"A spy from the Northern Desert? This... how is that possible?"
Su Yu didn't immediately grasp Su Lianwu's meaning and subconsciously denied it.
Su Lianwu wasn't in a hurry, and patiently continued, "Father, think about it, Uncle started losing wars after marrying Su Liluo's mother, and she was a woman Uncle brought back from the Northern Desert."
Didn't you all say that Uncle was a very good warrior? Why did he lose to Bei Mo after marrying her? If Aunt was a spy from Bei Mo who married Uncle and stole some secrets, would it make sense if he lost?
Although her aunt is dead, Su Liluo is still her daughter, and thus carries the blood of the Northern Desert. Can the Emperor truly tolerate a Crown Princess with a Northern Desert spy as her mother?
“Lian Wu is right. How come I didn’t think of that? If that bitch really is a spy from the Northern Desert, won’t that bastard son also suffer the same fate?”
Before Su Yu could speak, Old Madam Su, who was standing to the side, also became excited after hearing Su Lianwu's words.
She actually hated not only Su Liluo, but also Su Zhen.
They both have the same surname, Su, and are the master's sons, so why is Su Zhen considered better than his own son?
If Su Zhen were to perish as well, then his son would be the most outstanding member of the Su family.
“Grandmother, you are right. If this matter gets out and the Emperor becomes suspicious, then Uncle’s official position will definitely be affected.”
"Then we'll take the opportunity to separate from them and prevent them from implicating us. Once our eldest uncle and the Crown Princess have fallen, our second branch will be free of obstacles and can rise rapidly in rank."
Su Lianwu analyzed the situation slowly, and the more he talked, the more convinced he became of his own point.
Su Yu, who was standing to the side, also pondered for a while, and finally agreed that Su Lianwu's method was good, but...
"How do we proceed with this? How can we prove that that wicked girl is a spy from the Northern Desert?"
He looked at Su Lianwu curiously, wondering if his son had already come up with a plan.
"This naturally needs to be spread. As long as the people of the entire capital are talking about it, it will surely reach the Emperor's ears. Since ancient times, the idea of having spies from enemy countries hidden within one's own country has been the most taboo thing."
"If the Emperor hears even a whisper of this, he won't ignore it. He'll definitely order an investigation. All we need to do is fabricate some ambiguous evidence."
"But spreading rumors and making them known throughout the entire capital is no easy task. We are already struggling financially, and your grandmother's eighty taels of silver certainly won't be enough."
After hearing what Su Lianwu said, the light in Su Yu's eyes dimmed again.
He felt that his son's idea was good, but they didn't have the capital to carry it out.
At the same time, Madam Su's smile vanished.
He chimed in, "Yes, I don't have enough money, so don't even think about it!"
If she had known, she shouldn't have told her son how much money she had saved up. Now they're constantly eyeing her money.
If this fails again, she'll really be broke down to nothing but her underwear.
“We have no money, but the King of Chu does. Grandmother’s eighty taels of silver is definitely not enough, so naturally we can’t handle this ourselves.”
Su Lian Martial Arts.
"King of Chu? Do you intend to...?"
Do you want the King of Chu to do it?
Su Yu looked at Su Lianwu in shock, not expecting that he would actually ask the Prince of Chu to handle this matter.
You have to understand that the King of Chu is no longer the King of Chu. He has been demoted to a county prince. He has suffered a lot of losses recently. Would he still dare to do something so risky?
"Yes, Father, only the King of Chu has the power to do this, and Wan Shi is the King of Chu's person, so we must stand on the King of Chu's side."
We can tell King Chu that using this incident to bring down the Crown Princess will inevitably affect the Crown Prince, which is something King Chu would welcome. I think King Chu wouldn't refuse.
Su Lianwu confidently stated his analysis.
After Su Lianwu explained and analyzed the situation several times, Su Yu and the others soon agreed with his approach.
The next day.
Su Yu and Su Lianwu then sent their visiting cards to the Prince of Chu's residence.
Since being demoted to a county prince, Xiao Churen has become less arrogant. He has been secretly accumulating strength and, based on his reborn memories, trying to win over those who can help him.
Suddenly, he received a letter of invitation from Su Lianwu and his group. He thought that Su Lianwu was a man of some achievement in his previous life. If Su Liluo hadn't seized the initiative in this life and caused Su Lianwu to become like this, he should have been a good weapon in his hands.
So he met with them without hesitation.
"You want me to find someone to spread rumors that Su Liluo is the descendant of a spy from the Northern Desert?"
Xiao Churen looked at Su Lianwu in shock after hearing his words.
Meanwhile, outside the study, a slender figure was eavesdropping through a window.
Is Su Liluo a spy from the Northern Desert?
Su Wanshi thought excitedly.
She had only received news that the King of Chu was receiving her father and brother in his study, and thought she would secretly listen to what they were planning to do, but she never expected to hear such explosive news.
"Yes, Your Highness, once this news gets out, the Emperor will inevitably become suspicious, and Su Liluo's biological mother is indeed a woman from the Northern Desert."
My uncle also lost the battle against the Northern Desert after bringing her back. We can say that these coincidences were due to spies, which led to my uncle's defeat.
"And after more than a decade, my uncle returned victorious again because Su Liluo's mother had long since died, and Su Liluo was no longer by his side."
Su Lianwu shared his analysis with Xiao Churen.
He knew that Xiao Churen had been demoted to a county prince, but in order to flatter him, he still privately called him Prince Chu.
"this......"
Xiao Churen listened to Su Lianwu's words and began to ponder them, his index finger rhythmically tapping the table.
What Su Lianwu said seemed to make sense, but the matter was also very risky. If it turned out to be a baseless rumor and a malicious frame-up, and if the investigation found out that he was involved, he would probably be punished.
However, risk is accompanied by opportunity. If he can use this matter to make it a reality, he can not only remove Su Liluo from the position of Crown Princess, but also take the opportunity to weaken the Crown Prince's prestige and power.
It must be said that Xiao Churen was indeed very tempted by this proposal.
"Your Highness, since ancient times, every success has been accompanied by risks, just like fighting a war. There are wins and losses. If you want to get what you want, you have to dare to take on challenges."
Since things are already like this, why not take another chance? Besides, we're just spreading rumors; once enough people start saying them, it'll be impossible to trace the source of the rumors.”
Seeing that Xiao Churen was hesitant, Su Lianwu stepped forward to persuade him again.
