C2 Regent's Consort

The sudden noise attracted everyone's attention. Linyunruo who was pressed to the ground could not even raise his head, and could only hear the surrounding noise.

Soon, everyone kneeled down and shouted in unison:

"Paying respects to Sheezhengwang, Wangye is thousands of years old!"

Sheezhengwang, is it Gongliancheng?!

This thought filled Linyunruo's heart with joy, and unknowingly, his eyes filled with tears.

She would never forget that when her ghost floated in the air in her previous life, she clearly knew that Gongliancheng was the only one who wanted to save the Lin Family and had the ability to do so.

However, by the time he rushed back, it was already too late.

However, that didn't stop him from making his choice in this life!

Even though Sheezhengwang was young, based on seniority, Gongxuzhi would have to call him "Huangshu!"

He and the late emperor were half-brothers, and also the youngest son the Taizuhuangdi doted on the most. It was only because the Gongliancheng was still a seven or eight year old child when the great ancestor passed away that the position of late emperor fell into the hands of the late emperor.

After the late emperor passed away, he passed the throne down to the Gongxuzhi. But even so, in everyone's hearts, it was unknown just how much higher the position of the Gongliancheng was compared to the Gongxuzhi!

He was brave and good at fighting. He had both civil and martial skills. He had courage and foresight, and he was a man of great talents...

This was everyone's impression of the Gongliancheng, and it was also his best picture.

More than half of these great mountains and rivers were fought down by the Gongliancheng on the battlefield, and his cold and domineering aura made everyone revere him.

If such a person could become the backer of the Lin Family and himself, that would be the best outcome!

Fortunately, since he had come, it meant that he had agreed to his request!

The surrounding air became dead silent. Linyunruo lowered his head and kneeled on the ground, but gradually saw a pair of black embroidered gold dragon boots in front of him.

After that, the man's slender index finger lifted up her exquisite chin, and Linyunruo lifted his head to look at the Gongliancheng's handsome and indifferent face.

He glanced at himself darkly and said in a cold voice, "This king has only been away from the capital for a few months, and you dare to kill this king's woman? Jianzhanguan, do you still want that head on your neck?!"

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The Jianzhanguan was so scared that his face turned pale white. He quickly ordered some people to release the bindings on the Linyunruo and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing continuously:

"This official was only following the emperor's orders. Linxiaojie, she … "She was accused of poisoning the empress, so this official didn't dare disobey the emperor's decree!"

Empress?

In other words, the Shenlanrui woman had already become the Queen, and the two of them couldn't wait to get along with each other?

Linyunruo's face revealed a mocking sneer, he held onto Gongliancheng's hand and slowly stood up, and said lightly:

"Whether it is poisoning the empress, I naturally have my own explanation. Now that the Wangye is here, and the lord isn't an idiot, he will naturally help his daughter enter the palace to inform the emperor so that the case can be retried, right?"

"This …"

Jianzhanguan's face revealed a difficult expression.

The Linyunruo had expected that he would not dare to offend the Gongliancheng, nor did he dare to disobey the orders of the Gongxuzhi.

"My Lin Family has been loyal to the court for generations, and has always been loyal to the people, so if my Linyunruo has truly done anything wrong, I will not deny it. Now, I just want Master to fight for a chance for me, no matter what the result is, with Wangye here, I will guarantee master's safety. Don't you want to give my Lin Family the last sliver of mercy and hope?"

Her words were said very cleverly, Jianzhanguan thought of the Lin Family's loyal and kind generation, and her face revealed a trace of guilt.

The onlookers by the side, on the other hand, all spoke out in harmony:

"The Linxiaojie is right, we all believe that the Lin Family would not do such a thing!"

"With Sheezhengwang here, what are you afraid of?"

"All of us are willing to vouch for the Linxiaojie and plead for the Emperor to review this case again!"

"…"

The commoners' voices resounded throughout the skies. Gongliancheng looked at the elegant and refined Linyunruo who was still wearing a tattered prison uniform and felt a peculiar feeling in his heart.

Before coming here, he had also been curious about this smart and daring girl, thinking about what she looked like when she begged him for help.

But now, it seemed that she was smarter than he had imagined. He knew how to play the art of wielding power.

The man's sharp and cold eyes made Linyunruo feel uncomfortable. She forced herself not to avoid his eyes, and instead stood up to look straight into his eyes.

Gongliancheng looked at Linyunruo, and suddenly smiled slightly. He picked her up and put her on the horse, and looked down at Jianzhanguan condescendingly.

"You have been an official in the imperial court for many years, so you naturally know this duke's character. Linyunruo will be this duke's consort, and this time this duke will guarantee her safety.

Jianzhanguan looked at the surrounding crowd, and then carefully raised his head to look at Gongliancheng. Finally, he clenched his teeth, and kneeled under Gongliancheng's horse and kowtowed:

"This official …" "As you command!"

Gongliancheng was very good at riding, even when he was on horseback, he did not feel bumpy.

Linyunruo, who was in his embrace with his warm cape wrapped around her, couldn't help but feel her heart palpitate. Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth:

"Thank you, Wangye, for saving my life."

"There's no need to thank This King. Even without you, This King would have quickly rushed back to the capital."

Gongliancheng lowered her head and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "However, this king is rather curious. Say, since you know this duke's greatest secret, why don't you tell this duke instead?"

As expected of a Sheezhengwang who does things with lightning speed, he got straight to the point so quickly.

The Linyunruo secretly clenched his fists as he tried his best to restrain his emotions. He looked into the Gongliancheng's eyes and said word by word:

"This subject knows, that the current throne should have originally belonged to the Wangye."

When the Gongliancheng heard these words, his gaze suddenly sharpened with a suffocating pressure: "Do you know that based on what you said just now, whether it was this king or the person sitting on the dragon throne, both of them can publicly sentence you to death?!"

"Gongxuzhi wanted to kill me, but he didn't have an honorable reason. Wangye can kill me at any time, but he chose to save me.

Linyunruo looked at Gongliancheng with a smile that was like flowers: "Wangye doesn't want to know, how did this subject and woman find out about this?"

A hint of deep emotion flashed through Gongliancheng's sharp eagle eyes, and a trace of an evil smile suddenly leaked out from the corner of his mouth: "This king is naturally willing to hear the details as to how smart my Sheezhengwang's concubine is."
