Chapter 1,654

A seasoned general said bluntly to Princess Shao's envoy.

"If it is confirmed that the empress is dead now, let's help King Kang get his name right!"

"Before that, please forgive me for being helpless!"

What these generals said was true. No matter who killed Ling Yu, they would still recommend King Kang to take charge of state affairs because the country was in ruins and there would be no king!

In this way, even if Xiao Lintian comes back, they will do it for the good of Western Qin.

But if Ling Yu is away and helps Concubine Shao to seize the palace, she will be charged with conspiracy to usurp the throne!

I don’t know whether King Kang has the ability to compete with Xiao Lintian. Why should they tie their lives to his ship?

This is the price of a large family's blood, and a few generals can't afford it!

Seeing that the generals could not be persuaded, Princess Shao had no choice but to take her nephew Yan Feng to the palace in person.

She thought that she would seize the palace first, and when the news of Ling Yu's death came, she could immediately elect King Kang to manage state affairs in the name of a country that cannot live without a king for a day.

By winning the minister's heart step by step in this way, Xiao Lintian was ignored.

Who would have thought that Ling Yu's people were all gone, but he would make such a move!

Concubine Shao was angry for a while and then calmed down.

Anyway, news of Ling Yu's death will come soon. When Li Zhen doesn't open the palace gate, she can mobilize other generals to besiege Li Zhen.

Concubine Shao ordered people to stand ready at the entrance of the palace.

Here, Prince Cheng has received the news from Yu Hao. He was shocked and angry. He was extremely disappointed with Princess Shao and Prince Kang.

Western Qin is now facing provocations from Northern Wei and Eastern Qi, and is facing a national disaster.

As a member of the royal family, King Kang did not think about how to help relieve the crisis, but took advantage of people's crisis to start civil strife. Is this something human beings do?

Prince Cheng decisively sent people to defend the clan mansion. If Zhao Ruirui and Princess Shao dared to come to rescue King Kang, they would be killed without mercy.

Prince Cheng was also worried that Concubine Shao would send people to intercept Ling Yu, so he personally led the team to greet her.

With the close cooperation of everyone, Ling Yu was safely sent to the imperial capital.

Prince Cheng escorted Ling Yu into the palace, and met Concubine Shao blocking the entrance to the palace.

Concubine Shao didn't know whether Ling Yu was dead or not.

Zhao Ruirui sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that even if Ling Yu could survive for a while and a half, she would not live for long, and that Concubine Shao must follow her into the palace to witness Ling Yu's death so that they could respond in time.

"Send my wife in first!"

Prince Cheng stopped Concubine Shao from following her and shouted seriously: "Concubine Shao, you are also an old man in the palace and once took charge of the harem!"

"Don't you know that it is a serious crime to come back privately without obeying the imperial edict?"

Concubine Shao had already thought of a countermeasure, and she knelt down with a bang, bursting into tears.

"Prince Cheng, how could I not know that it is a grave sin to return to the capital without obeying the imperial edict? But when I hear that the emperor is personally conducting the expedition, how can I rest assured?"

"I thought that I could recite sutras and pray for the Empress Dowager anywhere, but when I return to the palace, if the queen needs my help, I can do my best to help in time!"

"Prince Cheng, the Emperor and the Immortal have gone, and the Empress Dowager is also heading west. I regard your empress and the Emperor as my own children. When they are in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch!"

"I also asked Prince Cheng to allow my concubine to stay and take care of my empress and serve me in the Western Qin Dynasty. When the emperor comes back, even if I am punished for the crime of coming back privately without obeying the imperial edict, I will never complain!"
