Seeing Su Renyi's head fall to the ground, Su Xuening and Su Yun'an felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Su Renyi has done so many evil deeds, he has finally gotten his just deserts!
On the execution platform, Zhu Yu continued to proclaim, "The Black Serpent Society preys on the people, runs rampant in the capital, and has committed countless murders. Their crimes are too numerous to count and are unforgivable. Execute them!"
As the execution warrant fell, the heads of Shao Kun and the Black Snake Society assassins fell to the ground.
One streak of crimson blood after another was spilled onto the execution platform, causing the people to cheer and shout with excitement.
"These Black Serpent Society assassins have finally been eradicated!"
"It should have been done long ago! If the imperial court had intervened sooner, so many people wouldn't have suffered at the hands of the Black Serpent Society!"
"These Black Serpent Society assassins did a good job, and Su Renyi did a good job too. They all deserved to die!"
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The people, shouting and chanting, knelt down in unison before the palace, yelling "Long live the Emperor!" This shows just how much hatred the Black Serpent Society held in the hearts of the people.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Su Xuening and said, "It was clearly you who did the good deed, but you ended up winning over the hearts of the people for nothing."
Su Xuening chuckled: "I am already very satisfied with today's result. In any case, the Emperor was fair this time, and he deserves the support of the people."
Whether Xuanyuan Peng wins the hearts of the people is not her concern right now.
Although she also hated Xuanyuan Peng and wanted to avenge the murder of her son in her past life, she knew clearly that she did not have the strength to seek revenge on Xuanyuan Peng now. All she could do now was lie low and endure, and slowly look for an opportunity.
Su Renyi, Zhong Shi, Su Feiling, Xuan Yuanyu, Su Huiyan, Xuan Yuanpeng... Su Renyi is the first, and she won't let any of the rest go!
Su Xuening concealed her aura and looked at Su Yun'an, saying, "Su Renyi is dead, shouldn't we go back to the bamboo forest?"
Su Yun'an nodded obediently: "Sister, I've made up my mind. I'm going to practice martial arts diligently so that I can be a support for Mother and Sister in the future."
Su Renyi and Su Huiyan owe their success to their father's military achievements.
He also wanted to learn skills so that he could earn many military merits like his father in the future, and so that those people could no longer bully his mother and sister.
"Good girl." Su Xuening affectionately patted Su Yun'an's head: "It's good to practice martial arts seriously, but don't be too hard on yourself. Now that I am the Holy Princess, I have the Dowager Consort and the Prince as my backers. No one will dare to bully me."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan reached out and pinched Su Yun'an's cheek: "You just need to be your mother's support. Your sister has me, she doesn't need you."
...Su Yun'an glared at Xuan Yuanzhan with displeasure.
The goodwill I had gained from helping him fight Su Renyi vanished instantly.
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan with a hint of helplessness.
He's the same, arguing with a little kid over these things.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the western suburbs."
Su Xuening led Su Yun'an out of the private room.
Xuanyuan Zhan quickly followed him out.
The three of them left the teahouse, and Su Xuening and Su Yun'an got into the carriage together.
As Xuanyuan Zhan was about to get into the carriage, Su Xuening lifted the curtain and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to go. You didn't sleep all night, so go back and catch up on some sleep. I'll take you there myself."
Su Yun'an chimed in, adding, "Your Highness need not go."
...Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Su Yun'an with a black line on his face.
That brat, didn't he call him brother-in-law before?
Su Xuening gently tapped Su Yun'an on the head before looking at Xuan Yuanzhan and saying, "It just so happens that this place is not far from the Prince's residence. Your Highness, you can walk back by yourself. I will return after I escort Yun'an here."
As Su Xuening spoke, she lowered the carriage curtain and said to Ye Yu, who was driving, "Go to the western suburbs valley."
Ye Yu glanced at Ye Yun sitting next to her and gestured for him to get out of the car.
Ye Yun looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, and seeing that his prince didn't say anything, he could only get off the carriage dejectedly.
Ye Yu gave Xuan Yuanzhan a sympathetic look, then drove the carriage out of the city with the siblings.
Ye Yun watched the carriage drive away and snorted in dissatisfaction, "That Ye Yu has become more and more arrogant ever since she started following the Princess!"
Requisitioning the prince's private carriage and daring to glance at him—this Ye Yu is utterly lawless!
Xuan Yuanzhan's face darkened as he glanced at Ye Yun, giving her the same look of disdain as Ye Yu had just shown: "How can you speak like that? That's the Princess's person. Show some respect in the future."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhan actually walked back to the Holy King's Mansion.
...Watching Xuan Yuanzhan's retreating figure, Ye Yun's eye twitched violently.
No wonder Ye Yu dared to glance at him just now. It's obvious that the prince's status is not as high as that of the princess!
If he had known this would happen, he should have followed the princess. Following the prince doesn't give him any status!
Ye Yun muttered something to himself and then chased after Xuan Yuanzhan.
More than an hour later, Su Xuening led Su Yun'an back to the bamboo house in the western suburbs valley.
"Master."
Su Yun'an ran all the way back from the valley, leaving Su Xuening far behind.
When Su Yun'an ran to the bamboo house, he saw Pei Luo playing chess with a middle-aged man.
"You're back pretty quickly? Has everything been resolved?" Pei Luo noticed that Su Yun'an's spirits were completely different from when he left, and knew that he had adjusted his mindset, so he deliberately teased him.
Su Yun'an didn't answer Pei Luo's question, but looked at the middle-aged man curiously: "Who is he?"
You Yi also looked at Su Yun'an curiously: "Is this the little disciple that Senior Brother just took in?"
"That's the kid."
Pei Luo said indulgently, then glared at Su Yun'an, "You have no manners, hurry up and pay your respects to your martial uncle."
Su Yun'an was even more surprised upon hearing this: "The martial uncle that Master mentioned? He's too young!"
You Yi was amused by Su Yun'an's words. After all, who wouldn't be happy to be praised for being young? "This little disciple that Senior Brother has taken in is indeed interesting!"
Pei Luo's face darkened with anger at Su Yun'an's words; was Su Yun'an implying that he was too old?
Youyi, that old bastard, isn't much younger than him; he's just better at dressing up.
"Master."
Su Xuening walked slowly, and as soon as she reached the bamboo house, she saw Youyi. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked excitedly, "Is this your martial uncle?"
Master said that my junior uncle would arrive soon, so it must be him.
Hearing Su Xuening's voice, You Yi turned around to look at her. Seeing that she looked exactly like Su Yun'an, he exclaimed in surprise, "This must be your precious apprentice, right? She's your little apprentice's..."
"Sister." Before You Yi could finish asking, Su Yun'an ran to Su Xuening's side and pulled her aside, saying, "He is my martial uncle."
Pei Luo knew that Su Xuening had been waiting for You Yi, so he quickly explained, "Girl, he is the uncle I mentioned to you."
Upon hearing this, Su Xuening walked up to You Yi and knelt down with a "plop": "I have heard that my uncle is skilled in Gu poison. Please help me remove the Gu poison."
