Chapter 7 Old Case Revisited

A fierce look flashed in her eyes. The moment Su Yuejin felt the force, she turned around and dodged the person's hand.

As soon as she regained her footing, the latter was already standing in front of her.

Under the moonlight, the long sword exuding a cold light was pressed against her neck.

"The Queen has been in prison for a long time, so the old man must have handed over the things, right? Take the things out, and I will spare your life!"

The visitor was wearing a mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but the cruelty in his eyes was unfailing. I think if Su Yuejin didn't obey his orders, he would be killed by the man in black and cheated.

Su Yuejin knew that she was no match for the person in front of her, so she had to outsmart him this time.

Lowering her eyes, she glanced at her waist, and then asked suspiciously: "Something? What do you want from me? After all, Guo Shangshu has been friends with my father for many years, and I just sent some food to the prison.

, but it makes you confused?"

The man in black moved the knife in his hand, but within a moment of pain, Su Yuejin felt blood flowing down her neck.

Su Yuejin said coldly: "There is nothing on me. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself."

After a pause, the man in black raised his knife and cut off the sachet on Su Yuejin's body, but found that nothing fell.

"If you dare to stop me today, you probably have quite a lot of power behind you, but if you really attack Empress Daliang, I'm afraid you won't end up well, right?"

She looked at the man in black in front of her with a cold face, and as soon as she finished speaking, she took advantage of the man in front of her to think and was unprepared, and shouted directly.

"Someone is coming! There is an assassin!!"

The man in black was so shocked that he trembled all over. Presumably he was afraid of what Su Yuejin said just now, so he glared fiercely and flew away.

It wasn't until the figure of the person in front of her was hidden in the darkness that Su Yuejin breathed a sigh of relief.

When the soldiers who came in a hurry saw that it was the empress, they immediately excused themselves. Su Yuejin waved her hand slightly, informed the steward of the situation and asked him to take good care of Guo Tang, and then returned to the palace alone.

Inside Kunning Palace.

Su Yuejin closed the door and took out the jade buckle from the sole of her shoe.

After hearing Guo Tang's unfounded concern, Su Yuejin became a little wary.

I didn't expect the man in the dark to be so impatient. As soon as he went out, he was threatened by the man in black.

Fortunately, before going out, she put the jade buttons on the soles of her shoes, just in case.

Thinking of this, Su Yuejin had already placed the jade button in the secret compartment of the palace and arranged everything properly.

She unconsciously recalled the scene where she met Guo Tang today. In her previous life, Guo Tang died tragically in prison and was framed like the Su family. All the past events emerged before her eyes.

Su Yuejin clenched her fist deeply and tried to live a new life. She must not make the same mistakes again.

"Empress!"

The voice of the chamberlain sounded from outside the door, bringing Su Yuejin back from her distant thoughts.

She calmed down before speaking, "What's the matter?"

"Congratulations to your Majesty, today the emperor is looking at your Majesty's sign, and this servant is here to help your Majesty freshen up."

After the chamberlain opened the door, he knelt directly in front of Su Yuejin with a very respectful tone.

Xiao Shengyun?

A strange look flashed in her eyes, and Su Yuejin unconsciously thought of the night before returning to Kunning Palace.

"good."

What is supposed to come will always come.

Not long after bathing and changing clothes, the emperor's chariot arrived at the door of Kunning Palace.

Su Yuejin, who was dressed in red, stood at the door. The moment she met Xiao Shengyun's eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, making her look very gentle and generous.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."

She leaned down to salute, but unexpectedly she was interrupted first.

Warm palms wrapped her slightly cool hands, and a magnetic voice came from above her head.

"Jin'er, there's no need to be polite."

The man's eyes fell on Su Yuejin's face, he was focused and gentle, and then he led Su Yuejin towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is newly brewed tea. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

The man just nodded lightly, and then asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Jin'er went to Tianlao today?"

His seemingly plain words made Su Yuejin pause for a moment.

Although he soon returned to his normal appearance, Xiao Shengyun still noticed him.

He didn't expose it, there was a faint smile in his eyes.

"Yes, today I heard about the corruption of the Minister of Civil Affairs. I was a little shocked. Besides, my father has always had a good personal relationship with Guo Shangshu. When I learned that he has been imprisoned in Tianlao, I decided to go and have a look."

Speaking of this, Su Yuejin immediately said with great sadness: "Seeing Guo Shangshu's appearance today, I still feel that something is wrong about this corruption matter."

"Guo Shangshu is so loved by the people, not to mention being ranked among the three nobles, it is just a matter of time before he moves to a higher position. Corruption and bribery to get a high position, isn't it just shooting oneself in the foot?"

Xiao Shengyun didn't say anything, but he understood Su Yuejin's hint.

She wanted to draw her attention to Guo Tang's corruption, and felt that there was something hidden in it. She was thinking about the country and herself, but the harem did not interfere in government affairs. If such a bold statement was heard by an official, she would definitely be involved.

It’s not that I didn’t know what happened back then, it’s just that there were many things, and it doesn’t mean that just by sitting in the highest position, you can make the decision on everything.

Sometimes, the emperor can't help himself.

Frowning slightly hesitantly, Xiao Shengyun said nothing, seeming to be thinking about the corruption Su Yuejin mentioned.

Even without raising his eyes, he felt Su Yuejin's expectant gaze.

The burning gaze falling on him was so hard to ignore.

Finally, he nodded slightly and said with a chuckle: "Since Ji'er has said this, I also think it makes sense. The corruption matter is indeed very suspicious and needs to be tried again."

Xiao Shengyun's words made Su Yuejin feel happy.

If the corruption case can really be vindicated, it means that Guo Tang still has a chance to leave the prison in an upright manner.

At this time, inside Yikun Palace.

The sound of the teacup falling to the ground and shattering followed. Wei Shu still felt uncomfortable looking at the mess she had made.

She raised her hand and slapped the chamberlain who had just come to deliver the news.

The chamberlain fell to the ground, and his palm was pierced into the flesh by fragments, but he still dared not make a sound.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

The other chamberlains were all kneeling on the ground, and even their voices couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Calm down your anger? Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs in the past few days. Now that you have some time, you actually turned over that bitch's sign. Calm down your anger. How do you ask me to calm down your anger?"

"Your Majesty, if we are angry right now, we can only make that person happy. Why don't we think about how to make the Emperor pay attention to Your Majesty?"

The chamberlain, who was kneeling at his feet, had the courage to speak to comfort him.

This also calmed Wei Shu's original excitement.

After she calmed down for a while, she seemed to have thought of something, and touched her abdomen vaguely, with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Go, let the news out and send someone to tell the emperor that I have a stomachache and am very scared. I want the emperor to come over and have a look."

The chamberlain immediately understood what Wei Shu meant, got up directly, and hurriedly left Yikun Palace.

"Su Yuejin, even if the emperor turns over your name, I will still not let you get what you want. This relationship between us has only just begun!"
