Chengqian Palace.
Zong Jiu hurried into the main hall: "Your Majesty, Consort Su and the Holy Prince's Consort had a fight, and Consort Su fainted from anger."
Xuanyuan Peng frowned suddenly: "What's going on?"
Zong Jiu quickly explained what had just happened in the main hall: "The Holy King's Dowager Consort slapped Consort Su twice and said that Consort Su would have to bow to her from now on. Consort Su was so angry that she fainted!"
After hearing the whole story, Xuan Yuanpeng snorted coldly: "Does she still think she's Consort Su? How dare she disrespect Ya'er! Ya'er deserved to slap her twice!"
Xuanyuan Peng would never help any woman other than Bai Fuya in this kind of situation.
Zong Jiu had expected this. He wasn't there to complain about Bai Shi, but rather to report that someone from Huayang Palace had arrived: "As for Consort Su..."
"If you've fainted, go find the imperial physician. Why are you coming to me?" Xuan Yuanpeng glared at Zong Jiu impatiently.
"yes."
Zong Jiu dared not say another word and bowed to leave, when he heard Xuan Yuanpeng ask again, "Has the Holy King left the palace?"
Zong Jiu immediately replied, "Yes, His Highness the Holy King has returned to the Holy King's Mansion with the Holy King's Dowager and the Holy King's Consort."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Peng was immediately displeased: "That brat, he left without even saying goodbye to me! His injuries haven't even healed yet!"
Knowing that Xuan Yuanpeng felt sorry for Xuan Yuanzhan, Zong Jiu quickly comforted him: "These past few days, Head Physician Hang has been treating His Highness the Holy King. His Highness's injuries have improved considerably, but he still needs to rest. I'm afraid His Highness misses the Holy King's Dowager Consort and Holy King's Consort. Since His Highness's health is no longer a major concern, it doesn't matter where he rests."
Xuanyuan Peng snorted again, "He doesn't miss Ya'er, he definitely misses his wife!"
"His Highness the Holy King and His Highness the Holy Queen have just gotten married, so it's natural that they find it hard to part ways." Zong Jiu could only agree with Xuan Yuanpeng's words.
Xuanyuan Peng thought that since the two were newly married, it was indeed not good to force Xuanyuan Zhan to stay in the palace. If they could give him a grandson as soon as possible to continue the Xuanyuan royal family, it would not be a bad thing.
"Then send a few imperial physicians to the Holy King's residence and instruct them to take good care of the Holy King. Also, have Jinlu come to see me immediately after he returns."
"Yes," Zong Jiu replied and left.
A short while later, Jin Lu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, returned: "Your Majesty."
Before Jin Lu could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanpeng immediately asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found the military tally of the Su family army?"
Jin Lu shook his head dejectedly: "The Yong'an Marquis's mansion has been searched, but I didn't see the military tally of the Su family army."
"What?" Xuan Yuanpeng was instantly disappointed, and frowned, saying, "That's impossible. The military seal of the Su family army is in Su Renyi's hands. Have you searched for it carefully?"
The reason he raided the Yong'an Marquis's mansion this time was because of the military tally of the Su family army in Su Renyi's possession.
How could it be gone?
"I have searched the entire Yong'an Marquis's residence, but I have not found the military tally." Jin Lu knew that his purpose in going there was to find the military tally, and he really had searched inside and out, but he really couldn't find it.
Xuanyuan Peng refused to believe that the military tally could disappear into thin air. He gritted his teeth and said, "Keep searching. Even if you have to turn the Yong'an Marquis's mansion upside down, you must find the military tally of the Su family army!"
"Yes," Jinlu replied, and immediately went to look for it again.
Xuanyuan Peng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Where would Su Renyi hide the military tally?
Or is the military tally in Su Huiyan's hands?
If the military tally is indeed in Su Huiyan's hands, then obtaining it shouldn't be difficult.
Late at night, in the prison.
The jailers in the area where death row inmates were held had all left at some point.
A cold wind rises, and a white mist obscures the view.
Su Renyi, who was leaning against the wall waiting to die, suddenly seemed to see Mu Junyu in his dazed state.
The figure drifted closer and closer, eventually landing in front of Su Renyi's cell.
In the mist, Mu Junyu's stunningly beautiful face was so clear, it was as if she were right in front of me.
"Yunyu..." Su Renyi crawled towards Mu Yunyu with difficulty.
Mu Junyu stared coldly at Su Renyi and said sharply, "Su Renyi, why did you harm me? You've ruined me so badly!"
Seeing Mu Junyu's tattered, blood-stained clothes and disheveled hair, Su Renyi instantly recalled the scene of Mu Junyu jumping off the cliff. He said urgently, "I didn't mean to... It was Jinzhu who hurt you. It was all that little bitch's fault. She jumped off the cliff behind your back!"
Mu Junyu narrowed her eyes coldly and rebuked, "If you hadn't been pressuring us from behind, would she have taken me off a cliff?"
Su Renyi shook his head frantically, looking at Mu Junyu with deep affection: "I didn't, I just wanted to... take you to a safe place, I didn't... want to harm you, and I never expected you to jump off the cliff!"
Su Renyi's affectionate gaze made Mu Junyu feel nauseous: "I died a terrible death, my body was torn to pieces!"
Mu Junyu laughed wildly twice more, glaring at Su Renyi with a ferocious expression: "What a fitting end! I heard you were going to be beheaded in the underworld, so I came here specifically to pick you up!"
"No!" Mu Junyu's face, suddenly streaked with bloody tears, terrified Su Renyi. He shrank back into the corner and screamed desperately, "I don't want to be beheaded! I'm innocent! I didn't assassinate the Emperor! I've been framed! It's Su Xuening! She's the one who ruined me!"
Now Su Renyi even had the strength to shout.
Seeing Su Renyi's terrified expression, Mu Junyu sneered sarcastically, "Our Ning'er is avenging me and his father. Who told you to not only kill me, but also Renzhong!"
Su Renyi's pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked at Mu Junyu in utter shock: "What nonsense are you talking about? Su Renzhong died on the Northern Rong battlefield. He was killed by the Northern Rong people. What does that have to do with me!"
Seeing that he still dared to lie, Mu Junyu angrily rebuked him: "I saw Renzhong down there. He said that you and Su Huiyan conspired to kill him, which is why he died under the rocks. It was all your and Su Huiyan's fault."
Mu Junyu's expression, as if she already knew everything, completely shocked Su Renyi, who nervously swallowed several times: "You...saw...Su Renzhong!"
Mu Junyu suddenly grabbed the iron bars of the cell and shouted angrily, "Why did you harm Renzhong? If it weren't for him, you and Su Huiyan would still be farming and weaving in the village. How could you have your current status? Renzhong has been so good to you. He brought you to the capital, let Su Huiyan enter the palace as a concubine, and let you follow him to lead troops into battle. He has treated you well! Why did you harm him?"
Su Renyi was startled by Mu Junyu's sudden angry shout and subconsciously replied, "Who told him to disobey!"
As if recalling something terrifying, Su Renyi trembled and shook his head desperately: "It was Su Huiyan who wanted to harm him, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything! Don't come looking for me! Don't come looking for me!"
