After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 95 Defeat
At this time, a soldier came in and bowed, "Your Highness, Ji Dutong has not been found yet."

Prince Qing's expression suddenly changed. "How can a living person disappear out of thin air?"

"Hurry and find it for me!"

"Yes!"

Mrs. Zhong secretly squeezed her daughter-in-law's hand, and Rong Peilan understood.

Ji Yunzhang was the commander-in-chief of the palace guards. If he had not been caught, he would still have a chance of survival.

Prince Qing looked at the Xinling Marquis' family, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "Madam Marquis, you probably don't know yet, but the Marquis has died on the battlefield for his country."

Hearing this, Zhong's body shook and her face turned pale instantly.

Rong Peilan took her hand and squeezed it twice without leaving any trace.

Then Mrs. Zhong looked over and saw the shape of her daughter-in-law's lips: beans.

She reacted instantly and realized that the Marquis had already sent her information in advance and a secret letter in advance to inform her that he was safe and sound.

Zhong calmed herself down and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense! You are disturbing the ministers! The Marquis is fighting the enemy outside, but Your Highness is plotting to usurp the throne in the imperial city. Everyone in the world despises you!"

Prince Qing was not angry. "Although the Marquis is dead, he has made great contributions. He killed foreign enemies and I pacified the internal strife. After I support the new emperor to ascend the throne, I will give my wife the title of Lady Protector of the Nation."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and an old woman was pushed out from the side of the hall.

He turned his head slowly and said, "Whose mother is this? She is extremely old and cannot enjoy her old age in peace. She was forced to come here. I think as a son, you will not bear to see your mother suffer."

A middle-aged official sitting in the middle stood up tremblingly. From the court robes he was wearing, it could be seen that he was a third-rank official.

His voice trembled slightly. "Bullying women and children, is this how you threaten us?"

At this time, Prince Qing stopped talking. He frowned slightly and just made a light "tut" sound.

The soldiers behind the old lady raised their swords and slashed, and the old woman's head and hands were separated. She didn't even have time to make an expression of pain on her face.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and the women and children on both sides, who had never seen such blood, screamed.

The timid ones even fainted on the spot.

"you you--"

The middle-aged official suddenly covered his chest with his hands, his face full of pain, and after a moment, he fell backwards.

Immediately, officers and soldiers came forward to check, "Your Highness, he is dead."

Prince Qing frowned in disgust, "What a useless old thing."

The officers and soldiers quickly carried the bodies of the two men out, and Prince Qing continued to speak.

"He who knows the current situation is a hero, and he will be rewarded with high positions, generous salaries, and wealth. I believe that you all know what is the most correct choice."

Xie Shuning, who was standing with other officials' families, felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

There had been no palace coup in her previous life. The crown prince died of illness in the second year after she married into the marquis's mansion. Except for the pure and simple Prince Sheng, the fourth and sixth princes, who were slightly older, all died of smallpox.

Finally, the four-year-old seventh prince was named crown prince. Two years later, the six-year-old seventh prince ascended the throne as emperor.

Kang Jintang and Rong Peilan officially embarked on the road to success.

In this life, for some reason it happened so long earlier, even the crown prince didn’t die, but His Majesty died first.

But she could also see clearly that no matter how the wheel of this life rolled, just like the previous life, the Kang family would enter its final glory, and she, Xie Shuning, would be the most glorious first-rank lady beside Kang Jintang.

After Prince Qing's speech, the officials in the middle did not move, but Xie Shuning took the initiative to stand up.

Her voice was clear and everyone in the store could hear it clearly.

"Your Highness, I don't know how to govern a country, but I know that a country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

"The Crown Prince has committed a heinous crime, Prince Sheng has been practicing asceticism for decades, and the Seventh Prince's biological mother is the Imperial Concubine. She is an excellent candidate in terms of both birth and character."

These words touched the heart of Prince Qing, and his smile deepened as he handed the Seventh Prince to the palace attendant beside him. "Great! Whose wife is this? She has a good opinion!"

Xie Shuning couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "My husband is Hanlin Kang Jintang!"

Prince Qing clapped his hands, "So she is from Lord Kang's family! No wonder! In the future, a first-rank imperial decree will definitely be conferred on Madam Kang!"

As he said this, he walked down the steps and personally helped Kang Jintang up. "Master Kang's family tradition has really opened my eyes today!"

"Since Lord Kang is so talented, he will be appointed as the Junior Tutor! From now on, the Seventh Prince's lessons will be handed over to Lord Kang!"

With a tall hat on his head, Kang Jintang was forced to sit on a stool at the side.

Xie Shuning stood happily behind Kang Jintang. No matter how the process developed, the ending was still moving in the same direction.

Kang Jintang did not have as good an attitude as her. He could not help wiping the sweat from his forehead. Once he left the palace today, the label of a traitor on him would never be washed away.

Prince Qing walked around the officials on the ground twice and said, "My patience is running out."

He pointed at the old, weak, women and children on both sides and said, "If you gentlemen want to force me to massacre the Qinzheng Palace, you may try it!"

He said with a strange smile, "Why not just kill them all and then select again? I don't have much else in Daqi, but I have a lot of people."

All the officials on the earth had pale faces, including their wives and children, as well as their elderly husbands and mothers. Just a word from them could buy back their chance of survival.

At this time.

Rong Peilan discovered that a floor tile was slowly being moved away behind a column in the corner of the hall.

Ji Yunzhang, whom they couldn't find no matter how hard they tried, jumped up nimbly, with Wei Chi and Tang Xiao behind him.

Prince Qing was still looking at the ugly appearance of the officials with satisfaction.

Just when he was about to turn his head and look away unconsciously, Rong Peilan held her big belly and screamed anxiously.

"my stomach!"

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Mrs. Zhong was startled. She supported her nervously and asked, "Lan'er, were you in a hurry just now?"

Rong Peilan pinched her thigh hard, and tears burst out from the corners of her eyes.

Prince Qing frowned impatiently, "Get her out. Whoever wants to prevent the new emperor from ascending the throne today——"

"Which new emperor ascends the throne?"

A familiar voice interrupted him.

Prince Qing looked up and saw that the person who had already died on the bed on the high platform was now sitting up with a ruddy complexion.

His eyes widened, "You, you——"

His Majesty lifted the quilt and stood up, his dark red undergarment was empty.

He sneered, "Why, Prince Qing is very disappointed?"

The corners of Prince Qing's lips trembled, and before he could make any move, a dozen imperial guards suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushed to the platform together, and blocked His Majesty tightly.

More than a dozen guards took out bows and arrows from behind their backs in unison, put arrows on them, and pulled the bows, all in one go.

Suddenly, the official in the middle and his family members beside him scattered.

Prince Qing looked at these dozen people, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Brother, do you want to rely on these dozen people to survive?"

His Majesty sighed twice and said, "Royal brother, it is never too late to turn back."

Prince Qing laughed arrogantly twice, "Turning back is the shore? Where is the shore!"
