Chapter Ninety-Eight: King Ling Elects the Ruler

"There was a recent incident in Shangjing, which was related to the royal uproar, and I have heard a little about the villagers." Wen Yan suddenly opened his mouth and mentioned things in the outside world to Su Qian.

Su Qian cheered up, but with a hint of vigilance, he asked tentatively, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

"When the Empress of Zhaoguo was praying for blessings in Lingshan, she disappeared after encountering banditry, and there has been no news so far."

Wen Yan stared at Su Qian's reaction.

Su Qian's heart skipped a beat, and her eyebrows jumped slightly, but she quickly covered up the past, she showed a look of disbelief, and pretended to be surprised: "The queen is missing, how can it be?" ”

"The queen must be escorted by countless forbidden troops when she travels, and no matter how fierce the bandits are, they will not be."

After nearly a month, Su Qian finally heard the news about her, saying that it was fake if she was not excited and surprised, her green nails had left crescent-like blood marks on her palms, and she was pretending to be calm.

Wen Yan never mentioned anything about the outside world to her, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to ask, so as not to let him notice, and now that she said it coldly, she couldn't tell whether Wen Yan was intentionally tempting, or casually mentioning it casually.

So you have to be careful.

Wen Yan stared at Su Qian's face and continued quietly: "No, the poor queen died at a young age, although she claimed to be missing, the officials have already begun to prepare for the queen's funeral." ”

Queen's funeral.

These four words slammed into Su Qian's heart, her eyelashes trembled, and she pursed her lips and felt hesitant and at a loss for a while.

The Great Tyrant He ...... Did you give up on her?

She couldn't hide her gaffe.

Countless thoughts suddenly came to her mind, and she didn't even notice when Wen Yan approached her bed, until his slender figure enveloped her and dragged her hand hidden under the brocade quilt.

Su Qian relieved himself at this time, and looked at Wen Yan in disbelief, full of vigilance.

Wen Yan tugged on her wrist, broke her palm hard, looked at a few pale red crescent blood marks, lowered her head and blew gently, "Why are you so careless, your hands are injured." ”

"It hurt so much to change the dressing just now, I couldn't bear to pay attention to it for a while, and it didn't hurt a little."

Su Qian hurriedly explained two sentences, wanting to withdraw his hand.

But he was clenched tighter by Wen Yan, he looked at her condescendingly, and the expression in his eyes was obscure, "Is it really just because of the change of dressing?" ”

Su Qian looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Yes." ”

After Wen Yan looked at her for a long time, he let go of his hand without saying a word, but the bright red fingerprints still remained on Su Qianhao's wrist, which looked so abrupt.

Wen Yan said expressionlessly: "But I remember that when I rescued you from the foot of Lingshan, it was the night when the queen disappeared. ”

Su Qian lowered his eyes, and his mind had calmed down.

Wen Yan knew the news of the queen's disappearance early on, and it was the same night that she fell off the cliff and was rescued by him, he had already mentioned it once before, and this was brought up again.

It seems that she can't hide it anymore.

Su Qian said calmly: "Didn't I tell you that I am a palace maid." ”

Wen Yan chuckled, obviously he was not satisfied with the result of the identity of the palace maid, and asked in his tone, "I have also seen the palace maid of Zhaoguo, how can you be a palace maid with such beauty?" ”

Su Qian asked rhetorically, "Who is that son, and how did the villagers get into the Zhaoguo Palace?" ”

"I dare to say, do you dare to listen?"

In other words, Wen Yan dared to tell him his true identity, but could Su Qian listen to it?

"Childe's threat to kidnap a weak woman is really not done by a chivalrous person, Childe is not chivalrous, why was he willing to save me from the wolves at that time?"

Su Qian already has the intention of showing weakness, her life is in the hands of others, and she must not be hard-hitting.

Wen Yan was stunned, and the peach blossom eyes flashed with a little light, "Chivalrous heart? ”

It's the first time someone has praised him like this, it's really a novel word.

Wen Yan's laughter spread in Su Qian's ears, "Maybe I'm interested in seeing it." ”

His beautiful face bloomed in the early morning of winter, and he couldn't help but be amazed by the countless women he saw, he was never a good person, his hands were covered with blood, and his heart was as cold as ice.

Perhaps it was in the dark that his compassion moved.

Su Qian tilted his head to look at him, and his tone was extremely calm, "Childe didn't take advantage of others. ”

"Huh."

Wen Yan smiled dumbly.

Just when Su Qian was full of energy, racking his brains to think about how to deal with him.

But he suddenly pulled away.

Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief, her body softened, her back was already dripping with cold sweat, her heart was aching, the previous dynasty had prepared the queen's funeral, and she couldn't tell whether the news was true or false.

But she believed that with the nature of a great tyrant, she would only believe that she was dead until she saw her corpse.

But she is trapped here, struggling with how to get out of here, even if her injuries are healed, under Wen Yan's nose, she can't fly.

——

Jokhang Palace

Because of the disappearance of the empress, the emperor has not been in the early court for nearly a month, the government affairs are piled up, the ministers have a lot of complaints, the people are panicked, and the group is restless for a while.

Under the persuasion of the Prime Minister's Party, the emperor delegated power to King Ling, and King Ling temporarily supervised the country.

Today, on the first day, King Ling is in charge.

Jun Xiaoling has not entered the court for four years since he was separated, and he has been at a loss for a while when he returns to the court to deal with government affairs.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Ling, there has been no more snow in the northern region for half a month, and the ice disaster has gradually eased, and there is a trend of recovery."

"Back to His Royal Highness King Ling, the border army stationed in the east is approaching this year's winter clothes and annual allowance, but the treasury is empty, and most of it is used to relieve the ice disaster in the north, and it may be difficult to come up with this part of the military salary for a while."

"Back to His Royal Highness King Ling, the prince of Shenbi Kingdom will visit in half a month, for the sake of peace between the two countries."

……

Things were thrown at Jun Xiaoling one by one, he frowned tightly, it was difficult to choose for a while, but fortunately, with the assistance of the prime minister, some ordinary things could be dealt with properly.

But on top of the big thing, Jun Xiaoling didn't dare to make his own opinion, so he didn't press it for the time being, and then discussed it after presenting it to the imperial brother.

After the early dynasty, in the council hall.

Jun Xiaoling sat down to deal with government affairs, and was anxious when he heard the palace people coming.

"His Royal Highness King Ling, the prime minister is asking to see you outside."

"Ask him to come in."

Prime Minister Lin came with a steady pace, his back straight, and his old face revealed his old plan.

"The ministers see the ...... of King Ling's Palace"

Jun Xiaoling saw his uncle saluting, he quickly got up to stop him, "Uncle doesn't have to be polite. ”

Lin Ze still insisted on curtsimming, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "In the council hall, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. ”

Jun Xiaoling's hand stopped in mid-air stiffened, his expression became cold, and after he waved his hand and sent the palace people out of the palace, he corrected his uncle in a serious tone: "It is true that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, but this king is not a king. ”

Lin Ze got up, the ambition and desire in his eyes were no longer concealed at all, and he even said directly, "As long as His Highness wants to, everything is at your fingertips." ”

Behind Jun Xiaoling is the dragon chair coveted by everyone in the world, the core of the dynasty's power.

"Prime Minister!"

Jun Xiao Ling interrupted Lin Ze's words sharply, "Be careful! ”

He doesn't know how many times he has said it, the so-called throne rights are not what he wants, his only wish in this life is to be an idle prince, stay away from right and wrong, and only be a loving couple with his beloved in the fiefdom.

Lin Ze didn't bother with King Ling on this matter too much, but changed the conversation and said, "The minister of government affairs is worried that His Highness will hesitate, so he has come to assist His Highness. ”

Jun Xiaoling was having a headache about this matter, he looked at the pile of twists and turns as high as a hill, and faced his uncle who had always loved him, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This king doesn't dare to make a decision, for fear that he will make a mistake." ”

All the decisions made by Dazhao are in his hands, and he has never been exposed to these, so he will inevitably be timid.
