Chapter 121 Su Mingzhe knows the mechanism of the ancestral hall
"Huo Xingzhi!"
"It's Huo Xingzhi!"
Duke Gao's entire body was shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
He looked at the house that had been burned to ruins and rushed in like mad, trying to find Princess Yan Ning.
Unfortunately, all that was left for him was a pile of bones.
"I will tear Huo Xingzhi into pieces!"
The other side.
It was already late at night when Huo Xingzhi returned to Prince Li's Mansion.
Su Yuheng has woken up.
She sat on the bed and watched the blood-covered man come in from outside.
Huo Xingzhi took off the blood-stained robe and asked the maid to get some hot water for him to take a bath.
After changing into clean clothes, he returned to the bed.
"Heng'er."
He hugged Su Yuheng carefully and leaned her into his arms.
"Killing people again?" Su Yuheng put his hand on his shoulder.
A low, hoarse laugh escaped from Huo Xingzhi's throat.
"She shouldn't have come back to Yanjing in the first place, but she chose to come here to die."
"She will be a disaster if she stays in Yanjing."
"I will be heading to the border in another month, and I don't want those people to hurt you."
Su Yuheng leaned against him and whispered, "Your Highness is thinking about me."
"Heng'er has nothing else to ask for. After the prince has repelled the Qi army, please come back soon."
"Also, you must be more careful and be on guard against others."
"I'll listen to Heng'er." Huo Xingzhi said, and hugged her to sleep.
Now the time to leave the frontier is getting closer.
There are simply too many evildoers in Yanjing.
Huo Xingzhi was really worried about leaving Su Yuheng, a little girl, alone in Yanjing.
Being able to remove an obstacle for her is one.
The border was bitterly cold, with strong winds and sandstorms, and the military camp was full of men, so it was impossible to bring her to the camp.
If women enter the military camp, it will disrupt the morale of the troops, which is something that Dayan has never allowed.
Therefore, Su Yuheng had no choice but to stay in Yanjing.
Now Princess Yan Ning is dead.
Su Yuheng also held the dragon and phoenix jade pendant bestowed by His Majesty.
Next, it was Su Yanqiu.
On the bed, Huo Xingzhi reached out and held her waist, lowered his head and buried it in Su Yuheng's neck, sucking her earlobe affectionately.
"Heng'er, I will come back early after repelling the Qi soldiers."
"Before I leave, I will tell the Royal Grandfather that if you, a little girl, encounter any difficulties in Yanjing, you should go directly to the Royal Grandfather."
"There is always someone in this world who can protect you."
Su Yuheng turned around and poked him on the forehead.
"Why are you acting like we're parting forever?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "I just can't bear to leave Heng'er. I don't want you to wait for me for another year."
He leaned over and kissed her lips.
"You are only sixteen years old now, still a little girl. How can you hide from those monsters and demons in Yanjing? I am really worried."
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Didn't the prince say that I still have the support of the emperor?"
…
Su family.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Mo Yu rushed into the wing room and told Su Yanqiu about the fire in the north of Yanjing City.
Su Yanqiu's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Mo Yu in disbelief.
"What did you say? Princess Yan Ning is dead?"
Mo Yu said, "A fire suddenly broke out in the suburbs. When our people arrived, it was already reduced to ashes!"
"Everyone inside was killed in the fire. The area was completely burned to ashes."
Su Yanqiu couldn't stop trembling and asked, "Isn't there a secret passage leading to the dense forest in that house?"
"Princess Yan Ning didn't come out of the secret passage?"
Mo Yu sighed and said, "The secret passage has been blocked. It seems those people have been planning it for a long time."
"Sir, this secret passage is only known to you and Princess Yan Ning. No one else knows about it. How could someone block it for no reason?"
Su Yanqiu sat limply in the chair, looking a little unbelievable.
"Only the princess and I know about this. There can't be a third person."
He murmured: "Unless, unless it is the Tianji Pavilion?"
"Tianji Pavilion?" Mo Yu was puzzled.
Su Yanqiu said: "It is rumored that the Tianji Pavilion can know the secrets of the world, and the owner behind it is even more mysterious. Only the Tianji Pavilion can find out such hidden things."
"Could it be that someone in our Yanjing Imperial City is the master of the Tianji Pavilion, the lord of the black market?"
Su Yanqiu thought about it and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
If this is the case, then the King of Qi is definitely no match for this man.
"Who does the prince suspect?" Mo Yu asked.
Su Yanqiu said: "I don't know much about this matter, but I'm sure it's someone from the royal family."
"Princess Yan Ning is already dead. I'm afraid we'll have to send word to Concubine Gao and the Prince of Qi."
Mo Yu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Prince."
Su Yanqiu was silent for a while, then continued to ask: "By the way, do you know where Heng'er is?"
"The eldest daughter of the Shen family has been poisoned. If she doesn't have the blood of a loved one to detoxify her, she will surely die. Are you keeping an eye on the Shen family?"
"Could it be that Heng'er knows his identity?"
Mo Yu said, "Sir, there is currently no information on the whereabouts of the Fourth Young Lady."
"As for the eldest daughter of the Shen family, I heard that the Shen family invited a disciple of the Divine Doctor Fengwu to detoxify Miss Shen Wan, saying that they could do it without the blood of a close relative."
Su Yanqiu frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
"Disciple of Divine Doctor Fengwu?"
"Have you ever met him in person?"
Mo Yu shook his head. "I have never seen her, but I heard she was a woman of stunning beauty who often wore a veil."
Su Yanqiu said, "If the medical skills of Divine Doctor Fengwu's disciples were really that high, my good brother wouldn't still be in a wheelchair."
"Now that Jinshu has gone to Prince Qi's mansion, Yuhuan is dead, and Heng'er is missing, the Su family is in a real mess."
"You go down first. Send someone to continue to find out Heng'er's whereabouts. I will find her no matter where in the world."
Mo Yu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Prince."
The conversation between the master and servant in the side room fell into the ears of the maid Ziyuan without missing a word.
After Zi Yuan left Qingfeng Courtyard, she went directly to Su Mingzhe's yard and told him everything she had heard.
Su Mingzhe sat by the window and said calmly, "I understand. Let's go down."
"Yes, young master."
As night fell, a light drizzle fell in Yanjing.
Su Mingzhe was reading in the side room when he heard some noise outside the door.
A subtle voice of a nanny came in.
"Sir, the old lady invites you."
Su Mingzhe slid his wheelchair out of the room.
Then, Nanny Zhang, who was standing beside the old lady, was wearing a black hat and motioning at him.
"But is there any news?"
Nanny Zhang nodded: "Indeed, there is news. The old lady asked an old servant to come and fetch the young master."
Su Mingzhe nodded, and after leaving the yard, under the cover of Nanny Zhang, he secretly went to Old Madam Su's yard.
In the side room, Madam Su handed a booklet to him.
"I got this from the elders of your tribe."
"The diagram of the ancestral hall's mechanism is inside. Take a good look and see if you can find the mechanism."
Su Mingzhe took the booklet and scanned it, then opened it and looked at it for a long time before finally seeing some clues.
He stretched out his hand to look at the altar in the picture and muttered to himself.
"Could it be that the mechanism of the ancestral hall is under the altar?"
"Grandma." Su Mingzhe looked at Old Madam Su.
"Now, please let me show this booklet to my grandson and return it another day."
