This is the main reason why he is willing to take all the blame and not betray Prime Minister Li. Su Yucheng has made a name for himself over the years, and he can't touch Su Yucheng at all right now.
He could only rely on Li Xiang to resolve this humiliation for him.
But now the Crown Prince says he will protect Su Yucheng, how can Vice Minister Su be willing to do that?
"He knows nothing and has no way of identifying anyone."
Xie Tingzhou didn't take it seriously. "It's just evidence. I'll just send him some. Over the years, I've listened to a lot of opera excerpts and I'm very good at writing plays. This little thing won't stump me."
Minister Su naturally didn't believe it; otherwise, the Crown Prince could have gone directly to Su Yucheng instead of coming to him.
However, the Crown Prince has already set his sights on Prime Minister Li and knows quite a bit about him, while Prime Minister Li is completely unaware of this.
The two sides clashed, one in the open and one in the shadows, with the one in the shadows clearly having the advantage.
Xie Tingzhou knew he would understand, so he added, "The Qin family daughter assassinated the Emperor, and the entire Qin family has been imprisoned, and their wealth has been confiscated."
Today, Madam Shen publicly divorced Prime Minister Li, and Helian Qing personally led a group to support his maternal grandmother.
Minister Su's eyes widened. He had heard about the Qin family's affairs, but he hadn't heard about what happened at the Charity Hall today.
If that's the case, would Helian Qing still be close to Prime Minister Li?
With both money and military power gone, how can anything be accomplished?
Seeing Xie Tingzhou walk away, Vice Minister Su immediately made his decision, "Your Highness, what should this humble subject do?"
Comparing the two, the Crown Prince seems to be the winner. Assessing the situation is human nature, and Minister Su believes that the one who can truly protect the Su family and kill Su Yucheng is the Crown Prince.
Xie Tingzhou replied calmly, "Keep dying."
Naturally, this death was meant to be a show for Li Heng. Vice Minister Su would be secretly imprisoned until the day of Li Heng's trial.
As early as when he planned this, he asked Ye Zhen to make a lifelike human skin mask, and then he found a death row inmate with a similar stature to Minister Su to deceive Li Heng.
Therefore, in Xie Tingzhou's heart, Ye Zhen deserved the most credit for this matter. Originally, he was not going to the Marquis's residence tonight, but thinking of this, he still took a detour and went in the direction of the Marquis's residence.
He turned so suddenly that Yu Nie almost couldn't turn properly and barely managed to keep his balance so he didn't fall off the roof.
He thought to himself, "So clingy, isn't he afraid of being disliked by the future Crown Princess? He has no ambition!"
Half an hour later.
The man in black stood before Li Heng and said, "Master, Vice Minister Su has committed suicide."
Li Heng was a suspicious person, and asked, "Is it confirmed to be him?"
After all, the Dali Temple was the Crown Prince's territory, and the Crown Prince had become suspicious of him.
The man in black nodded. "Our men examined the body; it was him."
Although Li Heng was suspicious, he had an information gap and was unaware that the Crown Prince had figured out most of his secrets.
Little did they know that Ye Zhen also possessed the ability to make human skin masks. Upon hearing confirmation from his subordinates, he waved his hand, signaling Ye Zhen to leave.
Not long after the person left, the door was gently pushed open again, and a graceful figure swayed into the room.
Li Heng glanced at it from his bed and ignored it.
Xie Jinyao, with a hint of grievance on her charming face, burrowed into his bed, but didn't dare sleep on Li Heng's side.
Instead, she was at the foot of the bed, holding Li Heng's feet close to her heart.
“Mingyue knows she was wrong. It’s all Mingyue’s fault for being careless and unprepared. She was overheard talking to the madam.”
"I've made the Prime Minister angry today, so Mingyue will warm his feet as an apology."
Actually, she was very happy to learn that Li Chenghe and Li Heng had severed ties.
She felt that she was indeed the chosen one. Li Chenghe and the others were gone, and the child in her womb was the Prime Minister's only bloodline.
It was because of this that she dared to come to Li Heng's bedroom tonight.
Li Heng saw through her thoughts at a glance, but was too lazy to expose them.
He did need the child in Xie Jinyao's womb, and if anyone was to blame for being overheard, it wasn't Xie Jinyao.
That was the Xiao family's courtyard.
Xiao Shi is incompetent and was completely unaware that Shen Shi had planted spies on her. Today, she has made such a huge fool of herself in public, and Li Heng has completely lost any feelings for Xiao Shi.
Xie Jinyao knew that Li Heng probably disliked Xiao Shi, so she massaged the sleep-inducing acupoints on Li Heng's feet.
“If the Prime Minister does not speak, then Mingyue will take it as the Prime Minister’s forgiveness. Mingyue is bold and would also like to ask the Prime Minister to forgive Madam Xiao, after all, she did it for the Prime Minister’s sake.”
Her plea wasn't sincere; it was just a clever way to please Li Heng. No man doesn't want to see harmony in his home.
Especially since Li Heng lost face so badly today because of family matters.
Xiao Shi certainly cannot die for the time being. After what happened today, Li Heng needs to show that he truly loves Xiao Shi in order to salvage his reputation.
Besides, with Xiao Shi gone, all that's left is his father-in-law and Xie Jinyao. After all, their relationship isn't exactly innocent, and if someone finds out, it'll be even more troublesome.
He readily agreed to Xie Jinyao's request.
Xie Jinyao assumed that she was gaining status because of her son, and boldly climbed over to Li Heng, "Prime Minister, will Mingyue's formal marriage banquet still be held?"
Fearing his objection, Xie Jinyao added another bargaining chip, "Mingyue has already sent an invitation to Cui Yihuan, and she has agreed to come to the banquet. Perhaps we can use her to deal with Ye Zhen."
Li Heng never considered canceling the banquet to officially recognize him as his wife.
At his age, he's being forced into a divorce. What is a divorce? It's equivalent to divorcing a husband.
Li Heng couldn't accept it. He was always the one who abandoned others, but Shen dared to abandon him. He was afraid that many people would laugh at him behind his back. "Do it, do it big."
He wanted to show the Shen family and all those who were laughing at him that even without the Shen family, Li Heng had offspring. He even wanted to invite Helian Qing to come and strengthen their relationship.
