Su Chi drank the ginger tea before he said slowly: "You probably don't believe it, but now I really don't know what my father is thinking." I only remember that the person my father supported in the past was the crown prince, and he also vaguely mentioned that he wanted me to enter the palace. Then the crown prince was deposed, and the pattern of the court was chaotic. Although King Yu is half of my brother-in-law, but now that you often come and go to King Yu's mansion, you must also know that the connection between the Su family and the eldest sister has almost been severed. The eldest sister made a choice between her husband and her mother, and her father no longer regarded her as a plain girl. And for you, I don't think, I don't need to say more. ”

Chongyao directly instructed Xilu to come in and pick up the bowl containing the ginger soup and simmer slowly on the small stove.

He instructed that these did not affect listening to her, and almost as soon as her voice fell, he brought up the matter next to him: "Many things are not able to maintain the same state from the beginning to the end, and people are the same, from the first time you and I first met with all kinds of temptations, to now bow your head and whisper, if you don't appear in front of me today, how can I dare to believe it?" You and I have never talked to each other from the bottom of our hearts, and even today we have reservations. But so what? ”

Chongyao picked up the spoon and filled her with another cup, handed it to her with his own hands, the moment their hands touched, the two did not avoid it, Chongyao slowly opened the corners of his mouth, and continued: "We were born in this imperial city, and we all have our own set of rules and regulations in what we see. Every time I see you at the palace banquet, I see you smiling, drinking is also gentle, someone listens attentively when someone speaks, and when no one talks, it is a shallow smile. Looking at the sister next to you, except for the clothes on your body, you feel like a person. But in Qinghe, Liaocheng, and even in Taoqiu Opera Club and Yueyinfang, you are not like this. You like to listen to the beautiful voice of Nanqi, even if the nobles criticize it for its vulgarity, you like to listen to operas, like solo music, Xilu said that you like the book that no one wants in the market, so changeable you are alive. ”

Su Chi was still leaning lazily, her eyes were half-closed, and she only felt that Chongyao's voice was getting softer and softer, as if with a kind of magic, her eyelashes were flickering, too sleepy. Su Chi gradually closed his eyes, and the cup in his hand was about to fall and was picked up by Chongyao.

Looking at her bruised face, Chongyao felt a little sorry, built a thin quilt for her, and added charcoal fire. Seeing her lying so quietly and suddenly feeling angry and funny, the first time in her life to talk so sincerely, she actually fell asleep? Isn't it boring?

Chongyao closed the door, Si Fu and Xilu were waiting outside the door, Chongyao asked Si Fu directly: "Did she eat at night?" Why is it so good? ”

As soon as Si Fu saw Chongyao, he was about to kneel, Chongyao was impatient and gave him a hand, only to hear Si Fu reply: "The girl used some casually at night, and she went out early this morning, and she didn't take the slave and maid out, but she came back at night, and she came to the palace." Looking at Chongyao's solemn face, he mentioned again: "The girl is very anxious about the affairs of the country." ”

Chongyao couldn't see anything on his face, and Xiluduo on the side said: "Our Highness is also in a hurry, General Shu has also been arrested." ”

Su Chi in the room opened his eyes, his slightly sneering eyebrows were full of disgust and dissatisfaction, not pretending to be asleep, but he was really tired, and it happened that Xilu's loud voice woke up again. Hearing this, he sat up again.

Xilu's loud voice beckoned Chongyao with a fierce eye knife, and he could only shut his mouth stupidly, and Chongyao pushed the door in when he heard movement in the house: "Woke you up?" ”

Su Chi looked at Xilu, who was covering his mouth behind him, and Si Fu, who was so embarrassed that he was at a loss, and he didn't care much: "I haven't slept at this hour on weekdays, probably because you are warm here, and you are sleepy." You let them go down! ”

After the two of them saluted, Su Chi watched Si Fu clumsily close the door, and said with a smile: "This girl is very clever on weekdays, but she is not very smart in front of you today." Didn't you, the master, scare her? ”

"I thought you wouldn't talk about it. I think I'm cautious about this, when did you know that? Chongyao sighed, not knowing whether to praise her intelligence and sensitivity.

"When Qinghe was ambushed, I knew that there must be someone else's eyeliner around us. At that time, I didn't like Dongyu to follow the rules, so I took Si Fu out, and then it happened that I was caught with her. At that time, I couldn't see, so I was very sensitive to everything around me, Sutong Villa was too unbelievable. The layout of the room and the flowers and trees in the yard were all the way I liked them, so I knew that it must be something wrong with the people around me. Later, I used the excuse of reading books to be able to know my preferences in a short time, and there was only one Sifu in Qinghe at that time, and the rest of the matter was logical. Remembering the time in Qinghe, Su Chi recalled.

"Aren't you tired?" Isn't it tiring to calculate everything like this?

"The brain is often stupid if you don't use it. As long as you can save your life, it's nothing, is it? ”

Chongyao smiled bitterly, she could always hit the nail on the head with one sentence, "Why don't you expose it?" ”

"Why debunk? Life is against the odds, everything is difficult, why bother? What's more, at that time, you had too many secrets, the bandits of Qinghe, the demise of the Shu family, I just wanted to calm things down in front of my father. Although I hurt my eye, I have since recovered, and I have not been reproached here, and more is better than less. Moreover, I was separated from them at that time, and I knew nothing about the situation around me, and I was as frightened as a bird. But being treated like this is a fate. ”

"That's weird, when we first met, why should I be so worried?" Chongyao opened his lips and asked in a low voice.

"Why else does this need to be, my identity, the Su family behind me, there are more people to please me, what do you need? No, you don't. What's more, I am the only concubine of the Duke of Yasukuni, the prince wants to marry me, and the king of Yu thinks, you are understandable. When they tied me to the throne, they were not stingy. Su Chi felt that his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't speak.

Chongyao turned her face and said in disbelief, "So that's what you think." I always thought that I thought things were too profitable, and compared to you, I was still a small thing. Yes, the prince wants to marry you, don't you want to marry her too? The last sentence, such a sharp sarcasm, Chongyao just looked at her like that, he had wanted to ask this sentence for a long time.

"Since sooner or later they are going to get married, it's not good to start-for-tat."

"So, I really beat the mandarin duck?"

"Enough, Chongyao, he is your brother, and he thinks about you. And what did you do to him? ”

"Single-mindedly for me? Dedicated to me? Chongyao suddenly laughed wildly, and the more he smiled, the more angry and unwilling his eyes became, "At that time, I was the eldest grandson of the emperor whom everyone knelt down, what about him?" He's something. It's just that he turned his head and recognized that vicious woman as his mother, and he became the prince of this dynasty. Who knows how I handle myself in Qinghe? When I returned, my uncle died, my mother was gone, and you became her fiancée. Outside the Chongxi Palace, you stood beside him and smiled, and I felt his despicability even more. Don't you feel dirty to get everything without much effort, and then think of yourself as a humble gentleman? Don't you feel disgusted that taking other people's things for yourself is just a few words of benevolence and righteousness? ”

The more Chongyao spoke, the more indignant he felt, "You naturally don't think that you haven't seen his downfall, everything you have seen since you can remember is his freshly dressed and angry horse, then let me tell you, what you see in Jinzhou should be the real him." I just want to get back what belongs to me, what did I do wrong, what did I do wrong? Besides, he's alive! ”

Su Chi looked at the angry man in front of him, but heard him still say: "I just taught Ning Lizhen a lesson, and you killed my people." If I had been here, would you have killed me to avenge him? "Chongyao said that the person is naturally Ning'an, and Ning'an is the old department of the Shu family. Ning An did things for Chongyao, but was killed by Su Chi. Chongyao's nest fire can be imagined.

Su Chi pressed his shoulders and took a long breath to calm down: "This matter is put aside for the time being, I am here today for the matter of Ge Zhai." "The knife on Ning Lizhen's chest, Su Chi really held a grudge, such a person who had given up three points in everything fell so suddenly, which caught people off guard and gave birth to pity and sympathy.

Chongyao smiled and sat back down on the soft collapse, "Since we don't mention Ning Lizhen, let's go back to Sutong Villa." Wouldn't it be more thoughtful if he killed Si Fu at that time? ”

"I'm not going to startle the snake, I can't see, I need her. And I'm looking forward to your next step. You don't know, I grew up in the courtyard of the Su family, and I can only see what a lonely life it is to see the four corners of the sky. Sometimes I wonder, what can I do to make my life more alive? Whether it is Sutong Villa or the Jialing River, it is a different kind of experience for me. I know your ambitions, your forbearance, your moodiness, but it was a time in my boring life, thrilling and fun. I heard from Xie Yu about your talent and embarrassing past, and I also heard at home that you have resisted the king several times, I was shocked by your goals and means, so I wanted to reconcile with you, and the account book of that time was sincerity. ”

"Ning Lizhen told me, have you interceded for me?" He knelt in the south study, and then the concubine went in and came out, and he was exempted. There are only a handful of people who can invite the concubine.

"It's just a matter of effort."

"Aren't you afraid that Ning Lizhen will think too much?"

Soji shook his head.

"Also, he only said that you were kind."

Seeing that his eyes were as bright as stars, and his dark pupils were bright and shining, she got up and walked to him, and the two looked at each other again, inexplicably giving birth to a long-lasting friendship: "Chongyao, you don't know, how much I like your eyes." ”

is not like a child with ears and temples, but it is like an old couple who have been hand in hand for half a life.

That night, although there were people in Jinling City setting off fireworks, some people making noise, and some people setting off fireworks in the moat, until many years later, Ah Chi still remembered the brilliance in his eyes that night after several tosses and turns. Everything in the world, those eyes are only full of love for a person.

Chongyao sat down and reached out to take her to his lap, Su Chi suddenly heard Huanpei jingling, and when he lowered his head, Chongyao had an emerald jade gourd tied around his waist.

This one looked a little familiar, but the smile on Su Chi's lips bloomed but it was even colder, and the topic had already turned a hundred and eighty degrees as soon as he opened his mouth: "General Shu was arrested?" ”

Chongyao felt that her friendship was retreating, and she couldn't say why, but her face was already straight. Shu Yao's matter he really couldn't understand, according to his understanding, since the Duke of Yasukuni was deploying troops in Ge Zhai, then His Majesty knew that he should be angry, and he wanted to quickly cut through the mess when he suspected Shu Yunjing of supporting the army, so what is the difference between this time and the last time?

Chongyao's heart was not easy, and Geng replied straightforwardly: "Yes, Shu Yao and Jingguo Gong went to prison together." ”

Su Chi put down the teacup, stood up and looked around the room: "I want to know, what's going on in the village?" ”

Chongyao also put down the teaglass, stood up and walked to her, laughing at himself: "This is the original purpose of your coming today?" ”

Su Chi slowly raised his head, not hurrying: "Naturally, as a child, parents are in trouble, and it is naturally difficult to sleep and eat, and most of them are like this among relatives. General Shu was imprisoned, didn't His Royal Highness feel the same way? ”

Hearing her sarcasm, Chongyao actually laughed, and his voice was hoarse: "Ah Chi, it turns out that there are really women in this world who turn their faces faster than books." She just called her name affectionately, but in a moment, she became an alienated "Your Highness" again.

"It's a great honor to be praised!"

"Although I planned this matter, it is obviously out of control now, and I guess Ling Zun is the one at the helm. As for the village, do you remember that time when we went together? ”

Su Chi frowned, "Don't mention the last time, let's talk about the point." ”

"No, you have to mention it, how can you not mention what happened last time?" Seeing that Su Chi was about to refute, he grabbed the conversation: "I guessed early in the morning that Dao Gezhai was the place where your father deployed private soldiers, so I followed your footsteps to investigate, and sure enough, the soldiers saw that you had three points of leeway, so I was more sure of this conjecture, but I didn't want you to misunderstand that it was my territory." Then I took advantage of the night to inquire about the situation, but after a vicious fight, you were sent out of the village. Believe it or not, Daoge Village is indeed the deployment of the Su family. As for what the father and emperor are planning, I am afraid that the concubine will know better than you and me. "Chongyao hid his injuries and didn't talk about them.

Su Chi almost couldn't believe it in his heart, looking at Chongyao's eyes, rubbing his fingers: "Thank you, I remember your news!" Su Chi's heart was turbulent, and he didn't care about pulling his legs under his feet and left.

Chongyao knew that she was difficult to accept for a while, but seeing that she didn't refute and knew that she already believed his words, he said: "It's already curfew at this time, the Yasukuni Mansion will be embarrassed, and you are a female dependent." In this way, you use my token, and I will let Tianying and Yan know to send you back, and by the way, change into my carriage. ”

Su Chi was still immersed in Fang Cai's horror, and he couldn't come back to his senses: "What did you say?" ”

Chongyao looked at her in a trance: "Otherwise, if you rest here, I will send you back before dawn tomorrow, how can you hold on to your body if you are in such a trance?" ”

Su Chi shook his head: "Don't say such unrealistic words, take your leave!" "If you don't go to bed at night for such a big thing at home, wouldn't it be another one? What's more, the eldest brother will definitely have dinner together tomorrow, if there is any clue, how to explain it? At this time, more is better than less, let's go.

Su Chi was about to get into the carriage, but saw that the carriage had been changed, this was the carriage of the Yu Wangfu, and there were marks on the carriage. Chongyao handed a token to her, "If you meet someone who is not long-sighted, just say that it is the female dependant of the Yu Palace." Old Ma Zhitu, if you secretly release it tomorrow, it will naturally come back. This horse has been with me for many years, and this is the first time I have pulled a cart. ”

The female dependents of the Yu Palace? Their expressions relaxed, but they didn't smile.

Su Chi touched it, "Wronged." ”

There is a double brilliance in the heavy pupils, which seems to have a deep meaning: "Not wronged, worth it." ”
