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

"What do you think?" the emperor asked Zhang Zhong and Duan Xu who were standing in front of him.

Just as Su Heng was ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned, a Hun assassin appeared, obviously trying to confuse the public and let Su Heng escape.

The most important thing at the moment is to prevent the emperor from releasing Su Heng.

But the emperor was suspicious, and this could not be made too obvious.

Zhang Zhong said: "In my humble opinion, the matter of the assassin remains to be seen. Although the captured man said that they mobilized all their forces to assassinate the Third Prince of Xiliang last night, it is still unknown whether he is lying or not. If there are still his accomplices in the capital, then the capital needs to strengthen its defenses."

"I think Lord Zhang is right." Duan Xu still agreed in a conciliatory manner.

The emperor looked at Zhang Zhong with a serious look, "Did the assassin mention Su Heng?"

Zhang Zhong replied: "It has not been mentioned."

The emperor nodded and said to Zhang Zhong, "Go back and interrogate him thoroughly. He dares to act so rampantly in the imperial city. If I don't catch him in one fell swoop, how can I save my reputation?"

Zhang Zhong bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This incident shows that these northern barbarians are not smart, so there is no need to be afraid. As long as Your Majesty gives me some more time, I will definitely catch the mastermind behind this."

"Not very smart?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the coldness on his face disappeared. "Why do you think so?"

"If I were their leader, I would lie dormant for a while after hearing that Your Majesty has caught the murderer. I would wait until everything is settled and the Third Prince is off guard, and then I would take the opportunity to assassinate him. The probability of success would be higher than it is now. It would not be like last night, when we sent twenty people, nineteen of them died, and one was captured."

Listening to Zhang Zhong's words, the emperor frowned.

Zhang Zhong continued, "I am confident that I can catch such a stupid opponent."

After saying this, he did not forget to show concern for the emperor, "Your Majesty has been so busy lately, you must take care of your health and don't worry too much. We are here to share your worries."

He said it very sincerely.

The emperor felt very relieved after hearing this. If all the ministers in the court were like Zhang Zhong, it would be much easier for him to be the emperor.

After Zhang Zhong and Duan Xu left, the emperor began to recall Zhang Zhong's words.

What he said made sense; this assassination was indeed suspicious.

In Furong Pavilion, Su Lingyue woke up drowsily. Her little hand subconsciously reached to her side, only to touch thick clothes.

Su Lingyue closed her eyes, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her little hand continued to touch upwards unhappily.

It was not until he touched the slightly cool face and pinched it twice that he confirmed that it was Xiao Yu's face that his brows relaxed and he closed his eyes and continued to wander in his mind.

Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly when he felt a small hand pinching his face, and then covering his mouth and nose.

He knew who it was without even opening his eyes.

Thinking that Su Lingyue was still sick, he opened his eyes to check on Su Lingyue's condition.

Su Lingyue's complexion had returned to its normal rosy color, but her lips were dry and a little chapped. Xiao Yu raised his hand and touched her forehead, and the temperature had returned to normal.

Seeing that it was time to take the medicine, Su Lingyue had no intention of waking up. Seeing that Su Lingyue's little hand was still on his face, pinching his face just now, he also wanted to make trouble.

The slightly cool fingertips stroked Su Lingyue's cheek, stopped on her soft, baby-fat cheek, and began to gently pinch it with the thumb and index finger.

Su Lingyue frowned unhappily, turned her head, and gently scratched Xiao Yu's face twice, causing a tingling sensation.

Xiao Yu curled his lips lightly and began to pinch the soft little face with his fingers again.

The thick, curled eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled twice, then slowly opened, and the clear eyes still had the confusion of just waking up.

When she was fully awake, Su Lingyue found that her little hand was on Xiao Yu's face, and Xiao Yu's big hand was on her face. Seeing that she was awake, he pinched her twice mischievously.

Su Lingyue blinked and asked softly, "What are you doing, Your Majesty?" Her clear eyes were full of innocence.

Xiao Yu chuckled and replied gently: "Of course I'm going to wake up my little princess. What about Yue'er? What are you doing?"

As he said this, he lowered his eyes to look at the little hand that was still covering his mouth and nose.

Su Lingyue groaned and complained softly, "You are wearing too much. I only felt the cotton jacket, and I had to confirm whether it was you lying next to me! But why are you wearing so much?"

Xiao Yu's heart suddenly trembled.

This kind of trust and dependence from the bottom of his heart made his heart soft. Su Lingyue's words made him very happy and gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

This sense of accomplishment is like a seed that has been planted and finally sprouted after going through a storm.

He did not answer Su Lingyue's question, but looked at Su Lingyue with burning eyes. He opened his mouth, put the slender little finger into his mouth, bit it twice, and licked it twice with the tip of his tongue.

After some teasing, Su Lingyue's cheeks and ears turned red instantly. She quickly retracted her hand, her heart beating wildly.

Since some time ago, Su Lingyue discovered that her feelings towards Xiao Yu had undergone subtle changes.

She had always tried her best to maintain physical distance between herself and Xiao Yu. As long as she didn't take the initiative, Xiao Yu always knew his limits.

Why did you tease me again just now?

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yu chuckled, "Yue'er, it's time to take your medicine. If you feel sleepy, take the medicine and eat something before going to sleep."

Su Lingyue was puzzled, "Drink medicine, why should I drink medicine?"

She had a fever last night, and Xiao Yu, Doctor Lu, and several maids worked for an hour to bring her fever down. Now she can't remember anything at all.

"Is Yue'er feeling unwell anywhere?" Xiao Yu asked in a gentle voice.

Su Lingyue moved her body and said, "I feel a little weak and my throat is a little dry, but that's all."

She looked at Xiao Yu with confusion, "Why is the prince sleeping in a long coat?"

Xiao Yu stroked her cheek gently and told her about her fever last night.

Su Lingyue frowned and said unhappily, "My fever has gone down, why did Your Majesty put out the stove when all was well!"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she said angrily, "You know your body condition and that you can't stand the cold, and you turned off the stove. Do you want to make me uncomfortable?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, his tone and eyes mixed with self-blame, "You have a fever maybe because of what happened with the Queen yesterday. It's my fault for not taking good care of you." He gently stroked Su Lingyue's cheek with gentle movements.

"I have a fever because the weather is too cold. It has nothing to do with you." Su Lingyue held Xiao Yu's slightly cold big hand and pouted her dry lips. "I'm used to having two stoves. Suddenly one is missing and I feel a little cold. Let's light them up."

Su Lingyue's thoughtfulness and gentleness made Xiao Yu's heart soften.

Pinching Su Lingyue's smooth cheek, Xiao Yu raised the corner of his lips and said, "Having such a wife, Xiao Yu has no regrets in this life. Get up and drink the medicine. I'll ask them to light the stove in a while."

How could they have no regrets? They had only lived together for a few months. They hadn't seen many beautiful sights together, they hadn't tasted many delicacies together, they hadn't consummated their marriage, and they hadn't spent the rest of their lives together.

Su Lingyue has many wishes, and she wants to realize them with Xiao Yu for the rest of her life.

"Yeah." Su Lingyue smiled brightly.
