Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 236: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 53

Chen Anyu finally reached an agreement with Nangong Xi that their relationship would be kept secret for the time being and they would discuss it when the time was right.

By the time he finally returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was almost afternoon.

In the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, ever since Su Ziyu knew that Li Junze would often be a thief on the roof, he rarely asked servants like Luzhu to keep watch at night, for fear that someone would run into him and catch him as a thief.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered in the end.

After daybreak, Su Zi wanted Lu Zhu to secretly investigate who came out of the yard in the middle of the night. However, he never expected that the person who discovered his affair with Li Junze was Chen Anyu.

When Chen Anyu came back to apologize, they looked at each other with a little discomfort. Su Ziyu claimed to be the elder brother after all, and he had a lot of experience, so he was thick-skinned enough to keep calm.

Chen Anyu was just lacking in skills, and he got drunk last night and got involved with Nangong Xi without knowing what was going on. He felt ashamed of himself and didn't know how to face his brother.

Chen Anyu lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye, "Brother, last night I..."

Listening to his intermittent explanation, Su Ziyu wanted to avoid frightening the child, so he could only soothe him gently, "Okay, I didn't intend to blame you.

But he has a special identity, so I have to be careful. I also ask you to keep it a secret for me."

Seeing that his brother did not blame him but comforted him, Chen Anyu felt mixed emotions and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, brother. I will keep my mouth shut."

"Hey, where's the jade pendant on your neck?"

Su Ziyu noticed with his sharp eyes that the young man had taken off the jade pendant that he had worn around his neck for many years and was said to be an heirloom from his ancestors, and asked curiously.

Chen Anyu subconsciously touched his chest, but it was empty, just like his heart. He just lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "Give...give it away."

Su Zi wanted to raise an eyebrow, a trace of curiosity flashed across her mind, but seeing that he didn't want to say more, she immediately guessed that he gave it to someone he liked, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them had afternoon tea together, and the matter was just lightly brushed aside.

A few days later, the old emperor suddenly coughed up blood in the court. After examining him, the imperial physician said it was witchcraft.

The old emperor was furious, and soon news that shocked the court and the country came out: the crown prince was deposed and detained in the palace, Pei Qingcheng was thrown into prison, and the sixth prince Li Yunyi was asked to investigate the case.

No civil or military official dared to dissuade them. One had to know that the entire Pei family was executed because they were involved in witchcraft. They didn't expect that after a few years, this evil magic would make a comeback.

When Su Ziyu heard the news, he was so shocked that he could not sit still. He was careless. He originally thought that as long as he did not let Li Junze lose on the battlefield, he could escape the fate of being deposed.

Who knew there would be this thing called witchcraft? The old emperor now wants to completely suppress the princelings headed by Li Junze!

After the court session, Su's father returned home and almost immediately went to talk to Su Ziyu, "Yu'er, I don't care how you were on good terms with the Second Prince before, but now His Majesty is determined to deal with the Second Prince, you can't get involved in this mess again."

Su Ziyu saw that his father's tone was firm, which didn't sound like a discussion but more like a notification. He didn't want to anger the other party and cause a conflict, so he had to nod in response.

"Father, I know what to do about this matter. It's just that the Pei family has suffered a disaster, and Pei Xijun is an innocent girl. We should find a chance to let Mother take her back to the mansion!"

Seeing that he had a calm attitude, Su's father was unsure of his thoughts for a moment, but when he thought about the fact that the child had grown up in a place where he could not see for the past two years, he still felt a little proud.

"You little brat, do you need to tell me that? Your mother has already sent someone to the palace to pass on the message. She will send someone to bring you back to the palace as soon as the Queen Mother agrees. As for you...you must not be reckless in anything. If you are unsure, consult me ​​and your mother."

Su's father came and went in a hurry, but for some reason, he did not restrict his stay and even delegated some power to him.

After Pei Xijun was brought back home, Su Ziyu and his mother went to the palace together. Under the pretext of visiting the empress dowager, they sent a lot of precious medicinal materials to the old emperor.

Su Ziyu went to see the old emperor alone. He didn't know if the old emperor had drunk too many tonics, but his complexion was obviously much better than before he was poisoned, and there was no sign of weakness at all.

Su Ziyu: "System, I now seriously suspect that the old emperor is pretending to be poisoned in order to punish Li Junze!"

The system suddenly spoke: [Host, you underestimated how much the old emperor cares about his health. ]

Seeing that he had not guessed correctly, Su Ziyu did not get discouraged, but his disgust for the old emperor increased even more. He said a few words of flattery to the old emperor and then offered to leave.

When he left, he didn't know if it was because he was too sensitive, but he always felt that the old emperor's eyes were too sticky when he looked at him, and he felt like he was being violated by a male gaze.

Since he apparently had no connection with the Second Prince's party and others, the old emperor's heavy blow did not affect him, and even if the Sixth Prince wanted to find fault, it would be of no avail.

Li Junze was afraid that he would worry, so he sent him a secret letter, saying that everything was fine at the moment and that he had evidence to exonerate himself, but he wanted the poisonous insect incident to lead to the real culprit behind his mother's death.

Su Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter. He felt much more relaxed when attending the banquet as usual. Wen Ling, who he thought they would never meet again, suddenly appeared in front of him. "Prince Su, you'd better not appear in front of His Majesty in the near future."

Su Ziyu frowned, "What do you mean?!"

Wen Ling was speechless. He didn't know how to explain that when he was serving the old emperor, the other party suddenly called out Su Ziyu's name.

Although it was a very slight sound, he still heard it. Afterwards, the emperor tried to question him indirectly, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb to fool the emperor.

He knew that the old emperor was stupid, but he didn't expect that he was so cruel that he even coveted his nominal nephew.

Prince Su is a good man. He doesn't want the other party to repeat the same mistakes and experience the same painful things as himself, but there are some things he can only say to himself.

Su Zi looked at his departing figure with a frown on his face, and a guess suddenly occurred to him, "System, is the old emperor in heat and attracted to me?"

The system also had a very bad impression of the old emperor. [Although I don't want to admit it, you guessed it right this time, host.]

Su Ziyu: "Thank you, I am disgusted by this old pervert. System, you are so powerful, can you find some evidence against him?"

The system searched and quickly found the important content, [Host, he is not a real dragon. ]

Su Ziyu was shocked. This statement contained too much information. Was it what he thought it meant?

He was just thinking about how to verify the old emperor's identity when Li Junze suddenly made a move.

He originally planned to use the poisonous insect to lure out the murderer behind the scenes, but he learned from Wenling that the old emperor had dirty thoughts about Su Ziyu, and Li Junze could not bear it for a single day.

Less than five days after the Sixth Prince started investigating the case, the old emperor vomited blood again and fell into a coma.

Li Junze was still detained in the mansion, so it was obvious that he could not be the murderer, and the suspicion was thus cleared.

The Sixth Prince Li Yunyi still didn't want to let the person go, but the next day in the court, Li Junze directly produced evidence to clear himself in public, and then pointed out that Li Yunyi and the queen conspired to murder the emperor.

There was a sudden and shocking reversal in the court!

Li Junze not only presented all the evidence in the court and asked all the civil and military officials to serve as witnesses, he also mobilized the defense of the imperial palace and arrested the Sixth Prince and his men in public.
