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

Xiao Yu looked at the paper in his hand, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

Su Lingyue noticed the change in Xiao Yu's expression and leaned over to take a look at the contents on the paper.

"This is!"

She was so shocked that the peach cake in her hand fell to the ground.

It is a record of grain and fodder leaving the warehouse, and the signature is from a man named Guan Baiyu.

Xiao Yu put away the letter and said, "Yue'er is tasting the cakes here. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he stood up, holding on to the chair and left the hall.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu's back and felt a dull pain in her heart.

Xiao Yu was like this now, she really wanted him to stop caring about everything, but Xiao Yu still had things he had to do.

Caidie saw Su Lingyue’s furrowed brows and knew that she was worried about Xiao Yu.

She took another piece of peach cake and handed it to Su Lingyue, coaxing her, "Miss, try it. It smells delicious."

Su Lingyue took the peach cake, took a small bite, chewed it gently, and it tasted like chewing wax.

Su Heng stood in the attic of the mansion. Although the wind was cold, he looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the early morning and took a deep breath. He felt indescribably relaxed.

Su Xiuyuan stood beside him, feeling anxious, "Father, can we really get our official positions back today?"

Su Heng looked into the distance, his eyes unable to hide his desire for power, "Da Ning at this moment, without a father, would be like a thatched cottage in a storm, ready to collapse at any time."

He suddenly sneered, "Not only will your official position be restored, but also Xiao Yu's head. Your father will give it to your mother to make her happy."

When talking about Xue Man, Su Xiuyuan couldn't suppress his joy. "Now my mother can eat and talk normally. I think she will be able to walk around soon."

Having said this, he paused and looked at Su Heng with a pleading look, "Father, Yuan'er has been serving mother day and night. This time, your father was able to return to his post, and it was also due to the credit of your father-in-law. I wonder if you can forgive Li Xiaoyun and ask the Ministry of Justice to release him."

Su Heng's eyes tightened, and he turned to look at Su Xiuyuan with cold eyes, "Yier is your brother. He died because of Li Xiaoyun. I didn't let the Ministry of Justice sentence him to death. I have done my best!"

He snorted angrily, "Don't mention this matter again!"

Su Xiuyuan didn't dare to say much, and was thinking about finding an opportunity to persuade him again.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the servant reported from the attic, "Master, someone has come from the palace, please come in immediately."

Su Heng was not in a hurry, "Who is coming?"

The servant said respectfully, "Eunuch Wan beside your Majesty."

Su Heng calmly ordered, "Please sit in the hall while I change my clothes."

Su Heng has been under house arrest for almost a month. According to common sense, shouldn't we go to pick him up quickly?

The servant tentatively said, "Master, you are dressed up nicely today, why don't you go now!"

Su Heng sneered, his shrewd and experienced face full of contempt, "Your Majesty has asked me to discuss matters now, so I don't mind waiting a little longer."

After saying that, he walked slowly back to his yard in square steps.

Eunuch Wan finished his cup of tea, and the servant refilled it for him when he saw that Su Heng had not come out yet.

The second cup of tea was already finished, and Eunuch Wan looked increasingly anxious, looking back and forth towards the door.

"Eunuch Wan!"

Finally, Su Heng came.

The servant looked over and saw that he was not wearing official uniform, but a green casual dress with a white jade plate with cloud pattern hanging around his waist. He had shaved his head and tied his hair again, and tidied himself up. He looked like a wealthy and leisurely man.

"Prime Minister Su, you are finally here. His Majesty is waiting in the palace. Please come in!"

Having said that, Eunuch Wan stood up and prepared to go out.

Su Heng was not in a hurry, and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Eunuch Wan, His Majesty has demoted me and confined me to my house. I don't know why he summoned me to the palace?"

Eunuch Wan smiled awkwardly, "I'm sure Prime Minister Su has heard about what happened in recent days. Now that the court is unstable, His Majesty will naturally ask Prime Minister Su to return to the court and serve the country again."

Su Heng sighed, "I thought your majesty had forgotten me, but I never thought I would be able to return to the court. Well, I will serve the country even if I die!"

He made a gesture of invitation, "Father-in-law, please!"

Eunuch Wan nodded and walked in front to lead the way.

In the Golden Palace, the emperor sat upright on the dragon throne and accepted Su Heng's kneeling worship.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

The emperor said, "My dear Lord Su, please stand up!" His tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

Su Heng stood up, showing the respect of a senior and the attitude of being ignorant. "I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"

The emperor stared at him intently and ignored his question. "Su Heng, we have known each other for more than 40 years. You don't need to pretend in front of me. What do you think about the assassination of the envoy?"

They are all smart people, so pretending not to know at this time would seem deliberate. "I think someone must want to provoke a war between other countries and Daning, so this is the reason."

The emperor nodded in agreement with his idea, and then asked, "Who do you think it will be?"

Su Heng said in a deep voice: "Prince Su Xiao Yu."

The emperor frowned, "But the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple was fine. I can't understand why he did this."

Su Heng said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that he has the military token in his hand. As long as Daning becomes chaotic, he can start a rebellion."

"As for the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, maybe they are fake!"

"It's possible." The emperor nodded. "Do you have any solution for the current situation?"

Su Heng lowered his eyes and asked respectfully, "I know a little about the situation outside, but I don't know the situation in the palace."

The emperor told Su Heng everything that had happened in the palace in the past few days, including what Li Lang said when he entered the palace this morning.

Looking at Su Heng who was frowning in thought in the hall, the emperor asked: "Su Heng, you were the one who negotiated with foreign countries in the past. What do you think now?"

Su Heng pondered for a long time, "The Third Prince is in a situation now, and he has to give an explanation to the King of Xiliang and his people. It is better to let him give an explanation first for the sake of face, and then we can discuss other matters in detail."

The emperor didn't quite understand. "Tell me about it in detail."

Su Heng said: "The Third Prince must give an explanation to everyone to save face, so hand over the assassin and let him save face.

He also said that he wanted to kill Prince Su. It just so happened that Your Majesty has always been quite wary of Prince Su, so it would be better to take advantage of him and send Prince Su away.

First, it can quell the rumors in Daning State, second, it can let the Third Prince give an explanation to his country and people, and third, it can just get rid of the biggest worry in His Majesty's mind.

As for the matter of ceding cities and land, I will try to negotiate with Xiliang King Li Zongyuan."

"This kills three birds with one stone. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After hearing Su Heng's words, the emperor sat there with his eyes lowered in thought.

After a moment, the emperor waved to Eunuch Wan and said, "Bring the imperial edict here."

Su Heng looked at the imperial edict he had brought over, with a determined light in his eyes, "Xiao Yu, you must die this time!"

The emperor frowned and began to write the imperial edict and stamp it with the imperial seal.

"Read it!" the emperor ordered Eunuch Wan.

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wan took the imperial edict and unfolded it, "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims..."

The corners of Su Heng's lips curled up, with a victorious light flashing in his eyes. Xiao Yu couldn't beat him after all.
