Xiao Changshi, together with the commander of the imperial guards Han Feng, and the Dali Temple Minister Duan Xu, led four teams of soldiers and stood at the gate of Prince Su's mansion in a grand manner.

Han Feng looked at the gate of the palace. An incense stick of time had passed, but Xiao Yu still hadn't come out.

"Your Highness, would you like to go in and take a look?" Han Feng walked up to Xiao Changshi and reminded him softly.

Xiao Changshi sneered, his face full of pride, "It's rare for Prince Su's Palace to be granted an imperial edict, so of course it must be read out at the gate of the palace!"

Han Feng looked at Xiao Changshi's sanctimonious appearance, and calmly hid the contempt in his eyes, and said: "Your Highness, could Prince Su have escaped through another door? If so, all our efforts will be in vain."

It’s better to run!

He can just issue a nationwide wanted order, and then he can do a lot of things!

Han Feng made suggestions in the palace and asked him to be the one to take the lead, so how could he not know what was going on?

Xiao Changshi frowned, glanced at Han Feng and said, "Just in case, please ask Commander Han to go in and tell Prince Su to come out quickly to receive the order!"

Han Feng didn't expect that Xiao Changshi would let him in.

Xiao Yu already had the leverage over him, and today's incident was only possible because he secretly helped Su Heng's killer.

At this moment, Xiao Changshi was asked to openly go against Xiao Yu, and he was really unwilling to do so.

But he couldn't disobey the prince's order in public.

With all the evidence and witnesses involved in the plot to kill Princess Chaohua, Xiao Yu will definitely die!

Thinking that he could get rid of the person who posed a threat to him as soon as possible, Han Feng put aside his worries.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Han Feng bowed respectfully and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Duan Xu couldn't help but take a step back when he saw this scene.

If he had not been in the position of the Grand Court Minister and had not been specifically ordered by His Majesty to come, he would not want to have anything to do with Prince Su at all.

They don’t know how terrifying Prince Su is!

After working diligently for decades, in a few years, you can retire and find a leisurely job to enjoy your retirement in peace.

He has really had enough of the days of living on the edge of a knife and offending people!

Alas! These people just won’t stop!

Han Feng had just taken a few steps when he saw Xiao Yu, neatly dressed in brocade clothes, walking out of the mansion slowly with the help of his followers. After saying a word, the eldest prince of Xiliang, Li Mao, came to Prince Su's mansion in advance!

Since he went in, he must have told Xiao Yu about what happened today.

Before coming, he heard from the coachman that Li Mao had arrived at Prince Su's mansion in advance, and he just thought that Li Mao came to call him to task.

This did not conflict with their plans, so they didn't think too much about it.

However, the two people who just walked out of the mansion looked calm, as if no dispute had occurred!

The servant went in and told Xiao Yu the purpose of the prince's visit. Xiao Yu's face did not show any panic at all. It was full of the indifference and alienation he had seen before, and it also revealed a cold oppression from the superior!

What did they talk about when they met just now? !

Han Feng had a bad feeling in his heart, so he took a few steps back and gave the main seat to Xiao Changshi.

Xiao Changshi also thought that Li Mao had come to cause trouble for Xiao Yu in advance, so he ignored Li Mao directly.

He looked at Xiao Yu, not disguising the pride in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The emperor's uncle is so hard to invite. He dared not come out until an incense stick has passed!"

His words were full of mockery, saying that Xiao Yu was afraid and didn't dare to come out.

Xiao Yu's emotions did not fluctuate at all when he heard this. He said calmly, "The tea in the mansion today is good. I happened to have guests with me, so I drank one more cup."

He took a deep glance at Han Feng and the soldiers behind him, then looked at Xiao Changshi and asked, "I wonder what brought my nephew here with such a big ceremony today?"

Xiao Changshi looked at Xiao Yu's stubborn expression and felt that he must not want to lose face, so he pretended to be calm.

How could anyone remain so calm knowing that he is going to jail?

Xiao Changshi said with a smile, "Here is the imperial edict from His Majesty. The Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Aunt need to receive it together. Where is the Imperial Aunt? Why doesn't she come out?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "The princess is suddenly seriously ill and is being treated by a doctor. She cannot see anyone! The emperor's nephew is reading to me, and it is the same!"

On the way, he also heard about the story of Prince Su's wife being seriously ill and seeking medical treatment. He didn't expect it to be true!

This is even better!

A dying person is easier to control!

It doesn't matter! It's the same even if Xiao Yu is here!

He had the imperial edict in his hand, and now he read it out in public so that everyone could see the dignified Prince Su kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy in public.

He wanted to make Xiao Yu lose all face and never be able to face anyone again, in revenge for how Xiao Yu had humiliated him in public many times!

Xiao Changshi held the imperial edict in both hands and said loudly: "Prince Su Xiao Yu, kneel down and receive the edict!"

"I can listen even when I'm standing!"

Xiao Yu held one hand half-clenched at his waist, his tall figure straight as a pine tree, his cold and jade-like face full of indifference, and he had no intention of kneeling at all.

Xiao Changshi emphasized in a cold voice, "Uncle, this is an imperial decree, how dare you not kneel!"

Xiao Yu remained calm and said with a chuckle, "The long street is cold. I am not feeling well today and should not catch a cold! If my nephew is dissatisfied, I will go to the palace and apologize now!"

It was the first time he read out the imperial edict, and Xiao Yu actually humiliated him like this!

If he inherits the throne one day, Xiao Yu will not take him as the emperor seriously!

He would put a damper on Xiao Yu's arrogance today, tie him up and bring him into the palace, and let his father punish him for defying the imperial edict!

"Somebody come!"

"Your Highness, please let Prince Su stand and listen!"

Before Xiao Changshi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Han Feng who was standing beside him.

"Today's main task is to capture Xiao Yu and put him in the Dali Temple prison. We must not miss the important matter! We will lose the big picture because of the small one!"

Han Feng spoke in a low voice so that Xiao Yu could not hear him.

After Han Feng's reminder, Xiao Changshi finally realized something. He didn't know how he would defend himself when he appeared before the emperor. He must not give him such an opportunity!

Xiao Changshi said nothing more and started reading the imperial edict directly. "The Emperor decrees that the Xiliang envoy Princess Chaohua was assassinated last night. After investigation, it was found that the murder weapon belonged to the wife of Prince Su. First, the Imperial Guards and the Dali Temple will come forward together to put Prince Su Xiao Yu, Princess Su Lingyue, and all the people in the palace into jail, investigate the matter thoroughly, and give Princess Chaohua justice to calm the people's hearts!"

Xiao Changshi closed the imperial edict, looked at Xiao Yu with a smug look on his face, stretched out his hand holding the imperial edict, and said with a smile: "Uncle, accept the edict!"

However, he did not see expressions of panic, fear, worry, or hesitation on Xiao Yu's face.

Xiao Yu's face was still cold and distant, revealing an intimidating pressure that could not be ignored.

He looked at Xiao Changshi and said word by word in a deep voice: "This imperial decree cannot be accepted by me! Because this king and the princess have never assassinated anyone!"

Xiao Changshi smiled proudly and said, "Uncle, we have the witnesses and evidence. You can't argue about this matter. Capture him!"

As he said this, he waved to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to capture Xiao Yu by force.

Xiao Yu was not at all flustered, and said in a cold voice: "I also have witnesses who prove that I am not the murderer of the assassination case!"

"what?"

Xiao Changshi withdrew his hand in disbelief, "Uncle, don't think of escaping the crime by any means necessary. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Forging evidence is an even greater crime!"

Han Feng also looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief. This plan was impeccable and the evidence was sufficient. Where did he get the evidence?

Duan Xu exhaled lightly. It was indeed like this! Fortunately, he didn't rush to catch anyone!

"Where is the emperor's uncle's witness?" Xiao Changshi asked.

"I am the witness!"

Li Mao, the eldest prince of Xiliang who had always been treated as an invisible man, stood up.
