At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

The Minister of Justice and the commander of the Shenji Camp, who were stopped by Xu Miao, turned their heads at the same time and looked at Xu Miao with confusion.

Xu Miao's face immediately showed an expression of "I'll give an explanation later", and the two of them gave up.

When the order to retreat was given, all the troops brought by Xu Miao quickly withdrew from the streets in less than half a cup of tea.

Soon, there were only a dozen guards left behind Xu Miao and his companions.

As for Xiao Yan, Xiao Tiannan, Mu Tianxin, Prince An and other princes of the Daliang Dynasty, their eyes have never left the empress since the moment she appeared.

Especially Xiao Yan, Xiao Tiannan and Mu Tianxin, a storm had already set off in their minds.

They never expected that the empress was actually in Fenglai Inn!

No wonder the secret guard went in and out of the inn twice. It turns out that His Majesty is here!

Thinking of this, the three of them immediately turned their gazes to Xia Yun.

What is the relationship between Xia Yun and Your Majesty?

The regret in King Zhao Xiao Tiannan's heart reached its peak at this moment. He remembered that a few hours ago, he even threatened to destroy Fenglai Inn!

Now it seems that he was completely stupid!

"Miss Ling'er?"

Finally, Xia Yun also noticed the strange looks from Xu Miao and others. He followed their gazes and found that Xiao Linger had walked out of the inn.

However, it was Xia Yun's call of "Miss Ling'er" that made Xu Miao and his companions feel like they were struck by lightning, and they were stunned where they were.

Miss Ling'er?

Xiao Yan's pupils widened and he glanced at Xia Yun out of the corner of his eye, a look filled with shock and disbelief.

This Xia Yun...actually called Your Majesty Miss Ling'er?

You know, even if they are the brothers of the late emperor, they have to address him as Your Majesty in public.

How dare Xia Yun call His Majesty by his nickname?

Xu Miao's eyes widened as if they were about to burst out. He thought he was the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole was behind.

But the sudden change in the situation almost scared him to death!

Not to mention why Your Majesty would appear in such a place.

What is the relationship between Xia Yun and Your Majesty?

Xu Miao suddenly woke up in his mind, it seemed that before His Majesty ascended the throne, his nickname was Ling'er!

Xu Miao was so shocked that he couldn't help but spit out blood.

Needless to say, the rest of the people present were all frantically speculating about the relationship between Xia Yun and His Majesty.

"My young lady is new to the world, so please be restrained and don't look at anything inappropriate."

At this time, the empress signaled to the female official beside her and issued a warning.

Obviously, if Xu Miao and others continued to stare at her, even if Xia Yun was a fool, she would be able to guess her identity.

What's more, Xia Yun is a very experienced guy.

Xu Miao and others had been in officialdom for a long time and had already developed extraordinary insight. When they heard the warning words from the female official, they immediately understood the deep meaning of her words.

Your Majesty does not want to reveal his identity!

Including Xiao Tiannan and Mu Tianxin, they quickly withdrew their gazes from the empress and began to tremble on the spot.

Stupid! It's really stupid!

The two tied-up princes kept cursing themselves in their hearts. If they had known that His Majesty was here, they would never dare to bring troops here even if they had a hundred courage!

It’s a pity that everything is over and the die is cast.

Having already lost their military power, they are now thinking only of how to plead with His Majesty to give them a chance to live.

"Master Xia, did you kill all these people?"

The empress gradually walked to within two or three steps of Xia Yun. When she looked around at the large number of corpses lying on the street, she couldn't help but frowning slightly.

Although she had anticipated the brutality of the battlefield outside, the current level of brutality was still far beyond her expectations.

"It's just self-defense."

Xia Yun smiled helplessly. Although he was the one who set up the killing tonight, if these guys didn't come here to die, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Hearing this, the empress shook her head, obviously disagreeing with Xia Yun's approach.

But she can understand it.

King Zhao and King Mu came to Fenglai Inn in a rage, ready to arrest someone without any explanation. No one would do that easily.

When the empress's gaze swept across Xiao Tiannan and Mu Tianxin, a look of disgust quietly grew in the depths of her pupils.

These two idiots are used to bullying others in the capital, and they even have some vague intentions of challenging the imperial power.

Even if Xia Yun killed these two people tonight, she would not blame Xia Yun. It was just a pity for the thousands of soldiers who died in the battle.

"Ling'er, this place is too bloody and it is not suitable for you to stay here for long. I will take you back."

Xiao Yan, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke with a stiff upper lip.

Just now he didn't know that His Majesty was here, but the situation in Fenglai Inn is complicated now. Once His Majesty has an accident here, the entire dynasty will be in danger.

"Follow Uncle Wang's arrangements."

Hearing this, the empress turned her gaze to Xiao Yan, smiled and nodded.

This time it was Xia Yun's turn to be surprised.

Xiao Ling'er actually called Xiao Yan "Uncle Wang"?

What's the relationship between these two people?

But Xia Yun soon changed his mind and realized that there was a high probability that Xiao Ling'er was a relative of the royal family.

Xiao Yan was the younger brother of the late emperor. As a junior of the royal family, it seemed reasonable for Xiao Ling'er to call Xiao Yan "Uncle King".

"Miss Ling'er, you go ahead. I will definitely come to visit you in person someday."

Xia Yun looked at Xiao Ling'er meaningfully.

"Then I will wait for good news from Master Xia."

The empress smiled sweetly, and then left towards the street exit under the escort of Xiao Yan and the Imperial Guards.

In just a few minutes, Xiao Ling'er crossed the street and eventually disappeared in the light of the torches along with the Imperial Guards.

The expressions of Xu Miao and others who stayed where they were returned to normal.

However, because of the recent incident, Xu Miao and others' attitude towards Xia Yun was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Master Xia, this is a warrant from the Cabinet. These two are now wanted criminals of the imperial court. After they are taken away, the Ministry of Justice will handle them impartially. Please do not worry too much, Master Xia."

At this time, the Minister of Justice took out a piece of order from his arms and handed it to Xia Yun.

Seeing this, Xia Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wouldn't it be better if this kind of thing was taken out earlier?

After checking that the order was correct, Xia Yun returned the order to the Minister of Justice.

"You can take the person away."

Xia Yun finally gave in.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Miao and the others all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They were afraid that Xia Yun still did not intend to hand over the person, which would put things in an awkward position.

However, as soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, his gaze immediately shifted to Xu Miao.

"But Xia will not go with you."

Xia Yun spoke again, his eyes showing determination.
