There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Seeing this, Li Lingge shook his head.

"Take him back to Beijing, he will still be useful."

Hearing this, Zhang Daowen, who was hesitating whether to beg for mercy, finally felt relieved.

It seems that Li Lingge is still concerned about his status as the crown prince and dares not kill him.

Di Ying turned around and smashed the altar in the temple into pieces with one palm, and then started to make a fire.

She has to dry her clothes as soon as possible as she has to travel tomorrow.

Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that he must not look for a wife like this in the future.

Li Lingge ignored Zhang Daowen and sat back on the stone statue.

"I forgot to ask you just now, why did you come to Yanzhou from the capital?"

Xiao Yu helped Tie Xuan up and spoke a little embarrassedly.

"I've run out of money."

In order to protect his master's dignity, he would never tell anyone that his master had spent all his money in Hongxiu Tower.

Li Lingge nodded.

"You will lose your luck if you follow me. If you are willing, you can come back to the capital with me and I will introduce you to the academy."

He could vaguely sense that even if Xiao Yu's luck was not as good as Chu Feng's, it was definitely incomparable to ordinary people.

"Is it really possible?" Xiao Yu was a little overjoyed, "Master, the prince has agreed to let me enter the academy!"

After hearing these words, Tie Xuan barely recovered from Cui Bei's death, and he bowed and said.

"Thank you for your support, Your Majesty."

Li Lingge knew that it was difficult for the other party to accept that the idol he once revered died in front of him. He turned around and looked at Cui Bei's head placed at the door.

"When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt."

……

Zhang Daowen did not have a good time in the next few days.

He couldn't ride a horse, so Li Lingge specially arranged a carriage for him to ride.

However, he had to hold the wooden box containing Cui Bei's head.

Before arriving in the capital, the box had already begun to emit a faint stench of corpse.

The air in the entire carriage was filled with a strong stench, as if people were suffocating all the time.

There were even flies that flew into the carriage and buzzed around the box in his hands.

He couldn't even imagine that the box in his hand was now rotten.

Ouch!

Zhang Daowen lifted the car curtain and vomited out his lunch. He wiped the corners of his mouth and could not bear it any longer.

"just kill me!"

On the side, Li Lingge, who was riding a horse, shook his head.

"How can I bear to kill you? Your life is more valuable than you think. Be patient. We will soon reach the capital."

Before the sun set, the group of five entered the city gate of the capital.

Li Lingge did not go back home directly, but took the box from Zhang Daowen and gave instructions to Di Ying who was standing beside him.

"Take them back home first. I need to go to the Shen residence."

Di Ying glanced at the Lingxi sword on Li Lingge's waist, then turned around and left silently.

Ever since the sword appeared, it seemed as if there was no need for her to exist anymore.

……

Shen Mansion, reception room.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Shen Yike walked into the hall. "I wonder what brings you to the mansion?"

After sitting down, he kept looking at Li Lingge secretly.

Since Li Lingge came to visit, it means Cui Bei has already gotten the job done.

But why did Li Lingge come here first when Cui Bei hasn’t come back yet?

At the same time, Li Lingge was also looking at this veteran minister who had served three dynasties and was the father-in-law of the current emperor.

Although he is already in his sixties and looks a little thin, he is still in good spirits.

"Some time ago, I went to Yanzhou and brought some local specialties to give to Prime Minister Shen."

"Your Majesty is too kind."

Shen Yike glanced at the wooden box next to Li Lingge inconspicuously. As soon as he entered the door, he faintly smelled a foul odor.

The smell seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was exactly.

Li Lingge stood up, picked up the box, walked to Shen Yike, put the box on the table beside him, and slowly untied the white cloth on the outside.

As the white cloth was untied, the stench became stronger.

Shen Yike raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose. At this moment, he finally remembered what the smell was - the stench of a corpse!

Thinking of this, and looking at the size of the box, he had a bold guess in his mind.

However, Li Lingge, who had untied the white cloth, stepped aside.

"It would be better if Prime Minister Shen opened this surprise himself."

The butler at the side wanted to step forward and do it, but Shen Yike raised his hand to stop him.

"Well, I'd like to see what surprise the prince has prepared."

Shen Yike slowly stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the lid of the wooden box, but he felt that the lid was heavy.

Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still felt it was impossible.

He held his breath and yanked the lid open.

"what!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 55 Are you looking for trouble on purpose?

Even though Shen Yike was used to seeing big storms, he couldn't help but be shocked and lose his composure.

The human head in the box made him feel completely relieved.

A master of the first level!

Cui Bei claimed to be invincible below the Saint Realm, and he was invincible among those above the Saint Realm, but he died just like that?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"This is not true..."

Faced with Shen Yike's mumbling, Li Lingge was no longer polite.

"Minister Shen, do you know this person?"

The corner of Shen Yike's mouth twitched. He said he didn't know him. Is it possible?

In the entire capital city, everyone knows that Cui Bei is his henchman!

"Who is this person who killed my guards? Please tell me, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yike couldn't stand the smell that tasted like a dead rat and spoiled squid in soy sauce.

He waved his hand, signaling the butler to take the things away quickly.

However, Li Lingge stepped forward and closed the box, blocking the butler behind him.

"Minister Shen, it's inappropriate to take away the surprise without explaining the matter clearly, isn't it?"

Shen Yike walked a little further away and found a guest seat to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending the body of the guard in the palace. I will reward you generously."

Li Lingge took out the image-retaining bead and activated his true energy, projecting a huge beam of light into the air in the reception room.

Soon, Cui Bei's figure appeared on the light screen, along with his conversation with Li Lingge.

'Senior, what does this mean?'

'Do it yourself.'

"Just because I refused to cooperate with the prince in the trade of Vietnamese brocade and gauze, will the prince kill me?"

"You should know the consequences of rejecting the prince."

"Is this also what Shen Guozhang meant?"

"The prince's intention is the same as Prime Minister Shen's intention."

……

Shen Yike drooped his eyelids slightly and couldn't help but laugh.

"A good father will have a good son. The young are to be feared."

He sighed slightly, raised his eyes and asked.

"What does the prince want?"

With this human head and this magical bead, he knew that he was already in a passive position.

Not only did he fail to kill the person, but he also ended up with evidence against him.

Li Lingge had already thought about what he wanted, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing carrying Cui Bei's head.

"I heard that Prime Minister Shen has a nine-leaf snow lotus that can revive the dead."

Shen Yike's fingers trembled. This was the Nine-Leaf Snow Lotus that was targeting him.

That was a first-grade elixir, and he would keep it to prolong his life when his time came.

"Your Majesty, please do not believe in rumors. There is no such thing in the world."

Li Lingge leaned forward slightly and spoke word by word.

"I'm not negotiating with you, I'm giving you a chance."

"My Lord, I really don't have this."

Hearing this, Li Lingge said nothing more, tied the white cloth, picked up the wooden box and walked out.

Seeing that he was really leaving, Shen Yike became a little panicked.

"Your Highness, please stay... Li Lingge!"

Li Lingge stopped walking out of the reception room, turned to look at Shen Yike, and still said nothing.

Shen Yike was getting a little impatient.

"Where are you taking my guard's body, my Lord?"

Li Lingge let out a long sigh.

"Prime Minister Shen, I gave you a chance, but you were useless."

He raised his hands, holding the wooden box in one hand and the Liuying beads in the other, and continued.

“This is not just the corpse of Prime Minister Shen’s guard, but also the physical evidence that Prime Minister Shen and the Crown Prince conspired to send someone to rob and kill me!

If there is no one to speak on this matter, I will go and beat the drum to ask Your Majesty to make the decision."

"You——" Shen Yike was so angry that his beard trembled, "The prince is the crown prince, the future emperor!"

"Our dynasty governs the world with magic. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner!"

"Do you think His Majesty will really punish the Crown Prince for you?"

"If Your Majesty is partial, I don't believe that there will be no court officials to advise you."
