Chapter 277 The Dragon Snake Jade Must Be Reclaimed
"General, the ice cellar is ready."
Mo Lingchen still sat there, letting the wind and snow blow on his face.
Li Quan sighed. He had learned from Xiaobei that Chu Qinghe had forged the imperial edict in order to deliver food and fodder to them.
If it weren't for the princess, they would have starved to death!
No, he must tell all the soldiers about the princess's good deeds, let them know that they have food to eat and can survive because the princess paid for it with her life.
It also saves them from talking nonsense and causing trouble for the general.
After all, the emperor's oral order was that no one was allowed to take the princess's body away.
Mo Lingchen personally placed Chu Qinghe's body in the ice cellar and stood there for a long time before leaving.
"General, do you want to find a female corpse to hang?"
"To prevent people from the palace from coming to investigate."
The man said nothing, so Li Quan took the initiative and found a female corpse from the prison that was similar in shape to Chu Qinghe and hung it on the city wall.
Li Quan stood at the foot of the city wall and looked at the corpse swaying in the wind. For the first time, his loyalty to the emperor wavered.
Should we be loyal to such a king?
They fought bravely on the front lines, but the emperor gave up as soon as he said so, and was unwilling to give them even a little food.
It's really disheartening!
Instead of punishing the corrupt officials, they punished the princess who sent them food and supplies so cruelly!
This is his own daughter, how could he be so cruel?!
"General, how about we run away?"
"Go back to the capital quietly, take your family away, and hide away in a place far away from the emperor."
"It's better than dying here."
"We work hard for him, but he doesn't even take our lives seriously!"
"Even if the princess falsely conveyed the imperial edict, no matter how angry the emperor was, he shouldn't have transported the princess's body all the way here."
"This is no longer a humiliation; it's telling us clearly that if he tells us to die, we must die. Anyone who dares to help us will be killed."
"The Emperor has no regard for our feelings at all."
"When I first received the imperial edict, I was only afraid of death, but I didn't feel any resentment."
"If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. I will accept my fate."
"I believe that when the Emperor made the decision to sacrifice us, he must have been helpless and had a difficult decision to make!!"
"After all, with so many lives at stake, no one can just give up or sacrifice."
"But now the emperor has sent the princess's body here, just because she brought us food."
"Just give it to him. It's no big deal. Would he kill the princess?"
"And I vent my anger on you, punishing you in such a cruel way."
"Such a king is not worthy of being loyal."
Li Quan was full of complaints and his dissatisfaction with the emperor reached its peak.
Mo Lingchen said coldly, "Don't say such things again. If anyone hears it, it will be a grave crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan."
"General!"
"go out!"
"Oh!" Li Quan sighed helplessly.
Mo Lingchen looked at the direction where Li Quan left, his eyes full of helplessness.
Why would he want to stay and die?
He also wanted to find a place where the sky was high and the emperor was far away and he could live a leisurely life.
But how could such a huge prime minister's residence be moved away just like that?
Who else is willing to go with him?
Hey, why bother to implicate your family!
Mudan is gone, and there is nothing left in this world for him to miss except his grandmother.
If you go down earlier, you can see the peonies earlier!
Beijing!
Small courtyard in the east of the city!
Su Yujiao sat in Jin Mudan's room, staring at her spirit tablet in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Xiaotao watched her cry and didn't dare to go in and disturb her!
Su Yujiao felt that her good luck seemed to have run out, and troubles had been happening one after another recently.
Mudan's plan was successful. She successfully killed Concubine Jing and overthrew Chu Zhongyuan.
But Chu Zhongyuan disappeared!
This made him very uneasy. Chen Yunniang had snatched away her dragon and snake jade, and she must have discovered that she could travel through time.
Chen Yunniang will definitely help Chu Zhongyuan make a comeback just like in the original novel.
What worries her even more is that they are now hiding in the dark, like poisonous snakes, ready to bite her and give her a fatal blow at any time.
She was really afraid that the ending for her and the people around her would be as tragic as in the original book.
Therefore, she must get the Dragon Snake Jade back, even if it means destroying it, so that Chen Yunniang cannot use it to do evil.
Su Yujiao stared at Jin Mudan's spirit tablet and murmured to herself, "Mudan, I won't let your death be in vain."
"I will definitely take back the Dragon Snake Jade. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Su Yujiao walked out of the room, and Xiao Tao immediately came to greet her: "Miss, are you hungry? You haven't eaten for a day. I prepared some bird's nest porridge for you. Would you like to try it?"
Su Yujiao took the bowl and finished it in a few bites.
"Is there any news about Taoist Xuanqing?"
Xiao Tao shook her head: "Not yet. The reward notice has been posted, but no one has come to claim it yet."
"Keep watching this matter and report immediately if you have any news."
"Yes."
"I'm going to the palace for a while. You take good care of the two children. Anyone entering or leaving must be thoroughly checked."
"Yes."
Su Yujiao was still a little worried, so she turned on the electric fences on the roof and the courtyard wall before leaving.
He also brought self-defense weapons with him and was closely protected by the Wei sisters.
She now has to be on guard and dares not go out alone, for who knows if she will be kidnapped along the way.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Anshun County requests an audience. She says she has something important to discuss with you."
"Quick pass."
The Queen has been in a very good mood recently. All obstacles have been cleared, so she is naturally in a good mood.
As for Chu Zhongyuan, although he has not been caught yet, he won't be able to jump around for long.
After this incident, even if he was his biological son, the emperor would not pass the throne to him.
"Jiaojiao, sit down quickly."
"See if you like it."
"Qingwan and Qingyin were clamoring for new headwear, so I made one for you and Weiwei as well."
"You choose first, and let the three girls choose the rest."
Su Yujiao looked at the gorgeous jewelry on the tray in the palace maid's hand, but had no intention of appreciating it.
"Queen, let the princess choose first. I'm old, so it doesn't matter what I wear."
"Nonsense, you're just in your early twenties, the age of blooming flowers, how can you be considered old?"
"How about I help you choose?"
"This set of twelve colorful pieces is inlaid with gemstones of seven colors. What do you think?"
"This set of twelve Dongzhu pieces is also good."
After much deliberation, the queen finally chose the set of twelve colorful pieces because it was the most expensive!
When giving gifts to others, you should give the best!
After all, Su Yujiao helped her a lot this time, and she really liked Su Yujiao.
Su Yujiao nodded: "That's it, thank you, Queen."
"What are you thanking me for? We're all family, why are you being so polite?"
"Tell me the truth, do you still have feelings for Qian'er?"
"Do you want me to make the decision and grant you a new marriage?"
"If you don't want to remarry, I will adopt you as my adopted daughter and make you a princess. How do you think that is?"
