Chapter 187 Guilt
While covering her eyes and crying, Mei Dai peeked at the situation in the house through her fingers.

After Emperor Yongde stabbed Queen Jing, he seemed to be stunned suddenly, just stood there holding the sword, like a clay sculpture.King Jing knelt on the ground, holding the blade of the sword on his chest with both hands, with disbelief in his eyes.

As if he suddenly understood something, he raised his finger and pointed at her behind Emperor Yongde, his lips moved a few times, and just as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out from his mouth, staining the front of his clothes red.

The sword stabbed by Emperor Yongde's anger only pierced Prince Jing's chest, and Prince Jing was not killed immediately.

He was struggling there, looking like he was trying to shake something out before dying.

That's not okay, don't let him talk anymore.

Mei Dai sat up and looked around, just now when Prince Jing rushed out of the door and tore off his clothes, she happened to fall down next to a table, and immediately picked up an empty bowl.

Prince Jing was pointing at her tremblingly, and said to Emperor Yongde with difficulty: "She...she fell into..."

After he said two words, a bowl flew over and hit King Jing's face, causing King Jing to lean back, and the blade of the sword was drawn out.

Mei Dai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She was about to open her mouth when Emperor Yongde angrily walked towards her with a bloody sword.Before she could react, Emperor Yongde had already grabbed her hair:
"You... you bitch, how dare you..."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty!" Mei Dai just cried for acting, but now she really cried in pain, "I am wronged..."

"What wrong!" Yongde Emperor gritted his teeth and stared at her, "How dare you have an affair with Prince Jing behind my back!"

Mei Dai knew that Emperor Yongde was in a rage now, and was completely dizzy with anger.Prince Jing is dead, her goal has been achieved, now Emperor Yongde must be calmed down.

She shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince Jing is old enough to be my grandfather, why should I have an affair with him?"

Emperor Yongde was taken aback, let go of his hand and said: "Yes, yes."

Mei Dai cried: "Your Majesty, when King Jing came to the capital, he first presented this concubine with a generous gift. Then he lied to my concubine that he was drinking with His Majesty here. I had no doubts about her and did not investigate carefully, so I directly Came here. Unexpectedly, after Prince Jing said a few words, he actually... actually..."

She was crying there with disheveled hair, Emperor Yongde put his sword aside, put his arm around her shoulder and said:
"My concubine, I was too impulsive just now."

Seeing that the situation has calmed down, Mei Dai immediately relieved a lot of the pressure in her heart, she simply leaned into Emperor Yongde's arms and burst into tears:
"Fortunately, His Majesty arrived in time. I didn't expect Prince Jing to be such a womanizer at such an advanced age!"

While comforting Mei Dai, Emperor Yongde called for someone to temporarily carry off Prince Jing's body.

While he was in a hurry, Shen Guogong and several ministers came here in a hurry when they learned that someone was killed here.When everyone saw King Jing's death, they all panicked.You push me, I push you, and in the end Shen Guogong came forward to meet Emperor Yongde.

When Emperor Yongde saw that everyone was coming, he first ordered Mei Dai to go to the inner room to rest.

"Your Majesty, what crime did Prince Jing commit?" Shen Guogong asked carefully.

"He molested my beloved concubine, and I missed it in a fit of anger." Emperor Yongde coughed.

He was also very remorseful.Just now I said not to be reckless, but I became impulsive again in a blink of an eye.

Calm down and think about it, it's too fake for a man of Prince Jing's age to come all the way to Beijing just to tease Concubine Xian.Besides, Prince Jing has lived most of his life, and has never had a reputation for being lecherous.

But Prince Jing went to Beijing privately and did not tell him.A generous gift was given to Mei Dai to see her, these things are also true.Whether he is lustful or not, maybe it is hidden very deeply, outsiders don't know that's all.

There are many doubts about this matter, if only I wasn't so impulsive just now.If you ask Prince Jing carefully, you will definitely understand the reason.Now that Prince Jing is dead, the only one who knows the truth is Mei Dai. Mei Dai said that Prince Jing molested her, but there is no third person present to prove it.

He was meditating, but Shen Guogong's flustered words interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for speaking bluntly. You have made a big mistake." Shen Guogong beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Prince Jing molested the concubine Xian. There is nothing wrong with you killing Prince Jing. But you have never thought about Jingzhou's army and horses? Xiao Kai, the son of Prince Jing He is rough and good at force. He knows that you killed his father, so he will definitely rebel!"

"what……"

Emperor Yongde's expression changed drastically, he took two steps back, and sat down on the chair.

"Jingzhou has been recruiting troops for the past few years, and it is rumored that there are already 20 troops," Shen Guogong spit, "Once the 20 troops come over, the world will be in chaos."

Emperor Yongde's face was pale, but the matter has come to this point, there is no room for change.

"According to Aiqing... what should I do?"

Shen Guogong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I dare not say it."

Emperor Yongde waved his hands and said: "There are only you and me here, but it's okay to say. My heart is in confusion now, and it's all because of Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing is not going to survive, but we can give you the news..." Shen Guogong lowered his palm and made a slow downward movement, "Suppress it."

"Suppress it?"

"Yes, suppress it." Shen Guo said fairly, "Non-poison is not a husband, and a small amount is not a gentleman. Jingzhou knows this, and it will definitely rebel. Let's do it first! Send a message to Jingzhou saying that His Majesty is entertaining Prince Jing , will return soon. In the dark...isn't Zhao Mu, the border general, stationed in Xiaogang Village, just in time for him to lead the troops to Xiliang..."

Emperor Yongde's eyes lit up: "Then, in the name of conquering Xirong, ask Xiao Kai to send troops to help, and take the opportunity to kill them?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Guogong nodded repeatedly, "As long as Xiao Kai is killed, Jingzhou will have no worries."

"No." Emperor Yongde had a happy face at first, and then shook his head, "If Xiao Kai is not fooled, he has an army of 20, and the sword of Yanque, Zhao Mu should not be his opponent."

To fight against the Jingzhou Army, the King of Qi is capable enough, but firstly, he is fighting against Beidi and cannot draw a shot, and secondly, the King of Qi will definitely not fight against the two tigers of the Jingzhou Army for him to watch.Or it's up to you to do it yourself.

Shen Guogong smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty, even if Zhao Mu is not Xiao Kai's opponent, there is someone who can cure Xiao Kai."

Emperor Yongde was startled and stood up abruptly: "Zhuo'er!"

Shen Guogong bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the crown prince Xiao Zhuo is good at fighting, and he will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If he can lead the army to attack Xiao Kai, he will triumph in a short time!"

With Xiao Zhuo fighting for Emperor Yongde, Emperor Yongde can just watch the show and never lose!
"But Xiao Zhuo used witchcraft to murder me... I abolished his crown prince," Emperor Yongde sighed annoyedly, and sat down slowly, "If I want to reply to his crown prince again, I'm afraid I will be ridiculed by the world .”

"Your Majesty, if you send troops to Jingzhou, your Majesty's dragon position may not be able to be kept, so what are you talking about?" Shen Guogong approached Emperor Yongde and lowered his voice, "About the art of witchcraft...Your Majesty can tell the world , Let’s say it’s a false accusation, and justify the name of His Highness the Crown Prince. At the same time, a secret decree was sent to His Highness the Crown Prince, ordering him to lead an army to attack Jingzhou. As long as Jingzhou is restored, he will be officially restored to the position of Crown Prince.”

Emperor Yongde originally had this intention, and it happened to coincide with Shen Guogong's idea.

He figured it out in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Shen Guogong, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is so dedicated, but is there any selfishness in it?"

Shen Guogong knelt down on the ground: "The whole heart of the old minister is for His Majesty's consideration. I just hope that His Majesty will remember the old minister's loyalty. If Jingzhou is recovered, will you be kind... and grant Jingzhou to the old minister?"

"Oh, it turns out that Aiqing also wants to seal the land." Emperor Yongde stretched out his hand and patted Shen Guogong on the back and said with a smile, "You solved a big trouble for me today, so I agreed to you."

He was referring to what Shen Guogong said about the fake and genuine product. What Shen Guogong understood was the killing of King Jing, and the two of them had different thoughts.

Shen Guogong was overjoyed when he got the promise from Emperor Yongde, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Lord Long En."

In terms of selfishness, Shen Guogong did have it.

The older a person is, the more he regrets the wrong things he did at the beginning, and he always has the idea of ​​atonement.

In order to protect himself, he sent his two granddaughters out, and now he regrets it.

Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo lived a wandering life without a fixed place, so they must be unhappy.And Shen Lan was abused by Prince Jing's son Xiao Kai, and wrote several private letters to ask the Duke's Mansion to take her back.Shen Guogong has no soldiers and no power, he is very afraid of Prince Jing, he dare not even let a fart go.

Now taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only can the granddaughter Shen Lan be rescued.And get the fief of Jingzhou.And if Xiao Zhuo can really return to the position of crown prince, then he can also get compensation for everything he did to his granddaughter Shen Yuexi. At that time, Shen Yuexi was the crown prince, the future queen.

In this way, he can at least make up for the guilt he felt towards his two granddaughters.

It's just a pity that he is too old, and he probably won't see the day when these things come true.
