Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 238: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 55

Su Ziyu, who was grabbed by the collar, closed his eyes, and was completely stunned and unresponsive, allowing Nangong Xi to vent his anger.

Seeing her own prince looking pale and shaky, Lu Zhu immediately stepped forward to separate them, "Lord Nangong, please calm down! Young Master Chen passed away so suddenly, and my prince is also very sad."

"He's sad? He's just pretending!"

It was not until the jade pendant on Nangong Xi's neck was revealed during her struggle that Su Ziyu blinked and suddenly realized that when Chen Anyu said he was giving the jade pendant away, he meant it was given to Nangong Xi!

He opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice, asking Luzhu to leave for the time being. If Nangong Xi was the person An Yu liked, then he should bear all the beatings and scoldings from the other party.

"Nangong Xi, I am indeed responsible for An Yu's death. I have nothing to say if you want to hit me or scold me."

After Su Ziyu finished speaking, she stood there in a daze, staring at the jade pendant around his neck, her vision slowly blurred by tears.

Seeing Su Ziyu closing his eyes and letting himself be dealt with, Nangong Xi was filled with hatred and reached out to slap him, but he thought of something in the middle of the slap and stopped just before hitting him on the cheek, clenching his hand into a fist and retracting it.

He turned his head to look at the dark coffin, his slightly red eyes filled with tears, "Chen Anyu cares so much about you as his brother. If I hit you in front of him, he will definitely be angry with me."

Su Zi was about to open his eyes to look at him, but he heard Nangong Xi continue, "You just need to tell me what you sent him to investigate and who killed him, and I will avenge him."

He didn't understand why Chen Anyu died so quietly.

The mourning hall was silent. Su Ziyu also looked at the coffin. The old emperor had a different background and this was a serious matter. He had already caused Chen Anyu's tragic death and he couldn't let the person he loved take risks for this.

"This matter is dangerous. If you can convince the Prime Minister to help, I can tell you. Otherwise, you should just wait patiently. I will give you an explanation later."

Nangong Xi was not sure about convincing his father, but in order to avenge Chen Anyu, he naturally gave it his all, "My father has always listened to me, just tell me what you want."

Su Ziyu turned around and asked someone to bring paper and pen, wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to him, "The Prime Minister will know it at a glance. If he agrees, he will send someone to help you."

Nangong Xi left the Marquis' Mansion after dark. After returning, he went to his father's study and handed him the secret letter asking for men.

The prime minister was shocked after reading the letter. The content of the letter was only six words: "The emperor's identity is in doubt."

Nangong Xi was equally shocked. When his father asked about the source of the letter, he honestly explained that it was given to him by Su Ziyu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The prime minister was a fox-like man. He immediately guessed that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had sided with the Second Prince, but he was not sure whether this was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's intention or the Second Prince's.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Nangong Xi immediately knelt on the ground, took out the dagger he had prepared long ago, and placed it at his neck.

"Dad, I have never asked you for anything before, but this time I beg you to take action. The person I love is dead, and I want to avenge him."

Seeing that he was threatening to commit suicide, the Prime Minister tightened his grip on the letter. He actually knew everything about his stupid son and Chen Anyu, but it was a pity that the child had a short life.

Nangong Xi is the only child left by his old wife. He is busy with official duties and cannot spare time to discipline the child, but that does not mean he does not care about the child. "Okay, get up! I didn't say I disagree."

When Li Junze learned about Chen Anyu, his first reaction was that Su Ziyu must be feeling bad, after all, she was someone he usually kept by his side.

When he broke away from the palace, he found that Su Ziyu had lost too much weight and had no flesh on her body. It was hard to hug her, and he felt distressed.

"Susu, don't hold it in, just cry if you want to!"

Faced with his lover's concern, Su Ziyu's emotions were finally torn apart. He buried his face in his palms, and after suppressing it for a long time, he finally cried softly.

"I was the one who killed him... I'm not a good brother. I knew it was dangerous, but I still..."

Li Junze patted his back and said soothingly, "It's not your fault. You didn't know this would happen. Let's avenge Chen Anyu together."

Su Zi wanted to cry for a long time, and her tears were almost dry. She finally stopped crying and choked up, "I suspect that your majesty has a different identity. I have teamed up with Nangong Xi and will use the power of the prime minister to find out."

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, Li Junze's brain paused, "Su Su, what do you mean? Are you saying that the emperor is not the emperor?"

Su Zi pursed his lips and said, "It is very possible, but there is no evidence to prove it yet."

Li Junze's breath stopped, and he suddenly had an intuition telling him that what Su Su said was true.

I still remember that when he was young, his father and mother loved each other very much, but for some reason, one day his father suddenly became disgusted with his mother, and then his mother died and his mother's family was exterminated...

Considering the current Linxiantai, my father suddenly visited a man. All signs indicate that my father might have really been replaced without anyone knowing.

After returning to the palace, Li Junze went to the imperial bedroom in person and met the old emperor. The old emperor had been fed medicine in advance and was in a coma.

Li Junze hated the old emperor for many years, but he had never thought of the possibility that his father would be replaced. At this moment, his eyes fell vertically on the face of the person on the bed and nodded slowly.

The secret guard behind him stepped forward and carefully checked, and found that there was no obvious stratification of the skin on his face, and it did not look like he was wearing a human skin mask.

Just as the secret guard was about to report back, he caught a glimpse of something moving beneath the old emperor's neck. He blinked and took a closer look to confirm that it was not an illusion. He quickly said, "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong with His Majesty's body."

Hearing the secret guard suddenly say this, Li Junze's eyes became dim. He saw the secret guard lift up the old emperor's collar, revealing his heart, where something was clearly wriggling.

The secret guard reported: "Your Highness, it's a Gu."

Li Junze frowned. He stared at the unknown creature crawling past. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but think deeply about where this Gu came from.

On the other hand, Nangong Xi, with the help of his father, immediately joined forces with Su Ziyu. It took them nearly half a month to finally find out the truth.

The witness they found was the chief of the Miao tribe, who led the entire tribe to live in seclusion in the mountains. Chen Anyu was ambushed while on his way to invite the other party and unfortunately died.

At that time, the Miao people encountered famine and almost could not survive. The Miao chief had no choice but to lead everyone out of the village. Later, they met a man who gave him a large sum of money and asked him to help plant the Face-changing Gu.

As the name suggests, the Face-Changing Gu can change a person's appearance by gnawing at bones with the help of a worm. However, the person infected with the Face-Changing Gu will suffer from the pain of bone erosion every day.

The Miao tribe leader was secretly sent to the palace. When he saw the Gu in the old emperor's body, he immediately pointed out firmly, "This is the face-changing Gu that I was infected with back then. I didn't expect that he actually found a way to suppress it and is still alive and well today."
