Chapter 264: Public or Private
Su Qing didn't know what to say for a while, but there was an inexplicable voice in her heart telling her that this matter was not the initiative of the eldest father.
But she still has some questions about the eldest princess, such as having been friends with her mother for so many years, hasn't she noticed anything abnormal?
For example, why did her mother give the box of things to the eldest princess for safekeeping when she was dying? Perhaps, she already knew something?
"I've been paying attention to your news since you returned to the capital, wouldn't it be more convenient to do it in the capital?"
The eldest princess lowered her head as if she didn't want to see Su Qing's face, and there was a little loss in her tone: "What I want to tell you is that there must be a conspiracy in your palace, if you don't believe me, I don't have anything more to say." ”
"Since you've been paying attention to me since I returned to Beijing, why didn't you give me those things from my mother's relatives earlier?" Su Qing's voice was faint.
"What kind of things do you say?" the eldest princess raised her head, and there seemed to be a bit of surprise in her eyes: "Can you understand those things?"
"I can naturally understand what my mother left me, but how can the eldest princess know that I may not understand?"
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, she looked carefully at the young woman sitting in front of her, her expression was calm, but the light in her eyes was eight points similar to her deceased mother.
They were indeed the same people, and she suddenly laughed softly: "Because I have also seen those things, and the key is with me, isn't it easy to open it?"
"Then why are you lying to me again?" Su Qing was not surprised at all by such an answer, she seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.
"Qing'er. The smile on the eldest princess's face suddenly deepened, as if she saw what she expected, and there was even a little joy in her eyes.
Su Qing frowned, and the eldest princess suddenly called her like this, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
"I finally understand why you retreated to the prince's marriage and chose the king of war, you already know what will happen in the future, don't you?"
"Your mother has some ability to predict the future, she saved my life, but she can't save herself, what about you? Can you see your future?"
The more the eldest princess spoke, the lower her tone became, and when she said that, she suddenly raised her head and laughed, and there were two lines of tears that slipped down when she laughed.
"I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I have never wanted to hurt you, your mother has a life-saving grace for me, I will not repay the grievances with virtue, if you think that I poisoned you, you can kill or chop it. ”
Xiao Jingchen heard some strange movements in the house in the courtyard outside, and just as he wanted to go in to see Su Qing, he walked out.
She hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Su Qing's somewhat lost soul, and frowned: "How is it?"
"Lord Wang. Su Qing raised his head, his eyes slowly focused, staring at Xiao Jingchen's dark eyes, and then shook his head lightly and made a lip gesture to him.
At dawn the next day, many maids carried buckets and rags to clean up the courtyard where the eldest princess lived.
Many people are a little curious about such a big movement, can the place where the eldest princess lived be so dirty?
Qingshuang heard the movement and glanced at the gate of the courtyard, and saw that many people were watching the excitement, so she also came over.
"Sister Qingshuang, something big happened in the house last night. The two little girls on the side of the road saw her and hurriedly came over to get close to her.
"Sister Qingshuang is the most powerful girl next to the princess, what happened Sister Qingshuang must be the first to know, and she still uses you to be courteous?"
The other little girl just looked flattering and held Qingshuang's arm.
"It's just that our princess looks very kind on weekdays, and it's still a little scary to move, I heard that last night she didn't let the prince interfere, and she carried a knife into the eldest princess's house. ”
As she spoke, the little girl showed a frightened expression: "I heard that the blood is all over the ground!"
Qingshuang's eyes widened suddenly, she couldn't speak, her expression was written on her face, and the little girl saw that she seemed to be scared of her, so she quickly patted her mouth.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't talk nonsense, scare Sister Qingshuang. ”
"The two girls over there also came to help, this person is not enough, don't be stunned there. The housekeeper on the side waved at this side.
The two girls hurriedly trotted over to help, leaving Qingshuang standing alone, and waited until they were all far away before she turned back.
As soon as she entered the door but happened to bump into Su Qing, she seemed to be startled, but Su Qing still looked at her as usual: "What's wrong?"
Qingshuang shook her head, stretched out her finger to the kitchen, and turned to walk over.
Su Qing stood at the door and looked at her back a little distracted, and she didn't even notice Xiao Jingchen coming over, until he spoke beside him: "What are you stunned here?"
"Ah......" Su Qing was also taken aback, and turned around to see Xiao Jingchen: "Why did the prince come over silently?" I was just thinking about who that person would be. ”
"Do you suspect it's someone close to you?" Xiao Jingchen frowned slightly, and Su Qing did not deny it.
Xiao Jingchen patted her on the shoulder: "The trap is set, and you have to wait for a while before the prey will take the initiative to send it to the door, and today this king will take you out for a walk." ”
"And me, and me!" The child's immature voice sounded from behind Xiao Jingchen, and Su Qing turned his head to find that Xiao Molin was also here.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay." ”
Xiao Jingchen said that he took her out for a walk and actually took her to the military camp, which was beyond her imagination, and it couldn't be seen at all, almost spreading to the mountains in the distance.
"How many troops do you have?" Su Qing was a little curious, no wonder the royal family was so jealous of him.
"There are only 30,000 in this barracks, and the rest are scattered all over the place, a total of not less than 100,000. Xiao Jingchen replied quickly and in detail, this can be regarded as digging money from her.
Su Qing frowned, the population of ancient society was not as good as that of modern society, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they were all elite soldiers, which was indeed a huge threat to the royal family.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Su Qing didn't speak, Xiao Jingchen led her to a clearing next to her.
"I'm wondering, how can you manage so many troops alone?" Su Qing looked around, this camp was divided into multiple areas, each with a different type of training.
Almost all of those soldiers were training hard, and whether anyone was watching or not, these consciousnesses alone were incomparable to ordinary people.
"Most of this force was obtained from my father, and they swore to follow my father to the death, and I basically didn't need to do anything about it. ”
Xiao Jingchen said and beckoned, and someone next to him led two horses: "These are war horses, do you want to give it a try?"
