Chapter 5 Kill her!

The next day, Su Youning sat on the soft bed, leaning against the low table with one hand on his chin, and looked out the window thoughtfully.

Recalling Jixiang's reply just now, Su Youning couldn't help but sigh when he learned the reason behind Zhang's tragic situation. Unexpectedly, Beihou's reputation as the God of War spread all over the capital, but in the end he became a treasonous minister with great achievements.

Su's father's crime of treason three years later may also be a victim of court disputes.

Maybe someone's power has been moved!
Maybe it offended someone who shouldn't be offended!

But no matter who this person is, Su Youning will definitely find him.

Now she gradually understands why Su Zhixing has repeatedly blocked her marriage with Shen Moli. He has been resentful towards it for a long time, and the Dongchang has been established for 12 years, and the Gongwei Division has the momentum to replace it.

The seemingly powerful Guard Division has long been under attack from both sides.

Su Zhixing is a speech officer, and he has the responsibility to persuade and remonstrate, but there is no way to mention the four words of treason.

The reason behind the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases is probably the dispute between Gongwei Division and Dongchang, or the result of the three-year dispute for the crown prince.

She is the daughter of the Su family, married to the commander of the guard department, it is not unreasonable for someone to get rid of the Su family in order to get rid of the support of the guard department.

Su Youning carefully recalled what happened in Kyoto afterwards.

In the last life, she divorced Shen Mo one year after Jiji, and two years later, the former emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne. The new emperor was young, and King Chuxiang was far away at the border and could not be regent.

Su Youning sighed secretly, blaming her for being so focused on Shen Moli back then, that's all she knew about the court situation.

"Miss, why have you been sighing for the past two days? Are you afraid of Mr. Zhang's affairs?"

Jixiang came in with snacks and saw Su Youning sighing again.

Su Youning turned her head, bent her eyebrows and shook her head.

"It's just that things are unpredictable."

Jixiang put the snacks on the low table and made a new pot of tea.

"Miss, we still have to take a carriage when we go out of the house."

Su Youning picked up the tea dregs and took a sip.

"Why?"

"I don't want you to meet that living king. I heard that corpses are brought out of his house every day. It was a fluke that you escaped last time."

Having said this, Ji Xiang moved closer to Su Youning and whispered.

"Do you think that living Hades will hold grudges? He knows that you are Master Su's daughter, just in case"

Su Youning put down the teacup, and poked Ji Xiang's forehead with his hand.

"Little girl scared?"

Seeing Jixiang pouted, Su Youning smiled.

"Don't be afraid, if he is as ruthless as rumored, as long as we don't meet him again, he won't be able to find us."

The living Hades that Jixiang was talking about was the Third Highness Chu Yu whom he met that day.

Su Youning knew what happened to him. The son of Concubine Yu, the emperor's first noble son after ascending the throne, should have had supreme glory.

It's a pity that he was killed when he was young, and Concubine Yu died and Chu Yu was disabled. After the year of his elephant dance, the emperor gave him King Yu and his residence, Prince Yu's Mansion.

Dead bodies are brought out of the house every day
Su Youning couldn't help but feel chills at the thought of this, no wonder she angered him when she said that the safety of the people was in danger.

During dinner, Su's father did not return home, Su Youning and Qin Su finished their dinner, talked with her for a while before returning to the wing to rest.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Su Youning woke up, she saw Jixiang and Ruyi's nervous faces.

"what happened?"

Ruyi couldn't hold back her words, and spoke anxiously.

"Miss, Ma'am, Sister Chunchan has come over and said that the master has not returned all night, please go over."

Su Youning felt cold all over, and the fear of Su's mansion being destroyed spontaneously arose.

"Go and find my mother."

Jixiang Ruyi hurriedly waited on Su Youning to change and freshen up.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the main courtyard of the Su Mansion.

Qin Su didn't sleep all night, with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, she paced back and forth in the room holding a handkerchief.

Su Youning came over and looked at Qin Su's appearance, feeling sour.

"mother."

Hearing the sound, Qin Su hurried over and grabbed Su Youning's hand.

"You Ning, your father hasn't come home overnight, he has never done this before."

Su Youning took Qin Su's hand, helped her to sit down, and comforted her softly.

"Perhaps there is something in the court, so don't worry."

After calming down, Su Youning ordered Ji Xiang.

"Auspicious, pick someone reliable to go to the palace gate, and don't make any noise."

Jixiang nodded and retreated.

Su Youning thought that Su Zhixing's failure to return overnight might have something to do with what she heard outside the study the day before yesterday.

Su Zhixing, as the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, would never ignore Zhang Feng's extermination of the family, and would definitely give his advice.

In the previous life, after Su Zhixing prevented her from marrying Shen Moli, she fell seriously ill, and she didn't know what happened during that time.

But at least one thing is certain, Su Zhixing's life in the palace is safe at this moment.

"Mother, you're so haggard, I'm afraid Dad will be sad when he comes back, you can take some soup and have a good rest first, I'm here."

Qin Su refused, but couldn't stand Su Youning's persuasion, so he had some ginseng soup and rested on the soft bed.

It wasn't until noon that the servant who had been dispatched hurried back and said that there was no news of Longyan's anger in the palace, but no one knew what Master Su was in the palace now.

All day long, everyone in the Su residence was worried, fearing that something would happen to the Patriarch.

Until nightfall, Su Zhixing still hadn't returned home.

Su Youning patiently persuaded Qin Su to have a meal to no avail, so he had to persuade him.

"Master Zhao Lian, who went with father, has returned to the residence. You have a meal. My daughter will go to the Zhao residence at night to inquire about the situation."

Qin Su panicked, and took Su Youning's hand.

"You can't go, beware of people who are interested in taking this matter, the Su Mansion can't make any changes."

Su Youning knew what Qin Su said was right, but she couldn't sleep peacefully without this trip.

"It's okay, Miss Zhao and I are close friends in the boudoir, who would dare to say that when we go out to visit friends."

Qin Su felt a little relieved when he heard this, and his worry about the master overcame his reason.

"Yes, just say to visit friends, you must be careful, go and come back quickly."

Su Youning changed into a pink dress that she didn't often wear, and put on a white cloak, fearing that it would be too ostentatious, and even Jixiang and Ruyi never took her out of the house.

After leaving the mansion, Su Youning hurried towards Zhao's mansion.

At night, the breeze blows, carrying a little heat from the day.

Dongchang has made a lot of moves in central Beijing recently. The long street has long since lost its former bustle. The doors of shops on both sides are closed, and only the lanterns in the corridor give off a dim light.

Su Youning went alone, unavoidably afraid, put on the hood on the cloak, lowered his head against the side of the road and quickened his pace.

Da da da!
The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, echoing on the dark and silent long street.

In the stillness of the night, the sound was really terrifying. Su Youning's hands trembled slightly, he grabbed the cloak tightly, subconsciously looked to both sides, and quickly hid in an alley on the right.

The sound of horseshoes gradually approached, Su Youning's heart beat faster, and subconsciously turned around to get away from the sound of horseshoes.

suddenly!

A black shadow fell from the roof above the alley and landed heavily in front of Su Youning.

Su Youning, who had never seen this scene before, screamed subconsciously.

Before the word ah could be uttered, the black shadow just now split into two, one of them quickly rushed up and covered Su Youning's mouth with one hand, pinched her neck with the other, and pressed her against the wall in the alley.

Su Youning's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled in fright.

Another black figure seemed to have fallen to the ground, speaking coldly and harshly.

"Zelan, kill her."
