The vicious supporting actor wants to be a good guy

Today's streets are much noisier than the streets in the past. A group of troops in military uniforms are searching from house to house. Seeing how big the battle is, people are curious and talk about it.

"Hey? Have you heard? After winter, the Holy Majesty's physical condition has been deteriorating. How many times have you called the princes to have a long talk?"

"Yes, yes, I've heard that too. It seems that it's because I'm worried that the princes will have different ideas. After all, the prince is also an idiot who doesn't live up to expectations. Hey, I don't know when the emperor will—"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't let people hear you, you can't talk nonsense. I heard that the empress is very worried, and she specially invited a master of Taoism to see a doctor for the saint!"

"A master of Taoism? Then what?"

"That Taoist priest is really powerful. I don't know what method he did. His Majesty's complexion has improved a lot. I also heard... what did the Taoist priest say? There are evil spirits at work!"

"Ghost? What is that? A monster?"

"I don't know. It's just that the Taoist priest looks like a fairy, and he has cured His Majesty's stubborn illness. He is favored by His Majesty! His Majesty is convinced of this, so he started looking for that evil ghost everywhere!"

"Could there really be evil spirits! Ouch! It's so scary!"

"Don't tell me, there are quite a few strange things that happened recently!"

"How to say?"

"Hasn't it been a long time since you saw the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion? There are rumors that he is missing, but in fact...some people say that he is haunted by evil spirits!"

"No way! It's so scary!"

"Shh, don't be so loud, so now, everyone in the capital is searching for the young master's trace!"

"But shouldn't that dude be in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"No! He hasn't shown up for a long time, and he hasn't even been summoned by the Holy Spirit. No one knows where he is!"

"By the way! I just remembered another thing. Wasn't there an alley full of beggars half a year ago? Those people suddenly disappeared overnight, and no one cared. I'm eating the evil spirits!"

"Don't even mention it, this young master looks like an evil ghost descended into the world, relying on himself as the young master of the prime minister's mansion, he burns, kills, loots, commits all kinds of crimes, if you say that he is true, no one doubts it!"

"For such a scourge, just burn him to death!"

"Yes! Eliminate harm for the people! Burn him to death!"

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind blows away people's gossip like a knife, leaving only the whistling wind in my ears.

Yueting held the umbrella low, covered her face and watched the search team for a while, then continued to move forward, leaving straight snow marks in the snow.

He returned to the mansion, and talked with Shen Haoran and Li Yu about the recent rumors in the capital.

Shen Haoran couldn't help frowning, and tapped the table with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.

Li Yu paused, and then said, "Queen Li is trying to force me to appear?"

"Obviously." Shen Haoran replied. "Perhaps it was because of Ningyuan Mountain that she discovered the clue."

After all, the shadow army she sent was wiped out, and there was not a single bandit left, so there must be someone else who hid in the dark and made all these arrangements.

Therefore, she suspected Li Yu.

"Perhaps she was afraid that I would cause trouble for her by hiding in the dark, so she thought of forcing me to appear in this way."

Li Yu sighed, feeling that things had become a little tricky.

He still doesn't know if Empress Li is planning to tear her face off in the open.

"Not only to force you to show up, I suspect that she has already taken action against Father." Shen Haoran's eyes dimmed, and he said indifferently, "Father was unwell a while ago, and he deliberately let us go over and talked about some things, but after Not long after, Taoist Mo appeared and performed a ceremony."

"Since that ritual ceremony, Father's health has improved a lot, and he trusts Taoist Mo in every possible way, and treats him as a distinguished guest."

"At the beginning, Father didn't believe in evil spirits, but after being mentioned by the Taoist Mo, he believed it, and sent his men to hunt and arrest them in the capital."

"Empress Li even harassed you, saying that you are an evil spirit descended into the world with evil intentions."

Li Yu listened and shook his head, "Queen Li must have increased the dose of poison to make the Holy Majesty's condition worse, and then sent someone to pretend to do it to reduce the dose of poison, so that the Holy Majesty's health will improve and gain the trust of the Holy Majesty."

"Speak again, and mention to the Holy One that there are evil spirits descending into the world, and the Holy One will believe it. Empress Li took advantage of this and waited for the opportunity to search for my whereabouts, in order to catch me and imprison the name of the evil spirit. On me, let me submit."

"Then, in the name of killing relatives righteously, she removed me, the uncertain factor."

Seeing that Li Yu understood the current situation very well, Shen Haoran couldn't help but appreciate his intelligence. Looking at the situation, what needs to be done at this time is to think about how to deal with it all.

"You don't have to worry about her, after all, you are hiding with me now, and no one else knows except the two Highnesses Leng and Yixuan."

Even so, Li Yu always felt a bad premonition.

It always feels like something important is missing.

"If she attacks Xiurong at this time, it will be troublesome."

After all, Xiurong was the young wife of the prime minister's mansion on the bright side, if the prime minister's wife took the opportunity to embarrass him, she didn't know what would happen.

Seeing that Li Yu was so worried about Leng Xiurong, Shen Haoran paused for a second. Although he knew that he was kind, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Now that the two Highnesses of the West Shu Kingdom are still there, Empress Li and the others should not embarrass Princess Leng too much." But...it's hard to say in private.

Especially, once they knew that Leng Xiurong was a pawn arranged by Shen Yixuan in the prime minister's mansion, then Leng Xiurong would be in danger.

But he changed his mind, after all, Leng Xiurong is Shen Yixuan's person, and Huayin is protecting her in private, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Hearing what Shen Haoran said, Li Yu was relieved a little, "You don't have to worry too much about Li Qin's affairs."

Qing Nuo is also by her side, and nothing will happen, so maybe the one who should really worry about it is herself.

The injury on his right hand has almost recovered. Although there are still some inconveniences, it is much better than when he was injured.

However, according to Leng Yuanhan, it will be difficult to use iron rods in the future.

The bone injury was not serious, but the serious one was a torn tendon in his hand, making it difficult to make a violent attack like using an iron rod.

"Now, Empress Li will definitely find an opportunity to force me to appear."

He ignored the call of the Holy Majesty the last few times, and hid himself from appearing in front of everyone.

And this abnormal behavior has long made Shengshang feel that something is wrong, and Shengshang even asked Leng Muqing several times about Li Yu's whereabouts, but Leng Muqing did not give a clear reply.

"If you show up now, you will only fall into her trap."

"But I can't hide forever." Could it be possible to hide until the finale?

"The Holy Majesty is already suspicious. If I don't show up at this time, they will definitely put the name of evil ghost on my head."

"If it is discovered that I am on your side, it will only implicate you, and it will be useless to explain it at that time."

Shen Haoran knew, but he was still worried about him.

"In that case, let Xue Ling pretend to be you and appear in front of everyone in your name, while you change your appearance and hide by my side to see what Empress Li wants to do."

Hearing Shen Haoran's suggestion, Li Yu was stunned, and asked in surprise, "Pretend to be me? Human skin mask?"

"That's right, Xueling at least knows martial arts, even if there is a problem later, he can retreat unscathed."

"But I can't let him take the risk instead of me... Empress Li must want to accuse me of the evil spirit's name, so she has probably already figured out how to expose that I am not a young master in front of everyone."

"If she catches Xue Ling in public and tears off Xue Ling's human skin mask, Xue Ling's situation will be very dangerous."

Li Yu paused for a moment before seriously answering, "But I'm different. My body really belongs to the Young Master."

"If they want a body test, and it's me, there will be no problem."

"But..." Shen Haoran knew this, but he just didn't want to put him in danger, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it."

"No." Li Yu was confident, "At least I know how to prove my innocence. As long as I can prove that I am not an evil spirit descended into the world, there will be a turning point."

"You don't understand Empress Li's cruelty at all. You only think about how to prove that you are not an evil spirit, but have you ever thought that if she lures you to appear, and then uses the hands of everyone to get rid of you, she may also be knowing about you. After the trace, I will directly kill you."

Thinking of this, Shen Haoran couldn't help but increase his tone, "I can't put you in danger."

"But I can't let Xue Ling take the risk for me—"

"Then can I put you in danger!"

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment when he saw him interrupting his words in an irritable tone.

This was the first time I saw him worrying about himself so much.

"I……"

Seeing the frightened expression on Li Yu's face, Shen Haoran realized that his tone just now was a little heavy, and could not help but clenched his palms tightly, and slowly hugged him in his arms.

Li Yu felt his hands trembling.

"I'm worried. I don't want to wait for the dragon lantern to fall and watch you get hurt like last time, but I can't do anything..."

The tone was never compromised and uneasy.

"Knowing that their target is you, it is even more impossible for me to let you take risks alone."

"But..." Li Yu couldn't help but soften his heart, "Then... so, I'll go back first, and let Xueling replace me after I figure out their intentions, okay?"

The two argued for a long time, and finally, Shen Haoran compromised.

"Yes, but you must let Yueting stay by your side at all times, don't act alone, I will send Xueling to watch in the dark, if there is any problem, let Xueling replace you."

"it is good."

Before they could continue discussing what to do next, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

Hearing Feng Ya's words outside the door, Li Yu hurriedly let him in.

"what happened?"

"Yes! I heard that the prime minister's wife arrested all the servants who served the young master and Lu Yi, as if she wanted to use this to force the young master to appear!"

When Li Yu heard this, he slightly opened his eyes in bewilderment.

——Madam Prime Minister, what is she trying to do!
