Chapter 85 Two princes were assassinated! Danger! Danger! Danger
"This, this..." Wuguo stuttered and his eyes began to avoid. He was considering whether he should tell him about the two thousand taels of silver.
He glanced at Su Yue and found that she was playing with a small porcelain bottle. His pupils shrank in fear. The small porcelain bottle was filled with insects that eat human flesh and blood.
"I did want to go to Second Miss Su's room, but I touched... touched the wrong door, and when I saw Aunt Liu, I got bold and knocked her unconscious..."
Wuguo's mind was in turmoil, thinking that the worst outcome for angering the prime minister would be death, but if there was a glimmer of hope, he would still have two thousand taels of silver.
But if you anger this girl, not only will you lose your money, but you may also die without an intact body.
Taking all the above into consideration, he decided to stand on Su Yue's side. Maybe this girl could save his life.
“How dare you! Are you so bold?!” After hearing Wuguo’s words, Prime Minister Su stood up and walked to Wuguo’s side with an intimidating aura.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister, I had just knocked him unconscious when they came in. I didn't do anything."
Wuguo was panicking. It seemed that neither the father nor the daughter was easy to mess with!
"Father, I have no intention of interfering in this matter, but words are not enough. We need to ask a maid to come and see if this concubine has been violated."
Su Yue spoke, her tone indifferent as if she was really an outsider.
Prime Minister Su's eyes lit up. Yes, after saying so much, why not just ask the maid to come and check it out?
"Call the maid over." Prime Minister Su had a gloomy face and his eyes moved between Wuguo and Aunt Liu.
Soon, the old woman came. Aunt Liu was eager to prove her innocence, so she followed the old woman to the inner room.
After all, if I show any hesitation, the man who shares the bed with me will think that I am guilty and kill me.
"Your Excellency, my aunt has no symptoms of having sex." Soon, the old woman brought out my aunt Liu, and my aunt Liu's eyes were red. It was obvious that this method of physical examination was extremely humiliating.
Unexpectedly, both mother and daughter were examined by a middle-aged woman.
"Prime Minister..." When Aunt Liu heard that she was innocent, she changed the way she addressed him, and she shouted with such a heartbreaking tone.
Prime Minister Su felt reluctant, knowing that he had indeed misunderstood his aunt, and was about to say something.
"Prime Minister, if Wuguo hadn't walked into the wrong room, would our daughter's innocence be lost?"
Gu's tone was aggressive. When she heard Su Xin talking about finding someone to defame Yue's innocence, she was furious. However, Su Yue signaled her with her eyes to let her hold back.
Now that the concubine is innocent, shouldn't it be time to settle Su Xin's account?
"This..." Prime Minister Su looked at Gu. He had just taken off the cuckold, and he really hadn't thought about dealing with what Su Xin had done.
"If Yue's third uncle knew that Yue had been wronged, he would be very angry. You know, Qingzhi loves Yue the most."
Gu obviously saw Prime Minister Su's hesitation and directly mentioned her third brother Gu Qingzhi.
Prime Minister Su's expression changed. In recent times, Gu Qingzhi had received many good news, and the emperor was obviously very happy. If he came back, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would be given a title and reward.
"Su Xin, kneel down!" Prime Minister Su's face turned dark and he shouted in anger.
Tonight, I must give Gu and Su Yue a satisfactory explanation.
"Father, Xin'er knows she was wrong." Su Xin was terrified and fell to her knees.
Her beautiful eyes were immediately filled with tears. Since she had just confessed, she knew that she was doomed to be punished.
"You still know you're wrong? You're an unmarried girl, and you actually did such a despicable thing? You must be lucky!"
Prime Minister Su pointed at Su Xin, his whole body trembling, and he looked like he was really angry.
Su Yue didn't say a word from beginning to end. As a father, he was not angry when he heard Su Xin's confession. Instead, he was glad that he was not cuckolded.
Now it was only after my mother threatened my third uncle that I was prepared to get justice.
Because she saved her mother, Su Xin no longer resisted and directly accepted the punishment. No matter what Prime Minister Su said, she nodded and admitted her mistake.
In the end, because of his good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Su Xin was beaten with twenty boards and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days.
Because of some intentional or unintentional words of Su Yue, Wuguo was beaten with fifty boards and thrown out. However, Wuguo was a martial artist with a strong body, so fifty boards was not a big deal.
This time, Su Yue did not want to bring down Su Xin and her daughter, and even just helped Aunt Liu. This was not Su Yue's kindness.
Instead, she just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in her father's heart. Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would be a fatal blow to reveal that Su Xin was not his biological daughter.
It can even make Su Xin and her daughter powerless to fight back.
That night, Su Yue had just laid down when a familiar figure rushed into the room.
"Miss Su, not long after you left, the Third Prince and the Second Prince were attacked by bandits and suffered heavy casualties. The Third Prince was also seriously injured and was hidden in the mountains by my subordinates. You should hurry and follow me."
This person was none other than Ruofeng, but at this moment Ruofeng was also covered with knife wounds and looked extremely seriously injured.
The third prince was seriously injured this time, and he himself was seriously injured, so he had no time to find someone else.
"Xiao He, inform father that the two princes were assassinated in Yuanyin Temple, and ask him to quickly send people to rescue them."
Su Yue got up in a hurry, packed her things, took the elixir, and ran towards Yuanyin Temple with Ruofeng.
After all, he had received the emperor's order before, and during the period of the bet, he had to protect the life of the third prince.
Along the way, Su Yue was on edge. Who in the Dongyou Kingdom had the ability to assassinate two princes at the same time?
And most importantly, how could the whereabouts of the two princes be leaked so quickly?
Could it be, him?
Su Yue's mind suddenly flashed back to the man she had rescued during the day. Thinking of the knife wounds on the man's body, she seemed to have overlooked something extremely important.
The injured young man is none other than the prince of the Mo Kingdom, the enemy country of Dongyou Kingdom, Mo Jingchen!
Mo Jingchen was stabbed, so doesn't that mean he was being hunted?
Su Yue didn't know why the prince of the enemy country came to this place in this life. Maybe he had been here in the previous life, but she didn't meet him.
When I first met Mo Jingchen in my previous life, I had already become the queen, and they didn't have much interaction at that time.
And now, Su Yue realized that the person who could hunt down the prince of a country must not be an ordinary person.
The Emperor of Mo Kingdom has five princes, and Mo Jingchen is the third oldest. He is the son of the Queen, so he is legitimately made the Crown Prince. However, the position of Crown Prince is not so easy to sit on.
After all, every prince of the Mo Kingdom is extremely outstanding. In this case, everyone has his own ideas about the throne.
The people who were chasing Mo Jingchen were most likely sent by other princes of the Mo Kingdom.
Could it be that these people followed the trail to Yuanyin Temple, and happened to discover that the two princes of Dongyou Kingdom were also there, so they planned to catch them all in one fell swoop?
After all, Dongyou Kingdom and Mo Kingdom have never been on good terms. If the two princes were really eliminated, it would definitely be more useful to Mo Kingdom than killing a crown prince of its own country.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more frightened she became. She wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly over there. She had never thought that the road to Yuanyin Temple was so long!
