The Imperial Palace, Huayang Palace.
When Consort Su heard the news of Mu Junyu's suicide, she was utterly shocked: "You said she jumped off a cliff?!"
"Yes," Su Renyi replied, trembling. "It's all that damned girl Jinzhu's fault. If she hadn't interfered, none of this would have happened!"
Speaking of Jinzhu, Su Renyi was still furious!
He never imagined that Jinzhu was actually a spy planted by Su Xuening next to him. Thinking about how good he was to Jinzhu, Su Renyi became even angrier.
"Jinzhu? Who is Jinzhu? What exactly is going on? Explain yourself to me at once!" Consort Su was extremely anxious.
"That day, I wanted to interrogate Mu Yunyu, but when I got to the bamboo forest..." Su Renyi could only bite the bullet and recount what happened that day.
After hearing this, Su Fei was completely stunned. She glared at Su Renyi with burning anger: "So you were followed by your concubine, and she's Su Xuening's woman!"
"Yes," Su Renyi replied tremulously.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, those people did seem to have been following him.
"Su Renyi, you scoundrel!" Consort Su was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Su Renyi hard across the face. "How many times have I told you, I've told you a thousand times, ten thousand times, to be careful, to be very careful, not to be followed! And what happened? You ignored me! I've only entrusted you with my care for a few days, and you've already lost her! Su Renyi, tell me, do you deserve to die?!"
Su Fei glared at Su Renyi, so angry she wanted to strangle him.
"I deserve to die!" Su Renyi, ignoring the pain in his face, knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and begged for mercy, "This time I was careless, I deserve to die a thousand deaths, I never thought that girl would carry Mu Junyu and jump off the cliff!"
Su Fei squinted at Su Renyi suspiciously: "Are you sure Mu Junyu jumped off a cliff?"
Mu Junyu is a very cunning woman. Did she set up some kind of scheme to escape unscathed?
"I saw with my own eyes that the girl carried her and jumped off the cliff; there is no mistake!"
Su Renyi was absolutely certain that this was not a trap set by Mu Junyu. Moreover, the cliff was extremely high, and falling off would be extremely dangerous, if not fatal. Most importantly, Mu Junyu herself was already seriously injured. Even if she wanted to set up a trap, she would never think of such a dangerous move!
Consort Su still looked suspicious: "Did you send people to search at the bottom of the cliff?"
"I have been sending people to search at the bottom of the cliff every day for the past few days..."
"How many days?!" Su Renyi's answer had barely left his mouth when Su Fei screamed and jumped up, "How many days has it been since Mu Junyu jumped off the cliff?"
Seeing Su Fei so agitated, Su Renyi became even more frightened and nervously stammered, "It's been... five or six days."
Consort Su's face instantly darkened with anger, and she began punching and kicking Su Renyi: "It's been five or six days and you're only now coming to report? Su Renyi, why don't you just die!"
Su Renyi stood stiffly, enduring Consort Su's wrath, daring not to resist or cry out in pain: "I was afraid Your Majesty would be angry, so I didn't dare to report this. I had planned to use these next few days to find the person at the bottom of the cliff and then report to Your Majesty, but... I am incompetent..."
Wasn't he just afraid that she would get angry like she is now?
That's why I thought I'd go down the cliff myself to search first, but after searching for five or six days, I still couldn't find any clues, so I couldn't bear it any longer and came to report.
After beating her for a while, Su Fei, panting heavily, cursed, "Su Renyi, if you weren't my elder brother, I would have killed you with one sword! You good-for-nothing, more trouble than you're worth, yet you dare to compare yourself to my elder brother? You're not even as good as the cloth belt around his waist, what a piece of trash!"
Consort Su now truly regrets it. If her elder brother were still alive, she wouldn't have needed to do these things. Moreover, the Emperor would have given her some face out of respect for her brother, and she wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of capturing Mu Junyu and killing Su Xuening.
With his elder brother's military power, the throne will definitely be Yu'er's in the future. Not to mention Xuan Yuanduo, Xuan Yuanzhi has no chance, and even that bastard Xuan Yuanzhan has no chance!
If her older brother had always gone along with her wishes, she wouldn't be in this situation!
Consort Su's insults were extremely harsh. Knowing he had failed in his duty, Su Renyi immediately prostrated himself on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I will be more careful in the future and never dare to make such a mistake again!"
Looking at Su Renyi, who was lying on the ground like a dog, Su Fei felt even more disappointed and frustrated.
Why is the eldest brother so amazing, while the second brother is so incompetent?!
Consort Su was so angry that her heart began to ache. She glared at Su Renyi and said, "You're saying that a group of guards found that bamboo forest first that day?"
Su Renyi immediately nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have needed to move Mu Junyu."
It's all those secret guards' fault!
Su Fei narrowed her eyes coldly: "Who are you?"
Su Renyi glanced cautiously at Consort Su and stammered, "It should be from the Holy King's Mansion."
"So those guards were also following you, Su Renyi, you..." Su Fei instantly understood and raised her hand to hit Su Renyi again.
Su Renyi, terrified, shrank back and begged for mercy: "I will never dare to do it again..."
"Slap!" Consort Su kicked Su Renyi in the face and shouted angrily, "You useless piece of trash, what can I say about you!"
Su Renyi trembled and prostrated himself on the ground again, wishing he could press his face directly to the ground: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but the secret guards of the Holy King's Mansion are all very skilled in martial arts, and I really couldn't guard against them!"
"The Holy King's Mansion!" Su Renyi, as expected, understood Consort Su well and immediately diverted her attention.
"Bai Fuya!"
"Xuanyuan Zhan!"
Consort Su's face was grim. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Su Renyi: "Did you do what I asked you to do, kill Su Xuening?"
Su Renyi broke out in a cold sweat as Su Fei asked him these questions: "I arranged for a group of assassins to ambush Su Xuening outside the capital. It was going to be successful, but unexpectedly, Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly arrived and killed all of our assassins!"
These words infuriated Consort Su once again. She glared at Su Renyi, wishing she could glare a hole through his head.
This useless piece of trash can't even do one thing right!
Su Fei took a deep breath, trying to suppress her emotions: "Are there any survivors?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, our men are all loyal warriors, and we will never leave them any leverage," Su Renyi quickly assured him, fearing he would be beaten again.
Consort Su pondered, "Now that Mu Junyu has disappeared without a trace, it's very likely that Su Xuening has found her and taken her back. Do you know what will happen to us if Mu Junyu falls into Su Xuening's hands!"
As Su Fei continued speaking, she seemed to want to kill Su Renyi again: "If Su Xuening gets the Su family's military power, we will all lose everything! And if Su Xuening finds out about my elder brother..."
Before Consort Su could finish speaking, Su Renyi was startled and exclaimed, "I will send assassins again. I will make sure Su Xuening doesn't live!"
