After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

A group of people entered the city gate one after another, and the wise king smiled.

"Fifth brother, please go back quickly. Sixth brother will take the people and leave slowly."

Xiao Minshen bowed to the virtuous king with a look of gratitude.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother. Fifth Brother will treat you to a drink some other day."

Watching Xiao Minshen and Mo Yi going away, the virtuous king ordered, "Line up and move forward at full speed."

As soon as Boss Li saw King Xian and Xiao Minshen leave, he immediately turned hostile and couldn't help but worry about Xiao Minshen.

When the virtuous king and his men arrived outside the Golden Palace, Eunuch An was already waiting there.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lord. The emperor is waiting for you."

The virtuous king stepped into the Golden Palace with a smile on his face, but when he saw the person standing in the palace, his smile disappeared.

"Sixth brother, why did you come just now? Fifth brother has been waiting for you for a while."

Xiao Minshen smiled and looked at the virtuous king.

"Why didn't Fifth Brother wait for Sixth Brother and went into the palace first?"

The wise king calmed himself, walked to the center of the hall with a complaining look, and saluted the emperor.

The emperor was very happy. "Sixth Brother, Fifth Brother said that the bandits were recruited? Where are they?"

"Replying to Father, the person is outside the palace."

"Xiao Anzi, let their leader come in."

Eunuch An walked out the door, and after a while, Boss Li walked in from outside.

He lowered his head and trembled all over. When he entered the room, he tripped over the threshold.

He walked tremblingly to the center of the hall and knelt down with a plop.

"I...I...I, the common man, Li Da...Li Da Da...Li Dashan pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

The emperor was amused by what Boss Li said.

"You surrendered voluntarily?"

"Back to the emperor, yes."

"Old Five, he will take all his men and return to the Patrol Division."

Xiao Minshen saluted hurriedly, "Yes."

The virtuous king's eyes flickered, "Father, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, you should go back and take a look too. I heard your wife is about to give birth."

The emperor was very happy. As an elderly person, he liked to see his children and grandchildren around.

When the wise king heard this, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Before he left, Princess Xian was fine, so how come she is about to give birth?

The emperor walked down from the dragon throne and stood in front of Xiao Minshen.

He raised his head and patted Xiao Minshen on the shoulder.

"Old Five, good job!"

Xiao Minshen raised his eyes and carefully observed the emperor's expression.

"Father, did you ask Doctor Li to take your pulse on time?"

The emperor's smile disappeared in an instant.

He pointed his finger at Xiao Minshen and was about to scold him when the prince hurried over.

The prince saw the emperor pointing at Xiao Minshen, his face full of anger.

"Your Majesty, please do not reprimand my fifth brother. It was the incompetence of those soldiers that caused my fifth brother to fall into the hands of the bandits."

"Fortunately, the sixth brother rescued the fifth brother in time and recruited the bandits."

The emperor looked at the prince expressionlessly and walked back to the throne.

"Prince Qi Xiao Min listen carefully to your orders!"

"I'm here!" Xiao Minshen knelt down.

"Father!" The prince pretended to be anxious.

"The King of Qi has made great contributions by recruiting bandits, and he is rewarded with a jade ruyi, five hundred taels of gold, and several shops and houses."

Xiao Minshen kowtowed and said, "I thank you for your grace, sir."

The prince stood aside, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.

Damn it, his intelligence was wrong!

But as soon as I walked in, I saw that my father looked angry!

Was it not necessarily because of his intervention that the emperor changed the reward to one?

"Congratulations, fifth brother." The prince waited for Xiao Minshen to stand up and congratulated him with a happy face.

"Thank you, Prince." Xiao Minshen bowed.

"Father, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!"

Xiao Minshen saluted the emperor, bowed to the prince, and walked out.

The prince waited until Xiao Minshen left before bowing to the emperor.

"Father, so this means that all this is due to my fifth brother?"

The emperor picked up the letter on the table and said nothing.

A gloomy look flashed across the prince's eyes. "That's all right. I will withdraw as well."

The emperor waved his hand and continued to wear the imperial robe.

Now, the emperor would personally review all memorials.

Even if the prince had already approved it, the emperor would read it again.

The prince now doesn't dare to approve anything casually. He will consider it over and over again before he dares to write it down.

He walked out and clapped his hands, and a secret guard appeared.

"Did you find out what happened that night?"

The secret guard lowered his head even more.

"I was incompetent and failed to find out. All those who knew about the incident that night were silenced."

"There is another person who knows about this, and that's Eunuch An."

"I have bribed a young eunuch under Eunuch An to see if he can get a feel for what Eunuch An has to say."

"Waste! Get out!" The prince said with a gloomy face.

If it wasn't difficult to place a secret guard in the palace, he would have wanted to chop the secret guard to pieces.

He doesn't need useless people.

Also, he clearly arranged people to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy King Xian and King Qi together.

But how come both of them came back safe and sound?

But none of the people he sent came back.

Could it be that his people were killed by King Xian and King Qi?

But this shouldn't be the case. With so many people, there should at least be one or two alive.

How come there isn't even one?

"Someone is coming."

"Go check and intercept the people of the Xianwang. What's going on?"

The prince turned the jade ring and gave the order.

At this moment, the wise king was also asking about this matter.

On the way into the city, he ambushed the guards.

As soon as he gave the order, the guards disguised themselves as thieves and killed all the bandits and the King of Qi.

But he was drunk that night.

Without his order, the guards would probably still be waiting there.

Only then did he send someone to deliver a message, asking the guards to quickly follow them back to the capital.

The soldiers who were sent out before have not returned yet.

As soon as he came out of the palace, he immediately sent guards to check.

"You said that all our people are dead?"

When the virtuous king heard what the guard said, he stood up from his chair in surprise.

"Yes, when I arrived, I saw corpses all over the ground."

"Also, I recognized some people from the corpses. They seem to be the prince's men."

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

How could the prince know his plan and kill all his men?

"I have confirmed that the knives in their hands are all engraved with the words of the Eastern Palace."

The wise king took two steps back and forth in annoyance.

Could it be that the prince has always sent people to be by his side?

Therefore, we can know his every move clearly.

He thought carefully about all the people around him to see if there was anyone who seemed unusual.

But after thinking about it, I feel that everyone is a suspect.

"Okay, you go down."

"My Lord, the princess has given birth! It's a little princess!"

The wise king frowned.
