When Li Hongyuan made his move, Imperial Bodyguard Qian and the others naturally protected Jingwan, paying attention to the movements around them at all times, just in case.
Li Hongyuan was able to handle the three of them with ease. Coupled with the assistance of the people around Le Chengdi, Li Hongyuan seized the opportunity to defeat them one by one. He was also merciless, breaking their arms and legs, making them absolutely lose their ability to move. It was obvious that there was no possibility of success. The three people subconsciously wanted to bite open the poison sacs hidden in their mouths. Li Hongyuan raised his foot and kicked over. The three people were obviously not on the same line, but they were all kicked in the jaw, eliminating the possibility of suicide.
After dealing with these three, Li Hongyuan suddenly tilted his head slightly, sweeping his eyes. The knife in his hand shook and flew out of his hand. With a whoosh, it brushed past Le Chengdi's neck. "Uh — —" A short and hurried sound. The neck of a woman behind Le Chengdi was penetrated. She was still holding a crossbow in her hand. Her eyes were wide open and she died with remaining grievances.
Because of this, Le Chengdi was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled. If he hadn't just gone to the toilet, he was afraid that he would have lost a lot of face.
The bystanders silently moved their eyes away, either looking at the sky or the ground, or paying attention to the people around them. In fact, the target of the person who was killed by Li Hongyuan was actually Jingwan and not Le Chengdi. This hidden fourth person might have wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a move. Unexpectedly, although Li Hongyuan was dealing with the three people in front of him, he was also paying attention to the situation around Jingwan. When he found that someone dared to make a move on Jingwan, he brazenly made a move, completely ignoring who was in the path of the knife.
The scene of Li Hongyuan killing people, Jingwan had seen it before. At that moment, he was absolutely an emotionless killing machine. Anyone who touched his "territory" would not have a good ending. Just like just now, Jingwan felt that his eyes were suffused with a cold, metallic light.
No one was born like this. At the beginning, Jingwan was somewhat frightened. At that time, she didn't think about this problem. She only heard that Jin Qinwang was malicious and ruthless. Now that she knew why he was like this, she felt extremely distressed. Clearly, she was protected very well just now. Even if he didn't make a move, she would absolutely be fine. But he made a move, to the extent that it drew out the coldest and darkest thing in his heart. "Ah Yuan …"
"Emperor, are you okay?" Yu Zhongqing supported Le Chengdi and asked with concern.
All of a sudden, Jingwan seemed to have regained her senses. She clenched her fists and calmed herself down. She moved her eyes away from Li Hongyuan and walked quickly to Le Chengdi. She held his arm and said, "Father, are you okay? Just now, this daughter-in-law was really scared to death. Fortunately, Wangye reacted quickly, otherwise Emperor may … "Seemingly realizing that she said something wrong, Jingwan slapped her mouth twice.
Don't blame Jingwan for letting Leng Chengdi take the blame. She was not only protecting herself, but more importantly, Li Hongyuan ignored Le Chengdi's safety because of others. That was a big mistake. Then, no matter how much Le Chengdi loved this son of his, once he knew, there would certainly not be a good outcome. No matter how much he loved his son, could it be compared to his own life? And a lot of things that Li Hongyuan had managed in the past would be burned to the ground. Therefore, she could only let Le Chengdi think that Li Hongyuan's actions were to save him. Only in this way could she not make a mistake.
"Is, is that so?" Le Chengdi's body was still trembling a little, and his speech was not smooth.
"That's right, these evildoers are really too hateful." Jingwan was still a little scared and looked back, as if she had seen something terrible, and immediately looked away.
Le Chengdi also looked back slowly. When he saw the dead man holding the crossbow, he immediately agreed with Jingwan's words and nodded, "Old Six, Old Six, you have made a contribution to save the emperor this time. Later, I will reward you handsomely."
Jingwan slightly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Le Chengdi agreed, it was fine. Anyway, in the situation just now, except for herself, probably no one knew what was going on. Even if someone disagreed, it could not be helped. After all, one was the princess and the other was the emperor. No one would think that the assassination target was the princess and not the emperor. Le Chengdi himself thought so, so he did not doubt Jingwan's words. In this way, the interrogation of the other assassins had nothing to do with them.
"Quickly call Gong Jiu over and let him take a look at father's wound." Jingwan ordered, "Father, take a rest first, bandage your wound, and then escort you back to the palace. What do you think of handing these assassins to the Blackguard for interrogation? "
"Old Six's wife, you can arrange it." But his eyes were looking at Li Hongyuan.
Jingwan hurried forward, grabbed Li Hongyuan's arm, and pinched it hard where others could not see. "Your Highness, even if Your Highness is angry with father, it has been a long time. Besides, father was considering the overall situation. In father's heart, you must be the most cherished. Your Highness, don't you think …"
Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan, and his eyes slowly became lively. Jingwan also heard most of the words. She forced herself to close her eyes, and then looked at Le Chengdi, and said coldly, "It's good that father is fine." The subtle change in the process could not be discovered by people who were not familiar with Li Hongyuan.
"You're done with just one sentence. Why don't you help father to rest and treat his wound?" Jingwan seemed to push him angrily.
Li Hongyuan wanted to say that he could go to hell. But he knew that Jingwan was trying her best to cover up and whitewash it all for him. How could he ruin everything based on his mood?
So, Le Chengdi saw his son coming over reluctantly and unconsciously smiled. His courage seemed to have recovered. Before Li Hongyuan reached out to help him, he grabbed Li Hongyuan's arm. Li Hongyuan restrained himself and did not shake him off. He was in a bad mood now. It was as if he had just come back and wanted to destroy everything, but he had to pretend. It was incomparably sullen.
"Yu Zhongqing, you go and guard the three assassins. Wait for the Blackguard to come and take them. During this time, no one is allowed to touch them. I have Old Six here, so there is no need to worry about my safety. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Zhongqing responded respectfully. He took the three assassins and threw them into the nearest private room, guarding the door like door gods.
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan stayed by Le Chengdi's side and let Gong Jiu apply medicine to him. The others were responsible for comforting the people.
However, the emperor was assassinated. No matter who the original target was, since Le Chengdi encountered the assassin, he was the one who was assassinated. Naturally, the manor had to be temporarily sealed off. However, after such a thing happened, it was obvious that people were also in a state of panic. So many people had to be arranged to ask Le Chengdi about it.
"Since the assassins have been caught and killed, they should do what they should do. I'm still here. What's there to be afraid of?"
Le Chengdi was tough at this moment, as if he had completely forgotten who was the one who was scared to death before.
"Your Highness, is the Feng Shui of our horse farm not good? This time, there are always problems." Jingwan muttered to Li Hongyuan as if complaining.
"The bad thing is the human heart. It has nothing to do with Feng Shui." Li Hongyuan glanced at Jingwan lightly.
Jingwan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
It was just that the speaker "didn't mean it", but the listener took it seriously. The thing that happened to the Bai family last time also happened here. In Le Chengdi's heart, he also knew that in fact, someone framed him. He couldn't find out the truth, so he suppressed it and didn't continue to investigate. Then this time, who would dare to directly make a move against him? Could it be that the assassination attempt was also fake, but another trap? Of course, it would be even better if he could really die.
Le Chengdi clenched his back teeth. This time, he must find out the truth and not let it go.
Therefore, this was the fundamental difference between a threat to his life and not. Previously, even if he knew that Li Hongyuan was framed, he still thought that it was fine if he couldn't find out the truth. But now, he must find out the truth. If he really found out the truth, he probably wouldn't be lenient.
Le Chengdi's injury was not serious. There was only a long but not deep wound. Because of the poison, he would be in danger after a certain period of time. Fortunately, it was not difficult for Gong Jiu. After detoxifying the poison, he would be fine after taking a few more doses of medicine. It was not a big problem.
Li Hongyuan proposed to send Le Chengdi back, but Le Chengdi was calm. "Since I'm here to watch the horse race, how can I leave without watching a single race?" He waved his hand and sat there to watch the horse race. He wanted to personally experience the warm atmosphere of being sought after.
"It's improper to shout and shout." Le Chengdi said, but his eyes gradually became excited.
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan sat behind. They looked at each other and didn't say anything. This was nothing. The influence of the assassination had weakened a lot.
Li Hongyuan seemed to be bored and played with Jingwan's fingers. He didn't care whether Le Chengdi would suddenly turn around and see it or not.
Jingwan struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She could only let him be.
The Blackguard came quickly. Le Chengdi didn't give the order to keep it a secret. So, soon, everyone who should know knew.
Le Chengdi trusted the Blackguard the most. Since they said they would escort him back, Le Chengdi naturally wouldn't say anything.
Li Hongyuan wanted to go back with him, but Le Chengdi refused. If the assassination hadn't happened, he would be happy to cultivate his son's feelings. Now, he didn't have time. It was more important to deal with the matter first. "You can go to the palace to see me in a few days. You haven't been there for a long time."
Li Hongyuan responded indifferently.
As soon as they left, Li Hongyuan no longer concealed his emotions. His entire being seemed to be shrouded in a vicious aura, looking quite terrifying. It was no wonder that he was so angry. Someone dared to attack Jingwan under his nose. It was already his limit to not chop that person into minced meat. It was enough to show that he still had some control over killing people in front of others. Otherwise, with his current appearance, no matter how blind Le Chengdi was, he would still have some doubts.
Jingwan had no choice but to be patient and appease him. Others couldn't get close to him at all.
When Li Hongyuan calmed down, the day's competition was all over.
Jingwan knew that Li Hongyuan was not normal, but this was mostly caused by psychological factors. She asked Gong Jiu if it was possible to use drugs to control it. According to Gong Jiu, other people might be able to, but on Li Hongyuan, it wouldn't have any effect. Moreover, this kind of emotion couldn't be completely let out. It couldn't be completely suppressed by perseverance. It was appropriate to vent, and at the same time to vent, one must know how to control it. As for the degree of recovery … … they didn't even know the source. Naturally, there was no way to talk about it.
Jingwan knew. Obviously, it could only be done slowly. When her "death" was over, when everything was settled, when he slowly let go of the knot in his heart, it would probably be fine.
"Wangfei, why don't we sort out the people in the manor?"
"Sorting them out naturally needs to be done, but it can only be done for show. We can't clean them all up."
Jin Qinwang's residence and manor were like iron buckets. It would be strange if it didn't arouse suspicion. Therefore, the horse farm was like a sieve. It was completely the result of them letting it go. But there were too many loopholes and there would always be mistakes from time to time. It was really annoying. In this kind of situation, the shadow guards and imperial bodyguards of Jin Qinwang's residence were quite dissatisfied. However, if everything was cleaned up, it would obviously be more troublesome. Moreover, it would be a big trouble. In contrast, it might be better to maintain the status quo.
Although they weren't afraid of something, if nothing happened, it would naturally be more relaxed.
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of trouble, dislike trouble.
But at this time, they didn't need to sort it out. Le Chengdi was assassinated in the manor, and it was someone in the horse farm. Of course, everyone in the manor was within the scope of investigation. Because of Li Hongyuan's indulgence, the Blackguard would definitely be able to find a lot of good information this time. In this way, the master behind these people wouldn't be able to blame Li Hongyuan.
But, who was the assassination target this time? Was it really Jingwan?
The person bumped into Le Chengdi and was taken away by the Blackguard. There was no way to interrogate, so naturally, they couldn't be sure for the time being. However, it was only temporary. The things that Li Hongyuan wanted to know, unless everyone was dead and there were no clues again, he would definitely find them out.
After a preliminary investigation, the Blackguard had already found a lot of problematic people and then directly reported to Le Chengdi.
After Le Chengdi saw it, he felt sorry for his son. With a wave of his hand, he sent people over. These problematic people were all returned to their original masters as a warning.
At the same time, Le Chengdi also sent people to pass a message to Li Hongyuan. Those who were not pleasing to the eye, they should all be pulled out.
— — Benwang has nothing to hide. As long as they work for Benwang obediently, Benwang doesn't care about their origin.
These words were brought back to Le Chengdi as they were. Le Chengdi felt sorry and sad again.
In his opinion, Li Hongyuan was really a good son. There were many things that could prove this point. For example, the antidote that Gong Jiu gave him. After he returned to the palace, he asked the imperial doctor about it. In fact, it was just a sedative. Obviously, it was because he was frightened. His son was so considerate that he didn't publicize it at all, saving his face.
The "misunderstanding" was getting deeper and deeper. If Le Chengdi fully knew the truth in the future, what kind of expression would he have? She was really looking forward to it.
"Where does the Emperor get the confidence that there are no spies among the people he sent? Or, are his own spies not spies? " Jingwan felt that Le Chengdi sometimes seemed to be a little self-confident. He thought that he had full control over his court, harem, and the entire country. Sometimes, he clearly felt something, but when he looked back, he seemed to forget it. It was as if everything had returned to his hands. Was he deceiving himself, or was it that even so, it didn't matter as long as he still had absolute control over all his sons' glory and wealth?
Not to mention other things, there was a problem with the eunuchs around him. It would have been better if they didn't investigate. After this investigation, more than one person revealed that he left the palace in disguise. Not to mention how many third parties knew about it in a short period of time. Except for the chief steward who had always been by his side, the others were all sent to the Department of Cautious Punishment and died without surviving the torture.
It was already like this. Did he still think that the people he sent to his sons were "good"?
The Blackguard's interrogation originally thought that the results would be out quickly. However, they underestimated the tough bones of these few assassins. The Blackguard's torture instruments that made people tremble with fear were used on them, but they still couldn't make them speak. Moreover, they died in there after only two days. It wasn't that they couldn't survive the torture, but they were poisoned to death.
Obviously, there was a loophole in the Blackguard. It could be imagined how furious Le Chengdi was. He had always regarded the Blackguard as the sharpest sword in his hand, and he had absolute control over it, ordering it as he wished. However, reality slapped him hard in the face. "Investigate, investigate, investigate thoroughly!"
Other than this, Le Chengdi probably couldn't say anything else.
In this way, the originally majestic Blackguard was also covered in dirt. The only one who wasn't affected was probably Li Suyan. The Commander of the Blackguard originally knew that Li Suyan would take over his position. He had always handed over everything to Li Suyan. He was also happy and relaxed. Although there wouldn't be any merit, he wouldn't offend more people. Who knew that this time, Le Chengdi specifically handed over the matter to him. Well, when something happened, he was directly scolded by Le Chengdi like a dog.
Li Suyan had dealt with many big and small matters. She had always been fine. In the end, when it came to him, something went wrong. How tragic!
The problem now was that the few people guarding the assassins were also dead. The clues were naturally cut off. There were so many people in the Blackguard. It was impossible to interrogate them one by one. If that was the case, not only would the Blackguard's prestige be ruined, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
Le Chengdi only wanted results. Would he listen to such an explanation? If that was the case, the Commander of the Blackguard would probably lose his integrity in his later years. He would have to go to the Blackguard's prison himself.
The Commander of the Blackguard wiped his face and looked at Li Suyan with a slightly cold gaze. It was absolutely impossible to say that he didn't have any opinions about this subordinate. No one was still fine. The position under their buttocks had already been reserved by someone else. In order to smoothly get the position, they had to make way and pave the way for him. No matter how much "joy in hardship", it couldn't erase the resentment and unwillingness in their hearts.
Li Suyan stood upright with a knife at his waist. He lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. At any time, he was very respectful to this superior and never overstepped his boundaries.
However, this attitude made the Commander of the Blackguard even angrier because he couldn't vent his anger. If he gave the other party any face, it would be his fault. It was fine if the Blackguard looked at him with a "you're being unreasonable" gaze. If he wasn't careful, he would be called by the Emperor. A "do you have any opinions about this?" was enough to make him want to vomit blood.
Most of the time, the Commander of the Blackguard thought that Li Suyan did it on purpose to put him in such an embarrassing situation.
Whether it was intentional or not, only Li Suyan himself knew.
"Ah Yuan, who do you think poisoned those assassins to death?" Jingwan fiddled with a gorgeous flower casually.
"Who? Of course it's me. "Li Hongyuan answered matter-of-factly.
Jingwan turned to look at him subconsciously. Her eyes were filled with astonishment. "You're not joking?"
Li Hongyuan glanced at her indifferently. "Why would I joke about such a boring matter with you?"
"But, why?" Jingwan didn't understand.
"Wan Wan, who do you think those assassins came for?"
"It can't really be me, right?" Jingwan frowned. When did she have such value that even assassins were sent out? "The main goal is to kill you.
It's best if they succeed. If they don't succeed, kill as many as they can and create chaos. Anyway, they're just causing trouble for us. In the end, someone was unlucky and ran into them. The assassins have no value, so there's no need to keep them. Let him believe that the assassins came for him. What's wrong with that? "
Jingwan looked at the sky, the earth, the flowers, and everything. In the end, her gaze fell on a certain person. Alright, if you think it's good, then it's good. Anyway, everyone can take the blame for you. Everyone can be schemed against by you. I was schemed against by you more than ten years ago. I was cheated by you. Now, it's just a continuation.
"It's not easy to kill people in the Blackguard's prison. Who's working for you?"
"Li Suyan killed them. However, it's not considered working for me. At most, it's just a deal."
This answer seemed to be unexpected. Thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be surprising. There seemed to be some signs last year in Jiangnan.
"As far as I know, Li Suyan is his adopted son in name. However, after returning from Jiangnan, I found out something else. He's actually our biological brother. Usually, if a man and a woman who aren't husband and wife sleep together, it's considered adultery. It's intolerable. However, if an Emperor sleeps with someone else's woman, the man can't be angry. He can't take revenge. He has to take good care of the woman. If she's pregnant, he has to treat the bastard child like an ancestor. If an ordinary adulterous child is exposed, it's an adulterous child. If the adulterous child left behind by the Emperor and another person is exposed, it's a rise in status and he becomes a prince. This is the dignity of the Emperor. He has all the advantages. "
Li Hongyuan's tone was still indifferent, as if he was just stating a fact.
Therefore, a man who was cuckolded by the Emperor was probably the most miserable person in the world. Of course, other than the kind of man who used this kind of thing to get promoted.
For someone like Le Chengdi, a woman's resistance might be seen as a rejection.
"Then, what kind of situation does Li Suyan belong to?"
Since she had already slept with the Emperor, she naturally couldn't get married again. That family had a beautiful dream of becoming a relative of the Emperor, so they forcefully broke off the engagement with the man. The man didn't have any power, so naturally, the matter was left unsettled. However, that man's thoughts were all on the Imperial Noble Consort, who hadn't entered the palace yet. How could he care about other people? Moreover, he was unilaterally pledging his love to the Imperial Noble Consort. That kind of thing would hinder his relationship with the Imperial Noble Consort, so it was impossible for him to admit it. That family was transferred out of the capital. After a few years, Li Suyan came back alone. His mother left the family after leaving the capital. She raised him until he was a few years old before sending him back. After that, she disappeared. Li Suyan stayed in the family for a few years. One night, the family was robbed. Other than Li Suyan, who escaped, everyone else died. Because he knew his background, he returned to the capital alone. After all, he was still a child. How could he survive outside? "
As a local official, he lived in the county. The city gates were closed at night. Why did the robbers pick on this family?
It was terrifying to think about! Jingwan was shocked. "Li Suyan, he …"
Li Hongyuan smiled indifferently. "Who knows? In my previous life, when I forced the Emperor to abdicate, Li Suyan was there. He chose to stand aside and watch. Or rather, he opened the door for me. Regarding this, I had my doubts before. However, I wasn't interested in finding out the answer. Now, I pretty much know. "
"The only soft spot in his heart should be his mother. Is this related to your deal?"
"She's already dead. It's just that she died earlier than he expected. It's only been a few years. We've already found the location of her grave."
"His only concern is gone. This person …"
"Cold and heartless. He took care of the assassins and the prison guards. Those people, to a certain extent, were his brothers who went through fire and water with him. If he didn't kill them, they probably wouldn't give him up. On the contrary, if he wanted to, he could even help them clear their names. "
"But he used the most cold-blooded and violent method." It was said that even the coldest person had a soft spot in his heart. Only then could he be called a person. Li Suyan could no longer be called a person. Moreover, he abandoned everything. "Ah Yuan, it's best that you don't use such a person. After all …"
"He doesn't want to die yet. Li Suyan is cold and heartless. He doesn't have any desires. He won't meddle in things that have nothing to do with him. He's not cynical and wants to kill at the drop of a hat. He only lives for the sake of living. I'm afraid he doesn't have much hatred for the one on the throne. The things he did in his previous life were probably just because he didn't have any feelings for that man. "
Jingwan was speechless. She really didn't know how to evaluate such a person.
"In my previous life, after I became the Emperor, I made him the commander of the Blackguard. To be honest, he was very useful."
"So, you actually still want to do this?"
"Probably."
In his previous life, he was used to help you wipe out the family. What was he going to do in this life?
"I think that Wan Wan might face some obstacles in the future. Li Suyan should be able to come in handy when the time comes. Now, he's just in case."
Jingwan pulled her face. "Then I really have to thank you." He thought so far ahead. She didn't want to make any big changes. Was there a need to use violence to suppress the situation?
"You're welcome. It's my duty to support my wife in her work." Li Hongyuan nodded seriously.
Jingwan was speechless. It was useless to talk about this. "Who's the one who's going through so much trouble to kill me?"
"What does Wan Wan think?"
Jingwan thought for a moment. "Even if it's someone who has a grudge against me, it doesn't seem like they want me dead?"
"Who told you that you have to have a reason to kill someone before you can kill someone? Wan Wan, it's not right for you to always think this way. We were just talking about Li Suyan. To some people, as long as there's a little obstacle, even if it's a small stone, it can be a reason to kill. "
So, the so-called law was targeted at a certain group of people. She still couldn't accept it, but her heart was still calm. "I'm your Princess Consort after all. The first person who has a grudge against me, dares to do it, and has the ability to do it, is your adoptive mother, Imperial Consort Su."
Li Hongyuan got up and walked to Jingwan's side. He patted her head. "See, you're so smart. Why do you have to be so silly sometimes?"
Jingwan slapped him and sneered. "Then it's really hard on you to marry a Princess Consort who's always being silly."
"It's not hard on you. You're my wife. It's okay even if you're a little silly. I can handle it. So, it's really fine."
Jingwan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This man was always infuriating. The number of times she had suffered in his hands was more than the sum of the times in her previous life. But, if he made you angry, this man was used to coaxing people, so you couldn't be angry. If you hardened your heart and wanted to give him the cold shoulder, he could make other troubles.
So, quarreling was quarreling. After quarreling, it was fine. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be like this for the rest of their lives. Although it would always be a "meal", it didn't seem to be a bad thing. Who asked this man to be paranoid and overbearing like a child? If she didn't spoil and give in to him, what else could she do?
Jingwan's anger came and went quickly. "Then, can I say that the incident with the Bai Family last time was actually her doing?"
"Indeed, that woman knows my situation the best, but she's also the one who's most afraid of me."
"Then what should we do now? How are you going to deal with it?"
"When Li Hongming's child is born, we'll kill them all. At that time, the war should be relatively stable. Now, we'll completely destroy the Su Family." Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan. "Sorry, Wan Wan, I can't immediately kill that woman to avenge you. Although there's a way to make that woman fall, it's far from enough. If you want pain, you have to make her go crazy. You have to make her live a life worse than death. "Li Hongyuan's voice was full of ruthlessness.
"It's fine. Let's take it slow. I believe that you won't let me suffer the slightest bit of harm. Moreover, your Imperial Father is not a trustworthy person. To deal with some people, we can't pin our hopes on him. We still need to do it ourselves and ruthlessly trample on them, making them unable to climb back up."
That's right. This was the real reason why Li Hongyuan didn't rush to deal with Imperial Consort Su even though she had lost her value. Le Chengdi wasn't trustworthy. When he was still in power, he had to be prepared to be "cheated" by him at any time. Even if he trampled on someone, he had to be prepared for it to become useless soon.
However, it didn't matter to deal with the Su Family.
The next day, a low-level official in the capital went directly to the Supreme Court to sue the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Mingzhang, for murdering his son and inhumane.
Although the Minister of the Supreme Court wasn't as high as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, cases that weren't ordered by the Emperor were basically major cases.
Once it reached the Supreme Court, it wasn't a small matter. Moreover, the current Minister of the Supreme Court was an upright and impartial person when it came to cases. Ordinary people, even high-ranking officials, wouldn't want to cause trouble in the Supreme Court.
If it was someone else, it might be delayed. However, in the hands of the Fifth Taiqing, it was immediately accepted.
At this time, it didn't matter if Su Mingzhang's position was higher than his. If he was summoned for questioning, he had to obediently take off his official robes and go. At most, he didn't have to kneel. If he didn't go, then sorry, but the Fifth Taiqing could directly send people to arrest him. At that time, it would be even more embarrassing.
Under everyone's strange gazes, Su Mingzhang's expression was still calm and he appeared to be neither fast nor slow. However, he was the one who did it after all. After so long, it was suddenly exposed. He also didn't dare to be sure that he had cleaned up all the loose ends. Therefore, he still felt guilty in his heart.
Whether it was Noble Consort Su or Prince Rui, they were both shocked and angry when they found out about this.
In particular, Noble Consort Su almost couldn't catch her breath. She had racked her brains over and over again and used up a lot of her trump cards, but she failed again and again. Now that Su Mingzhang was in trouble, it basically meant that the Su family no longer had any manpower that could be used. She felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife over and over again, bleeding profusely.
She only hated that her adopted son's luck was so good that he could easily escape again and again.
Thinking about it, the Bai family's only son was stolen by the mistress of the family. Others didn't know, but he just happened to find out. This time, even if he couldn't kill that little bitch Madam Luo, it would still be a big problem. However, the Emperor was out on an inspection tour and all the assassins were killed. She was believed to have assassinated the Emperor and lost many of her men. It could only be described as lucky.
In fact, if it were anyone else, they would think that Li Hongyuan was lucky and not prepared for a rainy day. After all, rebirth was something that few people would think of if they didn't personally encounter it.
Even so, Noble Consort Su still had a strong sense of uneasiness. It was as if she was being held in the hand of an invisible hand that blocked and hindered her every move.
Noble Consort Su's health was actually getting worse. In the past six months, more than half of her hair had turned white and was falling out very badly. Many of her hair buns couldn't be combed anymore. The reason why it couldn't be seen was because she dyed it every day and used a lot of filler every time.
"Someone, go get Prince Rui." Noble Consort Su held the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but her hands trembled so much that the lid of the teacup clanked against the cup. She hurriedly put down the cup and clenched her hands tightly, hiding them in her sleeves. She didn't want anyone to see. She didn't want to admit that she had aged so much.
However, she could hide her situation from others, but how could she hide it from the people around her? The palace servants who served her were very distressed. But now that the Jade Essence Palace no longer favored her and Noble Consort Su's temper was getting worse and worse, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, the words of a lowly person didn't carry much weight. One wrong move and they might even lose their lives.
Prince Rui came very openly. After all, he was also at a loss and couldn't sit still in the current situation.
"Yes …"
"Enough. Look at the situation now. The Supreme Court is only summoning his name and won't detain him. When he goes back, tell him that if he can't do it, he can admit to the crime. However, he can't prove that he took the initiative to kill someone and that it was someone else who set him up. "
"But Mother, even so, I'm afraid that he still can't keep his official position. The related people have already been dealt with. It shouldn't be …"
"There's no such thing as' shouldn't be. 'At the beginning, we suspected that everything wasn't just the result of that woman's revenge. Now that the matter has been uncovered, it's obvious that this point has been confirmed. Since someone deliberately set him up, there must be evidence. It's impossible for it to be dealt with by you. In addition, the matter of you helping to clean up the mess can't be exposed. When the time comes, we'll do our best to reduce his crime. "
"Mother, in this case, won't the outer family …"
"When you sit in that position, it's just a matter of saying a word to reverse the case. If you get involved, then it's really hopeless. The Emperor won't do anything to you, but he will be strict with your name. Tell them clearly that at this time, they should be sober and don't be muddle-headed." Even if she was really "old", Noble Consort Su was still very clear-headed.
