Conspiracy

Chapter 226

Su Zhen lifted the curtain of the bed, the dumb slave was still in a coma, her arm was festered to the point where only bones remained.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, everything he saw before should be true.

"Xian'er."

Su Zhen called softly, but there was no response.

Pushing aside the hair that covered her cheeks, sure enough, it was her.

Stretching out his hand to touch her wrist, her pulse was so weak that it seemed to be absent.Milky white light flashed in Su Zhen's hand, and it stuck to the dumb slave's heart, trying to heal her.

At this moment, Shuyue Hall was barged in by a group of forbidden soldiers armed with knives, followed by the Empress Empress and Princess Jingyao, surrounded by guards and palace people.

Su Zhen looked outside in surprise, before they had time to leave, they had already entered the inner hall.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that a bloody dagger was thrown on the ground, and Su Zhen wanted to 'murder' the person on the bed.

"Dumb slave!"

Jingyao wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by the maid beside her, "Princess, it's dangerous, don't go there!"

Su Zhen explained, "Princess, I didn't intend to hurt her, I was helping her heal."

"You are talking nonsense! I just saw that you were going to kill her! The dumb slave is my best friend. If she dies, I will never let you go!"

Princess Jingyao, who was dominated by mixed emotions of grief and anger, was in chaos.After Su Zhen fell into a coma, she cried and ran to the empress for help, and this happened.

Princess Jingyao couldn't listen to Su Zhen's powerless and pale explanation.

Su Zhen wanted to say more, but the dumb slave's heart stopped suddenly. She quickly took the pulse of the dumb slave, and checked her breath, and found that she had no signs of life at all.

"How could this be? She was clearly saved just now! How could she die suddenly!"

When Princess Jingyao heard the words, she felt as if struck by lightning, she tried her best to break free from the shackles of the maid, ran to the bed, pushed Su Zhen away, and shook the dumb slave's hand vigorously, tears bursting down the embankment.

"Dumb slave! Dumb slave! Wake up! You won't die! Don't leave me! Come on! Come on! Call the imperial physician! Help! Help! Help her!"

Princess Jingyao yelled as if she was dazed, and wept bitterly, completely disregarding the princess's face, she still refused to let go of the dumb slave's hand.

The queen waved her hand from behind, and the nurse next to her immediately went to ask for the imperial physician. Although she knew it would be useless, it could also give the princess some comfort.

"Come here! Su Zhen trespassed into the princess' bedroom late at night, killed the princess' maidservant, and put this person in a prison awaiting trial. I will ask the emperor to make a decision after I report to the emperor."

"Yes!"

Su Zhen, who was also immersed in grief, did not defend herself anymore, did not struggle fiercely, or even resisted, and walked outside alone. From the back, it could be seen that her mood had begun to crack.

From Su Zhen's point of view, she was really brought back thirteen years ago by that sundial.The mute slave was Yue Xian'er, and her death was inextricably related to him.

It was she who asked Yue Xian'er to take them back to their hometown. She wanted to find out the truth and clues, but she uncovered her nightmare and scars.It was she who persuaded Yue Xian'er to go to her uncle's house, which caused her to fall into predicament and despair.It was she who mentioned the beauty of Jiangnan to Yue Xian'er, so her clone, Xiyan, went to Jiangnan with her hopes and expectations.

But Yue Xian'er's real body wandered around with the refugees, and was even caught up to the mountain by horse thieves. Not only was he brutally insulted, but he also became a mute with his appearance ruined.

If she hadn't talked too much, wouldn't all of this have happened.

All the pain, humiliation and torture that the mute slave has suffered, she admits that she cannot escape the responsibility, and she is even more determined that she is the chief culprit who killed the mute slave!
Su Zhen couldn't imagine what kind of mentality the dumb slave came to the capital, and even followed Jingyao into the palace.

After stepping out of Shuyue Hall, Su Zhen could still hear Princess Jingyao crying heartbreakingly inside.The mottled memory opened the door of her heart, she looked at the sky speechlessly, a line of tears slipped from the corner of her eyes.

Overnight, news that Su Zhenye broke into the princess' bedroom and even became a murderer spread throughout the capital city.

The peaceful General Jinghong's mansion was full of vigor, the scent of flowers was accompanied by the chirping of birds, and the light of the sun shone into the room. Xiao Chuhong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and cold.

After a while, he called out, "Li Jiu!"

There was a slight sound from the window, and Li Jiu's figure landed in front of Xiao Chuhong's bed like a ghost.

"General, what are your orders?"

"Is there anything going on outside?"

Li Jiu's eyes dodged, "Go back to the general, nothing major happened."

"I seemed to have a very strange dream last night."

"Dream?!"

"Well, I dreamed that I went back to thirteen years ago."

Li Jiu said with a smile, "Did the general see the marshal? It can be said that you and your wife miss him very much."

"No."

"Could it be that the general reports good news but not bad news?"

"I didn't go to Jiacheng, but I was captured by the enemy army in my dream. Su Zhen rescued me after I escaped."

Hearing Su Zhen's name, Li Jiu quickly lowered his head, not daring to let Xiao Chuhong see the clue from his own eyes, "The general also misses Mr. Su in his dreams, it seems that you are really destined."

"He and I met a girl, her name is Yue Xian'er, her life was miserable, but" Xiao Chuhong hesitated to speak, his expression of pity was not concealed.

"General, but what?"

Xiao Chuhong sighed and waved his hands, "Forget it, you go and let the housekeeper prepare the carriage."

"General, where are you going?"

"Taifu's residence."

"Ah? No!" Li Jiu blurted out to stop him.

"Why?"

"This this."

Xiao Chuhong explained his thoughts clearly, "Did something happen to Su Zhen? What happened to him?"

His stern gaze sent chills down Li Jiu's spine, and he hurriedly told what happened last night.

After hearing this, Xiao Chuhong's expression changed drastically. He threw off the quilt and ran outside without caring about sitting in a wheelchair.

"General! Don't get excited, things haven't gotten too bad yet!"

Just as Xiao Chuhong opened the door, a cyan figure with a gentle and refined temperament was already standing outside the door.

He raised his head slowly, revealing the face of the Banished Immortal, and called softly, "Ah Hong."

"Yun Shu? Why are you here?"

Gu Yunshu pushed his hand away, walked in calmly, went to the table and sat down, gently shook the folding fan, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chuhong.

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Taifu's mansion? Or go to prison?"

"It's impossible for Su Zhen to kill the dumb slave."

"So what? She broke into the palace at night to save you."

"What? Help me?"

Xiao Chuhong's heart sank with a 'thump'. Could it be that the dream last night was real?
He was suddenly upset. If this was the case, Su Zhen would definitely feel guilty and no longer explain, and would willingly bear the charge of the murderer!

It has to be said that Xiao Chuhong had a thorough understanding of Su Zhen's character, and she did.

Gu Yunshu asked unhurriedly, "You were the one who went to Siwei's mansion to save her last night, right?"

Xiao Chuhong nodded.

"What then?"
