Chapter 468 Death-Free Gold Medal
"Your Highness, the Princess has arrived!"
"Where is she?"
"The princess is currently in the palace, and moreover, her current identity is the monarch of the Qingwu Kingdom!"
Ling Chu glanced at the princess's expression and spoke cautiously.
"What did you say? She's actually the ruler of Qingwu Kingdom?"
The eldest princess was extremely shocked.
I thought Wei'er fled to Qingwu Kingdom to avoid trouble, but she actually became the ruler.
"Come, quickly follow me into the palace."
Harem.
Consort Ji carefully carried her bundle toward the palace gate. Just as she was about to cross the city wall and leave the palace, a tall and strong figure blocked her way.
"Consort Ji, are you leaving the palace?"
"You, Deputy Commander Lin?"
"Heh heh, it's me! You can't escape today."
Consort Ji frowned.
"Lin Li, now that the emperor is dead, Envoy Lu has taken over the palace."
"I am a former concubine of the previous dynasty, and I have no grudge against you. Why don't you be lenient and let me leave?"
"No injustice or enmity?"
Lin Li drew his sword.
"When my parents knelt down and begged you, did you give him a chance?"
"What do you mean?"
Consort Ji frowned.
"You haven't forgotten what happened in Fengling Village five years ago, have you?"
"You...who are you?"
Back then, Shen Bazhi told her that there was a traitor in her gang and asked her to lead a group to Fengling Village to arrest him.
Little did they know that the traitor had accomplices, and quite a few at that.
He led the entire village in rebellion against her, and because of this, she ordered the entire village to be killed.
"Who am I? I am Lin Guangyi's son, the one who will take your life today!"
Lin Li drew his sword, his dark eyes tinged with an eerie red.
He walked towards her step by step.
"No, Lin Li, listen to me. I was just following orders. The one who really wants to kill you is Shen Bazhi..."
Seeing Lin Li's bloodshot eyes, Consort Ji had nowhere left to retreat.
"Don't worry, I'll go find him after I've dealt with you!"
"No, Lin Li, you can't kill me..."
The seventh prince was led to the palace with trepidation.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has arrived."
"Sister, you said you wouldn't kill me, you wouldn't be breaking your promise, would you?"
Upon seeing Lu Hanting standing next to Wu Weiwei, the Seventh Prince retreated in fear.
"Hmph, if I really wanted to kill you, would I have waited until now?"
Seeing how terrified he was of him, Lu Hanting said disdainfully.
"Seventh Prince, come here! I mean what I say, I won't kill you!"
Seeing the Seventh Prince's behavior, Wu Weiwei thought of Qingzhu.
If Qingzhu were to wake up, would she end up like the Seventh Prince?
Thinking of this, Wu Weiwei sighed inwardly.
When she looked at the Seventh Prince again, her gaze was full of tenderness.
"Yes, I believe in my sister..."
The Seventh Prince walked happily to Wu Weiwei's side.
Seeing the Seventh Prince leaning close to Wu Weiwei, and seeing the gentle look in her eyes as she gazed at him, Lu Hanting's face darkened.
Wu Weiwei naturally noticed Lu Hanting's displeasure.
But what if he's unhappy?
She is no longer the lowly concubine she once was, and has no obligation to please him.
In this strange atmosphere, Ru Feng arrived in a hurry.
"Your Highness, I ordered my men to search the area, but we were unable to find Consort Ji..."
"Can't find it?"
Lu Hanting frowned.
It seems they knew about it beforehand and escaped!
Upon hearing that Consort Ji had escaped, the Empress looked at the stunned Seventh Prince, a smug glint in her eyes.
Wu Weiwei could easily see the Empress's smugness.
"Your Majesty, do you think I can't do anything to you just because there are no witnesses?"
"Wu Weiwei, it was the Seventh Prince, not me, who murdered the Emperor!"
Besides, do you really think that a single word from the Seventh Prince is enough to convict me of plotting against the Emperor?
Consort Ji has escaped, and now they have no evidence to prove that they murdered the Emperor.
But she had a hundred ways to prevent Lu Hanting from sitting on the throne.
"haha, really?"
Wu Weiwei looked at the person next to her who was tugging at her clothes.
"Seventh Prince, didn't you say that the Emperor gave you a secret edict a few days ago? Can you take it out?"
"A secret edict? Is it something like a small chimney?"
The seventh prince asked a question in his innocent and naive manner.
Upon hearing the Seventh Prince's description, Wu Weiwei immediately smiled.
"Yes, that's the kind of thing."
"Yes, yes, my father did give me a small chimney, and he told me not to take it out unless I was in danger..."
"Sister, do you want to watch it now?"
"Hmm, did you bring it?"
Wu Weiwei looked at him.
"I brought it, I brought it..."
As he spoke, the Seventh Prince took off his outer robe, revealing his outer trousers.
Wow, this is a bit too much for my eyes.
Seeing the Seventh Prince's utterly foolish behavior, Lu Hanting stepped aside to block Wu Weiwei's path.
Just as Wu Weiwei couldn't bear to look closely, she saw him take something out of the innermost pocket of his underwear.
"Sister, I've taken it out!"
Upon seeing what the Seventh Prince was holding, the Empress's face darkened.
That is?
Secret edict!
That old bastard emperor actually left a secret edict for this fool.
Everyone speculated about what the emperor had left for the seventh prince. Then the seventh prince opened the secret edict and loudly proclaimed: "By the mandate of Heaven, the emperor decrees: 'The seventh prince Chenghuai is filial and lovable, which greatly pleases me.'"
Considering his usual respectful and dutiful service to his parents and his loyalty to the country, he was specially granted a gold medal for pardoning death, in recognition of his benevolence and virtue.
This card can spare him from the death penalty once. It is hoped that the Seventh Prince will be more diligent, uphold his duties as a subject, and forever assist the royal family.
Admire this! "
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Duke of Chen suddenly changed.
So, it turns out the emperor had foreseen that they would harm the seventh prince?
So he was granted a pardon in advance...
Just then, Lin Li escorted a woman with disheveled hair into the main hall.
"Lin Li pays his respects to the monarch!"
Seeing the person he was holding captive, the Empress's face turned deathly pale.
"Lin Li, you, you are actually someone Wu Weiwei planted by my side?"
Seeing the regret in the Empress's eyes, Lin Li smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your guidance; otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have reached my current position!"
Looking at the concubine, who was on the verge of death from his torment, if he hadn't known that the monarch was looking for her, he would have sent her to meet the King of Hell long ago.
"Your Majesty, I have brought Consort Ji with me!"
At this moment, Lin Li didn't care that his identity had been revealed.
After all, the Great Wei is no longer the Great Wei it once was. Lin Li glanced at Wu Weiwei, wondering if the fate of the Great Wei would be rewritten.
"Lin Li, you did a great job!"
They thought Consort Ji had escaped the palace, but unexpectedly, she was caught by Lin Li.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the Empress nearly ground her teeth to powder.
Damn it, how could she not have thought of that?
The Empress glared at Wu Weiwei with resentment.
That cunning and wicked woman, she actually planted someone by her side.
