Princess Promotion

Chapter 224 Clearing the Charge

Lin Qingzhu hid like this all night.

Finally confirmed that no one chased us out.

I scared myself the whole night!

At this moment, Lin Qingzhu stood in the rising morning sun, his eyes empty and lifeless, his face as pale as paper, and he seemed as if all his soul had been sucked out of him.

Lin Qingzhu realized something even more terrifying.

Since no one chased him out, it meant that General Park never suspected me at all and just happened to meet me.

If I had pretended to go out to relieve myself, would everything have been different?

Lin Qingzhu's world collapsed, he blew himself up!!!

"Sir, come up and play!" A heavily made-up woman leaned against the doorway, swaying her head and making coquettish gestures with a handkerchief in her hand.

Eunuch Wei stood in front of the brothel, looking at Prince Yan with an indescribable expression.

Since Yao Chuguang ascended the throne, Eunuch Wei has been free.

A eunuch like him, no matter how high he climbs, can never escape the fate of serving others for the rest of his life.

When you are too old and frail to take care of others, if you are lucky, a noble person will give you a yard and send a young eunuch to take care of you in your old age.

If you are unlucky, you will be thrown into the cold palace and wait for death.

Don’t even think about taking gold, silver, and jewelry out of the palace to enjoy yourself.

To be honest, the Emperor of Qi was quite nice to Eunuch Wei, but that was just like a master treating his servant.

But Yao Chuguang is the one who can truly make him live a fulfilling life.

In the past few years, Eunuch Wei has been traveling around with gold, silver and jewelry, and he is very happy.

A while ago, Yao Chuguang sent someone to find him.

She said she hoped he would go out with another person if she found that the two of them were not compatible.

Yao Chuguang will then send someone else to replace him.

Eunuch Wei has been very bored recently, so it would be nice to find something to do.

Prince Yan grew up in the palace since he was a child, although Eunuch Wei is now disguised.

He looked no different from an ordinary old man, but one could tell at a glance that Eunuch Wei was a palace eunuch.

King Yan was not surprised that Yao Chuguang sent a palace eunuch to follow him.

What was surprising was that it was such a little old man. King Yan didn't want anyone else, he could strangle this little old man to death with just his own hands.

Taking his father-in-law to visit a brothel, the Prince of Yan said confidently: "Be a man!"

Eunuch Wei glanced at Prince Yan calmly and said, "I just didn't expect that the master has such a special taste."

Eunuch Wei looked at the face of Prince Yan, which was still handsome despite his age.

Time did not take away his appearance, but instead added a sense of calmness and maturity to the Prince of Yan.

Looking at the vulgar women in the brothel, Eunuch Wei felt that Prince Yan was at a disadvantage in terms of appearance.

Eunuch Wei thought that perhaps it was because he was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and wanted to taste simple meals occasionally?

Prince Yan wanted to play, and Eunuch Wei had no reason to stop him, so he said, "Then I'll go to the restaurant next door and wait for you."

King Yan didn't expect that Eunuch Wei would let him leave like this. Wasn't he afraid that he would leave him and run away alone?

He asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Eunuch Wei hesitated for a long time with a conflicted look on his face before he spoke: "Do you like being watched while doing that?"

Eunuch Wei, could it be that Prince Yan has always had palace maids serving him whenever he did that since he was a child?

So you can't get interested when no one is around?

Prince Yan's face instantly turned red and dark, and he gritted his teeth and explained, "What I want to ask is, aren't you afraid that I will secretly ditch you and run away?"

Eunuch Wei suddenly realized that he had misunderstood.

But he didn't care about what the King of Yan said, "Just run away, and then His Majesty can send someone to look for you."

This was the first time that King Yan had seen someone who was so...so bad.

In the past, the King of Yan held a high position, and everyone around him was very dedicated to his duties, and no one dared to be perfunctory.

For a moment, he really didn't know what to say. The King of Yan watched Eunuch Wei turn around and leave.

Could it be that Yao Chuguang also misjudges people sometimes?

Prince Yan shook his head and walked into the room. The woman walked with lotus steps, her waist swaying gracefully, the purple gauze fluttering in the wind, and her every move exuded allure and charm.

The woman went forward and closed the door, then led the King of Yan into the inner room.

After a while, the room was filled with blushing and heart-pounding moans and a man's suppressed roar.

King Yan slowly picked up the oil lamp that was flickering with a faint light, and walked down with steady and slightly cautious steps.

The light of the oil lamp swayed gently with the King of Yan's steps as he walked through the passage so narrow that only one person could pass through.

King Yan had to turn slightly sideways, as the passage was filled with an old and cold atmosphere.

After passing through the passage and arriving at the next room, King Yan didn't know how this building was built.

The interior is interconnected, and it seems that every room has a secret passage leading to different rooms.

He walked along the designated route and unexpectedly arrived at the room next to his own.

When asked why he knew that, it was because he could hear the woman's moans clearly.

A dim candle was lit in the room, and someone was already waiting there.

The man was wearing a pitch-black robe, and his black hair fell on his shoulders like a waterfall, gleaming with a faint luster under the candlelight.

The young man looked gloomy. He looked up at King Yan, then lowered his head and remained silent.

The King of Yan was not a talkative person, especially when talking to a boy younger than him, he didn't know what to say.

He found a chair, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, another bookshelf in the room began to move slowly, and King Yan saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar walking out.

Zhou Chengxi looked at Emperor Qi and said dissatisfiedly: "You are late!"

Emperor Qi smiled and said, "I was delayed a little in order to bring someone here."

After Emperor Qi walked out of the tunnel, he saw a man wearing barbarian clothes and the iconic wolf tooth necklace following him.

He had two scimitars on his back, and his body and face were covered in dust and blood.

The King of Yan knew without any introduction that this man was the barbarian leader King Ada.

Emperor Qi clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention before speaking: "Well, everyone is finally here!"

Zhou Chengxi was the youngest and the most impatient. He started to mock himself, "What's the point of everyone being here? They're all Yao Chuguang's defeated generals."

Emperor Qi was not angry after hearing this, but said calmly: "It is precisely because we cannot defeat Yao Chuguang alone that the only way to win is to unite as one."

King Ada snorted coldly and said, "If you had united earlier, you wouldn't have been defeated one by one by that bitch Yao Chuguang. Or if you had joined hands to help me, you wouldn't be like rats in a burrow, hiding from the light now!"

King Yan sneered, "Your brain isn't very good, but your thoughts are quite beautiful. If we really help you escape this disaster, you will still sit here obediently. I'm afraid you are thinking of swallowing us up and competing with Yao Chuguang!"

If the three of them joined forces to help King Ada, although they might not necessarily win, they could at least preserve most of their troops.

It wouldn't be like it is now, fleeing in a panic with nothing.

The reason why King Yan and his men did not take action was very simple. They did not want to let King Ada take advantage of the situation.

Wait for them to fight Yao Chuguang to the death, then you can hide and gather your strength, and finally reap the benefits.

It would be better to wait for Yao Chuguang to deal with King Ada and cut off all of King Ada's escape routes. The only way to survive is to fight to the death with them.

Only when everyone loses everything will the starting point be fair.

The Emperor of Qi sat down lazily, savoring his food and saying, "If you all want to continue making excuses for your failures, then I will not participate in the next cooperation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Emperor Qi said with a cold expression, "Although Yao Chuguang is my daughter, I have to admit that her strategic planning ability is unmatched by anyone here!"

Although we cannot compare them in terms of ability, Yao Chuguang is now fully grown and not someone that anyone can easily shake.

Facing Yao Chuguang, if the four of them still have their own little calculations, are not united, and all want to save themselves.

It would be a miracle if anyone could defeat Yao Chuguang!

"The Emperor of Qi is right. If we don't work together, only destruction awaits us. This is our last chance." A man with sunken cheeks and a haggard face walked out from behind the screen.

The Emperor of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Ada all looked at the skinny man at the same time.

King Yan narrowed his eyes coldly and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Chengxi, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and walked over to the man and said, "Father!"

The Emperor of Qi's eyes were cold and dark as he said, "So it's the Emperor of Western Zhou! I've heard so much about you, but why did I hear you were dead?"

The Western Zhou Emperor sneered and said, "Without the Western Zhou Dynasty, I would die with regrets. Now I have crawled back from the underworld."

The Emperor of Qi sneered, what nonsense!

However, he did think that the Western Zhou Emperor might have faked his death and escaped.

I heard that the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty all had their own stand-ins, and every emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty would find someone who looked 90% like themselves.

She is secretly kept in the deep palace, and when danger comes, a substitute is sent out to take the blame.

It now seems that the Western Zhou emperor must have used a substitute body and head to pretend to be himself, and then faked his death and escaped.

The expression in Emperor Qi's eyes deepened. This time, he paid a high price to unite these people.

The Emperor of Qi has been on guard against Duke Li over the years. How could he only make moves in public?

He placed several secret agents around Duke Li, just to be able to deal a fatal blow to Duke Li one day.

Now this group of people has lost their military strength and all their rights.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor it is, it still has more background than some aristocratic families and can mobilize more energy.

This is why Emperor Qi chose to work directly with these people instead of slowly training his own trusted ministers.

Although the risk is small, it will take a long time for the saplings he cultivated to grow into towering trees.

Therefore, Emperor Qi chose to take a risk and unite with these defeated generals of Yao Chuguang.

This fake military order incident was their respective tokens of allegiance.

The Emperor of Qi must ensure that they, like himself, are determined to restore their country at all costs.

They must work together once, even if it is to let them each show their own value, it is also to let them see their own abilities.

If they can't even work together as planned.

Even if they are powerful, Emperor Qi will not choose to cooperate with them. It is better to do nothing, at least he can save his life.

But fortunately, after cooperating with each other, they did contribute.

At the beginning, their plan was to mobilize the old subordinates of Prince Yan to forge multiple military reports.

The post stations that the military reports passed through were all post stations left over from the former Western Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Chengxi's people were responsible for exchanging these letters along the way.

Now it depends on Fu Hongxuan's choice.

If he chooses to follow the letter, he will massacre all the barbarian captives.

Then there is evidence to prove that Fu Hongxuan disobeyed the imperial order and was bloodthirsty. He even spared no one, including the elderly, children, women and young women. He was simply insane!

Even if Fu Hongxuan said that he was acting according to military orders, it could be said that Fu Hongxuan deliberately fabricated lies in order to escape the charges.

Then Fu Hongxuan will have no way to defend himself!

Although this matter may not necessarily affect Fu Hongxuan, Yao Chuguang may choose to believe Fu Hongxuan.

But contradictions are something that accumulate over time.

The first time Fu Hongxuan was framed, but it is impossible for him to be framed every time.

As long as there is a rift between them, Fu Hongxuan will only face liquidation.

Fu Hongxuan is the first, but he will definitely not be the last.

Following the same method, Yao Chuguang was betrayed and misunderstood by everyone.

Only she will gradually become a loner and no longer trust anyone.

The Emperor of Qi and his entourage had all been emperors, they had all been young in their time, and they had close friends whom they trusted and were even willing to give their lives for.

But since when did they all become lonely people?

I no longer have any friends around me, only a bunch of flattering and hypocritical faces.

The Emperor of Qi may not be absolutely sure about how to win people's hearts, but he must know how to destroy a relationship.

Everyone has their own experience.

It is not easy to build a trusting relationship, but it is very easy to destroy that trust.

Of course, it turned out that Fu Hongxuan did not easily fall into the trap they carefully designed for him.

A second plan was launched.

The Emperor of Qi used Lin Qingzhu, the chess piece he had placed in Duke Li for many years.

With Lin Qingzhu as a pawn in the military camp, Emperor Qi could easily figure out who was hostile to Fu Hongxuan.

Finally, Emperor Qi chose Lu Yun, the deputy general who had followed Duke Li for many years.

Emperor Qi learned from Lin Qingzhu that Lu Yun had always been dissatisfied with Fu Hongxuan taking the position of commander, believing that it should be the position of Duke Li.

So the Emperor of Qi asked Lin Qingzhu to persuade Lu Yun first and deliberately tell him that Fu Hongxuan was disobeying military orders.

Deliberately suppressing the military order must be an attempt to commit some evil.

Then during those days, Emperor Qi deliberately ordered Baili Jia to deliver urgent military reports to the military camp one after another.

Fu Hongxuan couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Lu Yun had long been dissatisfied with Fu Hongxuan, and now that he could find something to hold against Fu Hongxuan, he would not let go of this opportunity.

But if Fu Hongxuan really intends to suppress the military report, then he can find out everything by asking someone back to Yundu City.

So Emperor Qi had to seize the opportunity and send Lu Yun to Fu Hongxuan's military tent to steal military reports when the reports happened to be delivered.

Only in this way can we ensure that Lu Yun can get the military newspaper 100%.

Then they would wait for Lu Yun to steal the military newspaper back, and then Lin Qingzhu would kill Lu Yun and pin the blame of Lu Yun's death on Fu Hongxuan.

This is how the situation was set up. Lu Yun discovered that something was wrong with Fu Hongxuan. He sneaked into the military tent and found that Fu Hongxuan was disobeying the order and deliberately suppressing the military report and not executing it.

Unfortunately, he was discovered by Fu Hongxuan and was killed to silence him.

Lin Qingzhu can take the military newspaper and successfully clear himself from being a murderer to being a witness!
