Chapter 235: Monarch and Minister

Marquis Wu Su didn't know how he got out of the carriage.

Looking at the solemn red lacquer palace gate in front of him, he felt that this was like a giant mouth of a fierce beast that could devour people, and if he was not careful, he might die in this deep belly.

Old lady Lin lifted the curtain at this time, said behind the Marquis of Wusu that he was good at himself, and let Qingmo drive away.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance gradually faded away, and the Marquis of Wusu took another deep breath, handed over the waist card and strode into the palace.

The emperor had already received the report, and the Marquis of Wusu faced the saint for his son.

He frowned and put down a piece of music in his hand, let people serve new tea, and sat down at the table without saying a word.

These days, he has made people look up a lot of things.

Among them, he summoned Master Lin and asked about Su Zhaoheng's assassination and being saved by Mrs. Lin.

But after a round turn, he didn't get anything from the old fox's mouth, but was put in by him and said something.

That hateful old fox is so hateful that sometimes it wants to pluck out his hair!

The emperor, who is always deflated at the hands of Mrs. Lin, is no longer depressed at this time to describe his mood.

In the midst of a small affair, the emperor no longer showed affection on his face.

The monarch and the ministers saluted, and after giving the seat, the emperor opened his mouth and asked: "Why don't you see Su Ziyu." ”

The affectionate title made Wu Suhou's eyebrows skip and he stood up and pleaded guilty. "The courtier left the house last night, and he didn't return because of something important, and the minister came to ask for his guilt."

The Emperor waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and looked at him condescendingly. "It's good that you're here, I just happen to have something to ask you. I recently heard that your wife seems to be partial to your second son? ”

Marquis Wusu's eyebrows jumped again, knowing that what Old Lady Lin said was not bad, and the emperor was afraid that he had really found something.

After settling down, the Marquis of Wusu said in a deep voice: "The eldest son of the minister has been practicing martial arts with the minister since he was a child. The second son was doted on by Xia's side, and Xia's was more partial to him. ”

A reasonable explanation, the emperor squinted when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "I remember that their brothers are two years apart, and now your second son has been married by the queen, Ziyu, what are your plans?" ”

Sweat oozed from the forehead of the Marquis of Wusu, and the emperor began to test the matter of the Xia family's favoritism for the second son. Xia's stupid woman always thinks herself. After crossing Heng'er, she asked Yu'er for marriage first, and she was really not afraid that everyone in the capital would know her thoughts!

"Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister's eldest son has already mentioned it to the minister.

He didn't know why the eldest grandson of the royal family was entrusted to a military general, and he didn't know how the Marquis of Wusu took people out of the palace without telling the truth, but he had been aroused.

"Why do you say that?"

"Some ministers in the past can't speak, and the ministers can only say another thing, does the emperor really think that it was accidental? Act of God*... How much is a natural disaster and how much is *......"

"Marquis of Wusu! You are bold!! The Emperor stood abruptly, pointed his finger at him and scolded angrily.

He's... He is saying that someone is deliberately plotting to murder the prince!

And isn't the most profitable person from this deliberate murder now not his, the current emperor?!

Marquis Wu Su just kowtowed again, "If the minister is not bold, there will be no today's matter, whether the emperor's decision is appropriate or not, please think deeply about it." ”

The emperor's face, which had turned red with anger, instantly became extremely strange again, and his hands trembled even more when he was a little gray in the red.

After a long while, the emperor's strange face slowly calmed down, and he turned back to the dragon chair. "Stand down."

The emperor's words were a little weak, how could he not understand what the Marquis of Wusu said, and the sentences implied that someone had harmed the former prince and the emperor's grandson. And this perpetrator, he doesn't want to guess, but he can't stop guessing.

Marquis Wu Su took a great risk to get the effect he wanted, so naturally he would not say anything more and bow and retreat. When he walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, he suddenly realized that he had sweated and soaked his official robe.

When he saw the scroll and the decision made by the emperor, he knew that no matter how much he braided it, it would be useless.

At that moment, he remembered Old Lady Lin's previous words, the emperor has always been suspicious, once he has doubts, it is difficult to counteract, and this matter will be pierced sooner or later.

However, the biggest crisis in this matter is not to expose Su Zhaoheng's true identity, but to the fact that he once had a crush on the former crown princess.

What's more, there is something even more suspicious between him and the former crown princess.

Although few people know about that matter, the old lady Lin knows a thing or two, the Xia family knows a thing or two, and the queen mother knows even more, because that incident is the first time that the queen mother was interfered with by the Marquis of Wusu when she designed the former crown princess and ended in failure. Therefore, if that matter is deliberately framed by the Queen Mother who turns over the old accounts, and the former prince who knows all the truth is no longer able to testify, it will make the Su family fall into a place of no return.

No matter how deep the emperor is with the former prince, he will never treat the orphans who will be crowned with the blood of the royal family, and that will be the most terrible result.

So, Marquis Wusu simply acquiesced to Su Zhaoheng's identity, and then provoked unclear words, first making the scale in the emperor's heart tilt slightly. As long as there are some, maybe things will take a turn for the better, and the Marquis of Wusu used his life to suppress a big gamble, gambling on the emperor's suspicion and suspicion, and in order to protect Su Zhaoheng, he did not dare to let his life experience surface.

Only in this way, no matter how much the emperor wants Su Zhaoheng to admit his lord and return to the sect, he will have scruples.

If King Rui really found out his identity and went to discuss with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would make a move first, which would also make the Emperor have more suspicions about the Queen Mother. At that time, whether or not he had ever been in love with the former crown princess before, it would become insufficient for the emperor to trust the queen mother's words.

Marquis Wusu, who was wet with cold sweat, walked out of the palace, got on his horse and returned to his house with an expressionless face, and then stayed in the study until dark and asked his henchmen to send a letter along the route of King Ning's entry into Beijing.

King Ning returned to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, hoping to divert the attention of the mother and son, at least to buy some more time, and think of a layout that was as foolproof as possible. (To be continued.) )
