Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 150 A visitor at midnight

Su Que and his daughter recognized each other unexpectedly.

Everyone was happy for them, including the old man.

But he couldn't help thinking of his daughter, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.

Su Heting couldn't bear it, so he told him that the queen might still be alive.

"I only heard this news from the Marquis of Changning before, and I wasn't sure whether it was true or not, so I didn't tell you to avoid disappointing you.

But judging by the Emperor's reaction tonight, this matter is probably true, and I have already sent people to Wuli."

When the old man heard the news, he was both happy and angry.

He was happy that his daughter was still alive, but angry that the emperor and Yi Qing had dared to plot against his daughter.

I am more worried, wondering how the queen is doing now.

Since everyone in the room was his own people, Su Heting did not avoid the others when he said this.

Lai Chijiao was very happy because he had just been reunited with his daughter, and he also hoped that the old man could find his daughter as soon as possible.

"My mother has a very close junior sister who is also in Wuli. She is good at gynecology and is highly respected by the nobles and royal family of Wuli. She also has many disciples. Perhaps I can ask her to help find her."

Yi Qing's medical skills are better than Cao Ying's. If he reveals his medical skills, his uncle who is also a doctor will definitely pay attention.

Su Que hurriedly said, "Then Dad, please write a letter to your great-grandmaster and ask her for help."

The old man and Su Heting also stood up to express their gratitude.

Being able to move between the royal family and the nobles, it seems that Master Shishu Laibajiao has a good status. Moreover, she has been rooted in Wuli for many years, so it is easier for her to find people than for them.

When Lai Chijiao heard Su Que call him "Dad", he stopped eating and wrote a letter immediately.

Su Heting put the letter away and planned to wait until after New Year's Eve tonight, let everyone eat, drink and rest well, and when the city gate opens tomorrow, he will send several kings of the northern part of Xinjiang to Wuli with the barefoot letter.

"Today is truly a good day."

Su Que couldn't help but say, "Let's have another drink."

While they were eating, Liang Shi came in and whispered, "Master, Xiao Wuzi is here."

Su Heting put down his wine glass and said to Qiao Xi, "You guys eat first, I'll go see him."

When he arrived at the next room, Su Heting pushed open the door and saw a hooded figure standing with his back to the door.

The figure heard the sound of the door opening and slowly turned around. Seeing that it was Su Heting, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness?"

Su Heting nodded, "Long time no see, Master Zhan."

"You are really still alive..."

Upon hearing this, the visitor was delighted and lifted his hood, revealing that it was Lord Zhan of the Ministry of Punishment.

He stared at Su Heting's face and asked, "Your Highness, how did you survive back then? What's wrong with your face now?"

"It's a long story."

Su Heting sat down and raised his hand, indicating that Lord Zhan should sit down as well.

Fang Dao said, "A few days ago, Liang Shi came to you and only told you that I was still alive, and you dared to cooperate with him. Aren't you afraid that there is some conspiracy here?"

As far as he knew, the journey from being a young fifth son to his current position as Lord Zhan of the Ministry of Punishment was not an easy one.

However, he dared to take the risk of betraying the emperor for the sake of unverified words. First, he sent Cao Ying out of the palace, and yesterday he brought the Xinjiang Northern Army, who were good at ventriloquism, into the palace.

Cooperating with the Xinjiang Northern Army, they cut off the beams of Fengyi Palace in advance, spelled out the word "injustice" with the phosphorus bones, and pretended to be a ghost to cause trouble.

He also took advantage of the opportunity to put out the fire to bring the Xinjiang Northern Army out safely and successfully sent them out of the palace.

If there is even the slightest mistake here and the emperor finds out, he will be beheaded.

Lord Zhan didn't sit down, but knelt in front of Su Heting, "You are still alive, such a big thing, you let An Yi tell me, isn't it also trusting me?

I entered the palace at the age of five. If it were not for my master's secret care, I would have no chance to grow up.

You are kind-hearted and let someone bury my mother so that she can rest in peace and not be eaten by wild dogs.

It is my duty to repay your kindness. Even if there is even a fraction of truth in An Yi's words, I am willing to give it a try."

Su Heting helped the man up. "Thanks to your help this time, but the emperor has become suspicious. He will definitely investigate those who have connections with the Eastern Palace. You must be careful."

Lord Zhan smiled and said, "Your Highness has always been low-key when doing good things. In the past, the old friends died or left. No one knew that I was saved by you, and the emperor would not doubt me."

In order to get ahead, he once blocked a knife for the emperor, and one foot was already at the gate of hell.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive. After that, he always put the emperor first in everything and never did anything to betray the emperor. The emperor did not suspect him.

"Even if he finds out, the extra years I've lived are still worth it."

Seeing tears in his eyes, Su Heting ignored the idea of ​​resurrection and brought An Yi out of the fire. He also told him about how he sent two more corpses in to deceive the emperor.

Lord Zhan thought of An Yi's burned face, and imagined that the prince's face must have been burned as well, so he found a miracle doctor to replace his current face.

After all, even An Yi, who rushed to the palace later, was burned like that. The prince who was imprisoned in the palace must have been injured more seriously.

Thinking that this was a painful thing for the prince, he did not continue to ask questions. As long as the prince was still alive, it would be fine.

He didn't ask any more questions, and Su Heting breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't you suspect that I'm not the Crown Prince, but someone else pretending to be him?"

Master Zhan shook his head, "An Yi promised me that as long as I cooperate with him, he will bring me to see His Highness.

When he brought me into the Qiao family, I already had a guess in my mind. I am loyal to Your Highness and will never let anyone else pretend to be you."

Your Highness is a man of extraordinary talent. Even if he changes his identity, he will not be mediocre. In this world, only Your Highness can drive away the barbarians with the help of the righteous army.

The timing was just right.

What's more, there is also Princess Chaoyang.

His Highness loved Princess Chaoyang so much that he abducted her to be his wife. In addition, Su Heting's various behaviors after returning to Beijing are enough to prove that he is His Highness the Crown Prince.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lord Zhan was about to leave.

He left the palace tonight under the pretext of investigating a case, and staying too long would easily arouse suspicion.

Su Heting said, "Eat something before you leave."

Something happened before the palace banquet started tonight. I'm afraid that Master Zhan won't have time to eat.

After that, he went to the next room and brought over a lot of food. "It's New Year's Eve tonight, don't go hungry."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lord Zhan picked up the bowl, as if thinking of a New Year's Eve palace banquet many years ago when his meal was taken away from him and he was so hungry that he had to look for food in the泔水袋.

He was discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who ordered An Yi to bring him food from the imperial kitchen and asked An Yi to teach him martial arts in secret so that he would not be bullied by other eunuchs again.

After that, he rarely went hungry again. After being favored by the emperor, he ate a lot of delicacies from land and sea, but no meal tasted as good as that night.

Master Zhan took a big bite and mumbled, "Delicious."

It was as delicious as the New Year’s Eve dinner that year.

After finishing his meal and putting down his bowl, he saw another red envelope being handed to him.

"Thanks for the hard work, everyone."

This used to be a custom in the Eastern Palace. On New Year's Eve, everyone would receive a red envelope. Although he was not serving in the Eastern Palace, His Highness felt sorry for him and would always ask An Yi to send him some money from the New Year's Eve red envelope.

Lord Zhan took it with both hands, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Heting smiled, "Are you going to the Lin family?"

"Yes."

He wanted to see his master. The same thing happened in the Lin family tonight as in the palace. He was able to leave the palace under the pretext of going to the Lin family to look for clues.

"Lin Yuanbo's remains were dug up by the Xinjiang Northern Army."

Of the Xinjiang Northern Army he brought with him, only 300 men followed him into the city, while the rest were stationed outside the city.

Changmao had been idle these days, and when he heard that he was going to dig up Lin Yuanbo's grave, everyone rushed to go and even posed as if they were confessing their sins in front of the palace.

Lord Zhan wants to investigate now. If he can't find any clues, he will definitely be punished by the emperor.

Su Heting pointed out, "Lin Yuanbai had a lover. She used to be an embroiderer in the palace and also sewed witchcraft puppets."

Zhan's eyes lit up slightly. "Master, do you mean to point the clues to the embroiderer and try to lure her out?"

Su Heting nodded and told him what he knew about the embroiderer.

"There are accomplices of Cao Ying in the palace. That person once tried to sow doubt about my past in front of the Emperor. One of the purposes of letting you make this scene tonight is to make the Emperor investigate and find out who is behind it. As long as the Emperor suspects that person, you will be safe for the time being."

He looked at Lord Zhan and said, "You've been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, so I think you know a lot about this. In your opinion, who could this person be?"
