Chapter 71 The Cruel Truth

"I want to see the people you sent to the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Su Chengying paused and said again, Qin Zhangyuan will never survive without reason. She must know everything in advance in order to plan how to meet Qin Zhangyuan.

"Yes, yes, but..." Dongfang Yuebai stretched out his long arm and spread his wrist. Xin Chang's body fell into weakness again, and returned to his carefree look. He looked at Su Chengying and said, "Before that, , Madam, did you help your husband detoxify him first?"

Su Chengying was stunned for a moment, "How did you know I would poison you?"

Dongfang Yuebai said, "You think I hid it from you, so you want to vent it, but you can't beat me, so what can you do without poisoning me?"

"Since you know this, why are you still sitting here waiting for me?"

Is this man crazy?
Dongfang Yuebai said, "Otherwise? At least if you poison me now, it will be within my expectation. But if I can't let you out this time, when you poison me again next time, I will I’m afraid I can’t even take precautions.”

Dongfang Yuebai said, pointing to the tea cup on the low table with the fan in his hand, "Tell me, did you put poison in the tea cup?"

Su Chengying didn't say anything, but took Dongfang Yuebai's teacup in front of him, filled it with tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Dongfang Yuebai was stunned. If Su Chengying hadn't poisoned the tea cup, why did she make tea first when she got in the car?
"The purpose of making tea is to distract the young master's attention. Even if the young master really notices something, he will avoid drinking the tea cup instead of leaving directly, but the poison in my body will gradually disappear over time. They gathered together in the carriage until the young master became completely weak..."

Therefore, Su Chengying pretended to be confused early in the morning, but in fact he spread poison on his body.

Dongfang Yuebai felt that his limp body was getting weaker and weaker. After a moment, he slowly laughed.

"I still underestimated you." His head felt a little heavy, and he wanted to use the fan to support his chin, but found that he didn't even have the strength to hold the fan, and let the fan fall out of his hand.

A hand suddenly grabbed Dongfang Yue's cheek, which was falling white.

Dongfang Yuebai raised his eyes and saw Su Chengying sitting next to him. He took out an antidote from his sleeve, opened his lips with cold fingers, and stuffed the antidote inside.

While waiting for the antidote to take effect, Dongfang Yuebai simply leaned on Su Chengying's shoulder and asked Zhixu to send the carriage that brought Su Chengying back to the house first, and then said, "Let's go."

Even if some things can be hidden for a while, they cannot be hidden for a lifetime. And according to Su Chengying's calculations, let alone a lifetime, even if a person like him tried his best, he could only hide it for a few days.

And there are some things that she has the right to know, and he doesn't have to hide them.

The carriage turned into a small road in the darkness.

Su Chengying originally wanted to reach out to lift the curtain and look out the window. Suddenly, a violent jolt hit her. Unable to avoid it, she was thrown straight out of the car window.

A strong arm quickly and silently circled her slender waist, pulling her back from the huge inertia and sitting back on the soft bed.

Su Chengying raised her head in shock and looked into Dongfang Yuebai's smiling eyes, "Madam's antidote is really good at curing the disease."

Of course Su Chengying knew that her antidote was useful, but normally it would take an hour for an average person to regain their strength after taking it. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yuebai only took less than a quarter of an hour.

The carriage bumped again, and Su Chengying asked doubtfully, "Where are we going?" "Secret places have to have some obstacles. If everyone can come and leave as they say, it's better to just set up one on the street. Spread it out." Dongfang Yuebai hugged her tighter and fixed her to his side.

Su Chengying could clearly feel that the warmth from his body was wrapping and surrounding her bit by bit, but now was indeed not the time to avoid suspicion, so she simply snuggled into this strange and warm embrace.

After almost another quarter of an hour, the bumpy carriage finally stopped slowly.

Zhixu jumped off the carriage and opened the door. Su Chengying followed Dongfang Yuebai and stepped out of the carriage. This was an extremely dilapidated and remote yard that could be described as desolate.

As Zhixu knocked on the wooden door outside the courtyard three times intermittently, an old man came to the courtyard with a lantern. When he saw the white moon in the east, he saluted respectfully, "Master."

Dongfang Yuebai looked at Su Chengying and introduced, "This is the young lady, Uncle Fu."

Su Chengying and Uncle Fu nodded slightly, then followed Uncle Fu's slow footsteps and walked towards the only house in the yard.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

Tianyi was lying on the bed with a frown on his face, closing his eyes and sleeping lightly. The moment he heard the sound, he opened his eyes vigilantly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, but calmed down when he saw the white moon in the east.

"master."

Dongfang Yuebai nodded and pulled Su Chengying to his side, "This is the young lady. Just tell her what happened in the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Tianyi stood up quickly, but opened the wound on his body. Scarlet blood quickly seeped out of the white soft cloth wrapped around his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Chengying said quickly, "Just lie down and tell me."

However, Tianyi insisted on getting up and knelt on one knee, "According to the instructions of the master, my subordinates secretly went to the capital of the prosperous Tang Dynasty to search for Qin Zhangyuan. This man was previously the adopted son of the Su family, and then disappeared for a while when the Su family beheaded him. Recently, he was Appearing in the court, I heard that he is now the Minister of War and is highly regarded by the eldest prince..."

Su Cheng's bloodless face glowed with a frightening green light in the candlelight.

Tianyi paused and then said, "When my subordinates left, they were attacked by killers. Due to serious injuries, they stayed incognito in villages near Dadu for a few days. By chance, they found out that there were rumors that it was Qin Zhangyuan who exposed the Su family's ugly crimes. , so this person now has a high prestige among the people in most cities."

As Tianyi's words fell, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

Su Chengying originally heard from the Su family army that after something happened, it was his grandfather who took his father to take the initiative to plead guilty, but now it is rumored that Qin Zhangyuan was responsible for the expose?
If it was really Qin Zhangyuan's fault, as Su Chengying's childhood sweetheart, why should the eldest prince be reused even though he should be avoided?Even if the eldest prince is just trying to deal with her on the surface and continues to treat her like a beast for him, shouldn't he still pretend to care about her feelings?
The eldest prince was ruthless and cunning, and would not do anything stupid to expose himself easily, unless he owed Qin Zhangyuan a favor. In order to stabilize Qin Zhangyuan, he had to take the risk of promoting Qin Zhangyuan to the position of Minister of War!
The whole family of the adoptive father was exterminated, and the daughter was forced to marry an outsider, but the adopted son was promoted and made a fortune...

For such an obvious thing, not only Su Chengying, but also everyone present could guess the reason.

Qin Zhangyuan betrayed his trust and secretly colluded with the eldest prince, leading to the death of the Su family in order to seek promotion and wealth for himself!
