"It's not because you are pretending to be sick." Su Jinhuan crossed her arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "If I hadn't happened to hear your conversation, I would still be kept in the dark by you."
Huo Siyu hugged her: "Okay, don't be angry. It's my fault."
"Then why don't you just drink the medicine obediently?"
"Drink, you must obey Huan'er's orders." Huo Siyu smiled slightly.
Su Jinhuan asked Chu Ying and Zhizhi to boil the medicine and bring it over. The two of them were shocked when they saw that Huo Siyu had woken up.
Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Su Jinhuan took the medicine bowl and said, "The Ninth Prince woke up a long time ago and has been pretending to sleep for several days."
There was a hint of naughtiness and coquettishness in her coquettish tone.
But when Zhizhi heard this, her expression changed instantly.
The prince is pretending to sleep...then what she said before wasn't...
Chu Ying glanced at her sympathetically, Zhizhi's little face had turned pale.
She swallowed her throat and stepped forward tremblingly: "That... Your Highness... what I said before was just a joke."
Although this was true, Zhizhi felt that she might die when she said those words in front of the rightful owner.
Huo Siyu's eyes always fell on Su Jinhuan's face. He felt extremely happy watching her feed him medicine one spoonful at a time.
"It doesn't matter." Huo Siyu waved his hands lightly, not caring at all.
Zhizhi raised her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huo Siyu didn't pay much attention.
Chu Ying:! ! ! Zhizhi was really right.
Zhizhi turned her head and raised an eyebrow at her, and Chu Ying gave her a thumbs up.
After drinking the medicine, Su Jinhuan asked him to lie down and have a good rest. His body still needed to rest, so he and Chu Ying went to see the people.
After she left, Ye Huang also came back.
He looked solemn and stood in front of the bed for a long time without speaking.
"Get out if you don't say anything." Huo Siyu frowned and said.
Ye Huang hesitated for a moment and finally said: "My lord, you are too cruel to the princess. They say blood is thicker than water. How can you just watch the princess suffer."
"She had to come out on her own. When she left, I asked you to send someone to protect her. Now that something has happened, you have to put all the responsibility on me." Huo Siyu sneered, and the indifference in his eyes was not like that. The way it used to be was a bit strange to Ye Huang.
"But if something like this happens to the princess, how will she survive in the future! I just can't understand why the prince is like this! You shouldn't be like this either!"
Huo Siyu's cold eyes were like ice picks, shooting towards Ye Huang suddenly.
"Ye Huang, how would you feel if your beloved was framed and insulted by more than a dozen men!"
Ye Huang was stunned by the sudden question.
He paused and looked up at Huo Siyu without knowing why.
"What does the prince mean by this!"
My beloved, isn’t that Miss Su?
But isn’t Miss Su good?
Huo Siyu withdrew his gaze and forced himself to calm down.
He closed his eyes, rubbed his brows, and relaxed his mood.
"That's it, it's nothing."
"Your Majesty, I hope you will take the time to go back and see the princess more often. It's just for a visit. It shouldn't be a waste of time. She really needs your care."
"You like Siyue very much?"
Ye Huang's expression froze, but he didn't expect Huo Siyu to ask directly.
He lowered his eyes and said nothing, with a faint blush on his cheeks.
Huo Siyu understood and sighed sadly.
Ye Huang still couldn't escape his fate. He was like this in his previous life.
to the end...
"You like Siyue, and I have no objection, but... there are some things I hope you will understand clearly. Whether she is worthy of you treating her like this, please consider it carefully. I will not say this again."
Ye Huang lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinate has liked the princess since he was a child. This cannot be changed. It may be like this for the rest of his life. As long as the princess wants to do something, my subordinate will try his best to help her complete it."
Huo Siyu didn't want to say anything more and ignored him.
"When you send people to track down the kidnappers, remember to leave a few alive for interrogation."
"Interrogation? What does the prince want to ask?"
"Ask them who ordered them to kidnap Siyue, and who asked them to do that." Huo Siyu had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Hope it's not true.
Even though I hate Huo Siyue so much in this life, I still don't want her to be that kind of person.
Seeing his expression, Ye Huang seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly became angry: "My lord, do you doubt the princess?"
"Just do it and don't care what I think."
Ye Huang clenched his fist: "My lord, you are really making it difficult for your subordinates to see through you now."
After saying that, he angrily threw away his sleeves and left.
Looking at his leaving figure, Huo Siyu narrowed his eyes.
He will try his best to keep Ye Huang.
——
A few days later, the plague gradually subsided, and the prosperity of the capital gradually returned to its original state.
Huo Siyu's injury was almost healed. He and Su Jinhuan entered the palace together and took Huo Lingxu to admit punishment.
It was the time to go to court, and all the civil and military officials came together to pay homage.
Huo Siyu strode in, holding a rope in his hand. He walked into the hall, threw the rope directly, and saluted: "Father, bring the guilty minister here."
Huo Lingxu looked haggard, his clothes were messy, his hair was flying wildly, and his face was covered with mud.
The emperor frowned, pointed at Huo Lingxu and asked: "Huo Siyu, what do you mean! How could you do this to your brother!"
"Father, he is behind the plague."
As soon as these words came out, Baiguan's expression changed instantly, and he pointed at Huo Lingxu and whispered.
"What evidence do you have?"
Huo Siyu took out the confessions of the people he had caught before and asked the chief eunuch to submit them.
In addition, there are also papers with fingerprints printed by all the people who have suffered from the plague.
This was all the common people who had been cured by Su Jinhuan and cooperated voluntarily.
"Father! None of this was done by me! How could I do such a thing! Father, you believe me! This matter is of great importance, and I will never risk your life!" Huo Lingxu shouted hoarsely. roared the ground.
The emperor looked at the evidence, his hands shaking.
"Huo Lingxu, I really didn't expect you to be so cruel and cruel!" The emperor slapped the petition on the table and said angrily: "Do you know how many people have died in this plague? How many people have lost their lives and their families have been destroyed!"
"It's really not Erchen! This is all Huo Siyu's conspiracy. He framed Erchen!" Huo Lingxu hurriedly defended: "Yes, it was all done by Huo Siyu to save Su Jinhuan. Su Jinhuan We must have known about the plague in advance, otherwise how could we have developed the antidote so quickly! There must be something evil in this!"
"Then bring out the evidence!" Huo Siyu said calmly: "Huan'er's medical skills are obvious to all, and the people have really felt it."
"Evidence..." Huo Lingxu's eyes were confused, and his heart was also confused.
Where does he have any evidence? But when the plague started to spread, it was not his fault at all!
Yes, it's Huo Siyu!
