Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 769 Forcing the Palace!

Just as Lu Cunwei was running to the study, Su Jiu received a message from the porter.

It was sent from Lord Hou's mansion, with Xie Rongjing's profuse and phoenix handwriting on it, saying that he was in some trouble in business, and asked Su Jiu to come over to the mansion quickly to help.

He had never been so urgent.

Su Jiu was thinking that something big might happen to the Xie family's business, so he didn't dare to tell his mother, and quietly left the Duke's mansion by himself.

She rode a fast horse straight to Lord Hou's mansion. Xie Rongjing welcomed her in and led her to the main courtyard, "It's not a big problem. It has been solved by the staff and servants in the mansion. Please take Xiaojiu and make this trip. Please have a snack."

Su Jiu looked around curiously.

The night is like splashed ink, and the lights of Hou Ye's Mansion are faintly visible.

For some reason, the mansion seemed extraordinarily lonely tonight.

She said softly: "Where are Mo Shisan and Zhou Fengxian? They always love to stay at your house, why are they missing tonight?"

"Oh..." Xie Rongjing pushed away the fan, his eyelashes drooped, "They went to Tianxiangyin to drink flowers and wine, they didn't have three days and two nights, how could they be willing to come back."

Su Jiu stepped over the threshold and saw exquisite meals on the round table behind the bead curtain.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

Sitting down with Xie Rongjing, the man served her dishes attentively, and seemed to casually mention: "You have been out of the palace for so long, and he hasn't looked for you?"

Su Jiu shook his head.

Xie Rongjing sneered, "Sure enough, she is a fickle person. As far as I know, Huayueji still lives in Ouxiang Xiaozhu, and has no intention of moving out at all. As for the Xue Chengcheng you hate, she is still the high-ranking empress dowager." .”

Su Jiu didn't say a word.

With one hand resting on her chin, she swirled the drink in the glass, her clear deer eyes were stained with complexity.

Xie Rongjing: "It's not a solution for you to be so deadlocked with him, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Jiu shook his head.

She lowered her eyelashes and was about to drink, but she smelled a strange fragrance in the wine.

She remained calm and looked up at Xie Rongjing.

The lights were bright, and the man's spring-like face revealed a different kind of tranquility and composure. Danfeng's eyes were neither wave nor ripple, just looking at her quietly, as if waiting for her to drink the wine in the glass.

"Xie Rongjing?"

She put down the wine glass.

Xie Rongjing seemed to be expecting it, and smiled, "I knew that Xiaojiu has a keen sense of smell, and you can easily detect ordinary drugs."

"What do you want to do?" Su Jiu was puzzled.

Xie Rongjing looked out the window.

There are two wind lanterns hanging under the eaves of the window, but the darkness is too thick, the faint halo can't penetrate the deep night, and the distance is still dark beyond the sight.

The man tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, "Su Xiaojiu, we have known each other for seven years. During these seven years, you have always been by Xiao Tingchen's side, and the love you have given me is really pitiful. But Xiao Tingchen's kind How can a person be worthy of your love?"

Su Jiu had never seen Xie Rongjing like this.

Calm and persistent, Danfeng hides madness in his eyes.

She frowned, with a bad premonition in her heart, "Xie Rongjing, what on earth do you want to do? Do you want to assassinate Xiao Tingchen? Do you know how heavily guarded the palace is?"

"Assassination?" The corner of the man's lips twitched lightly, "Rather than assassination, tonight's action is more like forcing the palace."

Su Jiu couldn't believe it, "Xie Rongjing, are you crazy?! No matter how bad Xiao Tingchen is to me, he can be regarded as a wise king. He is the king you should be loyal to!"

"He is not worthy." Xie Rongjing's tone was extremely cold, "The one who should inherit the throne is not him, but his elder brother Xiao Tingcheng...or it is more appropriate to call him Yuan Sheng."

Su Jiu's deer eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't he dead?"

She knew that Xiao Tingchen had an older brother, but she also knew that that older brother died when he was born, so where could there be another Xiao Tingcheng? !
"Heh... the empress is really simple."

The charming voice sounded slowly.

Su Jiu looked over, and a slender hand pushed aside the bead curtain, and the girl who appeared in the light was Xue Xiwen, whoever it was!
She suddenly got up and stared at Xie Rongjing angrily, "You colluded with the Xue family?!"

"What is collusion? The alliance between traitors is called collusion." Xue Xiwen smiled lowly, resting her jade hand on Xie Rongjing's shoulder, her beautiful eyes beaming with anticipation, "What our Xue family and Master Xie are doing is the great event of King Qin. How can it be called collusion to eradicate courtiers and protect the royal family?"

Su Jiu still stared at Xie Rongjing.

She couldn't believe Xue Xiwen's words, she waited for Xie Rongjing's answer with the last ray of hope.

But Xie Rongjing was destined to disappoint her.

The man drank half a cup of cold wine, his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Su Xiaojiu, Xiao Tingchen, as a traitor and traitor, usurping the throne is already a heinous crime, not to mention he has humiliated and tortured you many times. In my opinion, death is not a pity. I Xie Rongjing doesn't have the ability, but he does have the ability to stand up for the woman he loves!"

"Thanks--"

"Stop talking for him!" Xie Rongjing said coldly, "I don't care who the hell sits on that throne. What I care about is always you, Su Jiu! For you, I am willing to break into mountains of swords and seas of fire, and force the palace to cause chaos. I am willing to do anything! Su Xiaojiu, I only care about you!"

The man's eyes were red.

Su Jiu was startled by the decisive and harsh tone.

A look of jealousy flashed across Xue Xiwen's eyes, and she reminded gently: "Master Hou, the time has come, it's time to send Miss Su to the palace."

Su Jiu took two steps back.

Sending her into the palace must be to blackmail Xiao Tingchen.

But the Xue family didn't have Rong Zheng, no one would care about her life or death.

She turned to run away, but was stopped by Xue Xiwen's maid.

Xie Rongjing stood up, "Xiaojiu, you are kind and gentle by nature, you probably don't want blood to flow in the palace again, right? Go into the palace to persuade Xiao Tingchen to surrender, we promise not to hurt half of people's lives."

"To persuade you to surrender?" Su Jiu sneered, "It's nice to say, but it's just threatening Xiao Tingchen with me! Xie Rongjing, after all these years, I've misjudged you!"

"I'm doing it for your own good." Xie Rongjing said in a deep voice.

Su Jiu wanted to refute, but a maid slapped her on the side of the neck heavily.

She lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

Xue Xiwen smiled and cupped her hands at Xie Rongjing, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your help. Above the new emperor's court, Lord Hou must be ranked as the third prince."

"This Marquis doesn't care about being among the third princes," Xie Rongjing stood indifferently with his hands behind his back, "This Marquis only wants Su Jiu."

The girl he liked since he was a child, after all, he couldn't rest assured when he was around others.

It's better to be firmly trapped in his own mansion, pampered by himself, so that he can feel at ease.

Xue Xiwen left Lord Hou's mansion with Su Jiu.

Behind the bead curtain, Xie Rongjing was changed into thin armor by two maidservants.

He put on the red-tasseled helmet slowly.

Under the lamplight, his silhouette was stern and tall, with a faint bloodthirsty aura overflowing from his body.

He is a man who has been on the battlefield, and he is the general of Chang'an City.

He is no longer the idle Xie family dude who used to be in Jinling City.

The man slowly raised his red phoenix eyes.

He also has his pursuit.
