Just as Su Jinruo's voice fell, Hua Chu Tian stopped all his movements and laid in front of Su Jinruo.
Su Jinruo quickly pinched her wrist, causing the imperial physician to flip his eyes open. He reached for her wrist, but the pulse had already stopped.
The imperial physician's expression changed as he looked carefully for an excuse.
Everyone looked at the situation over at their sides, Princess Xiwei asked: "What exactly happened? Why did she faint before even finishing her sentence?"
The imperial physician stood up and shook his head. He cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Emperor and the princess, this woman is both angry and uneasy. It's time to go back to heaven. "
"Heh …" Many of the young ladies of the Shangguan family were so scared that they covered their mouths, they looked at Hua Chuchu with their mouths agape, and then lowered their heads, not daring to look anymore.
"Dead?" The Old Emperor asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing that, Su Chi's heart started to loosen. He looked at Su Jinruo's face which was covered in cold sweat, but Su Jinruo suddenly raised his eyes, meeting his gaze. He revealed a strange smile, and stared straight at.
Su Jinruo stood up, and walked towards Su Chi step by step. Seeing her like that, Su Chi's eyelids twitched, could it be that he knew who was the mastermind behind this?
Su Jinruo stood by Su Chi's side. Seeing Su Chi's eyes flicker with a guilty look, he suddenly turned around and knelt down, and said to Old Emperor:
"Emperor, although this humble subject is just a small official of the capital, but I know from my heart that ever since this humble subject entered the dynasty, this humble subject has never harmed any citizens, and had even used my own strength to eradicate a bunch of bandits, and blessed the people of one side. Now, they have been framed, and almost lost their lives, they are so rampant, they actually dared to do evil and loyal things under the watch of the Emperor, and even disregarded the laws.
Su Jinruo had not finished speaking when she added another sentence. "At that time, because of the commotion that they have caused in the imperial court, Your Majesty, I am afraid that your River and Mountain Country will not be able to protect you either!"
Knowing that the latter half of his words were too important, Su Jinruo wisely chose not to speak of it.
Su Jinruo was also well aware that she was currently just a lowly fifth rank official, how could anyone else do anything because of her being framed.
At that time, when Su Chi spoke out, the crown prince would also help him out, passing the matter over with a few perfunctory words. Once the limelight had passed, everything would be peaceful once more.
But when she said that, it was different.
The objects were different.
Originally, it was only a framing aimed at her. But now, Su Jinruo had listed all the civil and military officials as the unknown victims.
The nature of the matter had changed considerably.
But Su Jinruo's goal was to remind the Old Emperor to investigate this matter strictly and investigate the mastermind.
As for whether or not the Old Emperor would be able to protect their land or their peace, she did not care.
Old Emperor had been the emperor for many years, how could she not hear Su Jinruo's hidden words?
He slammed the table in anger, his old eyes coldly sweeping over the crowd. Everyone kneeled down and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Long Yan.
Old Emperor's expression was overcast as he said: "Even a commoner woman can frame our beloved one as she pleases. Does our existence still exist in this world?!"
The empress hastened to add, "Please calm your anger, your majesty. That woman is a chess piece used by evil people. The most important thing right now is to find the mastermind, capture her, and punish her severely. Only then will she be able to deter those worried and kind villains!"
The crown prince raised his head and said, "Royal Father, your son will definitely find the mastermind behind this and mete out the harshest punishment to show the prestige of the imperial government and the might of the Royal Father!"
Su Chi lowered his head, and the hand supporting him on the ground unconsciously curled. How could he have guessed that the originally perfect situation would turn out like this!
If the woman succeeded in framing Su Jinruo, she would be 'furious' and die. At that time, even if Su Jinruo had 100 mouths, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
Yet she was still alive and well. And now, although Su Jinruo had indeed cleared the accusation, it was his turn to face the calamity!
Prime Minister Su opened his mouth: "Reporting to Emperor, this old official is willing to assist the crown prince, uncover the real culprit behind the scenes, and together with all the ministers and princes, we will protect my dignity and safety!"
All the officials said, "We are willing to assist the crown prince, to uncover the real culprit behind this, and to protect my dignity and safety!"
Su Jinruo's long eyelashes fluttered, covering the expression in her pair of deep eyes.
Shen Hancheng sat on the chair, looking lazy, her handsome face expressionless.
Prime Minister Su called out a hundred times, causing the hostility in his eyes to grow even stronger.
However, in the next moment, he suppressed it and hid that horrifying evil aura deep within his eyes.
If one didn't pay close attention, no one would notice the existence of that malicious intent.
Old Emperor looked as furious as ever. He should be angry if others were to look down on him like that.
He slapped the Dragon Throne and stood up, looking down at the ministers and their women kneeling on the ground with a cold voice, "If you can't find it, then take off your black muslin hats and scram back to your homeland. We don't need waste!"
The ministers lowered their heads even lower, "We shall do our best to uncover the real culprit!"
After exiting the palace, Su Chi looked up at the sun in the sky, as if he was a human again.
It was really strange, he was obviously the one who framed Su Jinruo, how could he be scared...
Su Jinruo walked behind Su Chi, her vermilion official's gown fluttered in the wind, and when Lv Ruo saw that he had come out, he immediately went to greet him.
Su Chi recognized Lv Ruo, the fairy-like beauty that Prime Minister Su had previously sent to Su Jinruo's side, and he had felt pity for her for quite a while.
If he had such a beautiful woman by his side, under the night sky, red jade would add fragrance.
Unfortunately, she was now Su Jinruo's servant.
Su Chi stopped in his tracks. Su Jinruo, who was behind him, went past him, and without even greeting him, directly passed by him. Su Chi's expression was slightly displeased as he said:
"Indeed, being an adult is different. Third Brother won't even greet you when he sees you, Eldest Brother."
She spoke as if she had greeted him in the past. Even if Su Jinruo had it, but he was sure that it would be rare …
But these were just words on the surface. Su Chi secretly mocked her on how ignorant she was after becoming an official. Su Jinruo was still able to hear it.
She stopped and looked back at Su Chi, smiled, and said:
With the beauty in front, Jinruo has merely missed your brother. Jinruo is here to keep you company, and I hope you won't be angry at Jinruo. In the future, Jinruo will definitely work hard to see your brother's existence.
"…"
What did it mean to strive so hard to see his existence? Was this saying that his existence was inferior to a mere slave?!
A fourth stage official could not even compare to a servant of a fifth stage official. Su Chi was so angered that he almost burst out laughing.
Su Chi snorted, "Since third brother cannot see that I am such a big brother, then why must big brother make things difficult for third brother? Third brother has the rank of fifth rank official, and just now, he managed to escape death in front of the Emperor.
You want to rely on your big brother's identity to teach her …
Su Jinruo smiled, she stared straight into Su Chi's eyes, and suddenly said: "Just now in the Inner Palace, that lady died at the wrong time, big brother, what do you think?"
At the mention of Hua Chuchu, Su Chi's breath tightened, but his expression was still calm. "Indeed, it's not the right time.
"Why are you mentioning her?" Su Jinruo lowered his head, as if vexed over why he had mentioned Hua Chu Tian.
Su Chi had been staring at him closely all along, but Su Jinruo suddenly raised his head, and smiled at him faintly: "It's because Third Brother thinks, she should have died even earlier."
He died before...
After Su Chi heard this, he suddenly felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water over his head, causing his heart to turn cold.
If he said this, it would be reasonable, because Hua Chu Tian was someone his mother had arranged.
He also gave the medicine that the victim wanted. It was normal that Hua Chu Tian would die early.
However, Hua Chu Tian did not die early, and even held on until Su Jinruo was cleared from the crime, and wanted to ask who the mastermind was.
It was strange in the first place. Unlike Su Jinruo, Su Jinruo, who wished for Hua Chuchu to live the most, told him at this moment that Hua Chuchu should have died even earlier!
All the developments exuded a strange aura.
Su Chi raised his eyes and looked at Su Jinruo, but Su Jinruo had already turned and left with Lv Ruo.
Under the sunlight, the vermilion robes and the green robes complemented each other, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene. Their slowly departing backs seemed carefree and relaxed.
Su Chi slowly retracted his fingers and stared at Su Jinruo with a ruthless killing intent.
Su Jinruo, you really cannot be left alive!
Lv Ruo and Su Jinruo got onto the carriage together, and sat in the carriage. Lv Ruo had a bunch of questions, but when he looked at Su Jinruo and saw that her eyes were closed, he did not ask anymore.
In the silence, Su Jinruo suddenly asked: "How is Baili Miyun?"
Before going to the Inner Palace, she had sent Baili Miyun out of the palace and handed him to Lv Ruo to take care of.
"Why is it you?"
"I can help you take back everything you have, but I have a condition."
"Why should I believe you?!"
"Because only I believe you."
"Miss Baili, this servant has already treated her wounds and secretly sent her back to the General's Estate." Lv Ruo thought about Baili Miyun's injuries, and could not help but sympathize, as she lowered her head and sighed.
"Young master, Lady Baili is really miserable. None of the skin on her body is good. Her skin is green and purple, and she has been pinched all over. That hand is even more terrible to look at, and it's covered with blood. It's all swollen now!"
How could someone not get swollen from stepping on top of a flagpole shoe …
Su Jinruo continued to keep his eyes closed, and said indifferently: "Tomorrow, when she comes, you will teach her the killer moves."
Lv Ruo replied: "Yes."
It seems that young master intends to nurture Miss Baili, Lv Ruo thought. She looked at the quiet Su Jinruo and probed: "Young master, how is today's palace banquet?"
