After the emperor's execution was completed, Shen Ling also felt relieved.

The big stone that she had been thinking about for a long time finally landed, and she naturally had nothing to say, but Commander Gu walked towards her slowly, with a heavy expression, "County Lord, I have something to tell you, can I take a step to speak?"

Shen Ling nodded, waited for her to finish speaking, and motioned for him to come to his palace with his eyes.

After the two returned to the palace, Commander Gu was relieved to tell everything, "Although the emperor of the previous dynasty has been executed, he has already told some of his secrets."

Hearing this, Shen Ling raised his eyebrows and guessed, "But because of what he said before his temporary execution?"

"Yes," Commander Gu was a little surprised, but she didn't expect her to guess, "He had already told me about it earlier, but he never mentioned that such a thing happened."

I had already guessed that this matter was not simple, but I didn't expect that someone would be able to unite with the emperor of the previous dynasty to do such a thing.

"Send someone to find out."

Her eyes were cold, revealing a little piercing power, as if she wanted to see through people, which was terrifying.

"Yes." Commander Gu pondered for a few seconds, and immediately set about dealing with this matter.

Later, after Jing Ci finished dealing with the matter at hand, he came to Shen Ling's bedroom at noon, and saw that she was taking a nap, so he kept quiet and couldn't bear to disturb her.

But she sensed Jing Xi's breath, her eyelids couldn't help but tremble slightly for a while, and she chose to open her eyes.

She really can't hide her thoughts, and it's hard to attribute this matter to a joke, this is a problem about her own country and the people, once a person becomes a superior, he can't help but question the rights of others, and he will not allow those who plot against usurpation to appear.

She wrapped her arms around Jing Xi's neck and whispered to him, telling him everything.

Jing Xi's eyes turned from a thousand gentleness to coldness in an instant, but when he looked at Shen Ling, he was gentle, and he simply assured her, "I will also investigate this matter."

He said that he would do it, and immediately found someone after accompanying Shen Ling, he crossed his hands on his waist and ordered, "All forces have been mobilized, be sure to find out the person behind this scene." c

After many days, Shen Ling didn't have any clue.

This matter was so heavy that she couldn't breathe, but unfortunately the emperor of the previous dynasty was dead, even if he was alive, he would not take the initiative to say half a word about this matter, which was equivalent to death without proof.

"The country can't be without a king for a day, the first emperor has been dead for many days, and he also returned the throne to you, the county lord, so naturally a new person should be elected as the emperor as soon as possible." Zeng thought about it for Min and said to Shen Ling.

She nodded, indicating that she had no opinion, but she already had an idea in her heart, although she was not sure, but she had to have the courage to try.

Seeing this, Zeng Weimin immediately summoned the former ministers, they hibernated for many days, and finally cooperated with Shen Ling to see the day when there was a dawn, and they were very happy.

"Do you have any other opinions about the selection of the new emperor?" Zeng Weimin did not take the initiative to mention Shen Ling, he knew that the choice of an emperor should be the will of the people, and he could not force it no matter what.

Everyone looked at each other, and they already had the answer in their hearts, without exception.

"It was the county lord who broke through the city gate, and everything the county lord has done for our people these days is also obvious to all, so naturally we can't choose anyone else, and the county lord is the only suitable person."

One of the ministers was the first to propose.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The people behind followed closely behind, looking at Shen Ling and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Ling sighed slightly.

These people have successively elected herself as the empress, but Shen Ling's heart is like a mirror, she knows what she is good at and what she is not good at, she has experienced the feelings of the emperor for a few days these days, and she really does not dare to agree with these so-called etiquette dogmas, and she is used to living an unrestrained life, and suddenly letting her become an emperor in politics like this is undoubtedly torture for herself.

Shen Ling's delicate and good-looking face suddenly turned cold, she couldn't bear to sweep these people's interest, but she knew that if she didn't say it today, she would be the one who would suffer and be blamed in the future.

"I've done a lot these days, but I know myself

There are many people who are not suitable for this position, so you don't have to stick to me," Shen Ling refused, "Although I overthrew the first emperor, I just can't bear to see the people suffer under his rule, that's all."

Hearing her words, everyone's faces changed instantly, and the court was in an uproar, including Zeng Weimin, who hated iron and steel, and hated to put his hand on her head to see what was wrong with her.

I said it before, why did it become like this?

Shen Ling couldn't stand everyone's discussion and looked at her with a slightly disappointed gaze, and her heart instantly lowered, ignoring their gaze, she walked out and returned to the pool near her palace to be distracted.

There was a sound of footsteps beside her, but she didn't look back.

Jing Ci saw her frowning with a bitter face, sullen, he knew what had just happened in the court, and the opinions of the courtiers should make her feel uncomfortable, and now such a situation will happen sooner or later.

He wants Shen Ling to be himself unswervingly, and he will naturally support her in everything she does.

"It can be seen that our county lord really doesn't want to be an empress, but he still longs for freedom. But I don't blame you, if it were me, I would do the same." After Jing Xi finished speaking, he rubbed Shen Ling's head and said to her with a smile.

When Shen Ling heard this, she raised her eyes to look at him, and there was a little more girl's worries, although she wanted to work hard, she couldn't really give up her freedom in exchange for the peace of the court.

"I'll tell you the news," Jing Ci leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "I found the child of the royal family of the previous dynasty, if you want, you can go and meet her."

Hearing this, Shen Ling's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped some brand new life-saving straw, and took Jing Xi's hand, "What you said is true?"

He nodded, and when he saw her happy appearance, he couldn't help but whisper to comfort her, "You can go with me to find it."

Seeing this, Jing Ci immediately took Shen Ling to look for it, and when he came to the house, he happened to see the officers and soldiers with angry eyes, beating young children with sticks, and spitting out ugly words in their mouths.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Shen Ling stepped forward and showed the token to stop their beating.

However, the child had been beaten by them and was delirious, and his face was blue and purple.

She reached out to help the child up, comforted him after taking him away, cleaned up his dirty clothes for him, saw the other party looking at her pitifully, and called her "sister".

Shen Ling greeted him with a smile, and after the two got along, she knew that the family who picked him up taught him to be a pickpocket.
