Chapter 5 Kill her!
The next day, Su Youning sat on the sofa, leaning against the table with one hand on his chin, and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Recalling Ji Xiang's reply just now, Su Youning couldn't help but sigh after learning the reason behind the tragedy of the Zhang family. It was unimaginable that the reputation of the Beihou God of War was all over the capital, but in the end he became a treacherous minister with great achievements.
Su's father's crime of treason three years later was probably also a victim of the disputes in the court.
Maybe someone’s power has been moved!
Maybe you offended someone you shouldn’t have offended!
But no matter who this person is, Su Youning will definitely find him.
Now she gradually understands why Su Zhixing has repeatedly blocked her marriage to Shen Moli. The Gongwei Division has the ability to patrol and arrest all civil and military officials.
I have been resenting it for a long time, and since Dongchang was established twelve years ago, I have even more momentum to replace the Guards Department.
The seemingly powerful Archguard Division has long been under attack from both sides.
Su Zhixing was an official, and he had the responsibility of admonishing him, but he could not mention the crime of treason.
The reason behind the unjust, false and wrongful convictions was probably the dispute between Gongwei Si and Dongchang, or the result of the prince's dispute in the past three years.
The living king of hell that Ji Xiang mentioned was the Third Highness Chu Yu whom he met that day.
In the previous life, she and Ji married Shen Moli a year later. Two years later, the former emperor died and the prince ascended the throne. The new emperor was young. King Chu Xiang was far away at the border and could not regent. The empress dowager, who is also the current empress, was in charge of the court.
"Little girl, are you scared?"
Su Youning sighed secretly, blaming her for all her thoughts on Shen Moli back then, and she only knew this about the situation in the court.
Ruyi couldn't hide her words and spoke anxiously.
"Why?"
Su Youning, who had never seen this scene before, subconsciously shouted.
Su Youning thought that Su's absence from the trip all night might be related to what she heard outside the study door the day before yesterday.
"Maybe there is something going on in the court, please don't worry."
Jixiang came in with snacks and sighed when he saw Su Youning.
Sudden!
"Don't be afraid. If he is as ruthless as the rumors say, as long as we don't encounter him again, he will not be able to find us."
"My slave, I don't want you to meet the living King of Hell again. I heard that corpses are carried out of his house every day. It was a fluke that you escaped last time."
Qin Su stayed up all night, with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, pacing back and forth in the room holding the handkerchief.
Su Youning felt chills all over, and the fear of the Su family being destroyed arose spontaneously.
Early the next morning.
Su Youning took Qin Su's hand, helped her sit down, and comforted her softly.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, echoing in the dark and silent long street.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the main courtyard of Su Mansion.
"Go find my mother quickly."
Ji Xiang nodded and left.
It was not until noon that the servant who had been sent out hurried back. He only said that there was no news of Long Yan's anger in the palace, but no one knew what happened to Mr. Su in the palace now.
During dinner, Su's father did not return to the house. Su Youning and Qin Su finished their dinner and chatted with her for a while before going back to the wing to rest.
Su Youning picked up the tea leaves and took a sip.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, Su Youning's heart beat faster, and she subconsciously turned around to get farther away from the sound of horse hooves.
"Do you think the Living King of Hell will hold a grudge? He knows that you are Mr. Su's daughter, just in case."
Seeing Ji Xiang pouting, Su Youning smiled.
"Miss, Mrs. Chunchan's sister is here. She said that the master has not returned all night. Please come over."
After calming down, Su Youning ordered Ji Xiang.
"Jixiang, pick a reliable person to check in front of the palace gate, and don't make any noise."
But at least one thing is certain, Su Zhixing's life in the palace is safe at this moment.
Su Youning put down the tea cup and reached out to poke Ji Xiang's forehead.
Su Youning turned around, frowned and shook his head.
She is the daughter of the Su family, and she is married to the commander of the Archguard Division. It is not unreasonable that someone wants to get rid of the Su family to help get rid of the Archguard Division.
Su Youning patiently tried to persuade Qin Su to eat to no avail, so she had no choice but to persuade him.
"Miss, why have you been sighing these past two days? Are you afraid of Mr. Zhang's family affairs?"
When Jixiang said this, he came closer to Su Youning and whispered.
At night, the breeze blows, bringing with it a bit of the heat of the day.
Ji Xiang put the snacks on the low table and brewed a new pot of tea.
Su Youning changed into a pink dress that she didn't often wear, and put on a white cloak. She was afraid of being too ostentatious, so she didn't even bring good fortune and good luck out of the house.
"Miss, we will still have to take a carriage when leaving the house in the future."
Ji Xiang Ruyi quickly helped Su Youning change and freshen up.
Su Zhixing, as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, would never ignore Zhang Feng's extermination of his family, and would definitely give advice at the meeting.
"I just feel that things in the world are unpredictable."
"What's wrong?"
"You Ning, your father didn't come home all night. He has never been like this."
Su Youning knew that what Qin Su said was true, but she couldn't sleep well without this trip.
In her last life, after Su Zhixing blocked her marriage to Shen Moli, she fell seriously ill, and she didn't know what happened during that period.
"It doesn't matter. Miss Zhao of the Zhao family and I are close friends. Who dares to say anything when we go to visit friends?"
All day long, everyone in the Su family was on tenterhooks, fearing that something might happen to the head of the family.
Su Youning knew what happened to him. The son of Concubine Yu, the first noble son after the emperor ascended the throne, should have had the highest honor.
Su Youning thought carefully about what happened in Kyoto later.
As soon as Su Youning woke up, she saw Ji Xiang and Ruyi looking nervous.
Su Youning came over and looked at Qin Su's appearance, feeling sour in her heart.
Bodies are carried out of the house every day
Su Youning couldn't help but feel cold when she thought of this. No wonder she angered him when she mentioned the safety of the people.
A black shadow fell from the roof above the alley and landed heavily in front of Su Youning.
"mother."
Qin Su felt a little relieved after hearing this, and his worry about the master defeated his reason.
Dongchang has been doing a lot of things in Beijing recently. The long street has long lost the bustle of the past. The doors of the shops on both sides are closed, and only the lanterns on the corridors give off dim light.
"You can't go. Be careful of people who want to take advantage of this matter. There can be no more changes in the Su Mansion."
"Mom, you look so haggard. I'm afraid Dad will be sad when he comes back. You need some soup and have a good rest first. I'm here."
In the silence of the night, this sound was truly terrifying. Su Youning's hands trembled slightly, she grabbed her cloak, subconsciously looked both ways, and quickly hid in an alley on the right.
"Yes, I just said that I am going to visit a friend. You must be careful and go back quickly."
Qin Su looked panicked and took Su Youning's hand.
After leaving the house, Su Youning hurried towards Zhao's house.
"Mr. Zhao Lian, who went with my father, has returned to his residence. Please have a good meal. My daughter will go to Zhao's residence at night to ask about the situation."
Until nightfall, Su Zhi had not yet returned home.
Qin Su heard the sound and came over quickly, grabbing Su Youning's hand.
Unfortunately, she was killed when she was young, and Concubine Yu died and Chu Yu became disabled. After Chu Yu reached the age of dancing as an elephant, the emperor gave her the title of King Yu and the residence of King Yu.
Qin Su refused and couldn't bear Su Youning's persuasion, so he drank some ginseng soup and rested on the soft bed.
Su Youning went alone, but she couldn't help being afraid. She put on the hood on her cloak, lowered her head against the roadside and quickened her pace.
Before the word ah was spoken, the black shadow split into two, and one of them quickly rushed up and covered Su Youning's mouth with one hand, pinched her neck with the other, and pressed her against the wall in the alley.
Su Youning turned pale with fright, and struggled in horror.
Another dark figure seemed to fall to the ground and spoke coldly and cruelly.
"Zelan, kill her."
