325. Chapter 325 Life or death, obedience or disobedience depends on the heart


Chapter 325: Life or death, obedience is up to one's heart

"It's easy to take Su Fengyue's life. Killing can only be done with a nod of the head."

Ji Qingwu raised his head and stared at him and said: "But We can't just kill him so easily. With so many eyes watching, we need to provide solid and reliable evidence."

The corners of Zhao Mingyan's lips tightened. It's not that he didn't know the importance of the evidence, otherwise he wouldn't. Wouldn't risk coming here.

But sometimes, for an emperor, evidence is just the icing on the cake.

It would be good to kill him justifiably if he had evidence of guilt, but if he couldn't find it, killing him by force was also within the scope of his consideration.

Seeing the killing intent surging in his eyes, Ji Qingwu took another step closer and said, "What should I do if the censors are held accountable?"

"Accounted?"< br>
Zhao Mingyan said calmly: "The world will only know that Su Xiang was heartbroken after learning about the death of his beloved daughter. After returning home, he died suddenly of a heart attack."

"And King Yong, He is the one who witnesses.”

Ji Qingwu's hand holding his arm stiffened for a moment, and she looked at his cold side face.

In this short moment, Emperor Wu Su even thought of the reason.

She almost forgot that the identity of the person in front of her was different from hers. He was an emperor, he could live or die, and he could obey or rebel according to his heart.

If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.

Even if there is no evidence, Su Fengyue's death can be covered up.

However, Ji Qingwu didn't want Su Fengyue to die so hastily. He should bear no less of the infamy.

She let go of his arm and stood beside him, her tone soft but with a force that could not be ignored.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su has done too many evil things. Letting him die is an advantage for him. I think I can get the evidence of Prime Minister Su's collusion with the enemy and treason."

Zhao Mingyan's murderous heart calmed down in Ji Qingwu's clear eyes.

Ji Qingwu pulled his sleeve again and walked all the way to the backyard.

This time, he didn't refuse.

*

Backyard, entrance to the woodshed.

There were originally guards at the door, but they were all eliminated by Sanchuan Sihai.

They had already searched the house, and when they saw Ji Qingwu and Emperor Wu Su coming together, they both lowered their heads.

Ji Qingwu walked in first, and two candles were already lit in the room.

The wood and fodder were stacked aside in an orderly manner. A secret door appeared on the right wall, and the secret guards had discovered the secret.

Ji Qingwu held up a candlestick to illuminate the path under his feet. As soon as he entered the darkroom, there was an iron cage at the entrance.

She pulled the candlestick closer and took a closer look, and found that the cage was old and rusty, and the leather chain cuffs were messily spread out in the corner of the railing.

Going further inside, there is a large black and purple bed with a golden nanmu shelf beside the bed.

As soon as Ji Qingwu glanced at the things above, he stopped and did not move forward.

Sanchuan said at the door: "Master, my subordinates have searched the house and found the darkroom, but not the place where the letters were hidden, but there are some strange things in it."

Sihai's eyebrows He kept frowning, and when he heard the word "strange", he held his stomach and retched.

Before the nausea passed, he knelt down and said: "This subordinate is discourteous."

Zhao Mingyan walked in and walked all the way to the dark room. At a glance, he saw something on the west side. , the back view of standing holding a candlestick.

Ji Qingwu was familiar with his footsteps, and she said in a low voice: "How many women have there been in so many years?"

On the top shelf, there are various earrings hanging, only a single one, all of them are different. A stone of gold and jade can conceive the identity of the person wearing it.

Below, there are handkerchiefs of different styles.

Some of them have lost their color over time, but it is not difficult to see that they are all high-quality products with exquisite embroidery work, and they all have the ingenuity of a boudoir daughter.

But the veil was stained with blood.

He didn't need to think about what kind of blood it was.

Ji Qingwu originally thought that this was where Su Fengyue hid his letters of collaboration with the enemy and rebellion, but he did not expect that this was the place where his adultery and pleasure activities were recorded. Su Fengyue must be very proud of his "accomplishments" to keep all these things.

Look to the bottom

They are all tools for people to torture and have fun, they are lifelike and extremely cold.

Just looking at it made Ji Qingwu feel cold all over his body.

A big hand held her shoulder.

The other hand covered her eyes, turned her around, and held her in his arms, which was more like a silent relief.

Zhao Mingyan tightened her arms, not wanting her to see too many filthy things.

He took everything in his eyes and said: "Let's go out."

But Ji Qingwu didn't feel scared. She wanted to see everything in front of her clearly, and even wanted to use these things to see through all the evil deeds Su Fengyue had done.

She turned her head from Emperor Wu Su's arms and said, "I'm fine."

Ji Qingwu approached the shelf, squatted down, and looked at the bottom items one by one. Each one is engraved with a crescent moon pattern.

Same shape as the key she picked up.

But the space in these things is not enough to store letters.

At this time, Sihai came in and knelt down and said: "Master, there is news from the secret guard in the front hall. The prince and Su Xiang are fighting."

Ji Qingwu's eyes flashed.

Isn’t King Yong here to be friendly with Su Xiang, but to cause trouble?

It’s just that this is Su Fengyue’s house, how can King Yong get any benefits?

“How are things going now?”

Sihai said: "The prince was so angry that he punched Su Xiang several times and knocked Su Xiang to the ground, but he was quickly held down by the servants in the mansion."

This matter also went beyond Emperor Wu Su's control. It is expected that although King Yong has an unruly personality, he is not an impulsive person regardless of the consequences.

Infuriating Su Fengyue at this time, obviously something happened that was unbearable for him.

Zhao Mingyan asked: "What happened?"

Sihai replied: "I heard that Su Xiang took out an ornament, and the prince suddenly became emotional."
< br>

Ji Qingwu glanced at the earrings on the shelf. It seemed that apart from the ones in front of him, Su Fengyue also had some hidden treasures.

Su Xiang stood in front of King Yong and took out something that should belong to Princess Yong.

Ji Qingwu gritted his teeth.

She shouldn't have stopped Emperor Wu Su. Su Fengyue really deserved to die. Living for a moment longer would be an insult to the girl he had bullied.

Although Ji Qingwu was emotional, he was still calm-minded.

Su Xiang dared to let the servants of the palace detain the prince. There was nothing else he dared not do.

She looked back and said: "This matter can only be passed by Your Majesty."

Zhao Mingyan had already intended this and said: "The two of them will stay here to guard you. If anything happens, you will be informed immediately. Pass it to me."

Ji Qingwu nodded.

After Emperor Wu Su left, Sanchuan was watching outside, and Sihai was protecting Ji Qingwu.

Sihai's face is still pale now. He has seen bloody things, but never such dirty things.

He thought that the delicate Ji Qingwu would not be able to bear it, but she acted calmer than everyone else.

She continued to look at the room.

Ji Qingwu didn't believe that the key in her hand was just a decoration. She had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Su Xiang and the housekeeper, and she knew that this thing was extremely important to him.

It’s just that I don’t know where it can be used yet.

Ji Qingwu touched the wall and tapped it with his fingers, not missing every inch of his sight.
