Chapter 156: Imperial Master Mu Quan usurps the throne of the faint emperor (25)
The distance between the two gradually narrowed due to Shen Zhuoan's actions and Yan Qingning's non-resistance. When the two were about to get very close, Yan Qingning put her hand on his chest and coldly reminded him: "National Master. Sir, please respect yourself."
Familiar words came out of Yan Qingning's mouth again, making Shen Zhuoan almost unable to react.
The effectiveness of the Gu insect forced him to get closer to Yan Qingning to relieve his pain, but he did not do so.
He endured the numbness caused by the poison activating in his blood vessels, complied with Yan Qingning's request and let go of his hand, and even took a step back.
In the eyes of outsiders, he just wanted to help Yan Qingning kill Chen Yuan, a worm...
Only the two of them knew what kind of impact the Gu insects that felt each other's breath gave them in their active state at the moment their skins touched each other.
Shen Zhuo'an pinched the fingertips that became hot from touching Yan Qingning, frowned and pressed on his heart without leaving any trace.
The strange feeling becomes more and more obvious...
Xiaobai: [Task target love value +1, current love value is: 71. 】
As the system beeped, the strong smell of blood filled Yan Qingning's throat again without warning.
Previously, the Lord God used Shen Zhuoan's body to transfer the effectiveness of the Gu insects, but the sequelae that followed were...
Whoever is tempted to fall in love first, the Gu worms silent in the blood vessels will kill the person he falls in love with.
This is an extremely cruel method, an extremely cruel method to those who are tempted...
Lord God knew that he did not like Shen Zhuoan in this world, so he did not leave any escape route for Shen Zhuoan, but instead forced him to the point where there was only one way left.
He pursed his lips and forced himself to swallow the blood.
Yan Qingning closed her eyes to calm down her sour eyes, and issued an order in a cold voice: "Take all these complicit government officials and put them in prison in the Beijun County Government Office!"
When the government officials who were suppressed by the secret guards heard what he said, their faces were no longer indifferent, and they all begged.
"My lord, we are wronged!"
"Sir, Chen Yuan ordered us to do this!"
"Sir, we are only following orders!"
……
The sounds of begging for mercy kept ringing in Yan Qingning's ears, making him have tinnitus in his ears and he could hardly hear the sounds around him.
He shook his head, barely managed to steady himself, and ordered again: "Take him down!"
Shen Zhuo'an knew that something was wrong with him, and wanted to reach out to hold him in his arms, but because he was afraid of being rejected, he withdrew his hand and just remained silent, staring at Yan Qingning's thin figure worriedly.
His eyes began to darken again, and Yan Qingning pinched his palms hard to stay awake. He said warmly to the group of people who crawled out of the pit and stared at him with vigilance, "Don't be afraid."
"I'm here to take you home..."
The wind lifted up the white square handkerchief tied on his face, revealing his delicate little face, making him look like a savior.
Such Yan Qingning is undoubtedly dazzling and respected, but Shen Zhuoan doesn't think so.
He always felt that this scene had a familiar feeling, and he always felt that this scene was inexplicably weird.
Possessiveness was at work, causing him to subconsciously take the initiative to block the various gazes of the people and prevent them from prying at Yan Qingning.
The sudden shadow in front of him made Yan Qingning raise his head. Under the influence of chronic poison, his vision had begun to become blurred. Even if he tried to open his eyes, he could only see a hazy patch, let alone clearly see what the person in front of him looked like. look.
"Shen Zhuo'an?"
Even if he couldn't see clearly, he could still identify who the person in front of him was.
Except for Shen Zhuo'an, no one dared to approach him so unscrupulously, and no one dared to treat him with such high-sounding disrespect.
"Properly resettle these refugees in Beijun." Shen Zhuoan issued a new round of orders, quietly waiting for the secret guards to take away the people infected with the disease and resettle them.
During this not-so-long period of time, Shen Zhuoan's eyes kept falling on Yan Qingning's face, pressing down his square handkerchief that was lifted by the wind, "Your Majesty, the wind is heavy in the south of the Yangtze River, you should take a good rest."
Yan Qingning grabbed his hand based on feeling and asked him: "Shen Zhuo'an, why did you kill Chen Yuan? We obviously haven't got any more useful information yet!"
"His value is gone, and it will be gone when he reveals the mastermind behind it." Shen Zhuoan lowered his eyes and pressed the corner of his square handkerchief, and his fingertips inadvertently touched Yan Qingning's lips again and again.
Every time, just a slight click...
Perhaps disturbed by his rude behavior, Yan Qingning slapped his hand away based on his feeling, frowned and asked him: "Master Imperial Advisor, how can you be sure that Lu Ya, the Minister of War, is the mastermind behind this?"
After sensing Yan Qingning's resistance, Shen Zhuo'an did not continue and explained to him slowly: "After I received the disaster relief money and food and it was embezzled, I sent people to the palace to investigate. The news I got was that there was someone in the palace. Two Lu Ya."
"That man looks very much like Lu Ya, but he always stays in the dark. The relationship between him and Lu Ya is very much like a human being and a shadow."
"The weird thing is that everyone in the palace knows the existence of the shadow, and even treats the shadow with more respect than they treat the real Lu Ya."
"It can be seen just from the attitudes of those in the minister's house that the relationship between this shadow and Lu Ya will be overturned sooner or later."
Excessive information hit Yan Qingning's brain one after another, making his already chaotic brain even more chaotic, and he lost the ability to think.
Shen Zhuo'an realized that something was not right about him and stopped talking.
Yan Qingning's vision suddenly went dark, and he fell forward completely unconsciously.
Shen Zhuo'an naturally stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, and used his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead bit by bit.
Yan Qingning's body was extremely hot, and considering that he had been so close to the people infected with the epidemic before, it was natural to guess what happened.
Shen Zhuo'an sighed lowly and hugged Yan Qingning without hesitation: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so pushy..."
Before he could even take a few steps while holding Yan Qingning in his arms, a figure covered in blood fell heavily at his feet.
The man had a broken arm, and it seemed that he was holding on and dragging his life to come to report.
He clutched Shen Zhuoan's clothes tightly, opened his mouth to spit out the blood foam he had been holding in his mouth, and reported: "Subordinate Qinghe... came here to report..."
"Beijing County was robbed while transporting money and grain... None of His Majesty's confidants survived... The Minister of War intends to plot rebellion..."
"There is a nest of snakes and rats among the governors and magistrates of the northern and southern counties of the Yangtze River...colluding with the minister of the Ministry of War...the people infected with the epidemic were burned and buried in the ground...the Taiyuan Hospital surrendered to the enemy...the minister of the Ministry of War colluded internally and externally to spread the epidemic..."
"The Imperial City...will be attacked soon..."
