Chapter 161
in the palace.

As soon as Su Yucheng entered the palace, he was taken to a pavilion in the middle of the lake in the imperial garden.

The weather today was fine, the sun was shining brightly, and there was an occasional cool breeze. The palace people rolled up the mats around the gazebo to protect them from the rain. Siyou Kingdom Emperor Xi Yunkui and Su Yucheng were sitting in the gazebo, playing chess.

"I haven't seen Su Qing for more than ten years, and Su Qing is still the same as before." Xi Yunkui's eyes fell on Su Yucheng, sizing him up.

Su Yucheng waved his hand: "Dijun is joking, it has been more than ten years, and I am much older than before. There is no way, I already have great-grandchildren, if I am not old, I will become a monster?"

Xi Yunkui laughed, dropped down, and said casually: "I thought that Su Qing decided to resign because of her poor health, but looking at Su Qing's appearance, she felt that she was still very tough. .”

"And I never thought that Su Qing would look back at the capital so soon."

These words were tentative, but Su Yucheng seemed to have not heard it at all, and only sighed: "It just looks tough, my body is not very good anymore."

"I've been coughing a lot lately, and there's a lot of dust in Tongxin Mansion. The doctor said that the environment there is not suitable for me to recuperate. If I stay there, the cough will only get worse. The doctor is just talking nonsense. But my wife was so anxious that she threatened me with her life to resign from office and return to the capital to recuperate."

Su Yucheng looked helpless: "I really have no choice, alas..."

Xi Yunkui laughed: "Really? So that's the case? Mrs. Zun's aggressive temper has been consistent for ten years."

"Is there any way, I spoiled it myself, so I can only bear it myself."

Xi Yunkui lowered his eyes and said, "How is the situation in Tongxin Mansion? Is everything okay?"

Su Yucheng nodded: "It's okay, but the climate over there is too good, the land is relatively dry, and there is a lot of sand, so many vegetables can't be grown, and the edible vegetables are much less than Wangjing City. Now go back to Wangjing City , I really can't wait to eat all the signature dishes of all the restaurants in Wangjing City."

"However, the folk customs over there are very simple. There are relatively few warlocks there, and they are all ordinary people. They treat people warmly. They can gossip with them wherever they go, and they won't feel bored."

Xi Yunkui nodded, and said with a smile: "Compared to before, Su Qing is much more open-minded."

Su Yucheng smiled: "I'm getting older, and the Tongxin Mansion is sparsely populated and relatively open. Maybe it's affected by the environment. I feel that many things that I couldn't see before can be seen now. Now, it seems that many things are not that important, not that big a deal."

"That's good too."

Xi Yunkui casually asked about the situation of Su Yusheng's family, and Su Yucheng answered every question. Although the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, they had their own thoughts, but they had a very happy chat.

After one round, Su Yucheng left.

The servant was arranging the chess pieces, when someone rushed over from the bank: "Dijun, Mr. Sheng, please see me."

Xi Yunkui raised his eyes, and saw Sheng Chang Lin standing on the shore.

"pass."

The servant who delivered the message retreated, and the chief servant who stood behind Xi Yunkui lowered his voice and said, "Dijun, according to the servant who went to summon Master Su earlier, they went to the Su Mansion but did not find Master Su. They were in the Sheng Mansion. Master Su received it."

"And this servant also heard that Master Su went to Sheng Mansion, but was stopped by the gatekeeper of Sheng Mansion. Master Su barged in with his sword drawn."

Xi Yunkui lowered his eyes and straightened his robe: "When Su Yucheng left Wangjing, he had an enmity with Sheng Changlin, but do you know why Su Yucheng went to Sheng's mansion to make trouble again? "

"I don't know yet."

Xi Yunkui nodded, looked up at Sheng Changlin who walked towards him through the promenade on the lake, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and the jade wrench on his thumb hit the edge of the table, making a crisp sound sound.

"The humble minister pays homage to the emperor."

Xi Yunkui nodded: "Get up, the prime minister hastily rushed over, what's the matter?"

Sheng Changlin raised his head, looked at Xi Yunkui's face, and lightly shook his hands in his sleeves: "I heard that the emperor has just summoned Mr. Su."

Xi Yunkui's hand paused slightly, and the eyes that fell on Sheng Changlin's face were somewhat surprised.

What does this mean?

"Is there such a thing? Why did the prime minister ask about this? Could it be possible that I need your consent to summon someone?"

Xi Yunkui secretly calculated in his heart that Sheng Changlin had always acted cautiously, but came here in a hurry today, but asked him about summoning Su Yucheng, there must be a reason for it.

There was some sarcasm in Xi Yunkui's words, and Sheng Changlin squinted his eyes. Could it be that Su Yucheng really had the evidence in his hands, and really presented the evidence to the emperor?
Sheng Changlin was silent for a moment: "There was some misunderstanding between Mr. Su and this minister before, and after the death of Mrs. Weichen, the family was busy, and this minister forgot to send someone to the Xinfu to inform Mr. Su. Therefore, Su My lord will hold a grudge against this humble minister in his heart."

"Today he suddenly came to Weichen's mansion to make trouble. Weichen also felt that it was a bit sudden, and earlier, Mr. Su talked nonsense in front of Weichen, and even drew his sword in front of Weichen..."

"Master Su's misunderstanding of Weichen is really too big. I'm afraid he was provoked by others. The things Mr. Su said were all based on nothing, but he kept saying that he had evidence and wanted to come to the emperor to complain. There is no other way for this humble minister, please ask the emperor to see clearly and return this humble minister's innocence."

"I don't even know what kind of evidence Mr. Su said?"

Draw a sword in front of him?
Instigated by others?

Sue him?

Xi Yunkui felt a little puzzled. Although Su Yucheng played a game of chess with him earlier, he didn't say anything?
Sheng Changlin came here in such a hurry, just for this matter?
Xi Yunkui was already suspicious, but hearing what Sheng Changlin said, he became even more suspicious.

What did Sheng Changlin say Su Yucheng wanted to sue him for?
What is the so-called evidence?
What is it that is worth his anxiety, so anxious that he almost panicked.

Xi Yunkui was thinking in his heart, and his face remained calm: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will not trust what Mr. Su said, and I will send someone to check it out before making a decision. No matter what, I can't take it lightly. You were wronged, weren't you?"

Sheng Changlin clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and gritted his teeth. Su Yucheng really has evidence?
What is the evidence?
Sheng Changlin's expression changed, but he still suppressed his temper and replied: "Yes, thank you, Dijun."
