the second is to have his true thoughts guessed by others. He has already violated the first one, and if he violates the second one, he will probably die soon.

At this moment, Yu Shengan just prayed that Xie Jingce would not say anything shocking.

It was a sunny day, but Yu Shengan felt like it was snowing in July. This was the first time that Yu Shengan was worried about his little nephew.

Xie Jingce actually proposed to promote Yu Shengan in such an occasion.

Yu Shengan was a general, so he naturally had a title. If he was given more titles, he would be a king of a different surname.

Although Xie Jingce did not say it explicitly, his words clearly expressed this meaning.

The Emperor of Beiliang did not seem to have any objection. He smiled and joked, as if he silently agreed to Xie Jingce's proposal.

Although the Northern Liang Emperor's smile was as gentle as the spring breeze in March, Yu Shengan felt a chill down his spine, a sign of impending storm.

Xie Lin coldly watched the farce in front of him. He was clearly in the hall, but it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him. He was just an outsider.

This incident spread quickly throughout the entire Chang'an City, and the people of Beiliang all praised the emperor for his wisdom.

Yu Sheng'an is the popular choice of the people at this time. The Emperor of Beiliang gives him such a great honor, which is also a recognition of everything he has done for Beiliang.

Not long after, the Queen also learned about this matter. Logically speaking, with the Queen's scheming mind, she would definitely be on guard against this matter.

But since Xie Lin left, Xie Jingce had no rivals around him, and her maternal family was dominant in the court, so she gradually felt relieved.

The Queen seemed to have become accustomed to the exclusive favor and glory of the Emperor of Beiliang, and she had completely forgotten that all of this was only given by that man.

If he didn't want, all these wealth and glory would be taken back overnight.
