Boss, she was forced to be the wife

At the same time, in the middle of the night, in the post house where the envoy lived, an envoy was killed by an assassin. The assassin's technique was clean and neat. After killing, he disappeared into the vast night.

Early the next morning, the Shanyu clan at the inn soon discovered the dead envoy. Although he was just an unimportant person, it was enough to make the Shanyu clan start a war.

Soon the matter reached the palace. At this time, Her Majesty the Queen was going to court, and many ministers in the court were standing below. They saw Wu Lun and everyone from the Shanyu clan coming in after passing through.<

/p>

Her Majesty the Queen has already known about this matter, and her face is naturally not good-looking. The first thing she did in the morning was to discuss the matter with all the ministers, but she did not expect that the Shanyu clan would come so quickly.

Watching Wu Lun lead everyone into the palace, and after giving a half-hearted salute to Her Majesty the Queen above, Wu Lun went straight to talk about the death of his subordinates.

p>

In fact, Her Majesty the Queen already knew about this matter late at night. As the head of a country, how could she be at ease with the foreign Shanyu clan?

Secret guards had been sent to watch in the dark, and the sneaky assassin held the person down after killing him.

In fact, the secret guard could have held the person down before the assassin entered, but the assassin was not the murderer, but an unknown person.

If the assassin had gone straight to Wu Lun, it would have saved Her Majesty the Queen a lot of energy.

After holding the assassin down, Her Majesty the Queen's men spent the night extracting a confession from him. At this time, several highly respected ministers in the court who were highly regarded by Her Majesty the Queen had already entered the palace late at night and found out about the matter.

Yu Ge was among them. Seeing what Wu Lun, the daughter of Shan Yu, was repeating, all the ministers looked shocked. In fact, with eyes and ears in all directions, these few knew what was going on.

The old fox took a quick look and saw that each one acted more exaggeratedly than the other.

After last night's interrogation, the assassin had already confessed the person above him. Her Majesty the Queen glanced at the courtiers with neither sadness nor joy, her eyes rested on the already confused Minister of War, and then she looked away.

The meaning of Wu Lun is very clear. Since the dead person is not an important person of the Shanyu clan, then this matter is not important.

It's just that she insisted that this matter was related to the harmony between Shanyu and Nanguo, and also said something like "the two countries are at war without killing each other", her poor Central Plains dialect paired with her angry look, everyone looked at it.

It makes me want to laugh.

Her Majesty the Queen also greeted everyone in the Shanyu clan in a routine manner, and promised to find the person who assassinated the envoy, and comforted Wu Lun.

Originally, Wu Lun came here to use this excuse to claim the long-separated land between Shanyu and Nanguo. However, Her Majesty the Queen was not an ordinary person after all, so she bypassed this matter in a few words.<

/p>

After sending away Wu Lun and his party, she went down to court. At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen's face completely collapsed and she said to Yu Ge who was following behind:

"Go and invite the Minister of War and his family in."

Yu Ge has never seen such a look on Her Majesty the Queen's face in these many years. She responded and hurriedly left the palace to invite people.

This time, Yuge personally led people to the home of the Minister of War, and almost all the Jinyi guards of Zhenfusi were dispatched.

I saw Yuge walking into the home of the Minister of War with the imperial edict. Before the guards at home could react, several excited guards in Jinyi held everyone down.

The Minister of War had just returned home when everyone from the Jinyi Guard came. He couldn't help but feel at a loss, but when he saw Yu Singzhong holding the imperial edict high and kneeling down in panic, Ruan Qingliu and her father came out.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard of the Minister of War had been brought out by the Jin Yiwei, including Ji Liang and Ji Chen.

Ji Chen has sharp eyes, and he saw Mo Luo standing behind him at a glance. Just as he was about to say hello happily, he was pushed by the Jin Yiwei in front and staggered forward.

Of course, Mo Luo also saw everyone, including Ji Chen. Ji Chen seemed to have lost some weight after not seeing him for a few days, but he was currently dealing with official business. Even if Ji Chen took the initiative to say hello to Mo Luo, he would not pay attention.

After everyone knelt down, Yu Ge opened the imperial edict and recited according to the words on the yellow silk:

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that Ruan Qingliu, the daughter of the Minister of War, is a virtuous and virtuous woman with outstanding literary talent. She is specially approved to serve in the palace and will set off today. I admire her."

This is a reward decree. Her Majesty the Queen has taken a fancy to Ruan Qingliu and wants her to enter the palace!

All the Jin Yiwei couldn't help but be shocked by the content of this imperial edict, just because what Lady Yuge did just now made people think that she wanted to raid the home of the Minister of War.

As a result, after the great war, a decree of grace was issued!

It's just that the people who received the order didn't look very good, especially Ruan Qingliu's father. He is the younger brother of Her Majesty the Queen. Naturally, he knew that it would not be a good thing for Her Majesty the Queen to summon her daughter to the palace at this time.

Although he was worried about everything in his heart, looking at Yuge's cold and frosty eyes, he still pressed his words to go together.

He knew very well that he had offended the Zhenfu Division due to the treason case, and even aroused the suspicion of Her Majesty the Queen. He had already used the late emperor's edict to save his life. If Qingliu caused any trouble again, there was really nothing he could do.<

/p>

And just when everyone was in a stalemate, they only heard a person beside them say:

"Sir, Miss Ruan needs someone to attend to you when she enters the palace. Why don't you take me with you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on the person who spoke. Jichen turned his head in surprise. The person who spoke was none other than Ji Liang.

"Brother, you are crazy..."

Ji Liang patted Ji Chen to stop him from saying anything, and then said firmly:

"I want to stay with Miss Ruan."

At this time, everyone had different expressions, and Yuge just raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Ji Liang. Without saying anything, he turned around and signaled Jin Yiwei to take Ruan Qingliu and a group of people and set off immediately.

"If my brother wants to go, then I will go too!"

When Jichen saw that Yuge had no objection, he naturally realized that this behavior was tacitly approved. He was worried about Jiliang's safety and couldn't help blurting out.

Although he had a quarrel with Kira before, he was still thinking about Kira in his heart. Naturally, he ignored Kira's dissuasion and followed him to the palace.

"What are you doing here?"

After setting off, no one paid attention to the brothers, so Kira warned:

"The palace is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. You'd better go back now before it's too late."

Jichen glanced at his brother with disapproval and said:

"Since that place is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, where are you going and what are you doing?"

Ji Liang looked at his younger brother with such firm eyes, indicating that he would not give up until he could find out the reason. Then he sighed and said:

"Qingliu, it seems that no matter what I do, I can't get into her heart."

Seeing his brother's distressed look that he had never seen before, Jichen couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, do you really like Sister Ruan?"

"My silly brother, you just know!"

Yoshihiro slapped Jichen on the head with a smile, and the original sad atmosphere was diluted a lot.

"But..."

Ji Chen didn't say the rest of the words. He had always felt that Ruan Qingliu was interested in Nangong Tou, but he didn't know if his brother also felt it...

Silently all the way, everyone escorted Ruan Qingliu into the palace smoothly, and then met Her Majesty the Queen without stopping.

At this time, everyone could only wait in the outer hall, and only Ruan Qingliu entered the inner hall.

At this time, Her Majesty the Queen was not reviewing the memorial, but was playing with a piece of jade repeatedly. She waited until Ruan Qingliu knelt in front of her and then said calmly:

"Ruan Qingliu, you are so brave!"

As soon as these words came out, no matter what the nature of the matter, the atmosphere changed in an instant.

Ruan Qingliu had never thought that when she saw the emperor saying this in a TV series before, she didn't take it seriously. She thought that just one sentence could make the people below so scared.

But after this matter fell on his head, Ruan Qingliu felt that as soon as Her Majesty the Queen's words came out, the atmosphere around him seemed to be frozen. Even the eyes of the superior with his head lowered looked extremely oppressive.

Keep yourself.

She only felt that her whole body was trembling involuntarily, and she could not make any sound.

It was not until an unknown amount of time passed that Her Majesty the Queen said slowly:

"The assassin who killed the Shanyu envoy was sent by you."

This is a declarative sentence, and in Ruan Qingliu's opinion, it condemns her to death.

Yes, it was true that the person who assassinated the envoy was sent by her, but she only followed the plot in the TV series. She never expected that the emperor would investigate him so easily, or even be pulled out for public execution.

At this time, outside the palace, Xiao Ran, Ji Liang and Ji Chen were kneeling together. They saw a sedan chair rushing by on the road outside the hall. The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the palace, and a man opened the curtain and walked out.

.

After looking at Jichen carefully, he pushed Jiliang and said:

"Is that Nangong Tou?"

Ji Chen's words were correct. The person who came at this time was indeed Nangong Tou. He was much thinner than before, but his whole person exuded a decisive aura.

"Nangong Tou, Ruan Qingliu has been brought inside! If you have the slightest feeling for her in your heart, go and save her!"

Ji Liang didn't care much at this time. He stood up in a hurry and ran in the direction of Nangong Tou, but was kicked over by the nanny who was following Nangong Tou:

"Where did the little hooves come from and there are no rules at all!"

Then he smiled at Nangong Tou and said:

"Prince Tou, come in quickly, Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for you!"

The smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and there was even a trace of sarcasm. Nangong Tou just glanced at the old woman and walked into the hall without speaking to outsiders.

When Ji Chen, who was frightened, saw that his brother was being bullied, he rushed to help him up. After repeatedly confirming that nothing was wrong, he said with tears in his eyes:

"The nuns in this palace are really cruel..."

When Nangong Tou entered the palace, what he saw was Ruan Qingliu kneeling on the ground with his whole body prostrated. Her Majesty the Queen's eyes moved as Nangong Tou came and then said:

"You're here."

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Before Her Majesty the Queen could say anything, Nangong Tou knelt down with a bang, and spoke to atone for her sins.

"Oh? What are you guilty of?"

Her Majesty the Queen's voice was lazy and changed into a different state at this time. It seemed that she was not asking questions, but just chatting.

But this simple sentence made Nangong break into a cold sweat. He knew that Her Majesty the Queen would become kind and cheerful when she was in an extremely bad mood, because there was no need to speak harshly to someone who was about to die.

It can be regarded as an act of accumulating virtue for yourself.

So Nangong Tou quickly said:

"I know I'm wrong. It's just that I and Ruan Qingliu are in love and really don't want to be separated from each other. I ask your Majesty to make it happen."

"Heh"

At this time, Her Majesty the Queen smiled coldly, and looked at the two of them with an even more stern expression:

"You two are in love, want to elope, assassinate the envoys, and ignore the Southern Kingdom. Nangong Tou, have you ever remembered Gu's teachings?"

The tea cup in front of Her Majesty the Queen fell squarely on Nangong Tou's head. The bright red blood flowed down Nangong Tou's forehead, and the hot tea splashed all over him, but he still did not dare to move.<

/p>

At this time, Ruan Qingliu saw Nangong Tou's appearance and wanted to step forward to wipe him, but stopped due to Her Majesty the Queen's burning eyes.

He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty the Queen, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. If...now...since I have offended the Shanyu...it is better to send people out to attack..."

Ruan Qingliu was obviously very nervous. He stuttered several times while saying a sentence, and he felt very guilty.

"Who is going? You?"

The Shanyu clan has occupied the north for many years, and has even grown significantly. It is not that the southern country does not have generals who can fight with it, and it is naturally not a problem for Yuge to lead it.

It's just that the Southern Kingdom still needs to send many generals and soldiers to guard the border. If one party is in chaos, the other parties will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, and then they will be attacked from both sides.

This is also the reason why these countries are not willing to fight easily. The Shanyu clan is different. They are a nomadic people. They live in no fixed place and do not need to guard any borders. They are also good at hunting and ambushes.

Both the Southern Kingdom and the Huangfu Kingdom suffered losses at the hands of Shan Yu. They were like loaches, unable to be caught or killed, which made people angry.

Now that there is a way to easily appease Shan Yu, Her Majesty the Queen naturally does not want to start a big war, and the actions of Ruan Qingliu and Nangong Tou have pushed this matter to the forefront of the situation from which there is no retreat.

If we compromise, Wu Lun will definitely go to a large city. If we don't compromise, then the battle is inevitable.

So under Her Majesty the Queen's sharp gaze, Ruan Qingliu felt that the blood all over his body was frozen, and he looked at Nangong Tou, who was giving him hints in his eyes, suggesting that he should not make a promise easily.

Ruan Qingliu gritted his teeth. He didn't know where a surge of cruelty and passion arose. He gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"I'll go, just I'll go!"
