After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Chapter 481 Let them fight each other

"Your Majesty, everything has been dealt with." Shadow, the new leader of the secret guards, knelt down and reported.

"Okay." The emperor's eyes became more sinister, and he asked again: "Have the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice gone?"

Shadow replied respectfully, "Yes, I dealt with it before they arrived. I believe they have returned to the capital by now."

In the past few days, the rumors in the capital have become uncontrollable. A large number of students have gathered outside the imperial city, shouting "Petition for the people".

Those civil officials also kept submitting memorials, which made him very annoyed.

At first he only missed his mother and wanted to make compensation to her clan. He didn't expect Su Heng to abuse his power and give positions to almost all the male members of the Wang family, allowing them to cause such a big mess.

In order to prevent the matter from being leaked, he had no choice but to slaughter all the male members of the Wang family who knew about it, making it look like they committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

This was a major case in which thousands of people died, so both the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice sent people to Yushan County to investigate.

However, when they arrived, a dozen county magistrates, prefects, and governors had hanged themselves, with confessions placed beside them.

Thinking of his mother who died young, the emperor's resentment towards Su Heng intensified.

It would be better to take advantage of this incident and get rid of him.

Su Xiuyuan came to Su Heng's yard and told Su Heng what he had heard on the street.

Su Heng was not in a hurry and sneered, "Those people just used some tricks to control the emperor. I didn't expect that the news would spread at this time."

Given the emperor's hypocrisy, he will definitely find someone to take the blame.

And he, the middleman, is the best target.

The emperor made a wrong calculation by wanting to kill him!

Su Heng said to Su Xiuyuan in a cold voice: "Spread it out. The emperor wants to find a scapegoat and spread another thing as well."

After attending classes for several days, Su Lingyue's hands were sore from taking notes, and she could only hold the spoon with her backhand when eating.

Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu were having lunch. She had just taken a bite of a piece of stewed pigeon that Xiao Yu fed her when Yun Ting's voice rang out outside the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, there is a change in the capital!"

Xiao Yu paused while picking up the food, put down his chopsticks and said, "Come in."

Yun Ting came in, wearing his usual black outfit, and nodded respectfully before saying, "As Your Majesty expected, there are indeed new rumors on the street."

Xiao Yu's expression was indifferent, and his words were extremely cold, "Well, control the intensity of the rumors, and don't cause a big conflict. Let them fight each other."

"Yes."

The atmosphere in the hall was cold.

The two did not avoid Su Lingyue. Although Su Lingyue was learning how to use poison in Baicao Garden these days, she also listened to Caidie and the others privately about what happened in Yushan County.

It seems that Xiao Yu is manipulating all of this behind the scenes.

What is the other rumor?

Although she could find out through the colorful butterflies in two days, Su Lingyue couldn't help but feel curious.

After watching Yun Ting leave, Su Lingyue tilted her head and stared at Xiao Yu with her clear big eyes.

Xiao Yu turned around and met a pair of clear big eyes.

"What's the rumor?" Su Lingyue asked curiously.

After asking a simple question, Xiao Yu knew that if he didn't tell her, she would keep thinking about it.

There's no need to avoid her about this.

Xiao Yu picked up a steamed white jade meatball and brought it to Su Lingyue's lips. Su Lingyue opened her mouth, bit the meatball, and ate it carefully.

"I plan to let Su Heng out."

Hearing this, Su Lingyue stopped biting the meatball, swallowed the food in her mouth, and asked worriedly, "So fast?"

Her father was under house arrest for a while, which was considered a relief. Once he was released, he would probably live in fear again.

Xiao Yu put down the silver chopsticks, his eyes were deep, and his jade-like face was calm and peaceful.

"Well, we have no clue about the key witness, so we can only start with him."

Su Lingyue listened carefully to what Xiao Yu said, swallowed the food in her mouth, thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Then the prince must bring guards with him when he travels, my father will definitely find another opportunity to assassinate you."

Seeing her brows furrowed in worry, Xiao Yu raised his hand and gently smoothed them for her.

"Not yet."

Xiao Yu explained gently, "He has to deal with the emperor first."

Hearing him say this, Su Lingyue's tense heart relaxed.

There are people protecting the mansion, so nothing will happen, especially with her here.

Su Lingyue earnestly comforted Xiao Yu: "I have learned a lot of ways to make and use poisons these days! I will accompany the prince, and if any assassin dares to come, I will poison him!"

Seeing her serious look, Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, from now on, your husband's safety depends on Yue'er."
