Chapter 420: Hongmen Banquet

"Back to Your Majesty, a young couple from Jiangnan has recently appeared in the capital, and the man spent a lot of money just to be happy for Mrs. Bo, but they walked in the capital very ostentatious, and they looked like ...... Shen Ling and Jing Ci who died."

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately turned purple.

He had been tortured a lot by the toxins of the Xuanbing Tree these days, coupled with the strange letters found under his pillow and the increasingly strange words in the capital, he had already guessed that the two of them had come out of their shells that day, but he didn't expect them to dare to dangle so obviously under his nose.

What is this not provocation?

"Go and summon them into the palace, and I will get to know this young couple well."

The Emperor laughed fiercely, and he was so hard at hand that he couldn't crush the cup in his hand.

At that time, Shen Ling and Jing Ci were in the house they bought, and they were interrupted by the eunuchs from the palace, and they were a little unhappy.

The two of them glanced at each other, and at the moment when their eyes met, they already had many answers.

"The emperor has an order to ask the two of you to enter the palace to meet you, and invite you to eat."

Listening to the eunuch's shrill voice, Shen Ling couldn't help frowning.

"I've been feeling a little unwell these days, and the emperor's kindness has been appreciated." Shen Ling knew that the emperor had to give these things without shirking, otherwise a hundred heads would not be enough to cut off, but even so, she still didn't want to see the emperor's ugly face.

Jing Ci nudged her arm slightly next to her as a sign of reassurance and hint.

"Since the emperor has given us a great reward, Madame should go, this is unacceptable." He used his eyes to hint that Shen Ling was not capricious.

Since he chose to make waves in the capital, this Hongmen banquet must come sooner or later.

Hearing this, Shen Ling nodded weakly and bonelessly, and pulled the maid to the side room to dress up.

She chose a bright red soft woven robe, looking from afar like a fairy who fell from the sky, it is impossible to say that she is the one who can not be said to be the same, there are flowers on her forehead, painted with distant mountain daisies, painted with the most precious lipstick, and Shen Ling, who was always plain in the border in the past, is like two people.

Jing Ci was dressed in a black robe, with jade and sachets hanging on his body, and he was really like a crown of jade.

The two entered the palace hand in hand, and the emperor had already prepared wine and food for them to come.

When he saw Shen Ling and Jing Ci appear, he was furious, and he wanted to send someone to kill the two of them immediately, but this trick didn't work for the time being.

He was like a fox, showing a female dry smile, "The big families in the north and south of the Yangtze River are rich enough to rival the country, and Mrs. Bo is happy to spend a lot of money, and she really staged a good show of golden cicadas coming out of their shells."

In a few words, he summed up what the two of them had done recently.

Shen Ling's bright face showed just the right pandering smile, and after sitting down with Jing Ci, she looked directly at the emperor, she didn't beat the drum in her heart, but was full of confidence, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter and husband don't know what you're talking about, there are more similar people in the world, maybe you recognize the wrong person."

She dared to play Tai Chi with the emperor so blatantly, naturally she was not afraid of him.

When the emperor heard this, he instantly became angry, pointed at Shen Ling's nose and said, "You don't pretend to be stupid! These days, the two of you have turned the capital upside down and the city is full of storms, and even the neighborhood children now have to say that I am not, and now they have changed their faces, do you really think I will believe it?"

He flicked his cuffs, and was about to call someone to ask the two of them for sinking, but saw that Shen Ling was still not afraid of danger.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," she sneered in her heart, she didn't expect that as the king of a country, he would be so impulsive, "My husband and I have spent a lot of money these days, which has caused many powerful families to look up to us, but in fact we are jealous. They are lazy all day long, and there are many officials in the family, who occupy most of the power of the court, and when there is finally one who wants to take their place, they have to cut their heads and squeeze them out, which is really unnecessary."

She saw that the emperor's pupils dilated slightly, and his mouth seemed to be about to say something, presumably he had already expected what Shen Ling was going to say.

"Yes, I know, the emperor, you must have some plan to guard against them like a tiger

Strategy." Shen Ling said that these clouds were light and light, and his face was even more impersonal, on the surface he was welcoming the emperor, but he was full of coercion inside.

She has a lot of evidence in her hand, not only his wolf ambition back then, but also the fact that he doesn't trust anyone, especially a powerful family that can eat people.

Of course, the emperor's weakness was so easily grasped by her, of course, it was not pleasant.

He had a bitter face, but he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't go on with her like this, so he simply played the emotional card with Shen Ling.

"You kid is still too young, you have been raised by me since you were a child, but now you are so cold, I am really sad to look at it, why don't you and I have something to say, just like before."

The emperor's words made Shen Ling even more angry, she just wanted him to carry it around, not to warn the two of them, but now when she heard him say this, the bitter water in her heart surged together, and she couldn't help but talk to him well.

He still has the face to reminisce with her? It was as if Shen Ling was brought up by him with hard work.

It's a pity that what he has done, Shen Ling will never forget in his life.

"The emperor said seriously, the people dare not have anything to do with the emperor who is high in the past, since the death of their parents, there has not been a day of real comfort, once looked at the sky, and then gradually grew up, knowing that human life is controlled by themselves, but the sins and hardships suffered over the years, I am afraid that there are more roads than eight-year-old children."

Her words are equivalent to tearing off the emperor's face and rubbing it on the soles of her feet.

When the emperor heard this, his already bad face completely became like a pot helmet, and his face was even more hot and painful.

"Someone!"

He was like a sleeping and awakened lion, as soon as these words came out, the guards who were ambushed in the palace were dispatched instantly, and before the two of them could be surrounded, Zhu Qing killed them from outside.

"I'll take you away!" Zhu Qing has already been outside to inquire about the situation at any time.

Although his troops are not as large as the emperor's own soldiers, but fortunately, there is no problem at all to protect Shen Ling and Jing Ci, and the three of them came in and out of the palace, shaking the emperor in a big circle, always paying attention to whether they can be caught.

But in the end, they escaped.

Shen Ling thought of the emperor's actions, so he couldn't wait to spit on him, and as soon as he left the palace, he sent people to shake out all the remaining evidence, and the news was directed towards the powerful people of various families, as if they were lighting fires in different places, and finally set the prairie on fire.
