Chapter 511 Restaurant Opening

Su Yue said angrily, "Who is still unwilling to give up and wants to burn down the restaurant?"

If the restaurant was set on fire at noon when it was full of customers, the two men could not bear to think about the scene and how many people would die, including prominent figures in the capital.

Murong Li took the hanging basket and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid it's King Huai'an."

He was the only one who didn't care about these ministers. The Huai'an Palace had been busy for decades and already had his own team. He didn't care about these ministers who might prevent him from taking the throne in the future.

If he sets fire to their restaurant today, firstly, many officials will be burned to death, secondly, it will deal him a heavy blow, and thirdly, with so many ministers dead, the emperor will definitely blame him. Not to mention being the crown prince, he will probably be thrown into prison.

It really kills three birds with one stone.

What a vicious plan.

Murong Li sneered repeatedly, but unfortunately, no matter how thorough and vicious the plan was, it would still be aborted.

The two men found a few more pots of green plants, and then searched around in each private room. Sure enough, they found several more pots of green plants from various directions.

The two were both angry and relieved.

Then the two of them went to the third floor and found many pots there as well, and even found many pots on the fourth and fifth floors.

I'm really afraid that the fire won't kill anyone, so I prepared so much.

The two were afraid that something might be missed, so they went from the first floor to the fifth floor and checked carefully again.

If they want to give them a surprise, then they will also give the person behind them a surprise, or even a scare.

At this moment in Prince Huai'an's mansion, Prince Huai'an had a sinister smile on his face. Today, he wanted to watch a big show and see how Murong Li would escape this time.

This time he must be sent to hell and never be able to rise again.

He likes to strike at the weakest part of his opponent's body, giving him no chance to fight back.

If he succeeds this time, Murong Li will never be able to sit in that position again.

Yesterday, the secret agents around the emperor spread the news that the emperor was not only going to appoint a crown prince, but was also going to abdicate.

Murong Li still wanted to sit in that position, that position could only belong to him.

Anyone who dares to block his way or take his place will be sent to hell.

He was just trying to find a way to push Murong Li into hell when the invitation to his restaurant's opening was delivered to him.

It must be that God was helping him, as he planned the drama of burning down the restaurant.

"Your Majesty, it's almost noon now, aren't you going?"

When King Huai'an's confidant saw that he had not left the house for a long time, he came to ask him.

King Huai'an glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? When it's my turn to go, I will be there. Why go now?"

The real show hasn't started yet, is he going to suffer?

Given his status, Murong Li would definitely place him on the top floor. Could he possibly jump down from the building in public?

He didn't want to reveal his martial arts skills too early.

As planned, the operation was to take place at noon, but he had just arrived late at that time and was not yet a suspect.

The ministers would not leave their posts until noon, so they would definitely go to support Murong Li, and the banquet would start at noon, which was just the right time.

After hearing what King Huai'an said, the confidant understood what he meant and felt relieved.

As King Huai'an's confidants, they don't want anything to happen to him. When his great cause is accomplished, they will all be considered as those who have served him well. At that time, they will all be promoted to higher positions and will no longer have to live like rats in the gutter, afraid of the light.

After Murong Li and Su Yue checked again, they found some abnormalities in the guest rooms on each floor. They had to admire the means of the person behind the scenes. Fires broke out inside and outside the restaurant at the same time. Even if a god came, he could not put out the fire in a short time.

After the two finished the inspection, they welcomed the first guest, who turned out to be the old marquis, accompanied by the old lady, the eldest lady and Luo Meiting.

The old marquis looked at the unique restaurant, praised it a lot, and then went upstairs to have tea.

The eldest lady and several female relatives exchanged a few words with Su Yue and then went to the private room prepared for them.

The second guest was an unexpected person. It was the old Duke of the Duke's Mansion. He also came with his family.

Chen Fanghua also came. When he saw Murong Li, his eyes never moved away, full of obsession and jealousy.

Murong Li didn't even give her a glance and asked Yueying to take them upstairs.

The old Duke and the old Marquis were old acquaintances. Although they didn't have much in common, they were still familiar with each other. He went up to the fifth floor with a smile and went to have tea and chat with the old Marquis.

Su Yue glanced at Murong Li and said with a half-smile, "Did you see the look in Chen Fanghua's eyes just now? She's still infatuated with you."

Today, Murong Li was wearing a black python robe and a black jade crown on his head. Combined with his cool temperament, he looked extremely noble and handsome.

Any woman who sees such a man, especially the future king of a country, would not be tempted.

Murong Li glanced at her and said, "If Yue'er doesn't like it, just dig out her eyes."

Su Yue laughed and said, "Prince Li is truly ruthless. It would be a shame to gouge out the eyes of such a beautiful woman. Let's keep her. She can still be of use."

Murong Li looked at Su Yue dimly: "Yuer, do you have any good ideas?"

"No, a guest has arrived."

Su Yue nodded at the person who came.

The people who came to Su Yue's house were unexpected. They were actually the family of the eldest lady's mother, Su Yue's eldest uncle Xu Zheng and his family.

When the Su family was confiscated and exiled, the Xu family broke off relations with the eldest lady for fear of being implicated.

This time, the invitation from Prince Li's Mansion was not sent to Xu's Mansion. Unexpectedly, they still came. They are so shameless.

The Xu family was not a prominent family. Only Su Yue's maternal grandfather had been an assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel when he was alive. After his death, only Xu Zheng entered the court and became the deputy of a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Literature.

The other members of the Xu family are all unruly.

Xu Liang, the second master of the Xu family, is a bastard and is of no use. He just lives a life of idleness in the Xu mansion.

Mr. Xu Hao, the third master of the Xu clan, passed the imperial examination for the title of scholar but failed to pass the imperial examination for the title of jinshi. He had great ambitions but no real talent. Now he was idle at home preparing for the big exam.

Since Murong Li and the Su family were pardoned and recalled to Beijing, the Xu family regretted it deeply and wanted to get along with the eldest lady several times. However, thinking of the Xu family's resolute attitude at the time, and Xu Zheng's repeated attempts to please Master Su but Master Su ignored him, Xu Zheng had to give up the idea and look for an opportunity to act.

In short, the Xu family has to hold on to Murong Li, this big tree. If they hold on to it, the Xu family's prosperity is just around the corner.

Isn’t the opening of Su Yue’s restaurant a good opportunity?

Although the Xu family did not receive an invitation, as an official of the imperial court and Su Yue's uncle, there was nothing wrong with him going to congratulate them.

Besides, that was a restaurant, a place open for business. Could Su Yue and the others really refuse customers from coming in to eat?
