Emperor Xin wants to personally conquer, but just as Di Yuan worried, people in the court are already in turmoil and each has their own ghosts, so before he leaves, he must get rid of those who have surfaced.

"The matter I ordered you to investigate should have a result by now." In the Jinlu Palace, Di Xin raised his eyes from the memorial and asked Zhang Gan in front of him.

In the case of Liannu's assassination last time, although the evidence pointed to Xiyan, and Dixin also used it to punish Li Chong, he kept speculating about it in his mind.

At that time, I knew that there were very few people who went out of the palace in light clothes, and it was just a temporary idea. Before that, I had only been to Hongxian Palace to see Su Chu, and Zhan Su happened to be there at that time.

Therefore, although the emperor's heart was always wrong, he clearly punished Li Chong, but secretly ordered Zhang Gan to investigate the truth.

Zhang Qiandao: "Your Majesty, although those killers all use Xiyan Liannu, they are all Hongxian Palace guards in disguise."

At that time, it was clearly stated that he was from Xiyan, but it was only to get rid of Li Chong, so he planted it according to the holy will.

Di Xin's eyes darkened: "Hongxian Palace?"

Therefore, Dang even announced that Su Chu and Zhan Su entered the palace.

Di Xin narrowed her eyes and stared at Su Chu coldly for a long time. Although Su Chu hated Di Xin in her heart, she couldn't help but shudder at the sight of those cold eyes.

"Concubine Chu, I have something to ask you."

"I don't know what your Majesty wants to ask?" Su Chu asked respectfully.

"Do you still remember that Li Chong ordered people to assassinate me outside the city?"

Su Chu's heart tightened, wondering if Dixin had doubts?

"The concubine remembers. I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly asked the concubine about this matter?"

Di Xin didn't bother to make a detour, and said directly: "Although those rebels have new crossbows from Xiyan, they are not from Xiyan, they are guards in your palace. How do you explain it?"

Su Chu was stunned, she didn't know how to answer.

Zhan Su on the side was very calm, just watching from the sidelines.

"I'm asking you, how do you explain?" Di Xin asked again, her voice was calm but cold enough.

Su Chu's expression was a little uneasy, she thought that Di Xin had been waiting for the chance to get rid of Li Chong, so when the chance came, she would not think about other things, but he didn't, he was always thinking about this matter.

"The concubine is terrified. The concubine doesn't know...that this will happen?" She quickly knelt down.

Di Xin stood up and walked down the steps quietly. A tall figure stood in front of her, staring at her coldly: "Is this your explanation?"

"...Yes." Su Chu wanted to shirk again, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, this concubine must have been framed by someone, and the guards in the concubine's palace are all sent by your majesty, how could you listen to your concubine? To assassinate His Majesty?"

"Oh, that's true. However, if the person who gave the order has enough status, it's not impossible. You are my only favorite, and they are afraid of you. If I destroy you, Yisu, and your relatives, you will have no hatred Heart? If there is a chance...in fact, you also want to kill me, right?"

"The concubine dare not..."

"I don't believe it!" Di Xin turned around.

Su Chu was frightened by the sudden sound, and quickly said: "The concubine is wronged!"

"Your Majesty." Zhan Su also knelt down: "I have something to say."

Di Xin raised his eyes coldly and looked at him: "I haven't asked you yet, do you think you can hide?"

"My Majesty, the assassination of Xiyan was indeed caused by someone else. This person has enough status and power, and he also has a reason to kill the king." Zhan Su raised his head and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said: A sinner in the high priesthood of the kingdom."

Su Chu looked at Zhan Su in a daze, compared to before, he was a little less playful and frivolous at this time, and the quietness didn't look like Zhan Su anymore.

There was killing intent in Di Xin's eyes: "Is it you? Tell me your reason?"

"I am the person An Chengjing arranged to be next to His Majesty." Zhan Su thought for a while, and added: "There are two good people around An Chengjing, one is Fang Yan, and the other is me."

"Hmph! What an Chengjing, he set his chess game very early!" Di Xin snorted coldly, and asked, "I'll ask you again, the Suji Building was robbed, but was it your plan?"

Zhan Su smiled and shook his head: "Actually, there are no clouds and mountains in the world. It's just that I'm lying to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is always sober. I think that if Your Majesty is not critically ill and impatient, I can't succeed. But now it's over." It's a foregone conclusion, Su Jilou has already fallen into Dongyuan."

The emperor's teeth were itching with hatred. At this time, he really wanted to draw his sword and kill Zhan Su, but Zhan Su dared to betray him, so he would not let him go so easily.

Zhan Su looked relaxed and calm, and at this moment, he could still smile calmly: "Your Majesty, if you are a monarch and minister, you can warn your majesty if you are guilty. Fu Xiao has caught your majesty's weakness, your majesty must be careful. "

Di Xin already had a premonition of the meaning of his words, although this game of chess was chaotic, he could have controlled it originally.But now, he was really caught at the dead end and couldn't stand up. The anger of being controlled and threatened made him look at this trick in front of him, wishing to cut him into pieces.

Emperor Xin shouted: "Put Zhan Su in death row! Tomorrow it will be midnight!"

Su Chu knelt on the ground in a daze, didn't speak, just watched Zhan Su being taken down.

into the night.

The door of the death cell opened abruptly, and a person wrapped in a black cloak walked in. She looked at the person sitting in the dim light, and under the pending judgment, he could still look at her with a joking smile: "I really didn't expect, the empress is here."

Su Chu took off her hood and looked at him for a long time, feeling that she still couldn't understand him.

Zhan Su said: "Your Majesty came to see me, it was a lucky harvest for Zhan Su before he died, so you have nothing to say?"

"It's none of your business to ask questions from the emperor's heart in the palace. Why did you take all of it?" Su Chu asked.

"If there is nothing wrong with me, why did His Majesty summon me? Your Majesty is too naive. Your Majesty always suspected me, and he came for me."

"So you took all my affairs on yourself?" Thinking of this, there was a soft light in Su Chu's eyes: "If you didn't take care of everything, you wouldn't end up in Lingchi, Maybe he'll give it a go."

Zhan Su raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty... don't you feel sorry for me?"

"I just thank you."

Zhan Su smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty, you don't have to keep this matter in mind. Before entering the Golden Dew Hall today, I have actually made a fortune-telling for myself, and I will definitely die."

After finishing speaking, he leaned lazily towards the corner of the wall: "So, since you can't hide, why don't you take care of your mother, it's nothing great, just by the way."

"Didn't you say that you can predict the ups and downs of the general situation, and you can't predict the life and death of a person?"

Zhan Su was taken aback for a moment, in the darkness, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

He just smiled: "If there is another chance, will your empress plead with His Majesty for me?"

At this time, Zhan Su's eyes were calm and non-joking, he really didn't look like him.It's a pity that Su Chu still can't see these clearly in the dark.

"Zhansu..." Su Chu was a little ashamed.

Yes, she didn't say a word to the person who took the blame for her at that time.

Su Chu took a step into the darkness, took a step closer to him, and said, "Zhan Su, I came to see you this time to say thank you...Why did you save me?"

"If the empress has nothing to do, please go back as soon as possible. Your Majesty's suspicions about the empress are still there. If the empress is caught at the death row, I'm afraid I will have to shave Zhan Su a few more times to relieve my hatred." Zhan Su laughed.

Su Chu took out a tiny medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him: "This is a crane miasma...the pain of cutting flesh and bones, inhuman pain...I I can only help you here."

Zhan Su was holding the bottle of medicine, his smile had an undetectable bitterness, he pulled off the bottle seal, and under Su Chu's watchful eyes, he poured out the bottle and poured out the medicine, as if pouring wine into the ground, which made people's hearts tremble trembling.

"Why are you so stupid? You come and go quietly tonight, and you will be safe and sound tomorrow. But if I die of poison in prison tonight, your majesty will investigate. If you know that you have visited the death row prisoner, what will your majesty think? Why do you want to start a fire?" Are you up?"

"Occupation..."

"It's cold in the middle of the night, my lady, go back quickly."

Su Chu's eyes were a little sore, and she sighed. When she walked to the door, she finally stopped, but did not turn around: "Zhan Su, I will remember you. I will not owe anyone's life until I see the emperor's heart lost with my own eyes. Everything, I will never live in this world, and then this life will be repaid to you."

Zhan Su laughed at himself behind him and said, "If that's the case, then I'll wait for the empress on the Naihe Bridge. Otherwise, how do you know if you really paid your life back in the end?"

"If you want to wait...just wait." After Su Chu finished speaking, she walked towards the darkness outside the door.

It was already September in Shiwei, after a night of showers, the water dried up, the cold pool was clear, and a thin purple air was gathered on the cold mountain outside the clouds.

"This Tayunju, I thought you would never come to live here again." An Xun also walked across the water bridge, smiling and walking towards Sujilou here.

Su Jilou sat under the eaves of the pavilion, leaning against the railing, his eyes were a little dazed.

The curtains on the four eaves of the water pavilion were blown up by the wind, and the glow of the setting sun reflected the light of the water and shone on the eaves.

"Xiao Lou, why are you so haggard?" An Xun also asked with concern, "Where have you been for the past three months? You've been so thin since you came back."

"Brother really doesn't remember?"

An Xunyi wondered what he meant, and said with a smile, "Do you remember anything? Xiaolou, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, do you remember what you did in the past three months?"

"I was ill for three months, and my father had an accident, but I couldn't do anything." An Xun also mentioned An Chengjing's death, and couldn't help but blame himself.

Su Jilou looked at Qinglingling's water light in a blink of an eye: "It would be great if I could be like big brother. In fact, now that I think about it, you can be so relaxed. I really have to thank that Zhansu."

"Who is Occupation?"

Su Jilou looked at the fish swarming in the pool, not thinking much: "A fortune teller."

Liu Luo came over with tea with a smile on his face: "The eldest son drinks tea."

An Xun was also in a good mood. He only sniffed it for a while, then smiled and said, "Junshan Bamboo Leaf. Xiaolou, you will live in our Dongyuan from now on, and you will have good tea every day, which is exactly what you want!"

"Brother..." Su Jilou looked at him.

"what happened?"

"I won't stay in Dongyuan." Su Jilou held An Xunyi's hand: "Can you help me escape?"

"Escape?" An Xun also looked at him strangely.

He was completely unaware of Su Jilou's current situation, and he didn't know Fu Xiao's thoughts on Su Jilou, nor did he notice that this leisurely place in Tayunju was actually a prison.

He also didn't understand at all, why he became so panicked when he was clearly living in Suji Building in Dongyuan?

"Brother, the second brother wants to rebel, this is killing the king and destroying the Dao!" Su Ji said in the corridor.

An Xunyi is also worried about this matter recently: "Of course I know, but Fu Xiao has made up his mind, and I have tried to persuade him many times, but I can't persuade him to return."

"Brother, do you know how the battle is going now?"

"I heard that three months ago, the emperor's heart had been conscripted personally."

"Then who is in charge of Huage, and who is acting as the agent for the court?"

Su Jilou was vaguely uncertain. At this juncture, Di Yuan and Di Lian were the only ones Di Xin trusted. Di Yuan always ignored state affairs. Only Di Lian was familiar with government affairs and had some prestige in the court... ..I'm afraid that Emperor Lian will monopolize the power.

Sure enough, An Xun also said, "It's Di Lian."

Su Jilou's heart felt cold, the emperor's heart hated betrayal, and he was afraid that he would lose to betrayal in the end.
