Chapter 283 The Commander Doesn’t Trust Me
Inside the carriage.
Yu Shengsheng remained silent, turned her face away, and looked outside the car through the curtain that was fluttering from time to time.
Fu Qingyin looked at her profile: "What are you doing?"
Yu Shengsheng was already feeling upset, and now when she heard his question, she couldn't help but get angry.
"I'm making a fuss? When did I make a fuss?"
"Now."
Yu Shengsheng laughed angrily: "The commander's words are too overbearing. I didn't cry, and I didn't say anything. Why..."
Fu Qingyin interrupted her: "What are you arguing about?"
Yu Shengsheng choked and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it. Commander, why did you identify Kong Tu as the thief's leader in front of the emperor?"
Fu Qingyin's face turned slightly cold, and his tone was also a bit colder: "Are you talking about Kong Dezhao?"
Yu Shengsheng laughed angrily: "Commander, I was talking about Kong Rabbit, Kong Rabbit."
She turned her face away angrily, her cheeks puffed up.
Fu Qingyin, for some unknown reason, stretched out a finger and poked her face.
Yu Shengsheng glared back at him. He withdrew his hand and cleared his throat: "Kong Tu's suspicion has not been cleared."
"You said there were no dark patterns on his robes. This reason is too weak."
"If he were in the house and found someone attacking him, what would he do if he changed his clothes?"
"Besides, it was dark, and if the angle was different and you couldn't see clearly, what would you do?"
Yu Shengsheng was stunned. She had never thought about this.
"But it is a fact that he was caught at the alley entrance, and it is a fact that he was hit by the Sky Needle. Even if he couldn't explain these two points, it is also a fact."
Yu Shengsheng frowned: "But, in that house..."
Fu Qingyin's eyebrows turned cold: "You have never been to Nanshun, so you don't know the situation in Nanshun. Have you heard that the King of Nanshun often eats the hearts and livers of living people in order to maintain his longevity?"
Yu Shengsheng's throat rolled slightly: "I've heard of it."
"That's not just a rumor," Fu Qingyin said in a calm tone.
Yu Shengsheng's breathing became slightly choked, and she felt a chill in her heart - was it actually true?
"So, what did the commander say to the emperor? Why did he give an oral order?"
Yu Shengsheng just asked casually. She was curious at the time and didn't think much about it.
Fu Qingyin looked at her for a while, then said slowly, "Nothing else, just say that the animal head is worn by the Heavenly Master who is going to meet Cheng Ziheng."
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes slightly and her heart beat fast.
The emperor was happy about the iron mine, but the man behind it was like a thorn in his heart.
If you don't get things straight, you won't have peace.
The same is true for Nanshun, otherwise Kong Dezhao would not have been detained in the capital.
If the emperor said that the people behind this were Prince Nanshun and his son, he would be happy to believe it.
Even if... it was wrong, he was willing to make the best of a bad situation, put the blame on Kong Dezhao, and take the opportunity to make trouble.
Fu Qingyin grasped the emperor's psychology.
Yu Shengsheng clenched the blanket with both hands: "Commander, Kong Tu, it's hard to clear the suspicion anymore, right?"
Fu Qingyin's smile faded, and his eyes turned colder: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that the reason that the clothes have no dark patterns is too weak, and the reason that Kongtu can't say what he is doing in the alley is also an excuse."
"When Kong Tu showed up there, it was already destined that this matter would be blamed on him, even if other murderers could be caught."
Fu Qingyin's hand that was turning the ring lightly stopped, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if to swallow her in.
Yu Shengsheng was afraid, but more angry: "Commander, there has never been a false case in Zhenqiao Tower. I hope it will be the same this time."
Fu Qingyin shouted: "Stop the car!"
Jin Baobao hurried to stop, but before he could stop, Fu Qingyin had already got off the car, blew a whistle, and a white horse galloped over. He jumped on the horse and disappeared into the night.
Jin Baobao was confused: "Miss?"
Yu Shengsheng's fingers that were holding the blanket slowly loosened, but her heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand.
It's extremely uncomfortable.
"It's okay, let's go."
…
In the Shangshu room.
Eunuch Wei turned off two lamps.
"Your Majesty, take a rest."
The emperor sat at the desk and said, "Qingyin doesn't look very well. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. Could it be that his old illness has come back?"
Eunuch Wei also became concerned: "It does not look good, but the commander is always busy, maybe he is too tired, or what happened tonight was too shocking."
The emperor tapped the table with his fingers: "What do you think is going on between him and Yu Shengsheng?"
Eunuch Wei's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to answer this.
"The Emperor loves the Commander, and you have always been worried about his marriage. The Commander is a favorite of yours, and he is also very handsome, so of course you have to find a good one."
The emperor couldn't help laughing: "Red man, that's what they all say?"
"However, the popular people in front of me also earned their own fame. It's not that I am partial to them. Anyone who is capable and can share my worries can become a popular person."
Eunuch Wei laughed along.
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. "However, this Yu Shengsheng is indeed not bad. She is good-looking, has a good personality, and is not stupid. I remember that she and Qing Yin investigated the Crown Prince's affairs together last time. She is quite smart."
Eunuch Wei stood aside and listened.
The emperor said to himself: "But my origin is a little low."
"But you also said that Qingyin is a favorite of mine. If he had a wife with an outstanding family background, wouldn't those people gossip about him even more?"
"Oh, forget it," the emperor sighed, "I won't worry about it for now. Let's see what he wants. If he likes it, I will grant the marriage. If he doesn't like it, I can't force him, right?"
Eunuch Wei smiled but didn't dare to answer.
After helping the emperor to bed and lowering the bed curtains, Eunuch Wei let out a silent sigh.
He quietly retreated to the outer hall and waved to a young eunuch.
"Master."
Eunuch Wei whispered a few words, and the young eunuch quickly took his orders and left.
…
When Yu Shengsheng returned to the Su Mansion, Lu Hu hurried to greet her with red eyes.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Yu Shengsheng said absentmindedly, "Don't worry."
Jin Baobao said, "Miss, I'll go boil some hot water for you to take a hot bath."
"No, now I feel uncomfortable when I see water."
Yu Shengsheng came into the room, her hair was almost dry, she took off her clothes and lay down on the bed.
I fell asleep in a daze and had some messy dreams. I seemed to see blood coming out of Kong Dezhao's body, and there was a bloody person with him, who looked like Kong Tu.
They pressed her on the left and right, asking why she didn't speak up for them and let them be wrongly accused.
Kong Dezhao asked angrily: "Yu Shengsheng, what have I done to you? I killed someone, but did I kill you?"
"You will be punished for your ingratitude!"
Yu Shengsheng's heart was burning, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Before she could say anything, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Jin Baobao and Lu Hu standing by the bed with anxious looks.
"Miss, Miss!"
Yu Shengsheng wanted to agree, but her throat couldn't make any sound, her whole body ached, and she couldn't even raise her hands.
She shook her head and fell into darkness again.
"Oh no, the young lady has been badly burned," Jin Baobao grabbed Lu Hu, "You stay here and watch, I'll go find a doctor!"
