Things have evolved to this point. Now, Lu Qingshan does not have the fear before his defeat, but instead feels an inexplicable sense of relief.
He looked at King Xuan, nodded first, and then said:
"Yunyan, I underestimated you and still thought you were just a child. Now that you have grown up and become a real king, I see that, okay, this is good..."
"Brother Wang was right when he passed the throne to you."
"Uncle Wang..." After hearing these words, King Xuan finally couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and tears still filled his eyes.
"Don't cry, you are the king!" Lu Qingshan looked at her and said sternly: "Uncle Wang, you deserve to die this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around resolutely, followed the two soldiers, and strode outside the palace.
Obviously, he has to settle it himself.
Looking at his back, King Xuan wanted to reach out and call him, but he couldn't raise his arm after all.
After all, he was her biological uncle. No matter how good King Xuan was, she was still a woman. One can imagine her current mentality.
In fact, she wanted to deal with Lu Qingshan, and she could have done so a long time ago, but she has not touched him. On the one hand, it is for personal reasons, and on the other hand, it is also to plan the overall situation.
The result of the layout outside of this layout seems simple, but in fact the process is very complicated, and there are countless things involved in it.
From going to Maple Leaf Villa to the assassination, the secret mobilization of the Central Army, and the sudden changes in the palace's forbidden army, every step seemed to have been carefully planned.
If it hadn't been for this moment, how could the miscellaneous fish under the water surface have emerged?
King Xuan's purpose was achieved.
The court suddenly became a little quiet.
Prime Minister Yao Tingyu lowered his head slightly and couldn't help but look at Wang Su. A hint of fear could be seen in the other person's eyes.
That was the fear of King Xuan.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside the hall again.
Yang Zhao walked in quickly, followed by several guards in green clothes, carrying some bamboo baskets with some bamboo slips inside.
After entering the main hall, the bamboo slips were put down, and Yang Zhao knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have found many letters at Maple Leaf Villa, all of which are correspondence between the Duke of Qi and certain ministers."
Hearing this, many people's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
There were also many people whose Adam's apples slipped and swallowed hard, and cold sweat slowly overflowed from their foreheads.
Now the crime of treason by the Duke of Qi has been confirmed, and he is also guilty of assassinating the king. If this is linked to him, as long as there is any connection with him, given the era at that time, you can be sentenced to death!
In the past, many ministers did not know about Duke Qi's conspiracy, and the exchange of letters was normal. But in this situation, how can people not panic.
Including Wang Su, who had also written one or two letters to Lu Qingshan, he also felt that a disaster was coming, and even his body was trembling slightly.
But King Xuan just glanced at the bamboo slips placed in the palace, and said in a calm voice: "No need to look at it, just burn them all."
"Ah? Your Majesty..." Yang Zhao was puzzled and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Huh!?" King Xuan's eyes froze.
"Yes! Yes!" Seeing this, Yang Zhao was startled. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly started to act according to the instructions.
According to King Xuan's order, the bamboo slips were burned on the spot outside the palace gate.
Seeing this scene, many ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Their bodies visibly softened, as if they were exhausted, and they began to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads with their official sleeves.
Lu Qingshan's party members have all been eliminated. If you really want to check the letters, it will not only be meaningless, but it will also cause chaos in the royal court. I don't know how many important officials are involved in this. They are not guilty at all. I can't believe it. Can you do it? ?
But King Xuan made an unexpected decision.
The ministers of Xuan Kingdom were relaxed and relaxed, but Xiao Yuan looked at King Xuan with a faint look, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a wonderful queen!"
After the matter was dealt with, King Xuan seemed to be in a bad mood due to Lu Qingshan: "Let's end today's discussion and withdraw from the court."
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty——" All the ministers saluted and shouted.
King Xuan stepped down from the throne and stepped out of the hall.
After he left, it took a while for the officials of the Xuan Kingdom to straighten up, and then subconsciously glanced at each other.
Only then did anyone realize that their backs were soaked with cold sweat without even realizing it.
The ministers came out of the hall in twos and threes and walked down the steps. At the same time, Wang Su also whispered:
"Your Majesty, this situation has a big plan, and it is obvious that the Duke of Qi is not alone. There was no news about such a change in the palace before. This is terrible..."
"This is a true monarch who holds the world in his hands and manages all the people under his rule." Yao Tingyu sighed slightly: "There is also the matter of letters. What a sage the king is. He is so broad-minded and amazing..."
In the big square under the steps.
Xiao Yuan and King Xuan walked side by side.
Seeing her sad expression, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Wang, don't be upset, everything is over."
When King Xuan heard this, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Wang, let's see King Xuan's royal joke."
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "But having said that, I really admire Sister Wang."
There was a trace of suspicion on King Xuan's face.
"I said you are amazing." Xiao Yuan continued to smile.
ah? King Xuan didn't react a bit, looking silly and cute.
Xiao Yuan did not say much more about this, and changed the subject: "This trip is worthwhile. Xuanguo is very good, the people are simple, and the relationship between Qin and Xuan is also growing day by day. Tomorrow, I should return to the country."
"Ah? Brother Wang, are you about to leave?" King Xuan opened his mouth and stopped.
"Yes, there are still many things in the country, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at her and said: "This trip to Xuanguo, Wang Mei entertained me wholeheartedly. If I have time to go to Qin someday, I will I will definitely accompany you throughout the whole process.”
"Tch, last time I went, Brother Wang looked impatient. Who are you kidding?" King Xuan didn't believe it, but he immediately said, "But, I really want to see Princess Qin and fall in love with them."
kindness? Xiao Yuan looked at her strangely.
King Xuan's face turned red and he quickly changed the subject, as if he was reluctant to leave: "Brother Wang really wants to leave? How many more days will he stay?"
"It's really inconvenient." Xiao Yuan said.
"Okay..." King Xuan was helpless, with a hint of melancholy on his face. He moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't speak.
The next day, Xiao Yuan said goodbye to King Xuan and prepared to return home.
Before leaving, King Xuan naturally saw him off in person.
The two walked together, leaving everyone behind, as if they were talking quietly.
King Xuan said: "Brother Wang, don't forget to promise Xuan Guo."
"Of course, no matter what happens to the war situation in the south, Qin will always stand by Xuan Guo." Xiao Yuan answered seriously, which was also because King Xuan helped him a lot.
"That's good." King Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, take care of yourself all the way."
"Sister Wang, stay."
