The emperor looked angry and funny, "Come here, will I eat you?" ”

Su Youyi refused to go over, leaning her back against the wall with a vigilant expression, "When did the emperor know?" ”

The emperor paused, "When I slept on the tower for the first time, you called my father in my arms in the middle of the night. I wondered if something had happened to your father that would make you miss him like this. I sent people to find out all the way to Lingnan, and your father's death was also a big deal in the local area, so I naturally found out the squire who died with your father, surnamed Ji. ”

"In other words, the emperor knew about it last year?"

The emperor didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Su Youyi was stunned in surprise, and it took a while to react, "In terms of deep thoughts, no one can compare to the emperor." The emperor knew the truth so early, and he couldn't hold back until now? ”

The emperor said: "I just want to wait for you to say it yourself, and see how long you plan to hide it from me." ”

Su Youyi suddenly felt a little weak, "If it's just my own business, it doesn't hurt to say it." But after Ji Yushen took the exam, he didn't care about me, and I already had a dislike for him, so I naturally didn't want to mention him. What's more, if he is in the court, if the emperor is prejudiced against him because of my relationship, he and I are also fellow villagers, and I can't harm him in his career. ”

The emperor chuckled, "But who kept telling me before that Ji Yushen was a very deep person, so I shouldn't trust him easily?" ”

If you don't want him to have a bad career, why do you say this?

Su Youyi said: "That's different. It is a fact that I said that he was very deep in the city, and I reminded the emperor to pay attention to him because he was the most important figure for the emperor to deal with Li Ge's old party, and he must not be lost. What matters is the emperor's great cause, compared to this, what is that bit of comradeship? ”

The emperor smiled slightly when he heard this, and the depression in his heart was completely loosened.

It turned out that she would say bad things about Ji Yushen for herself, not because of love and hatred against Ji Yushen, that's fine.

He said: "Then Ji Yushen took the initiative to tell you about this this time, which is a great favor for you, what do you think?" ”

Su Youyi cupped her cheeks, "I originally thought that he might be the first rat at both ends, and wanted to curry favor between the emperor and Li Gelao, but now I feel that he is really on the emperor's side." After all, if he just wants to profit from it, there is no need to tell me this, and let Concubine Xian suffer a heavy blow. ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and some words were not said in the end.

There are some things that you should not tell her.

Su Youyi suddenly said: "The emperor caught those killers who went to the Tan family, and he will definitely be able to find out that the old man Li Ge is behind this matter, how does the emperor plan to deal with it?" ”

The emperor asked rhetorically, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Su Youyi pursed her lips, "This matter has nothing to do with me, in the final analysis, it is for the emperor to suppress Li Ge's old party, I am just the same as Master Tan." The emperor naturally disposes of it according to his own wishes, and he doesn't have to care about me. ”

The emperor said: "If I only deal with the virtuous concubine and not Li Gelao, what do you think?" ”

Su Youyi subconsciously thought that this was the emperor protecting her, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong.

"Does the emperor think that this crime is not enough to completely defeat Li Ge Lao, it is better to let all the evidence point to the virtuous concubine, clear the virtuous concubine first, and cut off Li Ge Lao's power in the harem?"

The emperor shook his head.

"This design not only involves you, but also involves a prince's master, the matter is big, but it has not yet reached the point where you can completely eliminate the virtuous concubine. If Li Ge Lao does not fall, the virtuous concubine will never fall, and Li Ge Lao is the root. ”

Su Youyi nodded, "Then why does the emperor only dispose of the virtuous concubine?" ”

The emperor smiled, "Li Ge is always the root, and the virtuous concubine is the leaf." I move the leaves of the Li Party, they will not jump over the wall in a hurry. But if I touch their roots, it will hurt their lifeline, and there is no guarantee that they will not rise up and resist. At that time, there will be chaos in the DPRK and China, and it will be me who will lose. ”

Su Youyi understood.

Knowing and understanding, she was still sad.

The emperor looked at her, "What's wrong?" I'm not for you, so you're upset? ”

"How can I be so stingy?"

Su Youyi is not stingy, but she never seems to expect the emperor to do anything for her, even if the emperor no longer favors her one day, she probably takes it for granted, and then continues to live her life.

This kind of naturalness always makes the emperor angry and itchy.

She continued: "I just want to be as noble as a virtuous concubine and as a noble person as Jiang Noble, it seems to be the pearl of the family, but in fact it is just a tool of the family. Elder Li Ge was unhappy that Concubine Xian was suppressed, but he was unhappy not because he felt sorry for his daughter, but because he was worried that his power was limited. Compared with them, I envy the Su family and the Sima family more, those two adults really feel sorry for their daughter. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Speaking of the Su family, Su Qing was promoted, and I appointed him as the imperial history of the south, inspected the state capital in the south for me, and severely punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials." This is for your sake, after all, your two families are connected. ”

"Me?"

Su Youyi seemed a little surprised, and said, "Then thank you to the emperor." ”

She thought that even if the emperor was for her, Su Qing shouldn't know about it, maybe she thought it was for Wan Chang.

But he didn't know that when the emperor announced the decree, he had already let the palace people hint at Su Qing, and Su Qing was quite surprised when he found out, but he didn't dare to tell Wan Chang.

He was worried that Wan Chang was jealous of Su Youyi, so he just wrote a letter, saying that when he was not in Beijing, Wan Chang was listening to Su Youyi and taking good care of her.

When the letter was sent to the palace, it was intercepted and checked by the emperor's people, and the emperor knew its contents.

Because of this, he valued Su Qing more and more, and felt that he seemed to be an honest and inflexible person, but he was actually very smart.

So smart that even the delicate feelings between women can be taken care of.

Su Youyi didn't know these details, so she only said: "Although the emperor intends to take care of it, this imperial history of patrolling the south is not good, right?" To punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is necessary to offend people. ”

The emperor was happy, "I just want him to offend people for me, otherwise what will I do with him?" Don't worry, run errands for me, I can't let them be killed. This time, I also found someone to preside over the matter of the virtuous concubine. ”

"Who?"

"Sima Hu."

Su Youyi almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, thinking about it, she knew why the emperor chose him, this Sima Hutian is not afraid of the earth, he is a martial artist's temper, and more importantly, his daughter is always there.

It is also well known that Chun Chang is not on good terms with the virtuous concubine in the palace, and with Sima Hu's pampering daughter, he will definitely not easily let go of any clues in this case.

I'm afraid that Elder Li Ge will be so angry that he will jump to his feet......

Under the emperor's instructions, Sima Hu led all the evidence found to the virtuous concubine.
