"Childe, you slept so late last night, why don't you rest much this morning. The attendant glanced at the unbright sky outside the window, and then looked at Xu Jinyan, his eyes were already a little worried.

These days, the son doesn't know what's going on, he is tireless in learning, he doesn't care about his body at all, he sleeps later than them, and he gets up before dawn every day. Recently, there seems to be nothing to do in the eyes of the prince except for study, and what the attendant sees the most every day is the appearance of him holding a scroll and burying his head in hard reading.

Xu Jinyan shook his head lightly and rejected the waiter's proposal. After a hurried freshening up and breakfast, he buried himself in the scroll again.

The attendant sighed imperceptibly, and it was not easy to persuade him again, so he had to stand aside.

The sound of the wooden door being slammed was particularly abrupt in the silent room, and then a series of small footsteps and a soft and gentle call came into Xu Jinyan's ears.

"Yan'er. ”

Xu Jinyan raised his head when he heard this, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and saluted the visitor: "Yan'er has seen Madame." ”

"Eh, you child, why are you still so outward-looking? With my close relationship with you, I should call my grandmother. Why are you not used to living in my grandmother's place, and I have a dislike for my grandmother?" Ma smiled with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Xu Jinyan with a little more inquiry.

"No...... No. Xu Jinyan's cheeks were dyed a little red in an instant, and it seemed a little difficult to speak, and he muttered for a long time before saying: "Really, the etiquette cannot be abolished, besides, with such a young face as you, Jinyan really thinks that the word 'grandmother' is not suitable for you." ”

Ma Shi suddenly covered his lips with a handkerchief and chuckled, "Yan'er has been able to speak more and more recently, grandmother saves you from being busy with your studies recently, which is of course a good thing, but you should also take care of your own body more, no, grandmother specially asked the kitchen to stew a bowl of ginseng soup for you, drink it while it's hot." ”

Xu Jinyan's slender ink eyebrows moved slightly, but he took the ginseng soup handed by Ma's subordinates with a light smile on his face, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Ma didn't stay too long before leaving, and the light smile on Xu Jinyan's face disappeared without a trace the moment she left.

"You drank this bowl of ginseng soup for me. While speaking, Xu Jinyan had already buried his head in the book again.

The attendant only thought that Xu Jinyan had used a little too much breakfast this morning, and seeing that Xu Jinyan was not joking, he listened to the order and drank the ginseng soup.

The attendant who was focused on drinking the soup did not see Xu Jinyan's clenched and loosened fist, and his slightly pale face.

……

Su Qingyuan, who returned to Su Mansion after a busy day, met Aunt Zhao who seemed to have been waiting for a long time in front of the door of his study. Looking at Aunt Zhao's face, she knew that she had something to discuss with her, and Su Qingyuan let her into the study without hesitation.

"Master, the concubine came today to tell you about the eldest lady, last night she arrived at the concubine's Huiyin Hall, hoping that the concubine could help her think of a way to let the lord allow her to go to the capital with you, but the concubine did not dare to respond to this matter privately. Over the years, the concubine has received enough favors from the lord with Jing'er, and there is no reason to be so ignorant, but the concubine is also filial piety when she looks at the eldest lady, and she is really a little unbearable......"

Seeing that Su Qingyuan did not react, Aunt Zhao spoke again: "Originally, the concubine didn't plan to say this to the master, how could the concubine not know that with the master's love for a daughter, she would be willing to let the eldest lady go to such a dangerous place in the capital, but the incident that the eldest lady talked about with the concubine last night made the concubine a little worried, so she cheekily came to disturb the master." The eldest lady said, Qing'an Houye's people seem to be unable to hold back, if he has really discovered your identity, I am afraid that even if he is in Yizhou, he may not be able to hide from him. The concubine understands that the lord is worried about the safety of the eldest lady, but she is the daughter of that person, if she goes to the capital, she will definitely be able to get shelter, according to the concubine's humble opinion, it is much safer than staying in Yizhou. ”

Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, he had to admit that what Aunt Zhao said was not completely unreasonable, but he already had a countermeasure in his heart.

"I'm going to the capital, no matter whether it works out or not, I'll do my best to protect you. I originally planned to send someone to escort you to a safer place to hide for a while if my identity was really discovered, but that would be too wronged for you......" Su Qingyuan's handsome face was a look of sadness that could not be concealed,

If he had chosen to live incognito from the beginning, these things that made it difficult for him to choose might not exist at all. It's just that this is obviously impossible, these years he has worked hard to embark on the road of business, seeking all the ways he can seek to climb up, and even risking his life to go to the capital, joining the army of doing business in the Western Regions, and finally found the opportunity to become an imperial businessman. All this he did had already pushed him and all the Su family members to the forefront.

It's just that Su Qingyuan doesn't have any remorse in his heart, if he hadn't always had that oath in his heart, I'm afraid that he would have already embarked on the path of softness, and now although he is still alive, he is no different from a walking corpse. All the reasons why he lived were for the renew oath he made back then, and in order to fulfill the vow, he was willing to pay the price of his life. It's just that although he doesn't care about his life and death, it is difficult to give up the safety of his relatives, everything that happened in the capital is unknown, if he is unlucky and dies, how can the people of the Su family be good when he is down?

"I know everything you said, so you should step back and let me think about it. ”

This matter is much more difficult than his usual business.

Su Qi quickly got the result of Aunt Zhao's conversation with Su Qingyuan, since Su Qingyuan only said that she thought about it, that means that she still had a chance to persuade Su Qingyuan to agree to take her to the capital.

In order to persuade Su Qingyuan, Su Qi not only went to find Aunt Zhao, but also begged Mrs. Su for a long time, but Mrs. Su's attitude was not much different from Su Qingyuan. In fact, she didn't expect Aunt Zhao to persuade Su Qingyuan, all she wanted was to know more about the Su family and Su Qingyuan's experience. Su Qingyuan was reluctant to take her to the capital, she could know that there must be a secret when she thought about this matter casually, what she needed to do was to collect more truth, so that she could have confidence in her heart, and she could also think of countermeasures faster and better when she encountered problems in the future.

As for Su Qingyuan's reluctance to take her to the capital, she had already thought of a countermeasure. Although that method seemed a bit out of the ordinary, she couldn't handle it that much. Horizontally and vertically, she must go to the capital, even if she knows that there are many dangers, she is duty-bound.
