Chapter 306 Leaving
Chapter 306 Departure
After collecting the valuables and weapons in the secret room, Su Yinyin continued her exploration along the secret passage.
As they ventured deeper into the secret passage, they discovered another secret chamber.
Inside the secret room were some letters and scrolls. Su Yinyin's eyes lit up; she knew these things might contain even more secrets.
Without the slightest hesitation, she put them directly into the cloth bag.
This whole process took Su Yinyin half an hour.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan had already informed the emperor of the information given by the Vice Minister of Rites.
Upon hearing this, the emperor was furious. He slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacups to jump.
He immediately ordered the strengthening of the capital's defenses, dispatching the most elite soldiers to set up checkpoints at all the city gates and key roads, while also mobilizing a large army to be on high alert and ready to deal with any possible crisis.
Zhou Yuan was worried about Su Yinyin's safety. He knew that this operation was fraught with danger and that Su Yinyin was alone outside and could encounter any mishap at any time.
He was about to bid farewell to the emperor, preparing to personally search for Su Yinyin and protect her safety.
Just then, two people appeared out of nowhere in the Imperial Study.
This sudden scene gave the emperor a big fright.
The emperor and Zhou Yuan took a closer look and realized it was Su Yinyin's bodyguard, Lao Yi.
The old man, who had been carrying the unconscious master to the imperial study, immediately threw him to the ground.
If this person weren't important, Lao Yi would never have taken the trouble to come; he would have just dragged his feet and come.
After throwing the man to the ground, he knelt on one knee and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the young lady instructed me to bring him to Your Majesty."
The young lady is still cleaning up some remaining forces and will be here shortly.
Apart from Su Yinyin, Lao Yi didn't want to say a word to anyone else.
Keep it as simple as possible.
The emperor stared intently at the unconscious old man on the ground, his eyes filled with doubt. "Who is this person?"
The old man remained unfazed and said in a calm tone, "Miss believes he is the person behind it all."
Zhou Yuan was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked, "Old One, is Yin Yin safe now? Is it dangerous for her to stay behind alone to clean up the remaining forces?"
Without even glancing at Zhou Yuan, the old man said directly, "Your Highness, rest assured, Miss will be here shortly."
The emperor took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "In that case, imprison this man in the deepest part of the imperial prison and send heavy guards to watch over him. We must not allow him any chance to escape."
Zhou Yuan, you will immediately lead a team of experts to meet Su Yinyin and ensure her safe return.
"No need, Your Majesty, Yinyin is back." Su Yinyin's voice came from outside the door.
After Su Yinyin entered, she first gave a simple bow, then took out a cloth bag and said, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from Yinyin to you."
Furthermore, this person is likely the mastermind behind the entire affair.
Afterwards, Su Yinyin reported all the details to the emperor.
From the discovery of the mysterious mansion to the thrilling encounters in the secret passage and the fierce battle with the master, everything is clearly described.
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression grew even more grave, his brows furrowing tightly. "It seems the waters behind this are far deeper than I imagined."
Su Yinyin said, "Your Majesty, this person is entrusted to you. This is a Truth Pill. This person is highly skilled in martial arts, so we must be careful."
Su Yinyin was quite sensible. After handing the Truth Pill to the Emperor, she left the Imperial Study with the First Prince.
After Su Yinyin and Lao Yi left the Imperial Study, the Emperor and Zhou Yuan took the man to a secret chamber.
They knew they had to extract more secrets from this man in order to completely purge the rebels and restore peace and prosperity to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
After leaving the palace, Su Yinyin stayed in the mansion.
Meanwhile, in the capital, as the conspiracy was gradually exposed, people were filled with fear and unease.
Those involved in the conspiracy were terrified of being implicated, living in constant fear and anxiety.
On the third day of the birthday banquet, Su Yinyin entered the palace early in the morning.
Her purpose in entering the palace was to deliver the evidence, the letter, to the emperor.
These letters and evidence were brought back from the Great Xia Kingdom, detailing the various crimes and plans of the conspirators.
Upon reading this, the emperor was furious, trembling with rage. He slammed his fist on the table and said, "Get rid of Su Gaojie."
As one of the participants in the conspiracy, Su Gaojie's crimes were undeniable, and the emperor decided to no longer tolerate him.
Su Yinyin received the emperor's order and went to the residence of the Marquis of Yongyi.
She relayed His Majesty's words to the old lady of the Marquis of Yongyi's residence, as well as her second uncle and second aunt.
Upon hearing this, the old lady, her second uncle, and her second aunt showed expressions of helplessness and sadness, and could only sigh repeatedly, but in the end they still did as she was told.
In order to survive, and for the sake of the rest of the Marquis of Yongyi's household, they had no other choice.
After leaving the Marquis of Yongyi's residence, Su Yinyin seemed completely dazed.
My mind is free of distractions, and my heart is free of hatred.
She knew all too well that the original owner's hatred had been affecting her mindset and emotions these days.
As the truth is gradually revealed, it has slowly faded away.
The only thing left for the emperor to do is to bring down the mastermind and his cronies, and then the Great Zhou Kingdom will be able to return to its former peace.
Back at the Su residence, her maternal grandmother and sisters gathered around, looking at Su Yinyin's tired yet relieved expression.
Grandmother said with heartache, "Yinyin, you've suffered a lot these past few days. Now things are finally almost resolved, and you can finally get some rest."
Su Yinyin smiled and nodded, her eyes shining with a gentle light. "Grandmother, I'm fine. As long as I can avenge my mother, it's all worth it."
Su Yue held Su Yinyin's hand, her eyes full of admiration, "Big sister, you're amazing! You must have scared those bad guys half to death this time!"
Su Yinyin patted Su Yue's head and said gently, "Bad people will eventually be punished; they deserve it."
In the days that followed, anyone who was arrested was forced to confess their crimes after taking the Truth Pill.
Based on this evidence, the emperor immediately ordered Zhou Yuan to lead the Imperial Guards to arrest these people according to the information on the roster.
In an instant, the capital was filled with unease and fear. Those treacherous officials who attempted to overthrow the Great Zhou Kingdom were all captured, with not a single one escaping.
After arduous efforts, this complex conspiracy involving multiple countries was finally completely thwarted.
The Great Zhou Kingdom has returned to its former prosperity and peace, and the people are overjoyed, with lanterns and decorations adorning the streets.
Praise for the emperor's wisdom and decisiveness spread throughout the streets and alleys, and people sang songs of celebration for the return of peace to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
When the emperor wanted to reward Su Yinyin, she had already left the capital with the old man.
She grew tired of the court intrigues and preferred traveling and sightseeing.
When the Regent found out, he wanted to chase after Su Yinyin, but instead received a letter from her.
In the letter, Su Yinyin clearly stated that she was going away for a while to clear her head, and that she was entrusting her baby to Regent Zhou Yuan because the baby was of school age and she hoped that the baby could receive a good education in the capital...
Inside the Su family villa, Su Yi (Su Yao) grumbled, "Why did you leave me at home to watch the house...!"
