Chapter 162 A Good Opportunity Sent by God
Chapter 162 A Good Opportunity Sent by God
I was afraid that my father's eyes or actions would ruin my future.
"As long as the prince needs me, I will serve you."
At this moment, Minister Liu did not hesitate at all. Looking at his serious expression, he was just short of swearing an oath to heaven.
"Release Shen Jie."
Yan Chu seemed to believe it and immediately put forward his request.
There was a crack on Minister Liu's sincere face in an instant.
"Your Majesty, I have the will but not the power. This case is not under my jurisdiction. Even if I want to be partial, I have no power to do so."
Minister Liu looked helpless.
"Liu Yu is your cousin. You have contributed a lot to his career as an official, rising from a small official to his current position in the government. Without the support of your Liu family, how could he have secured his position in the government in Kyoto?"
He was trying to make excuses, but Yan Chu didn't want to waste time talking to him.
It's also very straightforward.
Even though you didn't say it explicitly, I know Liu Yu will listen to you.
"Your Highness, you are wrong. My cousin has his own abilities, and our family also has its difficult side..."
But Minister Liu kept shaking his head and looked miserable.
That seems like complaining and then shirking one's own powerlessness.
"It sounds like Liu Yu is very capable, and Minister Liu has a lot of opinions about him. How about I help you get rid of him while we're at it?"
Yan Chu didn't ask him for details, but instead thought of a good way to solve the problem once and for all.
Minister Liu's expression cracked again.
"Your Majesty, he is my uncle after all. Even if he is unkind, we cannot be unjust. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to do this."
Liu Yunshang was stunned.
Just for the son of a mere Dali Temple Minister, he actually wanted to pull down the Kyoto government office?
How does this benefit him?
And after she married into the palace, it was equivalent to the entire Liu family standing on his side.
But now he was planning to embarrass the Liu family just for an insignificant person?
"I think Liu Yu is not thoughtful enough and is likely to offend the powerful. If he is not careful, it will implicate the Liu family. It will be better for the Liu family to eliminate him."
Yan Chu looked like he had made up his mind.
"My lord, at this Queen's birthday banquet, Princess Qin made a mistake, which caused you to be left out in the cold. Now most people in the court support Prince Shuo. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to attack my cousin now."
Minister Liu had some understanding of the King of Qin's temperament. He always kept his word and was afraid that he would really take action, so he analyzed the pros and cons with him.
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
At this moment, the look in Yan Chu's eyes was like an ice knife swung at him, frightening him so much that his back instantly turned cold and he shivered uncontrollably.
He didn't say anything, but Minister Liu felt like a knife was at his neck. Maybe the King of Qin wouldn't take action at this moment, but once he left this door, perhaps the entire Liu family would be killed tonight.
"For a concubine, Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"
But Minister Liu still did not give up. Even though his legs were trembling and his teeth chattered violently when he spoke, he still finished what he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down.
When Yan Chu got angry and his aura was fully released, it was as if he was on a battlefield, rushing towards Minister Liu like thousands of troops.
His legs were so weak that he knelt uncontrollably in front of Yan Chu.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Father is doing this for your own good. Why would I take such a risk just for Shen Jie?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Yunshang quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"As you said, why would Shen Zhishu do this? Minister Liu and the Shen family have no grudges against each other, so why would they confront each other?"
"Since it's all unnecessary, why bother to keep harping on it?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Liu Yunshang's face.
Although she didn't say anything, Liu Yunshang felt that the prince had already seen through her plans.
"I'll give you one day to settle this case and release the person. Otherwise... I don't mind asking your Liu family to move out of Kyoto."
Since we are sure that they are the ones causing trouble, why should we show mercy?
Yan Chu didn't bother with them anymore and just stood up and left.
Instead of arguing here, he might as well go back as soon as possible and listen to books and poems, where it would be quieter.
"Your Majesty..."
Liu Yunshang knelt on the ground, unable to believe that the prince had just abandoned her like that.
Did he never care about her?
Liu Yunshang's face was filled with despair and sadness.
"The King of Qin is acting like this, he doesn't take our Liu family seriously at all. If that's the case, why should we follow him? The King of Shuo is the most favored one right now, and the Emperor is in poor health, so he may not survive this year."
But because of what happened today, Minister Liu has begun to think of betrayal.
"But my daughter only wants to be with the King of Qin..."
Liu Yunshang murmured to herself, looking confused, tears falling unconsciously.
Why does it always go against our wishes?
Su Rong, who had come to her senses and was ready for revenge, soon learned about the Shen family.
Shen Jie was suspected of murder and was imprisoned.
How could she waste such a good thing?
"Shen Jie is a murderer. His father used his power for personal gain to cover up his son's crime and even killed people who knew about it. Do you think the father and son of the Shen family are doomed?"
This is a good opportunity to make Shen Zhishu suffer.
This is simply a gift from God to her.
Knowing that she was about to start taking revenge on the scumbags and bitches, God was supporting her.
"But Shen Zhishu has been working hard on this matter, trying to clear his brother's name."
"Just her? What's her ability? Besides flirting and seducing men, what else can she do? People like her should be sent to a brothel..."
Su Rong snorted coldly and began to look down on Shen Zhishu.
If possible, she would definitely do this and make this woman, who only knew how to show off her beauty, pay the price.
"My Lord, I heard that the judge, Lord Liu, was also very dissatisfied with the Shen family. This Lord Liu is also the uncle of Concubine Liu."
After listening to her master's complaints, Qianyue leaned over and whispered in his ear.
If the Liu family is also dissatisfied with the Shen family, then they can completely use the Liu family to eliminate the Shen family first.
Su Rong naturally thought of this as well.
She narrowed her eyes instantly and began to plan.
After Yan Chu came back from Liu's house, he went to find Shen Zhishu.
"Has the prince found out the truth?"
She also heard that he went to Liu's house today.
I think it must be about my brother.
"You want to hear it?"
Yan Chu hugged her and sat down naturally.
The two of them are like a close couple.
"Of course. I have been investigating for so long, and I am curious about who wants to harm my brother."
Isn't this nonsense?
She has to know who the enemy is so that she can come up with a countermeasure, right?
"What if... the target is not your brother?"
Yan Chu didn't want to hide it from her.
And there's no need for that, it's not like she can't accept it.
"Is it my father or me?"
Shen Zhishu asked without hesitation.
Because in Kyoto, my brother is such a low-key person who doesn't offend the powerful, who would want to harm him?
The only people who will become enemies are myself and my father.
Yan Chuke didn't expect her reaction to be so quick.
"the latter."
So he just did it.
