Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 359 Meeting in the DPRK

Emperor Ling asked, "Who is colluding?"

Xue Huang looked at Shen Congfeng, "Jiuxiao City's defender Lu Jing."

Shen Congfeng looked at Xue Huang coldly, "Princess, please be careful with your words. It is a serious crime to slander our generals with your words."

"This is about the life and death of the fifth prince, and also about the marriage between the two countries. Changle dare not speak without thinking."

"What evidence do you have?" Shen Congfeng asked coldly.

Xue Huang looked at Mo Yunchen, "Your Majesty can testify to this."

Mo Yunchen raised his lips slightly, and when he looked up, he looked cold and ruthless again. He took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "I have intercepted a letter between Beiling and the Apocalypse assassin organization Dark Moon Pavilion. There is Lu Jing's private seal on it."

Immediately, an eunuch presented it to the emperor. As expected, Emperor Ling was very angry after reading it. "How dare you."

"How can a letter be proven to be authentic?" Shen Congfeng asked.

Mo Yunchen presented another object, "This is Lu Jing's personal confession. Please pass it to Your Majesty on my behalf."

Emperor Ling read them one by one and asked, "Where is Lu Jing now?"

"He has confessed his guilt and committed suicide."

Shen Congfeng looked at Mo Yunchen coldly, and murderous intent filled their eyes as the two looked at each other.

Mo Yunchen chose to testify, which was to make his position clear in court. This was his revenge and warning.

Emperor Ling coughed a few times, breaking the atmosphere in the court. He knew that this matter was not that simple, but he was happy to see it happen.

So he said: "Jiuxiao City cannot be left unguarded. Since Lu Jing has apologized, let's find someone else to guard it."

Mo Ruilin said, "Father, Jiuxiao City's deputy general Duan Feng is a suitable candidate."

Shen Congfeng objected, "Duan Feng is still young, how can he be qualified to be the defender of a city?"

"Duan Feng has been guarding Jiuxiao City for several years and has never made any mistakes. He has also made many military achievements, so of course he can do it." Mo Ruilin said.

Shen Congfeng looked at Emperor Ling and said, "I think it is inappropriate."

Xue Huang said, "Your Majesty, Changle has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Beiling court, but Changle is the eldest princess of Dongchu after all, and she shoulders the important task of the alliance between the two countries. If she attacks me, she will be an enemy of Dongchu. Why did Lu Jing collude with Tianqi to assassinate Changle? Is there someone else behind this?" Xue Huang looked at Shen Congfeng, "General Shen, if I remember correctly, this Lu Jing is your nephew. Do you know why?"

"How would this general know?"

"I thought it was General Shen who wanted to kill me. After all, as the defender of a city, Lu Jing is under the jurisdiction of General Dingguo."

"Princess Changle," Shen Congfeng looked at her coldly, with murderous intent and warning in his eyes, "You'd better have evidence for what you say."

"Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

"How can you speak nonsense in the court?"

Xue Huang didn't care about the murderous intent in his eyes, but looked at Emperor Ling, "Your Majesty, colluding with Tianqi is a crime of treason. General Duan Feng has made great contributions in eliminating the rebellion and should be rewarded. I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully."

Hearing this, Emperor Ling began to cough again. After a long while, he said weakly, "Forget it, forget it. We will discuss the affairs of the court another day. You are tired from the journey, so go back and rest first."

Everyone retired from court.

The court officials gradually dispersed, and Shen Congfeng stopped when he passed by them. "I heard that the prince and the princess have gone through life and death on the way, and now they are acting more in sync."

Mo Yunchen said indifferently: "How can I fail His Majesty's trust when I am entrusted with the important task of marriage?"

"It is indeed not easy for the prince to return safely." The third prince said, "It is worth it for General Shen and I to worry about him."

Xue Huang was too lazy to pay attention to their sarcastic probing and looked at Mo Ruilin and the Second Prince. The Second Prince was also expressing his concern for their safe return.

But when Xuehuang looked at him, she always felt that he seemed different from before, and seemed to be worried about something.

She really didn't want to continue being polite, so she walked out of the hall first.
