The Young Emperor and the Fearless

The thing was in front of Heli, with all four legs retracted, leaving only a hard shell.

He Li was surprised: "Why did you give me the tortoise? You already knew that I only love birds that fly in the sky, but not animals that crawl on the ground."

Yuan Zhimi put the tortoise on the ground, gloated and said, "The man from Yu Chenglai brought it to the emperor. It is so kind that the emperor would not accept it."

Heli: "..."

Yuan Zhimi was satisfied to see Heli's ugly face, and left happily.After switching from the identity of a teacher, he even picked two of the most beautiful flowers from a bonsai and gave them to the maid waiting outside, which made the maid smile coquettishly.

Flowers are raised by He Li, not because he likes them, but because his favorite birds like them.

Seeing that no one paid attention to it, the tortoise stretched out its legs and walked slowly around the hall.

He Li didn't want to touch it, so he yelled, "Su Yu!"

Before the words were finished, Su Yu, Heli's personal bodyguard, came in response.

He Li said: "Take this turtle away, take it away quickly."

Su Yu said: "Yes."

He Li said again: "Also, bring my yellow bunting... No, I'd better go myself."

Su Yu: "..."

Su Shiwei, who was always vigorous and resolute, suddenly became silent.

He Li said: "What?"

Su Yu said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the yellow bunting took advantage of people not paying attention, pecked off a piece of wood from the wooden cage, and flew away."

Huang Bunting didn't like being locked in a cage at all, and he escaped several times, but was caught by Su Yu.So the bird was depressed, and even went on a hunger strike, but He Li was so desperate that he refused to let it go, and tried his best to please it, until there were unknown wild flowers on the roadside, and the yellow bunting seemed to smell the smell of its home nest. Slowly recover.

Unfortunately, it flew away in the end.

He Li was so angry that he threw his pen and ink all over the floor.

Su Yu knelt down in a muffled voice, waiting to be dealt with.But after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any movement, he was puzzled, and was about to look up, but Ting Heli stomped his feet and said angrily: "Get out, get away, I don't want to see you these days."

So, Su Yu retreated in despair.

In fact, Su Yu can't blame Su Yu for this matter. Although he is responsible for taking care of Huang Bunting, even if he stays close to each other, he will inevitably be negligent for a while.It's just that I was angry and couldn't think of this.

The hall was quiet again, and He Li was sulking, lay down on the ground, spread his limbs, looked at the beams and sighed, why did he raise countless birds, but none of them were familiar with them, and no one was willing to share with him close.

Thinking about it, smelling the incense in the hall, I felt dizzy and drowsy.

But before the eyes were closed, there was a very light sound, like a soft object hitting the ground.

He Li suddenly sat up, stretched out his hand, and touched a ball of paper. After spreading it out, there were willow branches drawn on one side, hanging down, no more, no less, seventeen in total.

Who is coming, let's make it clear with Li.

He turned the paper over and checked the contents, his expression changed instantly.

**

Su Yu thought about going to the bird market to pick an identical bird, but he didn't expect He Li to be summoned suddenly, so he had to give up first.

Entering the majestic palace, He Li was standing in front of the open window, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, his light yellow robe was slightly swayed by the wind, and his hair was messed up, but he didn't notice it at all. He remained motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Yu lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor."

In normal times, Su Yu would certainly not be so solemn, but now there are two reasons why he has to be so.First, he neglected to watch the emperor's favorite yellow bunting due to negligence, and second, the emperor seemed to be in a very bad mood at the moment.

Could it be that the emperor is still angry about the bird?Calling him over this time is to punish him?

Su Yuzheng was suspicious, and He Li suddenly said: "Guard Su, is there any whereabouts of Meng Qing?"

Meng Qing?

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He deliberately concealed it, and said possessively, "No."

He Li turned around, looked down at the top of Su Yu's head, and asked, "Really?"

Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he insisted: "Yes."

He Li took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the roiling anger in his heart, paused for a moment, and then said: "Su Yu, you are lying, you already know where Meng Qing is, right?"

Su Yu trembled all over, closed his eyes, and said still: "The servant never knew."

Su Yu is a stubborn person, and he always goes to the end of what he is sure of, even if it is a dead end, he will not stop dying.

He Li understood him and indulged him, but this matter must not be tolerated.

He Li said: "Then you will kneel down, and if you don't confess, you will never get up."

He Li flicked his sleeves, sat in the upright seat, propped his head and stared at Su Yu for a long while, one hand became numb, and he switched to the other.

Tick ​​tock, it started to rain outside the hall, and the moisture brought by the rain was pervasive, making He Li shiver with ice.He stood up and walked to the window lattice again, looking at the drizzle like silk, he seemed to be interested, and counted the raindrops in his heart.

In the empty hall, one person stood still and the other knelt.

He Li competes with Su Yu, and he must wait for Su Yu to speak.

I don't know how long it took, He Li rubbed his unconscious legs, and finally his heart softened.He turned around and sighed deeply to the person kneeling in front of the dragon case, his tone seemed helpless: "If you don't say it, at least give me a reason."

Su Yu's legs were already numb from his knees, and he bent his head against the cold ground, without changing his words: "Your Majesty, I really don't know the whereabouts of Mr. Meng. Over the past few years, every time there is a clue of Mr. Meng, the next moment, He disappeared without a trace. Master Meng knew that someone was looking for him, so he deliberately wanted to avoid being tracked down. This servant is really helpless."

Still don't admit it!

He Li gritted his teeth, struggling to hold back his breath, and his voice trembled repressedly when he spoke: "Su Yu, raise your head."

The guard, who had been kneeling for two hours, followed his words, his body was straight, and there was no expression on his resolute face.

Looking at Su Yu's upright and open eyes, He Li felt chills in his heart.

This is the guard who has been with him for more than ten years, even if he is lying, he still looks righteous.If he didn't feel that there was something wrong with this matter and secretly sent other people to investigate, he might still be kept in the dark by this trusted guard.

Unforgivably angry, He Li took out a ball of paper from his cuff and threw it in front of Su Yu.

Su Yu raised his eyes and looked over, and saw neatly written in black on the crumpled white paper: Meng is in Lingyang, and his life is good.

He Li almost roared: "Guard Su, you are so courageous! You are still lying to me even now! Meng Qing has been living in Lingyang City since he left the palace, and he is famous for doing silk business in that area. You never thought about hiding from me at first, you already knew it, right? But you made all kinds of excuses to say you didn't know. It's been five years, and you've been hiding it from me for five years..."

Su Yu was not panicked when the lie was exposed, but frowned slightly, and asked, "Did the emperor send someone else to investigate?"

He Li said: "I just want to ask you, have you been lying to me about Meng Qing's whereabouts?"

The crime of bullying the king is a capital crime.

Su Yu was stared straight at him, without even averting his gaze, he said in a deep voice, "Yes."

At present, he has nothing to say.

"Snapped……"

The incense candle was blown to the ground, splashing countless fine ash, and was blown by the wind from outside the window lattice, choking the mouth and nose.

He Li was so angry that he walked back and forth in front of the kneeling Su Yu with his hands behind his back, his pace getting faster and faster, without stopping for a moment.

However, Su Yu still didn't know how to read people's faces, so he added fuel to the fire and said, "If you want to kill or cut, it's all up to the emperor."

He Li Teng jumped up and said angrily, "Then you die now!"

Su Yu really pulled out the short blade in the boot, and without saying a word, he wanted to wipe his neck.

He Li was so angry that his face turned red, he knocked out the short blade in his hand, and cursed: "If I let you die, I will die. Why did you ask you to investigate the trace of a person, but you tried every means to hide it, and you didn't obey my orders."

Su Yu let the short blade fall aside, and stood upright on his knees, his eyes downcast, and his face was expressionless again.
