CHAPTER 692: CHAPTER 572: THE MIAO KING’S EMBARRASSMENT AND THE BLACK ARMOR ARMY’S EMERGENCE

Lu Fengyin didn’t hide anything: "Thanks to Pavilion Master Gongsun telling me, otherwise I wouldn’t have known so many demons had come to the Imperial City, wreaking havoc on Da Liang’s lands!"

"You’ve been traveling hard, go back to your palace and rest for a while."

Emperor Liang once promised the late emperor that the Prince Qin Mansion would always have a courtyard for Lu Fengyin.

When he became emperor, the courtyard was upgraded to a palace.

"Imperial Brother, I know you don’t remember the past, and your damned servant didn’t remind you either. Along with the Crown Prince, he kept you completely in the dark!"

Lu Fengyin’s last two sentences were directed at Eunuch Yu.

Eunuch Yu knelt down.

Emperor Liang nodded secretly.

Even his most trusted aide can be disposed of at will; it seems he truly indulged this little sister in the past.

Lu Fengyin hummed indifferently and then said to Emperor Liang: "Imperial Brother, do you know that Miaojiang and Da Liang are arch enemies? The Miao King has an indelible vendetta against the Lu Family! Your sister, who shared the same mother as you, died at the hands of Miaojiang people! Miaojiang people are incredibly deceitful, and the Miao King has attempted to assassinate you multiple times. His treacherous heart remains unchanged. By sneaking into the Imperial City, he surely intends to scheme against you!"

Emperor Liang pointed to the courtyard, where the Miao King, idly and bored, started playing with a fishing net, accidentally tying himself up like a cocoon and swinging wildly from a tree branch:

"You mean this fool wants to scheme against me?"

Lu Fengyin: "..."

Lu Fengyin took a deep breath: "Imperial Brother, Pavilion Master Gongsun is innocent."

Emperor Liang flipped open a memorial: "If you don’t find evidence within ten days, he shall be sentenced to death."

-

Lu Fengyin stormed out of the study angrily.

Passing by the three swordsmen, she threw them a fierce eye dagger.

Mr. Zi Wu pretended to bow.

Duke Jiang is indifferent even to Emperor Liang, let alone her?

The Miao King, trapped in the fishing net, couldn’t get out, simply couldn’t!

She said coldly, "Just you wait, there will come a day when you are punished!"

Lu Fengyin went to the outer court to meet Gongsun Yanming.

"You were right, Imperial Brother really doesn’t remember the old days, and he doesn’t love me as he once did. Damn Miao King dares to so deceive my Imperial Brother!"

Gongsun Yanming said, "Princess, please calm down."

Lu Fengyin’s demeanor softened slightly; she said to him, "With my Death Exemption Token, I’ve already protected you with Imperial Brother. If you can find evidence within ten days, you can redeem the Death Exemption Token; if not, it’s alright."

Gongsun Yanming looked ashamed: "That was left by the late emperor for you, Princess..."

Lu Fengyin retorted coldly, "Yes, the only Death Exemption Token of mine, wasted! It infuriates me!"

She unhesitatingly blamed the Crown Prince Mansion for this.

She snorted, "Ghosts and monsters dare to disturb my father’s conquered land, how reckless!"

Lu Fengyin once followed the late emperor in battles, always considering the Southwest her father’s merit. Her brother had merit, but not much—after all, she had merit too.

Thinking this way is not unusual.

It’s like being a minor master in her father’s house, but just a younger sister-in-law in her brother’s house.

Gongsun Yanming said again, "The Crown Prince has taken control of the Imperial Army."

Lu Fengyin was unfazed: "I also have thirty thousand elite soldiers under me; should I be afraid of him?"

Gongsun Yanming calmly said: "The Eldest Princess, as Da Liang’s Marquis, far exceeds ordinary imperial family members, yet the Crown Prince is, after all, legitimate..."

Lu Fengyin waved her wide sleeves: "Legitimate my foot! Merely relying on currying favor to ascend! Imperial Brother is also senile, letting himself be deceived by a bastard and a wild spawn! If worse comes to worst, I will enter the capital to serve my monarch and protect my father’s lands!"

Gongsun Yanming, pondering, said: "With Hu Great General’s Tiger Talisman confiscated by Your Majesty, if a real fight breaks out, the Eldest Princess might not have the advantage."

Lu Fengyin laughed heartily: "I don’t have just thirty thousand elite soldiers; you forgot about the Black Armor Army from the North, didn’t you?"

Gongsun Yanming asked: "The Black Armor Army that fought with Chu Grand Marshal against Beiliang?"

Lu Fengyin smiled lightly: "Indeed, it’s them! After Chu Grand Marshal died, they came to the Southwest and camped in my fief."

A suitable flash of surprise and admiration crossed Gongsun Yanming’s face, then he looked worried: "The Crown Prince Mansion has the assistance of the Twelve Guards."

Lu Fengyin laughed: "The Black Armor Army is the Black Armor Army, the Twelve Guards are the Twelve Guards, they can’t command those fierce warriors."

Gongsun Yanming asked: "Are you implying, Princess, that you’ve incorporated the Black Armor Army?"

Lu Fengyin smiled proudly: "More or less."
