Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Su Mingjin felt uneasy. As the son of the eldest princess, he was noble from birth. The emperor doted on him and the empress dowager spoiled him, and all the princes and princesses wanted to please him.

But now, he was trapped in his own garden and couldn't go anywhere.

No, he can go out, but the guards around him cannot go out. What difference does this make to restricting his whereabouts?

A lot has happened in these two days.

On the first day, the riot was brought under control immediately and the troublemakers were arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Although those people were paid to do the work and knew nothing, he had been targeted by the Jinyiwei and had to be careful with his words and actions, let alone secretly transporting contraband out.

They could only pretend and let the border guards take away some of their daily belongings and furniture.

To make matters worse, he was told that something happened in Fenghuang Tower. Xiao Linfeng and Ning Zhiwei came to his house and extorted 500,000 yuan from him, asking him to think of a solution.

Phoenix Building is a crucial part of his business empire. Not only does it make money from it, but it also ties several companies together.

It can also cover up for him to do other things secretly.

MD, how did these two get together?

One is the plague god, the other is a jinx. When they join forces, their destructive power is too great.

He had already asked the censor to file a severe complaint in order to drag Ning Zhiwei into the water and disrupt her plans.

But he always felt that he couldn't trap Ning Zhiwei, this woman was too weird.

Moreover, he was trapped in Furong Garden and the news was delayed.

"Young Master, the Emperor was furious in the court, and several censors who stepped out were fined three months' salary."

Su Mingjin was stunned, "How many?"

"Four."

Su Mingjin was furious, "Who asked them to file a complaint together? It's superfluous. The emperor is getting suspicious."

What a bunch of idiots. The emperor hates forming cliques and pursuing personal interests the most.

"The emperor also gave the Phoenix Tower to Ning Zhiwei."

Su Mingjin's face turned green, and his heart was bleeding. After a long moment, he smiled bitterly, "Uncle Emperor is warning us."

The most important thing is that he was suspected by the emperor, and it was estimated that the Jinyiwei would keep a secret eye on him in the coming days.

He had to think of a way to dispel the emperor's suspicion.

The subordinate couldn't help but get anxious, "What should we do? Just sit back and do nothing?"

Su Mingjin couldn't fall asleep at night, and his eyes were red from staying up all night. "It's better to be still than to move. Be quiet."

Damn it, everything has been going wrong for him lately. I wonder which deity he has offended. Should he go and pray?

"Will father be able to come back in time tomorrow?"

"Yes, we have already reached Jing County. We will be there when the city gates open tomorrow morning."

"That's great." Su Mingjin now relies entirely on his father to break the impasse.

Dad, come back soon.

At this moment, he didn't know that the future think tank had already been snatched away by Ning Zhiwei.

That night, in Jing County, a day's journey from the capital, a group of men in black surrounded an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, driving on the official road into the capital.

This is the only way.

A majestic voice came from the carriage, "Faster."

"Yes, my lord."

Suddenly, the horse in front neighed, twisted its leg, and the rider fell out.

Others reined in their horses and hurriedly warned, "Oh no, there's a tripwire, there's an ambush."

"Everyone, be alert and protect the lord first."

It was too late. Rockets were fired at the carriage. The carriage looked ordinary, but it was actually specially made. It was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was not susceptible to water or fire.

However, the horse's fur was burned, and the horse was frightened. It neighed, raised its hooves upwards, broke free from the reins, and ran away wildly.

The carriage was shaking wildly, swaying from side to side. The distinguished man inside lost his balance and was caught off guard, hitting his head on the body of the carriage with a loud noise.

He didn't have time to check his injuries, but reacted quickly, reaching out to grab the window and holding on tightly. He used so much force that veins bulged on his hands and his face turned pale.

"Save the lord, quickly."

They had to rescue people and resist the attacks, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

When everyone was scrambling to kill the out-of-control horse and rescue the injured lord, most of their manpower had been lost and many men in black fell in a pool of blood.

The lord had a big swelling on his head and multiple abrasions on his face, looking very disheveled. Although he was not young anymore, his outstanding demeanor could not be concealed, and the mature charm bestowed by time was particularly charming.

This is none other than the most handsome man in the past, the Prince Consort Su Haozhi.

He pursed his lips, looked at his panicked subordinates, and took a deep breath, "Don't panic, send a distress signal."

His calm and composed attitude calmed the panicked man in black in time.

Red fireworks exploded in the air, lighting up the entire night sky and startling countless people.

Seeing this, the sentry on the city wall not far away hurriedly reported to his superiors that something had happened.

The boss did not dare to delay and gathered people to come and check it out.

Rockets were shot at the men in black, who held shields and protected the lord in the middle. Su Haozhi remained calm and showed no fear.

The men in black turned from defense to offense and rushed towards the ambush point. The two sides fought each other and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

Su Haozhi watched from afar, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "This is a soldier, we must leave him alive..."

He wanted to see more clearly, so he pulled the guards in front of him away. At this moment, a long arrow shot straight into Su Haozhi's face. The guards around him were so scared that their hearts and livers burst and they screamed.

"My lord, be careful."

A man in black rushed over without hesitation and pushed him down, but he was hit by an arrow in the abdomen and bleeding profusely.

The other men in black rushed forward one after another, surrounding Su Haozhi tightly.

Su Haozhi's face looked terrible. "Hold on for a while, the nearby reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Bullshit."

At the command, the other side retreated quickly and the man in black chased after them.

Su Haozhi looked at the dead and wounded men in black on the ground and his face twitched. These were his trusted confidants who had followed him for many years and were loyal to him, but they died here.

After a while, the men in black who had been chasing came back. The leading man took a sign and presented it to the lord with both hands.

"My lord, we didn't catch up, we only found this."

Su Haozhi took it and looked at it carefully, his face extremely solemn, "This is the badge of the Imperial Guards."

The guards all changed their expressions. "What do you mean?"

Over the years, Su Haozhi was most worried about his identity being exposed, so he put in place layers of protection. Now that he was suddenly involved with the Emperor's Imperial Guards, he felt nervous.

"Jia Yi, go investigate quickly and activate the chess pieces in the palace."

"Yes."

"My Lord, you are injured. I will bandage you first..."

"No need, I'm fine. I'll be back to Beijing soon." Su Haozhi had a bad feeling in his heart.

This ambush came swiftly and accurately, catching him off guard.

However, the only ones who knew his itinerary were Su Mingjin and his men.

Could it be that there was a spy inside? When he thought of this, he was so worried that he wanted to grow wings and fly back to the capital.

"My lord." The subordinate looked at Su Haozhi worriedly and uneasily.

I've followed him for many years, but this is the first time I've seen him suffer such a big loss.

As Su Haozhi stepped onto the saddle, his vision suddenly went dark, his body went numb, and he fell off.

"Oh no, the badge is poisonous."
