"died?"
After Sun Shutong completely stopped moving, the "female ghost" who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up from the bed.
She reached out and pulled off the mask from her face. Under the mask, there was a plain and beautiful face.
This person is none other than the maid serving beside Song Huan, Su Yuru.
Hearing the woman's voice, a man in black robe quietly walked into the room.
He leaned down, stretched out his hand to feel Sun Shutong's breath, and then lightly shook his head.
"Not dead, just fainted."
"ah?"
Su Yuru was obviously a little disappointed when she heard that Sun Shutong was just frightened and fainted.
"This man has done many evil things. A young servant actually dares to go against the prince at every turn!"
"If Mr. Zhou of Dali Temple had not personally interrogated and found out that it was Sun Shutong who incited the craftsmen to haunt the steel mill, I would not have believed this fact!"
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of them. I'm just trying to scare him. It would be too lenient to spare him!"
Having said this, Su Yuru raised her head and secretly glanced at the man in black.
"Guard Huo, you are really skilled!"
"In the blink of an eye, all the dozens of servants in the Sun Mansion can be locked up!"
Su Yuru carefully looked at Huo Qi opposite him. She had long heard that there was an enigmatic guard beside the prince. When she saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation.
I just don’t know who this mysterious guard is.
Looking at Sun Shutong who fell unconscious on the ground, Huo Qi also had many doubts in his heart.
To be fair, although he had followed Song Huan for a long time, he felt that he did not understand this elusive Prince Rong at all.
The prince knew clearly that he had been framed by the minister of civil affairs, but he was not in a hurry to make the matter clear. Instead, he chose to repay the other person with his own way.
Although this approach is a bit naive, it doesn't even seem like something a dignified prince can do.
But I have to say, it’s really refreshing!
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to go back quickly and pay homage to the prince."
Su Yuru did not dare to go against Huo Qi's wishes and immediately nodded: "Okay!"
…
The next day, get up early.
After Song Huan finished washing, he opened the door and saw that the door was covered in silver and covered with snow.
It seems that it snowed quite a bit overnight.
The entire world was decorated in a pure and flawless white color.
"Good morning, Your Highness!"
Su Yuru, with dark circles under her eyes, blessed Song Huan and bowed.
Looking at her tired face with two huge dark circles under her eyes, Song Huan chuckled.
Su Yuru was a little angry: "Your Highness!"
"My slave has agreed to help you pretend to be a female ghost late at night, and you still make fun of me!"
"Really!"
"Okay, okay," Song Huan suppressed his smile, "How was last night?"
Su Yuru said seriously: "Your Highness, last night went very well."
"The man surnamed Sun was not frightened at all. He was so frightened that he fainted on the spot."
"To describe him as timid as a mouse is not an exaggeration."
"I thought this guy was frightened to death on the spot!"
"If you hadn't already rested when I came back last night, I would have wanted to report this to you as soon as possible!"
Listening to Su Yuru's vivid description, Song Huan could probably guess how embarrassed Sun Shutong must have been at that time.
Just yesterday, Zhou Jue of Dali Temple sent someone to send news. After his investigation, he discovered three more Han Yang's accomplices.
After some torture, the three finally revealed the truth.
It turned out that the person who instigated them to create the illusion of being haunted was a domestic slave in Sun Shutong's house!
Sun Shutong thought that this matter was done perfectly and no one knew about it.
It's a pity that there is still a slight flaw in his self-righteous meticulousness.
After weighing the matter, Song Huan did not make the matter public.
Sun Shutong, like Song Liang, is a person who never leaves any evidence when doing something.
If this matter escalates, the final result will most likely be that Sun Shutong escapes without any influence!
However, Song Huan's move would only alert the enemy and arouse the vigilance of Sun Shutong and Song Liang.
It is better to choose to treat others in their own way.
Don’t you like to pretend to be a ghost and engage in these mysterious and mysterious things?
Then I will return all these things to you, so that you can enjoy them all at once!
Thinking of this, Song Huan still had some expectations in his heart.
After experiencing last night's "surprise", I wonder what Sun Shutong will be like today?
"By the way, Your Highness," Su Yuru suddenly asked curiously, "Who is this Guard Huo?"
"The entire servants of the Vice Minister's Mansion were all locked up by him in less than three minutes!"
"With such skill, even the Imperial Guards can't match it!"
Seeing Su Yuru's curious and gossiping look, Song Huan pretended to be mysterious: "Well..."
"Don't pry when you shouldn't. It's good for your safety!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Yuru shrank her head in fear.
"Yes, yes... I know my mistake!"
"I won't ask around anymore!"
"Then what... I will prepare a sedan chair for you right now!"
Looking at Su Yuru's hasty escape, Song Huan felt a little funny.
This girl has a cheerful personality, is quick at work, and is very active all day long.
Staying by your side brings you a lot of fun!
The road to court today was particularly difficult. By the time Song Huan arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, almost all the courtiers had arrived.
Song Huan roughly searched the crowd and did not see Sun Shutong.
Could it be that this guy was frightened and went into trouble, claiming he was sick at home?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here..."
Xue Hai's loud voice interrupted Song Huan's thoughts.
All the officials knelt down and shouted long live to Emperor Liang.
"My dear friends, please get back on your feet."
Emperor Liang raised his hand lightly and cast his eyes on Prime Minister Cheng Xun in the front row.
"As the New Year approaches, how are the tax collection statistics in various places?"
Cheng Xun took a step forward and bowed his head to Emperor Liang.
"Your Majesty, I have checked and accepted everything with Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue."
"All taxes from various places have been put into the treasury, and nothing is missing."
"Except for the severely affected areas, the harvests everywhere are very impressive!"
Hearing such news, Emperor Liang looked happy and nodded happily.
"The Chinese New Year will be here in half a month. This year is the first year after the war in Daliang ended, and I attach great importance to it."
"According to the usual practice, the tributary country Ryukyu will still send envoys to visit Bianjing."
"This is a great opportunity to show off our status as a great country, so we must pay special attention to it!"
Cheng Xun lowered his head and replied in a deep voice to Emperor Liang: "Wei Chen understands!"
"Within three days, the Ryukyu envoy will leave for Bianjing."
"Wei Chen will discuss with the ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household and start preparations!"
