Chapter 545 Let the Prince Take the Blame
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other when they heard this.
Then Su Hanchu put down the teacup and spoke.
"Aye, go back to your room and rest first. I'll go meet Mr. Zhou..."
Jun Moye reached out and held her hand and spoke.
"Chuchu, I was already weak, and after being disturbed in the peach forest, I fell ill again. I should be lying in bed right now. Lord Zhou, please come in and visit me."
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu turned his head to look at him, smiled, and then nodded.
"Aye is absolutely right."
"Caiyue, please ask Doctor Li to come and see the young master. Caixing, go show Lord Zhou the way."
Then he accompanied Jun Moye towards the bedroom.
Lord Zhou, who had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time, saw a maid coming and naturally recognized her. It was Caixing, the head maidservant beside City Lord Su. After all, Caixing had just accompanied Madam Li to report the case today.
"Miss Caixing."
Caixing spoke politely.
"Sir Zhou, our young master has been disturbed and is currently being examined by a doctor. Our city lord has asked that if Sir Zhou does not mind, please move to our young master's bedroom."
Upon hearing this, Lord Zhou spoke hurriedly.
"How could I dislike it? My original intention was to visit Master Jun."
Cai Xing spoke after hearing this.
"Then Master Zhou, please follow me."
Lord Zhou followed Caixing all the way to Jun Moye's bedroom.
The doctor was taking Jun Moye's pulse. Su Hanchu sat beside the bed with red eyes, looking at Jun Moye worriedly.
Caixing lowered her head and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Well, my master is acting again.
Su Hanchu asked with a somewhat anxious tone.
"Doctor Li, how is the young master's health? Has his condition worsened?"
Doctor Li looked troubled.
"City Lord, the young master had been taking medicine and his health had improved slightly, and his spirits had also improved a lot. However, he was frightened today, and the spirit he had worked so hard to build up has disappeared again. I'm afraid he will have to stay in bed and rest for a while."
When Su Hanchu heard this, tears suddenly fell from her eyes, and the hot tears fell on the back of Jun Moye's hand.
Although he knew it was all acting, Jun Moye still felt uncomfortable seeing her tears.
He quickly stretched out his other hand and held her hands tightly.
"Chu Chu, don't worry... cough cough cough... it will be fine after a while..."
Su Hanchu's tears fell even harder.
"It's my fault. I was just thinking about you being too bored lying at home recuperating. I wanted to take you out for a walk. The fresh air would be so refreshing if you stayed there for a few days. Maybe you'd feel better and your body would get better too. I didn't expect the security in Tianyuan to be so bad. Someone even attempted assassination in broad daylight... I must ask the Emperor of Tianyuan, is the security in such a great country like this?"
Seeing this, Lord Zhou looked ashamed.
"City Lord Su, it is indeed Tianyuan's fault that Young Master Jun was frightened in Tianyuan. I have already sent people to investigate the case and will give you an explanation. I will go to the palace to report to His Majesty tomorrow morning..."
Su Hanchu seemed to have just realized that there was someone else in the room.
He looked up at Lord Zhou and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Master Zhou, why are you here?"
Then he scolded angrily.
"Caiyue Caixing, how do you do your job? You didn't even inform us that Lord Zhou was coming?"
Caixing spoke hurriedly.
"I know I was wrong, City Lord. When Lord Zhou came in just now, the young master was seeing a patient. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I didn't report it in time. Please punish me, Lord City Lord."
Su Hanchu had wiped away her tears over this matter.
He glared at Caixing.
"Go down and receive your punishment later."
Then he looked at Lord Zhou.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Master Zhou."
Upon hearing this, Lord Zhou spoke hurriedly.
"It's natural for City Lord Su to worry about her husband. How is Mr. Jun doing now?"
Su Hanchu shook his head upon hearing this, his face full of worry.
"The situation is not optimistic. The doctor said he needs to rest for a long time. This shock has caused considerable damage to his body."
There was a hint of sob in Su Hanchu's voice, as if she was really heartbroken about Jun Moye's illness.
Upon seeing this, Lord Zhou quickly comforted him.
"Rest assured, City Lord Su, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to both Master Jun and Baise City. As for the public security issue, I will immediately report to His Majesty and strengthen patrols and guards around the Imperial City."
At this time Qinggu walked in.
"City Lord, Young Master."
Su Hanchu gave Qinggu a look without any expression.
"Qing Gu, how is your investigation going? Where is the assassin?"
Qing Gu walked closer and whispered something in Jun Moye's ear. Jun Moye's eyes moved, and then he spoke in shock.
"What? An assassin actually entered the Prince's Mansion of Tianyuan?"
Su Hanchu also let out a cry of surprise.
"An assassin entered the Prince's residence? How could that be?"
Then there was a hint of anger on his face.
"Well, what a great Prince Tianyuan, very good. Is it true that when his dirty thoughts are not satisfied, he will destroy others?"
Lord Zhou looked on in confusion.
"Did City Lord Su find any clues? Could you please let me know?"
Su Hanchu's voice turned a little colder when he heard this.
"Originally I thought it was just the poor security in Tianyuan. Now it seems that this is the ambition of Tianyuan's crown prince, and his intentions are dirty and filthy."
The Crown Prince of Tianyuan was spoken of so badly that Lord Zhou's face turned very unhappy, but he did not dare to get angry, so he could only ask patiently.
"I don't understand what City Lord Su means. Why don't you explain it more clearly?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu glanced at Lord Zhou coldly and snorted.
"Since Lord Zhou has been to the peach forest, he knows there were many assassins involved in this assassination. And just looking at the calluses on the assassins' hands, you can tell they were the result of years of training. We narrowly escaped death. After finally killing the assassins, we discovered one who had slipped through the net. Our people tracked the assassins to the Prince's residence, and the assassins have entered the Prince's residence. Lord Zhou, as the Dali Temple Minister of Tianyuan, I believe he has handled many cases. How about Lord Zhou explain to me why this assassin disappeared into the Prince's residence?"
Lord Zhou was startled when he heard this. If it was just an ordinary assassination, then it might be Lord Su's own enemy. Tianyuan would just have a reputation for poor public security. But if the assassin was sent by the prince, that would be a serious matter. He spoke quickly.
"I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding here, City Lord Su. It might just be an assassin who happened to enter the Crown Prince's residence. After all, our Crown Prince is still under house arrest, and there's no reason for him to assassinate you two."
When Su Hanchu heard this, his eyes turned cold and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"No reason to assassinate? He has plenty of reasons, Lord Zhou. Don't underestimate your Crown Prince. He's very daring. Even if he's under house arrest, as the crown prince, he has plenty of people around him to use. With just one order from him, all the civil and military officials of Tianyuan would have to serve him. As for why he wanted to assassinate, he originally had the intention of destroying him if he couldn't get him. How despicable!"
