Chapter 496 No One Can Stop It

Upon hearing this, the visitor took off the veil on her head, and the dim candlelight illuminated her pretty face.

She raised her face slightly and looked at Xiao Shihang, who was full of affection, and smiled. This smile stunned Xiao Shihang.

"I never ask for anything when I work for you, sir. I just hope you can get what you want. By the way, I got a batch of high-quality cotton from Luocheng a few days ago. It will be delivered to the capital in a few days. Sir, where do you think it would be best to sell this batch of cotton?"

Xiao Shihang was deeply moved by Zhou Xiangrong's words. He was accidentally injured at that time. If Zhou Xiangrong had not appeared in time, he would have died tragically in the wilderness. At that time, she was still living in a temple outside the city. In the process of getting along with her, he was gradually attracted to her and felt that she was completely different from those young ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing.

There was a severe drought in Luo City this year, and cotton merchants in Beijing had long been worried that it would be difficult to get cotton from Luo City this year. Unexpectedly, she actually got it.

"How many?"

Zhou Xiangrong whispered, "Almost all of Luo City's production."

Xiao Shihang was even more shocked, "How did you get it?"

Zhou Xiangrong lowered his eyes and said, "You forgot that I cured the plague in Luocheng and saved the city defender Wei Zhongming from the death penalty. This is what he promised to give me."

Xiao Shihang looked at Zhou Xiangrong more eagerly.

"Cotton is in great demand in Los Angeles right now. Winter is coming soon, and the price of cotton is at its highest. I promise that once I get this batch of cotton, I can sell it at several times the price than before, and you can keep all the profits."

Zhou Xiangrong disagreed, but Xiao Shihang covered her mouth to prevent her from saying no.

"Listen to me."

Zhou Xiangrong pulled his hand away and said, "Then consider it as the money you deposited with me. It won't be too late to come back and get it when you need it."

This statement made Xiao Shihang happy, as it proved that Zhou Xiangrong completely regarded him as her own and that was why she said that.

"good."

After leaving Yuxiang Tower and returning to the carriage, the moment the curtain fell, all the gentleness and kindness on Zhou Xiangrong's face disappeared, leaving only a calculating gleam in his eyes.

"Miss, is Prime Minister Su really going to die?" The carriage started, completely suppressing Xinyue's deliberately low voice.

But Zhou Xiangrong heard it.

"He will definitely die." If Su Yulun didn't die, how could the people following him cause trouble? If they didn't cause trouble, how could the court be in chaos? If there was no chaos, how could they take advantage of the situation and sneak in?

If there is a rebellion in the front hall, in order to appease the restless ministers in the front hall, the current emperor will favor their daughters sent to the palace. If there are none, he will expand the harem.

She had to enter the palace.

No one can stop it!

…

Three days later, Su Yulun woke up.

After Su Ying got the news, she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even after waking up, Su Yulun was extremely weak and had difficulty opening his mouth to speak.

Su Ying took out a silver needle, opened Su Yulun's chest and stabbed it.

Su Yulun slowly felt a strange tingling sensation spreading throughout his body. He thought Su Ying wanted to kill him, but he soon discovered that his spirits seemed to have improved a lot.

"You, you evil girl, want to kill your father!"

When Su Ying heard that Su Yulun could speak, she pulled out the silver needle and handed it to Zhou Qing.

"Kill you? If it weren't for me, you would have reported to the King of Hell by now. You are a prime minister in a high position, and it's no big deal if you were plotted against."

Su Ying's sarcastic words made Su Yulun very angry, but more frightened, "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you feel that you are already a dying man? If it weren't for the medicine I gave you, you would have died long ago."

Of course Su Yulun noticed something strange in his body, but by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

He couldn't move at all, and didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only lie on the bed and be slaughtered.

"You, would you be so kind to save me?" Su Yulun had long realized that Su Ying would not be on the same page with him.

Su Ying lowered her cold eyes and looked at him, "I'm just curious, who has such a skillful method to make you like this without making any sound."

Su Yulun also wants to know!

Now the household affairs of the mansion are managed by the old lady, his biological mother. She still needs to rely on him to enjoy wealth and glory, so the possibility of her doing something to him is almost zero. As for his useless brother, the position of prime minister is not hereditary. After his death, he will not be able to support the Su family with his unpresentable appearance. With him, they are an upper-class family in the capital. Without him, they are nothing, so the possibility of them doing something to him is very small.

"Was I poisoned?"

Su Ying shook her head. "No specific toxins were found, but your internal organs did show obvious signs of decay."

"So what's going on?"

Su Ying sneered, "Perhaps you can ask your beloved daughter."

Su Yulun's pupils shrank slightly.

Su Ying waved her hand, and Zhou Qing brought Su Yuyan up.

To be honest, she is not a patient person. She originally wanted to play the long game and catch the big fish, but something Xiao Jin said last night made her feel that it made a lot of sense.

He said if Su Yulun died, what use would Su Yuyan be? How much could you expect her to know as a chess piece that would be abandoned soon?

She thought this made sense, so she sent a message to Zhou Qing that night, asking her to go to Su Yuyan's room to see if there was anything suspicious. She found that Su Yuyan was still holding a wooden hairpin in her hand when she slept.

Su Yuyan was born into a noble family and had seen all kinds of good things, so how could she care so much about a worthless hairpin? There was only one possibility, that this thing was given to her by someone she cared about particularly.

So when she arrived today, Su Ying asked Zhou Qing to take Su Yuyan down.

Su Yuyan was brought to Su Ying with a furious look on her face, "Queen, please don't go too far! It would have been fine if you blocked my father's yard with the intention of murdering him, but you actually hurt innocent people. What did we do wrong to make the Queen treat us like this!"

Su Ying took out the wooden hairpin from her body and played with it wantonly. Su Yuyan was shocked when she saw the hairpin. She struggled to snatch it but was held tightly by the imperial guards.

"Su Ying, you bitch, what on earth do you want to do? Give my things back to me!"

Su Ying looked at the jade flower on the hairpin and frowned slightly. "Such a fine carving, it's obvious that it was made by a craftsman. You can't believe that this was carved by someone personally for you, right?"

"Su Ying, what are you going to do?"

Su Ying raised her eyes, her eyes were filled with coldness, "Who gave this to you?"

Su Yuyan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Xiao Shihang?"

Su Yuyan's pupils suddenly shrank and she looked up at her in shock.
