"Ninth sister, this matter should not implicate King Ding, you don't have to worry too much. Su Yirong saw that Su Yiqing was silent, and comforted him when he misunderstood.

Su Yiqing came back to her senses, looked at Su Yirong, and asked, "Big sister, I appeared like this and asked you a bunch of questions, don't you think it's strange, or aren't you afraid?"

Su Yirong smiled, "If others are afraid, but knowing that it is the ninth sister, I am not afraid." ”

"Big sister believe me?" Su Yiqing was very skeptical, this is too fake, the sisters who have not seen each other for many years, even the previous relationship is not good, as Su Yirong said, she can be regarded as inadvertently robbing her marriage, although this is really not a good marriage, but it is not a pleasant thing, plus Mrs. Zhou, the grandmother...... Compared with Su Yirong, he has suffered enough.

"I don't believe in the ninth sister, but I just feel that I owe my sister. Su Yirong said calmly, " Before coming to Da Zhou, I knew that this trip was very dangerous, I made preparations that I couldn't go back, occasionally free, I thought about the past, I asked myself to be worthy of anyone in this life, except for the ninth sister, I feel sorry for you, whether intentional or not, I did rob your marriage, don't do to others what you don't want, I hate to rob my marriage sisters, but in a blink of an eye, I did the same thing unconsciously, I can't be so at ease because this is not a good marriage, so if it is planted in the hands of the ninth sister, I will feel a little more at ease. ”

"After all, the Xu family is my foreign family, doesn't the eldest sister hate it?" Su Yiqing's heart moved, and she couldn't help but test it.

"I have fallen to such a point, and it has nothing to do with the Xu family. Why hate?" Su Yirong sighed, "Yes, the Xu family doesn't treat me well, but it's not deliberately harsh, it's because I've always been unwilling and wants to be competitive...... That's it, speaking of which, Xu Zhe was implicated by me, but I hurt him. ”

"Big sister...... What is this for?" Su Yiqing was even more puzzled, listening to Su Yirong's tone. It doesn't seem to have been instructed by Mrs. Zhou. So who exactly made her do this?

"Is the Ninth Sister testing me?" Su Yirong smiled lightly, "How could I say such a big thing so easily? If the Ninth Sister wants to force me to question me for someone, she will have to resort to extraordinary means." It's useless to just ask. ”

Su Yiqing suddenly had a feeling. Su Yirong seemed to be eager for an accident. Maybe for Su Yirong now, it is a relief that something really happened, after all, it is very tiring to live with a secret.

"Big sister. Take care. ”

In the end, Su Yiqing could only say such a sentence, and when she turned around to ask, she turned back and said, "Big sister, in a certain way, I am very grateful to you, and some unintentional mistakes don't have to be taken to heart." ”

"Ninth sister, take care of yourself. Su Yirong could only reply, and then quickly added, "I hope we don't have to meet again." ”

The last sentence was deeply sad.

Su Yiqing seemed to have been stabbed, and left this courtyard with such a state of mind.

After that, she didn't rush back to Yuemian's residence, and went around a few more times to make sure that no one was following her before going back.

When she went back, the room was pitch black, and she called softly before entering the door, "Xiangxiang, are you asleep?"

"Xiaoyi, are you back?" Princess Xiangshan in the house quickly replied.

This is the code they agreed, not something special, if there is nothing to do, ask Xiaoyi if you are back? If there is anything, just ask, is it Xiaoyi?

After making sure that there was nothing wrong, Su Yiqing flashed into the house, then closed the door, lit the fire again, first glanced at the house, and then relaxed, Yuemian's room is very small, the house is small and has the advantage of being small, it is easy to see at a glance, and it is difficult for the villain to hide.

Lighting a candle, Su Yiqing let out a long breath.

Princess Xiangshan hurriedly asked, "Why have you been there for so long?

"It's nothing, it's not easy to inquire about things in the middle of the night, so I turned a few more places. Su Yiqing replied a little vaguely, and did not answer Princess Xiangshan's question positively.

"Did you find anything?" Princess Xiangshan wanted to know the current situation outside, but she didn't care how Su Yiqing inquired.

"Now it is King Rui who is besieging the city, do you know the person of King Rui?" Su Yiqing asked Princess Xiangshan.

"King Rui. Princess Xiangshan thought for a while and said, "I have checked this before, it is a ridiculous prince, if it is said that the idle prince likes the wind and snow, it is nothing, but this Rui Wang doesn't know how to say it, he can't get on the stage, what he likes is some low-rate things, cockfighting, lackeys and crickets, and some ruffians and street gangsters come and go, and even the concubines in the family are almost all Qinglou women, and the princes and nobles disdain to associate with them, thinking that they will lower their style. ”

"So this Rui King has no military power?" Su Yiqing frowned.

"This is natural, who would dare to entrust the heavy responsibility to him?" Princess Xiangshan said as a matter of course, "The ministers will also oppose it." ”

"But the exact news I have received is that it is indeed King Rui leading the troops now. Su Yiqing didn't know what was going on, the Rui Wang she had heard before was indeed like this, but according to her past experience, she knew that many people's appearances were strongly deceptive, maybe this Rui Wang was the same, it was too ridiculous, maybe it was pretended.

There are also several emperors in history, and in order to avoid the suspicion of their brothers before they ascended the throne, there are also those who pretend to be ridiculous or even pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Princess Xiangshan lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something, and then said: "But when it comes to King Rui, I think of one thing, King Rui is ridiculous, but the ability to make money doesn't seem to be bad." ”

"What do you say?" Su Yiqing seemed to have something flashing in her heart, but she couldn't catch it.

Princess Xiangshan said: "Among the ninth-rate people that King Rui has befriended, some of them come quickly in trading, but they affect their reputation very much, and people who want a little bit of face will not do it, so King Rui is not jealous of meat, and because of his status as a prince, the government does not dare to care." ”

"What about unpopular trading, for example?" asked Su Yiqing again.

"It's some green houses, even human trafficking, and by the way, some gambling houses. "Princess Xiangshan is a princess after all, and it is a little difficult to speak. There are still some concerns, but thinking about it to this point, there is nothing that cannot be said, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "There is something I didn't tell you, I always wanted to say I'm sorry, do you remember the fact that some unscrupulous businessmen of the Meng clan set up gambling traps to harm the good people of Dazhou? Let me tell you, it is King Ding who is sheltering these people...... Actually, no, someone misled me, it was not King Ding, but King Rui. ”

"It's not that Lian Yufeng did it......" Su Yiqing was taken aback at first. Then he sighed. This is really a layer of fog, seeing that Princess Xiangshan looks a little guilty, I can't help but say, "Forget it." It doesn't have to be a misunderstanding. The situation today. It's really impossible to say who is really innocent. ”

Even Yu Feng is not easy to be framed by others, everything he does has a strong purpose, and in the end, it is not certain who will be used by whom.

It's halfway through the night. Both of them were tired and had been holding on for so long, Su Yiqing said: "Let's sleep first, let's see how it goes tomorrow, even if there is really a chaotic army attacking the city tomorrow, we have to rest first before we can run." ”

Princess Xiangshan nodded, she was really tired.

This room is just this one bed, Su Yiqing let Princess Xiangshan sleep on the bed, she will be on the chair at the door for half a night, she is really not used to sleeping in the same bed with other women, the excuse is also ready-made, her martial arts are higher than Princess Xiangshan, she can hold on for a while, guard at the door, if there is any change, she can react as soon as possible.

Princess Xiangshan had no reason to object, she was really tired and fell asleep as soon as she went to bed.

Su Yiqing leaned against the corner of the wall with her eyes closed, half-asleep, and when she was half-asleep, many pictures of the past were turning around in front of her, and in the end, these pictures disappeared, and she also fell asleep......

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep for long, but I didn't expect that I slept until almost noon, probably both of them were tired, and it was difficult to wake up as soon as I slept over.

It is said that there is martial law on the street now, people dare not move around, shops and the like are all closed, and there is no food to buy.

Because the cake was too rough, Yuemian was very embarrassed.

Su Yiqing didn't have so many taboos, when she was wandering before, she didn't eat any hardships? Some of them were good, it was Princess Xiangshan, who nibbled on the cake, it was really hard to swallow, even if she was extremely hungry, she still couldn't eat such rough food.

However, she knew that now was not the time to be squeamish, so she still swallowed hard, otherwise she would not have the physical strength.

After eating a little something, Yuemian talked about the situation outside, saying that after a night, the rebels outside the city showed no sign of attacking the city, and the feeling of dying down did not know what to do, maybe someone in the court adjusted, probably this battle could not be fought.

Su Yiqing is not so optimistic, now that the emperor is like that, there must be many people staring at the throne, King Rui jumped out at this time, he would not retreat if he wanted to get a little benefit, and he couldn't help but retreat.

In this situation, he may be fighting psychological warfare, so that the people in the city are panicking, as long as the siege is a few more days, the food in the city will be consumed, without food, the city will be chaotic, he can naturally wait for work.

Of course, such a siege is not without harm, the army of King Qin from all over the country will come quickly, if King Rui cannot control the overall situation in a short time, it is very likely to fail.

But at the end of the day, it all seems to be out of control, and it's not clear who the winner will be.

Princess Xiangshan saw that Su Yiqing was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask Yuemian: "Is there any news from the palace?"

Yue Mian shook her head, "I only heard that many mansions have sent people to the palace to petition, saying that the family is in a mess, and they hope that the master will come back to preside over the overall situation, especially some civil officials, these don't care about their business at all, and there seems to be no reason to detain them." ”

Su Yiqing said secretly, now is not the time to need a reason, since the queen detained these people earlier, she will not easily release them back now.

Outside the door, I suddenly remembered a loud knock on the door, and a woman shouted: "Yuemian, something happened to Yuemian, you come out quickly." ”

It was the voice of Sister-in-law Wang next door. Yuemian knew that something must have happened, so she couldn't care about Su Yiqing and them, so she hurriedly went out to see.

Su Yiqing glanced at Princess Xiangshan, walked to the door in unison, and secretly looked out.

I saw a woman with a haggard face crying at Yuemian, "Yuemian, something is wrong, our family and your husband have been arrested by officers and soldiers." ”

"What's going on?" Yuemian suddenly panicked, grabbed Sister-in-law Wang's hand and hurriedly asked.

Sister-in-law Wang cried and said: "I don't know, it was a team of officers and soldiers who came to arrest people, saying that there were rebels outside, and the city wall was in urgent need of support, so the men were arrested, and even Daddy Jiang, who was making cakes on the street and full of white hair, didn't let go, Yuemian, how can you look good?"

Yuemian's whole body swayed, and she grabbed the door to barely support her body, how dangerous is it to defend the city wall at this time?

Sister-in-law Wang begged: "Yuemian, I heard that the two of you are from the palace, and you have more knowledge than others, you should think of a way, poor my child is not yet full moon, and he can't even call his father, if there is anything to do with Brother Wang, how can we live?"

"Wang Dashao, don't worry......" Yuemian was so comforting in her mouth, in fact, she didn't know what to do, she heard that her father-in-law was also arrested, she was also very scared, Wang's sister-in-law was orphaned and widowed, but at least there was a child, what about her? Both parents died, and now there is no one to rely on except for Xianggong.

Sister-in-law Wang said at this time: "Yuemian, you should think of a way." ”

There is no need for Sister-in-law Wang to urge, Yuemian also wants to think of a way, but now her mind is in a mess, and she can't think of it at all.

Sister-in-law Wang said again: "Yuemian, doesn't your mother's family have a sister who is married to the head catcher in the yamen? ”

Yuemian looked bitter, it wasn't that she didn't want to look for it, but she knew that it was useless to look for it, and this matter was not under the control of the yamen at all, but I was afraid that now the catchers in Yancheng would be forced to guard the city wall.

If there was anyone to ask for, she had to ask for those who led the troops, but she didn't know anyone like that, but she didn't know it, maybe someone did.

There are two nobles in the house, who may be able to help, at least the nobles in the house have more means than her.

Thinking of this, Yuemian said that she would temporarily appease Sister-in-law Wang, turn around and go back to the house, and immediately knelt down for Su Yiqing.

Su Yiqing was full of helplessness, of course she understood what Yuemian meant, but at this moment, let her think of a way, it was really difficult for a strong person, and she herself could not be protected, but this was also her own choice, who told her to choose to hide in Yuemian's house? It can't be said that when she sees someone in trouble, she will turn around and find another place. (To be continued.) )
