Chapter 116: Interrogation, Expressing Feelings
At the end of the previous dynasty, the government was corrupt, the officials were incompetent, and all kinds of heavy taxes were imposed, making life miserable for the people. The people complained bitterly. Emperor Taizu, as a man of the world, could not bear to see the people suffer, so he joined forces with several like-minded friends to rise up in uprising, overthrow the tyranny, and establish a new regime. In order to stabilize the political situation as soon as possible, Taizu lavishly rewarded his meritorious officials, and the old King Wei Yang was one of them.
After Taizu passed away, Taizong came to the throne. Although his ability was not as good as his father and he could not become a great king who expanded the territory, he was kind-hearted. He not only issued decrees to cultivate the people, but also treated meritorious officials well, making them willing to guard the border for the Li royal family wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, he did not live long and died after only a few years in office.
After Yingzong ascended the throne, he continued the policy of cultivating the people and was quite courteous to ministers who had made real contributions. However, at this time, many descendants of meritorious officials gradually became corrupt. Relying on the influence of their fathers, they committed evil everywhere, causing unrest in the imperial city. Yingzong was considered to be a man of courage and he carried out a series of drastic reforms. Many nobles were stripped of their titles, especially those kings of different surnames.
From then on, Prince Wei Yang became the only remaining prince of a different surname in the Tianqi Dynasty. The old prince and his three generations of ancestors had been stationed at the frontier and were loyal to the court. Emperor Yingzong was also very relieved and had never done anything against them. However, he did not expect that his son would actually harm Prince Wei Yang's Mansion in this way. This was not just a simple matter of not leaving them a way to survive, but to completely destroy their bloodline!
Even though he had already felt chilled to the bone, Wei Chengyi felt quite sad at this moment. If it was the Wei Yang Palace that broke the law first and had a rebellious heart, he would have nothing to say if the emperor did this, it would be a matter of winners and losers. However, from the beginning to the end, his Wei Yang Palace had not done anything to let down the Li royal family. The emperor was truly extremely vicious by doing this!
Turning her head to look at him, Shen Xiangwan reached out and held his hand. Since the dog emperor was not a human being, they would just destroy him. There was nothing to be sad about.
"Ok?"
Feeling her warmth, Wei Chengyi turned his head and his sight directly met her bright eyes. After they looked at each other deeply for a while, Wei Chengyi held her fingers tightly with his backhand: "I'm fine. I have no expectations of the emperor."
"Well, no matter what happens, I will face it with you."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan made a firm promise that she liked this man and would never leave him as long as he did not let her down.
"it is good."
Wei Chengyi tightened his hand around hers, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Now is not the time to talk about love. Shen Xiangwan turned around and continued to look at Chen Jianghai: "Are there any other accomplices of yours in the exile team? Who are they?"
"No, they are all dead."
In other words, it existed originally?
Shen Xiangwan sneered and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Did you poison the Wei family yesterday? Did you kill Shen Xiangping too?"
"Yes."
This time Chen Jianghe's answer was extremely concise.
"Why did you kill Shen Xiangping?"
"Because she saw me running from the kitchen to the backyard, and I was worried that you would track me down later, so I decided to just kill her."
really!
His answer undoubtedly confirmed her guess. Shen Xiangwan closed her eyes and repeatedly filtered everything in her mind. After a long while, she spoke again: "Who are you going to contact tonight?"
The reason why she chose to sit back and wait was because she guessed that he would contact his accomplices after failing in his mission.
As for why she knew that he had accomplices outside, it was very simple, because the poison he used this time was different from the last time. That kind of poison was colorless and odorless, and even she could hardly detect it. It was definitely impossible for it to be bought in an ordinary pharmacy. The only possibility was that he had accomplices outside and the poison was provided by them.
If the poisoning failed again, they would definitely take other measures. In this case, it would be imperative to inform the outside world. As it turned out, her guess was correct and she did catch him.
"The Dragon Shadow Guard following in secret." No matter what she asked, Chen Jianghai answered honestly like spilled beans, like a fool.
"Oh?"
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Xiangwan curled her lips and glanced at Wei Chengyi, then continued to ask: "How did you get in touch? As far as I know, the Dragon Shadow Guard who was following us secretly has been dealt with."
“They contacted me first.”
"is it?"
In that case, he is useless.
Shen Xiangwan stopped asking questions and stood up to knock him out again. Although she could have killed him directly, the death or disappearance of a escort was different from the death of an exile. The government would certainly search more carefully, and even if they found nothing, it would delay their journey. So she did not plan to kill him now. Once she was out of the city, she had plenty of ways to kill him quietly.
"We have dealt with those Dragon Shadow Guards outside."
Knowing that she should have guessed it, Wei Chengyi no longer concealed it and told the truth.
"So, Qingying was in a hurry before just to report to you about the Dragon Shadow Guards."
Shen Xiangwan seemed to be asking, but in fact she used an affirmative tone. From day to night, they were almost always together. They were only separated for a while when she went out to cook. In addition, Qingying was not normal at that time, so it was not difficult to guess.
"Ah."
Pulling her to sit down again, Wei Chengyi said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't hide it from you on purpose, it's just that you've been too tired recently, and I don't want to see you worrying about those things anymore. Besides, when their whereabouts are captured by us, they are destined to be dead, and they are not worthy of being your troubles. Wanwan, I love you, and only you."
This was the first time he expressed his feelings so bluntly. He had been moved when she protected his mother and others time and time again. Everything she did afterwards made him fall in love with her even more. In this life, he was only willing to open his heart to her and let her live in his heart.
"Fuck, you broke the rules again!"
Who the hell can resist such an affectionate look?
Shen Xiangwan cursed, stood up, spread her legs and sat on his lap, holding his face with both hands and said seriously: "Wei Chengyi, I am a very selfish person, and I have a mysophobia when it comes to relationships. I will not share my man with anyone. You should think it over carefully. If you really want me, then you can only have me in this life, otherwise..."
She did not continue to say the rest, but her slightly narrowed eyes reflected a hint of dangerous brilliance. If he dared to betray her, she would definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth, even if it meant dying together with him!
"No otherwise, I just like you, now and in the future."
Facing her gaze, Wei Chengyi said firmly that he had wandered in the human world as a ghost for too long in his previous life, and his heart had long been cold. It was Wanwan who warmed it, and for the rest of his life, it would only move for her.
"You're such a good bastard, um..."
Sweeping away her previous seriousness, Shen Xiangwan muttered something, suddenly leaned over, and her cherry-red lips pressed against his thin lips. Wei Chengyi was stunned reflexively, but then quickly reacted, holding her waist with one hand and holding up the back of her head with the other, not giving her a chance to leave, turning passivity into initiative, and fiercely deepening the kiss.
