Chapter 214 Princess Wan'an 24
When Rong Yaoan left, he was still very reluctant. He looked at Shen Lingruo deeply, forbearingly and restrainedly said: "Your Majesty, wait for me to come back."
Shen Lingruo hummed lightly and hugged Rong Yaoan, who was dressed in dark military uniform. The fresh breath from his body rushed into her nose, like green pines in the forest and white snow in the mountains.
Shen Lingruo couldn't help herself and hugged him for a while, greedy for the remaining warmth in his arms.
"Be careful on this trip." She knew that with Rong Yaoan's ability, nothing would happen, but she couldn't help but worry.
A wisp of white spiritual energy flowed out from Shen Lingruo's fingertips and rushed to Rong Yaoan's heart.
This is a layer of amulet she gave.
Rong Yaoan stared at her fingertips. Shen Lingruo felt a little unsure. Would he see it?
That shouldn’t be the case. Ordinary people cannot see this spiritual energy.
"I will, your majesty, and you will be in the palace as well."
He will deal with the affairs of Yunxiao Kingdom as soon as possible and come back to guard his Majesty early. He must not let him be seduced by any wild man.
After Rong Yaoan left, Shen Lingruo handled government affairs as usual. She thought of the world of the True and False Daughter, when Si Linxuan became the emperor and never avoided her when dealing with important affairs of the court.
She would help him deal with some things, and combined with her previous experience as the empress dowager who ruled the country from behind the scenes, she gradually became adept at handling these things.
The knowledge learned in the past world was used by myself one day.
Shen Lingruo was a little dazed. She thought of Si Linxuan. In every world, her boyfriend would have a different personality, or subtle changes in appearance and figure.
But she knew that they were all him, and their souls were the same person.
Clearing away the thoughts in her mind, Shen Lingruo began to review the memorials again. It only took her one or two hours to finish processing these numerous memorials, and the rest of the time was at her disposal.
For other emperors, these things might take more than ten hours or a whole day, but not for her.
She has spiritual power to nourish her body and her mental strength is also strengthened. The experiences in multiple worlds have tempered her body and mind and strengthened her core.
On the surface, Daxing Kingdom was calm, but after Rong Yaoan left, some traditional forces began to stir again.
"Your Highness, the masked man beside the empress has left. Should we take this opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop?"
The old prince's staff is ready to make a move. This is a great opportunity! We can't miss it.
The elderly Prince Duan was also somewhat interested, his gray beard trembling, "I will consider it."
Having said that, the ambition in his eyes revealed what he was thinking.
The deputy general who returned to the capital discovered a secret, that is, their general Ren was actually a woman dressed as a man! A woman!
After learning this secret, his heart kept beating wildly, out of sheer excitement! The reason was simple: this meant that Ren Wu had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and would be punished.
In the past, he was always inferior to the general. As a deputy general, although he was unwilling, he still endured it.
But now that he knew that Ren Wu was a woman, that feeling of resentment surged up again.
Entering the palace to meet the empress, to be honest, the deputy general did not like women being emperors. In his opinion, even if the eldest prince was not worthy of the position, it would never be Princess Chaohua's turn to be the emperor.
On the surface, he pretends to be respectful, but secretly he has no respect for others.
The deputy general had heard of the empress's methods, but he thought it must be because of the masked man beside the empress.
It is rumored that the masked man is vicious and cunning, and will never show mercy to officials who have committed crimes. Every task assigned by the empress is completed perfectly.
It’s not that there were no corrupt officials who wanted to bribe or threaten with force, but they were all fought back by the masked man. It is said that the corrupt official who had hundreds of guards threaten the masked man still has his head hanging high on the beam.
Rong Yaoan has never been nice to anyone except Shen Lingruo. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a ferocious wolf, but in front of Shen Lingruo, he becomes a docile and obedient dog.
The deputy general who entered the palace knelt in front of Shen Lingruo and said, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you a big secret."
"Oh?" Shen Lingruo's eyes were indifferent, "Tell me about it."
"General Ren is a woman! She deceived you and should be punished to serve as a warning to others."
"I have already known about this matter. Moreover, your merits outweigh your faults, which have long been offset."
Shen Lingruo didn't even raise her eyelids. She knew exactly what this deputy general with ulterior motives was planning.
"If there is nothing else, please leave."
In the plot, this deputy general is the culprit who revealed Ren Wu's identity as a woman. After Ren Wu was forced to marry, the deputy general took over the position of general, but his performance was not as perfect as Ren Wu.
Successfully caused Daxing to lose nine cities in a row.
The deputy general gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling to receive this answer.
After he left, Shen Lingruo looked at the sheepskin map on the table. If nothing unexpected happened, Rong Yaoan should have arrived in Yunxiao Country.
I don't know if he is safe there.
Those in the court are also beginning to lose their patience.
When Shen Lingruo saw Prince Duan coming with his troops to force her to abdicate and a group of old ministers forcing her to abdicate, she wanted to laugh.
"Prince Duan, what do you mean?" Shen Lingruo tapped the dragon throne lightly with her fingertips. She was terrifyingly calm, not showing any panic at all when danger was approaching.
"Your Majesty, if you are sensible, then write the edict of abdication. Otherwise, don't blame your uncle's soldiers for their blind swords and accidentally injuring your Majesty." Prince Duan looked at Shen Lingruo with a smile, but his tone did not allow for argument.
A group of ministers who supported Prince Duan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are a woman and you should not be in this position. It is wise to abdicate and give the throne to Prince Duan."
"I beg Your Majesty to abdicate."
One by one, they are forcing her.
"What if I say no?" Shen Lingruo smiled. The old guys finally couldn't hide their true colors.
Prince Duan waved his hand and the soldiers drew their swords.
Shen Lingruo didn't even move her eyelids. She casually picked up a piece of paper and threw it in the direction of Prince Duan.
Prince Duan just found it funny. Could it be that the empress was expressing her dissatisfaction in this way? What harm could a light piece of paper do?
The next second, he could no longer laugh. His hand, which was still in mid-air, was completely cut off and blood gushed out.
"Ah——" Prince Duan was also annoyed. He had originally planned to spare Shen Lingruo's life after she abdicated and let her beg for mercy under him.
Who knew she would dare to cut off his hand! There was no need to show mercy, he said angrily: "Kill that woman for me, whoever takes her head first will be rewarded handsomely!"
The group of soldiers rushed up quickly, but Shen Lingruo was still sitting on the chair, motionless. Prince Duan thought she was so scared that she dared not move.
Who knew that the next second, the group of soldiers fell straight to the ground, unable to move.
