After the emperor finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and a carriage rushed towards him. The Queen Mother's urgent voice came out from the car: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Empress Dowager Gao received the news that the Gao family secretly sent people to the palace, and rushed out of the palace. As soon as she came over, she heard the old emperor's words. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly spoke.
When the old emperor saw the Queen Mother, he thought that the reason why he was in such a situation was all caused by the Queen Mother Gao. He looked at the Queen Mother Gao with a murderous look in his eyes.
Empress Dowager Gao felt chilled, but at this time she still dealt with the situation in front of her first.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Xiaoren, instructing him to pretend to be faint. The situation was not easy to deal with now, so he could only pretend to be faint and come up with plans later.
The emperor received the instructions from Empress Dowager Gao and stared at her coldly without making any move.
Empress Dowager Gao walked up to him impatiently and looked at him pleadingly.
Just as the old emperor was about to speak, the sound of eager horse hooves came from the street not far away. Soon, soldiers would surge down from their horses and head straight for the Criminal Department.
"Report, there is an avalanche in Wucheng, Qingzhou, causing numerous casualties. The prefect of Wucheng sent an urgent letter to Beijing, asking your Majesty to send people to Wucheng immediately for disaster relief."
As soon as the soldiers reported the report, there was an instant discussion in front of the criminal department: "The punishment from heaven has begun, disaster has struck, and our country, Yan, is in danger."
"Your Majesty, please declare your sin and ask God to forgive me."
Originally, everyone hated His Majesty because of the death of the eldest princess. Now when they suddenly heard the avalanche in Wucheng, they immediately believed that this was a punishment from heaven. They all became frightened and uneasy, and they all shouted to the old emperor:
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict."
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict."
Finally, there was a lot of shouting, and the old emperor subconsciously wanted to ask people to arrest these unruly people.
But when he glanced over, he saw a large, dark mass of people, and there were many people around who heard the noise and rushed over.
There were many people swarming on the street in front of the criminal department. Even if he wanted to stop people's mouths, he couldn't stop them. He couldn't catch them if he wanted to, and even if he wanted to kill them, it was impossible.
The old emperor's eyes darkened at the end and he fainted. This time he was not pretending to be faint as the Queen Mother said, but he actually fainted.
The Queen Mother immediately issued an order: "Someone is here to escort His Majesty into the palace."
Pei Yusheng and others stepped forward to help His Majesty and escorted His Majesty back to the palace.
Later, Pei Lin and others escorted the eldest princess back to her home.
The people in front of the Criminal Department all stood up to see each other off. There was a long queue with no end as far as the eye could see. More and more people knew what happened in front of the Criminal Department.
The crowd was at the back because the abbot and Zhennan Bo Fenglian City had been petrified. They knew without thinking that when the emperor reacted, they would be the first to be liquidated.
After the two people looked at each other, the abbot had an idea and ran away quickly.
Zhennan Bo Feng Liancheng also wanted to run away, but he thought of Concubine Feng and Prince Ming in the palace, so he didn't make up his mind. If he ran away, Prince Ming and Concubine Ming would definitely be in trouble.
Feng Liancheng suddenly aged more than ten years, becoming an old man.
On the carriage in Prince Jin's Mansion, Pei Lin and Feng Jing were both very sad, especially Pei Lin, who was particularly sad.
Although my great-aunt used to dislike her cousin because of his legs, in fact, she turned a blind eye to him most of the time.
As a result, she actually hit the pillar and died in front of him. If he had been strong enough and seized the throne early, she might not have died.
Pei Lin felt sad. He suddenly reached out and hugged Feng Jing on the side of the carriage, hugging her tightly and not letting go.
Feng Jing was shocked by this unexpected situation and forgot about her sadness for a moment. However, she felt the sadness in the heart of the man hugging her, so she did not push him away and stretched out her hand to pat his back.
Pei Lin has been without parents since he was a child. The eldest princess is a relative to him. He has few relatives to begin with. If one of them is gone, one of them will be missing. He will inevitably be sad.
"Actually, even if the eldest princess doesn't hit the pillar, her body won't be able to hold on for long."
"But her death was too tragic. If I had seized the throne early, she might not have had to die like this. As the noble eldest princess of the royal family, she should have enjoyed all the honors, but she died so miserably."
Pei Lin hugged Feng Jing tightly, and Feng Jing was a little painful from being strangled by him, so she couldn't help but move to get away.
Pei Lin hugged her tightly and never let go, murmuring: "Fengjing, please don't leave me. If you stay by my side, I will definitely treat you well."
Feng Jing's eyebrows were beating fast, how could she jump to this topic?
She raised her hand to push him away, but unfortunately the man was very strong and she couldn't push him away at all.
Feng Jing couldn't help but said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me go quickly."
Pei Lin ignored her at all, still holding her tightly and not letting go: "What will I do if you leave?"
Just thinking about that scene, he couldn't accept it.
He was used to not having Feng Jing around him before, but now he is used to having her around, and he simply cannot accept the thought of her leaving.
"I want you to be the Princess of Yanjin. How about I ask you to be the Queen of Yan in the future?"
Feng Jing listened to his talk becoming more and more incomprehensible, and pushed him away: "Okay, stop talking nonsense."
This time Pei Lin did not let go of the topic as usual, and stared at Feng Jing paranoidly: "Do you dislike me so much?"
Feng Jing saw him staring at her persistently, so she could only sit back and look at him and said: "Why did you let me be your princess? Because of my ability or because you like me?"
When it came to liking, Pei Lin felt uncomfortable. He was really not used to telling people about liking. He looked around and said, "Of course it's because you have this ability."
When Feng Jing heard this, her face darkened and she sneered, knowing that this must be the case.
"Oh, I helped you, but I helped you get into trouble. If it doesn't work for two years, you have to help for the rest of your life. Nothing is so cheap in this world."
Pei Lin looked up at Feng Jing in surprise: "Isn't it good for you to be Princess Jin? Why is it so troublesome?"
Feng Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Do you think I had a free day when I was Princess Jin? I was so exhausted every day."
Pei Lin thought about it and it was indeed like this, but weren't other princesses like this too?
"All other princesses are like this, and many women want to be princesses."
Fengjing crossed her arms and said with an uninterested look: "Then you can find someone who is willing to be your princess. I won't do it."
When Pei Lin heard what she said, he became angry and stretched out his hand to grab her: "Why is it inappropriate? It's not your fault. It's appropriate to do it inappropriately."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and hugged Feng Jing domineeringly.
Feng Jing almost died of anger. This guy went too far. He hugged her once but refused to give up, and then hugged her again.
"open."
"Don't let go," Pei Lin didn't like to get close to women like this in the past, but now that he is holding Feng Jing like this, he feels that his empty heart seems to be filled, and he will never let Feng Jing leave in the future.
