Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 240: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 57

Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Xiao Qingzi, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, led a group of secret guards and quietly appeared in Su Ziyu's yard, "Sir Su, the emperor has ordered us to see you off."

As he spoke, the secret guard behind him came forward with poisoned wine.

Su Ziyu looked at the group of people who had inexplicably broken into the courtyard, blinking his eyes and not quite reacting. "System, has something happened in the palace? Wasn't the old emperor controlled by Li Junze? Why is there a scene of him being sentenced to death, and the unlucky guy is me?"

The system didn't explain, but just advised: [Host, since the heroine died and the mission failed, the sooner she dies, the sooner she will be reborn. If you drink this poisonous wine, we can go back and start over sooner.]

Su Ziyu disagreed, "You make it sound so easy. You are not the one whose emotions are broken. Let's make a deal. Can we try a different approach in the future? Don't try to escape death all the time. I am here to complete the mission, not to experience a fancy way of dying."

The system was so angry at Su Ziyu's words that it laughed, "Host, if you can complete the task honestly, I will certainly support you in all kinds of escapes, but the question is, have you completed it?"

The two of them were arguing, and in Xiao Qingzi's eyes, Su Ziyu was frightened. He smiled contemptuously, "Prince, stop wasting time. Please!"

The secret guard stepped forward and tried to force the poisoned wine down his throat.

"Wait a moment."

Su Ziyu glanced at the black poison and stepped back a few steps. "Bring the imperial edict here for me to see. I don't believe that my uncle will sentence me to death. And may I ask, sir, have I ever offended you before?"

The malice in the eunuch's eyes was almost overflowing, and it was hard for him not to see it.

Seeing that he was still trying to resist, Xiao Qingzi simply let him know what was going on, handed the imperial edict in his hand to him, and then gave a fake smile, "My Lord, you are joking. I am of low rank and my words do not count. I have never seen a person as noble as you, but well..."

"But what?"

Su Zi wanted to take the imperial edict, put it in front of his face and pretend to examine it carefully, but he actually turned his head and winked at Lu Zhu and others, asking them to slip out through the back door to report the news.

However, this method was totally impractical. The group of secret guards brought by Xiao Qingzi had already surrounded the courtyard. If anyone dared to move, they would be killed with a sword without blinking an eye.

Seeing several servants lying in a pool of blood, the maids in the yard were so scared that they squatted on the ground and dared not move, and the other servants were all trembling.

When Su Ziyu saw this, he knew that this group of people were determined to kill him. He was afraid that he would be in great danger today, and there was no need to let these servants die in vain.

"Stop it, my uncle wants to sentence me to death. These servants are innocent. If you dare to kill innocent people again, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you drink this wine, I will make you a ghost."

Su Ziyu's attempt to ask for help just now completely angered Xiao Qingzi.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became ferocious. He asked the secret guard to hold Su Ziyu down, while he clamped his chin and poured the poisoned wine in the glass into his mouth regardless of his struggle.

"Let go of my prince!!!"

Although Lu Zhu and other servants were afraid of death, they were all loyal. When they saw their own young master being forced to drink poisoned wine, they rushed forward without hesitation even though they knew they were no match for the secret guards.

The secret guard raised his knife and killed them all one by one.

Su Ziyu was fed poisoned wine, dark red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the familiar faces that fell in front of him, and a few drops of warm blood splashed on his cheeks.

Su Ziyu's eyes were red, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant. He fell to the ground exhausted, "Ah, wuwuwu!!!"

The poison took effect too quickly.

Su Ziyu was unable to speak at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth he spat out large streams of blood.

With severe pain in his abdomen, his vision gradually blurred. Before he fell to the ground, he seemed to see a figure he wanted to see the most running towards him...

Xiao Qingzi watched him die, looked up at the sky, and said to himself with a smile that sounded like crying: "Xi Su, I finally avenged you, your soul in heaven can rest in peace."

“Susu!!!”

Amid the panicked voices, Li Junze hurried forward but was still a step too late. The tragedy was already irreversible.

Su's father and mother followed closely behind. When they saw their son lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, and the bodies of maids and servants scattered all over the yard, the bright red was glaring, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. They almost fainted and cried out in tears: "Yu'er!!!"

Li Junze knelt on the ground, hugged Su Zi in a pool of blood and was about to cry.

Su Ziyu closed his eyes, his expression was filled with pain and ferocity, his face was as white as ice and snow, dark red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth to his neck, staining his entire collar, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.

Li Junze stared at his face, his mind was completely blank. He called his name in a hoarse and trembling voice, but Su Ziyu didn't even respond.

Li Junze was trembling and reached out his hand to check his breathing.

Nothing at all.

At that moment, the string in Li Junze's mind snapped, as if there was nothing in this world worth his care anymore.

He lost his most precious treasure.

Pei Qingcheng led the guards to control the whole situation, but those secret guards were all death warriors. When they saw that the situation was not right, they all committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and only the eunuch named Xiao Qingzi was captured alive.

He stepped forward to report, and glanced at Prince Su in Li Junze's arms. The man seemed to have stopped breathing. His heart suddenly ached, and an indescribable sadness spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, "Your Highness, I am in mourning!"

"Excuse me? Why should I express my condolences?"

Li Junze reached out his hand and carefully wiped the blood off Su Ziyu's face. His cheek was still warm and soft. "Su Su, he just fell asleep."

Seeing that Li Junze was deceiving himself, Pei Qingcheng opened his mouth, not knowing how to persuade him. Over there, Su's mother, who had fainted from crying, woke up slowly, and with the support of Su's father, rushed over to see her son.

"Yuer, my dear Yuer, how can you bear to let us, the old ones, send off our young ones!"

"Yu'er, it's all because of your father's failure to protect you! You were harmed by a traitor in your own home. Don't worry, even if your father has to risk his life, he will ask His Majesty for an explanation!"

...

The sound of the two elders crying seemed to break Li Junze's fantasy. He lowered his head and gave Su Ziyu a very light kiss between his eyebrows.

That pious gesture was like kissing the most important treasure in his life.

"Susu, the road to the underworld is cold and lonely, wait for me."

Li Junze closed his eyes, and reluctantly loosened his grip, returning Su Ziyu's body to Su's father and mother. He stood up and looked at Pei Qingcheng, with a cold and oppressive aura emanating from his body, "Take those people back, I will personally interrogate them."

Li Junze kept Pei Qingcheng to help Su's father and mother prepare for the funeral, while Xiao Qingzi was tied up and taken back to the secret room in the palace.

Li Junze pursed his lips and said nothing. He picked up a dagger from the wall full of torture instruments, weighed it to see if it was suitable for his use, and then asked someone to take off Xiao Qingzi's clothes and started to torture him from his arms, piece by piece.

When the entire arm was devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only white bones, he opened his lips slightly and asked, "Why did you kill him?"

Xiao Qingzi was sweating profusely, and he sneered while holding back the pain, "Your Highness, you asked me why I wanted to kill Prince Su. Then I also want to ask you, Your Highness, why did you want to kill Xi Su? He worked so hard for your great cause, why would you just kill him?"

Li Junze looked up at him, "You are his."

His eyes were filled with infinite regret. It turned out that he was the culprit who killed Su Su.

Xiao Qingzi was no longer afraid of life or death at this moment. The reason why he lingered on was simply that he wanted to see one more look at the sad expressions of these superiors, which would make him feel better.

"Your Highness regards us as ants. You never thought that you would be hurt by an ant one day! Do you know why Xi Su hates Prince Su so much?"

Li Junze no longer had the heart to listen to him and continued to torture him with the knife. But with every strike of the knife, his heart seemed to be cut open as well.

My heart hurts so much.

Xiao Qingzi's breath was weak. Seeing that Li Junze ignored him, he looked up and said to himself, "Back then, Prince Su spent a fortune in Youlan Tower for Master Pei. His youthful spirit became a legend in the capital.

But only a hundred meters away from Youlan Tower, Xi Su studied hard for many years, but because he couldn't pay back a few taels of silver, he had his legs broken alive. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Sometimes hatred comes for no reason.

Li Junze regretted his decision. If he had known that Xi Su was such an ungrateful person, he would not have saved him out of momentary pity, leaving himself with such a huge disaster.

Xiao Qingzi is dead.

Li Junze scraped him alive until he was reduced to a skeleton.

The next day at court, at the instruction of Li Junze, the prime minister wrote a letter to make the matter of the fake emperor public. All civil and military officials were shocked. The fake emperor was eventually crushed to dust, and the empress dowager left the palace and asked to go to the Taimiao.

Li Junze worked without sleep for three days to handle government affairs. He selected a smart-looking boy from the side branch to succeed him, and appointed Pei Qingcheng as regent.

On the night before Su Ziyu's funeral, he took poison and went to the mourning hall. He pushed open the coffin with a calm face and lay down side by side with Su Ziyu.

If we can't sleep in the same bed in life, we'll be buried in the same grave in death.
