READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 42 Attack
After a long time, the empress said slowly.
"Wei Aiqing, after all, you are the commander-in-chief and the highest throne of the Longmen Guards. You'd better not get too close to these people from all walks of life..."
Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The empress' words seemed like a rebuke, but in fact she had no intention of settling a score with him.
After all, the duty of Longmen Guards is to monitor Jianghu. How could such an organization not be involved in Jianghu forces?
There is no harm in secretly supporting a few useful chess pieces, but these chess pieces must not be allowed to do things in the name of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has done all this for Your Majesty. If His Majesty wants the power of Baiyun Sect, Wei Chen is willing to give it to His Majesty and let His Majesty do as he pleases."
After receiving Wei Qi's assurance, the empress' face looked better.
"In this case, Wei Aiqing should step aside first. The Prime Minister is ill, and I will go and see him personally."
"Yes!"
The corners of Wei Qi's lips raised slightly, and he was secretly happy. It seemed that he was planning to take action against Shen Yuan.
Let you be arrogant. Now that the Empress Posheng has come out of seclusion, I will see how Shen Yuan will respond.
Youruo, who received Wen Yuanji's letter, frowned.
In the past few days, she has been taking medicinal baths to recover from her injuries. Although her injuries have improved, they have not yet completely healed.
Unexpectedly, the empress actually came out of seclusion and came to see her master.
If it weren't for Wen Yuanji's message, they wouldn't even know that the empress would pay a sudden visit.
"Miss You, what should we do now?"
Shen Jian and Shen Dao asked.
Youruo frowned: "The empress has been trying to seduce me for a long time. Now she is visiting. It is a lie to visit her, but it is true to find out the truth."
"Let the head of the family see her?"
Shen Jian and Shen Dao didn't know about Shen Yuan's retreat. Shen Yuan only told You Ruo about this matter, so they said this.
Since Shen Yuan didn't want to be exposed, You Ruo naturally wouldn't say anything more.
"No, due to special reasons, the master is not in the Shen family now."
"Then what should we do?" Shen Jian said, "If the empress arrives and cannot see the master of the family, she must be using it as an excuse."
"No matter what, it can take a while..."
Just when a few people were thinking hard about countermeasures, there was a sound outside the door.
"The empress is here!"
So fast?
A few people had no time to react and hurried to greet him.
For a moment, the senior officials of the Shen family also hurried forward to greet the empress, kneeling down and saluting.
"Get back on your feet," the empress said leisurely, "I heard that the Prime Minister is busy with state affairs and sleeps long and hard at night, so that he is ill, so I came here to see him."
Everyone in the Shen family didn't know that Shen Yuan was in seclusion. When they heard that the empress wanted to see Shen Yuan, they quickly gave instructions.
"You Ruo, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the head of the family to see His Majesty!"
You Ruo knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the master of the house is seriously ill. Your Majesty has a noble body, so it is best not to have any contact with him."
"That's easy to say." The empress sneered, "I brought the imperial doctor to Shen Aiqing just to deal with the Prime Minister's illness."
After saying this, an imperial doctor behind the empress also hurriedly bowed to everyone in the Shen family.
The elders of the Shen family all smiled like chrysanthemums. They thought the empress really cared about Shen Yuan's health.
"Your Majesty is really thoughtful. I look forward to thanking you for your kindness!"
At this time, the empress was looking at You Ruo with a speculative look.
Is this Shen Yuan's right-hand man according to Anzi's intelligence? At this age, it is indeed good to be able to achieve the spiritual cultivation level. No wonder he is favored by Shen Yuan.
But compared with me, who has the inheritance of the imperial body and the blessing of phoenix blood, I am just the light of a firefly after all.
I have already broken through the Saint, but she is only in the small Fusion Spirit Realm.
After all, the light of a rotting firefly cannot compete with the brightness of my bright moon.
Youruo also noticed the empress's eyes sizing her up, but she only dared to lower her head and did not dare to make any mistakes.
With his right hand, he slightly clenched the ring on his left index finger.
With the owner's green seal screen ring, she shouldn't be aware of her demonic nature, right?
At this time, the empress also withdrew her gaze and said impatiently.
"What's wrong? Still not leading the way?"
Youruo had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the empress there.
Behind them, Shen Jian and Shen Dao were also anxious, but there was nothing they could do. Naturally, they knew that the head of the family was not in the room at this time.
If the empress could not see the master of the family at this time, how could she give up?
Thinking of this, the palms of both men even broke into cold sweat.
When the door of the room was opened, there was no one inside. Looking at Kong Tata's bed, the empress' tone gradually became cold.
"What? Isn't the Prime Minister sick? Why isn't he lying on the bed to rest? Huh?"
You Ruo and others quickly knelt down.
"Slave... I don't know..."
"I don't know? Do you really don't know?"
The empress grabbed Youruo's hair, "Aren't you the Prime Minister's most capable subordinate? The Prime Minister will tell you no matter what he does, right? Do you really not know where the Prime Minister has gone?"
Youruo's eyes were firm.
"The servant does not know..."
"Hmph! Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?! You clearly told me that the Prime Minister was ill, but why didn't I see anyone else when I came here?"
Since Youruo is Shen Yuan's most loyal subordinate, it would be great to be able to find any excuse to get rid of him.
It just so happened that she was just a slave, so if she was killed, she would be killed.
It should be noted that in the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land! On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers!
"Come here, this slave who deceives the king and ignores his superiors should be put to death immediately."
Youruo gritted her teeth, but she couldn't resist, because the woman in front of her was the empress of the dynasty!
If he resists, the entire Shen family will be implicated!
And all this is just because she is the empress!
At this moment, a strong sense of unwillingness welled up in Youruo's heart.
Why? Why can't I be...
He looked at the empress with resentful eyes, but the empress just sneered.
"I like the look in your eyes very much, angry and incompetent."
Immediately, the empress's guards grabbed You Ruo and prepared to drag her away.
Shen Jian and Shen Dao quickly knelt in front of the empress.
"Your Majesty, have mercy."
The empress looked thoughtfully at Shen Jian and Shen Dao who were kneeling in front of her. It seemed that apart from Youruo, these two guys were the only ones who were highly regarded by Shen Yuan, right?
That's fine, just get rid of these two people together.
"Youruo deceives you, how dare you two plead for mercy? Come, capture them both, and execute them immediately."
Shen Jian and Shen Dao looked at each other in confusion. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the royal guards and prepared to be dragged away.
And when those Shen parents saw this scene, how could they dare to say anything?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see right away that the Empress is using these three guys to establish her power in front of Shen Yuan!
She wanted to tell Shen Yuan that she was now a saint, and Shen Yuan no longer had the capital to be arrogant in front of her!
Benedict!
Benedict!
Benedict!
The sound of crutches hitting the ground was heard, and the empress followed the sound. Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Yuan? !
