Chapter 233: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 50
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about!" Su Ziyu interrupted her hastily and stepped forward. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Abbot Liaowu has re-predicted your fate and said that you are destined to live a long life."
At this point, he could see that Xin He had already made up his mind to die, and was just hanging on for revenge. Not to mention that the murderer had not been caught yet, even if he was caught, he didn't know whether he should tell anyone.
As he approached, a faint fragrance entered Xin He's nose, and Xin He couldn't help but get excited, "Brother, the fragrance on you... cough... cough cough!"
An itchy feeling in her throat made her cough continuously.
Qingluo quickly handed her a handkerchief and smoothed her back, while Su Ziyu poured a glass of water from the table, hoping to moisten her throat.
When he turned around with the cup in hand, Xin He had already asked Qing Luo to hide the bloody handkerchief and repeated, "Brother, I smelled the same scent on the murderer."
She was a woman who lived in seclusion, so she was naturally sensitive to spices. When they were suddenly attacked that day and Sui Er was protecting her while she was escaping, she had smelled this scent on the man in black.
Can't go wrong.
Su Ziyu blinked. Normally, he didn't like incense, so his clothes never had any smell. When he heard Xin He say that, he raised his hand and smelled the smell of his sleeves.
After a few seconds, he suddenly looked up and said, "This is Linxiantai's special mugwort incense."
At that time, Li Junze was surrounded by a group of Taoist priests who were fumigating him with mugwort to drive away evil spirits. Later, he was close to Li Junze, so it was estimated that he was infected at that time.
Xin He had heard of Linxiantai, a famous Taoist temple in the capital. However, she couldn't understand why Linxiantai attacked her and caused A Sui to die in order to protect her.
Su Zi wanted to know more and think more clearly.
It seems that in addition to the Sixth Prince, another person who assassinated Xin He was the old emperor.
After returning home near dusk, he ordered Luzhu to fetch water for washing. When he was undressing, he found that his sachet was missing. He searched all over his body but couldn't find it. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Su Ziyu soaked in the water, feeling that he had spent the day too exhausted and his brain was not enough. "System, could my sachet have fallen into the secret passage?"
System: [Host, you just realized now that you are a little slow. ]
Su Zi's desire is numb.
The sachet was a small thing that Li Junze had placed on the bedside as an apology when he stole my property while drunk. I would always sniff it whenever I missed him, but I didn't expect it to fall into the secret passage.
If the emperor finds out, the consequences will be disastrous.
Su Zi wanted to sink underwater, held his breath for nearly a minute, then slowly floated up, quickly finished his bath, and went to the study to write a secret letter to Li Junze.
When Li Junze received the secret letter, he was knocking on Xi Su in the study. He threw the note with his handwriting on it at him and asked, "Why?"
There are less than ten people in the world who can imitate his handwriting so vividly, but among these ten people, only one has noticed the relationship between him and Su Ziyu.
That was his most trusted aide, Xi Su.
He couldn't understand why Xi Su would collude with others to do such a treacherous thing, and he wanted to hear an explanation.
Xi Su, sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at the note casually and pretended to be confused: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
He did use some tricks to expose the relationship between the prince and Su Ziyu, and thereby force the prince to turn against Su Ziyu for the throne, but unfortunately he failed.
But it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Anyway, he has won over a lot of people in the past two years. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Junze wants to sit in that position, he will have to use his network of connections.
Seeing that he did not repent, Li Junze raised a mocking smile and said, "Xi Su, who gave you the courage to plot against me?"
Li Junze's voice was not loud and he didn't sound like he had any special emotions, but it was like thunder striking Xi Su's heart, making him shudder.
He clenched his palms and calmed himself down, "Your Highness, you can't accuse me of a crime just because I can imitate your handwriting!"
Li Junze closed his eyes, he didn't expect that in just two or three years Xi Su would become so arrogant that he even dared to act dumb in front of him, and he might even do something behind his back.
There are still some things that need him right now, so he can't kill anyone for the time being. Li Junze sneered, "Go out and kneel. I don't want to see you now."
After saying that, Li Junze called people in, dragged Xi Su out, forced him to kneel in the yard, and then ordered other staff to come and discuss the matter.
In late autumn, the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large. Xi Su's leg had been broken before. He knelt on the ground, shaky, and desperately gritted his teeth to hold on.
In fact, compared to the physical pain, what was most heartbreaking was that he was seen in such a miserable state by the passing staff, as if his face was being torn off and trampled upon.
When the staff passing by saw Xi Su kneeling in the courtyard, they were horrified and secretly wondered what he had done to make the prince so angry.
Xi Su had won over a lot of people in the past two years. When someone entered the room, they couldn't help but plead for Xi Su. However, Li Junze ignored them all and waited until the meeting was over before he asked someone to carry Xi Su, who had fainted in the yard, back home.
He turned to ask his personal eunuch Yuan Bao, "Did you take note of those who begged for mercy just now?"
Yuanbao had long disliked Xi Su, the ungrateful bastard, and used the prince's things to win over his heart.
His Highness finally reacted when he met him. He quickly handed over the list, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I've written them all down. Not a single one has been left out."
Li Junze took a quick look and found that most of them were there, which was about the same as he expected. He ordered Yuanbao to keep an eye on the news in the palace during this period of time, and then asked the secret guards to secretly monitor Xi Su's every move.
In the next few days, the old emperor used his old tricks again and used the method of praising Li Junze to his detriment, deliberately stirring up the dissatisfaction of the Sixth Prince and trying to make the two confront each other again.
I don't know if the Sixth Prince has learned his lesson or is planning some big move. Although he still dislikes Li Junze, he has not taken any action for the time being.
Ever since Su Ziyu lost the sachet and learned that Linxiantai was involved in the attack, he has been feeling uneasy and has attended fewer banquets.
What surprised him a little was that Wenling, whom he had only heard of from others before, would now frequently appear at various banquets.
Wenling came here with someone he works with. The other person had previously complained that Wenling looked down on others, but now he takes Wenling everywhere to greet people, as if calling Wenling here proves his face.
The man brought Wen Ling towards Su Ziyu, "Prince Su, this is Wen Ling, the third scholar."
Wenling wore a plain green robe today, standing gracefully in the sunshine in the courtyard, with a fiery brow, red lips and white teeth, and a proud character.
I just want someone to bully him severely.
Su Ziyu blinked his eyes, as if he understood why the old emperor would take the risk to visit this third place winner.
