C3 General Xiao

A huge event happened in April, and even Shen Qi, the otaku girl who stayed at home most of the time, could hear rumors every day. They were the siblings of the current emperor, the youngest son of the Esteemed Empress Dowager, Prince Xian, had been assassinated. The emperor and the Esteemed Empress Dowager immediately ordered all the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital to go to the King's Mansion to treat King Duan's injuries.

After three days and three nights of unremitting research and treatment by all the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, the final result was that even though His Highness Duke of Duan's life was saved, he was still unable to wake up.

The Esteemed Empress Dowager was furious and cursed at the imperial physicians for being a bunch of trash. Originally, she wanted to order them to kill the imperial physicians, but because everyone was helpless and Emperor Duanren still needed the treatment of the imperial physicians, the imperial physicians wiped the sweat off their forehead and walked out of the King's Mansion trembling, as if they were sifting through chaff.

The imperial physicians who'd saved their lives with much difficulty were all diligently studying the reason why Prince Duanren couldn't pass out, but they had no results from studying him for many days.

At the same time, His Majesty ordered the imperial guards to investigate with all their might so that they could catch the murderer. They actually dared to assassinate the emperor's younger brother right under his nose. Wasn't this an undisguised slap in the face?

Esteemed Empress Dowager had a group of her own secret guards, who had also received the empress dowager's order to go all out to capture the culprit.

To be able to make two of the most respected people in the world so nervous, it was definitely someone of great origins.

The late emperor favored the Consort De and her son. He ignored the empress and nearly crippled the crown prince and made him the new Consort De crown prince. If it weren't for strong objections from the officials, the crown prince would never have done anything. The late emperor would have long since crippled the crown prince, which meant that His Majesty was now the emperor.

Back then, when the palace had turned into a bloody mess, King Duanren had used his tender teenage body to protect the current emperor as he fought his way to the throne. Everywhere he went, blood flowed like a river and he howled in grief as he protected the Crown Prince and ascended to the throne. In fact, in order for his elder brother to be able to stay in power, Duke Xian had begun to dress himself up as the enemy of both sides to protect the mountains and rivers, all the way until now.

It could be said that for the sake of the current position of the emperor, Prince Duanren had bowed to his death before dying. It was no wonder that the emperor valued him so highly.

In the meeting hall of the Holy Gan Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs were all silent. The current emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a face full of anger as he looked coldly at the chattering ministers below. His mouth could make people sob in pain, but at this moment, he lowered his head and feigned death, afraid that someone would notice him.

Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes and asked without any emotion in his voice, "Do you have nothing to say right now?" It's been so long, why haven't we caught the killer yet? Did I raise you all so that all you care about is whether my harem is full or not? "

The ministers of the civil and martial arts world, especially those who had been urging the emperor to elect his concubines all day, all broke out in a cold sweat. All of them lowered their heads with pale faces; it seemed that the emperor was very dissatisfied with them interfering with their harem, so he used this opportunity to beat them up!

The emperor had long given up on this bunch of officials. He would stare at his harem all day long, shrinking faster and faster when there was really something going on.

However, no matter how angry Mo Ze was, the important thing to do was to get angry. Right now, Mo Ze was unconscious, and the royal doctors said that he was poisoned, but the poison was complex.

This was also the reason why the Gan Emperor was so anxious. He urgently needed to find out the truth and obtain the antidote. His mother had already been sick for Jing Ze's sake, so he couldn't drag this on any longer.

"General Chuan Xiao is here to see you." The cold voice of the Qian Emperor sounded out, followed by a series of orders from the eunuchs and guards.

In a moment, a tall, slender, handsome, and imposing young man walked in. He had sharp eyebrows, a sharp face, and was dressed in a military uniform. He walked with vigor and vigor, but he had a smile on his face, softening the lines around his body.

This was the famous and famous General Zhenyuan, Xiao Mo, the grandson of the Grand Princess, as well as the nephew of the Emperor and Prince Duanren.

Back then, in order to protect the peace of the world, he had married into the Xiao family. At that time, Xiao Mo's grandfather held onto heavy troops and kept watch over the Guanbei to defend against foreign enemies and protect the country. He had even delayed the marriage that took place until he turned thirty and still hadn't married his wife and married her.

It was rumored that Old General Xiao was born with a cruel personality. His face even had a hideous scar on it that caused ordinary people to tremble with fear, let alone marry him.

However, the Old General Xiao had achieved outstanding results in battle and killed countless enemies. If such a hero were to die, it would be too chilling for his heart. Thus, the Eldest Princess took the initiative to ask for his hand in marriage.

When the late emperor doted on the Consort De and wanted to cripple the crown prince, he was stopped by the Grand Princess, who urged the late emperor to not mess up his family's etiquette. In the end, she had also contributed a lot, and with the help of the dragon, the Eldest Princess and the Xiao Mansion once again became incomparable.

The Xiao family had been born to the military and had many good sons who had died fighting to protect their country. His Majesty was wise and the servants were virtuous, of course, he wouldn't disappoint these soldiers who were protecting their families and guarding their countries. Therefore, he had a lot of trust in General Xiao Mo.

Back then, when they had entered the army together, Xiao Mo had been born into the army as a general and had been around since he was young. At that time, he was not convinced that this young prince had only held the upper hand in terms of status.

It wasn't until they worked together that Xiao Mo finally started to change his opinion of Mo Ze. When Mo Ze led his soldiers to defeat the Barbarians, Xiao Mo saw a true hot-blooded man.

This time, when Mo Ze was injured, Xiao Mo's eyes were also wide open, wishing that he could dismember the corpses of those sinister people, hence when he received the orders from His Majesty to take charge of investigating this matter, he was extremely proactive.

"This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor." Xiao Mo went up to the imperial court and flung his sleeves, he then knelt down and clasped his fists to greet the Emperor.

"My beloved daughter, please quickly get up." The emperor looked at Xiao Mo who was in front of him, and his tone finally turned warm, letting the other court officials know how much trust His Majesty held in General Xiao.

"In addition, I will allow you to select two thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards. We will listen to your commands and take away all the suspected personnel. If there is any resistance, kill them without question. I will allow you to behead them later." The Heavenly Emperor casually threw a token at Xiao Mo, being able to move the Embroidered Uniform Guard's token. After saying those words, everyone knew that they were truly angry, and that who knew how many people were going to suffer!

"This subject accepts the benevolent decree, I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" Xiao Mo's reply was also powerful and generous. She put away her usual cynical smile and became serious and serious.

The Emperor knew that Xiao Mo and Jing Ze's relationship was not ordinary, so he could rest assured that he would leave this matter to him. He smiled and nodded, then dismissed Xiao Mo from his job and announced his departure from the imperial court.

The officials silently walked out of the meeting room and started to discuss in groups of twos and threes. The emperor had even sent out the Imperial Secret Service, which showed the importance of this matter. One must know that the Imperial Secret Service only followed the emperor's orders and were only loyal to the emperor.

To let General Xiao take full responsibility this time, and even allowing him to cut him down first and play later, what kind of trust and honor was this?! From now on, they would not dare to underestimate the General's Estate.

After that, Shen Qi would occasionally hear rumors about the bloody rain in the imperial court. The criminals in the family had been fired, and were able to catch a few spies, but they were all very far from her, and the next thing she knew was that her birthday was coming.

Her fourteenth birthday was not in her prime, and with her status in the Shang Shu Manor, it would not be a big deal.

"It's about time for Xiao Qi to turn old. Take her out for a look at the scenery. It's about time for us to see each other."

"Yes, master." The Xu lowered his head and said. Every time he mentioned about Shen Qi, the way he said it made Shang Chen very agitated.

"I know you have your own thoughts, but after so many years, you are still fine. You don't even look at her once. She's also your daughter, and also a piece of meat that fell from your body!" Minister Shen ended his speech with a helpless look on his face.

"I'll listen to you, old master." Xu still looked like she was about to die, and Master Shang Shu, Shen Weiyuan, immediately lost the interest to talk to her.

Xu was always like this. Whenever she met something she objected to, she would just lower her head and look like she could do anything. However, in reality, she was just a silent protest.

Before Shen Weiyuan got married, he had a concubine concubine. However, after Xu entered the room and used this kind of attitude to kill off those people who were annoyed. Then, Shen Weiyuan followed her wishes and dismissed those concubines.

He felt that there was a problem with the Xu's attitude towards Shen Qi. No matter how many times he said it, it wouldn't work, so Shen Weiyuan felt that he was especially ungrateful to Shen Qi.

He said that Shen Qi was not even three years old and her mother died, yet Shen Qi was still alive and kicking even after being thirteen years old. She really did not know what her heart was made of, and did not even want to look at her daughter directly.

Shen Weiyuan flung his sleeves and went out, "You don't need to wait for me tonight, I'll sleep in the study room."
