Chapter 181 Ah Shu~ What a coincidence!
When Feng Xin saw the memorial in Lin Shu's hand, her pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but panic. There was no need to confirm the authenticity of this secret edict; it was definitely real. The Empress Dowager probably already knew that this day would come.
However, even if the secret edict is real now, it can only be fake:
"Ha, a mere memorial? Who can testify that you forged it?"
"I can prove it!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Feng Zhao led Grand Tutor Ji and several others from the side hall, with Imperial Guards led by Commander Jing clearing the way for them.
"Feng Zhao!" After being taken out of the palace by Feng Xin's men, Feng Rui and the others were thrown on the ground. Seeing that Feng Zhao was safe and sound, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be going badly, Feng Xin thought to herself that she had to finish the battle quickly, otherwise, once it was dawn and Xiao Zhuqing brought reinforcements, it would be too late.
"So what if it's true? How can you few compete with me!" Feng Xin said smugly.
Although Feng Zhao didn't show it on her face, she was actually worried. She hadn't expected that Feng Xin and the others would join forces with the Northern Wilderness to reduce the five thousand Imperial Guards to almost nothing.
Furthermore, my aunt has not yet come to help, which can only mean that she is being held up.
After thinking it over, Feng Zhao looked at Lin Shu, who looked relaxed. Lin Shu felt her gaze and nodded reassuringly, which put Feng Zhao at ease.
At this moment——
"Feng Xin, look how capable you are!"
Before they could see her, they could hear her voice. The Third Princess Feng Qing rode in on horseback, followed by a large troop of soldiers.
Feng Xin stared at the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, her teeth practically grinding to powder: "Feng Qing! I completely forgot about you, you idiot!"
These past few days have been so stifling that I've forgotten about Feng Qing, and even more so, I've forgotten that her in-laws, the Duke of Qin, still have 50,000 troops under their command!
Feng Qing was in high spirits at this moment. She waved her hand to the soldiers behind her, with a hint of domineering: "Take down that despicable Feng Xin."
The people behind her immediately swarmed forward.
Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is over, all of Feng Xin's party members have been detained.
Empress Feng Han also walked out of the palace with Empress Xiao Jun. Although her face was still pale, her spirit and energy did not look like that of someone who had been poisoned.
Upon seeing this, those present all bowed and paid their respects.
Feng Xin stared blankly at the dignified and imposing woman before her, and said in disbelief, "Mother...Mother Empress!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Han glanced at her expressionlessly, then looked away without saying a word.
Looking at Feng Han, who seemed completely unaffected, and then at Feng Xin, who looked flustered, Feng Rui understood everything and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Unbelievable! Feng Xin, you didn't expect this either, did you? They're the ones who're the ones who get the spoils, and we're both destined to be eaten in the end..."
"you shut up……"
"..."
……
After a night of turmoil, the palace coup has finally come to an end.
What followed was a matter for the royal family to handle internally, and the trial and resolution would depend on the Empress Dowager's orders.
Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Lin Shu arranged for the Prince of Dingbei's guards to return to the manor, and she also got into the Lin family's carriage.
But the carriage hadn't gone far when it suddenly stopped. If Lin Shu hadn't been sitting firmly, she would have definitely fallen to the other side!
Immediately afterwards, the coachman's voice came from outside, as if someone wanted to get into the carriage...
"Whoosh..." A figure slipped in; it seemed the coachman hadn't been able to stop him.
"My lord, I couldn't stop this young lady!" came the coachman's somewhat ashamed voice from outside.
Lin Shu glanced at the person who had arrived and said calmly, "It's alright, let's continue on our way."
"Yes, sir." With that, the carriage began to sway and wobble along the road again.
After the person entered the carriage, he first glanced at Lin Shu's expression by the light of the oil lamp on the small table, then quickly sat down opposite her, grinning to reveal his neat teeth, and said:
"Ah Shu~, what a coincidence!"
"Unfortunately." Lin Shu glanced at the other person indifferently, then noticed the green bamboo pouch at the other person's waist. Her tone softened slightly. "This road goes in the opposite direction from the Xu residence, so you were waiting for me?"
Although the question was phrased as a question, the tone conveyed absolute certainty.
Seeing that Lin Shu had seen through him, Xu Jingyun stopped pretending and quickly unfolded his fan, which was printed with the words "charming and talented woman," to cover half of his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.
The owner of those eyes moved slightly closer to Lin Shu, his eyes filled with infatuation, and his voice was low and flirtatious: "Oh! Shu is so clever, you were discovered so quickly!"
"What do you want?" Lin Shu met his gaze and was almost drawn into his burning eyes, so she frowned and said coldly.
Xu Jingyun moved even closer to her, grinning, "Of course it's something, and it's big!"
Lin Shu looked at him, gesturing for him to continue.
A sly glint flashed in Xu Jingyun's eyes as she slowly said, "As for what it is, I'll have to ask A-Shu for a kiss before I can tell you!"
"Get out of the carriage!" Lin Shu pursed her lips, giving the impression that she wouldn't let him ride in her carriage unless he told her to.
"Tsk! Ah Shu really has no romance!" Xu Jingyun said with regret, his fan still blocking his view. Seeing that Lin Shu seemed to be losing patience, he stepped back slightly and continued:
"I was just missing Ashu! So I came to see you... lest I fall ill with lovesickness..."
As she spoke, her tone became somewhat sweet and cloying, making her especially alluring in the empty carriage at night.
Lin Shu narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them. Then, she leaned forward slightly, gently moved the object blocking her view with her right hand, grabbed it, closed it, and slowly lifted Xu Jingyun's lowered chin...
When Lin Shu finally saw the face opposite her by candlelight, the danger in her eyes intensified. Xu Jingyun seemed different tonight.
I saw——
The man before me had a handsome face flushed like a rosy cloud, possessed exceptional beauty, and his overall demeanor was incredibly alluring, not to mention his rosy lips…
"You put on rouge?" Lin Shu raised her other hand and gently massaged Xu Jingyun's red lips with her thumb, then smeared it around her lips, instantly pulling out a red tinge at the corner of her lips, full of a cruel beauty!
Xu Jingyun's mouth opened and closed, each sentence enticing: "Does A-Shu like it?"
Lin Shu's eyes were dark. She put down her right hand, which was holding the fan to lift the other person's chin, and continued to use her left hand to pinch the other person's chin, pulling him closer. Then she leaned forward again, and the two were now very close...
Looking at Xu Jingyun's slightly pouting red lips from her chin being pinched, Lin Shu asked in a deep, resonant voice:
Are you trying to seduce me?
-
Sigh! I only planned to write two chapters about the palace coup, but I ended up writing so many!
I feel like the story is nearing its end, but I don't want to say goodbye to you all, so I'm planning to start a new book!
