Song Yushu gave two awkward smiles to express his apology, then shut up guiltily.
Jiang Shouli quickly coughed and changed the subject, "Your Highness, even if we catch the assassin alive, we still can't convict the person behind the scenes. This..."
"A warrior is only a warrior if he has no worries." Lu Zhixing said this, stood up and left.
Song Yushu and Jiang Shouli exchanged glances, then quickly chased after him.
Jiang Shouli nodded, then stretched his neck to see if Lu Zhixing had left. He waited until he could no longer see him. After a long while, he sat down and gently stroked his chest. "Tell me, why did you let Song Yushu comfort you when nothing happened?"
Lu Zhixing was originally a bully in Kyoto. He was also an expert in martial arts and had a high prestige in the military camp. All the officials in Kyoto had a vague fear of him.
Jiang Siyuan frowned and said nothing.
Jiang Shouli snorted, "Lu Zhixing was trained by the Lin Mansion with all its might. Why are you fighting with him? How should you fight with him? You are a subject, you must know your place!"
Jiang Siyuan didn't want to argue with Lu Zhixing, but he kept thinking back to the moment when Song Yushu appeared. The admiration in her eyes when she looked at Song Yushu was something Jiang Siyuan really wanted to take away...
He suddenly shuddered. Why would he want to take away the worship of a eunuch?
This thought made Jiang Siyuan feel uncomfortable all over. He ran away with his sword in his arms, completely ignoring his father.
"Hey hey hey, you're not obedient anymore now that you're old! You little bastard!" Jiang Shouli was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed.
Meanwhile, Song Yushu was trying hard to please Lu Zhixing.
She diligently massaged Lu Zhixing's arm, "My Lord, how is my strength?"
However, Song Yushu's first sentence hit Lu Zhixing's sore spot. He said that he didn't like Song Yushu calling him a slave when only his own people were around.
He glanced at Song Yushu coldly and closed his eyes again.
Oh no, Song Yushu realized later that he had used the wrong words to please Lu Zhixing. With a roll of his eyes, he suddenly threw himself into Lu Zhixing's arms, pressing his face against his chest, "Ah Xing~"
It has to be said that as long as Song Yushu wants, she can be a lady. When she acted coquettishly, most of Lu Zhixing's body was numb, but now, he could only grit his teeth and ignore Song Yushu.
Normally, whenever the two of them were alone together, Lu Zhixing would always make advances, or he couldn't stand Song Yushu's advance.
Seeing that Lu Zhixing was still as steady as a rock, Song Yushu felt a pang in his heart. It seemed that Lu Zhixing would be unable to calm down this time.
Neither she nor Lu Zhixing are the mouthless male and female protagonists in romance novels. They will speak directly if they have any problems.
Last time, Lu Zhixing openly expressed his dissatisfaction, but this time he was directly provoked by the scene.
It’s all my fault for being too talkative. Why did I ask Jiang Siyuan?
"First of all, let me be clear. I'm not really concerned about Jiang Siyuan. It's just a normal friendship between colleagues." Song Yushu held Lu Zhixing tightly and continued to explain, "Do you really think you can't compare to those people?"
In terms of looks, family background, and talent, Lu Zhixing believed that he would never be inferior to any man in Dayanchao.
But being low has its advantages. For example, if he had Jiang Siyuan's family background, he could be alone for the rest of his life without having three harems and six courtyards.
This was Lu Zhixing's deepest fear. He knew very well that Song Yushu was very resistant to this and deep down he had never thought that he could grow old with him.
He sighed softly and hugged Song Yushu back, "Ah Shu, it would be great if I were not the prince."
"If you hadn't asked the prince, we wouldn't have met." Song Yushu said softly, "We are together now, and I will never change my mind."
"Of course you are not that kind of person." Lu Zhixing put his chin on Song Yushu's head and said firmly.
Song Yushu is not such a person, but she is a brilliant person. As long as you come into contact with her, you will be attracted to her. Lu Zhixing is not worried about Song Yushu at all, but is worried about other men.
As for the look in Jiang Siyuan's eyes when he looked at Song Yushu, it was possible that Jiang Siyuan himself was not aware of it, but Lu Zhixing was very clear about it.
The two hugged each other in silence and returned to their respective residences in peace.
Now the assassin has been captured and is alive, but they still need to make a lot of preparations to make him speak.
Prince's Mansion.
"Good! Good, good!" Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed after hearing Jiang Wenpu's report. He even helped Jiang Wenpu up himself. "You've brought me such great news! You're truly a talented person!"
Even the death squad was captured alive. This replacement of the Chancellor was a good decision!
Jiang Wenpu quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I'm too kind. I was only doing my duty. It was Censor Jiang who was so brave that he captured those assassins alive."
"Capturing the assassins is only the first step. You still need to pry open their mouths." Lu Yanzhou nodded and sat back.
"I understand." Jiang Wenpu looked at Lu Yanzhou hesitantly, as if he had something to say but didn't know whether he could say it.
Lu Yanzhou saw it clearly and waved his hand. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so reserved. I won't blame you."
"Your Highness, although the Supervisory Council is already in your pocket, it still officially belongs to His Majesty. Even if those assassins can speak, they cannot directly say that it is your credit." Jiang Wenpu said while observing Lu Yanzhou's expression.
Sure enough, Lu Yanzhou's originally happy expression gradually froze, and after listening to Jiang Wenpu's words, he did not respond for a long time.
"You mean..." Lu Yanzhou was a little uncertain. He had already started to have an idea in his mind, but he still wanted to see if what Jiang Wenpu said was what he wanted.
"I think that those assassins, including Yang Wenyao, the son of Marquis Wenchang, should be transferred to the Dali Temple. The interrogation of Yang Wenyao has already been concluded. Since it involves the royal family, it should not be kept in the Supervisory Council." Jiang Wenpu continued to explain. He observed Lu Yanzhou's expression and knew that Lu Yanzhou had agreed with his idea.
This reason sounded very reasonable. Lu Yanzhou nodded repeatedly, "Very good, continue."
"This matter must not be allowed to be reduced to a small matter. It must be made known to the entire court so that that person cannot easily turn over." Jiang Wenpu patiently persuaded, "The case can only be concluded after the three courts have jointly tried it!"
Lu Yanzhou pondered for a long time, and finally nodded to Jiang Wenpu, "Prepare the horses, I am going to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after Lu Yanzhou entered the palace, the imperial guards under the emperor's personal command came with an imperial decree to take over Yang Wenyao and those assassins.
Jiang Shouli stood at the door to see them off, stroked his mustache, and then looked up at the dark sky. "The sky is finally starting to change."
