After the emperor heard this, his face was very ugly.
Su Fengnuan looked at the emperor, thinking that anyone who knew about such a thing would not look good. After all, such a vicious method is really ruthless. If he got it, half of the sky in the capital of Southern Qi would collapse.
Su Che was shocked when he heard about it.
The emperor reached out and took Su Fengnuan's roster, glanced at it, and naturally saw Ding Xiang's name, which said bestowed by the emperor. He was silent for a moment, and said, "At the beginning, when the Su Mansion returned to Beijing, I heard that the number of servants I brought with me was very small, which was not suitable for the huge mansion of the General's Mansion. , this candidate was chosen by Feng Sheng. Unexpectedly, something like this happened today."
Su Fengnuan thought back then that both she and her mother thought that Feng Sheng was the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and he was a good person, but she didn't expect Feng Sheng to belong to Concubine Yue, so she was speechless for a moment.
The emperor said, "Can you find out who killed her?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at Ye Chang and Xu Yunchu, and felt that there was no real evidence, and it was not easy to say suspicious words now, so she shook her head and said, "Further investigation is required."
The emperor nodded, and said to Su Che, "Aiqing, I'm sorry for you, sending someone to Su's mansion is still harboring evil intentions."
Su Che quickly said, "It's not the emperor's fault, I've been back to Beijing for a few days, and I haven't noticed it yet."
The emperor said, "Madam Su has a kind heart. It is not easy to refuse people who are sent to Su's residence, and they are all accepted. Since something like this happened today, I will make the decision to send those who are sent to Su's residence to others." Just take it back. It just so happens that the queen mother, empress, and wives of all the mansions are here today."
Su Che took a look at Su Fengnuan, and seeing her wink, he cupped his hands and said, "I leave everything to the emperor."
The emperor sighed and said, "My country has not been stable since I sat down. Thirteen years ago, King Rong An and his concubine died in battle. Thirteen years later, there were ghosts and ghosts in Beijing, intending to bring disaster to the government." It really makes me feel that I have failed in my life as a king."
Su Che quickly said, "Your majesty, please don't say that. Your kind heart is a blessing to the people and subjects."
The emperor said, "A few days ago, Su Yatou and I brought up the matter of letting Prince Bei Zhou return to Northern Zhou in exchange for the person who colluded with Northern Zhou behind the back of Southern Qi. I have been thinking about it for the past two days. Aiqing, do you have any suggestions? "
Su Che didn't know about this, and looked at Su Fengnuan upon hearing this, "Is there such a thing?"
Su Fengnuan then talked about the negotiation with Chu Han, and then said, "The internal troubles in Southern Qi are as fierce as tigers, if they are not eradicated very early, one after another, one after another, how can the internal affairs prosper? During Chu Han's heyday, we still defeated Bei Zhou, but now that Chu Han's cold is worsening and his health is not good, detaining Chu Han is no more valuable than putting him back in Northern Zhou."
The emperor said, "Although he said so, would Chu Han tell the truth? Empty words are not enough."
Su Fengnuan said, "Since we have made a deal with him, it is natural to ask him to produce evidence to collect evidence."
Ye Chang said at this time, "The people behind it never imagined that you would let Chu Han go back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor, and catch him by surprise. Only then can we reverse our current passive situation."
Su Che said at this time, "I agree with what Xiaoshang said."
Xu Yunchu also said at this time, "Since the defeat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has suffered repeated blows, and his health has deteriorated. He is not as good as before. The princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are fighting openly and secretly for the throne. If Chu Han returns to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be afraid." It was another bloodbath. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was already defeated and its national strength declined. If the princes go to war, then the Northern Zhou’s national strength will decline again. Chu Han’s return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty is beneficial and harmless to us in the Southern Qi Dynasty."
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, "Forget it, I will let him go back to Northern Zhou."
Su Che said, "Since the emperor has decided, then we must find a legitimate reason."
The emperor looked at Su Fengnuan, "Su girl, do you have any good suggestions?"
Su Feng warmly said, "The emperor's heart is kind, and he loves the people like a son. The Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty have signed a contract, and the two countries have repaired. Now the King of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is seriously ill. He misses his beloved son Chu Han while he is ill. I have sent you several documents. Your sympathy." The love between father and son is deeply touched, and Chu Han is specially allowed to return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to visit the Northern Zhou King."
The emperor nodded, "It makes sense, but it's just a visit? When there is a visit, there is a return date."
Su Fengnuan said, "Your imperial decree should be written in this way first. After Chu Han returns to Northern Zhou, Northern Zhou will go to war. If he loses at that time, then naturally he doesn't have to come back. If he wins, he will definitely send two more brothers." Proton came to Nanqi to replace him."
The emperor laughed and said, "Su Yatou, thanks to the fact that you are a daughter, if you are a man, is there a place for others in this world?"
Su Fengnuan said, "It's an exaggeration for the emperor to praise me so much. I walk the bright road and do narrow and righteous things. When it comes to shady schemes, I really can't compare with the people behind me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be murdered everywhere now." gone."
The emperor nodded and said, "Well, you go to the palace with me, take the imperial edict yourself, and then take the imperial edict to trade with Chu Han."
Ye Chang said at this time, "She should stay in the Su residence to help Auntie, and I will accompany you into the palace to obtain the imperial decree."
The emperor said, "Don't you want to change the medicine for the second prince?"
Su Fengnuan said, "I have already taught Imperial Physician Meng, and then Imperial Physician Meng will just change the dressing for the second prince."
The emperor nodded, "Alright."
Several people discussed it properly, the emperor stood up, got up and left, Su Che sent the emperor out of the mansion on crutches.
A group of people left the painting hall in the main courtyard and came to the front hall.
The emperor handed the list to Koizumi, and told him, "Go and tell the queen mother, empress, and all the wives that because Lilac harbored evil intentions, the victim was killed. All the people in the mansion will be led back by others."
Koizumi responded and went immediately.
In the living room, the empress dowager, empress, Mrs. Su, the prime minister's wife and others were still chatting lively. Although the palace banquet had such incidents, everyone had the opportunity to get together, but they never got together to chat properly. Now, through Su In the place of the government, they talked happily.
When Koizumi came with the list, he reported the matter to the Queen Mother and Queen.
The Empress Dowager heard that the cloves that the emperor gave to the Su Mansion turned out to be someone who harbored evil intentions. If she hadn't been discovered, those people who came to the Su Mansion to enjoy the flowers would almost have suffered. His heart can be punished."
The queen's face was also very ugly, and she asked, "What about the Lilac man?"
Koizumi said, "He has been killed, and the murderer has yet to be thoroughly investigated."
The queen said, "I never expected that there is not a single day of peace in this capital. It's really hateful that something like this can happen when you come to Su's mansion to enjoy a begonia."
The wives were also terrified, thinking about it made them afraid, although they didn't know what kind of poison bone erosion was, but since they could kill people with the dispersing air when they melted into the charcoal fire, it can be seen that it is really vicious Be sure, all of them have changed their colors.
Although Mrs. Su knew about it earlier, she pretended to be shocked and asked, "Aside from Ding Xiang, is there anyone else in the house who was victimized?"
Koizumi said, "Go back to Madam, it is said that the loach guarding the warm shed in the mansion was poisoned, fortunately Miss Su saved it in time, otherwise she would have died. Earlier Miss Su was afraid of disturbing the elegant mood of the Empress Dowager, Empress and all the ladies, so she suppressed it." over this."
The Empress Dowager said, "This thief is really cruel, merciless, and extremely hateful." After she finished speaking, she looked around at the crowd and said, "General Su has done a lot for me in the Southern Qi Dynasty. Today's flower feast in the Su Manor is a good thing. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. In a murder case, the Ai family felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable. Even the people sent by the emperor acted in such a dark way, so that no one would follow suit, so that General Su could not recover from his wounds, and the Su mansion would not be quiet. The Ai family took the lead, and everyone Anyone who has sent people to the Su Mansion, take them back."
Everyone heard the words and agreed.
The queen mother asked again, "Where is the emperor?"
Koizumi said, "The emperor is going back to the palace."
The queen mother stood up and said to the queen, "Let's go back to the palace too."
The Queen nodded.
All the wives also stood up to bid farewell to Mrs. Su, and left the living room with the Queen Mother and Queen.
Mrs. Su sent everyone out of the mansion and came to the gate of the mansion. The emperor did not come in the jade chariot, but Ye Chang's carriage. The servants and servants sent by the imperial palace and various mansions followed their original masters and left Su Mansion.
The whole group left in a hurry, and the Su residence became much quieter, only a few old servants remained, and it seemed deserted for a while.
Mrs. Su watched everyone leave, turned her head and nodded Su Fengnuan's forehead, and said with a smile, "You did this very cleanly, have you found the person who killed Dingxiang?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "No."
Mrs. Su said, "It's really worrying."
Xu Yunchu did not leave immediately, and said to Mrs. Su, "Auntie, there is no need to worry. What happened to Dingxiang today is a disaster for the Su family, but it is also a good thing. Send these people away, and there will be no one in the future." Dare to send someone to the Su Mansion. Auntie will organize the Su Mansion well, so that there will be no more troubles."
Mrs. Su nodded, "That's true." After finishing speaking, she rubbed the space between her brows and said, "It's better to be quiet."
