After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Xiao Yu slightly curled his lips, but his face was still indifferent and distant, "My subordinates are just doing business at the gate of the mansion, why would they specially welcome you?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu avoided the topic, the suspicion in his heart made him even more upset.

Xiao Yu has time to waste, but he doesn't.

Chaohua is dead, and nothing can happen to my fourth brother no matter what!

The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of my fourth brother. It won’t be too late to deal with Chaohua’s matter after we find him!

Li Mao suppressed his panic and tried to maintain his calmness, saying, "I heard on the street that Prince Su and his wife were assassinated on West Street last night, and the princess was frightened and fell ill. I am very curious, I wonder if Prince Su can tell us what happened last night!"

Xiao Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea calmly, and said, "It's just a bunch of petty thieves making a small fuss. There's nothing to say."

Yan Qing, who was standing next to Xiao Yu, could see Li Mao's expression clearly.

Xiao Yu kept silent again and again, and it seemed that his patience was about to be exhausted.

At this moment, his chiseled face was tense, and his big, bony hands were clenched into fists, with the joints turning white, as if they would explode at any time.

Isn't it the prince's job to lure Li Mao to solve the assassination in the inn?

Yan Qing didn't understand why the prince didn't say a word now that Li Mao was here.

Li Mao was on the verge of exploding.

But there was still no news about Li Jue. No one saw him alive or dead. He had to suppress the anger in his heart.

Xiao Yu seemed not to notice Li Mao's anger, and casually fiddled with the teacup in his hand, "Why did the eldest prince come to my palace today?"

Why?

Of course it was for his younger brother, Li Jue.

Xiao Yu remained silent about the assassination last night. It was obvious that he knew what I wanted to know, but refused to say it.

why?

How can I get him to speak and tell me where Li Jue is? !

Li Mao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "As long as Prince Su tells me what happened last night, I will agree to whatever you want."

Xiao Yu put down the teacup and looked up at Li Mao, a distant smile on his well-defined face, "Prince, do you think there is anything missing in this palace?"

He seems to have no shortage of wealth, status, and power!

The panic that could not be controlled forced Li Mao to put aside his pride and self-esteem. He asked in a pleading tone: "How can Prince Su tell me what happened last night? As long as Prince Su tells me, I can do anything!"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Since the eldest prince is so sincere, it is not impossible for me to tell you."

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Li Mao's face showed an unconcealable joy!

"Please tell Prince Su!" he said excitedly.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to speak, Butler Wu spoke at the entrance of the hall, "Prince's ginger tea is here, shall we bring it in?"

Xiao Yu said: "Come in!"

Li Mao was extremely anxious, but Prince Su wanted to drink tea, and he couldn't spoil his mood, so he had to suppress his excitement and sit there.

Butler Wu took the tray from the servant, handed it to Xiao Yu, placed it on the table next to him, and poured Xiao Yu a cup of ginger tea.

Xiao Yu took a sip and said calmly: "This tea is brewed well. Pour a cup for the eldest prince as well!"

"Yes!"

Butler Wu responded by pouring another cup of ginger tea and handed it to Li Mao.

Although Li Mao had no intention of drinking tea, Xiao Yu had someone pour it for him, so he had to drink it.

Li Mao took the tea handed to him by Butler Wu and began to sip it as if he were drinking water.

After taking a sip, Li Mao praised: "The tea in Prince Su's mansion is really good."

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, he heard a chuckle.

Li Mao looked over in the direction of the voice with displeasure, and saw Yan Qing lowering his head and pursing his lips, trying hard not to laugh.

He looked at Xiao Yu again. There was no expression on Xiao Yu's face, nor did he have any intention of scolding or punishing Yan Qing. He just drank his tea.

"Prince Su, are you letting a servant humiliate me?!" Li Mao couldn't stand it anymore and questioned Xiao Yu angrily.

Hearing this, Yan Qing quickly stopped laughing and explained, "My Lord, I really don't mean to offend you. It's just that we have all drunk this ginger tea before, and no one thinks it tastes good except Your Majesty! It's really rare to find someone who shares the same taste as Your Majesty!"

"That's true." Xiao Yu agreed lightly.

In fact, although he had no intention of tasting it, Li Mao still had the taste of ginger tea remaining in his mouth. It was not really delicious!

But in this situation, he had to say something against his will!

Seeing that Xiao Yu also said so, giving him a way out, and he needed help from others, he could only let go of the anger in his heart!

Li Mao nodded and said, "Your Highness Prince Su, I am really anxious to know what happened last night. Please don't hesitate to tell me!"

Xiao Yu fiddled with the lid of the cup and said calmly, "What happened last night happened suddenly. I need to sort it out. Please sit for a while, Your Highness."

Li Mao's anger was aroused again, but Xiao Yu had already agreed to tell him, so he gritted his teeth and waited to see what Xiao Yu wanted to do.

Outside the palace gate, Xiao Changshi, Duan Xu, and Han Feng, along with two teams of imperial guards and two teams of soldiers from the Dali Temple, stopped at the gate of Prince Su's palace.

Xiao Changshi dismounted and walked towards the palace gate, followed closely by Duan Xu and Han Feng.

When the servant saw that it was Xiao Changshi, he knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Changshi glanced at him and asked in a cold voice, "Are Prince Su and Princess Su here?"

The servant said, "Your Highness, the prince and princess are both in the palace, but the princess is seriously ill and is looking for a doctor to treat her."

Xiao Changshi had already heard the whole story from the coachman left by Li Mao at Donghuamen, and also knew the situation in Prince Su's Mansion.

Although she didn't know what happened last night, no matter whether Su Lingyue was terminally ill or incurable, she and Xiao Yu would go to the prison of Dali Temple!

The two of them used their status and position to bully him.

Today, he will trample on the faces of these two people in front of the people of the capital, and let the people see that the once noble Prince Su and Princess Su are now just ants that he can trample on!

Xiao Changshi had a sneer on his face and said, "Go in and tell them that Su Lingyue, the wife of Prince Su, assassinated Princess Chaohua of Xiliang. I have been ordered to come here to bring Prince Su and his wife to interrogate them!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will report to you right away!"

The servant didn't understand what was going on. When he heard that the princess had killed someone and that the prince and princess were going to be thrown into jail, he was so scared that he trembled all over.

If something happened to the prince or princess, these maids and servants would probably have a hard time too!

Li Mao stared at Xiao Yu closely, his eyes filled with deep anger.

Xiao Yu seemed unaware and just drank the ginger tea elegantly.

"My Lord, this is bad!"

The servant stumbled into the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has brought a group of people to the gate of the palace, saying that the princess killed Princess Chaohua, and they are coming to take you away for interrogation!"

"What?" Butler Wu walked up to the servant in disbelief and asked, "Did you hear it wrong?"

The servant raised his head tremblingly and said, "Butler Wu, the prince said that he is at the gate of the mansion now, holding the imperial edict!"

"Your Highness, this..." Steward Wu looked at Xiao Yu helplessly.

Xiao Yu put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Go and have a look!"

He turned to look at Li Mao and said helplessly, "The eldest prince has also heard it. The prince and his wife are sitting in the palace, and disaster has come from the sky! Someone slandered the princess for killing Princess Chaohua. The prince must go to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to argue with them. The eldest prince, please go back! I can only tell you about what happened last night when I come back!"

Li Mao stood up angrily, "Tell me, where is Li Jue?"

Xiao Yu looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Someone has slandered the princess for murder. I must deal with it. If you can wait, I will tell you after I finish my business. If you can't wait, please do as you please!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

What will happen to my fourth brother if he leaves?

Thinking of Qingxuan's words about seeing three shocking pools of blood, he felt extremely panicked.

My fourth brother doesn't know Kung Fu, and there's a high probability that he has it! Now that his life or death is uncertain, how can I wait!

"and many more!"

Li Mao strode in front of Xiao Yu and blocked his way. The two men, who were similar in size, faced each other.

Li Mao stared at Xiao Yu's cold and distant eyes, and for no reason he felt a little weak.

In terms of momentum, Xiao Yu was clearly slightly better.

Li Mao's throat rolled, and he held his body strong, so as not to retreat under Xiao Yu's pressure, and asked coldly, "Did you kill Chao Hua?"

Xiao Yu looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you think? We have no grudges against each other, so why should we kill her?"

Li Mao sneered, "Who said there is no grudge? Chao Hua bumped into your princess on the street that day, and your princess broke her arm!"

Xiao Yu said: "Then it is clear. My princess is well-educated and sensible, and she is never a rude and unreasonable person."

Li Mao asked again: "The dagger that killed Chaohua was the one she used to stab Chaohua's horse to death. How do you explain that?"

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "The princess threw away the dagger on the spot because she thought it was dirty after using it. Besides, do you think that if the king and the princess wanted to kill someone, they would leave the dagger at the scene for you to testify against?"

Li Mao understood what Xiao Yu meant.

Indeed, when you think about it, this is a very poorly planned game.

The same dagger, the same person, the original owner of the dagger happened to be identified in the inn!

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences!

"Do you know where my fourth brother is?" Li Mao asked, his voice and momentum obviously much lower than before.

"I know." Xiao Yu replied calmly.

"Do you know who killed Chaohua?"

"know."

Looking into Xiao Yu's eyes, Li Mao saw calmness and composure in his eyes.

He was clearly the crown prince of Xiliang, but in front of him, he felt a little panicked by the oppressive feeling emanating from him.

Li Mao thought that no matter what, a man like him would never use such a crude method to kill people.

He said, "I'll make a deal with you. I'll clear things up for you and you tell me everything."

The goal was achieved. Xiao Yu curled his lips slightly and gave an affirmative answer, "Deal."

Looking at Xiao Yu, Li Mao felt that these eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

He finally understood now.

Xiao Yu has been avoiding the topic, perhaps just waiting for this moment to force him to say this sentence himself!

This man felt nervous as he looked at someone of the same age as him who was so thoughtful.

This kind of person cannot be an enemy!
