Chapter 90: The Emperor's Sword 3

Leng Qing and Liang Shenghao's conversation, the final result was an unhappy break up - no matter what Liang Shenghao said, Leng Qing always treated it indifferently or avoided answering; Liang Shenghao tried hard but didn't get the answer he wanted, and finally had to leave with a cold face.

After Liang Shenghao left, Leng Qing was a little dazed, raising her eyes to look at the boundless cold night, not knowing where she, a homeless person, should go now......

Standing under the cold lamp under the palace wall, combing the Wangxian bun, a pure black crystal ginseng silver hairpin on the hairpin, and a few plain sky blue bead flowers, wearing a pair of silver silk earrings, wearing a sky blue neon dress, a dark red ribbon on the chest, a shawl with ink inlaid with the same color fur on the shoulders, and Leng Qing who stepped on the crimson koi embroidered shoes silently looked back at the direction of the Shu Palace......

In the end, Leng Qing shook her head silently - forget it, she definitely can't go back to Yishu Hall now, not to mention that Liang Ruming is still lying in the inner hall of Yishu Palace, there are still a large number of people gathered in the outer hall of Yishu Palace!

But don't go back to the Shudian Temple...... Where can she go in this huge court?

Or...... Let's go out of the palace and go to Zhu Mansion to find Zhu Zimo......

Zhu Zimo entered the palace with her, and when she entered the palace, she promised Mu Ziru that she would take a good look at Zhu Zimo at the palace banquet, but the result was ...... I don't know if Zhu Zimo left the palace alone and returned to Zhu's mansion safely......

Thinking like this, Leng Qing simply withdrew his gaze from the Yishu Palace, turned around, and walked in the direction of the palace gate......

The cold winter night is not suitable for travel, and the emperor died tonight, so that the huge court is frighteningly quiet.

Under the endless night, a long road is bottomless, and there are sporadic lights under the palace walls on both sides of the road, reflecting the bluestone road on the road. As far as the eye can see, the narrow road reflecting the faint cold light is so quiet that there is no line.

Leng Qing walked alone in the dark corridor, the lights were dim, and all around were quiet, but her footsteps were ethereal and clear.

Walking slowly all the way in the direction of the palace gate, Leng Qing kept thinking about the conversation between her and Liang Shenghao before......

Leng Qing knew that Liang Shenghao's suspicion was not his suspicion alone, but the suspicion of everyone in the Yishu Palace!

Although in the face of Liang Shenghao's doubts, Leng Qing can frankly admit that the so-called "emperor's will" was made up by her. But except for Liang Shenghao, in the face of the suspicion of the rest, Leng Qing could only grit her teeth, and she definitely couldn't admit half a word!

Liang Ruming said that although Liang Shenghao is the prince, once Liang Shengde has an accident, Liang Shenghao is also qualified to inherit the throne, but Liang Shenghao is on Liang Shengde's side, and his position is very firm, like a rock.

Liang Ruming also said that if it is necessary or urgent, as long as it is out of favor of Liang Shengde, Leng Qing can go to Liang Shenghao to help......

And in the end, Liang Ruming gave such an assertion - as long as the person who inherits his throne is Liang Shengde, Liang Shenghao will definitely be a qualified courtier who is loyal to the monarch and loves the people.

Liang Ruming said very surely, so from beginning to end, Leng Qing never asked Liang Ruming - why did Liang Shenghao, as a prince with the qualifications to succeed to the throne, support Liang Shengde so unswervingly?

Leng Qing didn't ask or doubt because Leng Qing believed in Liang Ruming's judgment and believed in the judgment of a person who had sat in that supreme position for decades, tasted all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and was warm and welcoming-

Thereupon...... Since Liang Ruming said that Liang Shenghao was credible, then she believed that Liang Shenghao was credible, and since Liang Ruming believed that Liang Shenghao could help her, she also believed that Liang Shenghao could help her......

It is precisely because of this that all along, in the face of Liang Shenghao's many questions and doubts, Leng Qing will not deliberately hide many things, and basically tell Liang Shenghao what she can tell. After all, if you want to seek help from someone, you must first gain a certain level of trust from the other person.

But this kind of thing to win the trust of the other party in order to seek help from the other party is possible and undoable.

Leng Qing is a businessman, and she knows a truth very well: no matter what kind of transaction you make, no matter how big the benefits are, you can't tell your old bottom and inventory. If she hands over her old bottom and doesn't leave any room for herself, then she will ...... I'm afraid it's coming to an end.

Although Leng Qing promised to help Liang Ruming, promised to stand on the same front as Liang Ruming, and would do her best to do that, Leng Qing had no intention of burying her own life in this other world.

And in this treacherous situation, if you want to survive, you have to leave a way back for yourself...... However, a back path is obviously not enough for Leng Qing, after all, her opponent is much stronger than her!

Especially now that Liang Ruming has died, Leng Qing has lost her biggest protective barrier, and the danger factor on this road with no end in sight is rising in a straight line, so she has to leave a few more back roads for herself.

Since he wants to leave a way back for himself, what can Leng Qing do in the face of Liang Shenghao's threat except to deal with it indifferently?

Although Leng Qing herself didn't know what was waiting for her at the end of this road, at least, she couldn't turn around and send herself to a dead end on the way!

Even if nothing else, just talking about the integrity of being a businessman, since Leng Qing promised Liang Ruming to enter this game, Leng Qing will definitely abide by her own promise - to take this road to the end!

Although Leng Qing still doesn't understand why Liang Ruming chose her, but Liang Ruming spent so much time and so much effort to set up this game, and quietly led everyone into the game, how could Leng Qing ruin Liang Ruming's hard work at such a critical time because of Liang Shenghao's few threats?

Not to mention...... In this game, Leng Qing is not a trader, but a sword held in the hands of the person who controls the overall situation!

From the moment she decided to enter the game, Leng Qing was very clear about her own positioning - from the moment she stepped into the game, she Leng Qing was just a sword, an imperial sword that was only controlled by Liang Ruming-

"I Lengqing swear to the sky today, I am willing to serve the emperor in this life, only for the emperor alone, to make a sword to kill the enemy, kill all the enemies that the emperor wants to kill, and return Liang to a Haiqing River Yan, a peaceful world......"

This is the oath she made to Liang Ruming when she formed an alliance with Liang Ruming, even if Liang Ruming has died now, this oath still exists!!

And from the day Liang Ruming summoned her into the palace, the bureau laid out by Liang Ruming, a huge bureau, has quietly started to operate......

Although there have been many accidents in the operation of this bureau, such as the sudden death of Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying...... For example, Liang Ruming's death...... But these accidents will not affect the overall operation of this bureau, because this bureau is set for a goal, as long as her imperial sword exists for a day, this bureau will continue to operate steadily......

Although as a "sharp sword", all she needs to do is follow the orders of the "master" to kill the enemy, but now that Liang Ruming is gone, her "imperial sword" ...... It's time to have your own mind......

Liang Ruming has always been behind her before, so many times she can do many things casually and fearlessly, which also leads to her lazy and lax attitude, which leads to many things that could have been avoided but unfortunately happened.

Now that Liang Ruming is gone, shouldn't she cheer up and get serious and move her muscles and bones?

In particular, as a collaborator, Liang Ruming had already given her a stable identity, huge benefits, and even benefited the people around her before the matter was completed...... But she's been lazy, so she can't do that......

Doing business, it's about mutual benefit, and she can't take advantage of it, but Liang Ruming has been losing money......

has been lazy for so long, shouldn't she also do something seriously to repay Liang Ruming's kindness to her......

Although from the current point of view, Liang Ruming's death is not beneficial to her, but in the long run, it is a loss of the horse - how can I know if it is a blessing!

The old calendar of this Great Liang Country has been hanging for too long, too long, and the old diseases have accumulated too much. Now with the death of Liang Ruming, the old calendar of the Great Liang Kingdom should also be turned over, and this old disease ...... It's time to take care of it.

Although the last night of this old calendar will be destined to have no one to sleep...... But for her, this night was her last night's sleep......

Tomorrow, when the morning sun rises, this great Liang country will usher in the new year......

So...... Let's start this new year......

In the new year, this Great Liang Country should also have a new beginning......

**

In just one month, the prince and the crown princess of the Great Liang Kingdom passed away one after another, and then the emperor died...... This new year in Daliang is destined to be depressing and full of sadness.

And because the country cannot be without a king for a day, and if you want the new monarch to ascend the throne and hold the government as soon as possible, you must let the first emperor enter the land as soon as possible.

So, after the negotiation between the Great Liang Rite Department and Taichang Temple, Liang Ruming's funeral was set on the fourth day of the first month of the New Year.

Liang Ruming's funeral was not only a very short stop time, but all the matters and degrees at the funeral were as usual. And the imperial mausoleum where Liang Ruming was buried is naturally - Shengling.

Speaking of which, if Liang Ruming hadn't realized that his physical condition was deteriorating a few years ago, and his spirit was not as good as before, he deliberately instructed the Liang Rite Department and Taichang Temple to slowly start preparing for his death, otherwise the funeral matter that was so short this time would really make the Liang court people turn upside down.

It is precisely because Liang Ruming was prescient that Liang Ruming's funeral was hasty, but it was grand.

and because of Liang Ruming's political clarity during his reign, he was pro-virtuous and far-reaching, appointed meritocracy, and exempted from forced labor...... It was very popular with the people, so on the day of Liang Ruming's funeral, in addition to the officials of the DPRK and China who went out to send the funeral, the people of Xuanping City and several surrounding towns also spontaneously organized and followed the funeral procession from Xuanping City to Shengling, silently sending each other along the way......

For a time, inside and outside the city, there were thousands of empty alleys.

In the thirtieth year of Leng Qing's Chinese New Year's Eve, Yu Liang Ruming left the palace on the night of his death and went to the Zhu Mansion, where he spent the first day of the cold and deserted New Year, and entered the palace early in the morning on the second day of the new year.

However, because of his identity and other reasons, in the past few days after returning to the palace, Leng Qing had nothing to do except stay in Yishu Hall and guard the empty palace. During this period, except for Chen Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came to look for Leng Qing once, hoping to take away Liang Ruming's dragon card in Leng Qing's hand and put it in Liang Ruming's coffin for burial, no one came to Leng Qing.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, on the day of Liang Ruming's funeral, it was almost expected that Leng Qing was not arranged to enter the funeral procession.

Fortunately, Leng Qing didn't plan to walk so far to send the funeral...... In this different world where travel basically relies on two legs, from Creping City to Shengling, it takes a whole day!

Thinking about it again, now that Liang Ruming is gone, and the heir to the throne has also been decided, it seems useless for her to continue to stay in this Liang Xiao City, Leng Qing simply packed up her things in the Yishu Palace, and prepared to leave the palace to go to Zhufu with the burden.

However......

Leng Qing finished packing up her things, carrying a burden in the crook of her arm, and before she could walk out of the door of the inner hall of the Yishu Palace, she was blocked in the inner hall of the Yishu Hall by a mighty team of people and horses. And the leader of the team of mighty people who blocked Leng Qing's way was Gu Linyu, who also did not go to the funeral!

Because of the new funeral of the first emperor, as the official widow of the first emperor, Gu Linyu will probably not be able to wear luxurious and bright jewelry or colorful and prosperous clothes for a long time in the future.

Yes, at first glance, when I saw Gu Linyu, who had always been dressed up and rich and graceful, suddenly faced the sky, with only a few plain white bead flowers in her bun, wearing a plain white palace dress, and her face was slightly haggard, Leng Qing was a little stunned.

Compared with Gu Linyu's simplicity, Leng Qing is dressed up a little gorgeously - in addition to the same unpowdered delicacy, and the three thousand green silk tied at random with a white hairband, Leng Qing's earrings are silver tired silk earrings, wearing a silver silk double buckle bracelet on her wrist, wearing a silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, and a thick brocade and silver fox skin cloak covered with eight happy encounters......

Leng Qing naturally doesn't like to wear red and green, so her usual dress is basically elegant and plain. And Leng Qing's dress today would be quite elegant and plain if she was dressed in normal times, but at this moment, she was compared to Gu Linyu, who was plain white and haggard...... It has nothing to do with plainness, at most it is elegant.

Then again-

Leng Qing, who was carrying a burden in the crook of his arm, and Gu Linyu, who was carrying a large group of people, bumped into each other in front of the door of the inner hall of Yishu Palace, and before Leng Qing could react, Gu Linyu was here, and heard Gu Linyu, who was dressed in plain clothes, asked so indifferently: "Leng Zhaoyi, where are you going to go with this burden?"

Because there have been too many things that have happened recently, and most of them are terrible things, Leng Qing is not in the mood to "chat" with Gu Linyu at the moment, so she directly and simply replied to Gu Linyu: "Out of the palace." ”
