"Sorry……"

He opened his lips several times before speaking, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs, "I can't, I can't take you away."

Lu Yanluo was heartbroken and in so much pain that she couldn't even cry. She slumped down on the bed with a look of despair on her face, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

Su Yu didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned around as if he had used up all his strength ever and walked out with each painful step.

Lu Yanluo watched him leave and heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Su Yu!"

She finally cried out in pain, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and stumbled out.

Su Yu's heart trembled. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and quickened his pace.

"What a courage!"

He had just walked a short distance when he heard a cold voice coming from him.

The voice was filled with murderous intent and overwhelming anger, as if it wanted to grind the person in front of it to ashes.

Following the sound, I saw Lu Shian coming back not far away, with Ye Qiandai, who looked surprised, beside him.

Su Yu secretly cried out "bad luck" and hurriedly used his Qinggong to leap up, fleeing in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed.

"Someone come!" Lu Shian wanted to chase after him, but considering that his waist injury had not healed, he wanted to call for someone to chase after him.

“Brother!” Lu Yanluo rushed over and knelt at his feet, shaking her head and crying, “No, don’t chase him, let him go!”

Lu Shian was so angry that he shouted angrily: "He is a man who came out of your room in the middle of the night and ruined your reputation. You still want me to let him go?"

"He didn't do anything to me, he just came to see me. Please, brother, let him go this time." Lu Yanluo grabbed the corner of his clothes and begged desperately, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Shian was so angry that he didn't care about her anymore. He ordered the guards who came over, "Go and seal it off for me..."

“Your Majesty, you—Yanluo!!”

Ye Qiandai was just about to persuade her, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Lu Yanluo, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly go limp, then her eyes closed and she fainted.

"Yanluo!" Lu Shian was shocked and quickly bent down, picked her up and ran into the house.

"Someone, call the imperial physician!"

The next day, Xia Younan brought Bei Jin to the palace early, wanting to comfort the poor little princess again.

When she reached the palace gate, she saw the commander of the Imperial Guards, Qin Chong, gathering his men. He had a serious expression and walked hurriedly, as if he was preparing to do something important.

For some reason, Xia Younan had a bad feeling in his heart.

She knew that Qin Chong was Lu Shian's confidant and had extraordinary fighting ability. Lu Shian would not easily use him unless it was an important matter.

"Qin Chong!" She stepped forward to stop Qin Chong and asked in confusion, "What are you planning to do by gathering so many people? Where are you going?"

Qin Chong glanced at her and smiled coldly, "Yu Nan Palace!"

"What?" Xia Younan suddenly opened his eyes wide, shocked and confused, "Why? What are you doing in the Yu Nan Palace?"

Qin Chong did not hide the truth from her and said bluntly, "The emperor received a letter of complaint this morning, saying that there is a criminal who should have been executed more than ten years ago hiding in the Yu Nan Palace, so he sent us to arrest him."

Xia Younan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Su Yu. His face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Who wrote the report?"

The matter of Su Yu is of great importance, and Lu Xiuyuan would never disclose it to others.

Apart from Su Yu, Liu Bo, and Lu Xiuyuan, I just found out yesterday. There shouldn't be anyone else who knows about it. Who could have reported it?

"I don't know, it's an anonymous letter. Princess, please don't ask. Just pray for the best. If the fugitive is really caught in the palace, Prince Yu Nan will also be to blame!"

After Qin Chong finished speaking, he ignored her, gave an order, and set off with the Imperial Guards in a mighty force.

Xia Younan's face turned pale and his heart tightened, as if a cold snake was crawling up his spine.

Bei Jin was also frightened when she saw the situation, and asked worriedly: "Princess, what should we do? Did they make a mistake?"

Xia Younan shook his head and said in a panic, "Bei Jin, go to Youlanju to find your young lady. I have to go see Lu Shian."

After saying that, she ran towards the imperial study without waiting for Bei Jin's reaction.

Lu Shian was reviewing memorials in the study. He was not surprised to see her come in. He asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Xia Younan came up to him and asked breathlessly, "Who did you ask Qin Chong to catch at the Prince Yu'nan's Mansion? Where did the fugitive come from?"

"What? Didn't Lu Xiuyuan tell you? The Su Yu beside him is not an ordinary person. He is the grandson of Su Boyuan, the grandson of the former prime minister. He should have died long ago." Lu Shi'an answered her expressionlessly.

It’s Su Yu indeed!

Xia Younan's heart sank, and he pretended to be calm and argued: "Su Yu is just an ordinary servant and bodyguard, how could he be the grandson of the prime minister? You must be mistaken."

Lu Shian sneered, “Whether we are wrong or not, we will know after we catch the person and put him on trial.

"Since you don't know, I will not pursue you for Qing'er's sake. However, Lu Xiuyuan will not get away with harboring a fugitive."

When Xia Younan heard that he was going to deal with Lu Xiuyuan, he lost his temper and asked fearfully: "What do you want to do with Lu Xiuyuan?

Lu Shian: "I guess we will just imprison Lu Xiuyuan in the palace for thirty to fifty years."

"You!" Xia Younan was so angry that he couldn't help asking, "What about Su Yu? What are you going to do with Su Yu?"

Lu Shian raised his chin and replied as a matter of course: "He was originally a man who deserved to die. I have already allowed him to live for more than ten years. If I catch him now, I will definitely make him return to his fate!"

He had never intended to kill Su Yu, he just wanted to break up him and Yan Luo.

Unexpectedly, I received an anonymous letter of complaint this morning, saying that Su Yu was the grandson of former Prime Minister Su Boyuan, and should have been beheaded along with the Su family more than ten years ago.

The Su family's affairs back then were reported by Ye Baijiang, and his father issued a killing order. So he and Yanluo were the children of Su Yu's enemy who wiped out the family.

In addition to Lu Xiuyuan's grudge, almost everyone around him has an irreconcilable blood feud with Su Yu.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly fall in love with Yanluo?

If not, then he must be deliberately seeking revenge.

He took advantage of Yanluo's innocence to deal with him, and even deliberately made Yanluo suffer in order to achieve his revenge.

Poor Yanluo is still kept in the dark and loves him to death, not knowing that she is just a pawn in his revenge.

He couldn't let Yanluo be deceived and used again. She was his only sister and he had to protect her.

Therefore, Su Yu must die!

"You can't kill Su Yu!" Xia Younan shouted in horror to stop him.

"Even if he is really Su Boyuan's grandson, there are still many doubts about Su Boyuan's rebellion. How can you kill his only bloodline without finding out the truth?"

“How dare you!” Lu Shi’an slammed the table and shouted, warning him with a frown, “The case was personally investigated by our father, the Emperor, and the perpetrator was found guilty with evidence. Where did the doubts come from?

"If you continue to be disrespectful to the late emperor, don't blame me for punishing you!"
