The emperor's focus is really always on his power!

At this time, Ren Jiexu and Su You didn't know that their poor assistant in the system was locked up. The two of them spent too much energy singing today, and now they have fallen asleep with great heart.

Who cares, the initiative has been handed over to the emperor anyway, and he can't do anything now that he is locked up, so he naturally takes the opportunity to rest so that he can fight again in case of trouble.

There were faint footsteps outside, and Ren Jiexu woke up immediately, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the room was already dark, and no one came to light them.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch Zhao Qi's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Susu, wake up quickly." Ren Jiexu woke up Su You and pulled him up.

Sleepy-eyed, Su You followed Ren Jiexu out of bed and walked to the door. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Emperor Ning He came in, and the two saluted together.

"My son sees my father."

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

A palace man came in behind with a candlestick, put it on the table, saluted Emperor Ning He, and then left the room.

The candlelight reflected an unpredictable expression on Emperor Ning He's face: "Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ning He put his hands behind his back, walked to the table and sat down: "Xing Zhou, you go out first, I have something to say to Ru Chi."

Ren Jiexu looked at Su You hesitantly, and Su You signaled him to follow suit.

"I obey the order." The big devil had no choice but to leave and close the door.

Emperor Ning He rested one arm on the round table, twirled the finger on his thumb, and asked seemingly casually: "Ru Chi, are you planning all this now?"

With a "plop", Su You knelt down in front of him, and said with a sad expression, "I beg your father to enlighten me, I just want to avenge my mother and concubine!"

Emperor Ning He smiled softly: "For so many years, I have misjudged you. I thought you were aloof and honest, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Your scheming is like Ya He Ruxun and the two combined may not be able to compare with you."

Su You: "..."

That's not true.

The father praised it absurdly.

"It's true that I have no quarrel with the world. If my mother and concubine hadn't died of injustice, I would never have used such thoughts!" Su You grabbed Emperor Ning He's robe, and said sincerely, "I beg your father to uphold justice, Once this matter is over, my son is willing to go far away to the frontier and be an ordinary citizen, and will never covet the throne, let alone fight brother with brother!"

Emperor Ning He put away his expression, his eyes gleamed under the light of the candle, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

Seeing his appearance, Su You became more certain that this aging emperor was not blinded by what the beloved concubine did. He indulged Concubine Li and his son for many years, but it was all playing with the emperor's mind.

This gave Su You the certainty of victory, but at the same time made him feel even more chilled.

Over the years, Emperor Ning He had indulged Concubine Li, mother and son, so what kind of thoughts did he have about the death of his mother and concubine back then?

Does he... know?

If he knows the truth and can hold back, then his so-called deep affection for his mother and concubine is just pretending!

Haha, Su You couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, how naive he is to believe that the emperor has true feelings!

"In the past two days, Uncle Can Guo and Lier's papers have suddenly increased in the court hall." Emperor Ning He said suddenly, "Ruya suppressed most of the fierce words and did not show them to me, but he also wanted to. Shallow."

That's right, in this palace, Emperor Ning He's eyeliner is everywhere, what can really hide it from him!

But Jiang Ruya's actions further proved that Su You's previous suspicions were correct. He was deliberately protecting Concubine Li and Jiang Ruxun.

Su You made a dazed look: "Perhaps elder brother doesn't want to make father angry..."

Emperor Ning He sneered: "I'm not interested in knowing what he thinks, but those who wrote the notes are all from Taifu Li's party, Ru Chi, I didn't expect that you and your father-in-law are so close , no wonder you refuse to persuade you to marry someone else."

"I keep saying that I don't covet the throne, but that I'm playing it very well." He stared at Su You, "How do you make me believe you?!"

Su You immediately kowtowed and said, "I beg your father to learn from you! My minister and Tai Tuo have never had any contact, this time they are forced to form an alliance because they want to avenge their loved ones!"

"The one you love?" Emperor Ning He frowned and said, "This Taifu Li...you mean, your unmarried concubine also died in an untimely death?!"

"exactly!"

Now there is no need to hide anything, so Su You revealed the whole plan, including the truth about the death of the dancer from the Western Regions, and also told Emperor Ning He the truth about the death of Li Taifu's daughter Qian'er.

Emperor Ning He didn't change his face, but his eyes became very complicated: "It turns out that Sun Wuyi was specially arranged by him."

Su You: "..."

The emperor's focus is really always on his power!

"Teacher Li has nothing to do, he is worried that Concubine Li will attack you, Royal Father!"

Su You also lied without the slightest blush and heartbeat, "The imperial hospital is also full of Concubine Li's people, if they use the method of killing my mother to murder the father, wouldn't the father be in danger all day long?!"

Emperor Ning He heard the words, but did not say a word.

Not long ago, Sun Wuyi had already told him what was wrong with that bowl of dessert.

The tonic is not poisonous, but it is not suitable for Emperor Ning He to take it. With his current body of qi deficiency and blood weakness, after eating this tonic, he will become hyperactive for a short time, and after that, it will only cause the fire to rise, causing dry mouth and throat, upset and hot. Preferring things like cloud and rain, over time, will make his body even more depleted, turning him into a crumbling building.

Coupled with the incident about the dancers from the Western Regions, Emperor Ning He could immediately think of Concubine Li Gui's sinister intentions.

This group of people ruined their bodies, and when the time is right, they will concoct a shocking scandal for the prince. First, the prince can lose his position as the crown prince. At that time, everything in the court will fall into their hands.

So vicious!

Therefore, even though he saw that Jiang Ruchi and Li Taifu planned all this today, he was not really angry. Now talking to the other party, he just wanted to beat this son who had hidden schemes first.

Unexpectedly, new information was obtained.

Li Taifu's daughter is also under the control of Concubine Li Gui, which is "reasonable" now that I think about it.

If Ru Chi and Li Taifu really become Weng son-in-law, then they will definitely form a stable alliance in the court in the future. After Ru Ya loses the crown prince, Ru Chi will be the first choice no matter in terms of age or talent. Candidates for the crown prince.

This is very unfavorable for Concubine Li Gui to support Ru Xun.

They must act first to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ning He's chest burst into anger, and he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood!

"Since you are here to avenge Hui'er, do you have sufficient evidence?" He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, and asked.

Su You immediately took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom, and presented it with both hands: "This is the confession written by the person who murdered the mother and concubine, please read it!"

Emperor Ning He received the confession, and looked carefully, the words on it were crooked, and the writing was also in vernacular. It could be seen that it was not written by any learned person.

"This person was almost killed by Concubine Li's subordinates that day. She escaped by chance and kept her name incognito for ten years. She just wanted to return to her homeland before she died. It took me a lot of effort to find her." Su You said quickly, "If Royal Father If you don't believe me, I will send her to Zhao Prison, where Yong'an Wei will personally interrogate her!"

Emperor Ning He is already determined to deal with Concubine Li Gui, all he needs is evidence, whether the evidence is true or not, he doesn't care at all.

"Is there any evidence for the death of your unmarried concubine?"

"Yes! Before Qian'er's death, Sun Wuyi was the one who diagnosed and treated Qian'er, and he also discovered some of the doubts later. The emperor will know when he asks." Su You said earnestly, "Recently, Erchen and Li Taifu have tracked down the people who gave the wedding clothes that day. Wait, although most of them were silenced, there are always those who slipped through the net and survived until now. Those people are also willing to testify!"

Emperor Ning He sighed deeply at this moment: "Okay. The two murder cases of your mother concubine and Li Taifu's daughter will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, and Yong'an Guard will respond. I will definitely seek justice for your mother and wife!"

"I thank you, Father!" Su You excitedly kowtowed several times to Emperor Ning He, his forehead was blue.

Emperor Ning He reached out to help him: "Okay, okay, you are also sincere, with so much thought behind your back, I don't care about you."

Su You straightened his waist and said seriously: "If the great revenge is avenged, I am willing to accept the crime!"

"Of course I want to punish you." Emperor Ning He said with a half-smile, "There are two corpses of people from the Western Regions hidden in the basement that looks like an outside room. Did you do this?"

Yonganwei acted swiftly. Since he wanted to investigate Jiang Ruxun, he had to dig three feet deep. Everyone related to him had to be investigated. The first thing he did was to search the yard.

It didn't take them much effort to find the tightly wrapped, rotten and smelly corpse in the basement of the outer room.

After a test, it is easy to find out that the woman was cut off to death, but the man was tortured to death.

Even if Jiang Ruxun kept his mouth shut, many things could be justified, not to mention that the servants in Duan Wang's mansion saw the vicious Yong'an Guard, and many of them couldn't stand the scare, so they all confessed.

Su You was startled: "..."

"Coincidentally, Yong'anwei "just happened" to meet the deputy head of the Western Region Dance Troupe who was tried to be silenced by Ru Xun, and the other party knew everything. "Emperor Ning He said meaningfully, "It also "coincidentally" intercepted the killer who killed the dancer from the Western Regions for Ruxun in Duanwang's mansion. Tsk, that person really doesn't look like a tough guy. He has not been tortured in Zhao Prison. He took the initiative to confess. "

"Chi'er, you didn't train your own manpower. All of this was done by Xingzhou for you, right? He not only understands Yonganwei's way of doing things, but also has acquainted with many people in the world. With his help, it is really half the effort!"

Hearing Emperor Ning He mention Sui Xingzhou, Su You broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed again.

"Rowing a boat is to obey the orders of my sons and ministers, please pay attention to father and emperor!"

At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "wow", and Ren Jiexu slid and knelt and rushed to Su You's side with a nervous expression. His Highness conspired, and the humble minister is guilty, let His Majesty deal with it, and only ask His Majesty to spare His Highness!"

"Xingzhou!" Unexpectedly, he dared to rush in, Su You's heart rose in his throat, "These things have nothing to do with you!"

Ren Jiexu looked at him seriously: "Your Highness, your affairs are all related to me."

"Father, don't listen to Xingzhou's nonsense, he is a bodyguard, he just obeys my orders, what kind of master can he be!"

Su You stopped arguing with Ren Jiexu, lest he say anything desperate, "I didn't want to target Ru Xun at first, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious and wanted to entrap elder brother. I had no choice but to make such a terrible plan!" "

Emperor Ning He sneered: "Ru Xun is vicious, but he didn't expect the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow. If you hadn't been prepared, how could you have discovered the killer's attack by such a coincidence, and swapped Ru Ya with the man from the Western Regions in time?" ?”

"Concubine Li killed the minister's mother and concubine, killed the minister's unmarried wife, and tried to kill the emperor's father. Her Sima Zhao's intentions are well known, so how can the minister not be on guard against Ru Xun's scheme to harm the elder brother?!"

Su You wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly, "I will never lose my dear one again!"

Ren Jiexu slammed his head on the ground with a "boom", but he couldn't stop it, so he could only accompany him.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Emperor Ning He said, "I know you're doing it for revenge and to protect your brother, so I'll say it again, I forgive you. You're not joking, so there's no need to mention this matter again."

Hearing this, Su You secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Emperor Ning He didn't just let him go casually, he probably did a quick search and found no evidence of him cultivating his own power. As for forming an alliance with Li Taifu, it was just a hasty alliance, and there were not many intertwined relationships.

It can be seen that he really has no ambition to covet the throne, so he will not be held accountable.

Su You dared to act quickly because he was well prepared;

Secondly, it is natural that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. It doesn't matter if everyone goes into the water together. Emperor Ning He will check if he wants to. He is the one who is the least afraid of checking.

Emperor Ning He got up and said: "You two rest here first, sail the boat and take good care of Ru Chi."

Ren Jiexu pressed his blue forehead, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"

After Emperor Ning He left, he immediately helped Su You up: "Susu, how are you?!"

Su You kowtowed a few more times than him, and the skin on his forehead was broken and covered with a layer of blood, which made the big devil feel very distressed.

His little prince was born with thin skin and tender flesh, spoiled and spoiled, how could he ever suffer such a crime?

Because the memory of being hit by the board flooded into my heart, Ren Jiexu couldn't help but hugged Su You tightly: "Why do you do this, just make sense of it, and what are you really doing? Where did your usual mind go?"

"Oh, you have to devote yourself to acting." Although Su You's head is a little dizzy, he is quite satisfied with the result so far, "Kowtow a few times, you can get what you want, and keep us safe. This can be regarded as a lucrative deal. .”

Ren Jiexu said angrily: "I think you are really stupid, what a huge profit, we paid the price of the previous life!"

"Okay, okay... I'll just say hello... Don't be angry." Su You kissed him on the face, "People always look forward, don't they?"

Ren Jiexu looked at the wound on his forehead with good eyes, and sighed: "I'm not angry, just distressed - I'll send someone to send the imperial doctor over."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was the voice of the gatekeeper: "His Royal Highness Chun Wang, the Holy Majesty sent an imperial doctor to heal your wounds."

From this point of view, Emperor Ning He really did not intend to deal with him, Su You was overjoyed: "Come in!"

The person who came in was Imperial Physician Sun, and the three of them couldn't help laughing when they met.

"Congratulations, Your Highness finally got what he wanted!" Imperial Physician Sun saluted.

Su You smiled from ear to ear, but he had to be cautious: "It's too early to say this now."

Imperial Physician Sun shook his head and said: "After the tonic was found to be faulty, the Holy Majesty has already become murderous. Concubine Li is doomed this time."

"Concubine Li Gui does other things, maybe the Holy One can bear it, but if it is plotted against him, it must be no longer tolerated." Ren Jiexu said coldly, "These people have committed their own crimes and cannot live!"
