It's already winter, the yard is covered in silver, the branches are accumulating with yesterday's snowflakes, the yard is very quiet, Su Chi is helping the sickly prince Ning Lizhen to walk around the yard. Ning Lizhen's injuries have improved a bit, and the external injuries are recovering well, but the abdominal injuries and organs are difficult to recover for a while.

How reserved the imperial doctor's words were, Su Chi and Ning Lizhen knew very well in their hearts that Su Chi had asked the imperial doctor in private. It was only two or three sentences, and the imperial doctor was so frightened that his feet were so weak that he didn't even dare to reply, and Su Chi knew that this matter was not simple. Later, Ning Lizhen asked the imperial doctor in private, and Su Chi heard outside the door, "From now on, there will be heartache in the spring and summer, and you must avoid great joy and sorrow." The knife wound penetrates deep into the heart and lungs, and it is inevitable that the life span will not be long. This was later confirmed by Soya.

Su Chi's original footsteps came to a halt like this, these days the prince's brother never mentioned this matter, he drank tea as usual, ate some light food, turned off the lights and went to bed on time, and there was nothing wrong with holding the action. Day by day, he is losing weight day by day, Su Chi changes the flowers and plants in his room day by day, and even does the soup himself, just want him to be better quickly. He was just more silent than before, although he also gaged and joked, but that smile made Su Chi feel distressed. Knowing that this time was extraordinary, Suzen went to check early in the morning.

Su Cen's footsteps were heard as soon as Lian Jiazi was different, and Su Chi didn't need to turn his head to know that he was coming. Ning Lizhen looked at the red plum in the courtyard, and didn't look back and said to Su Cen, "The prince is here?"

Su Czen clasped his fists and saluted, and replied, "Your Highness." ”

Su Chi did not retreat, even if it was government affairs, as long as it was not a bloody and brutal thing, Ning Lizhen would never avoid her. Su Cen is her brother, Su Chi helped Ning Lizhen sit down, and Ning Lizhen said: "This plum blossom is really better than a day!"

Su Chi followed his gaze and saw that the red plum was really proud and independent in the snow, and couldn't help but sigh: "The more wind and frost, the more wind and bones, it is indeed the first fragrance in the world!"

Su Chi's words were a pun, Ning Lizhen was slightly distracted when she heard this, and remembered that her broken body was a little moved, in the past, she could shoot a bow and arrows, and hunt in the west wind, but now it is difficult to even go out of this courtyard. Could it be that this is Beiwan's prince demeanor? Ning Lizhen controlled her emotions and read the poem in Su Chi's mouth: "The clear spring is coldly soaked and the plum is soaked, and the first fragrance in the world is shared." In the past, Taifu always said that if the heart is different, the scene must be different, but now I know that this is really the case. ”

Su Cen has never been a sad person, so he got straight to the point: "Your Highness, most of the disaster relief things have been completed, and only ······ remain"

Ning Lizhen interrupted him unusually and waved his hand: "You can discuss the disaster relief matter, and after the matter is over, you will present it to Lone." I'm tired and need to rest early. Ning Lizhen got together, and the guards who were originally guarding the side helped him into the house.

Su Cen smiled helplessly, and was pulled out of the yard by Su Chi, and after Ning Lizhen fell asleep, Su Cen quickly opened up the disaster relief matters in his hands. Previously, because of the disagreement between the prince and Su Zen, many things were difficult to do, but after the prince fell asleep, Su Cen accelerated his pace and made urgent arrangements, and after Su Cen was imprisoned for more than a dozen corrupt officials in a row, the food for disaster relief was found.

By the time Ning Lizhen woke up from his illness under Su Ya's care, it was already a different scene, but since Su Cen's method was effective, Ning Lizhen simply publicly supported him and openly handed over the decree to him. Ning Lizhen's extremely gentlemanly and generous approach made Su Cen, who was different from the Dao, also very admired. Therefore, although the two have some disagreements, they are comrades-in-arms in the general direction and people who fight together with the same enemy.

Because of Ning Lizhen's illness, Su Chi didn't dare to take it lightly, although he was a doctor who dispensed medicine on weekdays, he had to pass Su Ya's hands. Su Chi also often keeps an eye on this side, for fear that there will be any more moths. Su Cen watched Su Chi run here day by day, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, "After all, you haven't been out of the cabinet yet, there is a difference between men and women, don't give people a chance to gossip." ”

Su Chi didn't care about this, "Brother Prince's injury is so weird, does the eldest brother have a clue?"

Su Cen lowered his head and took two steps forward before replying, "There are indeed some clues. ”

Su Chi wondered that Su Cen was bold, and he didn't hesitate to arrest those big officials this time, why did he procrastinate now. Su Chi raised his eyebrows, "But what's the problem?"

Su Cen looked up: "As you expected, this incident is not an accident. ”

Su Chi was not surprised, "One by one, one by one, where is it like an accident? I'm afraid that if it's Yi Ya, the book doesn't have such a plot." Although it is a fight between the people of the two places, the ordinary people, even if they do not fully believe in the identity of the prince's elder brother, but how can it be others who dare to use force on the spot. The prince's brother has been banished to such a place, are they still so jealous? If they are okay, as long as they are not ······" As long as it is not from His Majesty's suspicion, then Ning Lizhen wants to turn over, there is always a chance.

Su Cen chuckled when she heard Su Chi's words: "Yi Ya? Your opera club has been open for so long, can the eldest brother go to your account if he goes? Our Ah Chi has never made loss-making transactions, and I don't know if we have earned enough dowry these days?" In Su Cen's opinion, it is just a small hobby, some people love the thin waist of willow, some people love the green bamboo of Suiyuan, and it doesn't hurt that Su Chi likes a joke. But some people say that Su Chi likes the famous characters on the stage, and this word has changed its flavor as it spreads. Since Su Chi has his own drama club, it is convenient to come and go, and it is best not to listen to people's gossip.

Su Chi didn't want to deliberately hide it from Su Cen, whether it was Su Cen, Su Yuan or Chongyao, the authority given to men in this era was destined to make these things not difficult as long as they wanted to investigate. Therefore, Su Chi wanted to know what was going on outside, so he had to use Su Cen Su Yuan, Chong Yao, and Yi Ya and Xie Yu. But Su Chi obviously didn't plan to bring this matter into the topic, so she gently revealed: "Big brother can go casually, others will go at most five percent off, and rich people like big brother will have to slaughter five or six times the price." By the way, what did the eldest brother find?"

"I noticed that there was something wrong with this matter, so I interrogated the person who took the lead overnight, but I didn't expect everyone to push and shove, and they didn't even admit it. So I and the local squire Wu Chang checked one by one, Jinzhou City is fine, and the people of Xuanzhou are scattered, where can they still find their fellow villagers? But all the people who can verify their identities are old, weak, sick and disabled, or a few scholars who are powerless, and the others insist that they have never done anything. ”

Su Chi retorted, "This is impossible, although the prince's brother is weak by nature, but that is his character, not his physique." Although he is not good at martial arts, he is also a royal son, and he is good at arching and riding horses. As for His Royal Highness King Yu, who is not as skilled as His Royal Highness King Yu who leads troops on the battlefield, it is enough for self-preservation. What's more, I have already asked the people around the prince, and I only said that the situation was critical at that time, and the four of them could not stop it, so it can be seen that someone stumbled the footsteps of those guards. In this way, it seems that this in itself is an elaborate murder. ”

Or rather, attempted murder. Suzen added unexpectedly.

This was out of Su Chi's reasoning, and he was very surprised: "Attempted murder?

Su Cen turned around, "You forgot that Imperial Doctor Ning?"

"At the beginning, the eldest brother reported this to his father, and his father was worried that His Majesty's reply was too slow and missed the injury of the prince's brother, so he sent Imperial Doctor Ning. As far as I know, this Imperial Physician Ning is not only the Holy Hand of Xinglin, but also a person who is good at this disease, and his medical skills are superb and his medical ethics are touching. Su Chi was expressionless and told Su Cen what he had seen.

Su Cen sneered: "These rumors in the market, can it be that you really believe them?"

"Although I also have a lot of doubts about this Lord Ning, there are two reasons to put him on hold. First, Imperial Physician Ning came from the people, and although he had a file in the Imperial Hospital, he was far away from Jinling and was impartial in his identity; second, Imperial Physician Ning was the person who was sent by his father's letter, so how could he trust him so much if he were not a loyal person? Among the princes, the one that his father valued most was the prince's brother. Daddy said that as long as His Majesty does not explicitly depose the prince, then the Su family will support the prince set by His Majesty. ”

Hearing Su Chi's last words, Su Cen was slightly distracted, about the choice of the Su family in the future among the princes, Su Cen knocked on the side many times, but Su Yuan never let go, and now he told Ah Chi so easily. Suzen is not so open-minded as to be jealous of his sister, but every time he comes to this time, he will personally understand the meaning of the word blood relative. Su Cen pretended to be fine, and only asked, "Do you know that the eldest sister is pregnant?"

Su Chi looked at Su Cen and nodded for a while.

Su Cen sighed, "Then do you still think that my father will be on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Su Chi pondered for a long time before he said: "I know what the eldest brother means, the eldest brother thinks that since the eldest son of the future King Yu is from the Su family, it is not difficult to turn the eldest son into a concubine or even an heir with the eldest sister's ability." As long as this is the case, then what difference does it make if the Su family supports the prince or supports the king of Yu?"

Su Zen's eyes lit up, "That's exactly what it means." However, Su Cen did not ignore the disapproval in Su Chi's eyes, so he asked, "Ah Chi doesn't think so?"

"What the eldest brother said is reasonable, but I have only one reason: from ancient times to the present, all monarchs supported by the Su family have one thing in common. Su Ji's face sank, and his voice was half lowered.

Su Cen is also a person who has memorized the annals of the Su family since he was a child, and how could Su Chi's expression not understand what she meant, so Su Cen hesitated slightly, and said four words accurately: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers." ”

Almost at the same time, Su Chi also whispered these four words, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both helpless. After a long time, Su Chi leaned on the dry pear blossom tree outside the door before he said leisurely: "From childhood to adulthood, I feel that my father is a rare loyal minister in this Beiwan, under the tilt of power, he has never been afraid of power, even if it is Your Majesty, my father dares to persuade him in the court." General Shu died, and my father borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and I thought he was sad because he couldn't keep the friends he made back then. Even if everyone said that my father was treacherous and took the lead in killing the General's Mansion, I didn't believe it, but my eldest brother told me that this was the truth. Empress Shu has no grievances with my Su family, but she was burned to death in the palace by her aunt, and King Qinghe complained about the Yasukuni Mansion because of this, and now it is not wronged. The Yasukuni Mansion has spent all its money and rewards for several lifetimes, but it still uses different identities to do business in various parts of the country and make a lot of money. The strange thing is that the money sent to the lord's house is running out every year, and my father knows that the large amount of money is missing, but he wants me not to meddle in this matter. The nobles of Jinling have some face-to-face and pompous capital cultivation trilogy, but a few of them can be compared with the combat effectiveness of Su Kill······ Big brother, don't you think it's scary to connect these things?"

Su Cen didn't expect Su Chi to say this suddenly, he looked at Su Chi for a long time, and finally realized that this sister was not a momentary sigh, so he could only comfort: "Haven't we all pretended to be deaf and dumb for a long time?

"I'm not feeling it for a while, I've been hiding these words in my heart for a long time. In the past, I always heard others talk about how happy the girls from the plain family are, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are more expensive than others. But in my opinion, the Su family allows girls and boys to read and learn calligraphy together, not only teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also teaching a subset of scripture history. But you look at my aunt and eldest sister, they are not happy, I was young at that time, I don't know what their marriage is all about, I just feel that His Majesty favors my aunt, King Yu and the eldest sister are even more eyebrows, I feel that even if I am a little dissatisfied, it is remarkable. But now, my father forced the fourth sister to marry, and the fourth sister didn't want to become the fifth sister, and my father wanted me to watch from the side. Big brother, do you know what kind of mood I feel?" Su Chi has seen a lot of sad scenes in Jinzhou recently, and today he drank a few glasses of wine with Su Ya, and his mood was a little angry.

Su Cen patted her on the back, he knew something about what Su Yuan was doing, but no one dared to beak at his father's orders. Father, what do you really want? Or rather, what do you want?

While sending Su Chi back to the room, Su Cen whispered to him: "I'm afraid you are wrong about this, I don't think this matter is arranged by my father." Na Ning'an is the old department of the Shu family, who used to be a military doctor in the army, and was later promoted by the Shu family, and made meritorious contributions to the nobles in the palace, so he was crowned the imperial doctor. ”

Su Yuan was the person Su Cen and Su Chi brothers and sisters were most reluctant to suspect, but when they heard the "Shu family", Su Chi's heart jumped suddenly, touched his forehead, and asked tentatively: "King Qinghe?"

Su Cen nodded, "For example, today, except for Ning Qiongzhen, the king of Qinghe, I really can't think of a second person who can use the old department of the Shu family." ”

Su Chi said quietly: "No, there is another person who may be able to." ”

Suzen asked in surprise, "Who?"

"Deputy Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Shu Yao. ”
