Chapter 231 Blood Feud

Jiuyu recognized at a glance that the person leading the Imperial Guard was the leader of the dead soldiers under his mother's command, the person he was following today.

He suddenly stood in front of Su Wan: "Stay back."

Su Wan was stunned and looked at Jiu Yu's thin back with a complicated expression.

I didn't miss the surprise in his eyes when he saw the person coming. He must have known the person in front of him, as if he was facing a powerful enemy, not a friendly army.

Miss Fan also realized something was wrong and quickly came to Jiu Yu's side, protecting Su Wan together.

She couldn't help but ask: "Miss Su, are the people in the Ancestral Temple okay?"

"It's okay." Su Wan was very sensitive to smells, especially after experiencing the Tokugawa incident, and did not dare to take anything in the palace lightly. Especially the death of Tokugawa, there must be someone behind it.

She did not want to be the empress of Xi Liang, nor was she willing to be the crown princess of Xi Liang. The Supreme Empress and the Empress could not resist her, so in the end they had no choice but to go ahead and confer Wei Liuyin as the crown princess.

The Supreme Empress is willing to take a step back, but there is one requirement: Su Wan must enter the Wei family's jade certificate.

Ji Xuan didn't care, anyway, whether her surname was Ji or Wei, she was still his daughter.

Su Wan had no objection. As long as it didn't restrict her freedom, she could say anything.

Today is not only the canonization of the Crown Princess, but also the recognition of her ancestors.

The Supreme Empress wanted to introduce her to the civil and military officials to show that she valued her, so Su Wan also wanted to attend the celebration. When she entered the Ancestral Temple, she smelled a faint smell of saltpeter, so she gave the queen a look and asked her to investigate the Ancestral Temple.

They actually found a large amount of gunpowder buried in the altar.

The person who was lurking inside and was behind the scenes wanted to report the matter when he saw it exposed. Su Wan immediately asked the Queen to give the order to close the door and kill them.

The person who was able to do something in the Ancestral Temple showed that he had great magical powers. It would have been a long night and many dreams, so he came up with a plan. Everyone hid in a secret passage. Su Wan detonated the gunpowder and lured the snake out of the hole.

She glanced at the people lying on the ground. They were all enemies.

"All unscathed." Su Wan repeated.

Miss Fan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the Imperial Guards: "It is your Imperial Guards' fault that such a big thing happened in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. If you don't go and find out who did it quickly!"

The leader of the dead soldiers ignored Miss Fan and stared at Jiuyu. The veins in the hand pressing on the sword bulged. It seemed that he did not expect that the young master was still alive. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said hoarsely: "Young master. , come here quickly.”

"An Yi, stop." Jiu Yu did not move and persuaded: "As a human son, I stand on the principle of filial piety and should avenge her mother's death. But it was her fault that she ended up in this situation. If it weren't for If you want to usurp the throne, how come your head is in a different place?"

An Yi looked at Jiuyu in shock, with a look that looked at a traitor: "Young master, the blood feud must be avenged. Before your mother died, she asked you to come back to avenge her. The master has not found you for so many years. I thought you had no chance of escaping. Come back and don’t let your master down.”

The look he looked at Su Wan was filled with murderous intent.

Because Jiu Yu was in the way, An Yi couldn't take action.

Jiuyu saw his murderous intention and wanted to say something else. Suddenly, another group of people came, and the hope in their eyes was instantly shattered when they touched the people. His face was covered with black lines like spider webs, and Jiu Yu recognized this person from the familiar outline.

With his throat rolling, he called out harshly: "Father."
