"What?" Lian Yan Fu suddenly opened the tent and walked out. He even quickly followed with his spell. He only saw Zhang Jiao lying on the ground with black blood flowing out of his mouth.
The doctor made the diagnosis and said, "Marshal Yuan, this person died from poison."
This horn had been poisoned long ago, so it must have died at the right time.
"He must have planned to kill them to avoid leaving any clues behind." Lian Yanfu said coldly.
"Marshal, restrain him." Lian Meng said as he looked at the black and blue face of the man on the ground.
"No, Ah Ta, since he has committed a great sin, he must be punished regardless of his difficulties. He must not show any mercy. In the army, any pity is unnecessary.
So, even if this horn is dead, we cannot let it go so easily. We must chop off its head and hang it on the city wall as an example to serve our purpose. "
Lian Yan Fu immediately gave the order and cut off Zhang Jiao's head. It hung bloody on the intersection that all the soldiers would have to cross in order to intimidate the three armies.
Lian Fu stood not far away from the intersection. He silently looked at Zhang Jiao's head and clenched his fists.
Ever since Zhou Chengdi fell ill, he had not been able to recover. Occasionally, he would even be absent from the early dynasty. In the imperial court, there was no one who was not worried for the emperor's dragon body.
When the ninth prince, Feng Yunzheng, issued the "Deacon Order", it caused a huge reaction among the vassal lords. In the end, after considering it over and over again, the emperor decided to send Feng Yunzheng to the third margravine to supervise the implementation of the order.
After Emperor Zhou Cheng gave the imperial edict, he personally walked up to Feng Yunzheng, bent down and helped him up, and said, "Child, this trip will take at least a year and a half, and an extra two or three years. We also have to prevent the dissatisfaction of the three vassals, and take this opportunity to make things difficult for you.
Feng Yunzheng accepted the imperial edict without any additional expression on his face. He only replied, "This son obeys the imperial edict."
Walking out of the Hall of Rongyuan, Feng Yunzheng looked at the imperial edict in his hand. The Ministry of Government Song Qingyang stepped forward and bowed as he said, "This humble subject congratulates Ninth Prince. To carry out such a heavy responsibility for the execution of the imperial palace, this is a sign that a reserve will be established."
Feng Yunzheng did not say a word as he slowly walked forward. He seemed to be deep in thought as he listened to Song Qingyang's words.
"The crown prince has been crippled, the throne has been vacant for a year and a half, and many ministers have recently filed their reports, imploring the emperor to reinstate the crown prince." The crown prince has been crippled, the throne has been vacant for a year and a half, and many ministers have recently filed their reports, and have implored the emperor to re-establish the crown prince. The Ministry of Justice's Zhang Yingzhi also said.
"Your Highness, all sorts of vassal lords will surely express their goodwill on this trip. If so, I'm afraid that the way to offer my daughter to you is the most basic one. Your Highness, please …" Song Qingyang was aware that Feng Yunzheng had never been close to women and had only interacted with the first daughter of the first wife and the princess, so he reminded her.
When the silent Feng Yunzheng heard this, he stopped his steps and turned around to look at Song Qingyang. Song Qingyang froze for a moment, and he knew he had said the wrong thing.
Feng Yunzheng said, "This duke will be leaving in three days. I will have to leave the matters within the capital to everyone."
"Yes." The duo hurriedly bowed and said.
Feng Yunzheng hurriedly left the palace.
Song Qingyang looked at his retreating back and realized that his official's robe was drenched in sweat.
"You know that the Ninth Prince isn't someone who can get close to women," Zhang Yingguo said, patting him. "You know that the Ninth Prince isn't someone who can get close to women, except for that Rong He County Lord, when you give out such a rotten idea, you've seen your highness make a great contribution and the Emperor wants a free marriage. This is enough to show that the Ninth Prince isn't a person who can be merciful.
Song Qingyang wiped the sweat off his forehead and slapped himself twice. "This … this is something I forgot all of a sudden."
Zhang Xiaozhi sighed and said, "Such an unsightly woman, I don't know if it's good or bad for her."
Feng Yunzheng had arranged for Lianyue to come to the peach forest. Currently, the peach blossoms were falling. If the wind blew again, the peach blossoms would wither.
The two Dark Guards, Ye Feng and Leng Mei, were guarding outside the peach forest.
Feng Yunzheng and Lian Ruoyue walked side by side. The peach blossoms would fall from time to time, floating in Lian Ruoyue's hair. Feng Yunzheng reached out, plucked the peach blossoms, and with a blow, the flowers dispersed.
"I've heard that when ordinary princes go to the vassal lords to inspect their territories, they offer their beautiful daughters to the vassal lords. This is the basic etiquette." Lian Ruyue said in a mocking tone as she stopped under a peach tree and raised her hand to grab a peach blossom branch.
Feng Yunzheng did not say a word, his face only had a faint, barely noticeable smile.
Lian Ruyue looked up, "What are you laughing at?" she asked.
Feng Yunzheng walked forward and suddenly carried her in his arms. He was immediately frightened to the point that it was as if the moon itself jumped. They weren't married, and didn't even have a marriage ceremony. Wasn't this kind of intimate action too impolite?
"You, put me down." A rare look of distress appeared on her face. She had a cold personality after her rebirth, so she didn't like it when people came closer, but this Ninth Prince —
He hugged her.
However, Feng Yunzheng did not care. He placed her horizontally on the peach tree, letting the peach blossom cover her. Her expression became even more tender and beautiful.
He stood in front of her and said, "Don't worry."
Lian Ru Yue was startled and was somewhat at a loss for words. She, who was always eloquent, actually stuttered a bit. "I, I …"
Feng Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh. Raising his hand, his index finger lightly tapped her forehead as he said, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't let anyone get their hands on me? I'll remember it."
Lian Ru Yue's face instantly flushed red. It was as if his tone made him think that she belonged to him.
When Feng Yunzheng saw her blushing, charming and soft, making him unwilling to blink even once, his heart suddenly shook as he said, "Oh no, I want to refuse the decree."
"Reject the decree?" Lian Ruyue raised her eyes and looked at him in puzzlement.
"Yes, I want to disobey the decree and tell my royal father that I don't want to go to the Three Feudal Lords to urge them to give this Medallion of Gratitude." Feng Yunzheng raised her hand and caressed her cheek. Her skin was creamy, and her touch felt extremely good. She originally wanted to release it upon contact, but unexpectedly, she couldn't let go.
"Your Highness, don't joke around." Lian Ru Yue felt her cheeks heat up. Her body was throbbing with a strange, distant feeling. Not just her face, but her entire heart was burning.
"I am not joking. In this world, I am not the only person who understands Yue Er. Thus, the person who is worried is me." Feng Yunzheng's hand that was touching her face slightly slid down, and he carefully held her face in his palm, causing her eyes to meet his.
His movements were filled with pity and care, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. He whispered, "Yue Er, I really don't want to leave anymore. What should I do?"
