Chapter 929: Capturing Xiao Shang Alive
As soon as Jiang Fenghua finished speaking, guards came out from all directions and surrounded the man. The guards held crossbows in their hands. In an instant, the air around them seemed to solidify, and the arrows pointed directly at the man who had just spoken.
Jiang Fenghua curled her red lips and smiled slightly, "Prince Xiao always comes secretly, which makes us in the Great Zhou Dynasty seem to have no manners and no idea how to entertain guests."
Xiao Shang stopped pretending and generously took off the human skin mask on his face. "Your Majesty, your hospitality is truly unique! I appreciate your kindness."
The people around were so frightened by this scene that they stepped back one after another. Someone said, "How could the eldest prince of the Northern Owl Kingdom sneak into the palace? He is so lawless."
"That's right, Bei Xiaoguo is too arrogant. How dare he break into the palace alone?"
The last time Xiao Shang spread rumors behind the scenes had long been made public, and everyone thought that the people from Beixiao Country had escaped back.
Xie Shang seemed to have sobered up a lot, and he said in a deep voice, "Capture him."
Xiao Shang sneered but didn't move, letting the swords of Lin Feng and the others press against his neck. He sneered, "I am willing to surrender for the Empress. Your Majesty, do you really not want to know the secrets of the ancient Yinchuan Kingdom?"
Xie Shang didn't expect him not to resist, "Lin Feng, tie him up."
Lin Feng had made preparations long ago and knew that the prince of Beixiao Kingdom was very strange. He even took out an iron chain and put it on Xiao Shang's body, and also prepared shackles for his feet.
Xiao Shang seemed to know that he would not die, and that Xie Shang would not kill him. He said calmly, "I am just waiting for the emperor to order me to remove the iron chains."
Xie Shang looked at his smug expression and wanted to kill him immediately. He clenched his fists and said, "Put him in jail."
Jiang Fenghua stood quietly aside. She did not expect Xiao Shang to surrender, or even resist. She just felt that Xiao Shang's abnormality was weird.
Isn't he afraid of death?
At this moment, without any warning, a muffled thunder was heard in the sky again, and raindrops as big as beans fell down with crackling sounds, and in an instant it turned into a downpour.
The rain soaked everyone, and everyone began to look for shelter. Jiang Fenghua said solemnly to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, "Let's end the banquet and arrange for everyone to leave the palace!"
She then said to Gao Qingtong, "Noble Concubine Gao, please help evacuate the guests and let the concubines return to the palace!"
Gao Qingtong said "yes" and hurried to get busy. It started thundering early tonight, and the rain didn't fall until the fireworks were over. They just thought it wouldn't be just thunder without rain.
Gao Qingtong was also shocked by the Queen's behavior just now. Why did the guards suddenly come out to catch people? At this time, Gao Qingtong just wanted to know how the Emperor would deal with the matter of Song Qing and her family stealing property from the palace.
She wanted to remind the Queen, but when she saw Aoxue and others taking Madam Song and Nanny Yun away, she didn't say anything and went about her business.
Jiang Fenghua walked up to Xie Shang and said, "Your Majesty, please hide from the rain first!"
Xie Shang was also soaked by the rain. He nodded and left with Jiang Fenghua.
In the sky prison, Xiao Shang and the contact person were locked up together. Although Xiao Shang's hands and feet were tied, he still sat cross-legged on the ground calmly and looked at Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang who followed in.
Jiang Fenghua walked up to the contact and said in a deep voice, "Take the thing out of his mouth."
"Have you forgotten who I am, Your Majesty?" The contact person suddenly spoke, and he turned his face towards Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua then realized that he was also wearing a human skin mask. She tore off his mask to reveal his true face. She said, "Xing Yun, it's you."
Xing Yun was tied up and couldn't break free at all, but he was not afraid of death and laughed, "It's rare that the Queen still remembers me. I only met her once at the mourning hall in Minister Li's mansion. I still remember that Madam Helan was crazy and couldn't find the way, and it was I who helped lead the way to Lord Li's mansion."
Jiang Fenghua could certainly understand what he meant by these words. It seemed that Xiao Shang had already found a way out before he dared to let him enter the palace to deliver the letter.
"You are just a street urchin. Tell me why you met with Nanny Yun secretly. What were you doing?" Jiang Fenghua asked.
Xing Yun smiled, "Your Majesty, don't you already know? It's just as Your Majesty thinks. I was just smuggling some goods with Madam Yun to earn some money, and I haven't committed any serious crimes! But I have another identity. I am Xing Yun, the guard of Prince Xiao of the Northern Xiao Kingdom."
What he meant was that he had infiltrated Shengjing a long time ago, and on the surface he was just a street urchin in Da Zhou, but in fact he was a secret sentry of Beixiao Kingdom hidden in Da Zhou.
There are many secret scouts like him, for example, the killers from the Disha Sect are also their people.
Now that Xing Yun can deal with the nanny beside Concubine Song Shu, he will be able to have connections with officials in the court in the future. Saying these words in front of the Emperor of the Great Zhou is simply a slap in the face of Xie Shang.
Xing Yun looked at Jiang Fenghua and suddenly said, "Today I'm not only here to deliver something to Nanny Yun, but also to deliver a letter to the Empress. I believe the Empress has received the letter from the Master!"
Xie Shang asked, "What letter?"
Jiang Fenghua handed the letter to Xie Shang without hiding it, "I also found it from him after I caught him."
Xie Shang was a little angry after reading it and walked up to Xiao Shang, "I know your purpose. You don't have to deliberately write these obscene words to provoke the relationship between me and the Queen."
"Your Majesty, are you angry?" Xiao Shang continued, "Isn't there a saying in the book, 'A gentleman loves a beautiful lady.' Your Majesty is so beautiful. I think besides me, who admires and loves the Queen, there must be other men who are also bewitched by Queen Jiang's beauty and talent! I'm willing to die for her."
Jiang Fenghua knew who he was referring to, and she suddenly felt a little flustered. It was not because she had any special feelings for Xiao Yu, but because she didn't want Xie Shang to feel alienated.
Even if she wanted to play dumb, she could see through Xiao Yu's thoughts. Xiao Yu liked her in both the previous life and this life, but it was impossible for them to be together, so she should cut off her relationship with Xiao Yu.
She said in a deep voice, "Prince Xiao has fallen into our hands now. Your life or death is no longer up to you, so Prince Xiao should save his clever words for arguing with King Yama!"
Xiao Shang deliberately said: "The emperor's pillow is so weird, does the emperor really not mind? The emperor really doesn't want to find out the reason?"
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he suddenly pinched Xiao Shang's neck with his fingers, "If I kill you, no one will know this secret."
"To tell you the truth, twenty years ago, when I opened my eyes and came to this world for no reason, I thought of all kinds of ways to die, because after I died, I could go back and continue to be the King of Beishang and continue to achieve my hegemony, but I didn't succeed once." Xiao Shang said directly.
