Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 95 It’s a trap!

The horse got frightened on the way and she pulled the reins tighter.

On the quiet road at night, a strong wind blew up the dust.

There seemed to be movement in the dark. She held her breath and looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a little deer jumped out from the grass. Ling Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to whip the horse, a dark shadow jumped out and pulled the man off the horse.

She had no time to react, and pushed the person away with all her strength. She knelt on one knee, pulled out the dagger, and stared at the person, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am. I have the upper hand over you now. Tell the truth. Why did you go to the Seven Stars Pavilion alone?"

Ling Ruoli started to feel a little nervous, but then she didn't take it seriously, pulled the horse over, and was about to leave.

"stop"

She jumped on the horse without panicking: "How are you going to threaten me?"

It was no secret that someone from the Seven Stars Pavilion had led me into the palace that day. Even though this was a capital offense, Shen Chengjun didn't touch me.

"Farewell"

"Believe it or not, I will sue you for treason."

"Just go ahead!"

Not wanting to waste time talking to this guy, Ling Ruoli whipped his horse whip and hurried on. He returned not long after.

As soon as she entered the palace, she went straight to the room and lay down on the bed.

The letter mentioned that the two countries were at war. Although five cities of Changguo were attacked, the other two countries did not take action to fight for supremacy and continued to attack the cities. Now Changguo did not send troops and defended the city gates. It would not take long before the city would collapse without a fight.

"This Shen Chengjun is really patient." Ling Ruoli played with her token as a princess, an exquisite jade flute with the word "Shujun" written in small seal script on it.

However, if the fight continues like this, both sides will suffer.

Now I am in Shen Chengjun's territory. He has no time to deal with me, so I might as well deal with him. But if I go there rashly, what can I say?

What he should be looking for at this moment is a plan to withdraw his troops. This old guy is tough enough. He has been fighting with Liuhuo for almost two years and has withstood the siege of several countries for several months, but he has only captured five cities. If it weren't for the strong national strength, he would not dare to waste time like this.

When she scared him with a knife that day and saw how scared he was of death, Ling Ruoli thought he was a coward.

"He is no simple man, he was able to let my second sister sneak into the military camp." Could it be that he also knew about the heroine's halo, so he asked my second sister to go? Ling Ruoli was full of question marks.

Just thinking about a girl running to such a cold and bitter place, she must be starving now. Thinking of this, Ling Ruoli felt a little distressed. How come she had been following him since she was a child, and suddenly she didn't see him for a few days. It's been a month. She thought, "Will he be too thin to look real?"

Unable to sleep for some reason, Ling Ruoli sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night, but the guards were tight and she was caught red-handed.

Escorted by two armored guards to Shen Chengjun: "Kneel down"

Ling Ruoli was suddenly pushed down by someone, her knees touching the ground, and she grimaced in pain.

"Ha, I knew it was you!" Shen Chengjun lifted the beads on his forehead, his eyes staring as dead as copper bells, as if he wanted to eat her.

This little girl had repeatedly touched his reverse scale. He sat up straight with his hands in his pockets, half-closing his eyes as if to rest. "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"I stroll"

"Heh," Shen Chengjun sneered, "You didn't sleep in the middle of the night and walked here from Prince Qi'an's mansion. Ling Ruoli, do you think I will believe your lies?"

"Father, you said that your daughter-in-law is full of lies, which means you don't believe it."

Seeing the man calling him father and trying to get close to him, Shen Chengjun's mouth twitched. He wanted to touch his beard, but his chin had been shaved long ago, so he had to give up.

"Bold Ling Ruoli, do you admit your guilt?"

"What crime have I committed?" Ling Ruoli tried to shake off the two guards who were trying to capture her but couldn't. Imperial Palace masters, remember this and wait for her.

"Breaking into the palace at night, the intention is obvious, assassination."

"evidence"

"Okay, if you want evidence, I will give it to you," Shen Chen'an said, "Show me what you have."

A bullet was not enough to prove anything, but Shen Chengjun picked it up and said, "You think I don't care about this insignificant thing? This is the work of the blacksmith of the Murong family. There are symbols printed on it, but ordinary people can't see it clearly. According to my inquiries, someone gave you some. Why are you so blatant? What do you want to do?"

"That doesn't mean it was me," she said.

"I said you are you, and now you are caught red-handed. There is no need to say your last words. Execute me immediately."

"Hey, don't go too far. You're clearly framing me," Ling Ruoli said in a tough tone.

Playing with the small bullet, Shen Chengjun paced back and forth and said, "In my opinion, it's just a dead duck talking stubbornly."

Ling Ruoli spoke for herself: "Your Majesty said it was the Murong family, so the Murong family should be the most suspicious. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Then what are you doing in the palace?"

At this time, the palace maid reported back that King Qi An wanted to see him.

"No." Then he looked at Ling Ruoli, "My son really cares about you. He doesn't hesitate to expose himself and plant an informant next to me."

Ling Ruoli couldn't raise her head at this moment. She was being held by two guards. Her arms were almost broken and her knees were in unbearable pain. She looked very calm: "Father, it's too early to judge. How long has your daughter-in-law been here?"

"Let's hear what he has to say. Tell King Qi An!"

Ling Ruoli was taken away and her mouth was blocked so that she could not make any sound.

"Joining the Father"

"It's Luo'er," Shen Chengjun said, reviewing the memorial, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard that your father is worried about food and grass these days. I heard that the situation on the border is tight, so I specially raised 50 shi and 60,000 taels of silver to show my gratitude. I hope I can help your father."

This son had been away for many years and had just returned to become a prince, but his annual salary was only eighty yuan.

Shen Chengjun had also investigated and found out that his son had been living in poverty for many years. Was he overthinking it? If so, he would inevitably feel that he owed something.

His voice softened a little: "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, Father"

"I heard that you grow some vegetables in your house and are diligent and frugal. I am very pleased. You can hand over the things I rewarded you. It really pays off my love for you."

"Thank you for your praise, Father. I can only do my humble service."

Shen Chengjun complained bitterly: "I am sorry for wronging you by letting that kind of woman be your princess. I am the only one who...sigh"

"Father, don't worry. Ali is fine."

"It's fine as long as you think it's okay. I can spare her the death penalty, but she can't escape the punishment of life."

Shen Lanxi knelt straight down and said, "I am willing to take the blame for her."

"Luo'er, why do you have to do this!" Shen Chengjun was heartbroken, "That woman is not worth your efforts, but if you treat her well, your father will fulfill your wish and let you choose a place to become a monk."

"Thanks…"

"Damn old man, I've tolerated you for a long time!" Ling Ruoli came out from behind, and the two guards fell to the ground twitching, their arms were purple and terrible.

"You, protect the emperor." Looking at the two unconscious guards, Shen Chengjun quickly dodged them with a frightened look, "Women are the most vicious."

"They don't know how to be gentle with women, they deserve it." Her arm still hurt.

Shen Lanxi stepped forward and asked with concern: "Ali, why are you here? Are you hurt?"

"Fortunately!"

"Things have come to this, I will not pursue the matter. Luo'er, since you have agreed, let your father choose a place for you, Luoying Mountain, let's go!" He was extremely upset and waved his hand to tell the two to leave quickly.

Ling Ruoli was dissatisfied, "Why? He helped you raise food, but you didn't reward him. Instead, you let him become a monk. Wouldn't I be a widow? I think you are trying to make things difficult for me."

"Luo'er will convict you. If he doesn't go, you will be punished. Let's settle the old and new accounts together."

"I," Ling Ruoli said softly, "Father, I was wrong. Can you punish me less severely?"
