In the Yuanzhao Kingdom, the most important thing is to enter the earth for peace, if you are dug up and cut the corpse after death, the soul will not rest in peace, and you will not be able to enter reincarnation.

Therefore, if someone robs the tomb in Yuanzhao and is discovered, he will inevitably be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.

If someone with a deep blood feud does this, the two sides will definitely be incompatible, and they will be entangled and revenge for generations, and they will not die!

Su Zhaoyue was buried by Su Li herself, and the tomb was only a mound of earth and a stele made of wooden plates, and it was buried near the mass grave, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a tomb with valuable burial goods, and it can't be stolen by tomb robbers.

The only person who can do this kind of thing is only one person, An Jue!

Su Li picked up the jade hairpin and chased it, the sky was already bright, the street was much more lively, the beggar turned out of the alley and disappeared into the crowd, Su Li looked left and right, and chose the direction to go to the city gate.

She was so angry that her chest hurt, and she couldn't wait to grab the person who hit her just now and chop it with her own hands!

What did An Jue do digging the grave of her second sister? What happened to his second sister's body?

Countless bad conjectures poured into her mind, and her blood kept surging, boiling with steaming blood, making her whole person fall into boundless madness.

I want to kill, I just want to kill!

The crowd suddenly rushed to this side, Su Li was hit twice, her body was unstable, her shoulder was suddenly buckled by a hand, Su Li's nerves were tense, and she immediately counterattacked by such a ride, grabbed the hand on her shoulder and fell hard, and the person fell to the roadside stall, and the jade hairpin in her hand hit the neck of the visitor.

"Where is my second sister?"

Su Li gritted her teeth and asked viciously, and the neck of the person who came was held against her and she couldn't breathe, and coughed: "Ah Li, it's me!" ”

Between coughing, the white neck was punctured by the hairpin and overflowed with red blood beads, which made Su Li's eyes red, and the person gradually regained his senses, and immediately let go when he saw the face of the person who came.

"Sir!"

Su Li screamed, her chest still churning with anger, and her throat was itchy and bloody.

"What's going on? Who are you looking for? ”

Gu Yuanfeng covered his neck and asked in a low voice, and the unstoppable blood flowed out from his fingers.

The vendor on the side was frightened, and was hesitating to report to the official, Su Li threw a few copper plates to the vendor, pulled two silk cloths from his stall and pulled Gu Yuanfeng to a secluded alley.

"Isn't there a temple test today? Why did the gentleman come out of the palace so quickly? Su Li asked and used a silk handkerchief to help Gu Yuanfeng wrap the wound and tie a slipknot.

"There is something wrong with the palace test, the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion has caused some trouble, and Mrs. Zhaoling will go to the palace to live for a few days."

Gu Yuanfeng said briefly, and did not elaborate on the uproar that had just happened in the court.

Just above the court, Tanhualang, who was in the imperial examination this time, said in front of the civil and military officials that there was still a testament in the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, openly wanting to support the Xiaoyao Marquis as the king and let Chu Lingzhao abdicate.

The Tanhualang people have been escorted into Dali Temple, and Zhao Hanzhuo was ordered to go to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion to invite Mrs. Zhaoling into the palace.

As soon as the wave was calmed, there were palace people who reported that someone posted a notice in the city to spread rumors, and Gu Yuanfeng was ordered to go out of the palace to suppress rumors.

"I'm afraid there will be chaos in Beijing these days, you and Ah Zhan stay in the mansion well, don't leave the mansion easily." Gu Yuanfeng grabbed Su Li's hand and told her, he just saw Su Li on the street and wanted to talk to her about the situation, so as not to make her act in a hurry.

Su Li suppressed her anxiety, her mind thought quickly, the will came out suddenly, it was obvious that someone was deliberately using this to provoke the relationship between Chu Lingzhao and Chu Huai'an, as long as Chu Lingzhao was sure that Chu Huai'an did not have the heart to be the emperor, this will would only need to be found out and destroyed.

However, the crux of the matter is that Chu Huai'an is not in Beijing now, and even Lu Ji and Lu Xiao are not in Beijing.

Lu Guogong is the most loyal and patriotic.

Chu Lingzhao is a king, the first emperor is a king, and Emperor Yue Zhao is even more a king, which one will he be loyal to?

If he is loyal to Emperor Yue Zhao, in accordance with the holy decree left by Emperor Yue Zhao, he will help Chu Huai'an to succeed him as emperor, and with the support of him and Lu Ji and the entire Zhenbei army, can tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in Jingzhong District resist?

Besides, Chu Huai'an's trip is to welcome the envoy group into Beijing, if Chu Huai'an hostages the Hu people's king and reaches an alliance with the Hu people, under internal and external troubles, Chu Lingzhao has a second way to go except to give way?

At this time, Chu Lingzhao asked people to invite Chu Liu's family into the palace, in addition to asking about the whereabouts of the will, it was also a disguised hijacking.

However, only the Chu Liu clan is not big enough, Chu Lingzhao always has something in his hand, and he can hold Lu Xiao and Lu Ji father and son hostage.

Su Li's eyes widened slightly, and she vaguely had a bad conjecture, and immediately hurriedly saluted Gu Yuanfeng: "Mr. Trouble led the troops to the imperial tomb to see if the old marquis's tomb is okay, Ah Zhan is at home alone, I don't worry, I'll go back and see him first!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Yuanfeng to answer, Su Li turned around and plunged into the crowd and rushed back towards the county lord's mansion.

The streets were full of officers and soldiers catching the people who posted notices and spread rumors, and from time to time people ran away, and Su Li was hit and fell a few times before returning to the county lord's mansion.

As she expected, the door of the mansion was indeed wide open.

Su Li stabilized his mind and stepped into the house, all the people in the house were trembling and kneeling on the ground, Su Li didn't have time to ask, and went straight to the courtyard where Su Zhan was, and saw a group of royal forest soldiers with knives in the distance.

The atmosphere in the small courtyard was extremely tense, the two sides were tense, and as long as they moved, it was a bloody battle.

"Ah Zhan!"

Su Li called out to break the deadlock and walked over quickly, but the people guarding outside did not let her enter the house, and raised his hand to put a knife on Su Li's neck.

"County Lord Su, I will invite Young Master Su to enter the palace on the orders of His Majesty, are the people in your house now going to resist and disobey the order?"

"Don't dare!" Su Li replied calmly, took a step back and showed that he would not break through: "Your Majesty wants to see Ah Zhan, this is a blessing from Ah Zhan's cultivation, but today's battle is too big, and the people in the house are eager to protect the lord, please put down the knife and allow me to change clothes for Ah Zhan and then enter the palace to meet the saint?" ”

"Your Majesty's urgent order, no delay!"

The leader said unkindly, obviously afraid that Su Li would use the time to change clothes to play some tricks.

"Okay, if you don't change your clothes, I'll take Ah Zhan into the palace together!"

Su Li readily agreed, but the man hesitated, and his attitude was still tough: "Your Majesty only summoned the little young master alone!" ”

The implication is that Su Li doesn't want to enter the palace together.

This is already Su Li's bottom line, Su Li straightened her back and didn't give an inch: "I'm just a weak woman, even if I enter the palace, I don't dare to do anything in front of everyone's eyes, if you insist on taking Ah Zhan away today, then step on the corpses of me and everyone in the house!" ”

After Su Li finished speaking, the momentum of several people who were protecting Su Zhan was also shocked.

There are a lot of Imperial Forest troops around the small courtyard, but all the people left behind by Lu Guogong are all elites, and if they really want to fight, maybe they can fight to the death.

The leader only received the order to take Su Zhan into the palace, and did not say that he was going to slaughter the county lord's mansion, thinking for a moment, he took the knife and retreated half a step, and the imperial forest army behind him also retreated, making way for Su Li to accompany Su Zhan into the palace.

Su Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to pull out a faint smile and beckoned to Su Zhan: "Ah Zhan, come to my mother's house." ”

Wu Da and Wu Er were still a little hesitant, but seeing that Su Li was calm and calm, he let go of Su Zhan.

Su Zhan immediately pounced on Su Li, who squatted down and hugged him, checked it, and was relieved to make sure he was not injured.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go."

Su Li opened her mouth and took the lead in holding Su Li and walked out.

Chu Lingzhao's move today has clearly determined that Su Zhan is Lu Ji's flesh and blood!

Once Lu Xiao and Lu Ji showed the slightest intention to help Chu Huai'an ascend to the throne, it was difficult to say what would happen to Su Zhan and Chu Liu.

The Imperial Forest Army came on horseback, and when they entered the palace, Su Li and Su Zhan rode together, which was much faster than taking a carriage.

After entering the palace, Chu Lingzhao did not rush to see Su Li and Su Zhan, but just asked them to wait in the side hall, and the palace people kindly offered tea and pastries.

Su Zhan was picked up from his sleep by Wu Da and Wu Er, and before he had breakfast, he ate two or three pastries with tea and stood beside Su Li obediently.

Su Li touched his head and comforted him silently, Su Zhan suddenly looked up at Su Li: "Mother, after you left this morning, I had nightmares again." ”

He didn't sleep well last night, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were blue.

Su Li gently stroked his face: "What nightmare?" ”

"I dreamed that my grandfather and father died."

Su Zhan whispered, his tone was neither sad nor joyful, like some kind of ruthless sentence, Su Li's hands stiffened, and he palpitated for a while, and for a while he ignored Su Zhan's title to Lu Guogong and became a grandfather.

It took a long time for Su Li to suppress her shock and take Su Zhan into her arms: "Dreams are all the opposite, they will be fine." ”

Su Zhan pursed his lips and didn't speak again, he leaned on Su Li's shoulder, and looked fixedly at the person who walked in from the door of the hall.

The man was dressed in bright yellow clothes, and the clothes were embroidered with gold thread with a magnificent dragon, against the light, he could not see the man's face clearly, but he remembered that the dragon on the clothes was exactly the same as the dragon in his dream last night.

It's just that the dragon was covered with blood, hot, and blood that had just poured out of his father's body.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chu Lingzhao looked at Su Zhan and asked, this is the second time he has seen this child, this child is more calm than the last time he was in the council hall, his little face is tense and expressionless, but a pair of black eyes are staring at him directly, not afraid of the power of the Son of Heaven at all.

Su Li had her back to the door, she was startled by Su Zhan's words just now, she didn't notice that Chu Lingzhao came in, and when she heard Chu Lingzhao's question, she didn't have time to stop it, Su Zhan had already opened her mouth to answer: "You killed my grandfather and father!" ”

"Ah Zhan!"

Su Li snorted, turned around and pulled Su Zhan to kneel: "The courtiers meet Your Majesty, the young son had a nightmare last night and talked nonsense, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Chu Lingzhao didn't pay attention to what Su Li said, walked straight to Su Zhan, leaned over and pinched Su Zhan's chin and raised his head: "Who are the grandfathers and fathers in your mouth?" ”

"My grandfather is Lu Guogong, and my father is a general on the edge of the town!"

Su Zhan said crisply, his tone firm, with two points of pride.

Su Zhan always knew that he had a grandfather, his grandfather lived in the distant Beijing, he was an old man who was addicted to alcohol and loved to train people, he liked to fight when he was young, and when he was old, he always had waist and leg pain and refused to accept old age.

No one told him that his grandfather was a prince of the dynasty, a respected minister of the Yuanzhao Kingdom, and had made countless great military exploits.

After returning to Beijing, Lu Ji and Lu Guogong never mentioned each other's identities in front of him, but he knew very well in his heart that the old man with gray hair but a straight body, the old man who loved to call him a stinky boy was his own grandfather.

"Please forgive your majesty!"

Su Li leaned over and kowtowed, but Chu Lingzhao still ignored her, helped Su Zhan up, squatted and looked at Su Zhan: "Why did I kill them?" ”

Speaking of nightmares, Su Zhan frowned, and his expression was a little sad: "I don't know, I saw my father tied up, you let people cut off his head, blood splashed far away, your clothes were full of my father's blood, my father's head rolled to my feet, and he told me not to cry......"

In the end, Su Zhan's eyes blinked and tears fell, he was so sad.

In the dream, Lu Ji told him not to cry, and he tried his best not to cry, but now he can't help it.

Dad's head was cut off with a knife, it must have hurt so much, he was so uncomfortable, how could he not cry.

In the end, it was still a child, Su Zhan couldn't stop crying, his little shoulders shrugged, very pitiful, and Su Li's heart ached for a while.

Chu Lingzhao is also a father now, when facing Su Zhan, it is much more difficult for him to feel two points softer, he held Su Zhan's face, and gently wiped the tears on his face with his thumb: "Your grandfather and your father are both the mainstays of the Yuanzhao Kingdom, and they are the people I rely on, I will not kill them for no reason." ”

What he said was that he would not kill for no reason, and if there was enough reason, he would still kill.

Su Zhan was still young, and he had no concept of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he was not flattered after being wiped from his tears by Chu Lingzhao himself.

He looked at Chu Lingzhao with teary eyes: "He...... If they make a mistake, will you kill them? ”

"Shouldn't those who have made mistakes be killed?" Chu Lingzhao asked rhetorically, his voice was not hurried, revealing a faint coldness, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with asking a child who was only five or six years old with such words.

Su Zhan was not frightened by this sentence, he stopped his tears, exhaled his nose and thought seriously for a while and asked tentatively: "Can't you change what you did wrong?" Mr. said...... Knowing your mistakes can make a difference. ”

"Some mistakes can be corrected, and some mistakes can't."

Chu Lingzhao replied, Su Zhan frowned and looked entangled: "My grandfather and father are people who stand up to the sky, and they will not make that kind of mistake that cannot be changed." ”

"If they don't make mistakes, I can naturally keep your grandfather and father safe for a hundred years!" Chu Lingzhao promised that this promise was said to Su Zhan, but it was more for Su Li.

Su Zhan was ignorant, he didn't understand the meaning behind Chu Lingzhao's promise, but the fear left in the nightmare was dispelled a lot by Chu Lingzhao's firm tone, and his mood stabilized.

Chu Lingzhao hooked the tears on his eyelashes: "Okay, from today onwards, you will live here and wait for your grandfather and father to come back safely." ”

After speaking, Chu Lingzhao stood up and called in a deep voice: "Someone!" Take Young Master Su away! ”

His voice suddenly became sharp, Su Zhan retreated a little frightened, and Su Li also raised his head suddenly, but saw Yue Yan hurrying from outside the palace gate.

"Huh?"

Su Zhan recognized Yue Yan at a glance, and let out a small exclamation, Yue Yan nodded at him, glanced at Su Li again, didn't dare to say anything, and pulled Su Zhan away.

Yue Yan is still Chu Lingzhao's nominal righteous sister now, and she is the lord of Renxian County, and she takes care of Su Zhan, so she reassures Su Li more than others.

As soon as Yue Yan and Su Zhan left, the palace people guarding outside immediately closed the door of the palace, most of the light was blocked, and the hall was darkened, and it seemed that even the temperature had dropped a few points.

Su Li lowered her head again, her forehead pressed against the ground: "The courtiers concealed the life experience of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Lu Guo and deceived Your Majesty, please condemn Your Majesty!" ”

She is a very conscious criminal, and every time an incident occurs, she obediently admits her guilt without even trial.

Chu Lingzhao nodded, looking at her condescendingly, like looking at an ant: "If you don't follow Su Zhan into the palace today, do you know what I plan to do?" ”

"The courtiers don't dare to speculate on the holy will!"

Su Li replied, a cold sweat was already soaked in his back, and there was frost in the corners of Chu Lingzhao's eyes, not at all as soft as when he faced Su Zhan just now, and he said lightly: "For a woman who has repeatedly bullied the king, it is natural to kill with a knife to eliminate the anger in her heart!" ”

Ordinary people will be angry when they are deceived, let alone an emperor who has all the power of life and death?

Su Li knew that what he said was true, her body fell lower, and she had the courage to speak: "Your Majesty is still useful in keeping the life of your courtier!" ”

"What's the use?"

"The courtiers can help His Majesty find An Jue!" Su Li said loudly, when she said An Jue's name, there was a monstrous hatred between her mouths, like a beast that wanted to drink blood and eat meat.

"Do you know where he is now?"

"The courtiers don't know."

"What Dali Temple can't do, how do you want me to believe that you can do it?"

Chu Lingzhao asked leisurely, Su Li is simply empty now, and wants to pick up a life from Chu Lingzhao in one sentence, where is there such a cheap thing in the world?

"Your Majesty, the courtiers abolished An Jue's life, and the Hou Ye broke An Jue's arm again, An Jue can't compete with the Hou Ye, so he can only pinch my soft persimmon, just a few hours ago, An Jue asked people to give the courtiers a thing, and the courtiers believe that soon after, he will continue to let people give the courtiers tokens to retaliate against the courtiers."

After Su Li finished speaking, she took out the jade hairpin from her sleeve pocket and presented it to Chu Lingzhao.

Chu Lingzhao didn't answer, and looked at the hairpin in Su Li's hand coldly: "I know that I have heard that Lang Qing and concubines are willing to give each other tokens, and in order to repay the revenge, I have sent hairpins to the enemy, but this is the first time I have heard of such a ridiculous thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, this hairpin is the burial object of the second sister of the courtier." Speaking of this, Su Li's chest was cramping again, she gasped twice to stabilize her mind and continued: "An Jue dug the tomb of the second sister of the courtier!" ”

When the words fell, there was a sound in the entire side hall, and Chu Lingzhao did not speak for a moment.

He knew what it meant to be dug up in Yuanzhao.

He wouldn't have any doubts about how deep Su Li's hatred for An Jue was, but that didn't mean that Chu Lingzhao would easily let Su Li out.

There have been too many things happening in Yuanzhao Country recently, and he must be cautious!

"Did I tell you about the will?"

Chu Lingzhao asked tentatively, Su Li was able to help Chu Huai'an plan to elope with Su Wanyue when she was young, and now she can naturally help Chu Huai'an to take the throne!

If Chu Huai'an had premeditated, all these years of pretending to be a play, it is very likely that everything in the past five years has been a play played by Su Li and Chu Huai'an.

Su Li first destroyed her reputation and went to the border to get close to Lu Ji to seek Lu Ji's trust, and Su Wanyue was also Chu Huai'an's move, a chess piece he placed next to Chu Lingzhao, An Wuwu may be Chu Huai'an's accomplice, or Chu Huai'an is the yellow finch behind An Wuwu.

The endgame left after An Wuwu's success fell short was just right for Chu Huaian to take advantage of the situation!

If there was no will, these things would be irrelevant, but with this will, it is strangely reasonable to think about it.

After all, after Su Li returned to Beijing, Zhao Hanzhuo and Gu Yuanfeng had obviously been co-opted, plus Lu Ji and Lu Xiao, Chu Lingzhao naturally had to guard against it!

"Back to Your Majesty, the Hou Ye has never told his courtiers about the will, and the people's daughter only knew about it today!"

"Didn't you say that?" Chu Lingzhao muttered and kicked Su Li's shoulder with his toes, and Su Li raised her head and looked at him frankly.

"Five years ago, Shangshu Mansion was heavily guarded, how did you escape from Shangshu Mansion, and how did you get to Lu Ji's side?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, Su Li's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to start being suspicious from what happened five years ago!

The heartbeat accelerated, Su Li's face was not obvious, and she tried her best to keep her composure: "Five years ago, the courtier's daughter was framed, and her reputation was ruined, and one night the courtier's daughter accidentally learned that her father and grandmother were discussing to sink the courtier's daughter into the pond, and the courtier's second sister couldn't bear to see the courtier's daughter die in vain, so she made an argument to let the courtier go, so she ruined the good marriage, and the courtier's daughter was unwilling, and went to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion to confront the marquis. ”

Originally, Chu Lingzhao was already suspicious of Chu Huai'an, and Su Li should have concealed this little episode, but if Chu Lingzhao found out by himself in the future, Su Li's intention to deliberately conceal this matter would be unclear, so it would be better to make it clear now.

"What did you say to Jinyuki that night?"

Su Li took two deep breaths and recalled what happened that night five years ago.

"That night, the Hou Ye was drunk and wanted to humiliate the courtiers, the courtiers asked the Hou Ye why the courtiers saw each other but never appeared, the Hou Ye denied this, the courtiers were furious and bluntly said that the eldest sister framed me, the Hou Ye said that the courtiers were not qualified to say so, the courtiers were disheartened, but they were found by Mrs. Zhaoling in public, and ordered the Hou Mansion slaves to sell the courtiers into the Goolan Courtyard, after leaving the city, the two had bad intentions towards the courtiers, and the courtiers pretended to be obedient and killed the two with their own hands!"

Speaking of this, Su Li's hands clenched into fists, and the humiliation and injury she received that night, she put it down when she said it, but it still hurt when she thought about it.

At that time, she was still the third lady of Shangshu Mansion who was pampered, even though she was suffering some hardships by the Zhao family on weekdays, she did not suffer a lot of hardship, and the first time she killed someone, she finally remembered it deeply and will never forget it.

"And then?"

Chu Lingzhao continued to ask, and so far, Su Li's statement has not seen any problems.

"That night with the courtiers fled with the courtier's personal maid He'er, the courtiers and the nuke in her distant relative's hometown for a few months, and then the nucleus and a person and two loves, the courtiers entrusted her to leave alone, never thought of meeting the mountain bandits halfway, the courtiers were cut by the mountain bandits and fell off the cliff, and when they woke up, they happened to meet General Lu who was sealed in Beijing and was ready to return to the border pass."

Chu Lingzhao calculated the time, he was still the crown prince that year, Lu Ji defeated the Hu people at a young age, and the banquet was organized by the first emperor himself, just after his wedding banquet, after the banquet, Lu Ji stayed in Beijing for several months before leaving Beijing, but it coincided with the time Su Li said.

"The courtiers didn't know that it was General Lu at the time, and they only wanted to escape from the land of right and wrong in Kyoto, so the courtiers stole a war horse in General Lu's team and prepared to escape."

"Stealing the war horse, Lu Ji didn't kill you?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, Su Li licked her lips and nodded: "The general naturally can't tolerate such behavior, he personally rode a horse to chase after him, and almost cut the courtier's daughter under the horse with a knife, but the courtier's life was big, she fainted from the horse due to serious injuries and fainted, just dodging the general's knife, the general found that the courtier's daughter was a woman, and she was seriously injured, and he thought that there was a hidden secret, so he left the courtier's life." ”

"This one left you in the army?"

It is important in the army, and it is not possible to leave people in the army at will, and it is not in line with the legal system.

"The courtiers concealed their identities from the general, only said that they were persecuted in Beijing, and begged the general to take the courtiers to the border pass, and the general found a place for the courtiers to settle down, and the courtiers lived in the border pass for several months, and the Hu people often came to harass, and the courtiers saw the suffering of the soldiers at the border pass, and later the general was injured, and the people took care of the general for a period of time, and the general allowed the people to go in and out of the army."

"So, this kid has nothing to do with you?"

The royal family has not had children over the years, and Chu Lingzhao has not seen many children in the palace, so he doesn't know much about the age of the children, he suspects that Su Zhan is Lu Ji's child, but he never doubts whether Su Zhan's biological mother is Su Li.

"Yes!"

Su Li nodded, and when she looked at Chu Lingzhao, her eyes bloomed with hatred that was not much different from Fang Cai: "Ah Zhan's biological mother was killed by the Hu people, and the courtiers only listened to others, Ah Zhan is the Hou Ye...... Dissected from his mother's corpse with his own hands! ”

A child cut out of a corpse.

How hard is this child's life?

What kind of personality does the person who dissects the child have that is different from ordinary people?

Chu Lingzhao was stunned, and Su Li slammed on the floor tiles: "Your Majesty, the courtiers guarantee with their lives, the general will never have the slightest involvement with the Hu people in this life, and the Hou Ye has always been stubborn, and he will never have undeserved thoughts about the throne!" This will is just a pretext used by ill-intentioned people to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the Hou Ye and the general, please don't fall for the villains! ”

Don't fall for the bad guys!

Chu Lingzhao didn't want to, he and the Queen Mother had already separated, and the other royal brothers had always had a weak relationship with him, and for so many years, only Chu Huai'an had a closer relationship with him.

Everyone wants to sit in this position, but only those who sit in this position know how lonely and lonely it is.

If the will had been revealed a few months earlier, Chu Lingzhao would not have taken it seriously at all, but now it is different, Chu Huai'an has coveted Su Wanyue for five years or even earlier without him.

Chu Huai'an can worry about Su Bangyue for so long without being discovered, why can't he worry about this throne?

People are like that, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can never be stopped.

There was no reply, Su Li's heart sank, she was a little flustered, and after thinking for a while, she raised her head suddenly: "If Your Majesty is jealous of Hou Ye because of the matter of the noble concubine, you might as well think about the jar of wine that the courtiers gave to Hou Ye that night, Hou Ye and the courtiers thought that there was the broken intestines that His Majesty said at that time, if Hou Ye really had bad intentions, how could he drink that jar of wine so easily?" ”

This incident really moved Chu Lingzhao all at once.

The jar of wine was personally mixed by him for Chu Huai'an, when he took a pack of crotons and a pack of broken intestines, no one knew what he ended up in that wine.

He had a showdown with Chu Huai'an and Su Li respectively, just to let Chu Huai'an also taste what it was like to be stabbed by someone he cared about.

As Su Li said, if Chu Huai'an and her were really plotting something, the jar of wine would not easily enter Chu Huai'an's belly!

Chu Huai'an dared to drink, but he was frank in his heart, at least before this will came out.

Chu Lingzhao's brows relaxed, and a low call suddenly came from the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Gu asks to see you!" ”

"What?"

Chu Lingzhao asked in a deep voice, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his voice was steady, and he didn't let the people outside hear his tiredness at all.

The palace man was silent for a moment before he replied: "Lord Gu said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, and he must meet the saint in person. ”

Chu Lingzhao frowned, he saw Gu Yuanfeng's previous intention to defend Su Li, and now at this critical juncture, he didn't want to listen to Gu Yuanfeng to ask for something for Su Li.

However, after thinking about it, Gu Yuanfeng was not a stupid person who did not act without measure, and Chu Lingzhao did not act rashly.

"Let him in!"

After the words fell, the door of the palace was pushed open, Gu Yuanfeng hurriedly walked in, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Li kneeling in front of Chu Lingzhao, obviously he didn't expect Su Li to enter the palace.

However, at this time, Gu Yuanfeng didn't care about asking so many questions, and hurriedly knelt in front of Chu Lingzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister just got the news from the rumor-mongers and rushed to the imperial tomb to find that the old marquis's tomb had been stolen!" ”

"What!?"

Chu Lingzhao stood up and shook his body angrily.

What a daredevil! These people even dare to break into the imperial tomb!

"Is there any damage to the body of the Second Emperor Uncle? Can other tombs be damaged? ”

"The old marquis's body has not been damaged, but the coffin has traces of being opened, I am afraid that someone took something from the coffin, and the other ......"

Gu Yuanfeng hesitated to stop when he said this, Chu Lingzhao's brain was about to explode, and he immediately asked, "What else?" What are you doing so much? ”

"The tombstone of the first emperor has been cut off in half!"

The tombstone was cut off in half!

This is tantamount to digging up a human corpse and whipping it after death!

Chu Lingzhao's eyes widened, he was so angry that he was short of breath, and only after a while did he scold: "Ridiculous! Daring! What a daredevil! What about the guards of the Imperial Tomb? Why wasn't it reported? ”

"Half of the thirty guards mutinied, and the others were caught off guard and all died!" Gu Yuanfeng said in a deep voice, thinking of the tragic situation of the corpse in the imperial tomb, he still had some heart palpitations.

Thirty guards and half mutinied.

Why did they rebel? To whom did they pledge their allegiance after the mutiny?

An Wuwu is dead, An Jue is fleeing, and the An family is at the end of the crossbow, why do these people still rebel?

Just like the Tanhualang in the court today, he didn't want a good future and his life, but he insisted on supporting the Marquis as the king in front of hundreds of officials, are these people crazy? Why were they so sure that they would succeed to the throne as they wished, because of a sudden will?

Chu Lingzhao was furious, his mind was constantly disturbed, and he couldn't think of anything else that he had missed for a while.

"Your Majesty, the tomb of the old marquis has been stolen, and the will that is rumored in the outside world may have been taken away by people with a heart, and the minister guesses that those people will take the initiative to find the marquis with the will and persuade the marquis to succeed to the throne!" Gu Yuanfeng spoke, Chu Lingzhao naturally thought of this, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and motioned for Gu Yuanfeng to continue.

"With the loyalty of Hou Ye and General Lu, they should not easily believe each other's words, but I am afraid that they will create some illusions to make Hou Ye and General Lu think that His Majesty is suspicious of them, and they must strike first, Hou Ye and General Lu are very likely to be forced to rebel in order to protect themselves!"

Indeed, Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji are afraid that they have now reached the border pass, the border pass is thousands of miles away from Beijing, they don't know what the situation is in Beijing, if they are maliciously deceived, it is very likely to do something irrational.

"What does Aiqing think this matter should be handled?"

"The minister dared to ask His Majesty for his life, and asked the minister to rush to the border with a team of light soldiers to explain the situation in Beijing to the Hou Ye and the general! Tell them that everything is fine in Beijing, His Majesty did not listen to the rumors, and asked the two of them to escort the envoys into Beijing safely. ”

Gu Yuanfeng took the initiative to ask for his life, Su Li's eyelids jumped, and he spoke first without waiting for Chu Lingzhao to speak: "Your Majesty!" Lord Gu's proposal is very good, but Lord Gu is not the best candidate, the courtier is! ”

In terms of force, Gu Yuanfeng is a civil official, and his right hand is still useless, he can't compare to Su Li at all, and in terms of kinship, Gu Yuanfeng has an average friendship with Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji, which is not as reliable as Su Li's appearance.

Chu Huai'an didn't attach great importance to Su Li before, if he wanted to hold him hostage, in addition to Chu Liu's family, Su Li could also be regarded as a bargaining chip.

Chu Lingzhao can rest assured that Su Li will go to Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji, and naturally he will not do anything to Chu Liu and Su Zhan.

"Your Majesty, no!" Gu Yuanfeng hurriedly spoke, wanting to stop it, but was interrupted by Su Li again: "Your Majesty, An Jue seduced her with the body of the second sister of the courtier, I am afraid that she also wanted to lure the courtiers out of the imperial city, and kidnapped the courtiers so that they could deceive the marquis and the general with fake and chaotic truths. ”

Chu Lingzhao was silent, things happened so suddenly, there was no time and room to think at all, it was like an invisible hand pressing his head and forcing him to make a decision.

He hated the feeling of being manipulated and persecuted, very much hated.

Time is not the right time, and if you miss the opportunity, you will lose everything.

Su Li had to speak again: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctors in the palace will study some secret medicines, if Your Majesty is not at ease, the courtiers are willing to take the poison, Your Majesty will give the antidote to a credible person and set off with the courtiers, once you find that the courtiers behave differently, if you don't understand the medicine, the courtiers will definitely die!" ”

There is indeed such a secret medicine in the palace, which is often used to control the dead, and the dead can withstand the torture to extract confessions, but they can't bear the pain when the medicine is released, which shows how amazing the effect of these drugs is.

Su Li's proposal for this method can indeed make Chu Lingzhao feel a lot more at ease.

"Your Majesty......" Gu Yuanfeng wanted to dissuade him again, but Chu Lingzhao raised his hand to stop: "Aiqing will go out first, I have something to say to the county lord of Su." ”

This is basically decided, Gu Yuanfeng looked at Su Li worriedly, but Su Li did not respond to his gaze.

This is a student he brought out single-handedly, and even if he hasn't seen her for five years, he knows her stubbornness well.

What she wanted to do, no one could stop.

Gu Yuanfeng left, the side hall was quiet again, Chu Lingzhao stood in front of Su Li with his hands in his hands, Fang Cai's emotions had all been reined in, and he had become the emperor who was scheming again.

Su Li knelt in front of him, obviously very low eyebrows, but her back was straight, and the backbone that refused to bend was not inferior to a man.

"How many people do you want me to ask for this trip?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, his expression was dark and unclear, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Su Li knew that now was not the time for her to give people if she wanted someone Chu Lingzhao would give to someone, so she raised her head and asked calmly: "How many people does Your Majesty want to give to your courtiers?" ”

"Now that the situation in Beijing is unknown, it is the time to employ people, and there are not many people around me who can use them."

What Chu Lingzhao said was the truth, the Zhenbei Army was led by Lu Xiao, and it was necessary to deter the Hu envoys, and they were not allowed to be called at will, and the hussars led by Zhao Feiyang had a history of conspiracy against the An family, and it might be self-defeating to rush into the capital, and Chu Lingzhao could only use the personal soldiers of the imperial city and the secret guards he had cultivated over the years.

How many dark guards there are, he can't give Su Li a thorough explanation, these are his henchmen, give Su Li one more, and the invisible threat to him will be one more.

"Your Majesty, with only one courtier, I'm afraid you won't be able to get An Jue's head, if Your Majesty wants to capture An Jue alive, I'm afraid you need more manpower."

Su Li also told the truth, she was now using herself as bait to lure An Jue out, and Chu Lingzhao didn't have such a good thing if she wanted to empty the white wolf.

"I give you five people, these five people will not obey your orders to help you do things, no matter what happens, only An Jue will show up, they will take action."

The implication of these words is that if Su Li didn't have the ability to lure An Jue out and was killed by An Jue's people first, those secret guards would not help her.

Five people is the upper limit of the manpower he is willing to give Su Li.

Su Li nodded, Chu Lingzhao didn't mention the matter of feeding her poison, which was already the greatest tolerance and trust.

"In addition to these five people, the courtiers also want to ask Your Majesty to set off with the courtiers alone."

"Who?"

"Deputy Director of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhao Qi!"

In the evening, Su Li came out of the palace, the remnant sun was like blood, the sky was dyed bright red, the night wind gradually rose, blowing away the dry heat of the day and bringing a trace of coolness, not far away a dark back figure stood with her hands in her hands, waiting for her quietly.

Su Li was not surprised, and walked over: "Let Mr. wait for a long time." As soon as she stood still, she opened her mouth to admit her mistake.

I was used to her temperament, Gu Yuanfeng didn't care, and his tone was rare and relaxed: "It's okay, anyway, I've been waiting for five years, and it's not bad for this time." ”

Su Li was speechless, a little ashamed, after returning to Beijing, in order not to involve Gu Yuanfeng in, she had been deliberately estranged from him, but he never minded, and spoke for Su Li several times to relieve the siege, and today, Su Li made a decision again, as if she didn't take him as a gentleman in her eyes at all.

"When to go?"

"I'll go at night."

"How sure are you of this trip?" Gu Yuanfeng asked, his eyes fell on the small scar on her face, and there was a dense pain in his heart.

Knowing that what he was asking was what his chances of winning, Su Li hesitated for a moment but decided to be honest: "There is no chance of winning." ”

Chu Lingzhao's secret guard didn't help Su Li, and Su Li was alone, Su Li really didn't know if she could survive until An Jue showed up.

She bet on An Jue's conceit, like Zhang Ling, who is stubborn and self-serving, for the hatred of the broken arm and the hatred of the root, she will personally slash Su Lifang to relieve the hatred in her heart.

If there is someone behind him to help with the plan, Su Li will only be more auspicious if he goes.

"No odds?" Gu Yuanfeng muttered to himself, a little distracted, and after a while, he muttered to himself: "You didn't plan to go back to Kyoto five years ago, aren't you coming back now?" Anything that is not until the last moment, there should still be a turnaround. ”

This was said to himself, but after speaking, he seemed to convince himself, raised his hand and rubbed it on Su Li's head, just like he sent Su Li home after teaching many years ago.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of the people you're worried about."

Su Li didn't say goodbye to him five years ago, and now that I think about it, if Su Li didn't go to the Hou Mansion that night, but went to the Gu family, he would let her leave with peace of mind like today.

With her eyes slightly hot, Su Li took a step back and knelt down, bowing uprightly: "Ah Li thank you, Mr." ”

"No need, between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

If there is no master and apprentice in this life, how can you see with your own eyes how you can proudly bloom in the wind and snow?

Saying goodbye to Gu Yuanfeng, Su Li did not return to the county lord's mansion, and went straight to the coffin shop in the city to ask for a coffin.

The coffin is made of fine nanmu, the black lacquer is very uniform and smooth, and the inside is covered with soft velvet balls, and the secret corpse incense is placed, which helps to preserve the corpse.

Su Li paid quickly, and the guy drove the car and Su Li to transport the coffin to the county lord's mansion, because of the changes in the daytime, the county lord's mansion was not lit, and the house was dark, and the carriage swayed to the door of the mansion only to see a person standing tall, it was Zhao Qi.

"Lord Zhao!" Su Li called out to say hello, jumped out of the carriage easily, and didn't say hello to Zhao Qi, and greeted directly: "Lord Zhao came just in time, and I bothered Lord Zhao to take the handle and carry the coffin in with his buddies." ”

Zhao Qi was introverted and didn't say much, and carried the coffin in with his buddies.

There was no mourning hall in the house, so Su Li directly asked them to put the coffin in the hall.

Wu Da Wu Er waited for a long time, and was startled when he saw Su Li coming back with the coffin, but he didn't rush to ask questions when he saw that Zhao Qi, an outsider.

After putting the coffin away, Su Li took out the jade hairpin from her sleeve pocket and put it inside.

Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid that with a little more strength she would break the hairpin.

After putting away the hairpin, Su Li turned around and told Wu Da Wu Er: "I have something to leave Beijing overnight, you alone take ten people to see Lord Zhao and Master Gu, they will help take care of Ah Zhan, if there is any accident, you can listen to their orders." ”

"Where is the girl going alone? Lord Guogong ordered us to protect the girl and the young master, and the safety of the girl is also within our responsibility! ”

"I have some personal grievances to deal with, Your Majesty ordered Zhao Vice Wei to walk with me, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Qi put the coffin and stood next to him with his back straight, Wu Da Wu Er knew that he was the one who exposed Lu Ji who left his post without permission that day, and he had a very bad impression of him, and he had to be dissuaded, but he was stopped by Su Li with a look.

Now that the situation is complicated, Su Li naturally has her own considerations for such an arrangement, thinking of Lu Guogong's instructions before leaving, the two swallowed the words that had not yet been spoken, and bowed, which can be regarded as accepting Su Li's arrangement.

"Lord Zhao, wait a while, I'll go get some coils and follow you on your way."

After Su Li finished speaking, she turned around and calmly entered the inner courtyard, bypassed the corridor, and when she was about to walk to her courtyard, a person who had protected Su Zhan before appeared in front of Su Li.

Su Li hurriedly spoke: "Go to the Quartet Dart Bureau early tomorrow morning, ask them to send the best dart master to take an empty dart all the way, follow the route of the ordinary caravan to the border pass, stay overnight to go to the place of fireworks, and pay the expenses in advance first, and record it in the account of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion!" ”

……

At the end of the day, two fast horses stepped out of the city and disappeared into the night.

Behind them, five dark shadows followed them like ghosts.
