Chapter 339: A New Storm
There is no wind or rain in the imperial city.
In addition to the more chattering princess Lan Zhengguo in the palace.
Seeing that Lan Yu'er was harmless to Su Mingyue, and Su Mingyue really liked Lan Yu'er, Du Ruonan put her heart back in her stomach and concentrated on being busy with Ruoyulou. Because of the matter of the three princesses, all kinds of ulterior motives wanted to enter Ruoyu Building, but Du Ruonan, who was short of manpower, did not dare to recruit people.
Su Zhiyu, who felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, took the lead, and asked for sick leave to concentrate on helping Ruoyu Building.
The swaggering appearance, even the three princes who persuaded Emperor Shengxi couldn't stand it, and the three princes who were a little panicked simply stayed in the three princes' mansions, who didn't have a fragrant and soft daughter-in-law, what a show!
On this day, as soon as Du Ruonan stepped out of the dyeing room, he met a buddy who was hesitant.
This guy was recruited by Du Ruonan when he won back Ruoyulou from Ru Mu's hands, he was diligent and conscientious, and he was very liked by everyone.
"Shopkeeper, I want to resign."
The guy lowered his head in shame, knowing very well that Ruo Yulou had given him a stable income, and he should not resign when Ruo Yulou needed manpower the most.
"Is there something going on at home? You can tell me that you are a buddy from Ruoyulou, and I can help if I can. "As long as she is loyal enough, Du Ruonan doesn't mind that everyone in Ruoyulou is like Ru Hu, and of course, don't let her be in a hurry.
The guy shook his head, "Don't say it, shopkeeper, I just want to resign." β
Seeing that the guy looked serious, Du Ruonan sighed and gave three months' wages.
The next day, I heard that the guy became the deputy shopkeeper in a newly opened small cloth village, Du Ruonan was stunned, everyone has their own ambitions, and turned her head to be busy for Ruoyulou's business, and she needs to worry about new fabric patterns and new clothing styles.
Leaving early and returning late, walking together, Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu had a good life.
The good days are not long, Du Ruonan has just designed a new clothing style and wants to discuss it with Su Mingyue, with Su Mingyue, the queen mother, as a living signboard, if Yulou's new style will not be sold. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Du Ruonan, who had always been rain or shine, was stopped.
The guard on duty recognized Du Ruonan and said, "Miss Du, you can enter the palace another day to meet the queen." β
Seeing that there was no one left and right, he lowered his voice and said: "Something happened in the palace, Your Majesty ordered martial law, you are not allowed to enter or leave, the personal official of the queen mother wants to give you the news of the arrival and is stopped back, don't go back and say it everywhere, it will be known, and the small head will not be guaranteed." β
"Then how dare you tell me?" Du Ruonan felt strange.
The guard scratched his head and said, "I have been favored by the queen's personal female officer. β
didn't ask which female official it was, Du Ruonan decided to enter the palace and reminded Su Mingyue to clear the people around her, don't put any demons and monsters around her, and finally hurt herself. But the guard's affection, Du Ruonan understood it.
Turning back to Su Mansion, Du Ruonan was uncomfortable, and wanted to talk to Su Zhiyu several times.
It's not that she doesn't trust Su Zhiyu, it's that she is afraid that the other party has ulterior motives and wants to use her mouth to drag Su Zhiyu into the water, Du Ruonan, who has seen the methods of the emperor, sighed that the water in the imperial court is very deep, and it is also the Shengxi Emperor Su Zhiyu who can participate in it thoroughly.
Soon, the emperor solved Du Ruonan's troubles.
He took the initiative to visit Su Zhiyu, and as soon as he stepped into the Su Mansion, he asked the secret guards to lay a net.
"Zhiyu, I don't believe anyone in this matter except you."
Emperor Shengxi was tired and his face was gloomy, and his eyes were even darker.
No matter how virtuous the emperor grows older, he is more or less a little sorry for his life, and the emperors of Zhao have taken this to the extreme. I don't know from which generation of emperors, digging underground palaces has become a unique hobby of emperors.
Secretly find a craftsman to design the drawings, and then let the death row prisoners restore the drawings under the Zhao Imperial Palace, and after the completion of the dungeon, all those who have participated in the underground palace will leave their lives in the underground palace, even the loyal secret guards are no exception. The palace of Zhao State is already a huge underground labyrinth in the hands of Emperor Shengxi, and almost anywhere in the imperial city can be reached from the underground palace, and Emperor Shengxi, who is the master, will get lost if he is not careful.
After learning of the existence of the dungeon, Emperor Shengxi used part of the dungeon as a prison cell for important people.
Compared to the dungeon with complex personnel, the underground palace is a private and safe place.
Jing Zhaoyi, who colluded with Lan Zhengguo, was given the honor of staying in the underground palace for a long time after the matter was revealed, and Yang Susu, who was implicated in the remnants of Jiangxi, also had this honor.
The problem is, something happened to Yang Susu.
"There are only traces of Yang Susu's activities at the scene."
"It was determined that he killed him, no murder weapon was found, the fatal wound was in the throat, and the method of killing with a knife was professional."
"The Secret Guard said that it was the work of a scout who is proficient in assassination, and it is difficult to catch the murderer."
Emperor Shengxi only thought of one possibility.
The diagram of the underground palace hidden in the secret room of the imperial study was leaked.
When he found out that Yang Susu had an accident, he went to the secret room of the imperial study to check, and the underground palace map in the secret room was intact, and the mechanism had not been triggered. This is strange, Emperor Shengxi can't figure out where the enemy's underground palace map came from.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the Secret Guard?" Su Zhiyu asked after a moment of silence.
If there is no problem at the scene, then the only person who is in charge of the care may be the person in charge.
In the underground palace, he accidentally heard Emperor Shengxi mention that it is the base camp of the secret guards, and the only people who can enter and exit are the secret guards except for the emperor.
Emperor Shengxi smiled bitterly: "That's why I can't sleep at night." β
The secret guard is the blade in the hands of the emperors of the Zhao State in the past dynasties, and it can only sleep peacefully under the pillow, but now there is a problem with this blade, and Emperor Shengxi does not dare to sleep if he wants to, for fear that when he opens his eyes at dawn, Su Mingyue will lose his fragrance and jade. Twenty fifty thousand
Emperor Shengxi's weakness is known to the whole country.
"I set up checkpoints at the four gates of the palace under the pretext of the sudden death of the guards, and I changed the palace defenses openly, and secretly investigated the situation of the secret guards, but there was no progress." Emperor Shengxi sighed, realizing for the first time that the secret guard who was deeply believed was also a hidden worry.
The Dark Guard is really easy to use, and any problem can be investigated.
Emperor Shengxi is also accustomed to using secret guards to be in charge of everything, and now not using dark guards is like cutting off his eyes, ears, nose and throat.
Except for asking Su Zhiyu for help, Emperor Shengxi really couldn't think of anyone else.
Looking at Emperor Shengxi with an emotional face, Su Zhiyu secretly raised his vigilance, he didn't forget Emperor Shengxi's move of using the secret guard to control as soon as he entered the Su Mansion, and now he raised the problem with the secret guard, I am afraid that it is a trap.
He didn't doubt the brotherhood with the second prince, but he didn't dare to believe that the second prince who became the emperor.
"Zhiyu, you have to help me this time."
Emperor Shengxi stared at Su Zhiyu with a serious expression and a cautious attitude.
"But Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor said...... "Just as he wanted to refuse with the usual reasons, Su Zhiyu was covered by Du Ruoyou.
"It is my honor and Zhiyu to be able to help Your Majesty, I hesitated for a long time and decided to say it, I wanted to go to the palace to visit Mingyue that day, but I was stopped by a guard outside the palace gate...... "Du Ruonan crackled and sold the guard, "I was worried that it was a trap, so I didn't tell Zhiyu, if you want to check, you can check this guard and the queen's personal female official in his mouth." β
"The bright moon I know doesn't like the people around her to make claims."
"This is also a direction, the dark guards I brought today are all credible, all of them are under the command of Zhiyu, and I am waiting for the good news of Zhiyu in the palace." After Du Ruonan agreed without authorization, Emperor Shengxi's attitude softened.
The emperor returned to the palace satisfied, leaving behind the awkward Su Zhiyu and Du Ruonan.
Su Zhiyu, who was in charge of the decision, was very angry and didn't pay attention to Du Ruonan all night, and Du Ruonan rolled his eyes and fell asleep.
She is not used to Su Zhiyu's problem.
The next morning, Du Ruonan was woken up by scratching his nose with a feather.
"Su Zhiyu, you'd better have a saying, otherwise the study will love you in the next three months." Du Ruonan, who couldn't sleep enough, was particularly hot.
Su Zhiyu complained aggrievedly, "You didn't coax me when I was angry last night." β
"Aren't you angry just because I agreed to Your Majesty's request on your behalf? Su Zhiyu, you touched your conscience and said, can you leave it to Your Majesty without considering the messy things? Can you give up all your scruples? β
Du Ruonan was angry and laughed, and threw Su Zhiyu with a soft pillow.
If he didn't care, Su Zhiyu wouldn't shrink his power to make way for Emperor Shengxi.
"Do you really want Your Majesty to beg you to prove that he is still the second prince who frolicked with you in the past?"
"Proved, what's the use?"
"You should have known that sooner or later there would be such a day, when you assisted him on the throne."
Looking at the autistic Su Zhiyu, Du Ruonan had a headache and didn't know how to coax. Sometimes she thinks that Su Zhiyu is as smart as a demon and frightening, and sometimes she thinks that Su Zhiyu is so naΓ―ve and terrifying that she always wants to prove something, but everyone has long been in place.
Du Ruonan angrily swept Su Zhiyu out of the house.
Su Zhiyu, who took over the investigation, was extremely serious, and became a reliable Master Su in the eyes of everyone.
With the clues provided by Du Ruonan, Su Zhiyu quickly caught the little mice hiding in the shadows, and it was the remnants of Jiangxi who caused the trouble.
Unable to contact Yang Susu for a long time, Jiangxi Yu Xian realized that this chess piece was useless, and was afraid that Yang Susu would expose too much news, so he simply pretended to be a secret guard and infiltrated the underground palace. Looking at Yang Susu, who was served with good food and drink, the fake secret guard decided that Yang Susu had rebelled and made a decisive move.
Emperor Shengxi, who was thinking about how to deal with Yang Cheng, was very angry.
Yang Susu was placed in the underground palace, and the emperor didn't know how to deal with it properly.
A remnant of Jiangxi who jumped around and brushed his feet, in the eyes of Emperor Shengxi, was far less threatening than Lan Zhengguo.
With the help of the confessions of the female officials and guards, Su Zhiyu found traces of Jiangxi's remnants in the mountain temple outside the city. Looking at this familiar place, Su Zhiyu was very reluctant to put the battlefield here, this was the place where he and Du Ruonan met.
"It's not good, the emperor's lackeys have caught up."
Jiangxi Yu didn't understand Su Zhiyu's entanglement, "Look at how many people he brought, and leave Su Zhiyu behind." β
"Avenge the Mingque Lady and the Jiangxi Kingdom."
The remnants of Jiangxi who had made up their minds hid in the shadows one after another, and immediately attacked while Su Zhiyu was distracted, and the move was fatal.
With his strong instinct and strong martial arts, Su Zhiyu was invincible with his fists and four hands, and he was slowly consumed by the remnants of Jiangxi. Physically exhausted, sweat blurred vision, Su Zhiyu did not dare to relax, as soon as he relaxed, he was worried about his life.
At this time, red fireworks exploded in the sky.
"Hurry up, this lackey's henchman is here."
The figure shook, the wind was solemn, and Su Zhiyu only felt a pain in his arm, and he was unconscious.
