Heaven Scheme Palace

"How dare you!" Lv Ling Yu was furious, and immediately said: "Men, capture the Zhennan King who has spoken such outrageous words!"

"Who dares!" Jiang Zongyuan was also furious, his sharp eyes shot towards the guard who was about to capture him, "This king is the late emperor's personal, how can a woman like you take me down so easily!"

Seeing that the guards on both sides did not dare to step forward, Lv Ling Yu turned his gaze towards the silent Pei Sheng.

Only then did Pei Sheng slowly speak. "Listening to what the Zhennan King said, it seems that he wants to establish the Prince Chu as his own emperor."

"I don't dare. I'm just making the various attitudes expressed by Emperor Xian public for the officials to judge." Jiang Zongyuan still had some reservations when facing Pei Sheng.

"You want to judge? Then, as you wish, send him to the underworld to look for the late emperor. Pei Sheng's words were extremely cold, but they were spoken in a carefree manner, "Men, capture Zhennan King."

"Pei Sheng, you dare!" A few guards rushed forward and held him down. He struggled with all his might, "I still have a hundred thousand elite soldiers. If you dare to touch me, I'll fight you and splatter the entire imperial city with my blood!"

Lv Zhong Tian noticed that the situation was bad, he immediately stood up and was about to speak, but he was stopped by Lv Wen Hao.

Lv Zhong Tian looked at Lv Wen Hao with doubt in his eyes, seeing the indifference in his eyes, he shook his head, indicating that he should not act rashly.

Xuan Yuan Yu was even more confused as he looked at Lv Wen Hao. He did not understand why the Lu Family did not stand up right now. This was their last chance, if Xuan Yuan Jing was allowed to succeed the throne, they would not have another chance.

But Lv Wen Hao did not say a word from beginning to end, seeing that Jiang Zongyuan had been captured by the guards, the officials behind him did not dare to act rashly.

"A mere hundred thousand soldiers and horses dares to speak nonsense in front of me. Do you know that this general has three hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the capital alone?" Pei Sheng was as fierce as a falcon, with a fearsome sharpness.

Jiang Zongyuan saw that he was in a weaker position, but no one from Lu Family stood up for a long time. He was furious, and anxiously asked, "Lieutenant Lutai, do you have nothing to say?"

The corner of Lv Wen Hao's mouth curved into a faint smile, and he said calmly, "This subject greets the new emperor, long live my Emperor!"

Lv Wen Hao's loud shout shocked all of the officials present, and they all followed suit to pay their respects: "Greetings, new emperor. Our emperor greets you for life long live — —" His resounding voice spread across the entire Hall of the Heavens, and witnessed Xuan Yuan Jing legitimately becoming the new emperor of the Da Jin.

Yao Dan Qing turned her head to look at Xuan Yuan Jing who had ascended the throne. For a moment, there were many emotions in her heart, and she couldn't tell if she was feeling happy for him or angry at him.

The annihilation of the Yao Family was undoubtedly a sacrifice for Xuan Yuan Jing's ascension to the throne. This road to prosperity was only accomplished by stepping on the fresh blood of Yao Family people.

If his father was still alive, he might have supported the Prince Chu, relying on his father's military power to contend against Pei Sheng. With the support of his father, as well as the support of all the officials in the imperial court, how could it be so easy for Xuan Yuan Jing to become the Emperor of Zi Wei? Perhaps all of Xuan Yuan Hong Tao's plans and efforts had all gone down the drain.

Since the Xuan Yuan family had achieved such a beautiful feat, then for the more than a hundred innocent lives in Yao Family, who would ask for them?

Thinking to this point, Yao Dan Qing dejectedly retracted her gaze from his face, and tightly clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves, trying her best to suppress the churning in her heart.

On the way back to General's Estate, Yao Dan Qing and Pei Sheng sat in the carriage, looking at each other speechlessly.

In Yao Dan Qing's mind, the events of the past few days continued to float. In particular, tonight, when she had confronted Xuan Yuan Hong Tao in the Hall of the Heavens, he had faced it calmly, had even spoken with absolute confidence and justice, and had never regretted annihilating her clan's Yao Family until her death.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Chi Yuan reported to the outside in a low voice, "General, Madame has arrived."

Pei Sheng was the first to dismount, followed closely behind. However, when he jumped off the horse carriage, his legs went soft, and just as he was about to fall, Pei Sheng quickly supported her.

Yao Dan Qing only felt that her legs, which had been kneeling for the whole night, were a little weak.

Pei Sheng saw that her face was pale white, and that he was no longer able to walk, so he carried his and walked quickly towards the residence.

"What happened to Madame?" Zi Yu who had been waiting for Pei Sheng's return immediately went up and asked with concern when he saw Yao Dan Qing's expression.

"Hurry up and prepare some hot water and medicine wine." As Pei Sheng talked, his footsteps did not stop. He simply carried her into the house and carefully placed her on the bed. Then, he knelt down in front of her and lifted one of her legs to examine her knees.

"Does it hurt?" Pei Sheng raised his head and asked.

Yao Dan Qing shook her head. She had felt the pain before when she was near death's door, what did this matter count as?

"The hot water and the drop wine are here." Zi Yu carried the steaming hot water in, and the moment he saw Qingzi on her knees, she immediately knew what was going on, and immediately wrung out a handkerchief to warm her legs.

Pei Sheng then took the Falling Wine and personally applied it, and lightly kneaded along the way, using a very skilled technique.

Yao Dan Qing looked at Pei Sheng, who was bending his head and kneading her hands, and felt his heart throbbing. A powerful martial general, who was cold and emotionless towards everyone, was now kneeling in front of her and kneading her knees, not caring about his status at all.

Zi Yu looked at the atmosphere between the two of them being a little weird. After patching up Yao Dan Qing's knees, she immediately retreated.

"A Sheng." Yao Dan Qing suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?" After Pei Sheng finished rubbing one of her feet, he lifted her other foot and started to apply medicine.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to shout at you." Yao Dan Qing answered, and after a while, she could not help but call out again: "A Sheng."

Pei Sheng stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Yao Dan Qing, only to see her throwing herself into his embrace with all her might, her hands tightly grabbing onto his neck, her body trembling slightly, and sounds of her crying could be heard. At that moment, he could clearly feel her softness and sadness.

He held her back and caressed her back with his palms, but he asked nothing, just held her so quietly.

"Emperor admits that he was the one who single-handedly manipulated the Yao Family Family's extermination case. For the sake of's family's stability, in order to smoothly allow Xuan Yuan Jing to succeed the throne, he used more than a hundred innocent lives of the Yao Family to pave the way for his family's future … In Hall of the Heavens, he spoke in such a righteous tone, and he even wanted me to understand his painstaking efforts for Da Jin. But how could he be so cruel as to kill a subordinate who was loyal to him for his selfish desire? At this time, she only wanted to find someone to pour out the pain and hatred in his heart. "Looking at the cold-blooded and merciless him, I would like to kill him with a single slash to take revenge on the Yao Family. But looking at his near death state, I told myself, I can't kill him, I can't implicate Dan Feng, I can't implicate the entire General's Estate. "

"I know, you must be aware of this matter. Otherwise, before I go to Qingzhou to investigate, you won't tell me to stop investigating the case of Yao Family in the future. But, as long as the matter of the Yao Family's clan being exterminated has nothing to do with you, I will not blame you. You are a member of the Emperor, and you have your own reasons as well. Yao Dan Qing's tears had long drenched the clothes on his shoulders. Even though there was too much hatred in her heart, it was also rational.

Hearing her heartfelt words, Pei Sheng used a few more degrees of strength to hold her arms, as if he wanted to rub them deep into his bone marrow. "Xiao Qing, I'm sorry."

Yao Dan Qing leaned on his shoulder, silently shed tears, and no longer spoke.

At this moment, she only wanted to let out all the weakness and sorrow in her heart in front of him.

"Xuan Yuan Hong Tao is already dead. Can you let go of the hatred in your heart?" Pei Sheng whispered into her ear, and his words contained an undisputable pain in her heart.

"But, I'm not willing to accept this."

"The dead are done with, I do not wish for you to be imprisoned by hatred for your entire life. I hope that my wife will still be that pure and innocent Yao Dan Qing from back then. On the road in the future, you will no longer be alone because I am by your side, protecting you for the rest of your life. "

Yao Dan Qing heard his words, and the pain in her heart seemed to lessen. Pei Sheng was right, she should not live in hatred anymore since she still had Pei Sheng, and this was her home.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally let go and solemnly nodded. "Okay."

In the first day of August, sixteen years after Ming Jin, the late emperor Xuan Yuan Hong Tao's seventh son, Xuan Yuan Jing, ascended the throne and became the new emperor, changing the country's name to "He Jin".

The title of the birth mother Gu Shufei was given to the empress dowager, the first wife Pei Jin was given to the empress, and the mother was given to the whole world.

Su Yun was conferred with the title of Prime Minister and was the commander of a hundred officials.

He gave Pei Sheng the title of Great Sima Great General, and wielded great power in the entire world. His principal wife, Yao Dan Qing, was a first class.

In a short period of time, two major powers, the Lu Family and the Pei Family, worked hard. One of them controlled the entire country, while the other took control of the troops.
