C623 Return of the king

I have said that if the Emperor likes you, you will be rich from then on and enjoy your wealth forever; but I will also tell you that the wealth of the Emperor is not so easily obtainable, and besides, you are a man of ulterior motives, and the Emperor will not keep such a man by his side, even if your face is almost the same as the face of another. "

"…" Su Han smiled as he pursed his lips. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. She didn't say anything as she thought to herself, How did this county magistrate know all this?

Lian Ruyue saw her expression waver, and knew that her heart had begun to waver, so she threw out her last strike:

You were originally the most ordinary person in the world, but because of the natural cinnabar mark on your forehead, everyone in the village thought you were a monster. Your parents and sister-in-law despised you, and would beat you up or scold you, and only your brother treated you well. However, your sister-in-law had a quarrel with your brother.

What...

She even knew this. When Su He Xiao heard this, he could no longer continue to pretend. A flash of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You, how did you know so clearly?"

"In fact, the moment the Emperor's eyes looked at you, I started investigating you. Feng Qianyue thought that it would be extremely difficult, but I instantly figured it out. It was just too simple." Lian Ru Yue pouted. "Because when you were singing, the remaining words of the Red Lotus Root Starch had the accent of Xiangbei, so I decided that you were from Xiangbei and sent my men to investigate in secret. And because of the unique cinnabar mole on your forehead, it would be too easy to find you."

Lian Ruyue said as she took out a dagger. Seeing this, Su Han smiled and tried to sit up, but the wound on her back hurt so much that she almost lost her breath.

This dagger belonged to her brother. She had secretly bought it for him after she had sold it for money on the mountain. She said that her brother was working outside and had used this good dagger to defend himself. She had even carved two horizontal lines on the hilt of the dagger.

But unfortunately, all of your family members are dead. Your brother is dead too, and this dagger was even found by my subordinates after a great deal of effort. It was hard to find it in the ashes. Lian Ru Yue sighed and gave the dagger to Su Han Xiao.

"What? They're all dead? How, how is that possible? The Duke of Xiao told me that as long as I obediently followed him, he would arrange for my brother to work at the yamen. Large tears fell from Su Han's eyes. The most important person in her life was her brother.

"Su Han Xiao, you are too naive. The Fourth Prince and Duke of Xiao want to send you to the Emperor's side. For the sake of your background not being discovered, why would they keep your family here?"

Su Han smiled and held the dagger tightly. Because of the pain in her body, she couldn't even cry. She could only try her best to hold it in.

If it weren't for the fact that she had gone to Northern Xiang in her previous life, that Feng Qianyue had listened to the drama in the Northern Xiang, and had discovered that there were some words that had a unique pronunciation within their voices, she wouldn't have discovered the pronunciation of the word 'cripple' in Su Hanyue's voice, and she wouldn't have discovered Su Hanyue's identity so quickly.

Lian Fu Yue knew that something that Su Han Xiao had been insisting on had already collapsed.

"However, if you are willing to do as I say, not only can I guarantee that I won't expose you, I can also help you clear your suspicion completely so that you can enjoy the coming prosperity. How about it?"

She had always listened to them and listened to them. She did not know what purpose this county lord had in coming, she did not know what to do, and they did not tell her that such an aggressive little county lord would suddenly appear, and that he knew her like the back of his hand.

"The emperor is coming …" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

Lian Ruyue frowned; she snatched the dagger from her hand and said:

"Alright, since you are in such a difficult situation, I won't force you. However, after I leave this room, you won't have another chance. You should just lie on this luxurious bed for a while, because there won't be any later. I'll hand this dagger over to the Emperor. " Lian Ruyue did not stay any longer. She decisively turned around and walked outside.

"Wait!" When Lian Ruyue placed her hand on the door, Su He couldn't help but call out.

Lian Ruyue's lips revealed a trace of a smile as she walked back to Su He's bedside and condescendingly looked down at her …

Su Han smiled and asked, "Is what the county magistrate said true?"

"As long as you listen to me, I will not reveal your secret, and I promise I will not let your masters know that you have betrayed them. Su Han Xiao, you have no other choice, do you understand? "

Su Han Xiao bit his lower lip and said with a shaky voice:

"Alright, I-I'll listen to you. But, this dagger …"

"I'll keep the dagger for you first." Lian Ruyue said with the corner of her mouth raised.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor walked in. Lian Ru Yue bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, you've come."

"Yes." Zhou Chengdi nodded his head and walked to the bed. As soon as Su He heard the news of his brother's death, he couldn't help but tear up. Zhou Chengdi thought that she was in too much pain.

"Does it hurt?" Zhou Chengdi asked.

Lian Xiyue turned around and left with Ji mama. When she left, the princess of An Kingdom was no longer outside. Her personal palace maid, Huo Xiang, said, "The princess has already gone back to rest."

Lian Ruyue nodded towards Ji mama and said, "Senior Servant Ji, quickly go back and serve the princess. I'll go to Senior Concubine Liang's side and invite her good night."

"Yes, County Lord, please be careful." Ji mama bowed as she spoke.

Lian Ru Yue walked out of the courtyard. Leng Mei, Fairy Qingmei and the others were already waiting outside. "To Imperial Concubine Liang's place."

Right now, Ninth Prince was being criticized for being a scoundrel of the emperor, so the imperial concubine must have had a hard time. She liked the imperial concubine, so she wanted to go over and say some words of her own free will.

Imperial Concubine Liang had repeatedly told her in secret to come to her for help whenever she needed it, but Lian Xiyue didn't involve Imperial Concubine Liang in any of this.

There were too many people in the palace who were jealous of her, especially that Xu Xianfei. If she accidentally left any traces behind, that would be the same as harming Imperial Concubine Liang, and she would definitely not implicate her.

After passing through two corridors and a veranda filled with lush green trees, they arrived at Imperial Concubine Liang's courtyard. By the time they reached the entrance, the lanterns in the manor had already been lit.

As if she knew she would come over, that Senior Servant Li stood at the door waiting with a lantern in her hand. The moment she saw her, she said,

"County Lord, you've come. The Empress is waiting for you."

"How is the Empress now?" Lian Ruyue asked as they walked inside.

"The county magistrate will know once he goes in. Please go ahead." Li mama brought Lian Xiangyue in before leaving.

At this moment, Imperial Concubine Liang was not in the room. She was sitting on a chair, waiting by herself. Her gaze lingered around the room before finally landing on a vase with a few fresh crabapple trees in it.

A smile broke out on her face as she let out a sigh of relief. Now that she had Su He's smile on her face, she was finally able to make up her mind.

At this moment, the faint candle light shone on her face, casting an arc of shadow on her eyelashes. She blinked slightly, causing a beautiful ripple.

"Yue Er …" Just as she was about to pick up the cup of tea in front of her, a clear voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Her heart palpitated as she abruptly stood up and turned around to look at that person —
