Chapter 41: Settle the dream, choose one of the two
"The slave didn't know what the county lord was talking about. Xia Dong was shocked, and said stubbornly: "How can the slave know the fifth prince?"
"Summer and winter. Su Muyue looked at Xia Dong and said lightly: "You and Xu He are brother and sister, I already knew it." β
"When did the county lord notice that something was wrong?" After being silent for a long time, Xia Dong calmed down, brushed his hair that fell down quite carelessly, and asked in a low voice, "I think I did a perfect job." β
"Yes, it's perfect, but it's a pity that you met me. Su Muyue took a sip of tea.
It took her a lifetime to know that Xia Dong was a secret chess piece buried by Sikong Shengzhe in the Su Mansion, and maybe there were other people, but now what she has to deal with is Xia Dong who once betrayed her, even if they were their masters at the beginning!
Dreaming.
The implication is to repeat the scene in the dream over and over again, and eventually hypnotize the person, making him think that this is not a dream, but something that really happened.
Therefore, Xia Dong thought that what Sikong Shengzhe arranged was actually done by Su Muyue when she entered her dream.
If it weren't for the fact that Xia Dong and Xu He were brother and sister in the previous life, Su Muyue would not have been able to let Xu He show his feet.
She had discussed these things with Sikong Yan earlier, which was why when the prince wanted to recommend Huang Chen, Si Kong Yan said that it was not yet time.
"Then why don't you hand me over to the government?" Xia Dong was a little surprised, she knew that Su Muyue was smart, but she didn't expect that she would start to suspect her from the moment she saw her, "Since you have already calculated, why did you let Situ Hao and Su Mubin bump into me and my brother?"
"Su Mubin and Situ Hao made an appointment to calculate me, why do you blame me for finding my own death?" Su Muyue sneered, and then lazily leaned on the chaise longue and said, "Xia Dong, since I praise you for being smart, then use your brain more before you speak, okay?"
"But ......" Xia Dong is very strange, because Xu He killed Situ Hao before, and Su Mubin was dealt with by Chen Lang, but why is Su Mubin still alive later?
"Oh, I really admire Chen Lang, just because I threatened Su Mubin to gouge out his eyes in the afternoon, did he really gouge out Su Mubin's eyes and wanted to blame me?" Su Muyue looked clear and said with a smile: "I have to say, Sikong Shengzhe is too anxious. β
Su Mubin didn't die, probably because it was related to Sikong Yan, but Su Muyue didn't want Xia Dong to know, so she simply led the topic to herself.
Xia Dong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Su Muyue in disbelief and said, "You already knew that the master wanted to withdraw from the marriage?"
Sikong Shengzhe didn't know what Xu He and Chen Lang did at first, and when he learned about it, the first arrangement was to blame Su Muyue, but he didn't think that there was Sikong Yan secretly helping behind this, so the plan failed.
"That's nature. Su Muyue said with interest: "Xia Dong, how about I give you a chance to ask Sikong Shengzhe to save Xu He?"
Xia Dong thought that she was suspected, but she never took Su Muyue in her eyes, because she thought that Su Muyue would not be able to fight Sikong Shengzhe.
But I didn't expect that Su Muyue would use herself to lure out her brother who had been hidden for so long!
However, why did she let herself go to Sikong Shengzhe?
Shouldn't she be going to kill herself?
Just when Su Muyue was talking to the winter solstice, the emperor summoned Sikong Yan in the imperial study.
"Is it true that Xu He sells Qiu Yu test questions?" The emperor looked at Sikong Yan, pinched his eyebrows a little helplessly, and asked in a deep voice: "Are all the things that Zhuge Yi found out were done by Xu He?"
Zhuge Yi presented all the evidence that Huang Chen had been carrying, and the emperor never thought that Jing Zhaoyin, who he had always trusted, would do so many vicious things behind his back, and he was even more disappointed in his heart.
"Isn't there already a number in the emperor's heart?" Sikong Yan didn't care about fiddling with the tea leaves in the teacup, and said slowly: "Xu He has done a lot of things secretly over the years, and there must be someone behind this, but I don't know if the imperial brother is willing to investigate." β
Of course, the emperor knows what Sikong Yan means, but just like Su Qi'an's thoughts, the royal family is also ugly.
Therefore, Xu He has only one way to die.
"Then what should Su Mubin do?" The emperor had an answer in his heart, and remembered Su Mubin, who identified Xu He, and said: "You can't die after all." β
If Su Mubin, who confessed to the criminal, died, probably no one would dare to do anything for the royal family.
"Someone will share the worries of the royal brother. Sikong Yan said calmly: "Brother Huang just needs to wait patiently." β
"Some things, slow or good. The emperor breathed a long sigh of relief thoughtfully, and then frowned and asked, "Why Su Muyue?"
"This king promised the royal brother not to interfere in the dispute for the heir, which does not mean that this king will let the royal brother's son kill this king. Sikong Yan opened his mouth and said: "What's more, the marriage contract between Su Muyue and Sikong Shengzhe has been abolished, what's wrong with this king doing this?"
"Have you ever thought about what the world will think of you?" The emperor is much older than Sikong Yan, so he looks much older, "Those historians will record the fact that you snatched the emperor's nephew's fiancΓ©e, you have always cherished your reputation, why do you want to do such a thing?"
"Because the king likes it. Sikong Yan calmly replied: "How are the people of the world willing to judge, what does it have to do with this king? What's more, what the world sees is always in front of them, how can the imperial brother know that the world will not bless this king?"
"But don't you know Su Muyue's fate?" The emperor was so angry that he lost his temper, so he could only pat the table and say, "She is the princess's fate!"
"Brother Huang, isn't this what you want?" Sikong Yan's mouth slowly pulled out a smile, and a pair of eyes looked at the emperor in black and white, "Su Muyue marries this king, then this king will always be the prince, the royal brother can no longer be afraid of this king, and this king can also better serve the country of Yanyan, like this...... Isn't it good?"
"Xiao Yan!" The emperor's face suddenly became extremely ugly, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything after all.
Since that incident, the two brothers have never seemed to be able to go back to what they used to be.
"Tomorrow, I will issue a decree to give you a marriage, and Xu Su Muyue will be the concubine. I don't know how long it took, the emperor chose to compromise, and said a little tiredly: "Do you think Su Muyue can withstand the rumors of the world?"
"Su Muyue must be the concubine. Sikong Yan raised his eyes to look at the emperor and said seriously: "The woman that this king likes will not be wrong. β
"Concubine Zheng?" When the emperor heard Sikong Yan's words, he immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Xiao Yan, how can your concubine be a country woman?"
"Brother Huang, I came today just to ask for a holy decree, if the brother of the emperor refuses to give it, then the king will go to ask the Queen Mother. "Sikong Yan doesn't care about the emperor's anger at all, maybe he is the only one in the world who doesn't care about the emperor's anger, right?
"You ......" The Queen Mother felt that she owed Sikong Yan, so she naturally responded to her requests, and when the time came, it was not herself who was not a person inside and outside?
Thinking of this, the emperor breathed a long sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Just do as you say......
Sikong Yan got the result he wanted, got up and walked out, and said as he walked: "It's not too early, the imperial brother should rest early!"
There was silence for a long time in the imperial study, until the candle flame crackled, and the emperor, who had been out of his mind, seemed to be awakened, sighed faintly, and said in a deep voice: "Someone, the will." β
Sikong Yan got into the carriage out of the palace, and found that Zhuge Yi had been waiting here, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you need this king to send you back?"
"I also want to know why it's Su Muyue. Zhuge Yi hugged his arms, frowned, and said, "Are you purely here to humiliate Sikong Shengzhe?"
"Zhuge , do you think this king will take Sikong Shengzhe in his eyes?" Sikong Yan lowered his eyes and said lightly: "What you heard today is true. β
"I'm naturally very happy that you are willing to get married. Zhuge Yi scratched his head and asked with some hesitation: "But why don't you wait for Sikong Shengzhe to talk about these things after he divorces?" I think that Sikong Shengzhe's kid originally had that intention, and now he is doing this, isn't it just for him to slander you?"
Sikong Shengzhe's methods, he can think of it with his toes, and it is estimated that tomorrow the whole capital will spread the matter of Sikong Yanqiang robbing his nephew's fiancΓ©e.
"Zhuge , have you forgotten that sometimes the higher a person stands, the heavier the fall will be, right?" Sikong Yan said meaningfully: "This king will never do useless things. β
"Did you replace Sikong Shengzhe's congratulatory gift?" Zhuge Yi had already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and asked in some surprise at the moment: "You don't look like a nosy person?"
"Su Muyue is your righteous daughter, how can you call it nosy?" Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhuge Yi with some amusement and said, "Isn't this what you've been looking forward to?"
"Hahaha......" Zhuge Yi couldn't help patting Sikong Yan's shoulder and laughing: "Seriously, I'm really happy to be your father-in-law......
The capital, the palace of the five princes.
"Pray that the master will save my brother. Xia Dong knelt in front of Sikong Shengzhe and said in a trembling voice: "My brother is loyal to his master and will never betray his master." β
"Xia Dong," Sikong Shengzhe raised his eyes to look at Xia Dong and said, "If you want to keep Xu He, unless Su Mubin is dead, do you understand what it means to die without proof?"
"Why didn't the master kill Su Mubin?" In this world, Xia Dong only has Xu Bin as a relative, she doesn't care about any respect or not, she has only one thought, that is, to rescue Xu Bin.
"Xia Dong, now my father is staring so closely, no matter who goes, there will probably be no return. A smile appeared on the corner of Sikong Shengzhe's mouth, pinched Xia Dong's chin, and made her look at herself, "Now you have a choice, I can let Chen Lang send you to prison, you go and kill Su Mubin, and then blame Su Muyue." β
"Me?" Xia Dong was stunned for a moment, and said in some surprise: "The slave doesn't know martial arts, and she hasn't killed anyone, how can she do it?"
"You are Su Muyue's person, even if you are caught, your brother will not be implicated, not to mention that I will help you. Sikong Shengzhe narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Dong and asked, "Choose one of the two, either you die and Xu He live, or Xu He dies and you live, how about it?"
