Shengjing Noble

Chapter 462 Seeking Help

Su Shengyan shook his head at her, signaling her not to involve anyone else.

Su Lanyin could only shut her mouth very reluctantly.

Wang Chang looked at Su Shengyan with a look of doubt: "You said this dagger is yours, then what evidence do you have?"

"This dagger was bought from Xuanyuan Pavilion, which is known as the best weapon shop in Shengjing. It is made of black iron. If you don't believe it, you can go to Xuanyuan Pavilion and ask."

The officer next to him came up to Wang Chang and whispered something to him. The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Well, since this dagger is yours, you must be the mastermind. Come, take it away!"

"Yes!"

A group of officers immediately rushed forward and arrested Su Shengyan.

Lu Wanjun's eyes were filled with anxiety, and she shouted loudly: "No! How can you arrest people at random? Let my son go! He has to go with the army!"

Wang Chang said disdainfully: "Humph, going with the army? Wishful thinking! Those lunatics who dare to murder the prince should wait for their heads to fall to the ground! Take them away!"

After saying that, a group of people pushed Su Shengyan away in a mighty manner.

Su Lanyin was no longer as calm as before and was instantly confused: "What should I do! Big brother can't be in trouble!"

It was obvious that Fu Mingli and Fu Mingheng wanted to make a big deal out of this matter and then kill them.

Once Su Shengyan is imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, it means that he is in danger of death!

Just going through those punishments once would either kill him or leave him disabled.

"Yinyin, you are the smartest person. Think of a way to save your brother. Our family is rich. No matter what, if we give all the money as gifts, there will always be someone willing to help us, right?"

Lu Wanjun was desperate and had tried every possible means to cure her illness. Suddenly, she thought of something.

"That's right! Your Highness, let's give him all the money and just ask him to let your eldest and third brothers go, okay?"

Su Shengyun frowned and said, "Impossible, Fu Mingli doesn't want our money, he wants my and my brother's positions. The two of us blocked his people, so he naturally wants to pull us down. This time my brother is in the front, I'm afraid it will be my turn next!"

Lu Wanjun collapsed and said, "What should we do? How did we offend him? Why did he treat us like this? My poor son..."

Seeing her mother crying so hard, Su Lanyin calmed down instead.

Panicking at this time will only play into the enemy's hands.

"Second brother, please take care of mother. I'm going to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for help!"

At this moment, it is no longer a problem that she can solve by just saying a few words.

Watching Su Lanyin turn around and leave, Lu Wanjun fainted from crying.

Su Shengyun looked up at the door, then looked down at the mother in his arms, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

He thought about it and felt that he might not be able to hide this matter from the emperor. Instead of being passive, it would be better to go to the palace and report it as soon as possible. Maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope.

After all, the court is in need of talents, and the emperor will not give up on him and his elder brother, two loyal talents.

According to what his eldest brother said before, as long as he tries his best to show his loyalty, he will definitely get the emperor's approval.

"Cuizhu, send someone to take care of my mother. I need to go to the palace."

"Yes!"

...............

Su Lanyin stood outside the gate of Xiaoyao Palace. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to step up the stairs.

She knocked on the vermilion door and it was opened by the housekeeper himself.

"Miss Su? Why are you here?"

Su Lanyin said somewhat embarrassedly: "Um... I want to see the prince for something."

"Oh, what a coincidence, the prince is not in the palace today."

"Then where did he go?"

"I accompanied Miss Shen to the teahouse to watch a play."

Su Lanyin felt as if struck by lightning, and the last thought in her mind disappeared in an instant.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the uncomfortable emotions in her heart, and said with all her strength: "Okay, it seems that I am not here at the right time today, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

"Miss, is there something wrong? Otherwise, please tell me and I will tell you when the prince comes back."

"No need, nothing, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Su Lanyin ran down the stairs holding up her skirt, feeling powerless as if she was escaping in a panic.

Sitting in the carriage, she felt uncomfortable and her eyes were burning, but she still endured it and told the driver, "Go to the Seventh Prince's Palace."

"Yes."

Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Just as Su Lanyin got out of the car and was about to go in, she saw Fu Mingchuan coming out.

"Brother Fu, are you going out for something too?"

Fu Mingchuan saw her and hurried over: "Of course I have to look for you. I heard about the Lu family. Was your eldest brother really arrested?"

"Yes! They falsely accused my third brother of murdering Fu Mingli, saying that he fled because he was afraid of the crime. I gave the dagger to him, and my eldest brother took the blame for me in order to protect me, so he was arrested."

"How can a dagger determine that Su Shengming has a motive to kill? Aren't they arresting people indiscriminately? Come on, I'll go to the Dali Temple with you!"

"Ok!"

Fu Mingchuan is a royal relative after all. With him around, Wang Chang, the Minister of the Dali Temple, will definitely listen to her explanation.

The two got on the carriage and soon arrived at the Dali Temple. On the other side, Su Shengyun went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

……

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

Su Shengyun knelt and waited for an incense stick of time before the chief eunuch came back.

"Sir Su, the emperor is busy with official duties today, I'm afraid he won't be able to see you, so please go back."

This was a clear rejection of him. If it were in the past, Su Shengyun would definitely not let go of his integrity as a scholar and would have left immediately.

But today, he came to save his eldest brother and third brother, and even if he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow a hundred times, he would fight to the death!

"No! I have something important to ask the Emperor to do. No matter what, I will not leave until I see the Emperor. I will kneel here until the Emperor is willing to see me!"

When he gets stubborn, no one can stop him.

This is the bad thing about scholars. They have a stubborn temper. Even if the other party is the emperor, they will still be ready to die.

Seeing that he was so persistent, the chief eunuch was helpless and had to turn around and go back into the imperial study.

Su Shengyun knelt like this for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds. It started to drizzle and then gradually turned into heavy rain.

The chief eunuch stood at the window and took a look, then said, "Your Majesty, the man is still kneeling outside without moving at all, and even his back is straight."

The emperor, who was reviewing memorials, paused when he heard this, glanced at the memorial in his hand, and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.

"I thought they were two people competing with each other, but I didn't expect it to be like this! I am really fed up with them!"

The chief eunuch thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we cannot just listen to the Fifth Prince's one-sided story. Even if he is the defendant, he should have a chance to defend himself. You have been reviewing memorials for so long, it is time for you to take a break. I have prepared the health tea that Su Lanyin sent you earlier. Would you like to drink some? Oh, and the refreshing spices she sent should also be replenished."
