Chapter 257 His Majesty’s good intentions

Zhao Shun led a hundred imperial guards on horseback to protect Luan Jia.

"Linchuan!"

His Majesty called out, and Zhao Shun turned the horse's head around and came to the side of the Holy Driver.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Linchuan, today is your wedding day. You should go back to your home first. With the imperial guards guarding you, nothing will happen to me and the queen."

Zhao Shun held the reins and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "It is my duty to protect your majesty. I will never leave until you send your majesty back to the palace."

His Majesty sighed helplessly, "Didn't I explain everything to you?"

"I am stupid and did not understand your Majesty's intention. Please forgive me."

"You kid..."

Halfway through Luan Jia's journey, hundreds of swordsmen suddenly appeared and went directly towards His Majesty and the Queen to kill them.

"Escort!"

Zhao Shun shouted loudly and started fighting with the swordsmen.

Not long after, more than a hundred guards and soldiers rushed out of the alley on horseback and joined forces with the swordsmen to fight against the imperial guards.

"Zhao Linchuan! I heard that you, a pretty boy, have extraordinary martial arts skills? Then let me see what you are capable of." A black-faced strong man with a beard rode up to Zhao Shun on horseback.

Zhao Shun held a spear and pointed it at the person in front of him.

"Situ Fu, you are from King Yong, how dare you collude with the thieves when Luan Jia is returning to the palace!" Zhao Shun said.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Situ Fu looked up to the sky and laughed, "From now on, I am no longer a person of King Yong, but a person of the emperor!"

"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Today, I will take your head from your neck!" Zhao Shun said.

-

In Linyuan, although the fire has been controlled, it still shows no sign of weakening.

The second brother brought people from Shen's mansion to help, and the fire was completely extinguished.

"Second brother, do you have any news from outside?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"The person who rebelled is King Yong Zhao Ying, your Majesty's second prince. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured on the way back to the palace. It's more likely to happen than not." Shen Qingshi said.

Shen Qinglan walked a few steps to a secluded place and said again: "Your Majesty knew that there would be trouble today, but did not inform His Highness the Crown Prince to act with caution. It seems that His Majesty also gave up on this son. Just because the Crown Prince is not talented enough and can't manage well.

When it comes to government affairs... His Majesty is really cruel... No wonder, people say the emperor is ruthless."

"Sisi, be careful what you say!" Shen Qingshi reminded.

"Second brother, you said... His Majesty wants to abolish the throne, why don't you put it on the table?" Shen Qinglan asked in a low voice.

"The prince has no serious crimes. Although he has no talent for governing the country, he still has many supporters in the court. If he really wants to be deposed, it will also cause turmoil in the court. Taking advantage of this opportunity, not only can we eradicate the ambitious people, but also make Ping

The king gained the merit of protecting him. I thought about it later and realized that what you said last night was very reasonable. His Majesty must have known that he would die soon, otherwise he would not have made such a move." Shen Qingshi said.

"Hmm... Second brother, what do you mean, His Majesty will support Zhao Shun to be the regent, control the government, and support one of his princes in the future?" Shen Qinglan touched his chin, "Does Your Majesty trust Zhao Shun so much?

What if Zhao Shun has evil intentions and wants to replace him?"

"Based on your understanding of King Bin, is he this kind of person?" Shen Qingshi asked.

Shen Qinglan shook his head, "Based on my understanding of Zhao Shun, this man would rather support a king who believes in him forever and be a prince who seems idle but is actually powerful and wealthy, rather than trap himself in a big family.

In a cage.”

"Well, so your Majesty should think so too."

Shen Qingshi moved closer to Shen Qinglan and whispered: "Sisi, this is what I guess... His Majesty's headache is probably caused by poisoning, and the person who poisoned him is the prince of the dynasty!"

"ah?"

Shen Qinglan was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized this and nodded.

If not, there would always be something strange about Your Majesty doing this.

As long as His Majesty dies, the prince can naturally inherit the throne.

The prince was too impatient, so he poisoned his majesty.

Your Majesty knew that the prince was unfilial and had no talent for governing the country, but he was afraid that the court would be uneasy, so he did not directly depose him.

Since he was about to die anyway, he simply took this opportunity to deal with the prince, and also deal with those thieves who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne.

After His Majesty passes away, Zhao Shun, who has the merit of protecting him, will become a well-deserved regent with the support of the Queen and His Majesty's confidants, and then support other princes to ascend the throne for Your Majesty.

In this way, peace can be restored within and outside the court only after this period of time, otherwise it will have to go through many changes.

"Your Majesty, you really have good intentions." Shen Qinglan sighed.

"Now that the fire is out, you have done this to a newlywed lady, so you should go back to your room as soon as possible. I also want to go back to my house to inform the elders about the news." Shen Qingshi said.

"Second brother, please don't make the elders worry. Just say that nothing happened to me and I have been resting in my new house." Shen Qinglan said.

"Don't worry, my second brother knows what's going on."

Shen Qingshi smiled and left with the people in Shen's mansion.

"Princess, the fire has been saved, you should go back to the house and rest." Zhang Guanjia said.

"Steward Zhang, are there any casualties in the mansion?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"A few boys were burned, but the condition was not serious. Five others were stabbed by the thieves who came in, and two of them died," Zhang Guanjia said.

"Take care of the injured. There is chaos in the capital today. Let's go ask the doctor tomorrow. Tao Guan'er, who I brought with me, is quite skilled in medicine. He will help. As for those two people... find a place to park first and comfort them for the time being.

For their families, the prince and I will definitely prepare generous sums of money for their funerals in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

"Butler Zhang has worked hard today, and everyone has worked hard! Yan'er, prepare some silver. Everyone in the house will be rewarded today."

"Thank you, Princess!"

When they heard that there was still money to be received, everyone felt better.

Shen Qinglan returned to Jiahe Residence, and Fu'er said: "Miss, I don't know if the prince will come back tonight. Otherwise, I will boil hot water for you. You can rest after taking a bath."

"Well, prepare some more food. I believe everyone is hungry too."

After Shen Qinglan took a bath, she ate and drank enough and lay down on her new bed.

"What is this? It's killing me..."

She opened the quilt and realized there were so many things underneath.

Peanuts, longans, copper coins, chestnuts, lotus seeds, all kinds.

"Yan'er, please help me put away all these tent things. Zhao Shun will definitely not come back tonight. I'm alone, so it's better to sleep comfortably." Shen Qinglan said.

Yan'er sighed as she packed her things, "Miss, this marriage... is really shocking. It's so unsatisfactory. I will have to go to the temple a few more times in the future to burn more incense for the gods and Buddhas."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we are fine, why bother about that."
