No matter what Xuanyuan Yu said, it was no use; Su Fei still insisted on her own ideas.

"It must be Su Xuening! The biggest beneficiaries right now are Su Xuening and Xuanyuan Zhan. With your second uncle in trouble, Su Xuening is safe. Also, Xuanyuan Zhan took a sword for your father, and your father treats him like a treasure now, even bringing him to Chengqian Palace. If it wasn't them who plotted against your second uncle, who else could it be!"

Su Xuening's wicked plan was brilliant, killing two birds with one stone. She had underestimated her before!

Xuanyuan Yu did not believe that the matter was related to Su Xuening, nor did he want to argue with Su Fei any further: "It's pointless to say more. We have no evidence now and cannot prove that those assassins have nothing to do with Second Uncle."

Consort Su scoffed disdainfully: "They have no evidence either, only the Black Snake Society leader as a witness. If you find a way to get rid of him for me, they will have no evidence left."

Xuan Yuan Yu had already thought of this: "We've tried it. The Dali Temple's secret prison is watertight; our people can't get in at all."

Not only their people, but anyone other than those from the Three Departments could not infiltrate the Dali Temple's secret prison. Even the food and drink of those in the secret prison were strictly checked, so there was no chance to poison them.

Consort Su narrowed her eyes menacingly: "Think of another way. We absolutely cannot let that Black Serpent Society leader live. I will go and beg your father again!"

Before Xuan Yuan Yu could speak, Consort Su hurriedly went to Chengqian Palace.

Xuanyuan Yu frowned as he watched Su Fei's retreating figure.

The Emperor's attitude is unclear right now, and perhaps the Empress Dowager can influence his decision.

As for Shao Kun... he could give it a try, but the palace is heavily guarded, so he might not succeed.

Consort Su went to Chengqian Palace to see Xuanyuan Peng, but she was stopped by the Imperial Guards before she could even enter the palace gate.

"Your Highness Consort Su, His Majesty has decreed that His Highness the Holy Prince is recuperating in Chengqian Palace, and no one may enter Chengqian Palace without His Majesty's decree."

Seeing how worried Xuan Yuanpeng was about Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Fei was instantly consumed by a nameless jealousy: "Go and inform the Empress that I request to see the Emperor."

The Imperial Guards exchanged glances, not daring to truly ignore her.

An Imperial Guard entered Chengqian Palace and soon came out with Zong Jiu.

"Your Highness Consort Su." Zong Jiu bowed to Consort Su before saying, "His Majesty is resting. Your Highness, please return."

Su Fei simply couldn't believe that Xuan Yuanpeng had gone to sleep so early, and immediately tried to rush in.

Zong Jiu quickly stopped the person, his voice cold and hard: "Your Majesty has just been released from confinement, you should not be so reckless. If you anger the Emperor, it would not be worth being confined again."

With just one sentence, Zong Jiu had Su Fei under his control. Su Fei immediately dared not force her way in again. She had just been released from confinement, and if she were to be locked up again, there would truly be no way to save Su Renyi.

Having no other choice, Consort Su could only kneel down and shout, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to see me! I implore Your Majesty to grant me an audience!"

"Your Majesty, I have a grievance to appeal. Marquis Yong'an has been wronged. He would never hire someone to assassinate Your Majesty and the Holy Prince. I beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"

Seeing Consort Su kneeling and shouting, Zong Jiu had no choice but to go back and report to Xuan Yuanpeng: "Your Majesty, Consort Su is kneeling outside Chengqian Palace, requesting an audience with Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Peng remained unmoved and continued reviewing his memorials: "Since she likes kneeling so much, then let her kneel properly, just ignore her!"

"Yes." Since Xuan Yuanpeng had said so, Zong Jiu naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

Su Fei was kneeling there, and Xuan Yuanpeng really didn't care about her. No matter what she shouted or yelled outside, Xuan Yuanpeng ignored her!

Consort Su knelt for the entire night. She still had the strength to shout during the first half of the night, but by the second half, she was too tired to shout anymore. Moreover, she knew that it would be useless to shout, so she stopped.

However, she remained kneeling; if she wanted to see the Emperor, she had no choice but to kneel like this.

When Xuanyuan Peng went to court in the morning, he saw Consort Su kneeling outside Chengqian Palace.

After kneeling all night, Consort Su's face was slightly pale. When she saw Xuan Yuanpeng come out, she immediately seemed to perk up and shouted, "Your Majesty, Marquis Yong'an has been wronged. Someone stole his jade pendant and deliberately framed him. I beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"

Xuanyuan Peng walked up to her and looked at her coldly: "Whether he was wronged or not, the Three Judicial Offices will find out!"

"emperor……"

Consort Su wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xuan Yuanpeng: "The matter of Su Renyi will be resolved tomorrow. Instead of kneeling here, you should find evidence. If you can prove that he was framed, I will spare his life."

After Xuanyuan Peng finished speaking, he took Zong Jiu to court.

Su Fei looked at Xuan Yuanpeng's heartless back and felt utterly desperate.

Since it was Su Xuening who set this up, what kind of evidence would she leave for them?

Where is she supposed to find evidence to prove Su Renyi's innocence?

Consort Su had been kneeling all night, and by now she was really too weak to kneel any longer. Moreover, she knew that kneeling here was useless, as the Emperor showed her no mercy.

Logically, with the military seal of the Su family army, the emperor should at least give them some face. Is he really determined to deal with Su Renyi this time? Does he completely disregard the Su family army?

It felt as if the military tally of the Su family army had lost its power, and Su Fei felt more panicked than ever before.

No!

The Emperor could not possibly disregard the Su family army. After all, he had relied on his elder brother's Su family army to ascend the throne. The Emperor would not abandon the Su family army, so he had the idea of ​​personally taking command of the Su family army.

Hmph, Your Majesty is truly naive. If anyone could command the Su Family Army, it wouldn't be called the "Su Family Army"!

Consort Su stopped kneeling and was helped back to Huayang Palace by Zishu.

The Holy King's Palace.

Su Xuening went to see Bai Shi early in the morning, intending to go to the palace to visit Xuan Yuanzhan.

Knowing that Xuan Yuanzhan's injuries were not life-threatening and that he was safe in the palace, Bai Shi didn't bother to go to the palace to see him. She only allowed Ye Yu and the others to accompany Su Xuening into the palace.

When Su Xuening arrived at Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Guards at the gate did not dare to stop her.

The Emperor has decreed that, apart from the Holy Princess Dowager and the Holy Princess, no one else may freely enter or leave Chengqian Palace.

Su Xuening went directly to the side hall. When she arrived, Hang Yuqing was watching Xuan Yuanzhan drink his medicine.

"Your Highness." Hang Yuqing quickly bowed to Su Xuening.

Upon seeing Su Xuening arrive, Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes lit up instantly. He immediately lost his desire to take his medicine and shoved the medicine bowl into Hang Yuqing's hands. He leaned back on the large pillow and looked at her listlessly, saying, "The medicine is too bitter, I can't drink it."

Hang Yuqing held the medicine bowl, speechless as she looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, who had suddenly become coquettish.

Wasn't the Holy King drinking it quite happily just now? He's already downed more than half a bowl, but as soon as the Holy Queen arrived, the medicine became so bitter that he couldn't drink a single drop anymore.

Su Xuening knew exactly what he was thinking. She took the medicine bowl from Hang Yuqing's hand and said, "Give it to me. Head Physician Hang, go and get busy."

"Your subject takes his leave." Hang Yuqing, not wanting to be an eyesore, bowed and withdrew.

Su Xuening took the medicine bowl, sat down by the bed, and scooped up a spoonful of medicine to feed Xuan Yuanzhan.

Xuanyuan Zhan obediently took a sip, then said with a wronged expression, "Why didn't you come to see me yesterday?"
