Chapter 114: The Truth

But Qin Ye didn't stay long. He went to reply to Chu Jifeng and then left Prince Ling's Mansion.

Afterwards, Chu Jifeng took Mrs. Chen over and took care of his daughter personally.

When Ms. Chen saw her daughter being beaten like this, she could only wipe her tears all the time and cried miserably.

Su Luofu comforted her: "Mom, don't be like this. Mr. Qin said that as long as I have a good life, I will be fine soon."

"But you have suffered!" Mrs. Chen choked, "You are a girl and you have scars. How can you negotiate for marriage in the future?"

Su Luofu's eyes dimmed and she said in a low voice: "Even if I am good, my father will not tell me a good marriage. Even if my father is interested, he is just using me as a business, so what does it matter?

"

"It's all because I have no ability and am just a concubine..." Mrs. Chen sighed, hating that she was just a concubine and couldn't plan for her daughter. "If you are as lucky as Yin Yue and marry a good man who loves and cares for you,

It doesn’t matter if I shorten my life by ten years.”

Su Luofu stopped talking.

She is a concubine like her second sister, but her second sister is much more powerful than her. Others only say that Su Yinyue is where she is today because of Chu Jifeng, but she has lived in Prince Ling's Mansion for a few days and has seen

Su Yinyue had prepared many elixirs, and not only Chu Jifeng had taken them, but even the Prime Minister's wife had sent people to ask for them.

She is not as capable as her second sister, and her father does not love her, so how can she get a good marriage?



Within a day, Dali Temple investigated the case and arrested a man with a scar on his face.

This scarred man has neither father nor mother. He previously worked as an escort in an escort agency, so he knows a few killing techniques.

Unexpectedly, when the Minister of Dali Temple was interrogating him, the scarred man hit his head against a pillar before he could say a few words. He bled profusely and died within a short time.

Despite this, the minister of Dali Temple still found the murder weapon and several hundred taels of silver notes from his home, confirming that someone paid to kill him.

But without witnesses, the case has become unsolved and cannot be investigated further.

The minister of Dali Temple had no choice but to report the matter truthfully. Emperor Qiwu listened and pondered for a moment before looking at Chu Jifeng who was standing aside.

Chu Jifeng was wearing crimson casual clothes, with delicate embroidery of auspicious clouds on the collar and sleeves, which made his complexion strangely fair, as if he was a seriously ill person.

"Jifeng, now that we can't find out the reason for this case, what do you think?" Emperor Qiwu asked.

There was no other expression on Chu Jifeng's face. Emperor Qiwu could find nothing else. He could put all the blame on Su Luofu, or directly absolve Su Luofu of the crime. Now Emperor Qiwu asked him what he should do,

Don't you just want to get some benefits from him?

He did not answer Emperor Qiwu's question, but said: "I sent someone to find out about Li State. Princess Liyang intends to choose a husband for herself. If the emperor sends envoys to Li State to propose marriage at this time, there will probably be a good talk.

.”

After hearing this, Emperor Qiwu immediately widened his eyes and was so happy: "Really?!"

Princess Liyang was the most beautiful woman in Li Kingdom. Because she wanted to help her younger brother secure the throne of Li Kingdom, she did not marry anyone when she was over 20 years old.

People thought that Princess Liyang would never marry again in this life, but Chu Jifeng said that she was interested in choosing a husband!

"This matter is top secret. I spent a lot of money to buy Qingliang gauze and found out about it. How can it be false?" Chu Jifeng said.

Emperor Qiwu just remembered what happened yesterday. Although his doubts had not been eliminated, the smile on his face had deepened.

He kept nodding his head and said: "You can find out such important information, it's not in vain that I trust you so much. Although Li is a small country, Princess Liyang is resourceful. She has supported her younger brother for several years, and Li's national strength has been greatly improved."

It is getting stronger day by day. If Princess Liyang can marry me, Daqi, it will not only make Li country lose its backbone, but also temporarily frighten Liang country."

Nowadays, the world is in chaos. Daqi and Liang are quarreling fiercely and wars break out frequently. Dongning and Li are small countries. To ensure peace, they pay tribute to Daqi and Liang every year.

If he can marry the Li Kingdom, Emperor Qiwu will take a big step towards unifying the world!

How could he not be happy about such a thing? He also wanted to give Chu Jifeng credit!

Eunuch An brought a cup of tea over and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible."

Emperor Qiwu nodded and immediately summoned other important ministers to discuss the marriage.

The Minister of Dali Temple was completely ignored, and finally he could only ask: "Your Majesty, what about this case..."

Emperor Qiwu just remembered that there was such a thing. He glanced at Chu Jifeng with squinted eyes and said: "Since someone paid for the murder, it has nothing to do with Su Luofu. She has also been punished. That's all.

never mind."

The minister of Dali Temple received the order and immediately withdrew.

The subsequent events had little to do with Chu Jifeng, and he didn't stay much.

He has already given the news. Whether the marriage will happen or not depends on how Emperor Qiwu plans it.

Even though it was morning, the sun was still extremely hot on the ground.

Chang Wuying held an umbrella for him to protect him from the sun. When he walked to the corner of Yongxiang, he saw the minister of Dali Temple waiting there.

"Your Majesty." The Minister of Dali Temple bowed his hands in salute.

Chu Jifeng responded lightly.

The minister of Dali Temple continued: "I don't understand my humble position. Why did I find out that the man with the scar had a close relationship with Miss Su's maid? Your Majesty was not allowed to report this to me."

"Without witness, Su Jianjin still needs the emperor's attention, and it is impossible to convict Su Yanning." Chu Jifeng's face was cold and murderous.

Not found."

The minister of Dali Temple was sweating on his forehead, so he could only agree quickly.

How dare he guess Chu Jifeng's thoughts? Now that he doesn't have to offend either party, it's best if he can continue to live his life.

After returning to Prince Ling's Mansion, Chu Jifeng didn't find anyone in the main room, so he went straight to the pharmacy.

Sure enough, Su Yinyue was mixing ointment.

She was so focused and sweating profusely that she didn't even know he was coming.

His face suddenly sank, and he was a little angry: "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Why didn't you listen?"

Su Yinyue looked stern and explained: "I rested for a night and I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

Chu Jifeng glared at her, was too lazy to speak to her anymore, and turned around directly to go back to the main room.

"Your Majesty!" Of course Su Yinyue panicked and hurriedly chased after him, trying to hold his hand, but he threw him away.

She was startled, she had never seen him treat her like this before.

After she came to her senses, she still shamelessly approached him, and since he wouldn't let her touch his hands, she grabbed his sleeves.

This time, Chu Jifeng finally did not let her go. She followed him into the room and sat down with him.

"Calm down." Su Yinyue poured the tea and water herself, holding the tea cup with both hands, "I'm really fine."
