Chapter 164: Dead, You Killed With Your Own Hands

Su Qingyuan slowly curled the corners of her lips, and smiled faintly: "There is a road in heaven, you don't ...... go"

His Royal Highness shivered involuntarily.

Su Qingyuan pointed to his hand and smiled.

His Royal Highness glanced down and found that dense red dots had grown on the back of his hand at a visible speed, and both hands were red and swollen in the blink of an eye.

No, not two hands, but the whole body—all over the body, itchy.

Su Qingkite bumped into a few obstructive guards, walked to Lu Li's side, and met everyone's resentful gaze.

"Demon girl, you detoxify me first!" His Royal Highness roared.

Su Qingyi frowned slightly, took off a pearl earring and threw it far into his mouth.

His Royal Highness immediately stood up honestly and did not shout any more.

As for whether it's still itchy or not, only he knows.

Su Qingyuan smiled mockingly at the elders, raised the three fingers of his right hand, and said nonchalantly: "I make Qiao'er swear to heaven - my son was born to me and my beloved, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Divine Sparrow. If there is half a word of falsehood, my son and I will be struck by thunder and killed on the spot. ”

The Divine Sparrow Patriarch and all the elders frowned in unison, revealing a look of doubt.

Lu Li put the sword back into its sheath, took Su Qingyuan's hand, and let out a long sigh.

Wrath? Heartache? Or is it a whisper? At this moment, the emotions in his heart are a little complicated.

Su Qingyuan looked at the patriarch, hooked his lips and sneered: "I'm really sorry, there doesn't seem to be thunder in the sky!" ”

The patriarch froze, still a little unwilling: "That kid ...... It really has nothing to do with the Three Highnesses? ”

Su Qingyuan sneered and was silent.

An elder beside him asked sharply, "Since the child has nothing to do with the Third Highness, how can you explain the matter of enchantment?" What about the Wuzhi Soul Renewal Pill? How did the Third Highness die? ”

Lu Li pulled Su Qingyuan into his arms and said in a low voice, "There's no need to explain so much to these idiots. Let's just level this temple and destroy the gods! ”

When several elders who were standing closer heard this, their faces changed.

Su Qingyuan shook her head slowly, and looked at the patriarch calmly: "My charm is indeed the guidance of your third highness." But - your third highness entered the palace as a eunuch at the age of nine, don't you even know? ”

"What did you say?!" The crowd was shocked.

Su Qingyuan glanced at His Second Highness and said mockingly: "You might as well ask your Second Highness, why did you do everything possible to send your own brother to the palace to be a eunuch?" ”

His Royal Highness still stood as straight as a log, not moving.

Su Qingyuan said leisurely: "Second Highness, don't say that it is to install a few people in the palace, there are always twenty or thirty eunuchs you have sent into the palace over the years, where is it to the point where you must catch your own brother?" To put it bluntly, you're just trying to make him the last one, right? ”

"Second Highness, can you ...... Is there such a thing? The patriarch was so angry that his beard trembled.

His Royal Highness remained motionless.

Su Qingyuan walked over, pulled the earring out of his mouth, threw it on the ground and poked it with the tip of the knife.

His Second Highness finally spoke—a roar of pain.

He threw himself to the ground in embarrassment, clutching at his body as if he were about to peel off his flesh and skin.

"Madam, is your hand too poisonous?" The patriarch turned his head and glared at Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan smiled at him: "I just showed this hand to tell you that I didn't have to explain anything to you, let alone lie to you. Because I have all the means to bring about the destruction of your Divine Sparrow Clan, even cleaner than the Wu Clan disappeared back then! ”

The Second Highness shouted "Ahhhhh

Su Qingyuan thought of the little plum who had been tortured by having his tongue pulled, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he picked up the earrings that had been broken before with the tip of his knife and threw them on the body of the Second Highness.

His Royal Highness was a little quieter.

Su Qingyuan glanced at him and sneered: "You can answer the patriarch's question yourself." ”

The patriarch immediately rushed over and grabbed the collar of the Second Highness: "It was you who sent the Third Highness to the palace...... To be a eunuch? ”

His Royal Highness hesitated and nodded.

The patriarch was so angry that he raised his fist and smashed it in his face, and then asked sharply: "Did you kill the Third Highness?!" ”

His Royal Highness screamed, looked up at Su Qingyu, and shook his head desperately.

The patriarch also raised his head and looked at Su Qingkite.

Su Qingyuan smiled nonchalantly: "He's quite tough, and he won't accept the slightest grievance!" - Yes, your three highnesses died for me, and it has nothing to do with that toad. ”

When His Royal Highness heard Su Qingyuan compare him to a "toad", he was immediately furious.

But the patriarch glanced at the face of the Second Highness and felt that this analogy was quite appropriate.

Everyone stared at Su Qingyuan, waiting for her to explain.

Su Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lizi did die for me, and he did give me the Wuzhi Soul Renewal Pill before he died. But that was because the rebels were attacking the city that night, and I was in the middle of a difficult birth, and my life hung by a thread. - Not the reason that the toad said earlier. ”

The patriarch will be skeptical.

Su Qingyuan was no longer interested in continuing to explain, so he squatted down beside His Second Highness again: "How do you want to die?" ”

His Royal Highness closed his eyes and shook his head desperately.

Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out to pick him up: "Give me back my child, and give you a good time!" ”

His Royal Highness still shook his head.

He's not stupid. After offending Su Qingyuan thoroughly today, he knew that things would not end so easily.

Someone has to die, and the only bargaining chip he has to keep alive is that child.

Su Qingyuan saw through the other party's thoughts, hated it in her heart, and was about to do it when she lifted the blood knife.

"Madam, he ......" the patriarch still wanted to intercede.

At this time, Gu Lingxiao rushed in with his gold-armored soldiers and a group of women.

Su Qingyuan saw one of the women holding a small swaddling cloth in her arms, and immediately forgot about the Second Highness, and quickly got up to meet her.

"Niangniang, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!" Gu Lingxiao shouted excitedly.

Su Qingyuan took the child, and her eyes immediately turned red.

The children are all the same, and she never knows what her children are like.

But she just knew that this child was connected to her blood, completely different from the one in the temple before.

She didn't even have to see the child's little face.

In fact, Su Qingyuan really couldn't see the appearance of the baby in her arms clearly. There was only a brilliant light and shadow in her eyes,—— it was a mischievous tear.

The child was quiet, his bright eyes kept turning, and he looked curiously at the woman in front of him who was crying.

The woman who was holding the child earlier exclaimed in amazement: "This is really strange, His Royal Highness has never let anyone hold him before!" ”

Lu Li walked over and encircled Su Qingyuan and the child in her arms into his arms, unable to say a word.

Gu Lingxiao had no choice but to laugh and say, "The little prince has been recovered, you should be happy, why do you two just cry?" ”

Su Qingyuan wiped her eyes and looked up at Lu Li: "Even if I cry, you will cry too?" Is there a shame in it? ”

Lu Li turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes, and then turned back and smiled: "It's still our children who are good-looking!" ”

Only then did Su Qingyuan see the child's fleshy little face clearly. Her heart was so soft that she couldn't help but reach out and pinch it on that little face.

The woman next to her hurriedly shouted, "Can't pinch!" ”

The little one in the swaddling clothes opened his toothless mouth and giggled.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh too: "There are dimples, like me!" ”

Lu Li couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth: "What do boys do with dimples?" Silly! It's better to be like me......"

"What did you say?" Su Qingyuan raised her head and glared at him angrily.

Lu Li hurriedly raised his hand in surrender: "I mean, it's good to have dimples!" Delicate, good-looking, pleasing to the eye - in short, our children are the best looking in the world! ”

"That's pretty much it!" Su Qingyuan turned his anger into joy.

Gu Lingxiao suddenly roared and rushed out: "Huh! Stop me, that mouse! ”

Su Qingyuan was taken aback and hurriedly followed his direction.

It turned out that His Royal Highness took advantage of the inattention of others and limped into the corner, intending to escape.

Gu Lingxiao didn't make much effort to arrest him back and escort him to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, how to deal with this thief?" ”

Lu Li frowned.

The patriarch and the elders next to him looked at each other, and after a long while, they suddenly knelt down in unison.

Only then did Gu Lingxiao realize that he was carried away today, and he actually called out everyone's true identities.

Su Qingyuan only cared about the child, and didn't care about the things on the side.

Lu Li really wanted to snatch the swaddling clothes over and hug them, but he didn't expect to win the robbery, so he reluctantly looked away and looked at the Second Highness who was paralyzed on the ground: "If I remember correctly, are you in charge of purchasing garden flowers and trees in the palace?" Over the years, you have bullied others and dominated the market, and you have accumulated a lot of money, all for the purpose of recruiting troops and preparing to enter the capital? ”

The Second Highness couldn't say a word, only kowtowed.

Lu Li sighed: "I didn't know that Xiao Lizi was your younger brother...... Your methods are good, shady enough, vicious enough. ”

His Royal Highness suddenly raised his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, in fact, the villain has no intention of rebellion......"

Su Qingyuan walked over and sneered: "Don't you think it's too late to say this now?" ”

"Mother, Queen Mother!" His Royal Highness suddenly pounced.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously took two steps back.

Lu Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her back nervously, for fear that she would step on the air.

His Royal Highness threw himself at Su Qingyu's feet and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, it was your mother who came up with the idea to send my third brother into the palace, and it was your mother who stole you and the emperor's child out and handed them over to the villain to bring them back to the gods, and it was your mother who recruited the villain to recruit troops and fight back to the capital!" You want to cure the villain's sin, but let the culprit go, and the villain will not accept it! ”

Su Qingyuan played with her son's little finger and smiled lightly: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" After the thieves broke the city, the Queen Mother had been martyred and buried in the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum, don't you know? I am the daughter of the Wailang Ling family, and I have nothing to do with the Su family! ”

His Royal Highness glared at her and watched her open her eyes and tell nonsense.

Su Qingyuan continued unhurriedly: "The anti-thief Su Yi has been ambushed, and his wife Lin - that is, the old palace maid called 'Aunt Nian' - has also touched the pillar and died, and now there is only one Su Qingjia left in the Su family who is still surviving, this is the end of rebellion, do you understand?" ”

"Dead ...... He's dead? His Royal Highness's face turned pale.

Lu Li said in a deep voice: "Yes, the damned ones are dead." The Su family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and once it is stained with the word 'anti', there will be no way to live. Why do you think you can live? ”

The Second Highness finally knew that the general trend had gone, and the whole person immediately felt like a bone had been pulled out, and he didn't even have the strength to lie on his stomach.

The elders who knelt on the ground trembled, and they had the heart to plead, but they did not dare.

Lu Li looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Kill this thief, you still have a way to live." ”

"The Emperor...... Are you really the emperor? The patriarch looked up and asked incredulously.

Lu Li snorted coldly: "The Divine Sparrow once had a chance to return to the country, but you gave it up yourself." Now, give yourself a little time to think about what to do next. ”

"Second Highness, he ......" The patriarch was still a little unwilling.

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at him: "Forgive this palace for interjecting - the Divine Sparrow died twenty years ago, where is there any 'Second Highness'?" ”

The patriarch shuddered and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes...... Without His Royal Highness, this thief kidnaps the prince, offends the emperor, and intends to rebel - the crime is not punishable! ”

"Then kill it." Lu Li said lightly.

Gu Lingxiao responded, and was about to step forward immediately, but Su Qingyuan stopped him, took the long knife in his hand and handed it to the patriarch.

The patriarch was stunned for a long time before he stepped forward tremblingly and plunged the long knife into the back of the heart of the Second Highness.

"Cheap him!" Su Qingyuan sneered.

The patriarch sat on the ground, trembling and cramping all over his limbs.

Lu Li stretched out his hand to put his arm around Su Qingyu, turned around and left.

The patriarch hurriedly propped himself up and staggered after him: "You...... Are you really the emperor? ”

Lu Li stood still and smiled: "Yes or no, does it matter?" Your 'Second Highness' is dead, and you killed it with your own hands. ”

The patriarch sat down on the ground, stunned.

"That's it, don't scare him." Su Qingyuan smiled and persuaded.

Lu Li agreed, walked to the hall and sat down: "I hid my identity from you before, because it was not necessary, and because I didn't know your roots, I didn't dare to take risks until the child found it." Now that Commander Gu has leaked it, I'm not afraid that you will know. ”

The patriarch settled down, and hurriedly led the elders, family members who did not know the truth, and the guards to the ground, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

The people under His Second Highness's subordinates were initially reluctant to kneel, but as soon as the gold-armored soldiers made a move, they were knocked down in a few strokes, and they had to kneel if they didn't kneel.

After they finished saluting, Lu Li said in a deep voice: "Twenty years ago, I have carefully examined the dossier. Although Xiliang made a hindrance from it, it was also a fact that the lord of the country at that time was at both ends of the rat, and he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. At that time, rumors were rife all over the world, and Cihang failed to fulfill his responsibilities, but instead added fuel to the fire, causing South Vietnam to be in turmoil for a while. - Therefore, at that time, the court acted vigorously and severely punished the lord of the Divine Sparrow, which was not considered to have wronged you. ”

The patriarch and the elders had to say "yes."

Lu Li groaned slightly, and said: "Even so, my father's original intention was not to let the divine sparrow collapse from now on. The people are innocently affected, and it is enough to hide in Tibet after all these years. ”

The patriarch raised his head in surprise: "The emperor means-"

Lu Li glanced at him and said calmly: "The Divine Sparrow can stand up with a straight back, but it no longer needs a powerful lord. From now on, the name of 'Shenque' can be restored, and all rights and responsibilities will remain the same. As for the affairs of the kingdom, the patriarch and the elders shall discuss and handle them together, and there is no need to start from scratch. ”

All the elders looked at each other, and they all felt that this decision was very novel.

At first glance, it seemed that Lu Li didn't want to bother, and asked them to do things according to the way they used to handle the affairs of the clan; When you think about it, there doesn't seem to be a better way to do it right now.

So, the matter of the restoration of the country that they had been waiting for for twenty years was solved so easily?

Lu Li glanced at the patriarch and called out his name accurately: "Bi Zichang." ”

The patriarch hurriedly knelt down again.

Lu Li looked at him with a somewhat cold expression: "As the head of a clan, you are indecisive, confused, and easily deceived by others. In the future, when encountering problems, we should listen to the opinions of the elders of the audience more, and we should not be self-explanatory. ”

The patriarch was terrified, and hurriedly kowtowed and said "yes".

Lu Li stretched out his hand to help him up, and sighed: "Caring for the old feelings and being loyal to the old master is the source of your indecision, but it is also the place where you value love and righteousness." I hope that you will not forget your original intention in the future, always remember the people of the gods, and don't let me down. The edict and the Great Seal will be sent by stagecoach after I return to Beijing, so you just have to rest assured. ”

The patriarch was ashamed and wiped away his tears.

Lu Li said with a smile: "It's not early today, I and the queen are just afraid that they will come to your house to disturb you for a night, and I hope you don't have to be annoyed." ”

The patriarch's face turned red, and he even called him "panicked".

After Lu Li said this, he immediately couldn't wait to come to Su Qingyu's side and take the swaddling clothes in her arms.

Su Qingyuan let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm tired to death!" ”

Lu Li smiled: "In this case, I will hold him in the future." ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Su Qingyuan glared at him.

Lu Li pinched the little guy's face with a smile, and said with a smile: "How can you just 'think beautiful'? I am 'beautiful'. - Of course, my son is more beautiful! ”

"Lu Li, I think you're a little shameless!" Su Qingyuan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Well, the near-ink is black." Lu Li twisted his neck proudly, not feeling ashamed at all.

Next to him, the patriarch and the elders were dumbfounded.

This...... Is it still the emperor who overwhelmed them with his momentum just now?

Honestly, it's kind of scary.

Isn't it just a son! Everyone present has sons, grandchildren, and a few have great-grandchildren, but no one has ever had a son like a certain emperor, who has never seen the world!

However, seeing Lu Li's jubilant appearance and completely ignoring his image, the old guys had to admit that they were actually a little envious.

The patriarch quietly retreated to the back of the crowd, wiped his sweat, and secretly said, "It's dangerous."

He was often confused, but he wasn't stupid.

If it weren't for the joy of Zhu Gui's palm that diluted the anger of these two ancestors today, I'm afraid that there would be a river of blood in the Vermilion Bird Temple?

It's also a shame that the little prince is safe and sound, otherwise even if he kills tens of thousands of people of the gods, I'm afraid he may not be able to expose this matter!

It can be said that the little prince is the lucky star of the sparrow!

When going down the mountain, Gu Lingxiao came to ask about cleaning up the battlefield, and Lu Li learned that they came in from the back mountain and killed two or three hundred guards before finding the child.

Those who are alive, without masters, naturally have nothing to fear.

"Leave it to the patriarch." Lu Li said casually.

Gu Lingxiao was happy. So the guards who were still showing off their might in front of the patriarch before became the patriarch's subordinates in a blink of an eye, and they were all wilted.

As for the woman who served the little doll before, Su Qingyuan carefully reviewed it, picked out a few with good hearts, and kept them.

There's really no way around it. After all, a child is easy to recognize, and he can't replace all the people around him at once.

The nurse must stay. Su Qingyuan likes the nurse very much, and with her dedication to the little guy, she knows that the little guy has not suffered anything in the past few months.

Su Qingyuan snatched the little guy back from Lu Li's arms again, and he couldn't get enough of it in his arms.

Lu Li pitifully grabbed Su Qingyu's arm: "If you find your son, you don't want me anymore!" ”

"Well, he's so much cuter than you." Su Qingyuan said frankly.

Lu Li's heart gave birth to a strong sense of crisis. He found that his future was likely to be bleak.

Su Qingyuan didn't care about him at all.

Lu Li had no choice but to hug her from behind, and stuck to her with a dead face: "But I think that although my son is good-looking, he is still not as good as you." ”

"Of course!" Su Qingyuan didn't blush at all.

Lu Li was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "You are not modest!" ”

Su Qingyuan still didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Lu Li simply rested his chin on her shoulder, no matter how difficult it was to walk like this.

"Ah Kite, in the main hall before, they used another child to perfunctory, how did you see the flaw?" Lu Li had nothing to say.

Su Qingyuan frowned, and said after a while: "That one, it's full of flaws!" ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Li said busily.

Su Qingyuan handed his son to him casually, stood up straight and straightened his clothes: "First, the woman holding the child has a heavy smell of fat powder, but there is no milky fragrance, so it can be seen that she is definitely not a nursing mother; Second, the child had too many tears, not like a baby less than three months old. - After discovering these two flaws, I touched the top of the child's head again, and found that the center of his head was already quite strong, and it was estimated that it would be five or six months old. ”

Lu Li was confused.

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and sighed silently.

What a newborn child should look like, she didn't know before.

In the past few months, because she misses her children, she often deliberately asks the palace maids and grandmothers around her: what is a one-month child like, and what is a two-month-old child like...... Although the child did not grow up with her, she did not want to miss any of his small changes.

Although the child returned to her on the first day, he had always grown in her heart. With such a humble and pitiful careful thought, how could she be embarrassed to let Lu Li know?

Su Qingyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, pretending to be casual, and said in a flat tone: "Even if there are no flaws, they can't fool me." My own children, who can recognize it by just intuition. ”

Lu Li sighed with emotion, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and someone hurriedly ran over.

Su Qingyuan glanced back, frowning slightly.

It's lily of the valley.
