Conspiracy

Chapter 70

Xiao Chuhong looked confused, thinking it was his staff or hidden guards, thinking about Su's surname, and then remembered that the eldest son of Taifu's mansion called Su Zhen by his name.

"Haven't you remembered? Seven years ago, at the Hundred Days Banquet in Taifu's Mansion, you even gave away your family heirloom!"

Seeing Xiao Chuhong moving his lips a few times, but not knowing how to speak, Shang Yuchen felt that his heart was more balanced.

"More than that, that child, without knowing the friendship between you and me, exchanged his life-saving grace for me in exchange for if you die in the future, I will come forward to save your life."

"Protect me? Why? How did he know that I would die three months ago?"

Xiao Chuhong's first reaction was that the Su family had something to do with the Jialiguan rebellion, but thinking of Su Tingye's deep friendship with his father, he dismissed this idea.

"I once asked Taifu about it, and according to what he said, Su Zhen was so stubborn that she often messed around with the son of the Marquis of Lin'an, which caused headaches for both families. Before that, the Hou's mansion was full of frogs croaking in the middle of the night, causing the world to turn upside down. Fearing that he would be punished, Ye fled to the Taifu's residence overnight, and heard that the two of them had something to do with it, so they were both locked up in the end."

Even so, it was clear to bystanders that Xiao Chuhong was already suspicious.

"No! Have you investigated it carefully?"

"Father sent people to watch me very strictly. I just heard what Lan Zhi said. When he fought the assassin that night, there was a sound of xun, and then countless birds attacked the assassin. Finally The important thing is that after I was assassinated, I was also attracted by the sound of the xun."

"Today, in front of the city gate, someone played a battle song with a Xun, and the mood of the people suddenly changed."

"Could it be that what Su Zhen used was the ancient xun you gave me back then, but isn't your broken xun not blown?"

Xiao Chuhong ignored the disgust in Shang Yuchen's words, and asked in confusion, "Yuchen, what's so unusual about that child?"

In this way, Shang Yuchen narrated the events of that night in full.

"By the way, during the day, he once flew on an egret, so he should be able to communicate with birds and beasts."

"That's why you brought me here today because you want to say that there might be someone behind him giving advice, and you even know who killed my father?"

"Not necessarily, it's just a possibility. If that's the case, he can directly tell me to take precautions, and things won't be where they are now."

Xiao Chuhong cupped his fists and nodded lightly, "Yuchen, thank you anyway."

Although Shang Yuchen didn't say it clearly, he knew what Shang Yuchen must have done, otherwise the emperor would never easily spare him.

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me. Both of us are prosperous now, and we are all damaged. In the eyes of my father, you are mine." Shang Yuchen patted him on the shoulder.

What he said was rather ambiguous, Xiao Chuhong patted his hand off.

"I'll go back to the mansion first. If you help me today, the empress will definitely be dissatisfied."

"It's nothing, just protect yourself. After a while, I will ask for an order to bring you and Mrs. Xiao into the palace, so as to help you recuperate."

"I am protected by the Xiao family army. There are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the palace. You can save it for yourself."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Chuhong turned the wheelchair and headed outside.

Shang Yuchen looked at his back, got up and stood with his hands behind his back, the sun was shining today, but when it shone on that man, he felt only loneliness and sadness.

But at this moment, Xiao Chuhong's eyes seemed to contain the killing intent to destroy everything, and it disappeared in an instant.There was a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, indifferent and alienated, making it impossible to feel the warmth.
