Xiao Yao frowned as well: "Xu Yu, what do you mean?"
His pride naturally led him to disapprove of such underhanded tricks.
Xu Yu explained, "Brother Xiao, I know your swordsmanship is divine, but if a real fight breaks out, it will be difficult to end the situation no matter who gets hurt. That's why I specially found this medicine to subdue the suspect first, and then report to the court for the Emperor to decide. Brother Xiao, you can rest assured that this medicine only prevents people from using their vital energy for a short period of time; it is not a deadly poison."
Although Xiao Yao was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything at this juncture.
Zu An said coldly, "Lord Xu, the Imperial Envoy is here. You made a decision on your own without consulting him, and you even used underhanded tricks from the martial arts world. Where do you put the laws of the court?"
Xu Yu cupped his hands in greeting to Lord Sang: "The reason I didn't inform you in advance is mainly because Yu Yanluo's identity is too special. If I'm not careful, it could cause turmoil and catastrophe in the entire Yunzhong County. In addition, the friendship between Lord Zu and Yu Yanluo is well known. I was worried that someone might act on emotion, so I acted first and informed you later. I hope you will understand, Lord Sang."
The expressions of the officials present were immediately very strange, because just as he had expected, Zu'an had been protecting Yu Yanluo from the very beginning. If the imperial envoy had been informed in advance, Yu Yanluo would probably have already taken precautions.
Just as Zu An was about to speak, Sang Hong interrupted him: "Lord Xu has indeed considered everything thoroughly."
Then he looked at Zu An and said, “Lord Zu, Madam Yu once saved you, so it’s only natural that you’re worried about her. However, this case involves a thousand-year-old blood feud between the human and demon races, so it cannot be taken lightly. We will investigate the truth and, if Madam Yu is innocent, we will naturally clear her name.”
Xu Yu secretly admired Sang Hong, who was indeed a cunning old fox. He casually attributed Zu An's rescue of Yu Yanluo to gratitude and loyalty, without making people think that he was lustful and opposed the law of the court. Even the emperor could not punish him for this afterward.
Furthermore, he quietly intervened in the case investigation, and any subsequent information could no longer be kept from him.
At this moment, Sang Hong secretly transmitted his voice to Zu An, sounding quite anxious: "Aunt, the blood feud between the human and demon factions, involving thousands of races, is not something anyone can resolve. You must not get involved. Even if you don't think about yourself, you must think about those people in the capital who are waiting for you to return!"
He knew this guy was usually carefree and irresponsible, but deep down he had an impulsive streak, and if he really got carried away, the consequences would be hard to handle.
He didn't want his daughter to become a widow before she was married, or his grandson to lose his father before he was even born.
Zuan's expression shifted between light and dark, clearly indicating that he was struggling intensely.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo parted her red lips slightly: "Lord Zu, please lower your head, I have something to say to you."
Knowing that she was unable to circulate her vital energy normally and could not transmit her voice in secret, Zu An lowered his head and moved closer.
"Come a little closer." Yu Yanluo beckoned to him, her voice soft and sweet.
Even though Sang Hong was not interested in women, his heart was pounding. This woman was indeed a seductive vixen. No wonder Zu An was bewitched by her.
Because of his daughter, he naturally felt somewhat displeased to see such a formidable rival as Yu Yanluo.
The other officials were more jealous. They watched as Yu Yanluo's red lips almost bit Zu'an's ear and twitched slightly. Although they were a little scared now that they knew she was Medusa, she was just too beautiful.
Countless people fantasize about her being so gentle and sweet, whispering love words to them, but now they can't believe they're watching her being so intimate with another man.
Many people regretted not speaking up for her earlier. So what if she's Medusa? Her father was human and married her, wasn't he?
