Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Liu Ruochu returned to Xie Jin.

She wanted to ask Jin Shuo to retreat, but it was too late. The fight was over, Jin Shuo was stabbed and fell to the ground, and Xie Jin's men caught him!

"Jin Shuo!"

Bo Mo wanted to rush out to save people, but Liu Ruochu stopped him:

"Don't go. He's in Xie Jin's hands. If you go out, not only will you fail to save him, you'll also be caught."

Liu Ruochu's expression was cold. When she saw that her people were captured, she realized that Xie Jin not only used a trick to sneak into Chencang, but also lured the snake out of its hole!

In order to create chaos and seize Emperor Xia Ming for negotiations, she mobilized two-thirds of her men lurking in the capital for this assassination.

Xie Jin deliberately escorted Emperor Xia Ming back to the palace with great fanfare, lured her men out, strangled them, and captured Jin Shuo.

Jin Shuo was her capable subordinate, and his arrest was tantamount to cutting off one of her arms!

hateful!

Xie Jin looked at the captured Karen assassins and ordered:

"Take them to the Dali Temple Prison and return to the palace!"

After the melee ended, Feng Qingluan took Emperor Xia Ming back to the Yangxin Palace first.

Feng Qingluan was about to leave, but Emperor Xia Ming stopped her:

"Wait a minute."

Feng Qingluan turned around: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Xia Ming stared at Feng Qingluan with sharp eyes:

"That night when you went to the Crimson Purple Pavilion to talk to Liu Ruochu, where did you leave me?"

Emperor Xia Ming has been thinking about this issue these days.

He didn't know where he heard the conversation between Feng Qingluan and Liu Ruochu, but one thing he was sure of was that Liu Ruochu admitted in person that she had instructed Ji Shu to assassinate the Queen in her own bedroom in the Crimson Purple Pavilion.

Feng Qingluan went to find her and lured her to tell the truth in person. Later he learned that Ji Shu was already dead at that time.

After Ji Shu was stabbed by Qingyang, Feng Qingluan was powerless to save her. During the two days of interrogation in the dungeon, Ji Shu insisted that it was Concubine Ru who ordered her to do it. Later, when she was dying, would she change her testimony and testify that it was Liu Ruchu who ordered it?

Emperor Xia Ming was somewhat skeptical. No matter who Ji Shu finally confessed to as the mastermind behind the scenes, it would not affect Feng Qingluan's ability to induce Liu Ruchu to say those words on her own initiative.

His kidnappers wanted him to hear Liu Ruochu admit to killing the queen with his own ears, but they didn't want him to know where he was, so they tied his hands and shackled him, and blindfolded him so that he couldn't see where he was.

Combined with the fact that Feng Qingluan secretly transferred the Yun family members who were assassinated in Qingshui Temple, no one knew, not even Zhaoyang himself, who was transferred, how they returned to the capital.

Will those people be like him this time, where Feng Qingluan used some kind of secret technique to keep them in a certain space and be able to move with Feng Qingluan?

This space is invisible to anyone except Feng Qingluan, which explains why Feng Qingluan wanted to fix his movements and block his vision.

Emperor Xia Ming felt that he was one step closer to solving Feng Qingluan's secret, so he wanted to trick her.

Feng Qingluan pretended to be ignorant:

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying."

Emperor Xia Ming walked towards her step by step with pressure:

"Do you know what I am talking about? Where did you hide me? To the Crimson Purple Pavilion? You also tied my hands and blindfolded me to prevent me from seeing the space where you trapped me.

Otherwise, in front of a master like Liu Ruochu, no matter if I was hiding in her bedroom or eavesdropping outside, she would be able to detect me, and she would not think that you were the only one who went there and confessed the crime she committed. It must be you who did something, I know it all, don't quibble anymore!"

When he said the last sentence, Emperor Xia Ming's voice suddenly rose.

Feng Qingluan did not admit it:

"Your Majesty, I am a mortal, and I do not have the abilities you describe."

When Feng Qingluan decided to put Emperor Xia Ming into the space and bring him to the Crimson Purple Pavilion to let him hear Liu Ruochu confess his crime, she had expected that Emperor Xia Ming would doubt this.

By then she had made up her mind not to admit anything, not even to admit that she was the one who took Xia Mingdi to hear those words.

Emperor Xia Ming couldn't find her space, so suspicion was just suspicion and he couldn't provide any evidence.

Then she didn't do that.

Emperor Xia Ming guessed that Feng Qingluan would say this. He did not see it with his own eyes, and he had no evidence to prove the secret hidden by Feng Qingluan.

Emperor Xia Ming did not force Feng Qingluan to admit it, but he became more and more certain that there was something strange about Feng Qingluan. If he wanted to deal with her in the future, he would have a trick up his sleeve.

Emperor Xia Ming said: "Maybe I have experienced too much in the past two days. I am overthinking. You can go down now."

Feng Qingluan left the Yangxin Palace with a cold expression.

When he came out, he met Xie Jin who came to report to Emperor Xia Ming about the capture of the assassin from the Karen Kingdom. Feng Qingluan was waiting for him outside.

After listening to the report, Emperor Xia Ming praised:

"You did a good job this time. You lured out so many assassins and sent me back to the palace safely. You did a good job."

Xie Jin didn't say anything, and Emperor Xia Ming said calmly:

"The people have heard the news of the Queen's sudden death. I intend to announce to the world that the Queen was assassinated by the Karen assassins. I will take this opportunity to send troops to Karen to capture it and expand our territory. What do you think, Prince Rong?"

Xie Jin said: "The Karen Nation has repeatedly provoked Daxia. It is time to eliminate this trouble forever."

Emperor Xia Ming said: "Okay, it is decided. You will lead the troops to fight. Once the queen's funeral is settled, you will lead the troops to the battlefield immediately."

Xie Jin said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Xie Jin left, former Prime Minister Li Zheng went to the palace to meet the Emperor upon learning the news that his daughter was in trouble. What was supposed to come finally came, and Emperor Xia Ming had him summoned into the palace.

Before Emperor Ming of Xia inherited the throne, the Great Xia Kingdom had the position of prime minister.

At that time, Li Zheng helped Emperor Xia Ming in the fight for the throne and married his daughter Li Qing to Emperor Xia Ming as the princess. The power of the prime minister and the imperial power were in competition with each other. The previous emperor was afraid and abolished the position of prime minister.

Although Li Zheng was dismissed from office, the connections and influence he left in the court played a significant role in Emperor Ming of Xia's later seizure of the throne, and his people still hold important positions in the court.

Emperor Xia Ming always treated his father-in-law with respect.

Now that Li Qing has died suddenly, he has come to ask for an explanation, and he needs to handle it properly.

After Xie Jin came out of the Yangxin Palace, Feng Qingluan went to greet him.

Her brows were filled with worry:

"I have something to tell you."

She told Xie Jin about how she was intercepted by Liu Ruochu's men on the way back to the palace.

Feng Qingluan said: "Emperor Xia Ming finally ran out of the alley and explained that he hid in the alley because of panic. When the smoke cleared, he couldn't see anything. How did he avoid everyone and escape to the alley?

Liu Ruochu's subordinate must have discovered that Emperor Xia Ming was not in the carriage you were escorting, so he came to intercept me. He knows why Liu Ruochu didn't show up. Is she with you?"

Xie Jin said: "No, she didn't show up."

Now Feng Qingluan felt even more strange.

"Both of them are not here? Where did Liu Ruochu go?"

Xie Jin's eyes were gloomy:

"Maybe she showed up, but you didn't notice. She went to see Emperor Xia Ming."

Feng Qingluan's eyebrows jumped:

"You mean Liu Ruochu took advantage of the chaos to capture Emperor Xia Ming and took him to the alley to meet him alone?"

She was at the scene, how come she didn't notice?

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows at her meaningfully:

"That's right. Let's leave the palace first. I'll tell you about this in detail on the way."

Feng Qingluan looked at him suspiciously. Was this man making other plans behind her back? He kept her in the dark.

Hearing what he said, Feng Qingluan felt that her guess was correct, and she left the palace with Xie Jin to listen to his detailed explanation.
