Chapter 526 Already Reaching the Peak

The next day, the emperor went to court.

When he heard that there was no progress in the Xu Mansion and the Prince's incident, and a witness had died, the emperor was furious and sentenced Xing Maozhi to a court cane.

No one saw the execution, but it is said that Xing Maozhi was carried back later.

The whole day was busy in the mansion, and the candles were not extinguished all night.

Everyone couldn't help but feel insecure.

And Xing Maozhi in the mansion, lying on the bed and being served, lived a very comfortable life.

"Come on, everyone, be smart when someone asks you. If you ruin the good things of the emperor, you will have more than a few heads chopped off!"

"Yes!"

Xing Maozhi smacked his lips lightly.

Although he didn't know why the emperor wanted him to do such a show, it didn't matter. The emperor must have his own deep meaning.

After hearing what happened in the morning court today, Xiao Yanli's eyelids twitched a few times.

"Such a heavy blow, the emperor must have been affected by the drug," Uncle Zhang said with a slight raise in his voice.

"Did you go to his house to check? Is he really seriously injured?"

"I checked. We followed him from the palace to the mansion, and never left his side." Uncle Zhang said, "Blood was oozing out all the time. After leaving the palace, we went to the clinic first. We took him back to the mansion after he regained some consciousness."

Xiao Yanli closed his eyes slightly.

Uncle Zhang was about to speak when he heard footsteps outside the house. He stopped in front of the door and said, "Your Highness, there is someone outside the door looking for you. I don't know who he is..."

Xiao Yanli was already irritable, and he interrupted impatiently, "Get out if you don't know his identity. My prince's mansion is not a vegetable market. Anyone can enter!"

The guard outside the door was stunned for a moment, but still said with a stiff upper lip, "He said his name is Su Bai. Your Highness will definitely let him in after hearing this name."

"I don't know any Su Bai. Let him..." Xiao Yanli's voice suddenly stopped: "Wait, Su Bai?!"

Su Bai? !

This name is the eldest son of the Su Mansion, who was confiscated and exterminated for the witchcraft?

He and Uncle Zhang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Bring the person in."

Soon, Su Bai stepped in.

"I am Su Bai, a humble man, and I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

Su Bai clasped his fists and bowed slightly to Xiao Yanli.

The Su family was extremely wealthy back then, even the royal family was inferior to them. Xiao Yanli must have met him.

"I didn't expect you to be alive." Xiao Yanli's words were very sincere.

Su Bai lowered his eyes and smiled: "God has blessed me, and my life is just fine."

Xiao Yanli didn't ask him to sit down, so Su Bai found a chair and sat down.

Xiao Yanli: "..."

Uncle Zhang: "..."

Su Bai looked around curiously. Xiao Yanli coughed a few times before drawing his attention back: "Mr. Su, what are you doing here today?"

"Ah," Su Bai looked at him with a smile: "I think you have rebellious thoughts, so I came to help you."

Uncle Zhang: "!!!"

Xiao Yanli: "!!!"

Although he was shocked in his heart, Xiao Yanli did not show it on his face. A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes: "I just think that Mr. Su is talking nonsense, and I don't care about you. Please be careful with your words."

His tone of voice for the last two words was light, but it contained a strong threat.

Su Baisi was not afraid at all: "Since I dare to say these words, it means that I have enough confidence. Your Highness, why should you be so trembling? You can't accomplish anything if you look ahead and behind."

Xiao Yanli's eyes flashed with hostility, and then he heard Su Bai say: "Your Highness should have heard a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. When the royal family confiscated my family's money, they only confiscated Shengjing and the surrounding areas. Your Highness might as well guess, Where is the real foundation of my Su family?"

Xiao Yanli pursed his lips and uttered those two words: "Jiangnan."

Su Bai smiled: "That's right, my Su family made its fortune in Jiangnan, so naturally most of them stayed in Jiangnan. After all, it is far away. Let's get back to the topic. Your Highness, tell me, do you have any rebellious thoughts now?"

Xiao Yanli sneered: "If I say so, will you help me? Why?"

"Of course it's for revenge," Su Bai smiled slightly, his eyes like knives: "My family was framed at the time, and the emperor exterminated all nine of my clans. How can I not avenge this?"

"I help you ascend the throne, and you help me kill the emperor. It's the best of both worlds. How about it?"

Xiao Yanli was silent and did not respond.

Seeing that he was silent, Su Bai chuckled and stood up: "I came here with full sincerity. Let's talk about it today. Among the current princes, I think you have the most potential."

"Of course, if Your Highness really has no intention of rebelling, I won't bother you any more. If Your Highness is interested, send someone to Zuiyuelong to find me."

After he said that, he turned around and left. Xiao Yanli stared at his back with a sinister look.

"Aren't you afraid?" Uncle Zhang raised his eyelids.

"What are you afraid of? Since he dared to come, he must have a back-up plan. Let's find out the details first."

Uncle Zhang did not comment.

...

The second day, the third day...

The emperor's temper became worse and worse. Even in the court, he would curse because of a little thing, which made everyone panic.

Xiao Yanli finally believed that the emperor was really poisoned.

At the same time, the news that Nanlong had won a great victory and was preparing to return to the capital was also reported to Shengjing.

The whole country was overjoyed.

The emperor also relaxed his brows for a rare time.

The only person who was not happy was Xiao Yanli.

His eyes were full of crazy murderous intent, as if they were real.

"I can't wait any longer," he murmured almost crazily: "Go find Su Bai and ask him what he can provide for us, so that everyone outside the city can come in!"

Uncle Zhang was also excited for a rare time.

But unlike Xiao Yanli's anger and panic, he was excited.

He was never willing to be just a small imperial physician, otherwise, he would not have been following Xiao Yanli as an aide.

Now, the opportunity has come!

He went out excitedly, without noticing Xiao Yanli's expression.

It was an expression of a trapped beast, as if he was between life and death, ready to fight to the death.

Xiao Yanli clutched the clothes in front of his chest to ease his heartbeat that was about to burst from his throat.

This time, if he loses, it will be a real dead end!

When Uncle Zhang went to look for Su Bai, Xiao Yanli sat silently in front of the desk, and he did not move no matter how the weather outside changed.

Until Uncle Zhang came back.

"Is everything settled?"

Uncle Zhang didn't notice his mistake: "Yes, everything is settled. We are just waiting for His Highness to give the order. When does His Highness plan to take action? If the army returns to the capital, it will take several days.

In my opinion, the sooner the better." "The ministers have been quite dissatisfied with His Majesty in recent days. Now is the best time."

Uncle Zhang was passionate, but Xiao Yanli gradually became suspicious.

Why was he so excited?

Before he became emperor, Xiao Yanli's suspicion had reached its peak. He put all the things that he felt subconsciously were wrong on Uncle Zhang after processing them in his mind. The more

he looked at it, the more wrong it seemed.
