Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

The beautiful and graceful woman they were talking about was none other than Shen Qingge.

Not long after, the rumor reached the court, and obviously, it was unanimously opposed by all the ministers.

The officials, led by the county governor Zhang, all spoke righteously and wrote memorials to express their strong protest:

Although this woman is smart and kind, she is not suitable to enter the palace and become a princess. There are two reasons for this.

Firstly, this woman was already married to the current emperor. As the saying goes, how can a woman serve two husbands? Moreover, these two are brothers whose blood is thicker than water!

Secondly, needless to say, this woman is still a criminal, and the entire Shen family has become a slave of sin. Even allowing her to work as a small servant in the palace is already an act of magnanimity and mercy from your Majesty.

At this moment, Xiao Heng, who was sitting on the throne in the inner hall and flipping through the piles of memorials, was immediately furious when he saw that every one of them contained such content.

He stood up suddenly and threw the piles of memorials in front of him to the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Yi, who was standing nearby, quickly leaned over to pick up a discarded memorial. After quickly scanning the text, he pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"Master, please calm down for now. In my humble opinion, it's no wonder these ministers are so vehemently opposed.

After all, judging from their position and standpoint, they do this out of loyalty to you and only for your good!

The most urgent matter right now should be to find a way to redress Ms. Shen's family as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of guilt that was hard to conceal appeared on Xiao Heng's originally tense face, and his expression was as if someone had touched upon his inner thoughts.

He had actually always kept this matter in mind, but he had just arrived in Lingnan and there was a lot of work to be done, so he really couldn't handle it.

In addition, he is still young and inexperienced. Even if he has evidence of the Shen family's innocence, how can he compete with his brother?

But Yun Yi's words also reminded him that he should immediately send a team to Mobei to investigate.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"Yun Yi, this is the situation. Currently, many matters in Panyu City still rely on the joint efforts of you and Cang Yu.

How about this, you immediately arrange for Cang Feng to lead a small team of capable people to head to Mobei immediately.

We must go all out on this trip, not only to find the remains of the Xuanping Marquis family, but also to gather the irrefutable evidence that has framed them."

"Also, burn all these memorials. Remember not to let Miss Shen know the inside story.

I am not afraid of confronting all the civil and military officials in the court, but I am worried that she will be hurt when she finds out that others have slandered and criticized her so wantonly.

Moreover, although I have deep feelings for Miss Shen, she has never agreed to marry me. How can I damage her reputation because of these unwarranted things?

These words made Shen Qingge, who was hiding behind the pillar, tremble all over.

She had just accidentally overheard them talking about herself, so she hid to listen to what they were discussing, but she didn't expect to hear such heartfelt words.

In an instant, a warm feeling surged into my heart and my eyes became slightly moist.

This was the first time in her life that she truly felt that, apart from her own family, there was someone who could care for her so attentively.

Combining all her past experiences, she finally understood thoroughly what her second sister-in-law had said before.

It turned out that I had developed a different kind of feeling for Xiao Heng without knowing when.

However, this feeling came too late, and she was afraid that she was destined to let Xiao Heng down.

Now, all she wants is to find her long-lost father and brother as soon as possible, clear their grievances, and completely overthrow the regime controlled by Xiao Mo.

In addition, she also longed to get away from the endless open and secret struggles in the court as soon as possible.

As for entering the harem and participating in the intrigues among concubines, she had never even thought about it.

What's more, she was indeed married, and Xiao Heng should be paired with a girl from a noble family with a clean background.

Just like that, after just a day or two, she resolutely expressed her thoughts to Xiao Heng - she would no longer continue to manage the affairs of the Lingnan Palace, big and small, but hoped to join the guard camp and become a female general to assist him in training and disciplining his officers and soldiers.

Although Beiling State had clearly prohibited vassal kings from stationing troops privately, she cleverly found a reasonable excuse:

Since most of the soldiers defending the city are old and weak, they are unable to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the safety of the King of Lingnan. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit a group of new soldiers to gradually develop and expand the team in order to prevent possible accidents.

Faced with her firm attitude, Xiao Heng was helpless, but he finally nodded in agreement.

After all, he really couldn't bear to see any gossip hurting her even a little bit.

But who would have expected that one day not long after, something unexpected would happen, breaking the current "deadlock"!

At that time, the soldiers who were patrolling the city were surprised to find that there was a group of seriously injured people galloping towards the city gate under the city wall...

The soldiers immediately closed the city gates and rode their horses at full speed to the Lingnan Palace to report.

At this time, Shen Qingge was training troops in the training ground built next to the Lingnan Palace. After hearing this, he quickly ran towards the city gate.

Before long, she stood steadily on the high city gate.

Looking around, the atmosphere outside the city gate was tense.

A group of remnants of the army were shouting for help at the foot of the city. Behind them was a deafening sound of horses and carriages, followed by a group of fully armed soldiers rushing in like a tide, instantly surrounding the remnants of the army.

At the same time, many archers among the soldiers who had surrounded the area had already drawn their bowstrings, with their arrows aimed directly at the trapped remnants, waiting for the order to shoot all the arrows.

At this moment, the general of the opposing army shouted at the top of his voice:

"Officers and soldiers defending the city, listen up! This general has been ordered to carry out the decree of His Majesty Emperor Xiaowu. This time, I have come here specifically to strangle the rebels.

You must keep the city gates shut and never listen to the nonsense of these traitors.

If anyone dares to disobey orders and disrupt this general's plan of encirclement and suppression, I will report the truth to the court and make the entire Lingnan region suffer severe punishment! "

After hearing this, Shen Qingge couldn't help but think to herself, "What an arrogant tone!"

Then she looked carefully at the arrogant general opposite her, and found that this man was actually a general under Xiao Mo.

A nameless fire suddenly surged in Shen Qingge's heart, but she knew that she needed to remain calm at the moment, so she suppressed her inner anger.

However, she still wanted to find out the true identity of these people in the city.

So she concentrated her attention and stared intently at the bottom.

After careful observation, I finally saw the situation below the city clearly.

Among the group of remaining soldiers, there was a young general who was struggling to protect another person with his own body.

Although the young general looked a little embarrassed, his eyes revealed an extremely determined look.

Looking at the man he had risked his life to protect, he was wounded in many places, his robe stained with blood, and he had already fallen into a coma. This man was actually the commander of the Hexi Army - Liu Fu, also her uncle Liu!

The young general who protected him turned out to be Li Cheng, the miner she had rescued in the mine not long ago!
