Chapter 128: The End
Su Le returned to the north with a few guards, and at this time, Emperor Zhao was discussing the matter of the crown prince with the courtiers.
Some people support Zhao Chaoyang, but some people support Zhao Rongdu, between the two, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are also incompatible, and in the end, Emperor Zhao dropped the copywriting in a word, and landed the prince candidate on Zhao Chaoyang's body, and the prince ceremony a month later.
In this regard, the ministers who supported Zhao Rongdu would definitely oppose it, but Emperor Zhao blocked their mouths as soon as Emperor Zhao Chaoyang and Su Le had a good relationship.
Who in the north and south doesn't know about Su Le's existence now?
Who doesn't know that Su Le is needed to maintain peace between the two countries and the Purple Valley?
Therefore, Su Le and Zhao Chaoyang have a good relationship, which really makes the courtiers unable to refute it, and they also know that as long as Zhao Chaoyang becomes the prince and the future prince, Su Le will be more sincere in helping the northern country.
"Su Le, it's Su Le's stinky woman again. Zhao Rongdu returned to his palace and lost his temper.
It is not the first time that Su Le stood on Zhao Chaoyang's side and became an obstacle to Zhao Rongdu, so Zhao Rongdu hated Su Le to the core.
"Your Highness, now that Princess Changle is unstoppable, she is the one who stands on the side of His Royal Highness Chaoyang, which is very unfavorable to you!" Qi Tian and Zhao Rong both said.
Hearing this, Zhao Rong gritted his teeth: "I still want you to say this, isn't this truth that His Royal Highness will not be tomorrow?"
There is still a month before Zhao Chaoyang ascends to the throne of the crown prince, and if it really comes to that time, it will be even more difficult for him to move Zhao Chaoyang.
"Your Highness Rongdu, in fact, my subordinates have a suggestion that I don't know whether to say or not. Qi Tian said.
"If you have something to say, you can say it. Zhao Rongdu glared at him.
Qi Tian hurriedly said: "Your Highness, your subordinates think so, since Princess Changle is your obstacle, then why don't you ...... directly?"
Qi Tian didn't finish his words, but made a killing move, and Zhao Rong was surprised: "You mean ......?"
"Your Highness, there are some things that you have to be ruthless to obtain, and although doing so may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, if you want to get to that position, you have to make a decision, and you don't have much time to think about it, you have to think clearly about what you want, what you don't want, and whether you give up or not depends on what you think. ”
......
In the Chaoyang Palace, seeing Su Le, Wanyun and Zhao Chaoyang were very happy.
"I knew you would be back to the north so soon, and I would have waited a few days to come back with you. Wan Yun smiled.
Su Le lazily raised his eyebrows: "If you stay in the southern country, you are willing to give up your highness?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you just be separated for ten or twenty days, as if I can't live without him. Wanyun glared at Su Le shyly, and then looked at Zhao Chaoyang with a red face.
Zhao Chaoyang smiled slightly and said, "Why did Sister Le come back suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
"There are some things, so I will stay in the northern country for a while, just waiting for your crown prince ceremony before leaving. Su Le originally wanted to leave after finishing his errands, but he didn't expect Emperor Zhao to make the crown prince at this time, and Su Le didn't want to leave at this time, so he thought about staying for a while.
It's just that Yicheng was also in a hurry to use the money, so two days later, after getting those gold and silver treasures from Tianlin Mountain, Su Le ordered Hua Rong and the guards to leave first.
Of course, it's just that these people Su Le is not very relieved, so he called Shi Xiaoxiao and several of her senior brothers.
Shi Xiaoxiao They are all from Purple Valley, and now they are sending silver to Yicheng, of course they will not object, and they will do their best to escort them.
For this reason, Su Le, the escort team, is still relatively relieved, but it is precisely because of this that Su Le has no one around him who can be used, so Hua Rong expressed his worries.
"Girl, if we all go to escort this batch of silver, what if something goes wrong on your side?"
Su Le smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there still Chaoyang and Xicheng here? You can rest assured if they are here! Besides, the most important thing now is that the silver arrives in Yicheng safely." ”
"This ......"
"Don't do this, now that the two countries have shaken hands and made peace, I can handle the general situation myself, so this matter is so decided! If something really happens, I will ask Chaoyang and them to send someone over, you can rest assured that you can escort the silver back with Xiaoxiao and them!"
Hua Rong knew that she couldn't talk about Su Le, and in the end, she could only leave with Shi Xiaoxiao and them.
Originally, Hua Rong also felt that Su Le was a little reasonable, Su Le's martial arts were not weak, and now there was nothing to compete with the two countries, Su Le was also beneficial to the two countries, and it stands to reason that no one would move Su Le.
But Hua Rong didn't know that as soon as they left on the front foot, someone on the back foot attacked Su Le in the middle of the night, if Su Le hadn't been alert and jumped out of the window to leave, this would have become a corpse.
"The kitchen, as well as the east and west courtyards were on fire at the same time, and when the servants in the house were fighting the fire, Sister Le was assassinated, so it can be seen that the murderer came to Sister Le. Standing in front of the ruins, Zhao Xicheng analyzed lightly.
"A good Xianghuang Mansion, but now it has become like this...... But fortunately, the most important thing is that Sister Le is okay. Zhao Chaoyang also said.
"But who is the murderer? This is to put my sister to death!" Zhao Xicheng was very angry.
Su Le encountered this kind of thing as soon as he came back, which shows how much the murderer wants Su Le to die, but Su Le has made great contributions to the north and south and the Purple Valley now, and he really can't think of who is so vicious.
"No matter who it is, this person must have some purpose, but according to my sister's current identity, it shouldn't be!" Zhao Chaoyang frowned slightly.
Su Le was silent, half loud, she said lightly: "Maybe I'm in the way of others!"
In fact, Su Le had already thought of a person, but he couldn't be sure.
Zhou Qitian Prince Ceremony, Zhou Kongshuo can even dare to move Emperor Zhou for that position, and now Zhao Chaoyang is canonized as the crown prince, and a month later, the Tai Da Ceremony will officially become the heir to the throne, can Zhao Rong sit still?
And she is close to Zhao Chaoyang, with her behind her back, Zhao Chaoyang sits firmly on the throne of the prince, so Su Le is wondering, will this matter be related to the canonization of the prince?
Of course, this was just Su Le's speculation, and Su Le didn't have any evidence, so he didn't say it.
Xianghuang Mansion has become a ruin, and Su Le can't live here, but Zhao Chaoyang's side is the East Palace after all, and there are many rules, so Su Le didn't want to live in it, so he went to King Qian's Mansion.
Zhao Xicheng welcomed Su Le in: "Sister, you can live here with peace of mind in the future, I will send someone to protect your yard at all times, and not a single fly will fly in." ”
"Uh......"
Su Le stroked his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "There's no need to stay in the courtyard, just let him patrol outside King Qian's mansion." ”
Staying in the yard, is that to protect her or to 'watch' her?
She didn't want to be free at all.
"Sister Le, it's a very moment, there is no one by your side, how can I rest assured?"
"Then you can send a maid who knows martial arts to follow me, otherwise I will be suffocated by you if I am not killed." Su Le said.
Zhao Xicheng opened his mouth, he wanted to persuade something, but thinking of Su Le's personality, he could only agree with Su Le's words.
It didn't take long for Zhao Xicheng to give Su Le a maid.
"Her name is Wu Shuang, she is the daughter of the housekeeper, she has been practicing martial arts with the guards since she was a child, although she can't be said to be particularly good, but she can get by, let her follow you temporarily!"
"Wu Shuang has seen Princess Changle!" Wu Shuang clenched her fists and said in a very chivalrous manner.
Su Le smiled back: "It's okay to call me a girl, I'm actually not used to others calling me a princess." ”
"Yes, girl!" Wu Shuang changed her words, without any joy or anger on her face, as if whatever the master said, and people couldn't see her emotions.
The days passed day by day, and soon, the prince's ceremony was coming, and for this reason, Zhao Rongdu became more and more unable to calm down.
"Qi Tian, what's the matter with you? The idea was yours, but you haven't done it yet, do you have this ability? If so, then Your Highness should consider whether you are suitable to stay by Your Highness's side. ”
"His Royal Highness Rong Du was angry, things were going well, but He Nai, Princess Changle was very cunning, and ran away as soon as she saw that Miao was wrong, and now Princess Changle lives in King Qian's mansion, and the house is heavily guarded, and there are maids around to protect her, and her subordinates can't find a chance to do it. ”
"Your Highness, whether you have a chance or not, what Your Highness wants is the result, the result, do you understand?" Zhao Rong was furious, if Su Le didn't die, he wouldn't have a chance to bring down Zhao Chaoyang, unless......
Zhao Rongdu suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "Isn't Zuo Wanyun commensurate with Su Le's brother and sister-in-law?" Presumably the relationship is not bad, since Su Le can't find a chance on his side, then look for it from that woman, as long as there is that woman in hand, Su Le has to give in." ”
Hearing this, Qi Tian's eyes lit up: "This idea is good, or Your Highness is smart." ”
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, go to the palace immediately, if you mess up again this time, your highness will take your life. ”
"Yes!"
Chaoyang Palace.
These days, Zhao Chaoyang is busy with the prince's ceremony, and Wanyun is not idle in the Chaoyang Palace, because she decided to make a python robe for Zhao Chaoyang by herself.
On this day, Wanyun was holding a needle and thread in her hand and was about to embroider the final pattern, but at this time, a slave walked in and said to her: "Princess, Princess Changle asked someone to pass the word, saying that she would let you go over." ”
Wan Yun was stunned: "Let me go?"
At this time, let Wanyun pass, Wanyun felt a little strange, because she had only gone to see Su Le yesterday.
The slave shook her head: "No!"
"Oh, that's okay, let's prepare the horses!" Wan Yun said, then put down the needle and thread in her hand and prepared to meet Su Le.
But when she got into the carriage and walked for a while, the groom said, "Princess, the road ahead is blocked, and I don't know which bastard blocked things on the road." ”
Hearing this, Wanyun lifted the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, there were a lot of sundries piled up on the road, and the carriage couldn't pass at all.
Seeing this, Wan Yun had no choice but to say: "This is not far from King Qian's Mansion, let's walk!"
Wanyun's slave maid immediately got out of the carriage first, and then helped Wanyun down, but just as they recommended passing through the sundries, suddenly, a group of fierce black-clothed people poured out of the street, killing the carriage and Wanyun's slave and maid without saying a word.
"Ahh
"Don't scream, I'll kill you if I scream again!"
"You, I recognize you, you are Qi Tian, the personal guard of His Royal Highness Rongdu. Wanyun recognized Qi Tian immediately, and finally knew that she had been fooled.
"Wasn't it Princess Changle who just sent the message, right? Did you pretend to use Princess Changle to spread the word in order to lure me out?" Wan Yun said again.
Qi Tian smiled: "Imperial Concubine Chaoyang is smart, you are right, all this is to lure you out, after all, who told you to be better than Princess Changle!"
Although Wanyun is the princess, she has just married into the northern kingdom, and she has no enemies, and her own value is not great, so no one will do anything to her.
Naturally, the guards around him were not strong, but because of this, Qi Tian took advantage of the loophole.
When Qi Tian mentioned Su Le, Wan Yun had already guessed that Qi Tian wanted to use her to blackmail Su Le: "In this way, the water in Xianghuang Mansion a few days ago was all a good thing done by Your Royal Highness Rongdu?"
"It seems so. Qi Tian didn't deny it, Wanyun was just a weak woman, and she had already fallen into his hands, and Qi Tian didn't think she could escape, so there was no need to deny it.
"You bastards!"
"Imperial Concubine Chaoyang, don't talk nonsense, come with us!"
Wanyun didn't want to listen, but they had already fallen into the hands of others, so how could she be allowed to do it at will, so although she was unwilling, she was still kidnapped by Qi Tian and others.
Soon after, Su Le received a letter with only a few words: If you want the Chaoyang Imperial Concubine to be safe, go to West Lake alone.
Su Le held the letter paper in his hand, and was shocked in his heart, something happened to Wanyun?
"Girl, what's wrong with you? What is written in the letter?, why is your face so ugly?" On the side, Wu Shuang asked suspiciously.
Su Le secretly took a deep breath, and then said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a letter from a friend, by the way, His Royal Highness Chaoyang is about to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, I don't seem to have prepared any gifts, and my sister is too disagreeable." ”
Hearing this, Wu Shuang's face was expressionless: "The girl has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness Chaoyang, even if you don't send it, His Royal Highness Chaoyang will not blame you." ”
"I know, but we still have to give it away, let's go and choose a gift and send it to Chaoyang Palace!"
Su Le wants to go out, of course, it is a group of guards, because this is Zhao Xicheng's confession, saying that once Su Le goes out, the guards must not be less than fifty, so no, Su Le saw four rows of guards waiting as soon as he arrived at the door.
"That...... Do you want so many people to follow?" Su Le seemed to say that she would not go, how could she be in the mood to buy something on the street like this, but when she thought of Wanyun, she had to go again.
Because the time was urgent, Su Le also wanted to find out as soon as possible whether Wanyun was in Chaoyang Hall now, or if she was really captured, so Su Le casually found something and walked to Chaoyang Palace.
After a while, Su Le entered the Chaoyang Hall alone, and when he asked about Chaoyang, the minions said that he had not returned from the early dynasty, and when he asked about Wanyun, the minion's expression was even more strange: "Didn't the imperial concubine let you call away?"
Hearing that Wanyun was called away by 'herself', Su Le was secretly frightened, but she didn't dare to alarm others, because she remembered that the letter asked her to go to West Lake alone.
Su Le said quietly: "Yes, you look at me, I forgot, that's okay, since she went to my side, then I'll go back." ”
Wanyun was not in Chaoyang Palace, and said that she was called away by Su Le, at this time, Su Le didn't know that Wanyun really fell into the hands of others.
So when she returned to King Qian's mansion, Su Le pretended that she was tired, and after taking a break, she asked Wu Shuang not to disturb her.
Wu Shuang didn't have any objections, because she had been by Su Le's side these days, Wu Shuang knew that Su Le didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was resting, so she didn't think much about it.
It's just that Wu Shuang didn't know that as soon as she closed the door in front of her, Su Le left through the window on her back foot.
Su Le came to West Lake according to the letter, and as soon as she appeared, a man walked up to her and motioned for Su Le to go with him.
Su Le knew that this was to lure her to meet the mastermind, or what the purpose was, but no matter what the other party thought, since she came, she had to go, otherwise Wanyun would be in danger.
Following the man, Su Le walked through a few winding paths, and then got on a painting boat.
Inside the painting boat, the smoke from the incense burner lingered, and a handsome man was sitting in the central seat.
This man Su Le is not a stranger, seeing this person, Su Le smiled coldly, and the guess in his heart was even more certain: "Sure enough, it's you, I thought, at this time, who will attack me, and who wants to kill me through Wanyun, in fact, I thought of you first, but there is no evidence, it seems that today, His Royal Highness Rongdu is really unwilling!"
Zhao Rongdu drank all the wine in the cup, and then looked at Su Le indifferently: "Do you think His Royal Highness should be willing? His Royal Highness's ability is not bad, why is it not me who was elected as the crown prince? Although I am not the heir to the throne, but the Fourth Highness of the Southern Kingdom prays for heaven next week, isn't it not the throne? But he sits on the throne of the crown prince, so why can't I?"
Su Le knew that it didn't make sense with this kind of person, because Zhao Rong only cared about imperial power, so she also decided not to talk nonsense with her, so she said directly: "What about Wanyun, what did you do to her?"
Hearing this, Zhao Rongdu laughed: "Do you still have time to care about the lives and deaths of others?
"I see it clearly, but so what? It doesn't matter if I'm dead or alive, the important thing is that I don't want to involve others, and since I'm already here, can I rest assured that she can be reassured? Otherwise, it's a little difficult for you people to catch me, right?" Su Le had observed since he got on the painting boat, this painting boat was not very big, so there were only a few people who could hide.
This is probably because Zhao Rongdu has Wanyun in his hands, so he has no fear and doesn't worry that she won't comply.
"Your Royal Highness knows that you are strong in martial arts, otherwise Uncle Qian would not have been abolished by you at the beginning, so I need a hostage, but don't worry, as long as you die, I will not embarrass Princess Chaoyang, after all, she is of little use to His Royal Highness, she is a dispensable and intimate object sent by the southern country, and it is definitely not possible to use her to blackmail Zhao Chaoyang, so she can only blackmail you, the sister-in-law. ”
Zhao Rongdu didn't plan to move Wanyun, and he didn't bother to do anything about this kind of dispensable existence, so he just wanted to kill Su Le's obstacle now, so that he would have the opportunity to pull Zhao Chaoyang off the horse.
"I want to see her first!" Without seeing whether Wanyun was safe or whether it was really in Zhao Rongdu's hands, Su Le was not at ease for a moment.
Zhao Rongdu squinted slightly, as if he was thinking about such a problem, and after a long while, he waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take people out.
After a while, the two guards came out with Wanyun left and right, Wanyun was gagged, and when she saw Su Le, she shook her head desperately, and tears fell.
Su Le smiled at him: "It's okay, you can go home soon, let her go!"
"Then it depends on whether you are worthy of cooperating or not, and you will tie her up to His Highness. Zhao Rongdu pointed at Su Le evilly, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
He knew it worked.
Su Le has always attached great importance to love and righteousness, since Wanyun is Leng Jun's younger sister, Su Le has no reason not to be nervous.
Su Le gritted her teeth, but she could only obey Zhao Rongdu's words, because she knew that once she resisted, the two people around Wanyun would definitely kill Wanyun.
For Wanyun's safety, Su Le could only obey for the time being.
It wasn't until Zhao Rongdu's people tied up Su Le that Su Le said again: "You can release people now, right?"
"Let's go!" Zhao Rong didn't even look at Wan Yun, and directly asked the guards to send Wan Yun to another painting boat.
"Alright, it's time to go, let's settle our problems......"
