Chapter 191 The Pain in My Heart

Seeing that the person in front of him was still eloquently defending himself, Lin Siyan just picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Su, it's useless for you to talk to Gu about these things now. Is there anyone who can stand up to you? Let’s open this scroll and have a look.”

Prime Minister Su's mouth, which was still eloquent, suddenly froze, and his body broke out in a cold sweat.If it was the first emperor who was sitting in front of him at this moment, he might just laugh it off and stop worrying about himself.After all, there are not many people who can be trusted in the female emperor's court, so they can only turn a blind eye to her behavior.

But now Lin Siyan in front of her doesn't seem to have such worries, she just pointed out her ambition and power lightly, as if she has already seen everything clearly.

Prime Minister Su gritted his teeth. She has been in the officialdom for more than 30 years and has gone through three emperors. Could it be that she is still afraid of this yellow-haired girl? !
Thinking of this, her heart thumped, she reached for the scroll, and opened it with a snap.

She looked from the beginning to the end of the parchment, and the more she looked at it, the more ugly her face became. After a long while, she threw the scroll on the table and cursed: "It's a bunch of nonsense! Your Majesty, don't you believe that this paper is full of absurdity?" Say it?!"

Lin Siyan looked at her calmly, and asked, "Why doesn't Gu believe it? In black and white, the names of my mother, Prime Minister Su, your name and the seals of the two of you are clearly written on it. This is not evidence ?"

Prime Minister Su was taken aback, and all his strength seemed to be taken away instantly: "Is Your Majesty going to settle old accounts with my minister?"

Seeing her dejected look, Lin Siyan didn't show any sympathy: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Su, if you want to turn over the old score, wouldn't Gu have to ask the late Queen Mother? Gu is not so courageous yet. I just want to know, what is the map in this secret letter that mentions that the Han family will be wiped out?"

Prime Minister Su suddenly heard this name that he hadn't heard for many years, and was stunned for a moment: "The map is a family heirloom of the Han family. The generals of the Han family have fought in all directions, and they have a good understanding of the terrain and landforms of various places." It was clear, so their ancestors recorded these landforms, mountains, rivers and currents during the march, and compiled it into such a wonderful book. According to legend, those who get this book can know the appearance of the world, and the unification of the country is just around the corner.”

Lin Siyan sneered in his heart, he was so godlike, the Han family had already supported themselves as king, how could it be their turn to sit on the throne of Tianji today?

"So? This book is in the hands of the Han family, but the Han family didn't feel disobedient towards Tianji just because they held this book in their hands. Why did you and the Queen Mother want to destroy their family?"

Prime Minister Su showed a wry smile: "Your Majesty, do you know the reason why everyone is innocent and pregnant with jade? This map is the original sin of the Han family..."

"Back then, the late emperor, the Patriarch of the Han family, and his ministers were classmates and close friends, as close as sisters. It's just that all of this changed after the late emperor ascended the throne."

"Although she didn't say anything, she still treated her ministers and General Han with courtesy and a smile on her face. But we all know that the first emperor was afraid of the two of us. There are scruples about rights, so I dare not act rashly."

"The first emperor said that she has been guarding against us powerful subjects. We are not afraid one day, for fear that one day we close our eyes, and the next day our family will be ruined and our heads will be in a different place."

When Prime Minister Su said this, his eyes were sparkling, as if he really recalled the most glorious and fearful period, and she was really moved.

"That day, I still can't forget it until now. The late emperor announced me to enter the palace at midnight. I thought it was a grand banquet at that time. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of the palace alive..."

"But I never expected that the first emperor just handed me a piece of parchment, yes, it is the one in front of me now. Her seal has already been stamped on it, and the other blank space, she said It was left to me."

"I read the above content from beginning to end tremblingly, and the first thing I felt in my heart was not fear, but a kind of hopeless sadness. In order to get the map of the Han family, the former emperor actually wanted to attack General Han. .”

"You don't need to sign," the empress said coldly, "but don't forget, as long as General Han is here, you will be oppressed by her, and you will never stand up."

"Actually, I had some unpleasant troubles with General Han recently. The relationship was indeed a little tense, but I didn't intend to kill her family. I know that she has a younger brother who has married into the Gu family and gave birth to a boy. Shu'er is almost the same age...how could I do it?"

"But you still made a move, didn't you?" Lin Siyan looked at her unbearable and extremely remorseful appearance, and said sarcastically.

Su Chengxiang smiled, but the smile was uglier than crying, she wiped her eyes that were not clear enough, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, if you were in such an environment, you would do the same as me. "

"This is obviously the first emperor's naked hint. If I don't follow, it will not be the Han family that will be exterminated, but my Su family. Anyway, the original intention of the first emperor is to remove a thorn in his side. Who is this person? I don't care. It's just that the Han family blocked me for the first time because they have the jade map."

"I have no room to refuse, so I know that even if I signed my name there and affixed my seal, the result is to form an alliance with the former emperor by default and kill my former friend together, I still did it. Just because of my poor selfishness, I can't die, I want to live."

That night was the night when Prime Minister Su was torn apart and reborn.From that moment on, she realized that if she didn't hold enough rights to protect herself and the whole family, then the Su family might be the next Han family.

After returning to Su's house, she changed her usual lenient and loving attitude towards the only eldest son, and began to train him with the etiquette requirements of a queen. Shu'er, don't blame your mother, only by working hard to climb up can we be in the same place. Survive inside this cruel imperial city.

But gradually, she found that she lost the patience and care she had for Shu'er. All she could think about was how to maximize Shu'er's value.

Therefore, Prime Minister Su's scramble for power overtly and covertly afterwards aroused the Empress's further fear.
