Conspiracy

Chapter 172

"Oh! This beast is quite human? Come on, put them all in the dungeon for me, and hand them over to my father tomorrow!"

Xiao He looked at the unconscious Gu Yunshu, and couldn't help persuading, "His Royal Highness, Mr. Gu urgently needs a doctor's diagnosis and treatment. If you delay any longer, you may be seriously injured and die."

Shang Yici wished that Gu Yunshu would die as soon as possible, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart. The throne, which was so easy to get, was lost in such an inexplicable way!

"Gu Yunshu deceived the king, I think he has served the court for many years, and will send someone to treat him later."

In short, Shang Yici was determined to take this opportunity to get rid of Su Zhen and Gu Yunshu.

Just at this time, several men in black descended from the sky, and the forbidden soldiers immediately drew their swords to face each other.

However, they didn't seem to have much hostility towards the Forbidden Army. On the contrary, they were full of killing intent towards the men brought by Shang Yici.

Su Zhen looked at this scene in surprise, helped Gu Yunshu back to the side, and watched them fight.

One of the men in black suddenly rushed towards her, and Su Zhen was thinking about countermeasures.Suddenly found that the man blinked at her, she understood, the corners of her lips curled up, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The few people who were in charge of guarding them soon became entangled with the man in black. Su Zhen deliberately carried Le Shu around to make trouble, which was not helpful, and even caused them to accidentally hurt their own people from time to time.

Looking for the right time, he deliberately exposed his flaws, allowing the man in black to successfully rescue Gu Yunshu.

The chaos quickly subsided, and Su Zhen hid behind Yu Changqing, looking at Shang Yici with a smile, the complacency and sarcasm in her eyes were completely undisguised.

Shang Yici ordered people to continue to search for the assassin's whereabouts, and his anger could not be dispelled.

"Bold Su Zhen, how dare you team up with an assassin to rob Gu Yunshu!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, if we are really guilty, how can we come back and throw ourselves into the trap, and play a rescue show with you?" Su Zhen shrugged indifferently, "His Royal Highness Qin, don't you want to put me in the prison? If you don’t hurry, it’s probably dawn soon!”

Her expression was calm, but the implication was to remind Shang Yici that he would miss the best time to kill her.

"Wait! Let's see who dares to touch Zhen'er!"

Su Tingye, who was running around for Su Zhen's affairs, finally arrived with the Taifu's guards. Seeing that Su Zhen was about to be taken away, a surge of anger suddenly rose in his chest.

Even in the face of Shang Yici, his tone was still not kind, "King Qin! What do you mean!"

"Your Majesty Taifu, you ordered the young master to cover up the fraudulent judgment, and together with the assassins took away Gu Yunshu. This king will order someone to put him in the dungeon, and wait for the emperor to make a decision tomorrow."

Su Tingye clenched his fists tightly, and walked past him towards Su Zhen, only to see that her clothes were scratched in many places, the blood had dried up, and the color had become dull.

His pupils narrowed sharply, and he asked anxiously, "Zhen'er, how do you feel? Father, I'll take you home now!"

Su Zhen laughed dumbfounded, raised her hand to smooth his frowning brows, and the familiar elegant fragrance of ink on Su Tingye came over her face.

"Father, I'm fine, I'm worried about you. But I've told you many times, my son doesn't want to see you frown. Come on, smile."

Su Tingye's face was full of tiredness, how could he laugh, his nose was sore, he didn't want to cry in front of so many people for the sake of face, his appearance of suppressing tears was a bit funny.

Su Zhen felt that after not seeing him all night, he seemed to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes, and suddenly felt very guilty.

"Your mother is still waiting for you. My father has asked the doctor to wait for you. After you go back, let the doctor examine you carefully. Don't leave any sequelae."

Shang Yici didn't give Su Zhen a chance to respond, and stopped him directly, "Teacher, I have always respected you, but tonight I was ordered by my father, so please don't stop me! If you want to take Su Zhen away , it means resisting the order and not obeying it!"

Su Tingye stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zhen behind him, nodded slightly to Xiao He and Yu Changqing, "Thank you for looking for Zhen'er tonight."

"Teacher is polite."

"This is the job of the lower officials."

Seeing the three people start exchanging pleasantries, Shang Yici took a deep breath and pointed the finger at Su Zhen, "Su Zhen, you should think about it, if you resist arrest, you will be punished!"

"Your Majesty has promised to go back with you, but His Highness King Qin, your people seem too useless. You can't even catch a few men in black. Don't rush to get angry, old man. Judging by the situation, the emperor should just let you Looking for Mr. Dongli and me is not to ask you to put us in a prison awaiting trial, if that is the case, then we will see you tomorrow!"

Su Zhen blinked at him, with a wry smile on her face.

"Presumptuous! Is it possible that this king has no right to dispose of you?!"

Su Tingye has long been dissatisfied with Shang Yici, and his hostility towards Zhen'er should be because of Xu Jing.If Zhen'er was really taken away, she would have escaped death.

"Your Highness, regarding Zhen'er's matter, I will ask the emperor to apologize at the meeting tomorrow!"

After all, Su Tingye led Su Zhen and the guards in the house, and walked back to the house in a big way.

Xiao He, the commander of the imperial army, belongs to the prince's faction, Yu Changqing and King Qin only spoke a few hours ago, so naturally they will not help him.

"Since the person has been found, the general will also retire."

Yu Changqing lightly clenched his fists to cover his lips, concealed his smile, bowed his head in salute, "I will take my leave."

The people from several parties roiled all night in the capital city, and finally returned to their various prefectures in a mighty way.

Shang Yici closed his eyes and suppressed the unwillingness and anger in his heart. He spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, and even paid for Xu Jing.

Mu Qingzi, an aide of Prince Qin's mansion, stood silently behind Shang Yici, waving a feather fan in his hand, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

"Mr. Mu, what do you think of Su Zhen?"

"Compassion, forbearance, understanding of morality and righteousness, knowing good and evil, debating right from wrong."

Mu Qingzi's voice was deep and thick, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Oh! It seems that the master has developed a heart of appreciation for that bastard?"

Mu Qingzi shook his head, his eyes were dark, and against the hideous scar on his right face, he looked extremely fierce.

"No wonder the emperor valued Su Zhen and promoted her to an official position. The person behind her should not be the crown prince. The evidence for bringing down Xu Jing needs to be investigated again. If His Highness can't win him over, it's best to get rid of this person early .”

Shang Yici stood with his hands behind his back, rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb back and forth with his right hand.

"Gu Yunshu usually makes friends with weak scholars or civil servants. Those men in black just now are most likely sent by the crown prince. Is there any news from the spies buried in the East Palace?"

"Return to Your Highness, the prince has never left the inner hall since he came out of the Yuxuan Palace."

"Understood, according to the king's order, when looking for Gu Yunshu, once he finds his whereabouts, he will be killed immediately, and there is no need to keep him alive! Don't leave any traces, it is best to pretend that he died at the hands of those men in black."

"Yes!"

Mu Qingzi held the feather fan with both hands and bowed his head.

After Su Zhen returned to Taifu's mansion with Le Shu in her arms, she was inevitably surrounded by the people in the mansion to ask for warmth.

Yin Shen's whereabouts were unknown, when Mo Sheng and Mo Chen heard that she had returned safely, they rushed back to the Taifu's residence immediately, and were relieved to see that she was safe.

In Jin Sexuan, Su Zhen leaned on the bed and let the doctor take her pulse. When she heard that her pulse was calm and there was no sign of injury, Su Zhen was still puzzled and surprised.

Yan Huiran was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand tightly, thinking about it, but she was already lost in thought.

The years-long bond between Si Li and Jiang Wen has finally come to an end.

But she had promised Gu Yunshu that she would definitely save Si Li from the fire and water, but who would have thought that she would end up completely lost in spirit and soul.

If he could wake up, how would she explain to him?
