Chapter 299: Jin Ling Sets Fire
After riding at full speed all the way, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng finally reunited with the main force ten days later.

Seeing the two men return safely with plenty of food and supplies, everyone finally felt relieved.

Marquis Wu'an wanted to ask something, but he knew he would not get any result, so he wisely chose to keep silent.

When the maids saw their own girl, they were almost scared to death these days.

Pan Yingying had no time to comfort him, so she wrote a letter herself and sent someone to deliver it to Xiao Lianping in the capital.

As a young person, she always has to say hello when she comes to the capital.

When Xiao Lianping received the letter, he was almost so angry that his nose was crooked.

"What a Xiao Ying! He's so brave!"

Xiao Lianping tore the letter, which seemed to be a greeting but was actually a threat to him to abdicate, into pieces.

"Come here! Draft an order!

"Xiao Ying is unfilial and unfraternal, and he is committing an insubordination... Capture him immediately, without any mistakes!"

Qu Su held the imperial edict in his hand, feeling that he might not see the sun tomorrow.

After leaving the palace with the imperial edict, he first returned to his residence.

Bai Lingfei came out to greet him, but before he could finish his greetings, Qu Su held him down.

"Ling Fei, go find your mother and ask her to pack her things. We have to leave overnight." Qu Su looked serious and spoke in a very low voice.

Bai Lingfei's eyes shone, "What happened, uncle?"

Qu Su sighed and told the emperor that he had been asked to convey the imperial edict.

He didn't dare to go, so he had to wait until night to find an opportunity to escape.

Xiao Ying brought an army of 20 to the capital and stationed them 50 miles outside the capital. Most of the Dragon Guards in the capital were sent out to resist the Xia Kingdom. The less than 5 people left were no match for Xiao Ying.

She was determined to bring down Xiao Lianping and sit on the throne herself!

Unfortunately, Xiao Lianping was poisoned by a Gu and his mind was not clear, so he issued an order to capture the person.

Whoever passes this paper will die. Qu Su is not crazy, so how dare he go!

Bai Lingfei's eyes rolled and he already had a candidate in mind to convey the imperial edict.

"Uncle, didn't you just hire my classmate to work for you not long ago? Let him go and pass on the imperial edict." He smiled, "My classmate can't stand women arrogating themselves to wake up early. He will definitely be able to do this job well."

After hearing what he said, a person's name came to Qu Su's mind.

"Are you talking about Feng Yan?"

Bai Lingfei nodded, "That's right."

I'm sure Feng Yan would be very happy to have the opportunity to announce the imperial decree.

Qu Su was suspicious, "Will he notice something?"

Bai Lingfei shook his head. Feng Yan was not a smart man. He had a high opinion of himself. He had no talent but was still self-righteous. This kind of person was most suitable to be a vanguard.

"Okay, then let him be the one to deliver the imperial edict." Qu Su made the decision.

The uncle and nephew quickly separated and went back to pack their belongings.

It’s not that Qu Su had never thought about joining Xiao Ying, but his father and sister both died at her hands. Plus, with the incident with the late crown prince, given Xiao Ying’s vengeance, she would definitely not let him go.

Yes, Qu Su always felt that Xiao Ying was a vindictive person.

Judging from the tragic conditions of his father and sister before their death, they should have confessed everything they could and could not confess. If they did not escape, wouldn't they die at the hands of Xiao Ying?

After packing up his things, Feng Yan also arrived at the main hall.

Qu Su gave him the imperial edict, encouraged him, and sent a team of a hundred people to escort him to announce the edict and capture Xiao Ying.

Feng Yan walked away confidently, not noticing that Qu Su was looking at him as if he were a dead person.

……

……

Feng Yan led his troops into the Northwest Army camp. When he saw the maids in armor in the camp, he looked down on them.

It is simply laughable for women to join the army. Can they hold swords?

Women should stay in the back house to take care of their husbands and children. How can they come out and show their faces in public?

He had an arrogant look on his face, and was about to order Xiao Ying to come out and kneel down to receive the imperial edict, when a group of people called Ulala rushed over and pinned him to the ground, and the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand was snatched away.

Marquis Wu'an took the imperial edict brought by Deputy General Qin, read it quickly, and was so angry that he tore the edict into two pieces.

"What a Xiao Lianping! Do you think our Huo family is vegetarian?"

Deputy General Qin picked up the torn imperial edict, read it, and spat in anger.

"What the hell is this damn emperor? He is just a traitor who is plotting to usurp the throne. He actually has the nerve to arrest our prince for a trial!"

Hearing them scolding His Majesty, Feng Yan's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth to scold back, "You are the traitors! Why don't you quickly let Xiao Ying, the traitor, come out and surrender!"

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard in the face, knocking out two of his teeth.

Feng Yan had never suffered such an injustice before, and he struggled to fight with the soldiers who were beating him.

Murderous intent flashed in Wu'an Marquis's eyes, and he waved to Deputy General Qin.

Deputy Qin understood, drew out his long sword, walked over, and chopped off Feng Yan's head with one blow as Feng Yan looked horrified.

"Put this head in place and send it to Xiao Lianping."

……

……

The team of a hundred people ran back to the capital like crazy. They did not dare to delay and brought Feng Yan's head into the palace overnight.

Xiao Lianping thought it was Xiao Ying's head, so he opened it with a smile, only to find that it was a young man he didn't recognize. After listening to the report from his confidant, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

At this time, the carriage that Qu Su was riding in had already left the capital and was speeding towards the east.

Qu Su had some friendship with Chengyang prefect Zhang Shouchu, and was planning to take Bai Lingfei and Qu Haitang with him to seek refuge.

After daybreak, Prince Xiao of the Northwest Army issued a manifesto and produced Xiao Shen's secret decree of succession, as well as the testimony of Emperor Yuwen's trusted eunuch chief Li Fugui and his godson Li Shuang'an.

This shows that Xiao Lianping had evil ambitions and colluded with the Tartars to first frame Xiao Fengyi and then poisoned Emperor Qing. That's why Emperor Qing wrote a secret decree in his own hand before his death, asking to pass the throne to Xiao Ying.

As for the imperial edict of succession in Xiao Lianping's hand, it was simply forged!

As soon as this manifesto came out, those who had originally supported Xiao Lianping and insulted Xiao Ying suddenly fell silent.

Especially those literati who had cursed the loudest before felt like they had been slapped hard in the face.

As soon as Xiao Lianping woke up and heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted again.

The palace maid in a pink dress took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly entered the hall.

The news in recent days has made people in the palace panic. With Xiao Lianping's fall, it is natural that the palace servants are not doing their work with full dedication.

The maid dragged a bucket of kerosene from the secret room and kicked it to the ground.

Kerosene was everywhere.

The moment the fire was lit, Jin Ling's face was filled with joy.

She could finally avenge the goddess and her godmother.

She looked far into the distance in the direction of the Northwest Army’s station and bowed deeply.

Lord Xiao, I can only help you up to this point. You have governed the Northwest so well, and I hope you can also let the people of Dayu live a similarly good life.

Prince Xiao, if possible, I hope you will always be a good emperor.

……

……

A fire broke out in the palace and the fire was so huge that it burned down four palaces in a row.

The new emperor who had just been conquered by Prince Xiao was also burned to death.
