"Your Highness has really asked Your Majesty to marry the Lord of Tuca?" Shu Yao, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, wore a rare scarlet long skirt today, with a red gold step of the same color on his head, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking. I thought it was a misinformation, but I came to verify it with the last hope.

"So what? This king said, you shouldn't come to Qinghe Palace. "At least in the eyes of the outside world, King Qinghe shouldn't have any personal contact with the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard. Chongyao raised the pen to write, and the waves were not alarmed.

"Your Highness has walked this road with many thorns, and I can't watch you make a mistake and have to come this time. Besides, tonight is quiet, how many people in this Jinling can keep up with my skills? "Shu Yao has always been confident, and as a rare female general, her ability should not be underestimated.

"It's rare that Qu Zhixin also has a lot of mouths." Chongyao said lightly, standing in front of the desk with his hands in his hands, and a word had been completed. He has always disliked people and talkative, and even the people under his command are all low-key and reliable.

Shu Yao saw that Chongyao's eyes were firm, and he couldn't help but persuade: "The Shu family has hundreds of lives, doesn't Your Highness remember?" Doesn't His Royal Highness remember the death of the mother? ”

Chongyao half-turned his face, the moonlight fell on his handsome half of his face, there was never emotion on his face, and he spoke heavily: "You really don't have to remind me over and over again that the Su family is the driving force behind the scenes, and I am also the executioner." Without waiting for Shu Yao to refute, Chongyao smiled fiercely, "Isn't it?" If it weren't for me, how could my uncle be so successful, just to earn a good future for me and my mother; The reason why my mother stayed in the cold palace with peace of mind was just to protect me. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, and who else can afford this crime but me. In the end, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, the corners of his mouth were half curved, but his eyes were cold.

"Your Highness, what is the reason for all this? His Majesty does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, the Su family acts as a tiger, and the concubine makes waves in the palace. Before the great cause is accomplished, and the traitors are not removed, how can you be so unambitious? I think that there was nothing in Qinghe County back then, and you were never so decadent, but now the situation is very good for us, and it is the time to make great achievements, why are you depressed? Shu Yao was very puzzled by Chongyao's depression, so many people's hopes were tied to him alone, and where could he be allowed to retreat.

Chongyao sat on the chair in the study and slammed his feet directly on the table, his expression was still cold, and even a little impatient: "How is the arrangement over there in Ge Village?" ”

Chongyao has experienced from heaven to hell since he was a child, and later grew up rapidly in Qinghe alone. As I get older, my soul becomes more and more lonely, even if I am facing my cousins, I have long lost the intimacy of ordinary people.

"Your Highness, rest assured, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the small village to ensure that not a single mosquito can fly out. I took someone to check it myself, and I didn't find anyone to inquire about it, which seems unusual. Shu Yao took a step forward and was quite skeptical.

"Three thousand horses are indeed an iron bucket there, but it is impossible to turn a blind eye unless they are absolutely sure." So where does their certainty come from? Could it be that they have other trump cards? How could there be such a strange army in Jinling in the suburbs, it is really incredible.

Throughout the ages, Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work for ten years. Although the Su family has always been criticized for the dictatorship of their relatives, firstly, it is true that the masters of the Su family in the past dynasties are talented, and secondly, since the Su family is a writer, it is not as dangerous as a general who holds a military talisman like Shu Yunjing.

"Your Highness means that they already have a countermeasure? Yasukuni has always been cunning and cunning, otherwise wait? Let's see if they will have a trick to beat a rake. "Since the fall of the crown prince, King Yu has accepted the prince's old ministry on his face, and King Qinghe can only integrate little by little in private. At this time, Qinghe Wangfu couldn't bear the slightest mistake at all. From this point of view, it is indeed a thorny road.

I didn't think that Chongyao didn't care very much, so he re-sharpened the ink by himself, and said while grinding the ink: "It's a good thing for you to be cautious, but this time you don't need to." If they beat a rake, they will have a debtor and a master, and the king of Yu will go to deal with it. As long as the two sides fight, no matter who wins or loses, we will not suffer. Just let it go! It's not too early, don't risk coming over in the future, just send someone over if you have something. ”

Shu Yao's remaining words had already been stuffed into his mouth, and the hand that was about to sharpen ink for him was also retracted, and he only replied unhappily: "Yes, Your Highness!" ”

Just when Shu Yao was about to close the door, he heard Chongyao's faint voice, "Over the years, we have delayed you." Yao, you are wise, you should know that there are some things that cannot be forced. ”

Shu Yao's feet were filled with lead, his eyes were suddenly red, and he choked to his throat, Shu Yao closed the door heavily and went out.

Chongyao opened the white paper, the tip of his nose slid down, he held the pen in his hand, but he felt that a light grip was powerful through the back of the paper. He writes letters with great tenderness, and although he doesn't talk or joke, he has a sense of seriousness and concentration.

"Since the day of Jinling's farewell outside the city, the April period has passed. Since April, every time I send a letter, I will hope to reply quickly, and the more I look forward to it, the more I am saddened, and the more I am ······."

Sprinkled with three pages, a gentle blow, is the richness of the pen and ink. Chongyao lightly clapped the table twice, and then twice, Tianying came out from the corner with a sword: "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

Chongyao re-lifted the three pieces of paper, picked up his middle finger, folded it in two, and then carefully packed it in an envelope, solemnly writing the words "pro-enlightenment". Loading letters, wax seals, and not pretending to be hands.

Tianying took it with both hands and boldly verified: "Your Highness, will it be sent to the Taoqiu Opera Club this time, or will it be sent directly to the Yasukuni Mansion?" ”

Chongyao pondered for a moment, then raised his pen and wrote another piece of paper "See you back".

He looked up and replied to Tianying: "The letter is still the same, and the paper will be sent to the Yasukuni Mansion." ”

Tianying couldn't understand it in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more, obviously the girl had already returned home, why was she still sent to the theater club? Since the incident in Ge Village, the girl didn't even bother to write a reply, and she still had to send this letter?

Chongyao could understand his expression, but he still focused on writing without explaining. He couldn't grasp her attitude, but what she could do was by no means lacking. He wrote word by word, but apparently the quality and quality were not as good as before.

Su Chi and Su Cen separated as soon as they returned to Jinling, and Su Cen did not have time to go home and went to the palace to report to His Majesty about Jinzhou affairs. And Su Chi and hurriedly returned to the house, Su Chi hurriedly and briefly bowed to Su Yuan, and walked into the inner room before asking, "Where is Aunt Zhou?" "Count the days when you should give birth, are you still in good health?

The faces of several girls turned pale, and Su Chi saw that something was wrong, and scolded: "What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"My aunt just gave birth to a child, and it's a boy. Although it is not full-term, it is very healthy. ”

"So what are you spitting out? What else does the Su family have to hide from me? ”

"The prince sent the people away, and the maidservant didn't know what was happening. But the prince of the kingdom commanded that if there is a slave with many mouths and tongues, he must hook his tongue. ”

Suddenly remembering a person, Su Chi asked, "What about the people in Aunt Zhou's yard?" ”

"It's all gone, and the slave and maid guess it's all sold. But ······"

"Huh?"

"It was said that a grandmother and a cook next to me were beaten to death, and the others didn't know."

Su Chi waved his hand to make them stand down, and had a guess in his heart. The Su family Ding is not prosperous, even if the Zhou family makes a big mistake, it is impossible to count the child as well. What's more, the people in the courtyard have been driven away, which shows that at least it is not a good thing.

Daddy didn't even choose a name for the child, and this child was just too pitiful.

What else could it be but such an unforgivable thing as losing one's body and losing one's temper? Yes, could there be more serious than the loss of body? No wonder the Zhou family was accused by the doctor every day, it turned out that someone smelled the rumors.

In the evening, Su Chi and Su Yuan had dinner together. The two were going to wait for Su Cen to be together, but they didn't come back in the evening, Su Chi was worried about Su Yuan's body, so he simply persuaded Su Yuan to move the chopsticks first, only saying that Su Cen came back and added a pair of chopsticks.

Xu hadn't seen each other for a few months, and Su Chi saw that Su Yuanqing had lost a lot, so he personally arranged the ingredients for dinner in distress. Both father and daughter are good at verbal and sociable people, and they eat a meal with relish, and Suchi serves cloth and vegetables, and they are even more attentive and thoughtful.

Suddenly, Su Yuan sighed: "My family Ah Chi has grown up, and I don't know which family is cheaper if I am so virtuous and virtuous?" ”

Su Chi poured the wine for a moment, and immediately turned pale as usual, and only smiled without spilling a drop: "Daddy is used to making fun of his daughter, and it is not too late to mention my marriage when the eldest brother marries his sister-in-law." ”

"That's too late, your eldest brother is an unenlightened person, and you can't use the excuse that he delayed you in vain. Your Majesty and the Empress have been concerned about your marriage lately, and it is indeed time for this to be on the agenda. ”

Su Chi looked at Su Yuan's face and weighed his words, "This time I went to Jinzhou, my daughter saw that her parents and relatives were isolated by the disease during the epidemic, so she returned to Jinling with what she thought. The daughter used to be unfilial, but now she wants to serve her father and brother at home for a few more years. ”

"Prince, now it's time to call King Changxin, since he has been crowned king, he should come to Jinling to accept the edict. You brothers and sisters don't persuade you to do it? ”

"Although King Changxin has a gentler temperament, he is not soft in his bones, Deputy Commander Shu can't do it, where can we do it? His Royal Highness's illness is menacing, who is not wholeheartedly obedient, but "I was hurt by this holy decree."

"Ah Chi, be cautious." Su Yuan gagged her mouth and spoke again: "What did the doctor named Ning An do?" ”

"Although the medical skills are not perfect, this person is dedicated to studying the epidemic, and there is no merit and hard work. But the heavens are not merciful, they have been infected with the epidemic and died. "Ning'an is the joint product of Su Yuan's matchmaking and heavy skill, Su Chi has decided to put this matter down gently, and will never let anyone with a heart make more fuss about this matter. At least she couldn't question Su Yuan face to face, she couldn't have known that all too well.

"When a person dies, he is heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. The death of a doctor from illness is not a disgrace. However, Ning An is the nominal imperial doctor after all, and your eldest brother mentioned it when he reported on his work, and when His Majesty mourns his death, he will be crowned with a family. "Su Yuan sandwiched a chopsticks of shallots and tofu, which was refreshing and delicious.

Su Chi said yes, but he knew in his heart that since his father sent him, it was impossible not to know his family situation. But when he mentioned it so kindly and gently, Su Chi was not very happy in his heart. This unhappiness comes from Su Yuan's sometimes support and sometimes suppression of Ning Lizhen, and this unhappiness also comes from his disregard for life and his indifference to the truth as a superior person.

Su Ji wanted to ask about Zhou, but apparently such a topic was not suitable for a warm moment like dinner, so the topic went back.

I don't know what Su Yuan thought, and suddenly arranged for Su Chi: "I heard that Ah Yao is sick, His Royal Highness King Yu has newly married the princess, you have time to prepare some gifts to go to King Yu's Mansion to see Ah Yao, she has a strong temperament, and it is inevitable that she can't think about it." Now she and the Yuwang Mansion are both prosperous and lossy, the status of the King of Yu is precious, and her good days are ahead. ”

"The eldest sister is open-minded, so she must not think too much. With our family supporting her, even the new Princess Yu didn't dare to do anything. Su Chi's eyes were scorching, with three points of childishness, and he said the word "support" with full temperament.

"Support? His Royal Highness King Yu is affectionate and friendly, since she is married to a woman, we should naturally express it. But everything is too much, and too much attention is harmful to her. ”

"That daughter still doesn't want to get married, she will be a father's daughter for the rest of her life, so she won't be bullied."

"Poor mouth? If it weren't for the fact that her father had blocked her in the past few years, the decree to give marriage would have come down a long time ago. However, now that Your Majesty is bringing up your marriage again, my father thinks that the candidate is not bad. Although His Royal Highness King Qinghe is a few years older than you, he has no concubines, and he is ······."

Hearing this, a bowl of Suchi, who was sipping soup, was almost burned by himself.

Su Yuan looked at her with a smile and quipped, "It turns out that my family Ah Chi also has such a time when he is in a hurry?" ”

Su Chi took the handkerchief handed by the maid, waited until he wiped it gently, and then turned Su Yuan's words in his heart before he said with a straight face: "King Qinghe? The son of the late Queen? ”

"Yes, what does Ah Chi think?"

"I've seen it a few times in the palace, but it doesn't seem to be as gentle as King Changxin, nor like the hardness and purity of His Royal Highness King Yu, so I don't have much impression. But no matter how good it is, I won't marry, King Qinghe's fief is so far away, I don't want to marry. Soike seemed to be thinking carefully.

"Not every prince has to be a vassal." Although Su Yuan's words are short, they are profound.

Su Chi thought about it, glanced at Su Yuan, the two looked at each other and smiled, Su Chi said: "I don't want to bet on this, success or failure, I am a loser." I'd rather raise fish and grow flowers in this compound, and occasionally visit the market and lanterns. "Don't live in a golden palace.

Su Yuan looked at her seriously, "Then you have to think about it, there are some things that there is no regret medicine in the world." ”

Su Chi flashed a lot of pictures in his heart, when he first saw him in the palace, he knelt in an ink robe in front of the south study on the golden wall of the jade ladder and asked for his mother's life. The people who came and went looked sneering, and his back would rather not bend.

He hurt her eyes in Qinghe County that day, and then tried to remedy it, in the villa they were not old enemies, but ordinary men and women, little by little testing each other, getting closer and closer, and their feelings were secretly born.

On the village, he left without faith, and the frustration in her heart has not disappeared to this day, and the longer she complains.

There are also letters pressed under the makeup······

Su Chi smiled at Su Yuan's eyes: "Don't marry." "Don't regret it!

It is impossible for Daddy to marry himself to King Qinghe, this is a certainty, Su Chi wanted to laugh, but he didn't smile.

"How's this pigeon soup?"

"What's the difference?" Could it be that a new chef is here?

"This is a pigeon specially sent a message, and today a pigeon recognized the wrong door and circled in the yard, so it was shot down by Sang Yu and made soup. Tastes good, right? Su Yuan seemed to be inadvertent.

Su Chi felt a chill in his heart, and sure enough, his father was tempting before. Pity Chongyao's hard-trained pigeons, which were served as dinner····· That's a warning!
