Su Jie finally listened patiently to Zhou Zaiyue's words.

"Finished?" After a moment of silence, Su Jie asked.

Zhou Zaiyue bowed deeply to him, his cloudy but wise eyes were full of deep and sincere expectations, he knew that he needed to give Su Jie time to digest these words, so he did not ask Su Jie to make a decision at the moment, but said: "The old man retreated first, I hope you can think about it, during this time, the old man will live in the Ruiwang Mansion to protect your safety." ”

After speaking, Zhou Zaiyue did not wait for Su Jie's answer, but left very consciously.

Su Jie took a deep breath, but his brows were furrowed tightly, there was a sense of unreality in his mind, he looked at Zhou Zaiyue with a complicated expression and closed the door of the room for him, and his thoughts were extremely disturbed for a while.

"By the way, haven't you asked what is the relationship between Zhou Zaiyue and Xiao Shengnian?" Su Jie had the urge to never want to see Zhou Zaiyue, so that he wouldn't know so many things, and now he still has to worry about these things.

He had already believed most of what Zhou Zaiyue said, after all, he had nothing worthy of such respect from an old man, unless everything Zhou Zaiyue said was true.

But all this is too dreamy, Su Jie never thought that his life experience would be twists and turns to such a point.

When he was three years old, his family was slaughtered, and Su Shujie and Jin Zheng took him to escape, and then Zhou Zaiyue planned to find him for 16 years.

It's a pity that Su Jie has no memory of the memory before the age of three, and his hometown has always been that simple and quiet village.

Su Jie has been standing in place, since Zhou Zaiyue left, he has maintained this position until the unconscious Yujiang woke up and interrupted Su Jie's thoughts: "Childe ......"

Yu Jiang stood up from the floor, looking a little dazed, and he asked, "Childe, where is the old man?"

"Gone. ”

"Then why did I faint on the ground?" Yu Jiang tilted his head.

Su Jie didn't answer, he was silent, like a sculpture.

After lunch, Xiao Shengnian came back, he just put Dahua in a cage today, and received a holy decree that the emperor would summon nine princes in the imperial study.

Xiao Shengnian still perfectly maintained his cowardly and incompetent image in front of the emperor, and had lunch with his brothers in a regular manner, and then dragged his tired body back.

Seeing Su Jie, Xiao Shengnian suddenly remembered that he had promised to take Su Jie to see Zhou Zaiyue after lunch. Who knew that Su Jie replied: "I have seen him." ”

Xiao Shengnian saw that Su Jie's sentiment was not high, so he knew that the conversation between the two was not necessarily pleasant, and Zhou Zaiyue was likely to choose to say goodbye when he stayed in the palace. Therefore, Xiao Shengnian sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't keep the teacher after all." ”

"Teacher?"

Su Jie's ears moved slightly, and a trace of surprise crossed his eyes.

Zhou Zaiyue is Xiao Shengnian's teacher?

Could it be that Xiao Shengnian is also a chess piece in the sixteen years of Zhou Zaiyue's layout?

Su Jie's mind naturally gave birth to the idea of using Zhou Zaiyue to kill Xiao Shengnian, so that he could leave King Rui's Mansion as soon as possible and continue to return to King Qin's door as a sharp blade, just like before.

It's a pity that since the moment Zhou Zaiyue appeared, Su Jie's fate trajectory was not something he could decide alone.

And Su Jie can't kill Xiao Shengnian for the time being, because a living Xiao Shengnian may be of greater use to King Qin, if he kills all the princes except King Qin, the emperor will definitely be angry, and King Qin will not be able to ascend the throne smoothly.

King Qin wants to inherit the throne in a righteous manner, not to bear infamy.

"Did the teacher return the jade pendant to you?" Xiao Shengnian saw the jade pendant hanging from Su Jie's waist, and asked casually, but he didn't plan to wait for Su Jie's reply, Xiao Shengnian had the habit of taking a nap, and since Zhou Zaiyue had left, there was no need for him to stay here in Su Jie's place again.

The old man didn't leave, he said he would stay in the Rui Wang's Mansion. Seeing that Xiao Shengnian was about to turn around and leave, Su Jie subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Su Jie had an illusion, an illusion that Xiao Shengnian would never come in again when he stepped out of this door.

At this moment, Su Jie suddenly thought of why Xiao Shengnian's attitude towards himself had changed before-because the boat carried the moon.

It is likely that Xiao Shengnian saw the pattern on his jade pendant here, and knew the importance of this pattern to Zhou Zaiyue, so he quickly went to find Zhou Zai Moon a few days ago.

And Zhou Zaiyue recognized the jade pendant, so he came to the capital to confirm his identity.

Moreover, listening to Xiao Shengnian's tone, it seems that he has a lot of respect for Zhou Zaiyue, if Zhou Zaiyue leaves, Xiao Shengnian will definitely feel regret and dissatisfaction, and therefore snub Su Jie.

"Teacher wants to stay?" The smile on Xiao Shengnian's lips was filled with heartfelt joy, he had absolute trust and admiration for Zhou Zaiyue, if he could get Zhou Zaiyue's help, he would definitely be able to ascend to the throne of Yanhui Kingdom.

The current emperor of Yanhui Kingdom is a bright monarch, and it is precisely because of the extraordinary ambition of the current emperor that any prince who comes out and is eager to perform will be feared and suppressed by the emperor.

If it weren't for this, Xiao Shengnian would not have gone to great lengths to disguise himself as harmless and weak, because his father wanted to expand his territory and become famous for all eternity, and even his own capable son could not show outstanding talents, because the emperor needed a filial and obedient son, not the kind of outstanding heir who wanted to ascend the throne with great ambition.
