"As Your Highness had expected, the country leader and the others did want to lure Miss Su out of Xuan City and kill her."

"Mm, besides General Xiao's people, who else?"

The guard cupped his fists and said, "Yes … Your Highness. "

"Oh?"

Lu Chenming raised his eyebrows. He seemed to find it very interesting.

Even that slut was dragged in. It seemed that even if he didn't act, the Zhao Clan wouldn't be able to do anything to the big sister of the Su Clan.

"Your Highness, do we still need to continue watching?"

He smiled slightly, "Now it seems that there's no need. "You should pay more attention to Zhao Zheng's movements. In the entire Zhao Family, only he would want to completely exterminate the Su Family."

Pei Yan nodded his head and hesitated for a moment. Then, he said, "The scout has sent news. It seems like the country's Sky Sovereign has sent people to Qinghe County. As for what they are going to do, this subordinate does not know."

The youth tightened his grip on the portrait and took out a red ribbon to tie it. His movements were gentle and meticulous, but there was frost in his eyes.

"No matter what they want to do, they can make a big deal out of it at the critical moment."

"Your Highness's meaning is …" I hope that His Majesty knows that person from the Su Clan is still alive? "

Lu Chenming held the portrait and said thoughtfully, "Pei Yan, you said that royal father once doted on Xuan Fei, why would he listen to Fang Shi's slanderous words and truly believe that the child was a demon?"

The guard who was questioned was stunned, not knowing how to reply.

Since she had entered the palace, she had taken the top spot with six palaces.

No one from the three palaces and six courtyards could compare, but for some reason, His Majesty's attitude had turned cold when he learned that Xuan Fei was pregnant and that the baby in the harem was the son of the demon.

His Majesty did not feel any additional sadness until his children and his favorite concubine died in the sea of fire.

Was it really as heartless as a king?

"Your subordinate does not dare to make wild guesses about this matter."

Lu Chenming could not figure it out, so he waved his hand, "Go. Father will find out sooner or later, the Zhao Family will definitely harm them. If the Jiang Family can't take care of it, help them out secretly."

"Yes, your subordinate understands!"

The youth carefully placed the drawing in his hand in the drawer, seeming to be talking to himself. "Elder sister Su, that's all I can do."

Several days had passed since the assassination attempt on the outskirts of Xuan City.

Su Zhi counted the days with her fingers. There were no longer people looking for trouble in the shop, nor were there people from the government saying that she had committed a crime. As for the few Hu merchants in the prison, he didn't know how Lu Huan Zhi had dealt with them. In short, he had released them.

His days were truly free from worries. However, Su Zhi did not dare to relax her vigilance. After all the trouble she had caused, the person behind her could not possibly give up just because she had no results.

He was obviously plotting something in the dark for her little life.

The last time Lu Huan Zhi saved her, she hadn't had the chance to properly express her gratitude. That man loved to run to Flowerwood when he had nothing to do, but he hadn't come even once since he had returned.

Could it be that his personality had changed? Do you know how to restrain your temper?

Su Zhi had also visited Li Wuyou at Moyun Castle. He was indeed severely injured and had just woken up, yet he did not know anything.

Perhaps it was because of the severe brain injury, and he could not recall anything about that night's incident.

It was hard to say who had injured him. The only thing he could tell Su Zhi was that she had to be careful of everything.

After the last two twists and turns, the store's traffic had been greatly reduced.

When Li Yi mentioned this matter, he even gnashed his teeth in anger. He said that the opposite party, "The Hundred Flavors Clear Joyous", seized the opportunity to spread rumors, causing the flowers on the floor to become even more bitter.

When he went to the shop today, Elementary Scholar Li had rolled up his sleeves and was so angry that he wanted to go across the room and ruin the scene.

"Big Brother Li, calm down. If you go in again, I can't guarantee that I can save you."

Li Yi clenched his fist and smashed it onto the counter. He pointed at Hundred Flavors and scolded, "He, Yu Zhanhong, has gone too far!"

"The business these few days really isn't that good. How about this? There's a promotional event that's going on in the shop. The price will be reduced by a certain amount and even if the price isn't fully reduced, we'll give him a gift."

"That won't do. If it's like this, we have to thank each other."

Su Zhi made some rough calculations. She had earned more than ten thousand taels of silver in net profit since she had started operating the restaurant. Even if he gave them back to the old and new customers, he would not be able to keep many things like rice, grains, vegetables and fruits unless he sold them as soon as possible.

The more we buy, the higher the discount. In any case, we won't be able to reach the limit, so giving out a small piece of cake from the dessert shop isn't a big deal. It's not a big deal.

Li Yi drooped his head and said listlessly, "Little Su, it's best if you have a way. When you encounter a problem, you will think of a way to resolve it. I can't do it. Without you, this shop will collapse. "

Su Zhi smiled and comforted, "Big brother Li, don't say that. We are all part of this shop, we can't leave anyone. It's impossible for me to run such a large store all by myself. Everyone has their own duties, so this store can be run as usual.

"I'll be the accountant, not as hard as you guys."

"Mr. Accounts are very important. You have to be precise about your income and expenditure to know how profitable the store is. Brother Li did a good job." I think there are already some students preparing for this year's Autumn Festival. Brother Li, you should also want to go, you can do it! "

When Su Zhi changed the topic, Elementary Scholar Li's complexion turned better, "Right, I must go and try out this year's Imperial Examinations. What Little Su said is right!"

"Alright, then I wish Big Brother Li victory at the start!"

Li Yi received encouragement and was fully confident.

The two of them were discussing about the business of the shop when a dozen or so armed constables barged in. They had met the leader a few days ago. It had only been a short while, why was he here again?

"Su Zhi!" "Someone at the yamen hit the injustice drum and said that you kidnapped someone's child and you're coming with us!"

The two of them were confused by her words, and Su Zhi was even more confused. When did she kidnap another person's child?

"Your Lordship, could it be a misunderstanding? How could our family's Xiaosu kidnap a child? "I don't buy or sell human teeth."

The leading constable shrugged, "How should I know? We are only following orders. Alright, alright, let's go!"

Li Yi went up to stop them and explained again, "You must have made a mistake. The yamen can't come and arrest someone every two or three days!"

Although Su Zhi did not say much, she had already sensed that this was another trouble that had been premeditated. As expected, she could not relax her vigilance.

"Big Brother Li, it's fine. I'll go take a look. Maybe I really made a mistake. I'll be back in a while."

"But …"

The constable's patience was limited, as he pushed Su Zhi towards the door, "Let's go, let's go, there's no mistake from the county lord."

Li Yi could not stop her and could only watch as Su Zhi was taken away.

Qiu Hong happened to rush over to the shop, looking confused. "Manager Li, what's going on?" Why did the yamen come to arrest him again? "

Li Yi sighed with a frown and said, "They say that Little Su kidnapped their child and wants to go to the government to clarify things."

Qiu Hong was shocked. "What is this reason?" The boss only does small business, where can he kidnap other people's children? "

"Who knows? I feel that something is not right these few days. Spring is approaching and something is going on with Flowery Lou. Who knows, it might be behind this!"

However he put it, Qiu Hong also felt that it made sense. In the past, when there were jealous shops, the manager wouldn't make a big fuss. Su Zhi's wrist was high, so she could easily settle it. However, it was very clear that there were people who wanted to thoroughly defeat her in the recent few times, bringing along Hua Manlou and his sinister methods. No one knew who operated in the secret chamber.

"The shop is closed for the day, I want to go to the yamen to check on Little Su's condition."

Li Yi didn't have the mood to stay at Flower Mansion, so he made a gesture to follow them.

However, Qiu Hong stopped him. "No way. If the store is not opened, outsiders will think that Flower Mansion is in trouble, which is even more detrimental to the progress of the business."

Li Yi was a little worried, "You're right, but there must be someone watching over there. How about this, you go to Prince Yongning's residence to look for His Highness? "

"Alright, I'll go take a look. As long as Your Highness is here, the boss will be fine."

Not long after Qiu Hong entered the store, she was in a hurry to leave in the direction of the manor …
