After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 539 Su Lingyue's Determination

Everyone gasped.

"Say it again, what did she say?!"

The reporting imperial guard soldier looked up at the emperor, confirmed the emperor's expression, then quickly lowered his eyes and repeated what he had just said.

"Prince Su's wife knelt in front of the South Gate, holding the bloody clothes in her hands, and said that the Queen and Prime Minister Su had joined forces to assassinate Your Majesty's brothers and asked Your Majesty to make the decision."

Tutor He already knew Su Lingyue's plan from the letter and was not surprised.

Jiang Fu, on the other hand, was very nervous.

Yue'er didn't tell him what happened.

Jiang Xiuyuan shook his head at Jiang Fu, and Jiang Fu immediately understood what his son meant.

But at the moment, I don’t know the whole story, so it’s not appropriate to interrupt rashly. I can only wait and see what happens.

The emperor turned his gaze to Su Heng.

"Prime Minister Su, is this true?"

Su Heng frowned for a moment, then relaxed his brows. He calmly bowed and replied, "I am not aware of this matter. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Naturally, the emperor didn't believe his words.

He and Xiao Yu are incompatible, and the emperor knows it. It is most likely that he did it.

It wouldn't matter if Xiao Yu died.

However, the Princess of Su knelt at the South Gate and directly said that the Queen and her uncle had murdered the Emperor's brothers and sisters. If the Emperor ignored it, he would probably be accused of murdering his brothers and sisters.

It was Su Heng who did it again, so he, the emperor, had to clean up the mess for him.

The emperor had a cold face and ordered the imperial guards unhappily, "Pass on my words. Have Han Feng bring the man to the palace. I will personally interrogate him."

"Yes." The soldier turned and strode away.

When Qin Wanning found Su Lingyue at the South Gate, she was kneeling in front of the South Gate, wearing a plain white dress, her eyes cold and determined as she looked towards the city gate ahead.

Although it was bright outside, the thing that was most abundant in this bustling place like the capital was people.

In their boring lives, they naturally had to come and see such shocking news as their own daughter suing her father and the princess suing the queen.

At this time, a large group of people gathered behind Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue held the two blood-stained shirts in her hands and said loudly, "The current empress, in collusion with her brother Su Heng, plotted to murder your majesty's brother, Prince Su Xiao Yu. Your majesty, please consider the relationship between brothers and give justice to the prince."

"The current Empress, in collusion with her brother Su Heng, plotted to murder your Majesty's brother, Prince Su Xiao Yu. Your Majesty, please consider the bond between brothers and grant justice to the prince."

……

Every word, every sound, is heartbreaking.

She doesn't mind making the secrets of royal scandals public.

Emperor Xiao Ye was the winner of the battle for the throne among five princes. The other princes who participated in the battle were all killed. Now he also hates others criticizing him for this.

No matter what, the emperor must punish the queen and Su Heng today, otherwise he will be branded as a cruel brother.

If Xiao Yu could live a few more days, he would be more at ease in the remaining days.

"I didn't expect it! This queen actually harmed her own brother-in-law."

"He's Prime Minister Su's son-in-law, yet he doesn't care about his own daughter's life or death and plots to murder the current prince!"

"To murder the prince, wouldn't that mean the extermination of all nine generations of the clan?"

"Who knows! Prince Su has been ill for so many years and may not live long. Would the emperor kill his wife and ministers for a dying brother?"

……

There was a lot of discussion around.

Qin Wanning looked at Su Lingyue who was kneeling on the stone bricks, covering her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent herself from making any sound.

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Su Lingyue had been married for so long, and she had thought that by marrying into the prince's mansion, she would at least be able to leave the Duke's Mansion and live a more comfortable life. However, she did not expect that she would still be facing a life of walking on thin ice.

But she could do nothing for Yue'er and could only watch from the side.

At this moment, Han Feng came out of the city and came in front of Su Lingyue. He suppressed the barely perceptible arc of his mouth and said, "Princess, His Majesty summons you to the main hall. Please come in!"

Su Lingyue's face was calm. She looked up at Han Feng and said in a deep voice, "Please ask Commander Han to tell His Majesty that the murderer is the current Empress and a minister trusted by His Majesty. I do not trust Your Majesty. If Your Majesty really wants to make a decision on his brother's behalf, please ask the Imperial Censor of the Three Departments to come out and inspect the evidence in public. If Your Majesty does not agree, I will kneel down and not get up."

Han Feng looked at Su Lingyue kneeling on the ground, and suddenly, a sneer appeared on his lips, "Princess, please wait a moment, I will go right away."

Whether it is the emperor, the empress, Su Heng, or Xiao Yu.

Anyone can die.

He just happened to benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam.

Han Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Su Lingyue meaningfully, and turned back.

Back in the main hall, Han Feng told Su Lingyue truthfully about his request.

The emperor was furious and slammed the throne, "Excellent! How dare you disobey the imperial edict and refuse to listen to my words!"

Although he also wanted to settle accounts with Su Heng, Su Heng knew too much. Even if he wanted to interrogate him, it would not be in front of the South Gate.

He looked at Han Feng, his eyes full of majesty, and suppressed the anger that was about to erupt and ordered: "Bring the person in directly!"

The ministers have been in the court for many years and have long learned to read people's expressions.

Everyone was silent, some of them stole glances at Su Heng, wanting to see his reaction.

If they act rashly and the Princess of Su fails to sue them, they will be implicated and Su Heng will bear a grudge against them.

Su Lingyue raised her eyes and was not surprised to see Han Feng again.

She looked at the extra soldier behind Han Feng. Su Lingyue held the bloody shirt with one hand and reached into the sleeve with the other hand.

Han Feng glared at Su Lingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a voice that was full of pressure that could not be refused, "Princess, His Majesty has summoned you to an audience. It is not up to you to go or not. Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and the soldiers behind him stepped forward and surrounded Su Lingyue.

"Yue'er!"

Qin Wanning pushed away the person blocking her way with all her strength. Seeing this, Qiu Wen and Chun Yan also helped to push the person away.

After some effort, he finally got through the crowd and came to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue looked at Han Feng, calmly took out a dagger from her sleeve and put it against her neck.

"Yue'er, what are you doing?" Qin Wanning exclaimed and was about to come over to snatch the dagger from Su Lingyue's hand, but was stopped by the surrounding imperial guards.

Hearing her voice, Su Lingyue turned around and looked at her, without a trace of panic or fear in his eyes.

Su Lingyue smiled at Qin Wanning and said, "Wanning, go back."

Then he ordered Chunyan and Qiuwen: "Take your young lady back home. She is pregnant. If something happens to her, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

After saying that, she stopped looking at Qin Wanning and looked up at Han Feng with a determined look.

"Commander Han, His Majesty asked you to bring a living person in. If it turns out to be a corpse, I wonder if you can bear the responsibility?"

As he spoke, the dagger flashing with a cold light pressed into his neck. Immediately, a streak of bright red flowed down his fair and delicate neck, staining the collar of his plain clothes red.

Han Feng stared at the blood flowing down and frowned.

"Yue'er!" Qin Wanning struggled to get rid of the two maids, her voice full of fear.

Qiu Wen knew that the matter was of great importance.

It was Su Lingyue and Qin Wanning who bought her and Chunyan together. She was grateful to Su Lingyue in her heart.

Naturally, she also listened to Su Lingyue's words.

Qiu Wenqiang pulled Qin Wanning to his side and whispered in her ear, "Madam, you can't help the princess like this. Why don't you think of other ways?"

After hearing Qiu Wen's words, Qin Wanning calmed down in an instant and stopped struggling.

She suppressed her fear, looked at Han Feng, forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Han, you are just a messenger. If you force her to get into trouble, not only Prince Su's Mansion, but also the Jiang Mansion, the He Mansion, and the Zhenxi General's Mansion will be in wrath. Are you sure you can bear all the wrath?"

Qin Wanning stared at Han Feng with sharp eyes.

Han Feng's originally heavy expression suddenly relaxed, and he said with a carefree smile: "I am only here to convey His Majesty's words, and I will naturally convey the princess' words to His Majesty as well."

After saying this, his face darkened again and he turned to enter the imperial city.

Qin Wan squatted beside Su Lingyue, snatched the dagger from Su Lingyue's hand, and covered the wound on Su Lingyue's neck with a handkerchief.

"Go buy some medicine for the injuries."

She gave orders to Chunyan with red eyes, without looking at Su Lingyue.

"Chunyan, it's not necessary." Su Lingyue raised her hand and held Qin Wanning's hand, and said softly: "Wanning, this injury cannot be cured. This is my determination. You go back!"

"But Yue'er..."

She knew that this was what Su Lingyue had to do, and she also knew that she could not help much, but she still selfishly wanted Su Lingyue to give up.

Seeing Qin Wanning's worry, Su Lingyue comforted her softly: "Don't worry, for the sake of the prince and you, I will cherish my life."

Qin Wanning then left with the support of Chunyan and Qiu Wen.

In the court, Imperial Tutor He was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the assassination of Prince Su already implicates the Empress and Prime Minister Su. If Prince Su's wife were to encounter another accident, it would only bring harm to Your Majesty. The people are already aware of this matter. Why not send the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court to investigate? Just be careful what you say in front of the people."

Jiang Fu took the opportunity to agree: "Prince Su is your majesty's brother. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that the people will also talk about it."

The pampered young lady dared to die for Xiao Yu.

"Duan Xu, Zhang Zhong, you two go over there."

The emperor felt a little surprised, but he also wanted to know the whole story and what the queen and Su Heng would do.
