The Queen never wanted to touch Shentu Ying from beginning to end, and An Yan saw this.
But Anyan couldn't act according to her ideas. The Queen was still an extremely important tool to him, and he couldn't do anything in the future without the Queen.
Seeing the diva who looked like a woman in front of her, An Yan's heart moved slightly and asked: "Did what I did make you unhappy?"
"If Shentu wins and falls, Xuantang will be in chaos." Tianhou said.
Once Shentu Ying lost power, Xuantang would indeed be in chaos, but An Yan never intended to use mortal means to steal the country.
Regarding Pei Xiao's death, even if other monks did not take action, An Yan planned to ask Master Xuanyi to do the same thing.
What the Queen is worried about is that after the fall of Shentu Ying, she will have no support. Some officials in the court may turn to Li again. At that time, all the spearheads will be pointed at her, and there will be some opinions that the Queen should return power to Li.
"Don't worry, anyone who dares to disobey your will and mine will die." An Yan reached out and gently stroked her cheek, saying slowly.
"It's so deserted here. I'll spend more time with you in the future."
The Queen of Heaven's beautiful eyes were filled with light waves, she nodded gently, and snuggled into An Yan's arms.
An Yanze thought of something and suddenly asked, "Can you tell me about the former prince?"
This may be the source of the rift between Shen Tuying and Yu Jingtang, and An Yan really wants to know.
"..."
The Queen was silent for a while and said: "He is indeed not suitable to be emperor. It was Shen Tuying who pushed him to that position..."
The Queen began to tell An Yan about what happened that year.
The former prince was arrogant, cruel, murderous, and had unusual thoughts. Countless female officials who served him were eventually tortured and killed. Everyone in the palace looked down upon him and shunned him.
The prime minister at the time was Yu Jingtang's father. Seeing the prince's cruelty, he advocated deposing the prince and establishing a new king. When the prince found out, he summoned him to the palace late at night, shot him with a crossbow, cut off his head, chopped his body into pieces and fed it to the dogs. He sewed the head to a dog's body and threw it on the way to the court.
This instantly caused an uproar in the court. The ministers and officials knelt in front of the palace and demanded that the prince be deposed.
The final result was that Shentu Ying led troops into the palace and suppressed the matter with thunderous means.
At that time, many people died, regardless of their official position, but there were always those who were afraid of death, and the court was undergoing a major reshuffle.
But on the eve of his accession to the throne, the prince was poisoned and died in his palace.
"Has the murderer been found?" An Yan asked.
The Queen was silent for a while and said, "Yu Jingtang sent someone to do it."
An Yan was not surprised by this result. He also felt that the death of the former prince must have something to do with Yu Jingtang. Yu Jingtang's father's posthumous name was Wenzheng. Such an evaluation was enough to show how high his status and reputation were. Faced with such revenge for killing his father, ordinary people would definitely not be able to bear it.
"You don't hate him?"
The Queen shook her head slightly and said with a sigh of relief: "If he really becomes the emperor, it will be a disaster for Xuantang. Yu Jingtang... is saving Xuantang."
When she said this, her tone was calm and there was no trace of sadness.
"I didn't hold Yu Jingtang accountable, the matter was suppressed, and then, I came to this position."
For the former prince, there was no funeral ceremony after his death, and all records in the history books were erased. In another hundred years, it would be as if this person had never existed.
#
A few days later.
The son of General Shentu Ying, Shentu Junshi, is getting married to Princess Jianing!
Yu Jingtang also received the invitation, and to An Yan's surprise, he was also mentioned in the invitation.
An Yan didn't want to go, but Yu Jingtang's car arrived in front of his house and wanted to take him with it. An Yan put the purple spiritual jade on her body before setting off.
"What does Shentu Ying ask me to do?"
Inside the carriage, An Yan couldn't help but ask.
He and Shentu Ying never exchanged a word, and the few times they met were in public places. It could even be said that they had no interaction at all.
"We'll know when we get there," Yu Jingtang said.
An Yan frowned secretly and reached out to touch the jade pendant on her chest, feeling a little relieved.
When Yu Jingtang took An Yan to the General's Mansion, he attracted the attention of many people. Unlike when he was in the court, not many people around Yu Jingtang came to greet him this time.
Thinking about it, the two factions in the imperial court are Yu Jingtang and Shen Tuying. These people in the mansion probably hate Yu Jingtang in their hearts.
Later, Pei Shihe took the initiative to greet Yu Jingtang, and Wenren Yunjian also came. The few of them stood together, which didn't seem too deserted.
An Yan was slightly uneasy.
A royal wedding is different from an ordinary wedding, and the etiquette sequence that Anyan had to go through when getting married was also different, and it was more complicated and luxurious.
An Yan met Shen Tu Junshi, wearing a bright red dress in front of others, with a smile on his face, energetic and handsome.
Today's guests at the general's residence, it can be said that all the people from Shentu's winning party are here. His subordinates, disciples, friends, and more or less a bunch of warriors are making noisy noises at Shentu Junshi.
During the banquet, four people, Yu Jingtang, Wenren Yunjian, An Yan and Pei Shihe, sat at the same table.
Wenren Yunjian was about to drink, but An Yan reached out and held him down.
"What?" Wenren Yunjian was puzzled.
An Yan said: "Father-in-law, your body is no longer suitable for drinking. You need to pay attention to your health."
Hearing the admonishment, he laughed and said: "You kid is still taking care of me. It's not enough for these two mouthfuls. Besides, it's very boring here. If you can't drink anymore, why don't you suffocate me to death?"
However, An Yan's hand tightened on his wrist, and she shook her head gently at him with a solemn look.
Yu Jingtang also looked over.
An Yan said, "Uncle, you shouldn't drink alcohol either."
Hearing Ren Yun's advice, Yu Jingtang frowned and looked at An Yan.
Pei Shihe, who was sitting at the same table, looked at the three of them and suddenly smiled at An Yan and said, "Can I drink?"
An Yan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister Pei, please help yourself."
The banquet was in full swing, and the martial arts men were even more dissolute after being drunk. On the other hand, An Yan's place was quiet and deserted.
Wenren Yunjian came over and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with you kid?"
Yu Jingtang just looked at the glass of wine on the table without saying a word.
An Yan also responded in a low voice: "It's the Queen's wish."
What does Queen of Heaven mean...What does Queen of Heaven mean?
The wedding banquet was in full swing when Shen Tuying came over. He had also drank a lot of wine, his face was red and a little black, and his messy beard was stained with wine, but he no longer looked so fierce.
At first, he handed over to Yu Jingtang and Pei Shihe, and then started to be polite to Pei Shihe, saying that the hospitality was not considerate and overbearing.
"Jingtang, I recently got a new masterpiece, would you like to take a look at it?"
Yu Jingtang nodded calmly, then stood up and left with Shen Tuying.
Only An Yan, Wen Ren Yunjian and Pei Shihe were left at the same table.
Pei Shihe thought for a long time, and suddenly said to Wenren Yunjian, "I remembered that I have something important at home, so I'm going to leave first."
"Prime Minister Pei is easy."
Before Pei Shihe left, he couldn't help but glance at An Yan.
Only then did Wenren Yunjian ask An Yan: "What's going on?"
An Yan pondered for a while and said, "Father-in-law, you will know later."
Wenren Yunjian frowned and glanced at the people present. He saw Wu Shiwei. The old guy also drank too much. He took off his shirt to reveal his strong arms and followed Yao Chongshen there to sing to his heart's content. The people around him cheered and cheered.
A man with a military background has such a temperament. It can be said that except for Wen Ying who was still lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get out of the hospital, almost all of Shentu Ying's well-known subordinates in the gods were here.
The ritual music continued uninterrupted, playing one song after another, bringing the atmosphere to the climax.
A sudden burst of rapid and heavy footsteps came from outside the courtyard door.
Swish, swish, swish!
A group of soldiers wearing pitch-black armor broke into the wedding banquet.
The ceremony and music stopped abruptly, and all the guests fell silent instantly. The shirtless Wu Shiwei looked at the menacing Xuan Jiawei and couldn't help but step forward.
"What are you doing? Don't you know what the occasion is today!"
The leader held a delicate compass and did not speak. He just glanced at the constantly beating needle on the compass.
Stupid!
The black sword came out of its sheath in an instant and pierced Wu Shiwei's chest.
Wenren Yunjian's eyes widened in horror.
