Chapter 124 Died on the Spot
Everyone was confused.
We looked at each other, wondering what had happened during these twists and turns.
A thought suddenly occurred to Wanlu: "Could it be the young master?"
Upstairs in a private room, an elderly gentleman with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles sat at the table, but was in good spirits.
His square face exuded an air of authority and arrogance.
This is none other than the current emperor's maternal uncle, the Imperial Brother-in-Law Lu Chenzhou!
"Come in, you at the door," he said in a deep voice.
The guards were shocked, only then noticing Su Yun sneaking in through the door.
"How did he get in? He didn't make a sound!"
"Not only was there no movement, but my divine sense also failed to detect it!"
The guards were all elites, yet they found that even with their divine senses, they could not detect the child's figure.
He seemed to be immune to all spiritual power, as inconspicuous as an inanimate object.
If one is not extremely skilled in stealth, then one has mastered the control of spiritual power to the highest degree, without revealing even the slightest bit of it.
Only someone like the emperor's brother-in-law, who was directly facing the gate, could discover the traces through observation.
Su Yun didn't hide, pushed open the door and entered, saying with a smile, "Hello, Grandpa."
The emperor's brother-in-law frowned: "Whose child are you?"
"No way. Whose child are you? How dare you come to this place at such a young age!"
A servant nearby recognized the emblem on the hem of the garment: "He's a child from the Zhenyuan Marquis's family."
"Marquis Zhenyuan?" The emperor's brother-in-law exuded an imposing aura without anger. "So what if he's Marquis Zhenyuan? Even if he's just made a contribution, he's still at fault for not disciplining his child properly!"
"I'll definitely report him to the authorities later!"
Su Yun hissed, and with just two sentences, he had sacrificed his father.
He cut to the chase: "Grandpa, why did you believe such an obvious frame-up?"
The emperor's brother-in-law was somewhat surprised to hear this, and sat up slightly: "Young man, what have you figured out?"
Su Yun said, "Why did that person have to say it now, when Grandpa was coming? Their purpose is too obvious."
The emperor's brother-in-law nodded: "Yes, continue."
Su Yun said, "The silencing talisman is dead, but people are alive."
"If it really works, then every member of the imperial court should plant one, and no news of it will be leaked."
A slight smile appeared on the emperor's dignified face: "How old are you this year?"
Su Yun counted on her fingers: "Four years old!"
Almost there, almost there.
The emperor's brother-in-law nodded: "That's right. You came all the way here because it involves someone you know?"
"That man, or those two women?"
Su Yun said, "Two older sisters."
Without hesitation, the emperor's brother-in-law said, "Send word: release the girl."
"Bring that drunkard in."
Before long, the drunkard, who had sobered up considerably, was brought over.
He prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Excellency, I misspoke while drunk. Please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person!"
The emperor's brother-in-law didn't even look at him, but simply turned his head and asked, "Young man, do you know why I didn't ask?"
Su Yun, with his maxed-out reading comprehension skills, instantly grasped the question and answered, "Because the truth of the news is not important; preventing the news from spreading is more important."
The emperor's brother-in-law laughed heartily: "Not bad, you're a really good kid!"
"You're right. There are all sorts of rumors circulating in the royal family these days. Anyone who doesn't have ten stories made up behind their back is unworthy of their status!"
"Whether it's true or false doesn't matter; what matters is letting people know that talking nonsense can cost them their heads!"
The girls don't matter, and neither does the gossip about me.
These people usually have nothing to do with him, so killing a few to uphold the emperor's authority is perfectly normal.
But this kid is really interesting. He just let go of a few girls.
At his age, the emperor's brother-in-law has long since seen through everything and only cares about what's in his heart!
The attendant rushed back and was astonished to see an eighty-year-old man conversing fluently with a three-year-old child.
Moreover... the Emperor's brother-in-law was in a good mood today, and his words even contained a lot of hints and tests.
Even as the current emperor's uncle, he could not change the fact that he had no children.
Could it be... that the Emperor's brother-in-law has taken a liking to this child?
Do you want to adopt him as your godchild?
Su Yun asked curiously, "So... the person who instigated this was just let go?"
The emperor's brother-in-law turned his head: "Have you found out?"
The attendant immediately replied, "Not yet. There are no signs of him being manipulated."
The patron trembled with fear: "Sir, I know I was wrong!"
"I...I overheard Miss Wanlu's conversation and that's why I spoke carelessly after drinking."
"I know I was wrong. It's all Wanlu's fault. How dare she speak ill of the master outside!"
At this moment, Su Yun spoke: "Like waking from a dream."
hum!
A burst of pure energy instantly erupted, surging through the drinkers.
He jolted awake, completely sober.
The emperor's brother-in-law glanced at Su Yun with surprise, then turned his gaze to the jade slip in Su Yun's hand.
Su Yun asked, "Who did you hear talking about behind your back?"
The customer was taken aback: "I..."
Su Yun added, "I remember it vividly."
hum!
The drinker jolted awake again, all his memories flooding back: "I... I just heard a woman speak, and then someone else greeted her, calling her 'Miss Wanlu,' and that's when I realized what was happening!"
Su Yun looked up: "Grandpa..."
The emperor's brother-in-law nodded slightly: "Not bad."
It is not difficult for words to become law; most Confucian scholars can do it.
But at this age, things immediately become different.
Even if he possessed the academy's magical artifact, it would be impossible to achieve this without the support of literary energy.
Moreover, if it weren't the academy's prized possession, how could those old Confucian scholars have been willing to give away such a treasure?
"Even those old fogies have their eye on him, this kid is good."
The more he looked at Su Yun, the more satisfied he became. He was bold, intelligent, and resourceful.
It would be a terrible waste not to nurture this child.
The emperor's brother-in-law asked, "Would you be willing to be my grandson?"
Su Yun hissed. Calling someone "grandpa" was polite, but it sounded strange to his grandson.
He glanced at the system panel that had just popped up and decided to change the subject: "Grandpa, we've found out the situation, but is what he said true?"
hiss!
Those around gasped in shock, especially the drunkard whose body was mangled and bloodied; he was utterly horrified.
The matter is over, why are you bringing it up again?
The emperor's brother-in-law was silent for a moment: "I can take it as a child's innocent remark."
The attendant kept shaking his head: "Young master, please stop nagging!"
Su Yun asked bluntly, "Is it true?"
The emperor's brother-in-law could remain silent, but his dignity prevented him from lying: "It's true."
Su Yun smiled and said, "That's great."
Everyone around them inhaled all the cool air.
You're wholesaling this from the Nine Clans Wholesale Market!
The emperor's brother-in-law looked displeased and secretly gave him a low score.
This child's development is still misguided; it needs careful adjustment.
He said, "Let's leave it at that..."
Su Yun said, "How can it end here? I will treat Grandpa."
The emperor's brother-in-law grunted in response: "What did you say?"
"treat?"
His injury was fundamental, and he had consulted all sorts of renowned doctors, but to no avail.
For many years, there has been no cure, and some people even say that only by being reincarnated can one be completely transformed.
What gives a child the right to claim they can treat themselves?
The attendant hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Master, I heard that he was the one who cured the courtesan here last time, which caused quite a stir at the time."
"But because he was a child of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, no one dared to ask him for treatment."
The emperor's brother-in-law narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Is that so?"
The attendant said, "That's what people are saying, but there's no evidence to support it."
The emperor's brother-in-law became interested: Could this child cure illnesses?
He leaned forward: "Tell me, how do you treat it?"
Su Yun glanced around.
The emperor's brother-in-law laughed and said, "Interesting. You may all leave now."
The attendant hesitated.
The emperor's brother-in-law waved his hand: "What can a child do to me?"
The attendant then led everyone to drag the drinker out as well.
The emperor's brother-in-law said, "Alright, let me see how you intend to treat this—"
Su Yun had already stuffed the Resurrection Feather into his hand, and then the sword that Xiao Gu had transformed into stabbed down with a soft thud.
The child's hands were as fast as an imperial weapon, and he had previously received a hand speed buff.
Before the emperor's brother-in-law could react, he died on the spot.
