Chapter 198 The False Accuser

Shen Yuexi sat upright, her eyes swept over the man kneeling on the ground in front of her.

The man's shoulders were injured, his hands were tied behind his back, and his head was bowed.

Today, she had made an appointment to go out with Xiao Zhuo to relax, but Xiao Zhuo received a notice from the scouts temporarily, so she didn't go with her. She was bored, so she asked Li Wan out again.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, these people suddenly attacked.They rushed forward with weapons in hand, not for money at all, but for their lives.Fortunately, Qiang Lin and the dark guard gave up their lives to protect each other, otherwise she would be killed by these assassins.

The assassins failed to attack, and immediately fled in all directions, and only caught one wounded person, which was the person in front of him.

I don't know where these people came from, whether they are assassins sent by Xiao Beiheng.She was fine, but it made Li Wan cry in fright, and when she returned to the mansion, she was the one who dragged Li Wan into the house with all her strength.

"Who is instigating you, tell me immediately." She stared at the leading assassin among them.

The man kept his mouth shut tightly without saying a word.

Qiang Lin said from the side: "Master, they ambushed on the way, they obviously know our travel plan. If we don't torture them strictly, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out who is behind the scenes."

Shen Yuexi nodded in agreement, and said, "I'm just asking."

She turned her head to the assassin again and said, "Will you tell me or not, or I will be angry if you don't."

The assassin remained silent, completely ignoring her words.

Qiang Lin brought his fists to his mouth, coughed, and said, "Master, your words are a little...gentle, this is not the way to interrogate. Please pass it on to your subordinates. Some of your hidden guards are good at torture. "

Shen Yuexi was right when she thought about it, she is not suitable for it, it is better to let professionals do it.

She nodded and said, "Don't hurt him, there will be no evidence of death."

"Don't worry, if you hurt him, the master will take the subordinates to blame," Qiang Lin waved to a hidden guard next to him, "drag him to the next room and let him speak up."

The dark guard took the order, and called two more people, dragged the assassin into the next room, and closed the door.

Shen Yuexi listened attentively, and there were continuous screams that didn't sound like human voices from the next door.Half an hour later, the dark guard opened the door and came out, turned his head and said: "Okay, drag it out."

Two hidden guards held the assassin out without touching his feet. The assassin looked up and saw Shen Yuexi, and shouted repeatedly: "I say, I say!"

Shen Yuexi saw that there was no injury on his face and body, and his hands and feet were intact. She was quite surprised what the gang of hidden guards did.But this is not an important matter, so he said to the assassin: "Who sent you here."

"It's Zhang Song from Qianhu. He sent someone to assassinate you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback and asked, "But it's true?"

The assassin repeatedly said: "It's true, as long as I don't let these people torture me again, the villain is willing to confront Zhang Song face to face."

Shen Yuexi said to Qiang Lin: "Put this assassin down first, watch carefully, don't let him run away. Then send someone to find Zhang Song."

Qiang Lin obeyed orders.She sat in the room thinking.

Zhang Song is from a thousand households in the Xiliang Army, and he and Mei Pu went to Langya Pass to rescue her and Xiao Zhuo.Now Zhang Song actually wants to harm her and Xiao Zhuo.Could it be that everyone in Xiliang didn't want Xiao Zhuo to take over?
If that's the case, this matter can't be exposed.They were still under the protection of the Xiliang Army, if they turned against each other, they would be seeking their own death.

While thinking, Qiang Lin hurried back and said to her: "Master, Zhang Song has disappeared."

Shen Yuexi was speechless, this Zhang Song ran so fast.It seems that he knows that his subordinates have been arrested and will confess him sooner or later.

At this time, Qiu Liming and Song Zhen, who learned that Shen Yuexi was attacked, also arrived, and Shen Yuexi told them the situation.

She was worried that there were people like Zhang Song in the Xiliang Army.

Song Zhen said: "Mistress, don't worry. Even if there are such people, with the will of the King of Xiliang, they would not dare to act rashly. Zhang Song is a general, and he does not think about things. Since he escaped instead of asking for help, it means He has no background support, but his own ideas, we must not speak out, so as not to cause discord."

Qiu Liming agreed: "Mother, what the military adviser said is true. The last general planned to send more people to protect him."

Song Zhendao: "We live here as guests, and the lord is in command of the Xiliang Army. Your arrangement is also the arrangement of the Xiliang Army. These sergeant Mei Shizi can be taken back at any time. Don't trust them too much."

After appeasing Shen Yuexi, the two left the mansion to arrange military affairs.

Shen Yuexi planned to visit Li Wan.This trip frightened Li Wan quite a bit, after all she was the one who called him out.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu coming back together, accompanied by many servants, carrying various gifts.

Shen Yuexi quickly lowered her head and straightened her dress, with a smile on her face, she greeted the two of them.

It is rare for the husband to look happy, it seems that this is a gift from Mei Shizi.The king of Xiliang gave so much before, but Mei Pu actually gave it again. It's so polite.

"Husband, Mei Shizi." She smiled and greeted the two of them.

Maple still wore a mask on his face and wore a filial piety dress.After saying hello to Shen Yuexi, she turned and walked to the room where Mrs. Li and Li Wan were.

The servants carrying gifts behind him also turned the corner after him.

Shen Yuexi originally planned to say, "Let's put the gift in that room first."It turned out that the gift was not for her, but for Mrs. Li and Li Wan.

Fortunately, I didn't open my mouth, otherwise where would I put my face.

Looking back at Xiao Zhuo, she became angry.

The man was uncharacteristically smiling.It made her almost misunderstand Maple, but now she still dares to laugh.

"Husband, you are very happy." She rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo didn't say much, walked directly to her, bent over to hug her, picked her up sideways, and turned around a few times on the spot.

Shen Yuexi felt that the whole courtyard turned around in front of her eyes.

"Stop, stop!" She yelled, while grabbing Xiao Zhuo's shirt on his chest, "If you turn around again, I'll spit on you!"

When she realized it, she and Xiao Zhuo had already arrived in the bedroom.When Xiao Zhuo put her down, she still felt dizzy.

Xiao Zhuo took out a volume of documents from his bosom: "Here."

"What is this?" Shen Yuexi took it over and opened it, and couldn't help crying out in surprise, "It's the imperial decree of Emperor Yongde!"

The essence of the imperial decree is that Emperor Yongde believed the slander by mistake, and now it has been found out that the person who placed witchcraft and other things in the East Palace to frame Xiao Zhuo was the same person who falsely accused Xiao Zhuo.Emperor Yongde regretted it too much, and wanted to restore Xiao Zhuo's position as Prince, but he couldn't do it without reason.In view of the conspiracy of the Jingzhou army to rebel, the chief villain, King Jing, has been put to death in the capital.Xiao Zhuo is now enshrined as King Zhao, leading [-] troops to fight against the rebels in Jingzhou.When Jingzhou is pacified, he will be the prince again.

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand why Xiao Zhuo was so happy.

She put the imperial decree on the table, put her hands around Xiao Zhuo's neck, and said with a smile: "Husband, that's great! The emperor has rehabilitated you."

"Well," Xiao Zhuo also hugged her and said, "The grievances on me have been cleared up, and the queen mother can also rest in peace."

"But you are asked to lead [-] soldiers, where did you get [-]?"

"The border commander Zhao Mu's [-] Yan troops in Xiaogang Village are heading here and will arrive soon." Xiao Zhuo laughed.

"Ah, what about Xiao Beiheng? No one is blocking him, will he follow?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "It doesn't matter. No one is your husband's opponent. The only one who can defeat me is myself."

Shen Yuexi originally wanted to say why are you bragging?But thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhuo really has the confidence to say this.He has never lost a battle, he is invincible.

"Does anyone else know about this?"

"The first person I thought of was you, and I didn't even tell Maple."

With Xiao Zhuo's stability and restraint, it was the first time for Shen Yuexi to see him so happy, and he was the first to think of sharing this happiness with himself.

"By the way, the person who framed you... was in a hurry just now." Shen Yuexi turned around and wanted to get the imperial edict.

Xiao Zhuo pressed her hand and said: "Don't look any further, it's not Mei Dai, it's Concubine De."
