Xia Younan was furious, but she knew it was not the time to confront him head-on, so she reminded him instead, "Don't forget Yanluo.

"Su Yu is your sister's sweetheart. If you dare to touch Su Yu, your sister will hate you for the rest of her life!"

When Lu Yanluo was mentioned, Lu Shian's expression was slightly moved, but it only lasted for a moment, and he returned to his cold and heartless look.

"This is my family affair, so Princess Yu Nan, please don't worry about it. If you are fine, go back, and don't let me take back my order not to pursue you."

Xia Younan clenched his fists, feeling helpless but with nowhere to vent.

She could see that Lu Shian had made up his mind. Since she was Lu Xiuyuan's woman, it would be useless for her to plead with him.

Forget it, why not go back to find Lu Xiuyuan first. Su Yu is his cousin, he will definitely find a way to save him.

After leaving the imperial study, Xia Younan ran to Youlan Residence and secretly told Bei Jin to inform Lu Yanluo, then he hurried out of the palace and rushed to the palace.

In the Prince Yu Nan's Palace, Tang Ran paced back and forth in Lu Xiuyuan's study with an anxious look on her face, as worried as an ant on a hot pan.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly and advised: "Xiao Ran, you should go back. I won't believe what you say. I know my Nan'er. She will never betray me."

It's really ridiculous. Tang Ran just rushed to the palace in a hurry and asked him to send Su Yu away as soon as he arrived.

She said that she had just received news that Nan'er had gone to the palace and the imperial study and reported Su Yu's life experience to Lu Shi'an.

Now Qin Chong is leading people to capture Su Yu.

How ridiculous! Nan'er and I have been together for so long, and I know her well. How could she betray me and report Su Yu? Tang Ran is really good at talking nonsense.

Tang Ran was annoyed and said angrily: "Brother Xiuyuan, we grew up together, and you and Ye Shiqing have only known each other for more than a year.

"Would you rather believe her than the facts I told you?"

Lu Xiuyuan showed displeasure, his face darkened as he emphasized word by word, "She is my wife. Trust comes first between husband and wife. If I trust you but you don't trust her, am I still worthy of being her husband?"

"But what I said is true!" Tang Ran stamped her feet in anger, "I have a friend in the palace, she saw and heard with her own eyes that Ye Shiqing reported Su Yu to the emperor.

"Think about it, if Ye Shiqing hadn't reported it, how would I have known such a secret?"

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless and his heart skipped a beat.

Yes, if this matter had not been leaked, how would Tang Ran know?

Seeing that he was speechless, Tang Ran was delighted, and continued to persuade him calmly, "Brother Xiuyuan, I have told you long ago that Ye Baijiang is your enemy, and his daughter is not a good person.

"She approached you with ulterior motives in the first place, and now she betrays you as soon as she gets the chance. Haven't you seen through her true colors yet?"

"enough!"

Lu Xiuyuan shouted at her, stood up and walked out quickly, his face as gloomy and frightening as the sky before a storm.

Before he reached the gate of the mansion, he heard a noisy sound coming from behind.

The sounds of footsteps, cavalry, swords being drawn, and scolding mixed together.

Walking further forward, he saw people from the palace being driven into the palace. Hundreds of royal guards, led by Qin Chong, were walking towards him aggressively.

"Your Majesty!" Chan En, Zhu Li and others ran to his side first, asking in confusion, "What is going on? They said they were ordered by the emperor to surround our palace and that they wanted to catch the fugitive in the palace."

Lu Xiuyuan's heart sank. He did not answer them but stopped where he was, waiting for Qin Chong's explanation.

Qin Chong walked up to him with big strides, took out a golden token and flashed it, then said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, I am sorry. I am following the orders of the Emperor to surround the palace and search for the fugitive Su Yanzhi. Please cooperate with me, Your Highness."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him steadily, "Where's the evidence?"

"Once we catch him, we'll have evidence." Qin Chong stopped talking nonsense with him, waved his hand, and ordered the imperial guards behind him, "Search!"

"No need to bother, I'm here."

Without waiting for the Imperial Guards to set out, Su Yu strode over from not far away.

The palace was surrounded inside and out, and he had nowhere to escape. Even if he could escape, he would not leave the prince alone to be implicated.

Qin Chong looked at him and ordered decisively: "Catch him."

"Wait!" Lu Xiuyuan stopped him and emphasized again with a dark face, "I said that if you want to arrest someone, you have to show evidence. Your Majesty is too hasty to come to the palace to arrest someone because of a report that makes no sense."

Qin Chong also expected him to say this, so he didn't respond and winked at the people around him.

The man nodded, turned and walked towards the servants of the palace, pulled out the elderly Liu Bo from the crowd, and pulled him rudely in front of Su Yu.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan and Su Yu both changed their expressions and clenched their fists at the same time.

Qin Chong stared at Su Yu and said, "The informant said that the butler of the palace was once a servant of Su Boyuan's family. It was him who exchanged the life of his own son for the life of Su Yanzhi.

"Su Yanzhi, am I right?"

Su Yu frowned, pursed his lips and looked at Liu Bo without answering.

Liu Bo was also panicking. He shook his head gently at Su Yu and signaled with his eyes that he should not recognize him.

Su Yu was struggling with his own thoughts, and after a while he said cruelly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Qin Chong sighed and kindly reminded: "Since the emperor sent us here, he must be sure of success. You should stop struggling in vain."

"I have said, don't even think about arresting anyone without evidence." Lu Xiuyuan repeated impatiently.

Qin Chong shook his head, raised his hand and patted Liu Bo's shoulder, and said bluntly: "There is no evidence, so the emperor gave me two options.

"First: I will use Uncle Liu as a scapegoat to force you to surrender. Second: I will have people dig up the remains of Su Boyuan's family, expose them to the sun for three days, and grind them into dust."

"you dare!!"

Su Yu shouted loudly, his eyes were red, and he could no longer maintain his calmness.

The overwhelming hatred emanating from him made him look as hideous and terrifying as an Asura from hell.

Qin Chong was not afraid of him and said calmly: "The whole world belongs to the king, there is nothing in this world that the emperor dare not do!

"If you admit it, Uncle Liu will be fine, and your family will be able to continue to rest in peace. If you don't admit it, I will do these two things as I say."

"You!" Su Yu clenched his teeth, his blood seemed to boil, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Xiuyuan quietly held his wrist and comforted him silently.

Qin Chong lost his patience and turned to give his men an order, "Go, drag Uncle Liu away and torture him severely, and force him to tell the truth of what happened back then."

The Imperial Guards took the order and two of them dragged Liu Bo out.

Liu Bo turned around and smiled at Su Yu with satisfaction, then followed them at a staggering pace, showing no fear at all.

Su Yu stared at his back, terrified, desperate, reluctant, distressed, struggling...

All kinds of negative emotions mixed together, like cold poisonous snakes crawling up his back.
