Chapter 81: Taking Refuge
Although everyone was very curious about the identity of this man, after all, Xiao Guangji had already opened his mouth and could no longer discuss his identity, and everyone did not dare to discuss it.
In the palace itself, it was rumored that when Jiang Duanchen and the queen mother turned against each other, they would want to keep a distance from him because they were afraid of what Jiang Duanchen was doing.
And the queen mother is with Xiao Heng, so the palace naturally attaches more importance to Xiao Heng in the matter of choosing the prince.
Seeing today's posture, the matter between the queen mother and the man should be known by the saint, and there will be no good fruit to eat in the future. If the queen falls out of favor, even if she is supporting Xiao Heng, she will have no prestige.
On the other hand, Jiang Duanchen not only cut off the man's hands in public, but also was given the right to dispose of his body by the Holy Lord, it seems that the Holy Lord is biased towards Jiang Duanchen.
At present, the situation between the DPRK and China has shown some spearheads.
After Xiao Guangji left, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Duanchen, wanting to see what he did with this man's body.
Jiang Duanchen himself glanced at the corpse on the ground with disdain, but turned around, looked at Su Ling with worry in his eyes and said, "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to dare to do something to you."
Su Ling glanced at the corpse on the ground, her eyes were full of hatred, but she still comforted Jiang Duanchen and said, "It's okay, he is also dead and has been punished."
She noticed the eyes of the people around her, so she suppressed her voice and said to Jiang Duanchen, "We caused such a big basket at her birthday banquet today, how should we end it?"
Jiang Duanchen snorted coldly and said, "It's all self-inflicted, let's go home."
Su Ling nodded.
Jiang Duanche grabbed Su Ling's waist and prepared to leave, and when he left, he glanced at Xue Fei's corpse on the ground with his eyes. Xue Fei immediately arched his hand in understanding.
After Jiang Duanchen left, Xue Fei ordered several guards to carry Shi Lei's body away.
After Xue Fei also left, three faces in the crowd of onlookers looked at each other.
Qin Sen frowned and said, "Did you see any clues through today's events?"
Liu Hanhong stroked his beard and said, "It seems that we are standing in the wrong line."
Liu Xi also asked nervously, "Then what now?"
After Liu Xi said this, the faces of the three people became heavy.
Liu Xi was even more remorseful in his heart, especially when he remembered the day when Jiang Duanchen came to his mansion as a guest. Because of the estrangement between me and him before, I was scared out of my guts, and I made such a choice with a brain fever.
Now that the three of them have been sold by Xiao Heng, if they want to gain a firm foothold in this palace in the future, they can only choose another master.
Jiang Duanchen should have supported Xiao Yan, although he didn't express it on the surface. But everyone knows that Xiao Heng likes Lord Jiang's wife.
At that time, on the day of Jiang Duanchen's wedding, Xiao Heng went to make a wedding, but the news was rumored.
Presumably, no one would support a person who covets his wife.
The three of them made up their minds in their hearts, their eyes became firm, and they glanced at each other before leaving the Fengming Palace.
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
As soon as Su Lin came back, he locked himself in the bath room, washing the places on his body that had been touched by Shi Lei over and over again. She rubbed those places fiercely, and felt disgusting at the thought of her body being touched by others, not to mention that she was Nie Yunhua's lover.
But after today's incident, she also sighed.
In his previous life, he was killed by Nie Yunhua, and now it is Jiang Duanchen who indirectly forced Nie Yunhua's lover to death.
It can be said that heaven is a good reincarnation.
When he thought about it like this, Su Ling's heart calmed down a lot. When she freshened up and walked out of the bathroom, she asked Xiaocui and Ji Yuyao outside and said, "Where is Duan Chen?"
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, "I've been guarding the door all along, so I don't know about the young master."
Ji Yuyao spoke, "Madam, I just came from the hall, and the young master will receive three more adults."
"Three adults?" Su Ling asked puzzled.
Ji Yuyao nodded and said, "I heard them call them Lord Liu, Lord Qin."
Su Ling frowned and thought for a moment, before remembering that Jiang Duanchen seemed to have mentioned the names of several adults. She smiled with her eyebrows, it seemed that Jiang Duanchen had not guessed wrong, and those adults really regretted it.
A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Let's go, let's go to the hall."
Su Ling instructed Xiaocui to go to the kitchen and get some pastries and send them to the hall, while he took Ji Yuyao to the hall first.
When the two of them came to the hall, they happened to see the three adults begging Jiang Duanchen: "Lord Jiang, we were all stupid and offended you before, you don't care about the villain, please don't hold a grudge."
Liu Xi even grovelled and said, "Lord Jiang, don't be surprised that Liu has offended you before, and you came to my house as a guest that day, I ...... The reason why I chose the Third Highness is because I was forced to be helpless."
The three of them looked at Jiang Duanchen sitting on the chair without saying a word, and they were very worried. He was afraid that the next moment he would sweep them out of the house.
They didn't see Jiang Duanchen say a word after talking for a long time, so they immediately closed their mouths and waited for him to speak.
Seeing that they had finally quieted down, Jiang Duanchen slowly spoke, "Didn't the adults just want to get involved in the affairs of the palace before? Why are you coming to me and talking so much now?"
He lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at the three men with disdain.
The three of them could only smile awkwardly and said, "Before, we didn't understand it, and we didn't dare to offend people easily, you see, His Royal Highness is the queen's mother, and he is the eldest son, and His Royal Highness has so many people in the court to support it, we can't offend either side, so ...... So don't you just dare not come forward?"
"Oh? How dare you now?" Jiang Duanchen said with a sneer.
"Now you are the most powerful person in this court, and we will all have to rely on you in the future." Liu Xi looked at Liu Hanhong and Qin Sen and said.
The other two nodded their heads as well.
"Okay, you want to take refuge in me, right, then you have to be sincere." Jiang Duanchen had a chill in his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at a few of them in a daze.
"You say you say, whether it's gold or silver, whatever we have, we'll give it to you." Liu Xi gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Sen and Liu Hanhong also nodded and agreed.
Jiang Duanche smiled evilly and said, "Okay, then go out and hand over all the property in your name to me." c
After hearing this, the three of them instantly constricted their pupils, and looked at Jiang Duanchen in shock.
