Chapter 389 Appeasement
A strong wind blew.
Everyone was trembling.
Xiao Lijing walked towards General Zhang with his slender legs, "Do you still recognize me?"
"See you, my lord!"
General Zhang's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.
After these words were spoken, no one dared to doubt Xiao Lijing's identity anymore, and everyone knelt on the ground.
Chu Wanyu skipped over to Chu Ruoran and said, "Sister, your eyesight has been bad lately. You didn't even recognize me!"
"This……"
Allen Chu shuddered and smiled awkwardly, "My sister just had a miscarriage and is not feeling well. I hope my sister can forgive me!"
"I know you're deaf and blind, and I don't blame you! Get up! I heard you're helping me manage my dowry. Let's have a good chat later!"
The word "dowry" was pronounced with emphasis.
Chu Ruoran was obviously panicked.
Chu Wanyu returned to Xiao Lijing after she finished speaking, "Your Highness, these soldiers actually dared to hurt innocent people..."
Enough talking.
Xiao Lijing said in a cold tone, "As soldiers, you should fight on the battlefield to protect the people, but you killed innocent people. You deserve to be killed! Come, execute all the soldiers who hurt the people..." Execute.
The last two words haven't been uttered yet.
General Zhang hurriedly said, "Please spare our lives, Your Majesty! These people are all imperial guards..."
The Imperial Guard was composed of the children of officials.
Any one of them is the son of a high-ranking official.
If anything happens, there will be no explanation.
Xiao Lijing was not afraid at all, "Those who kill civilians indiscriminately should be killed..."
"My lord, spare your life!"
Hear the word damn.
All the sons of officials were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy.
They were all people who were used to a life of luxury, and being a guard was just a job. The thought of losing their lives made them tremble with fear.
The timid ones even peed their pants in fear.
The smell of urine filled the air.
Chu Wanyu retreated in disgust, fanning her nose with her hand, "You are the emperor's close ministers, you don't have to be like this, how can you protect His Majesty's safety!"
One sentence patted several people's faces.
The guards were terrified. They not only lost face for themselves, but also for their families and His Majesty.
When the people heard this, some of them couldn't help laughing.
Laughter is contagious.
For a moment, the laughter came like a tide.
The guards hung their heads, wishing they could bury them in the ground.
The humiliation is almost over.
Chu Wanyu smiled sweetly, "It's not impossible to survive..."
"Princess, please give us a chance to live!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a guard quickly took over.
Chu Wanyu looked at everyone and said in a cold tone, "The Grand Canal is being built in the south. Let's make amends..."
These people will just waste the land if they die.
Might as well make some contribution.
Xiao Lijing nodded in agreement as soon as he heard it, "Yes, are you willing?"
"This……"
Life and death are just a thought away.
Even if I suffer while alive, I would rather not die.
The guards kowtowed in thanks.
A farce came to an end.
The innocent people died tragically, so Xiao Lijing spared their lives and they went to the Ministry of Households to collect their pensions.
After the matter was settled, Xiao Lijing and Chu Wanyu got back on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
……
royal palace.
Royal study room.
Upon learning what happened in the suburbs, the emperor was furious and smashed the inkstone to pieces.
"These rubbish, several generals were killed, and the Black Armor Army entered the capital without anyone noticing!"
That's a team of thousands of people.
Appeared silently in the suburbs of Beijing.
Then can he also appear in the capital silently?
Thinking of this, the emperor felt a chill creeping into the soles of his feet. "Waste, all waste!"
"Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself!"
"How to calm down?"
The emperor paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, "I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect..."
Wild fire, in spring.
Thinking of the killers who had been killed during this period, his face was filled with pain.
Although he was the ruler of the world, he had very little money at his disposal.
Those killers were raised with real money, and now...
He clenched his fist and ordered in a cold voice, "Tell the people from the Imperial Hospital to prepare immediately!"
Some are happy and some are sad.
The emperor was furious, while the empress dowager was smiling happily.
When she learned that Xiao Lijing had returned, tears welled up in her eyes, "My son is not dead, my son is back!"
"Don't cry, Queen Mother! It's a great thing that the prince has returned! A great thing!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly order someone to prepare the meal..." The Queen Mother was so excited that she was incoherent.
The nanny beside her tried to stop them, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has other plans! We..."
"Yes! You're right, I can't cause chaos!" The Queen Mother sighed slowly, "From now on, this capital is destined to be in turmoil!"
She knew that the emperor had sent someone to assassinate Xiao Lijing.
The two brothers became mortal enemies and there was no turning back.
She twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I really don't know how I will explain this to the late emperor when I go downstairs!"
"Miss!"
The nanny beside her had a distressed look on her face, tears in her eyes, "The late emperor will not blame you!"
"Forget it! I'm not feeling well. If..." The Queen Mother held the wooden box in her hand and said, "Someone from Prince Zhan's Mansion will come to the palace and give these things to Prince Zhan!"
