Chapter 440 Late Night Farewell
Late at night, outside the imperial city.

"Shut up!"

A carriage was moving fast, and the driver was actually Number One who was supposed to be in the space. He did not stop the carriage until he was dozens of miles away from the imperial city, and then he parked it steadily on the dark official road.

"Well···"

Inside the carriage, Shen Xiangwan waved her hand and inserted two silver needles into the bodies of the two unconscious people. They were none other than the deposed Crown Prince Li Yunhong and his wife Qiao Yanran.

"Husband, husband?"

"Yanran?"

The couple woke up slowly, and when they saw each other, they could not help being shocked. They both reached out to grab each other. Qiao Yanran's eyes were red and tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never dreamed that she would have the chance to see her husband again. After her husband left that day, she returned to the mansion, dispersed all the servants, and prepared to end her life with a three-foot white silk, but... what was going on?

The couple seemed to have thought of the same question and finally realized that there were other people around. When they turned their heads and saw Wei Chengyi and his wife, they were stunned reflexively. Shen Xiangwan was fine, but they knew Wei Chengyi and his wife.

"Cheng Yi? What's going on?"

After calming down a little, Li Yunhong took his wife's hand and looked at Wei Chengyi. Did he want to let them go?
"You shouldn't be buried with the Li royal family. Go away, stay far away, and hide your identity with your sister-in-law. Don't show up again."

Knowing that he had guessed his purpose, Wei Chengyi met his eyes and said in a deep voice that when they were young, he and his elder brother had not yet gone to the battlefield. At that time, they were close friends with Li Yunhong. He vowed to be a good emperor loved by all the people in the future, and they also said that they would follow him, fight for him in the south and the north, and guard the four directions. Today, things have changed and they are no longer the same as they used to be. This is the only thing he can do for him as a good friend.

Holding his wife's hand tightly, Li Yunhong said hoarsely, "Aren't you afraid that I will secretly rebel as a prince of the former dynasty?"

The reason why the new dynasty was established and all the royal family members of the previous dynasty had to be killed was because they were afraid that they would use their status to secretly cause trouble and bring chaos to the country that had been pacified with great difficulty. What's more, Li Yunhong was once the crown prince and the eldest son of the king of the previous dynasty who lost his country. He loved the people like his own children and had been sincerely supported by the people.

No new emperor would tolerate Li Yunhong to continue living, let alone let him go personally.

"you will not!"

Looking at him deeply, Wei Chengyi said in a decisive tone that if he continued to provoke a war, he would not be Li Yunhong.

"Yeah, I can't."

Li Yunhong laughed. It was enough for him to have a good friend who understood him so well in this life!
"Li Yunhong is dead. From now on, I will take my mother's surname, Ye, and change my name to Ye Yunhong. Chengyi, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see each other again in this life. As I said before, treat the people well. I will watch you become a wise ruler among the people."

After a moment, Li Yunhong raised his head again, there was a little more relief in his eyes and his smile became more genuine. At this moment, he had really let it go completely.

"Ah."

Wei Chengyi didn't make any fancy promises, but just nodded. Shen Xiangwan, who had remained silent, took out a bundle and handed it to them: "There are some banknotes and medicines I made myself in it, which you should be able to use." "Thank you."

Li Yunhong did not refuse. He took the bag and handed it to Qiao Yanran.

"Cherish it all the way!"

Finally, Wei Chengyi clasped his fists and gave another warning, then took Shen Xiangwan by the hand and left the carriage. Before getting off the carriage, Shen Xiangwan suddenly turned around and said, "Sister-in-law's pregnancy is a little unstable, Brother Hong should pay more attention to it and don't miss the chance to have a child."

"what?"

Li Yunhong turned his head and looked at his wife in disbelief. The latter nodded with tears in her eyes. The couple hugged each other tightly for a long time. After almost an incense stick of time, Li Yunhong, who had changed his clothes, got out of the carriage and took over the driving job: "Chengyi, thank you!"

"treasure!"

"drive!"

The two of them looked at each other deeply in the moonlight for a while. Li Yunhong suddenly whipped the horse whip, and the carriage parked on the official road moved quickly and soon disappeared into the night.

"Let's go back too."

Reaching out her hand and clasping his fingers, Shen Xiangwan looked at him with a smile. When he sent Li Yunhong into the space that day, she was the first to notice it. Later, he had someone rescue Qiao Yanran who was nearly hanged, and sent her into the space together. It was she who asked No. 3 to inject them with sedatives so that they could continue to sleep. They had been sleeping in the space for the past few days, until tonight, when they took the two of them away from the imperial city.

She did not object to his letting Li Yunhong and his wife go. First, Wei Chengyi really had few friends. The only person he could call his best friend was Li Yunhong. Second, when Li Yunhong was still the crown prince, he had a very good reputation. Even the original owner, who had been found back in the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago, had heard of him. They all said that if he inherited the throne, he would definitely be a good emperor who loved the people like his own children. It would not be difficult to extend the life of the Li royal family for another hundred years. Finally, this was the first time Wei Chengyi asked her to forgive his willfulness. What reason did she have to object? People like Li Yunhong and his wife really should not be buried with the corrupt dynasty!
"Ah."

Turning to look at her, Wei Chengyi waved his hand and an off-road vehicle appeared out of thin air. After sending No. 1 back to the space, they drove the off-road vehicle back to the imperial city. Except for them, no one knew that Li Yunhong and his wife were still alive. Even if someone came to their senses later and remembered that they were not among the royal relatives killed today, no one would believe that Wei Chengyi and his wife would personally release them.

For half a month, people were beheaded in the execution ground in the downtown area. The air in the imperial city seemed to be filled with the smell of blood. There were few clean officials in the previous dynasty, and Wei Chengyi and others were not soft-handed. In Shen Xiangwan's words, these termites that endanger the foundation of the country were not beheaded, and they were kept for the New Year? The only happy people were probably the people. They all saw with their own eyes the courage of Wei Chengyi and others.

Of course, Wei Chengyi and his men did not just kill people, they also appeased and resettled the people. During the days when people were not allowed to leave the city freely, they even distributed potatoes, sweet potatoes and other food to the people for free, and posted notices to teach them how to eat them. Even the snowflake salt that the people had never seen before was sold at a very low price. The main purpose was to benefit the people.

"Are we really going to demolish Qianyuan Palace and other major palaces?"

In the front hall of the palace, Yan Junling looked at Shen Xiangwan in surprise. It was obvious from the fact that they had been living in the palace that they disliked the imperial palace from the bottom of their hearts. But he really didn't expect that they disliked it so much that they would rather spend money and effort to demolish the main palace that was frequently used by the previous dynasty and rebuild a new one.
