This is your world

Chapter 552 Pretending to sleep

Beijing.

In a certain teahouse.

There were several businessmen traveling from north to south sitting in twos and threes.

At this moment, several businessmen were discussing something, with a bit of sadness on their faces.

"When will this day end?"

A businessman couldn't help but sigh.

The partner next to him also sighed: "Yes, we have been trapped in the capital for half a month. If we don't go back quickly, I'm afraid the goods we have on hand will be destroyed..."

"Don't let this matter cause trouble. You said it was not good when His Majesty would die, but he died at this time..."

Emperor Zhao died, and the capital fell into unprecedented alert.

Almost all people traveling from south to north are strictly restricted from traveling. These merchants originally came from the south and wanted to transport a batch of goods to Beizhou.

As a result, after the news of Emperor Zhao's death came, he was trapped in the capital. Without special permission, they were prohibited from leaving Beijing.

For businessmen like them who make a living by running errands, this is simply life-threatening.

"Shh, you can't say this!"

The businessman next to him quickly blocked his friend's mouth.

This is the capital city. Emperor Zhao has passed away and a new emperor has ascended the throne. The city is patrolled by city defense troops and there are countless spies in the dark.

If one of them is not good, he will be arrested and sent to Jingzhao Mansion.

"Oh, it's so difficult!"

The businessman also realized that there was something wrong with his words and quickly shut up. However, although the discussion among several people became quieter, the sadness on their faces still lingered.

Not far from the tea house, there were several "people from all walks of life" sitting by the window.

Judging from the clothes of these people, they all look like knights in the world.

Several people overheard the chats of the businessmen next to them, and one of the middle-aged men sneered: "The late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Life for us people is not getting better, but it is getting worse... Look. Now, we are not even allowed to talk!"

The middle-aged man's voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, but it was just enough for everyone in the quiet teahouse to hear clearly.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the group of people by the window, with a look of admiration in their eyes.

Warrior!

How dare you say such a thing at such a critical time?

Don't want to die?

You know, countless people have been arrested in Beijing recently for such dangerous remarks!

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. But only those who spread rumors and make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court are still imprisoned.

Now, there are still people who dare to make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court, even if they don't care about their lives?

Some timid people nearby had already started to get up and leave. They were worried about being raped in front of them.

Only the few 'charlatans' by the window still went their own way without any worries.

"Who says it's not the case? No matter what, it will always be ordinary people like us who are unlucky..."

Another accomplice curled his lips and glanced out the window: "Can the imperial court stop our mouths and stop the mouths of everyone in the world? Why not go outside and see what is happening in the world now!"

"Guys, please be careful what you say!"

The businessmen next to them saw that they were still speaking dangerously and quickly tried to dissuade them.

"What are you afraid of?"

The middle-aged man sneered: "The worst case scenario is that you'll catch me and behead me. So what?"

"I would like to know what crime I have committed!"

Several merchants shook their heads, stood up and paid, and left in a hurry.

They did not dare to provoke the imperial court.

Soon, only the three people in the corner of the teahouse were left.

The three of them were still sitting aside with calm expressions.

Another young man looked at the middle-aged man: "How is the situation?"

"The news has spread to all states and counties, and there will definitely be no way to stop it!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "The imperial court wants to silence the people of the world, how easy is it?"

Another person also shook his head: "The death of the late emperor was so strange, there must be some unknown secret... How can the court convince the world if the court doesn't give an explanation?"

"..."

Listening to the dangerous remarks of these people, the shopkeeper on the side of the teahouse was trembling with fear.

Are these people crazy?

How dare they discuss such a topic here?

court death!

Just when the shopkeeper was panicking, a neat row of footsteps appeared outside the teahouse.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw several heavily armed city defense troops.

"This is it, arrest them!"

Before the shopkeeper could react, the group rushed directly into the teahouse.

The shopkeeper on the side finally came to his senses, and sure enough, the city defense army was here!

Those 'charlatans' upstairs are probably going to be in trouble!

However, when the people from the city defense army arrived upstairs, they found that the upstairs was already empty, and those "people from all walks of life" were no longer around.

"Where are the people?"

"If you can't run away, chase after me!"

"..."

Outside the teahouse, on the roof not far away.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Act separately. The mission entrusted to us by the prince this time must be completed!"

"yes!"

The other two people dispersed, leaving the young man standing there, looking towards the Jokhang Palace in the distance, muttering to himself.

"It's my prince's turn to take the throne of Jozhao..."

"..."

Su Mansion.

"Madam, take the medicine!"

In the quiet room, the maid walked to the bed with the medicine.

On the bed, Mother Su looked haggard, her eyes were dull, and she was staring blankly at the ceiling.

When the maid on the side saw this scene, she felt slightly relieved.

Ever since the eldest young master was assassinated, the madam has almost gone crazy!

These days, he beat and scolded them frequently, smashed things from time to time, and scolded them for venting their anger on servants like them.

Even yesterday, my wife fell seriously ill and was bedridden!

After the palace doctor came to visit, he just comforted his wife and asked her to take good care of her health.

After suffering this serious illness, the lady calmed down and stopped being crazy. She stayed in a daze all day and her face became paler.

The maid's voice did not cause much reaction to Mother Su who was lying in bed.

"mother!"

Just then, a voice came from outside the room.

Immediately afterwards, Su Cheng's figure rushed in covered with dust.

"Second Young Master!"

The maid spoke quickly.

Su Cheng walked into the room and panicked slightly when he saw his mother who was pale, eyes dull and haggard.

"What happened to my mother?"

The maid on the side whispered: "Madam is sick..."

"What?!"

Su Cheng walked to the bed with an anxious expression and looked at Su's mother on the bed worriedly: "Mom, how are you? Don't scare me!"

After hearing Su Cheng's voice, Mother Su, who was lying on the bed, finally seemed to come back to her senses.

His eyes slowly fell on Su Cheng, and after staring at Su Cheng for a long time, a hint of brilliance appeared in his originally gray eyes.

"Cheng, Cheng'er..."

"Mom, I'm here!"

Seeing his mother in this state, even the heartless Su Cheng was a little sad.

Su's mother did not speak, but looked at Su Cheng calmly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes that was rarely revealed in the past.

In the past, she almost ignored her little son.

Then, Mother Su slowly raised her head and glanced at the maid behind her.

"You, get out!"

When the maid saw this, she quickly bent down and exited the room.

Then, only mother Su and Su Cheng were left in the room.

"Your brother is dead!"

After the maid left the room, Mother Su looked at Su Cheng in front of her and spoke slowly.

The voice was still mixed with hatred and unwillingness.

"I see……"

Su Cheng also looked a little heavy and disappointed. No matter how dandy he was, he was still his brother after all. The death of his brother was also a big blow to him.

What's more, the person who assassinated my brother turned out to be Sister Qiuyue...

Su Cheng couldn't accept this no matter what.

"Now, you are the only bloodline of our Su family!"

Mother Su stared at Su Cheng and said slowly: "In the future, you will inherit the position of the Su family."

"I?"

Facing his mother's scorching eyes, Su Cheng was a little at a loss.

Inherit the position of the Su family?

This was something he had never thought about.

That was supposed to be what his brother did...but what about him?

He just needs to settle down and be a playboy for the second generation.

But what about now?

Su Cheng was confused and flustered for a moment.

"Mom, you are the only son I have!"

Mother Su's voice was sad and heavy.

In fact, she has never been very fond of this younger son.

She is naughty and ignorant, and has always been in trouble since she was a child. Compared with his brother, Su Cheng had almost no advantages whatsoever.

But even if he doesn't like it, he is still his child after all. Now that Xing'er has been assassinated, Cheng'er has become her only hope.

"I know, mother..."

Su Cheng nodded heavily, "I, I tried hard not to disappoint my mother..."

"One more thing!"

Mother Su spoke in a low voice.

"What's up?"

"Avenge your brother!"

The hatred in Su's mother's eyes could not be concealed.

"Revenge, revenge?!"

Su Cheng froze on the spot.

revenge?

Su Xing was killed by Sister Qiuyue. If he wanted revenge, wouldn't he be looking for...

For a moment, the expression on Su Cheng's face froze.

"What? You don't want to avenge your brother?"

Seeing the stunned look on his face, Su's mother's face turned gloomy.

"No, it's not..." Su Cheng was a little conflicted at the moment and didn't know what to do for a while.

"That bastard killed your brother. Not only did she kill your brother, she also wanted to kill me..."

Mother Su stared at Su Cheng: "If you don't kill her to avenge your brother, sooner or later, I will die in her hands!"

"This, how is this possible?"

A look of horror appeared on Su Cheng's face: "Qiu, Sister Qiuyue is not that kind of person..."

"Qiuyue?"

Mother Su's eyes were sinister: "Do you think she was the real murderer of Xing'er?"

Su Cheng was stunned: "It's difficult, isn't it?"

Mother Su looked at her youngest son's confused expression, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's time for me to tell you some things..."

"..."

When Li Beifeng returned to the courtyard, he met the little maid Yun'er.

When Yun'er saw Li Beifeng, her eyes lit up: "Uncle, are you back?"

Then he thought of something and quickly pulled Li Beifeng aside.

Li Beifeng was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

Why is this little maid so sneaky?

"Uncle, where did you go last night?"

Yuner asked quickly.

"I went out to do something...what happened?"

"Have you told the lady?"

Yuner asked.

"this……"

Li Beifeng was startled, as if there really wasn't one.

"Then you're done!"

Yun'er's face suddenly showed a look of sympathy: "Miss is angry!"

"angry?"

"Yes, you didn't come back all night last night. The lady waited for you all night..."

"Early this morning, the lady was sulking. It's so scary..."

Yun'er felt a little aggrieved when she thought of being kicked out angrily by the young lady in the morning.

It was obviously my uncle's problem, why did you turn your anger on yourself?

"Ah this..."

Li Beifeng was a little surprised. Is he angry?

Isn't Nizi getting angry too easily now?

However, Li Beifeng didn't take it to heart and waved his hand: "It's okay. Where is she? I'll go check on her!"

"The lady is in the room..."

Yun'er seemed to have thought of something and whispered: "Go and coax the lady quickly. Say something nice and don't make the lady angry... The lady is very easy to coax..."

"Do not worry!"

Li Beifeng nodded, turned around and came to the door of Qing Ning's room.

After knocking on the door, there was no response in the room, so Li Beifeng opened the door and walked in.

Not far outside the door, Yun'er poked out her little head and looked over there furtively. After Li Beifeng entered the room, she tiptoed to get closer.

"Yun'er?"

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Li Xinyi stood not far away, looking at the little maid with a strange expression.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh!"

Yun'er immediately made a gesture of silence, then pointed to the lady's room next to her and blinked.

Li Xinyi glanced at it subconsciously, and then realized something. His face suddenly turned slightly red, and he subconsciously lowered his voice: "You, you eavesdropped..."

"My name is Miss Concern..."

Yun'er spoke confidently, then quietly came to the door of the room and pricked up her ears.

Li Xinyi on the side saw this scene and instinctively felt that this seemed a little bad, but... he followed Yun'er unconsciously and followed Yun'er.

Anyway, Yun'er is here, and I... just care about Yun'er.

Li Xinyi found a reason to feel at ease and joined in.

inside the room.

There was a vague figure on the bed.

still sleeping?

"Ling Ning, I'm back!"

Li Beifeng shouted softly.

There seemed to be some slight movement on the bed, but it quickly returned to calm.

no respond.

Li Beifeng chuckled, knowing that she was probably pretending to sleep. However, it was not revealed.

"I'm not awake yet!"

Li Beifeng seemed to be saying to himself: "In this case, I'll go find Su Shan first..."

After saying that, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and the room quickly fell into silence again.

"asshole?!!"

When she heard the door slamming, Shen Qingning, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, finally couldn't help it anymore. She sat up suddenly, with an angry look on her red face.

unacceptable!

This bastard didn't come home all night, and when he came back, he dared to go find Sister Su first.

Where did you put yourself?

Angry and aggrieved!

"Too deceiving..."

However, Shen Qingning was stunned before she even had time to say the word 'very'.

Beside the bed, Li Beifeng was still standing there, looking at her meaningfully with a smile on his face.

"woke up?"

"..."
