"What's the matter?" Su Shiyu put down his confession, and looked at the guard who described him as embarrassed.

"This subordinate is incompetent, let Linglong be kidnapped." The guard held his aching shoulder, feeling ashamed.

Su Shiyu frowned slightly, "Do you know the identity of the visitor?"

"Yes, the other party directly said that he was from the Taiwei's Mansion, and his subordinates chased him, and finally entered the Taiwei's Mansion."

Su Shiyu was taken aback when he heard the words, but frowned even more, his eyes couldn't help falling on the familiar name in the confession, and he didn't speak for a while.

The door of the study was pushed open at this moment, Su Bai rushed in with big strides, and said anxiously: "My lord, I found it!"

Su Shiyu raised his head, "Are you sure you found out?"

"It can't be wrong. The several lines that the young master told me to check have finally been merged together! The evidence is convincing!" Su Bai took a breath, "But it's hard to believe it."

"who is it?"

"King of Xiling."

"Li Chenghua, King of Xiling?" Chu Mingyun repeated, then smiled in a low voice, "His intuition is really accurate."

"My lord, the leader ordered his subordinates to come back and report first. He is dealing with Yan Ye's affairs, and there may be a delay," said the shadow guard.

Chu Mingyun nodded, raised his hand, and the shadow guard retreated silently.He glanced at the girl in scarlet clothes kneeling in the hall inadvertently, and said with a half-smile: "Why, I started to panic when I heard King Xiling?"

Linglong raised her face and gave him a confused smile, "I don't understand Master Chu's words, I just don't understand why the Lord brought me here."

"What do you think it is?"

Linglong thought for a while, then said cautiously: "I have no second thoughts towards Master Su, Master Su also treats slave very well, I can't turn my back on—"

The following voice was suppressed into a low cry, and the cold sword edge touched her brow, revealing a sharp killing intent, Linglong's whole body was stiff and she did not dare to move.

Chu Mingyun sat leaning on the upper seat, holding a sword in one hand, and said with a light smile, "I haven't cut a woman alive, why don't you be the first one?" With a slight movement of his hand, the sharp blade pierced the snow-white skin, and a cluster of bright red Beads of blood rolled down her cheeks.

"My lord, spare me!" Linglong's voice trembled, "I'm just a little dancer, even if I work for my lord, I can't do much, I beg my lord to show my respect!"

Chu Mingyun looked at her expressionlessly, without speaking.

It was extremely quiet, Linglong was terrified, and cold sweat came out layer by layer from her back, she felt his gaze cut her open like a knife and looked at her carefully, leaving her nowhere to hide.

The feeling of oppression was getting heavier and heavier, and just when she was almost out of breath, an exclamation suddenly sounded behind her:

"Why do I rely on you with the surname Chu? You are so fierce to women, you are insane!"

Chu Mingyun glanced at Du Yue, withdrew his sword, then frowned and looked at Linglong again, "No matter how you look at it, this face is not as good as mine. I really don't know why Shiyu can like you."

Linglong was so stunned that she couldn't answer, Du Yue who had just sat down at the side suddenly laughed happily, "So she is the dancer that my cousin brought back to the house." He held up the teacup and said happily, "Maybe Is it my cousin who likes her dance? Hey, the surname is Chu, why don't you learn to dance with a teacher, maybe your cousin thinks you are special and takes you in as a side room. In the future, you and her can still be sisters Appropriate hahaha..."

Chu Mingyun cast a sideways glance, "Your skin is itchy?"

Du Yue hurriedly glanced around quietly.

"Qin Zhao is not here." Chu Mingyun ruthlessly snuffed out his expectations.

Du Yue immediately stopped laughing, stood up and patted the sleeve of his robe, and suddenly said "Ah", "I remembered that there is still medicine boiling in my medicine room, let's go first, no need to send it away!" After saying that, he turned his head and ran away. It hasn't had time to warm up yet.

The hall behind him fell completely silent, Chu Mingyun didn't pay attention to Linglong anymore, his brows were lowered and he was lost in thought, Su Bai's fingertips landed on the table one after another, making a soft sound.

Linglong lowered her head, vaguely aware of who he was waiting for, her heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air without a place to rest, and she was extremely tormented.After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Linglong's knees were numb and aching, when she suddenly heard Master Chu above her stop her tapping hands, and footsteps sounded from behind from far and near.

Step by step, as if stepping on her heart, Linglong didn't care too much, turned around and looked, her face was full of surprise, "...My lord!" She couldn't help but want to get closer, and before she could touch a piece of robe with her outstretched hand, a long sword appeared out of thin air. Falling down straight to the ground, cutting off the movement of the hand, a cold voice came from the superior:

"Which one allowed you to touch him?"

The fingertips trembled, and finally slowly retracted.Linglong raised her eyes cautiously, and found that the Taiwei's eyes were no longer on her.

Su Shiyu had already stopped when the sword fell, and stood a few steps away from Linglong, with a faint smile on his face as always, "Master Chu."

Chu Mingyun supported his chin with his hands, and looked at him firmly, "Are you here to take this dancer away?"

Su Shiyu glanced at the girl in scarlet clothes beside him, and asked without answering, "What do you think, Lord Chu?"

With a low laugh, he got up and walked in front of Su Shiyu, "But I plan to kill her, are you reluctant?"

Su Shiyu's expression was indifferent, "What if I am willing, and what if I am not willing?"

"If you are willing, I will kill her." Chu Mingyun stared at Su Shiyu closely, not letting go of any subtle expressions on his face, "If you are not willing, then I will peel off her skin, drain the blood, and then A little cramp and boning."

Linglong shuddered when she heard the sound.

Su Shiyu met his eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally avoided his eyes and said without any disturbance: "It's just an assassin. If Master Chu cares, it's fine if I don't take it away."

As soon as his words fell, Linglong froze, as if frozen, the timid and flustered expression faded from her face, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Su Shiyu, and asked softly: "When did your lord know?"

Before Su Shiyu could speak, Chu Mingyun sneered, "Doctor Yushi doesn't believe anyone, so how could he not check your details?"

Linglong looked at him as if she had never heard of it, "When did you know?"

Su Shiyu turned sideways to her, "I guessed it when you performed the dance that day."

That bright face instantly turned pale, Linglong lowered her head deeply, raised her hand to caress her temple hair, and stroked her hair several times with trembling fingers.Her eyes suddenly turned fierce, she pulled out the red jade hairpin and jumped up and rushed towards Su Shiyu, with the speed and strength of a top assassin, she made a desperate attack, extremely fast and ruthless.

There was only a flash of light and shadow before her eyes, the hairpin broke in two and fell to the ground, Linglong fell to the ground, clutching her chest and coughing up a large pool of blood.Su Shiyu didn't move, he just raised his wrist to block Chu Mingyun's hand, blocking half of the ultimate move.

Chu Mingyun glanced at him sideways, then hooked his fingers suddenly, seeing that Su Shiyu didn't respond, he held his hand directly, intertwined and clasped his fingers tightly, and pulled them to the position in front of his heart.

Su Shiyu's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his attention to letting him move, and looked at the people on the ground, "As far as I know, you have a sick sister, did you work so hard for her?"

Linglong's eyes went black for a while, and the sliver of clarity she had earned from the chaos panicked when she caught the address, "My lord, please don't..."

"She couldn't survive the day after the frost, and she left with her eyes open, maybe she wanted to see you." Su Shiyu looked down at her and sighed, "Didn't the King of Xiling tell you when he sent you here?"

She froze there for a long, long time before she shed a tear.

"The King of Xiling only told me that he will kill you in three months at the latest." Linglong said slowly.

Su Shiyu frowned and thought about it, Linglong glanced at the hand he was holding with Chu Mingyun, the blood-stained hand unconsciously clenched her dress, soaking the crimson color vividly, she murmured to herself with a wry smile: "... If it’s not a white shirt, what’s the difference?”

Su Shiyu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It suits you very well."

Linglong stared up at him in a daze, couldn't help but also smiled, but her tears couldn't stop falling down.She knelt down in front of Su Shiyu, kowtowed to him with extremely solemn etiquette, choked up and said with a smile: "Linglong does not have such a good fortune in this life, if there is an afterlife... I would like to serve you as a slave and a maidservant for the rest of my life!" Hit the pillar of the hall, a blood burst.

Silence spread with the blood, and the maidservant in Tsing Yi who was guarding outside the hall consciously came up to clean up the corpse, after cleaning it, she lowered her head and waited for Chu Mingyun's instructions on how to deal with it.

During their conversation, Chu Mingyun kept his eyes down, stroked the knuckles of Su Shiyu's palm inch by inch, focused as if there was nothing else in the world.Until Su Shiyu wanted to withdraw his hand, he suddenly increased his strength to hold it tightly, and without raising his head, he told the maid in a cold voice: "Get out."

When all the maidservants backed away in panic, he raised his eyes to look at Su Shiyu, "Is it distressing to die?"

Su Shiyu's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "In order to kill me, she has a poison in her body, and she can't live for three months without today, so it's less painful."

Chu Mingyun laughed without tone, and asked, "What about me?"

Su Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Master Chu, why should you lower your status to compare with her?"

"In your eyes, aren't they all the same?" Chu Mingyun took a step forward, staring into his eyes when he was almost breathing.

Su Shiyu couldn't help taking a step back. Before he could open the distance, he was pulled into his arms as if he had completely angered Chu Mingyun. His subconscious attempt to break free was strongly suppressed, and finally he was pushed dead against his back. column.

The arms that hugged him were so tight that they seemed to be imprisoned, as if they were about to be strangled into flesh and blood. Su Shiyu let go of his strength and let him hug him. He couldn't see his face, and only a low voice sounded close to his ear: "Then she touched again?" Where have you been...?" Chu Mingyun's cold fingers caressed the back of his ear and the side of his neck, along his shoulder line and down his back, asking word by word in his ear, "...here?...or here ?”

It was clearly separated by layers of clothes, but it was like an open fire sticking to his skin, burning him so hard that he couldn't stop trembling.

Su Shiyu held down his hand that was about to walk down from his waist, and finally showed some emotion in his tone, "I don't have that kind of relationship with her."

Chu Mingyun held his hand instead, tilted his head and kissed the side of his face lightly, "Are you angry?"

"..." Su Shiyu sighed, and said calmly, "No."

He let out a long "oh", with a raised tone, and the ending sounds like a smile, Chu Mingyun said: "Is your head made of stone, or is your heart made of stone?"

Su Shiyu closed his eyes, leaned his head slightly against the pillars of the vermilion hall, and silently responded.

Chu Mingyun tightened his arms little by little, but it was still not enough, he was still uneasy, even his heartbeat was too cold, and he wanted to fill his chest with the person in his arms to fill the void.He unconsciously rubbed Su Shiyu's side face, lowered his eyes, and whispered in a low voice: "Sometimes I really wish I could just imprison you, no matter how you plan to hide your secrets, break your tendons, use Lock it up with iron chains, if you dare to think of others, you will do it, just remember my name..." His tone became more and more serious, and at the end of the words, there was a hint of cruelty, but he suddenly paused, and then hugged her tightly Some, lowered their heads and buried their faces in Su Shiyu's neck, their voices sounded a little more aggrieved and sad for no reason, "...but I don't want to part with it."

I can't bear it no matter what, even seeing you frowning also feels that it's my sin.

"World Honor."

"World Honor."

Chu Mingyun said his name aloud, and kissed along the side of his neck little by little, "I miss you so much, I want to see you so much, I miss you so much that I'm going crazy."

How lingering the words are, how tossing and turning the pain is, I can't suppress it at all.

Where he couldn't see, Su Shiyu slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to take him into his arms, but finally put it down the moment he touched his robe, as if losing all his strength.

"I still can't figure out your thoughts." Su Shiyu said softly.

"...I should have said this to you."

Su Shiyu was silent for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, "I can pretend that I don't know about the Jianzhang Palace collusion case." He paused, and added: "This is the bottom line. You also know that this is a capital offense. Be more restrained later.”

Chu Mingyun froze instantly, and the hands holding his shoulders and arms tightened. After a while, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Su Shiyu, do you think that's why I want to see you?"

He heard his own voice scattered in the silence, and heard the swaying sound of the wind outside the hall, gently and thinly transmitted into the hall.

Again no answer.This is the answer.

Chu Mingyun let go of him and suddenly turned around, took a deep breath, put his hand on the center of his brow and sneered, "A few million taels, don't care about a word, you are really generous."

Su Shiyu looked at his back quietly, with all kinds of ups and downs in his eyes, and finally turned into a bland smile, turned around and left.

After a long time, Chu Mingyun put down his hands and turned around to look, in the courtyard was the first plum blossom and snow falling in the cold year.

The next morning, Chu Taiwei said that he hadn't arrived because of his illness.

Three or four members of the Chu Party have already been taken into Yushitai and pleaded guilty. The ministers pondered in their hearts, vaguely feeling that this case is also inseparable from the Taiwei, and it happens that the Chu Taiwei is ill and cannot go to court. , Could it be that this is really unfair?They made eye contact with each other, but in the end they all remained silent and watched.

The emperor ascended the hall and took his seat, only to see Su Shiyu kneeling out of line, presenting a document with his hands over the top.

"Aiqing has decided to close the case?" Li Yanzhen asked while flipping through the pages.

"Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me." Su Shiyu said.

One sentence stunned all civil and military officials, and Li Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to look at him: "Why did Aiqing say such a thing?"

"I did not do my job well enough to find out the mastermind of this case." Su Shiyu's eyes darkened, "And Mr. Yushi Yan died unexpectedly in the mansion last night, and the evidence and clues he had disappeared without a trace. Your Majesty, I have no choice but to hastily close the case, I feel ashamed, and I implore Your Majesty to punish you."

"That's all." Li Yanzhen closed the document and said with a smile, "Haven't many major offenders been found out, and it is enough to punish. Aiqing has worked so hard, why bother to criticize herself?"

Su Shiyu turned a deaf ear, "I'm guilty, please punish me."

Li Yanzhen was very confused, watching Su Shiyu kneeling in the hall, his eyes were calm, but his brows were tightly frowned, revealing an unshakable determination.Li Yanzhen looked at him for a while, then heaved a long sigh.

Xu Yin, the servant of the Ministry of War, did not return to the mansion after the court, but immediately drove to the Taiwei's mansion.

In the study, Qin Zhao took the roster handed over by Chu Mingyun, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it enough for these people to die?"

"It's not that easy," Chu Mingyun laughed, "It depends on whether your movements can be faster than theirs, and you must not arouse suspicion."

Just as Qin Zhao was about to speak, a servant girl knocked on the door: "My lord, Mr. Xu, the servant of the Ministry of War, is visiting and is waiting for you in the front hall."

"The person who wants to bring me to justice hasn't come yet, what's he doing here without going back to the house?" Chu Mingyun didn't raise his eyes, "I'm too lazy to see you."

The maid said in a low voice: "I said that you are clever, and I wish you an early elimination of the Soviet Party."

"...What's going on?" Chu Mingyun's eyes froze, "Call him over."

Qin Zhao put away the roster and left through the secret door in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, Xu Yin arrived, and saluted with unconcealed joy, and without waiting for Chu Mingyun to ask any more questions, he consciously explained in detail what happened at the court this morning, and at the end he couldn't help but wonder, "...Speaking of which, Mr. Su is really It's strange, it's fine for me to work hard on the case, but His Majesty is obviously satisfied in the end, so he still insists on finding fault for himself." He paused, then laughed: "Of course, no matter what, I want to congratulate you sir Your!"

Xu Yin was not sure whether Chu Mingyun was involved in the Jianzhang Palace case, but he was sure of one thing: the case was so closed, rumors in court had already started secretly, after all, such a great opportunity to get rid of Chu Mingyun, Su Shiyu not only did not move Instead, he put himself in it. Some people speculate whether this is a sign of the Su family's decline, and the situation where Chu and Su are divided into courts may change from now on.

After Xu Yin finished speaking, he waited for Chu Mingyun to speak. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. He raised his eyes and saw that Chu Mingyun was playing with something in his hand and was lost in thought. He couldn't help asking questions, and Chu Mingyun spoke without a tone: "How is Su Shiyu?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I've been fined for half a year and banned for seven days. It's an unprecedented shame for the Su family." Xu Yin added with a smile, "Before the official came, I was asked by several Soviet Party officials to greet them. Take a look at your condition."

Chu Mingyun slowly raised his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Just tell them I'm not going to die yet." He leaned back on the chair and waved impatiently for the other party to leave.

Xu Yin observed his words and expressions, and could see that he was in a bad mood, so he bid farewell tactfully and left.

The room was silent, Chu Mingyun raised the jade pendant warmed by his body in front of his eyes, stared at it for a long time, and slowly clenched it tightly.
