Chapter 70
The blood in Chu Qihui's body was congealed, he swept around in a panic, and growled, "You are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Brother, don't you know about this?" Chu Xunyang said, but he refused to budge.

Chu Qihui's face turned blue and white. He could actually vaguely guess part of the inside story about this matter, but now he doesn't know how to follow up.

Chu Xunyang didn't make things difficult for him, he just said to himself: "He wanted to kill me, but I knew it was done by his Su family, but I didn't leave anything to testify against him, brother, don't you wonder why? ?”

"You—really you hurt Su Wan?" Chu Qihui was restless, looking at her anxiously, his lips twitched for a long time before he managed to say a word: "Why?"

"Because the current situation does not allow it." Chu Xunyang said, seeing his confused expression, he continued to explain, "The Su family has a special status. Once Su Lin's behavior is revealed today, what he committed was the slaughter of the royal family. The great crime of disobedience, how do you want the imperial grandfather to deal with this matter? Seize the military power of the Su family and take back the title? The Su family is the founder of the country, and they have taken their title. How do you want the courtiers to think of him? Let him carry a Is it the reputation of being unkind and unrighteous? And if he doesn't pursue the Su family, and allows his granddaughter to be murdered by his courtiers regardless, how do you tell him to deal with himself in front of the subjects of the world?"

This is a hot potato, throwing it to the emperor may uproot the entire Su family with half the chance, but what happens after it is uprooted?With the emperor's personality, in order to save his reputation, he might put this matter on the East Palace's head. In the long run, it will be even more difficult to ensure that he will not feel that his father borrowed his own hands to deliberately create this incident , for the purpose of eradicating the old ministers who followed the emperor, his heart is clear, and his purpose is self-evident!

Chu Xunyang's speech was not slow, but every word was resounding, with a calm and strong deterrent force, and Chu Qihui's face turned pale when he was hit directly.

"Why do you think I use the hands of Lord Yanling to cover up this matter? Do you really think I'm afraid of being investigated by their Su family?" Chu Xunyang said, shaking his head without waiting for him to answer, "Mr. Yanling has no background in the court. He is just a deputy envoy of the imperial hospital with no real power. He took the responsibility for this matter. At least on the surface, it has nothing to do with our East Palace. Even if someone wants to make trouble, I can't find an opportunity to play it. To put it bluntly, the Su family is a hot potato. If you openly win over, it is a conspiracy, and if you deliberately conflict with him, it is also ulterior motives. So in the future, let's take a detour."

At the end of the conversation, Chu Xunyang's tone towards Chu Qihui was completely merciless.

Chu Qihui actually agreed with her words in his heart, but he couldn't hold back his face. After thinking about it for a while, he still insisted on refuting: "You have so many worries, others may not have them. In this way, why don't you just watch the Su family fall into trouble?" Are you going to the camp of Nanhe Palace?"

"If his Nanhe Palace has such abilities, then let them go." Chu Xunyang snorted nonchalantly.

"You—" Chu Qihui was contradicted several times by her, and the anger in his heart also rose up one after another. He intended to explode, but when he touched the cold light in Chu Xunyang's eyes, he suddenly lost his confidence.

No matter what, Chu Xunyang was right in one sentence——

Now he still has to rely on his father's support. Since his father is all about favoring this girl, he should leave some leeway.

"Okay!" After struggling for a while, Chu Qihui finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's just assume that I didn't think carefully about this matter, but your actions are really too much, even if you don't want your eldest brother to befriend Su Shizi to provoke others Suspicion, you told me in private, that if you quarreled with the brothers and sisters of the Su family in such a big way, and even formed an enmity, wouldn't it be a hidden danger for us in the East Palace in the future?"

"I will bear the consequences of what I do." Chu Xunyang said, but then changed the subject and said coolly, "Brother has the skill to preach to me, so I should try to persuade Fifth Sister more, she always agrees Su Wan is mixed together, you may not be able to take care of her every time something happens."

Chu Qihui's heart stopped beating, and he said in amazement: "What do you mean? Yan'er is too young and playful—"

"No matter how playful you are, don't play with human life, because it's easy to reap the consequences." Chu Xunyang interrupted him in a cold voice, his words were cold, "The last time I made a disturbance and frightened horses, I have already opened the net and never pursued it." Now, why is it such a coincidence today, why is it that she wants me to come forward and go hunting in the forest with Su Wan and others?"

Chu Qihui gasped, he really never thought that Chu Yueyan would get involved in this matter again, and said in disbelief, "It should be just a coincidence, even if Yan'er is ignorant—"

"I also hope it's just a coincidence, but it's also because she is ignorant that she should not be used again and again." Chu Xunyang said, and interrupted him coldly again.

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, took a deep look at Chu Qihui and said, "Brother, although you and I are not born of the same mother, we are the children of the same father. Our East Palace is a family that is both prosperous and damaged. I don't want to create a quarrel with you because of such a trivial matter, and then give other people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

While speaking, she pointedly turned her head and looked at the direction behind her eyes, it was——

The residence of Chu Qiyan's siblings.

Chu Qihui's heart trembled, and no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he had no choice but to agree: "It's only natural, I'll talk to her about Yan'er's place!"

"Okay!" Chu Xunyang nodded slightly.

Chu Qihui felt uncomfortable after talking with her, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.

Chu Xunyang stood still, looking at his back, but the expression in his eyes gradually became complicated, and a not-so-obvious coldness gradually emerged.

If it was possible, she really didn't want to touch people like Chu Qihui, because they were all of her father's blood after all, but if she really had to, she had no choice, and she absolutely couldn't repeat the same mistakes.

Chu Xunyang was slightly distracted, and heard footsteps approaching slowly behind him. The steps were gentle but steady, and he knew who it was without thinking.

Chu Xunyang hooked the corners of his lips, turned around, and sure enough, he saw Lord Yanling coming out from behind a bush not far away.

"Aren't you leaving?" Chu Xunyang asked.

Lord Yanling didn't answer, but followed her previous gaze to look at Chu Qihui's hurrying back, and said, "Do you think he will abandon the Su family?"

"What do you think?" Chu Xunyang glared at him angrily, but his tone was filled with cold disdain, "On the surface, he said that he was trying to consolidate his father's position, but to put it bluntly, it was for himself. Such eagerness to win over power is actually to guard against my second brother. Putting the cart before the horse, I don't know what it means!"
