Xie Jingxing ended Lu Zhengchun’s life.
When Lu Zhengchun died, he laughed crazily and shouted, “I’ve been invincible all my life, riding the horse through the battlefield and chopping off the heads of the enemy generals, but today, I’m going to die at the hands of a green boy! I’m indignant!”
Xie Jingxing cut off his head and said indifferently, “Ignorant.”
At this point, the Lu family, which had been established in the Daliang Dynasty for a hundred years, disappeared without a trace. The remaining forces of the Lu family fled everywhere and were hunted down by the Black Feather Army one by one.
When Shen Miao heard this, she sighed. The rise and fall of an aristocratic family came too suddenly, but in fact, the sign of their fall had been perceivable for a long time. The Lu family was arrogant and wanted to rebel, so the royal family spared no effort in killing them.
Xie Jingxing said, “But when I came back, I heard that there’s a letter called To My Countrymen circulating in the market…” He glanced at Shen Miao and smiled.” All the scholars wanted to get to know the writer. I wonder who the talent is.”
Shen Miao held back her laughter. “I don’t know.”
“I have to get the Black Feather Army to look for this talent.” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “If it’s a man, I’ll befriend him, but if it’s a woman, then…”
“Then what?” Shen Miao stared at him coldly, looking like if his answer didn’t satisfy her, she would teach him a lesson.
Xie Jingxing said seriously, “Then I’ll drag her out and execute her. I don’t allow any woman to be more talented than my wife.”
Shen Miao couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing her smile, Xie Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly stood up, picked her up, walked to the bed, and put her down. Shen Miao struggled. “You haven’t showered.”
“Don’t move. Let me hug you for a while.” He turned around, pressing Shen Miao under him. Xie Jingxing hugged her and buried his face in her shoulder. Shen Miao was a little tickled by his breath, but she heard him say, “Ming Qi might be launching an attack on us.”
Shen Miao was stunned and asked subconsciously, “What?”
“Before Lu Zhengchun died, he revealed my brother’s illness.” Xie Jingxing’s voice was emotionless. He said, “It seems like Fu Xiuyi also knows about it. Fu Xiuyi won’t miss this opportunity.”
It turned out that before Lu Zhengchun died, he said to Xie Jingxing, “When do you think the emperor of Ming Qi will send troops if he finds out that your short-lived brother won’t live to see the end of the year?”
Shen Miao was surprised. “How did Lu Zhengchun know?”
“It’s hard to guard against everyone in the palace. Moreover, the palace is complicated to begin with.” Xie Jingxing said, “The Lu family probably wanted to use this secret to threaten my brother, but in the end, they changed their mind and chose to tell Fu Xiuyi.”
“Did he want to cooperate with the enemy country?” Shen Miao frowned. “Not really.” Xie Jingxing said, “With Lu Zhengchun’s personality, he probably just wanted to take my brother down.”
When Shen Miao heard this, she agreed. Previously, Lu Zhengchun even posted notices everywhere saying that Emperor Yong Le had killed his father to seize the throne. At that time, he did not make the secret of Emperor Yong Le’s illness public. Perhaps he wanted to keep this secret and use it as his trump card.
Shen Miao said, “That’s right. It’s indeed impossible for Fu Xiuyi to give up this opportunity.” Fu Xiuyi was good at seizing things and opportunities that he could use. Perhaps in his opinion, once the emperor was about to die, the Daliang Dynasty would definitely be in chaos. It was best to go to war at this time. She thought for a moment and said, “It’s just that Ming Qi is not qualified to go against the Daliang Dynasty yet. Fu Xiuyi must have done something in secret. He will only take action when he has enough confidence..”
