Chapter 283: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (30)
Zhao Sheng did not give up: "Don't forget that your father and brother are still in my hands."
Su Yu didn't care at all: "Then kill them, I just want the money."
If Su Dayou heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot and point at Su Yu's nose and call her an unfilial daughter.
Finally, Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and took out two silver bills from his pocket. He was even a little glad that he brought money with him when he came.
One hand pays the other hand receives the goods.
Noticing that Zhao Sheng was staring at the banknote in her hand, Su Yu quickly put it in her arms and said, "We agreed that I will help you steal the seal and you have to keep it a secret for me. Also, the prince will be back home tomorrow night, so you must return the seal to me before tomorrow night."
“It’s natural.”
Stroking the seal in his hand, Zhao Sheng curled his lips: "However, how can you guarantee that this seal is real, and not just something you randomly picked up to fool me?"
Su Yu didn't understand and looked at him strangely: "What are you trying to fool you with? I took it from the prince's study, so it must be real."
Zhao Sheng knew that this country girl would not dare to lie to him, and he said that on purpose.
"Nothing can be proved by empty words."
Su Yu glared at him unhappily. Her porcelain-white face had grown some fleshier after living in the palace. It was dazzlingly white in the moonlight. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and even when she glared at him fiercely, she didn't look ferocious, which was quite interesting.
Apart from anything else, this country girl is really outstanding in appearance.
"No wonder a man like Zhao Ce is willing to make you his concubine." Zhao Sheng sighed, and suddenly looked at her and said, "Little village girl, when Zhao Ce falls, how about you follow me?"
Su Yu said viciously: "You are the country girl!"
Zhao Sheng: “…”
Zhao Sheng sneered. Under the pale moonlight, his handsome yet evil face looked like a ghost. "Alright, I won't argue with you. As long as you do one more thing for me, I will believe that this seal is real."
Su Yu was dissatisfied: "You didn't say at that time that I had to help you do one more thing."
Zhao Sheng was very shameless: "It's not too late to say it now."
"you!"
The moonlight disappeared into the clouds, and the bamboo forest was pitch black. A gust of wind blew, and the rustling sound was like the cry of ghosts.
Su Yu walked out of the bamboo forest cursing and holding a letter.
"Hide this letter in Zhao Ce's study, somewhere hidden. If it is discovered, our agreement will be void."
Zhao Sheng's voice floated from behind.
Su Yu gritted her teeth and said, "I know."
Soon, the only sound left in the bamboo forest was the rustling of bamboo leaves, as if no one had been there.
After a while, two people slowly walked out. If Su Yu was here, she would find that one of them was Zhao Ce, who would not return home until tomorrow night.
Zhao Ce seemed to be thinking about something, and turned to ask the person next to him: "Did you hear them talking about secrets just now?"
Is this so-called secret the weakness of Su Yu?
The secret guard was taciturn and would only answer when his master asked: "Yes."
Zhao Ce's face was as gloomy as water.
What secret of Su Yu is there that he doesn't know, but Zhao Sheng, an outsider, knows it?
There was a hint of murderous intent in her phoenix eyes. As expected, she should have killed Zhao Sheng right here.
★The next day, Su Yu was surprised to find that the new-looking maid who served her tea yesterday had disappeared.
Chunmei: "Miss, you are talking about Xing'er, she was transferred away by the housekeeper."
Su Yu was stunned: "Then she really came and left quickly."
At this time, a wronged soul in the dungeon of the palace, Xing'er: ...
"Your Highness, the maidservant who looked suspicious in the young lady's yard died of poison. I found this in her room."
The secret guard handed over a very ugly voodoo doll.
The voodoo doll is made of cloth. Its facial features are very simple, but its clothes are extremely gorgeous. There are a few words embroidered on the bright yellow cloth, which are the emperor's birth date.
Zhao Ce took it with a gloomy expression. Zhao Sheng really thought highly of him. One thing led to another. If he hadn't been careful, he would have been caught off guard.
"Send it back to where it came from and bury it in the garden of Prince An's mansion."
Zhao Ce threw the voodoo doll back to the secret guard and his eyes fell on the letter on the table.
It was the letter that Zhao Sheng gave to Su Yu yesterday, which was secretly replaced by the secret guard.
The letter contained a "correspondence" between him and the enemy general. The words revealed true feelings and some secret but harmless enemy secrets. The tone was familiar, as if they had communicated countless times.
The authenticity doesn't seem made up.
Could it be that... Zhao Sheng really colluded with foreign enemies in order to frame him?
Stupid and selfish!
…
When Su Yu discovered that the task progress bar fluctuated greatly, she knew that her meeting with Prince An in the bamboo forest must have happened under the nose of the male protagonist.
Sure enough, as soon as she went back to bed, the letter placed on the bedside table was replaced.
Out of curiosity, Su Yu opened it and took a look, wanting to know what the male protagonist would use as a replacement.
The moment I saw the content, my face turned into a question mark.
Love letter? Or a love letter written to Zhao Ce in her own handwriting? Such corny and direct words, could she really say them out loud... It seemed like she could.
The reason why it is not the more popular poetry genre nowadays, namely love poetry, is probably because Zhao Ce also understands that with her cultural level, it is difficult for her to recite poetry, let alone write it.
What happened next was quite unexpected.
The Prince of Jin's mansion was suddenly surrounded by soldiers. It was rumored that the Prince of Jin's collusion with foreign enemies was exposed, and the emperor was furious. Zhao Ce was dismissed from his post and temporarily detained in the Zongzheng Temple to be dealt with after the case was investigated.
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Shu in the palace almost fainted, and she forced herself to kneel outside the imperial study to plead for her son.
There was panic throughout the palace.
Chunmei was so anxious that she was spinning around: "How could this happen? The prince must have been wronged, what should we do?"
The village girl she served was about to become a concubine, and she was about to become a top maid in the mansion, so how could this suddenly happen?
Turning around, Chunmei saw that the village girl was still in a daze, and suddenly she felt like the eunuch was anxious even though the emperor was not.
"Girl, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
Su Yu seemed to have just reacted, and her voice was dazed: "Zhao Ce was arrested?"
"Yes, the prince was arrested. I heard that it was Prince An who discovered that the prince was colluding with foreign enemies, and presented the evidence to the emperor. The evidence also had the prince's personal seal on it, and the news spread throughout the capital."
Su Yu tightened her hands at her side: "How could this happen?"
"Yes, how could this happen?" Chunmei gritted her teeth, "The prince must have been framed. If the prince can survive this disaster and catch the real culprit, he must be torn into pieces!"
Su Yu trembled.
Chunmei sighed after being annoyed. It was useless for her to be anxious. If the prince couldn't get over this hurdle, no one in the palace would have a good ending, including her and Su Yu.
Why do they have such a miserable life?
Suddenly, Chunmei became bolder and said, "Girl, let's run away."
