She also wants to be the woman who can stand beside Situ Yao!
As she thought about it, she grabbed Situ Yao's hand, her eyes gleaming, "Don't worry! I will never say these words again! I will definitely work hard and be a woman who is capable of standing with you!"
Situ Yao listened to Su Mengyan's words, smiled slightly and nodded.
The two of them finally got together, so naturally they were intimate for a long time.
Su Mengyan nestled in Situ Yao's arms, thinking about something. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Situ Yao, "There's one more thing."
Situ Yao played with Su Mengyan's hair, then looked down at her, "What's the matter?"
Su Mengyan directly pulled Situ Yao's arm down and said, "Qingqing and Wenwen."
After hearing this, Situ Yao raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything. Instead, he waited for Su Mengyan to speak.
Su Mengyan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him, "I always feel that they don't look like children abandoned by poor families, they are so pretty."
"Do you want me to help you check their identities?"
Su Mengyan heard this and nodded, "That's right."
Situ Yao nodded in understanding and agreed immediately.
"Okay, I understand."
After hearing this, Su Mengyan smiled slightly and nestled in Situ Yao's arms, not knowing what she was thinking about.
At the same time, Situ Zhao's task of reinforcing the dam was also completed.
On the day Situ Zhao left the south, he received kowtows from the people as expected, which made him feel very happy and light-hearted.
Just when Situ Zhao was leaving the southern town in triumph, he encountered an accident.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the front, heading straight for Situ Zhao, wanting to take his head.
Situ Zhao was so scared that his face turned blue. Although he was protected by people around him, he still inevitably suffered some injuries.
When those people failed in their assassination attempt, they decided to give up and waved their hands to retreat.
Situ Zhao was quick-witted and ordered his guards to chase after him.
The man chased the assassin for a short distance, but still failed to catch up with the group.
But he brought back a token.
The accompanying ministers also saw the token and their expressions changed immediately.
It is the token of the Eastern Palace.
The appearance of this token undoubtedly brought endless reverie to the ministers around him.
They have always seen the emperor's favoritism towards the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince. At first, they thought that the Crown Prince had a good temper and never bothered with Situ Zhao.
But today's assassination...
The ministers thought about this and fell silent at the same time.
Because the group was assassinated on the way, the accompanying imperial physician gave Situ Zhao a simple bandage and then ordered his men to ride as fast as possible to send them to the capital for treatment.
The emperor naturally heard about this incident and immediately summoned the ministers accompanying him to his study to listen to them talk about what happened during the assassination.
A minister stood aside, watching the emperor's nervous expression. The emperor seemed to have noticed something and tilted his head to look at him. "What do you want to say?"
After hearing the emperor's question, the minister stood up in fear and trepidation and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, the assassin came with great force, but the Seventh Prince's attendant found the token of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace on the assassin."
When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed and his eyes fixed on the minister.
The minister was terrified and bowed to the emperor, then handed the token directly to the emperor.
The emperor took one look at the token and his expression immediately changed. "Asshole!"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers around him all stepped aside and did not dare to look up at him.
The emperor looked at the token for a while before turning to the eunuch beside him and said, "Go and call that bastard over here!"
Situ Yao was handling the case of a missing woman, but he didn't expect someone to come in and summon him, saying that the emperor was angry and asked him to go quickly.
Su Mengyan was helping to sort out the files. After hearing this, she looked over curiously, "What is the emperor angry about?"
The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict glanced at Su Mengyan, then tilted his head to look at Situ Yao, "The Seventh Prince went to the south to reinforce the dike, and on his way back, he was assassinated. As luck would have it, the token of the Eastern Palace was found on the assassin's body."
After hearing this, Su Mengyan's face turned a little bad and she looked at Situ Yao with a frown.
Situ Yao can't be that stupid?
If you want to assassinate someone and ask your subordinates to wear the token, wouldn't that be like announcing to the world that you were the one who did it?
The eunuch seemed to feel a little sorry for Situ Yao. He glanced in his direction and said, "Your Highness, please go quickly. The Emperor is very angry!"
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao nodded and put down the file in his hand.
The case of the missing girl had just begun to show some progress, but unexpectedly something like this happened.
Just as he was about to leave, Su Mengyan grabbed his arm. She seemed very worried.
Seeing this, Situ Yao smiled slightly and patted her hand, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
When Su Mengyan saw this, she nodded, but her eyes were still full of worry.
The emperor had been waiting in the study. When he saw Situ Yao come in, he threw the token on the table directly to him.
Situ Yao's performance was always indifferent.
He picked up the token, glanced down, and then bowed to the emperor. "Father, this token has the words 'Eastern Palace' written on it, yes, but it is not the token of your son, the Eastern Palace."
The emperor followed suit and looked over.
Whether this token was genuine or not, he had naturally thought about it a long time ago.
Situ Yao is not a fool, how could he give this handle to me for nothing?
But he just wanted to use this token to make things difficult for him.
"This token bears your name, the Eastern Palace. This is a done deal. Don't try to argue with me."
Situ Yao listened to the emperor's words and remained silent.
The emperor glanced at him, then at the ministers around him. Seeing that they all seemed dissatisfied, he coughed softly and said, "If you want to prove your innocence, I may give you a chance."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao looked at the emperor and said, "Father, please give me a chance."
This is a truth that Situ Yao had already understood long ago.
You can't go against the emperor.
If you keep quiet, his attitude will naturally improve.
The emperor glanced in Situ Yao's direction, then snorted coldly and said, "I give you three days to find the mastermind behind this. Otherwise, I will punish you directly!"
