Chapter 284: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (31)
Without waiting for Su Yu to speak, Chunmei rejected this answer herself: "Forget it, the two of us are helpless, where can we escape to? It is better for us to stay in the palace and pray that the prince is safe."
Along with the news that Zhao Ce was in trouble, there was also news that Su Yu was under house arrest.
No one knows why Zhao Ce gave this order.
Su Yu knew something vaguely, bit her lip and lowered her head in silence, without any objection to the order.
"Girl, aren't you afraid?"
Chunmei was in a terrible state. She had just learned that something had happened to the prince, and as a result, they were confined to their courtyard again. Even though Chunmei had suffered a lot of shock during this period and her ability to withstand stress had greatly improved, she still couldn't help feeling panicked.
Su Yu clenched her wrists and pretended to be calm: "Zhao Ce must have his reasons for doing this."
Chunmei's emotions were calmed down with just one sentence: "Miss, you are right. The prince must have his considerations for doing this."
"Perhaps the prince is afraid that the young lady will be attacked by some blind villain when he is not at home, so he gave such an order on purpose to protect her." Chunmei comforted herself.
Su Yu glanced at her and said nothing.
"Chunmei, I'm a little tired."
Chunmei hurriedly said, "Then the girl, please get some sleep. I will be guarding outside."
The door closed slowly.
Su Yu seemed to finally be unable to hold back her emotions, and tears started to flow down her cheeks.
She murmured with tears in her eyes, "Is it because of me? Is it because I took your seal and caused you to be framed?"
The secret guard who was monitoring and protecting Su Yu in secret recorded this scene.
Su Yu glanced at the rooftop vaguely and cried even harder, her silent tears turning into sobs: "But I really have no choice. He threatened me with that incident. If I don't do what he said, he will tell you my secret."
When the vicious female supporting character disguises herself too well, or the protagonist is too stupid to find out the truth, in order to advance the plot, a link must be opened to tell the protagonist the truth in the simplest and clearest way.
Commonly known as the suicide truck.
Su Yu felt that it was time to do so.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Ce. I'm really too scared. I'm afraid that you will drive me away after you know about this, drive me out of the capital, and drive me back to Sujia Village."
"If you knew I wasn't your savior, you would definitely do this."
Su Yu covered her face with tears, sobbing: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, if, if you know what's going on in the afterlife, go find the person who really hurt you, he did all these things, I was forced to do them."
The eavesdropping secret guard was confused: ???
What the hell? Did a weird word get mixed in just now?
The Underworld knows...
If the gods knew, the prince is not dead yet! Even if Prince An dies, the prince will not die!
Fortunately, he heard an important piece of news. The girl was not the prince's savior. It was worth it for him to squat on the roof for so long.
We must tell the prince about this as soon as possible.
…
That night, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, with bursts of spring thunder, and dark wind and rain.
Su Yu was awakened by the lightning and thunder.
"Chunmei, why is it so noisy outside?"
Chunmei is not here, and the one on night watch today is another maid in the yard.
The maid's voice trembled: "My lady, His Royal Highness Prince An has led his soldiers into the mansion, saying that the evidence of the prince colluding with foreign enemies must be hidden in the mansion. Once it is found, the prince can be convicted."
My heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
Su Yu's face turned pale as she remembered the letter that man asked her to hide in Zhao Ce's study.
She murmured, "How could this happen?"
After Su Yu came to her senses, she got up in a hurry, put on some clothes casually and ran out.
The maid was startled: "Miss, where are you going?"
Seeing Su Yu rushing into the rain, the maid's face changed, and she picked up the umbrella from the corner and chased after her: "Miss, be careful not to catch a cold."
Normally, Su Yu was still under house arrest and could not go out at will, but the situation was urgent and the guards outside the courtyard had been transferred away, so no one stopped her.
Su Yu ran all the way to the study, and was soaked by the rain.
It was already night, but the lights were on here. Zhao Ce's study was in a mess. Several rolled-up papers rolled out from the door. They were soaked by the rain and the words on them were blurred.
Su Yu recognized at a glance that it was the paper on which she had practiced calligraphy.
The paper was soaked, and the person was also wet, with his hair sticking to his cheeks.
Su Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she met a pair of phoenix eyes as black as ink.
"Zhao Ce..." Her voice trembled.
The owner of the phoenix eyes looked at her, and her pupils shrank slightly. When she saw the maid running after her with an umbrella and a cloak, and putting the cloak on her and holding the umbrella, she slowly looked away.
"Be honest!"
Zhao Ce is still a prisoner, being escorted under the eaves by the guards brought by Zhao Sheng. He glanced coldly at the guards behind him.
Even though he is now behind bars, he cannot conceal his noble and domineering aura.
The guard's heart tightened and he lowered his head unconsciously.
Zhao Ce didn't even look at Su Yu again, as if he didn't want to see her, and his attitude was extremely cold.
The maid was frightened by the scene and shrank back: "Miss, what are you doing here? Let's go back quickly."
Su Yu ignored her and stared at Zhao Ce's profile as he turned away indifferently, her eyes quietly reddening.
The sound of rummaging through drawers in the house finally stopped.
Zhao Sheng walked out proudly holding a thin envelope, walked in front of Zhao Ce, and said excitedly: "Look what I found, the letter between the traitor Zhao Ce and the enemy generals, I will present it to my father, and see if you have anything to say."
Zhao Ce looked at him coldly, with the corners of his lips curled up in mockery: "I, Zhao Ce, am upright and honest, why would I be afraid of being framed by a treacherous villain like you."
Zhao Sheng sneered: "Save this for your father to tell."
The moment she saw Zhao Sheng, Su Yu's expression changed drastically: "It's you!"
Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows and shifted his attention away from Zhao Ce. He seemed to have just noticed Su Yu and smiled frivolously: "Oh, the little village girl is here too."
Zhao Ce's eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked at him as if he were a dead person.
Su Yu's eyes turned redder, not knowing whether it was out of guilt or anger. She walked over with a stern face, not daring to look at Zhao Ce's expression, and loudly asked Zhao Sheng: "Why did you lie to me?"
Zhao Sheng curled his lips: "When did I lie to you?"
Su Yu was furious: "You! You said you were just lending the seal for use!"
"Yes, I did use it and returned it to you. Did I lie to you?"
Su Yu's questioning was blocked, and she was so anxious that tears came out: "You... I didn't..."
Su Yu suddenly had an idea: "This letter is not from the enemy general. You gave it to me and asked me to put it in the prince's study!"
Zhao Sheng was not afraid at all: "Do you have any evidence?"
Su Yu was speechless.
Zhao Sheng seemed to have calculated that Su Yu had no evidence, and chuckled: "Little village girl, you should think before you speak. Even if I asked you to release the letter, have you ever thought about what crime it would be to frame the prince of the dynasty? As an accomplice, and without a family background, what will be your final fate?"
Su Yu’s face turned pale.
Zhao Sheng kindly told her the answer: "You will be executed by lingchi. Do you know what lingchi is? They will cut off your flesh piece by piece, with hundreds of cuts, and let you die in pain..."
"Have you said enough?"
Zhao Ce coldly interrupted his threatening words.
