Xu Yan was a little surprised when he heard this name. In the original plot, this Zhou Suxi didn’t appear a few times. The most memorable one was when Zhou Sudong led an army into Shengdu. This person opened the city gate and knelt on the ground to welcome Zhou Sudong. The obsequious look when he entered the city, nothing else, Xu Yan couldn't believe that such a person would dare to do such a thing as assassinate Zhou Subei.

"How could it be him?" Xu Yan frowned and looked at Zhou Subei, his eyes full of doubts.

"It's him, my brother, I'm afraid the opportunity is ripe, and he wants to give it a go. After holding it for so long, I can't bear it anymore." Zhou Subei hugged Xu Yan tightly, thinking of his brothers, except for the ones he brought with him since childhood. The big Sunan, fortunately he met this person in his life, so he didn't look so sad.

Xu Yan felt his sadness, and stretched out his arms to hug him. Emperors have always been lonely. Wife, children, mother, and brothers all plot against him, and they all want to gain the supreme power in the world. Now his lover has become The emperor, he didn't want him to become that lonely.

The two were escorted by the private army and returned to the camp. Zhou Subei took Xu Yan back to the palace directly, and brought the imperial doctor to see Xu Yan's injury. Xu Yan didn't want to be so troublesome at first, but seeing Zhou Subei's worried look, Still follow him.

"It's not a serious injury, it's just a scratch. It will be fine in a few days. Don't be so nervous." Xu Yan leaned in Zhou Subei's arms and put his uninjured hand on his. He pinched his cheeks, his expression a bit mischievous.

"I'm worried, Yu Xi, I don't want you to suffer any harm." Zhou Subei sat on the stool, pulled him into his arms, adjusted his position again, looked into his eyes and spoke seriously .

As soon as Doctor Wang came, he saw the emperor hugging the queen on his lap, watching the scene of the naughty hand pinching the emperor's cheek affectionately and tenderly, and was a little shocked. It was rumored in the palace that the emperor loved the queen very much, but there was no Seeing it with your own eyes is absolutely impossible to know what kind of love it is.

Your Majesty loves the Queen extremely, it is clearly because of his deep love, he puts people at the top of his heart.

It seems that when he diagnoses and treats the queen's pulse in the future, he must be extremely attentive and careful. After all, judging from the emperor's attitude towards the queen, I am afraid that as long as he gets the queen's own eyes, he will make a fortune. If he is in the imperial hospital, If there is no one to help, he will be a deputy court until death. If he wins the eyes of the queen, he can also fight for the court.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to the Empress." Imperial Physician Wang knelt at the door with a respectful and cautious attitude.

"Get up and show the queen, is this injury serious?" Zhou Subei asked people to get up, and then rolled up the sleeve on Xu Yan's injured arm, revealing the wound on his arm.

Physician Wang approached and saw that the one-finger-long wound on the arm of Empress Yubai had already started to scab, so she did not dare to touch it. She looked at it with her naked eyes, and then handed a piece of white silk cloth to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please also wipe some of the blood from the queen's wound and give it to me, so I can judge whether it is poisonous or not."

Zhou Subei took the silk cloth without saying a word, and gently wiped Xu Yan's wound a few times. Seeing him frowning, he felt a little distressed, and the movements of his hands became more gentle.

The white silk cloth was slowly stained with red blood, Zhou Subei saw that it was almost done, so he handed the silk cloth to Imperial Physician Wang.

Doctor Wang took it, and after careful identification, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, it is non-toxic. I will prescribe a prescription for the queen. The queen takes one prescription every day. After three days, the wound will not even have a scar." It won’t stay, if you don’t worry, I still have a box of ancestral ointment here, which is also very effective in healing wounds and removing scars.”

After Wang Taiyi finished speaking, he took out a white jade carved box from his carrying case, held it in both hands and presented it to Zhou Subei.

Zhou Subei took the box from Imperial Physician Wang, and glanced at him appreciatively: "From now on, you will only diagnose the empress's pulse, don't worry about the others, go down to Li Defu to receive the reward."

"My lord, thank you Your Majesty, thank you Queen." Upon hearing Zhou Subei's words, Imperial Physician Wang quickly knelt down to salute, and kowtowed to thank him.

On the second day of the assassination, Zhou Subei sat on the throne in the palace hall with a dark face, looking at the ministers and relatives of the emperor who were kneeling below: "As for yesterday, the assassin entered the paddock, everyone loves you!" You have something to say, sir."

There was a sense of coldness in the emperor's words, and his knife-like eyes swept across the people kneeling below, as if he had seen through everyone's mind long ago.

"No one answered me, right? Well, I will ask you personally!" Throwing the arrow he was playing with in his hand, Zhou Subei first stared at the capital captain in charge of the security of the paddock: "Captain He, tell me first." Oh, how did you check the safety of the paddock this time?"

Captain He was called out, trembling, but he had no choice but to go out, stepped forward and knelt down again: "Report to Your Majesty, minister, I sent 5000 elite soldiers to clean up the paddock and hunt some ferocious beasts first." kill, or drive out of the paddock...."

"Oh, the passages into the paddock can be guarded by soldiers, but patrol soldiers can be arranged!" Zhou Subei looked at the people on the ground, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became colder and colder.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, minister, minister..." Cold sweat broke out on Captain He's forehead, and his body trembled even more.

"Lin Shangshu, let's talk about it too." Zhou Subei didn't look at Captain He again, and called out Lin Shangshu from the Ministry of War: "Tell me, who gave you 1 taels of silver and money a month ago?" A beautiful concubine."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. All the ministers and ministers said, yes, it is King Rui, and it is King Rui." Lin Shangshu was a minister of the Ministry of War through his family connections. He was greedy for money and lustful, but he was the empress dowager's own nephew. It made it difficult for Zhou Subei to make a move, this time he had seized the opportunity to drive this trash away.

"Oh, King Rui, come out and talk." Zhou Subei's eyes stopped on Zhou Suxi's body, looking at this big brother, his eyes were dark.

"What does your Majesty want the minister to say?" Zhou Suxi looked calm this time, and stopped kneeling, standing up and looking directly at the emperor on the throne.

"King Rui's private army is well trained, and that Chen Shijun in the backyard of eldest brother is a capable person." Zhou Subei looked at him and said lightly.

"You..." Zhou Suxi looked at Zhou Subei in disbelief. They did these things in secret, but Zhou Subei knew all about it. It seemed that he had never let go of his surveillance of the royal relatives and ministers.

Seeing the three of them, Zhou Subei didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head: "The people here will suppress King Rui, Lin Shangshu, and Captain He Du, and I will interrogate them personally. In addition, I will order General Su to thoroughly investigate this matter." Detain all relevant personnel.”

Zhou Subei gave an order, and a group of soldiers wearing armor, with big knives on their waists, and full of evil spirits entered the hall and took him down.

Looking at the three people who were taken down, the rest of them were sweating from behind, and a few were trembling even more. They were all involved, but they were not named by Zhou Subei on the spot.

After retreating from the imperial court, Zhou Subei took Xu Yan to the cell where several people were held. When they arrived, the three of them were covered in blood from the beating, and they couldn't be seen as a single person. As soon as Xu Yan entered the prison, he could smell a strong smell. The smell of blood was a bit nauseating, but he still held back, frowned, and looked at the three of them.

"Have they spoken?" Zhou Subei asked the commander of the private army.

"Your Majesty, Lin Shangshu has already spoken, and the testimony is here. Neither Lieutenant He Du nor King Rui have spoken yet." The commander of the private army handed a piece of paper to Zhou Subei. Xu Yan.

Xu Yan looked at the confession above, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He had such an idea in mind, but looking at Lin Shangshu's appearance, he probably didn't know much. The ones who knew more were Captain He and King Rui, and Rui Wang Shijun.

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Zhou Subei to whisper in his ear.

Zhou Subei looked at him and chuckled: "Go and bring Chen Shijun of King Rui and Mrs. He Duwei."

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the prison raised their heads and looked at Zhou Subei and Xu Yan, their eyes full of disbelief.

Xu Yan watched the two of them look at him and Zhou Subei, and smiled at them: "I advise you two to speak up early, otherwise the whole family will be affected. I heard that Captain He's wife was born just a month ago. A little son, oh, and Captain He's eldest daughter is also very cute, King Rui also thought about whether life is more important than beauty."

Zhou Suxi stared at Xu Yan, and then looked at Zhou Subei: "Zhou Subei, you can't kill me, you can't, I am the first emperor's son, if you want to kill me, you can't explain to the royal family."

"Really, Da Zhou is not without princes and grandchildren who died of serious diseases." Zhou Subei looked at Zhou Suxi with a distorted face, embraced Xu Yan, and said lightly what made Zhou Suxi's liver and gallbladder split.

Just when Zhou Suxi was stunned and silent, He Duwei said, "Your Majesty, I will say anything and explain everything. As long as Your Majesty lets go of my wife and daughter."

"Your Majesty, it was Chen Shijun of King Rui who came to find the guilty minister. He said that if the minister refuses to agree, he will kill the minister's younger sister's family. The guilty minister has nothing to do. Your Majesty has learned from you."

"Brother Chen Shijun is really good."

Afterwards, Captain He revealed another group of people, all of whom had official positions and were inextricably linked with the Empress Dowager's natal family.

Su Xing's actions were also very fast, except for those who were confessed by Captain He, he also caught several big fish, both in the army and in the court.

Zhou Subei did not soften his heart, and directly issued an order that all those involved in the incident would be beheaded, and all family members would be exiled to the northwest to serve corvée, and none of their descendants could be officials.

This matter happened quickly, and it was dealt with quickly. Zhou Subei took the opportunity to remove a large number of the Queen Mother's lineage from the court, and replaced them with his own people. The power was further held by Zhou Subei in his own hands .

After the assassination, the autumn siege continued, Zhou Subei went to the camp to hunt every day, and sometimes organized the royal family's children to hunt, but he didn't let Xu Yan go with him, and let him cultivate in the palace.

Xu Yan had been bored in the palace for the past few days, and it happened to be sunny today, and he was about to go out for a walk. As soon as Xu Yan stepped out of the courtyard, a cleaning maid left in a hurry and ran all the way to the queen mother's palace. inside.

"My servant is paying homage to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has just gone out alone, and she is heading towards the garden." The maid looked at the Empress Dowager with a flattering look, and looked greedily at the jade bracelet on the Empress Dowager's hand.

"The Ai family knows your loyalty, so let's play with this bracelet." The queen mother did not miss the greed in her eyes, took the bracelet off her hand, and gave her another bag of gold.

The maid took it and stepped back happily. The Empress Dowager took a look at Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu understood, and went out to explain to a few of the Empress Dowager's confidantes. That day, there was an extra corpse in a dry well in the Palace of the Night.

It was rare for Xu Yan to go out for a stroll. Ever since he smelled blood in the prison, his chest had been feeling a little stuffy, and today he was especially irritable. Xu Yan had never felt this way before, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

After wandering around for a while, he felt that there was nothing to see. Xu Yan was about to go back to rest, but just as he turned his head, he saw a woman with a slightly protruding belly walking towards him. Xu Yan didn't know her, and didn't care about her. It was the wives and concubines of the royal family who were pregnant and came out to relax.

But just as the two passed by, the woman suddenly fell to the ground, clutched her stomach, and yelled.

Xu Yan frowned and looked at the woman on the ground. Seeing the blood flowing from her lower body, he couldn't help retching.

Seeing his appearance, the woman was a little surprised, but soon she yelled cruelly: "Come on, help, help, my stomach hurts, help."

Soon the queen mother rushed over, a look of joy flashed in her eyes, then she restrained herself, walked up a few steps and looked at the woman on the ground: "Mei Ren Zhao, what's going on?"

"Queen Mother, save the concubine, save the child in the concubine's belly, queen, queen, please let the concubine's child go..." The woman had a pale face, and kept flowing out regardless of her body. The blood of the queen mother tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan suddenly understood that he was planning to frame him.

"What does Empress Su want to say?" The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Yan with uncontrollable joy in her eyes.

"What does the Empress Dowager want me to say?" Xu Yan endured the feeling of vomiting, and raised his head to look at the Empress Dowager with an arrogant expression, showing no sign of panic.

"Queen Su, you are His Majesty's queen, but you can't even tolerate a beauty and the child in her belly. You are so jealous, how can you afford the posthumous position." At that time, Xu Yan was bestowed with death, but she did not expect that Zhou Subei secretly sent secret guards to protect Xu Yan.

Just as the Queen Mother was about to make a move, she sent someone to arrest Xu Yan, when several hidden guards suddenly appeared, kicked them out to protect Xu Yan's surroundings.

Several people were in a stalemate, and the screams of the woman on the ground became louder and louder. Unlike the one who could talk just now, she was really rolling on the ground in pain at this moment, but no one cared about her life or death.

As soon as Zhou Subei entered the gate of the palace, he met the hidden guards who came in a hurry and talked about the things in the garden. Zhou Subei felt the garden before he even had time to change his clothes. Looking at Xu Yan who was guarded by the hidden guards, Zhou Subei Subei breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurry over and hug him: "What's wrong, your face is so pale."

"It's okay, it's just a little...vomit..." As soon as Zhou Subei came, Xu Yan relaxed, and the disgusting feeling that he had just suppressed came back, and he quickly pushed Zhou Subei away, and the person lying beside him retched on a tree.

"Yu Xi..." Zhou Subei hurriedly followed, patting the man on the back, trying to make him feel better.

When Xu Yan got better, Zhou Subei didn't even look at the queen mother and the women on the ground, and walked towards the bedroom with Xu Yan in his arms.
