Chapter 593: Carrying the coffin home
"stop."
The smile on Fu Xuege's face disappeared instantly.
"Did I let you go?"
Lu Hanyang was blocked by a palace servant and turned around with a cold expression.
"What else do you want, Your Majesty?"
Fu Xuege walked towards the other party slowly and stopped beside Lu Hanyang.
"Lord Lu, I admire your abilities very much. I wonder... are you willing to work for me?"
Hearing this, Lu Hanyang frowned and pursed his thin lips: “I don’t understand what your Majesty is saying.”
"As the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, I am paid by the emperor and I am loyal to him. I am only fulfilling my duties."
Fu Xuege glanced sideways, his eyes were slightly cold, and his aura became heavy. He didn't say anything, but he gave people an invisible pressure.
Faced with such pressure, Lu Hanyang remained as steady as a rock, with no change in his expression.
Soon, the coldness disappeared instantly.
The man's charming laughter came: "Master Lu, why are you so serious? I just want to test Master Lu's loyalty to His Majesty."
"It seems that Lord Lu is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Your Majesty is truly blessed to have such a wise minister."
Lu Hanyang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am too humble to praise you. I don't deserve it."
Fu Xuege seemed to find the person in front of him boring and waved his sleeves lazily.
"I am tired, Lord Lu, please step down."
"I resign!"
Lu Hanyang frowned, bowed and stepped back.
Watching the other person's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Fu Xuege withdrew his gaze, the smile in his eyes froze, and his face turned cold.
The palace servant beside him said at the right time: "Master, this man is too ungrateful. Do you want me to..."
The palace servant made a throat-cutting gesture, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Fu Xuege raised his hand slightly, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "This person is extremely intelligent and quick-witted. If we can't win him over, we should not offend him easily, lest he see through our plan."
The subordinate hesitated: "But if we keep him, will it be..."
"So be careful in the future and don't let anyone notice us."
"Yes!"
Fu Xuege's gaze fell on the magnificent palace wall not far away. Her eyes narrowed slightly and her soft voice became low and cold.
"How is Murong Jing doing?" "It is a foregone conclusion that the Right Prime Minister is plotting rebellion. The Empress has ordered his execution in three days."
Fu Xuege's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Murong Jing has been smart all her life, but she never thought that she would end up like this, right?"
The subordinate considered and said, "Master, there is one thing I don't understand."
"We don't need to tell King Beichen about the matter of Servant Yan, so why are you still helping him secretly?"
Fu Xuege's eyes shone with a dark light as he said coldly, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
The subordinate shuddered all over at that look and dropped his head.
"Yes."
-
Three days later, the entire family of the Right Prime Minister was executed and all their property was confiscated.
All males were executed, all women were sent to the Jiaofangsi, and the rest of those implicated were exiled thousands of miles away.
The empress was unhappy because Yan Shijun was concerned about King Beichen, but she did not dare to take any action because she was afraid of King Beichen.
Later, someone from the Divine Doctor Valley came and asked to take away Yan Shijun's body. Due to the status of the Divine Doctor Valley, the empress agreed to it.
On the day when the coffin was being escorted back home, Di Ran and Ji Yunxie came to see Yan Chen off for the last day.
"You don't need to see me off, Prince Beichen. Go back."
He used to call me my nephew, but now he calls me King Beichen. The distance between them is extremely far.
Di Ran knew that because of Yan Chen's matter, the Divine Doctor Valley still had a rift with her. She had expected this.
"This is the letter that my master asked me to pass on to you."
The second disciple of the old master of the Divine Doctor Valley handed a letter to Di Ran. Di Ran took the letter without opening it, but just asked a question.
"Is the old valley master okay?"
"My master was shocked when he heard about Young Valley Master's incident and has been bedridden."
"Before leaving, my master told me to bring back the remains of the young master, and also asked me to give you this letter."
Di Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand for a long time without saying a word.
"King Beichen, I'm leaving now."
The people from the Divine Doctor Valley left, and took Xiao Ke with them.
