Chapter 193 Since You Can’t Escape, Then Fight Your Way Out of This Dark World

Zhou Xian.

The man behind the scenes who was determined by Qin Luan to be closely related to the Qin family case and whose whereabouts have not been found so far.

Previously, Shen Qing had read Zhou Xian's case file that Lu Yan asked Meng Guanlan to find from the Ministry of Justice. The case file recorded: After the Qin family was confiscated, Zhou Xian and all his servants were exiled to the bitter cold of northern Xinjiang. However, Zhou Xian died on the way.

Because of the cold wind.

Northern Xinjiang is remote and has a harsh climate. It is a normal thing for a few prisoners to die during exile. However, Qin Luan insisted that this was just a cover-up, a way for people behind the scenes to get out of trouble, so he kept making people suffer. Looking for Zhou Xian's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, Shen Qing found him unexpectedly.

Seeing the familiar name "Zhou Xian", Lu Yan frowned slightly, "I remember you asked me for a case before, and it was this Zhou Xian, and now he appears at the scene of the fifth prince's assassination..."

The conspiracy is self-evident.

The corners of Shen Qing's lips slowly raised, "Yes, it seems that there is a force in Shengjing that is constantly clearing the roadblocks. The Minister of Qin whose house was confiscated ten years ago is the fifth prince who is now favored. yes."

Lu Yan chuckled, "And we will also become the targets of purge soon."

If Lu Yan wants to detoxify, he must find Luo Hui, and if he wants to find Luo Hui, he must confront the Thousand Poison Sect, and the Thousand Poison Sect is the sharpest knife in the hands of that force.

This is an endless loop.

Lu Yan and Shen Qin could not avoid it.

After blowing the fire note and watching the note in his hand burn to ashes, Shen Qing's eyes were cold, "Since you can't escape, then fight to create a clear tomorrow."

If they are destined to be involved in this struggle for imperial power, then they might as well be willing to get involved and control life and death in their own hands with the chips in their hands.

…

At the same time, somewhere in Shengjing.

The woman in rich brocade clothes looked at the subordinate reporting in front of her, and her voice became lower and lower, "The death of the fifth prince is still unknown, but now you tell me that not only Fu Ling is dead, but even Zhou Xian was arrested, what the hell are you doing?" How did you do it?”

Feeling the increasingly obvious anger in the woman's words, the subordinate quickly knelt down and said, "Sect Master, I'm sorry, things were going very smoothly, but a force suddenly appeared from nowhere and took aim. Poria cocos protector allowed the fifth prince to escape by chance, but he had fallen off the cliff and his chance of survival was extremely small. "

The woman paused for a moment, "What they are looking for is not Poria...but me."

This time, Poria used her identity to attack Chu Lingyuan.

"Fu Ling's martial arts and poison skills are not low. How could he be cornered so easily? Do you know which force it is?"

The subordinate shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but they seem to have special detoxification pills in their hands. The Poria Protector's poison has little effect on them."

"Oh, I'd better come prepared and go and find out which force is looking for my whereabouts. There are also five princes who are bound to see people alive or dead, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Master, I will send someone to investigate right away."

After saying that, the subordinate hesitated and said: "Sect Master, Protector Bai Ji asked me to tell you that Elder Yun Cheng has been in a bad mood recently and has killed many disciples in the sect."

The woman frowned, "Why is he so crazy?"

"I heard that Master was killed and there was nowhere to vent..."

Hearing this, the woman sneered coldly: "Trash! Go back and tell Yun Cheng that I won't stop him if he wants to take revenge, but if he dares to act wild in the door again, I will destroy his hands."

After saying that, the woman turned and left. Just two steps away, she turned around and warned: "Shengjing is not peaceful these days. If there is nothing extremely urgent, don't come to me. Let Baiji make the decision."

"Master, put it down. This subordinate will go back and report to Protector Bai Ji."

…

The results of the emperor's punishment of Yanglinghou and his son were reported to the Yininghou Mansion in the evening.

Lu Yan, who was already preparing to go back home, stayed after hearing the news. Obviously, he wanted to hear the news of the misfortune of Yanglinghou Mansion as soon as possible.

According to the news from Qin Luan, Yanglinghou and his son entered the palace at noon and did not return until almost dinner time.

What Mu Ziqian had done in the morning had reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered Mu Ziqian to leave Shengjing within three days and not to set foot in Shengjing again for the rest of his life. He also severely reprimanded Marquis Yangling. For more than half an hour, he was told to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and that he would not have to go to court again in the future and could just meditate on his mistakes at home.

Both of them had expressions of remorse, but now that the matter was over, they did not dare to question the emperor any more, and could only leave the imperial study room in despair.

At this point, Yanglinghou Mansion has completely withdrawn from the circle of power in Shengjing, and Yanglinghou has become an empty name.

This result was exactly what Lu Yan had expected.

Shen Tingli was not surprised, and sighed: "From now on, Shengjing will return to the situation where the three princes coexist."

After finishing his words, he looked at Lu Yan again, "By the way, there is also a young prince like you who is about to ascend to the throne."

Lu Yan smiled and explained the progress to Shen Qing, "A few days ago, my father came to the palace to talk to His Majesty about this matter. Your Majesty has already agreed. It is estimated that by the end of this month, I will be crowned king. When we get married, you will become Princess Jing'an, all the princes and concubines in the palace have to look down upon you, how are you? "

The corners of Shen Qing's lips raised slightly, and she suddenly remembered the time when she stood up for Shen Suyu at the Queen's Flower Appreciation Banquet but was embarrassed by Concubine Shu. From now on, the identities will be reversed.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing's smile became more obvious, and his voice became much lighter, "How can I not be happy? My status has jumped several levels. No one will dare to be arrogant in front of me in the future."

Lu Yan smiled, "Then let's go out to celebrate?"

Shen Qing bent his lips and agreed happily, "Let's go."

Although the Qiqiao Festival has passed, the bustle of the streets has not diminished at all. The beautiful river lanterns are swimming with the water one after another, which is very beautiful.

Lu Yan first took Shen Qing to Linjiang Tower for dinner. Shen Qing also asked about Tan Ji and Zhou Xian in detail. After learning that Zhou Xian would be sent to Shengjing tomorrow, the two went out and walked towards the lively street market.

Seeing Shen Qing and Lu Yan leaving side by side, Mo Wuchen felt itchy and suggested to Lingyi: "Sister Lingyi, it's so lively outside, why don't we go out for a walk too?"

Lingyi didn't even look at him and turned to go upstairs.

Mo Wuchen trotted over, "If Sister Lingyi doesn't like shopping, we can play games, like the gambling game we played yesterday."

Lingyi paused and asked in surprise, "Do you still have money?"

Mo Wuchen nodded quickly and took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his arms, "Yes, my uncle heard that I have a girl I like, and gave me another ten thousand taels of silver notes yesterday."

Lingyi's mouth curled up, "Okay, don't cry if you lose."

Mo Wuchen looked satisfied, "Sister Lingyi, don't worry, I'm super rich. If I lose everything, I'll go to my cousin's private vault to get some more treasures to pawn."

As he said that, the second money-giving boy followed Lingyi upstairs with excitement, waiting to be slaughtered with full expectation.
