Chapter 94: Counter-espionage
When Liu Anyu followed Liu into Huayuan Courtyard, he threatened her.
"Liu Ruyan, don't forget the dirty things you did."
"Now your own daughter has prevented the men of our Liu clan from taking the imperial examination, and your son has harmed my son."
"I want your son to pay for my son's life."
Liu looked at Liu Anyu expressionlessly, then looked at Nanny Gui beside her, and gave a slight signal with her eyes.
Nanny Gui took out the box from the secret compartment and handed it to Liu.
Liu opened the box, and inside was a box full of gold.
Many of these were rewards given to Su Yuheng by the retired emperor when he saved him.
She took them all.
Liu handed the gold in the box to Liu Anyu and said calmly, "Brother, these are for you."
"Look, are you satisfied?"
Liu Anyu took the box of gold, his eyes shining.
He picked up a piece of gold and took a bite. When he found out it was real, he put the gold back into the box.
He put the box into his sleeve and snorted coldly.
"Don't think you can silence me with this box of gold."
"Yunli has been harmed by your son now, how are you going to settle this account?"
Liu looked at him coldly and said, "Yanqiu is not harming Yunli, but helping him."
"At first, I took Yunli and Heng'er to pray for blessings, but I didn't expect that Yunli would become lustful in the Buddhist temple and wanted to defile Su Yuheng."
"Su Yuheng is deeply favored by the Retired Emperor. If this matter is reported to the Retired Emperor, the entire Liu family will most likely be executed."
"Yanqiu had no choice but to cut off Yunli's descendants in order to save his life."
"Liu Ruyan, don't try to fool me!" Liu Anyu was furious.
Liu snorted coldly: "If you don't believe me, go ask Yunli yourself if he wanted to tarnish Yuheng's innocence that day."
"But as your sister, I kindly remind you, brother, that it's best to keep this matter quiet, to avoid any further complications that might implicate the Liu family."
She glanced at the box in Liu Anyu's hand and said coldly, "This is a year's hush money, it's enough."
"Take Yunli back to Yongzhou today. I will send some money back every year."
Liu snorted coldly and said quietly, "Brother, don't forget, if I fall, you won't be able to live a good life in Yongzhou. We are one."
"Please send the guests away." Liu said impatiently, and then Nanny Gui came out.
"Second Master, please."
Liu Anyu held the box of gold in his hand, looked at Liu meaningfully, and his voice was cold.
"Liu Ruyan, don't forget that I still have the upper hand over you. If you don't send money to Yongzhou in three months, don't blame me for revealing all your secrets."
After the man finished speaking coldly, he turned around and left Liu's room and went to the room where Liu Yunli was.
Fangfei Garden.
In the elegant room, Su Yuheng was reading a book.
Suddenly, I felt some movement on the north side of the window.
She looked up at the north window and saw Huo Xingzhi, dressed in black and with a thin waist, coming in through the window.
Huo Xingzhi was as light as a swallow, and when he saw the girl lying on the couch, he curled his lips slightly.
Su Yuheng put down the book in his hand, stood up from the couch, and walked towards Huo Xingzhi.
"It's been so long, and you still don't miss me." The man said with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's only been five days."
Huo Xingzhi glanced around and said, "If I don't come looking for you for five days, you won't go looking for me."
He reached out and held Su Yuheng's hand in his palm, whispering: "Don't forget, you are Princess Li, and the palace is your home."
"I came here today because I have something else to tell you."
Su Yuheng frowned: "What's the matter?"
Huo Xing said: "The South Sea craftsman has been found."
"Found it? So fast."
"I am naturally quick in my work. However, the poison in the girl you saved has been completely removed. I am just waiting to lure someone into the trap."
Su Yuheng reached out and gently poked Huo Xingzhi's chest, whispering, "Doesn't the prince know where Yu Wushuang is?"
"How about your Majesty handle this matter?"
Huo Xingzhi curled his lips and reached out to gently stroke her lips.
"Heng'er, are you begging me for help?"
"You're asking for help like this. I'm not satisfied with you being like this."
Su Yuheng curled his lips, "Then what does the prince want?"
Huo Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, reached out and held her waist, and whispered: "You will know when the time comes. This is what you owe me."
Su Yuheng pushed him away: "You're so mysterious."
"Heng'er wants to resolve the Su family's affairs first these few days before going to look for the prince."
Huo Xingzhi sneered, "Your head is full of tricks."
The two were talking in the side room when there was movement at the north window again.
It’s Linglong.
"exquisite."
As soon as Su Yuheng finished speaking, Linglong came in from the window.
Seeing Su Yuheng in Huo Xingzhi's arms, he immediately turned around.
Huo Xingzhi seemed to feel something was wrong, so he helped Su Yuheng sit down and called Linglong again.
"If you have something to say, then tell me."
Linglong turned around, knelt in front of Su Yuheng, and told her everything she had just heard outside Liu's room.
Su Yuheng frowned and asked, "So, have Liu Anyu and Liu Yunli left the Su family now?"
Linglong shook her head: "I'm still packing my luggage. I should be returning to Yongzhou today."
Su Yuheng curled his lips and said, "We can't let them go."
She slowly approached Linglong and said in a cold voice, "Find a few assassins to follow us and strike in a quiet, secluded place."
"Kill Liu Yunli and leave Liu Anyu with a few breaths. Remember to have those killers tell Liu Anyu what I say."
Linglong frowned slightly: "Miss, this is what I mean."
"A counter-espionage plan." Huo Xingzhi laughed at the side.
"This king was right in choosing the right person."
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "The more true this is, the better. Remember, Liu Yunli cannot be spared."
Linglong understood.
Immediately clasped his fists: "Yes, Miss."
After Linglong left, she followed Liu Anyu and Liu Yunli's carriage with a few men in black.
In the carriage, Liu Anyu took out the box, counted all the gold, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Liu Yunli looked at him and said coldly: "Father, are you just going to let it go like this?"
Liu Anyu said, "The adopted daughter of the Su family has a special status and is favored by the Grand Emperor. You almost defiled her at the White Horse Temple. Now you are lucky to be able to return to Yongzhou alive."
Liu Yunli said: "It's clear that the White Horse Temple was planned by Liu. They were afraid that Su Yuheng would not want to marry me, so..."
"Okay." Liu Anyu put down the gold in his hand and looked at Liu Yunli.
"These things are enough for our family to spend for several years. If they are all used up, Liu Shi will have to continue to send money to our Liu family."
Liu Yunli said, "Father, what secret do you know about my aunt that made her willingly give you money?"
Liu Anyu grinned and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
The carriage gradually drove into the dense forest.
A breeze gently rolled up the carriage curtains. Liu Yunli looked outside and said, "Sometimes, some money cannot be accepted."
"What do you know?" Liu Anyu was a little impatient.
He put the gold into the box and was about to open the curtain of the carriage when he felt a chill coming towards him.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the horse suddenly roared and the two people in the carriage heard a scream.
"What's going on?" Liu Anyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and slashed down with a bloody sword.
In an instant, a large piece of flesh on his shoulder was cut off, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
"Father, there are assassins."
Liu Yunli quickly helped Liu Anyu up, and saw four or five black-clad assassins appear in front of the carriage.
The two of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly got off the carriage and ran in the opposite direction. But before they could take a few steps, a man in black holding a long sword swung it violently and cut Liu Yunli's neck.
"Yunli, my son!"
Liu Anyu was frightened and panicked. When he was about to grab Liu Yunli's body, the man in black approached step by step with a sword.
He retreated repeatedly, trembling and asking, "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
The man in black said coldly, "We are here to send you off on Madam's orders. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much."
"Only the dead can truly take away secrets."
The man in black swung the sword in his hand suddenly, and Liu Anyu instantly fell into a pool of blood.
The man in black said to the man in black next to him.
"Everyone is dead. Let's go back and report to the lady."
"Yes, Boss."
After the men in black finished speaking, they turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
After the men in black walked away, Liu Anyu, who was lying on the ground dying, opened his eyes and looked at the body of Liu Yunli beside him. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Liu Ruyan, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
