Chapter 415 I'll Give You a Ride
Su Huaiyuan staggered and fell off his horse.
Yu Shengsheng was stunned. She didn't expect this to be the result.
Su Huaiyuan died just like that?
The only person left in the Su family is Su Yanshu.
The emperor accepted Fu Qingyin's suggestion and followed Su Huaiyuan's guard team and the city defense army. Because he was deceived by the Su brothers, he would not blame those who were ignorant. As long as they sincerely repented, they would be fined three months' military pay and no other crimes would be pursued.
Everyone cheered and expressed their gratitude.
As for the Su family, the direct descendants were sentenced to death, and the collateral descendants were never allowed to serve in the government or the military.
But Su Yanshu's life was saved, but he was locked up in prison until his death.
The prince was undoubtedly deposed, but the emperor did not take his life.
Maybe there really was some father-son affection, or maybe he wanted to make his ministers think that he was a benevolent monarch.
Even though the prince did this, he still had mercy in his heart.
However, the prince will be imprisoned in the clan house for life.
For him, this was no better than death.
As for what to do with the queen's body, the emperor did not say.
I asked Eunuch Wei, who smiled faintly: "What queen? Hasn't the queen been buried in the mausoleum? How dare this common woman pretend to be the queen? She should be thrown into a mass grave."
The rebellion ended before it even left the imperial mausoleum.
All officials stayed in the imperial palace and returned early the next morning.
"Yu Shengsheng" was just a minor character. No one noticed her, so she disappeared quietly.
The army that came with Su Huaishan was brought back by Hao Mengye when he sent back the Yecheng city defense army.
However, behind them, there was another small group of people.
The leader was riding a white robe and a fine horse, with something wrapped around the horse's hooves to minimize the sound.
It was Kong Dezhao and his group who wanted to take the opportunity to leave the capital.
In addition to Kong Mao and Kong Tu, there was also a man in a black cloak following him.
Kong Tu was excited: "Prince, we will be back to Nanshun soon."
Kong Dezhao felt mixed emotions. Of course, he wanted to go back to Nanshun, but... he still wanted to see Yu Shengsheng again.
It’s a pity that there is no time.
When I reached a corner, I suddenly saw a horse stopped in the middle of the road.
Kong Dezhao immediately stopped his horse and observed vigilantly.
The man was sitting on a horse, which was so majestic that the man on it looked petite.
This man was wearing the uniform of the Red Dragon Guard. Kong Dezhao recognized him as a Red Dragon Guard following Fu Qingyin.
Kong Tu drew his sword and waited for Kong Dezhao's order before rushing over and killing the man.
Kong Dezhao did not give any orders. He stared at him for a while and suddenly felt that this person seemed familiar.
It was strange that he would feel familiar with a Red Dragon Guard.
Kong Dezhao asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yu Shengsheng said loudly: "I'm here to see the prince off."
Kong Dezhao was stunned. Although the face was different, he recognized the voice.
"You... Shengsheng?"
Yu Shengsheng nodded.
After Kong Dezhao's joy, he became confused. He quickly recalled what happened today and everything about "Yu Shengsheng".
Suddenly I understood.
I see!
Kong Dezhao laughed with a hint of self-mockery. The first time he met her today was when she followed Fu Qingyin down from the carriage.
He didn't recognize her, and she didn't give him any clues, not even a glance.
Kong Dezhao suppressed the bitterness in his heart and looked around: "What? Did Fu Qingyin ask you to stop me?"
"No," Yu Shengsheng replied, "I am here to see the prince off and give him a gift."
Kong Dezhao felt a little nervous in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
"What gift?"
Yu Shengsheng raised her hand and pointed at the person in the black cloak: "She."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black cloak suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Kong Dezhao.
Kong Rabbit and Kong Cat were shocked.
"Prince, be careful!"
Before Kong Dezhao turned around, Yu Shengsheng's slingshot was steady, accurate and ruthless, and the marble whizzed past Kong Dezhao and hit the black cloak.
There is a crisp sound of "pop".
The man in black cloak screamed in pain, fell off his horse, and revealed his true face.
Yu Shengsheng looked at the familiar face, her eyes like cold stars: "Ruan Jing, a spy from the enemy country, secretly colluded with Prince Nanshun, and deceived Su Huaiyuan into following her into the capital."
"Prince, do you think that she is just someone Su Huaiyuan brought back from the border, who can monitor Su Huaiyuan at all times and pass on information for you and Nan Shun?"
Kong Dezhao's heart was beating hard, and anger was burning in his eyes: "You are a spy?"
Ruan Jing's ribs were broken and it hurt to breathe, and blood came out of her mouth.
"How did you know?" she asked Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng laughed softly: "I knew it when you asked Qi Mubai to kill me."
Kong Dezhao shouted angrily: "What?!"
"Sir, thank you for taking care of me and saving me so many times while we were in the capital. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today."
Yu Shengsheng said sincerely: "Nan Shun is powerful, but not as powerful as human ambition. Prince, I just hope that after experiencing what happened tonight, you can put yourself in his shoes and think about Nan Shun's future."
Yu Shengsheng stopped there.
Kong Dezhao held the reins, stared at Yu Shengsheng for a long time, and then smiled slowly.
"I remember that."
"drive!"
Kong Dezhao said no more, picked up the reins and galloped away.
Kong Tu swung his sword, killed Ruan Jing, and rode his horse to chase after him.
Kong Mao bowed to Yu Shengsheng and said goodbye silently.
The sound of horse hooves faded away, but Yu Shengsheng did not look back.
Kong Dezhao looked back—Shengsheng, see you later.
His figure blended into the night.
Only when the road became quiet did Yu Shengsheng breathe a sigh of relief.
A man swooped down from the treetops and landed behind her, his sleeves like clouds.
…
We returned to the city early the next morning. We were sad when we came and listless when we left.
Few people slept well last night. After such a great shock and the huge changes, some ladies fell ill before returning to the city.
The emperor returned to the palace and also drank two doses of medicine.
He handed the empty medicine bowl to Eunuch Wei and asked, "Have you investigated Yu Shengsheng's background?"
"Your Majesty, what the Su family said at the imperial mausoleum is indeed true. Yu Shengsheng was born to Madam Su, but was swapped out of the mansion by a servant. After she was found, they told the public that she was a cousin."
The emperor sneered: "Slave swap? Which slave has such courage? It's the Queen's doing. She used this method to send her and Su Huaiyuan's bastard to Su Huaiyuan."
Eunuch Wei remained silent and did not dare to respond.
"Well, she's not close to the Su family, and she's made contributions to Hongyuan Temple, so let's keep her."
"Qingyin really should have someone to take care of him."
Eunuch Wei bowed his head: "Yes."
Eunuch Wei was still feeling scared, thinking of what Fu Qingyin had told him before - if the emperor asked about Yu Shengsheng's background, he didn't have to say nice things, just tell the truth.
The emperor would naturally agree to keep Yu Shengsheng by his side.
The reason is simple, simply because Yu Shengsheng no longer has a family background and no one to rely on.
Best for him.
At this moment, the commander of the imperial guards came in quickly.
"Your Majesty, Commander Fu went to the clan residence."
The emperor was not surprised and sighed: "It seems that he still can't let it go."
