Chapter 15: Compassion
Su Wanxi didn't expect that she was so weak and couldn't help the wind, because she came back from the West Lake that day and caught a cold, and it was very serious. So I could only lie in bed all day long, and I felt weak even to eat.
Su Wanxi lay on the bed softly, thinking about why Shen Jingyuan was so seriously injured that day, he appeared alone on Lin'an Street, and even Xiao Anzi and the guards were not around, what happened?
Her forehead was hot, her whole person was a little drowsy, and a slightly cool hand was on her eyebrows.
"Why hasn't the fever gone away yet?" Su Ziyou asked Qing'er on the side unhappily.
Qing'er swallowed her saliva and said, "The doctor said, rest for a few days, and take the medicine on time and you'll be fine......"
"Why is my brother here?" Su Wanxi opened her eyes slightly, she didn't expect Su Ziyou to come to the room to visit her.
"You go down." Su Zi ordered Qing'er right.
"Yes."
After Qing'er left, Su Ziyou sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her and said, "Shen Jingyuan was almost assassinated. ”
Su Wanxi froze and asked lightly, "That's just a close touch." After a pause, his pupils widened, and he asked, "Did you send someone to do it?" ”
Su Ziyou smiled coldly: "Only a fool would do something like that." ”
Hearing this, Su Wanxi speculated in her heart that it must not be Su Ziyou, and it was not Shen Jingyuan who wanted to take revenge, so why bother to startle the snake. "Then who will be my brother's opinion?"
Su Ziyou's eyes gathered slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "That day, Shen Jingyuan went to the Bai Family Cemetery. ”
Su Wan's heart felt as uncomfortable as if a needle had been inserted, and asked calmly, "So what?" ”
"He went alone, and no one in the palace knew about it, so you say, who was the one who wanted to assassinate him?" Su Ziyou smiled coldly.
"Then how did you know that he went to the Bai Family Cemetery?" Su Wanxi was more concerned about this problem.
"Why do you want to know that?" Su Ziyou glanced at Su Wanxi coldly, and said, "If Shen Jingyuan dies, who will be the biggest beneficiary?" ”
Su Wanxi rubbed her forehead and said, "Why are you asking me this?" ”
"Don't forget you're a pawn."
Su Wanxi took a deep breath, looked at Su Zi incredibly, and said, "Are you saying that there are people in the court who don't want Shen Jingyuan to succeed to the throne, so they want to eradicate him?" ”
"It's good that you know, but I haven't found out who it is, and this force will definitely be an obstacle in the future." Su Ziyou said, killing intent flashed in his eyes, he had already learned from Feng Po that Su Wanxi had already known his true identity, and said that he would not shy away from speaking to her.
"So how are you going to do it?"
Su Ziyou got up, glanced at Su Wanxi, and said, "You'll know in the future." Then he turned and left.
Sometime? Su Wanxi looked coldly at the back of Su Ziyou's departure, how long will it be in the future? What is it that he wants to do for himself?
This "future" will come quickly, and in the spring of the second year, Su Wanxi learned that Su Ziyou had been doing so...... Sure enough, he has always only regarded himself as a chess piece, and even the day he left, he was still as cold as usual.
After Su Wanxi recovered from the cold, he was ordered by Su Ziyou to stay at home, and could only study with Feng Po in Su Mansion all day long, he said that he would not allow the chess pieces he had carefully cultivated to make any mistakes.
Time flies, life in Sufu day after day, midsummer passes, late autumn follows, late autumn passes, and the cold wind hits. In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the second year.
"Miss, you see how beautiful the flowers in the garden are!" In the spring sunshine, Su Wanxi and Qing'er basked in the sun in the garden together.
"Hmm." How can it not be beautiful, these are all irrigated with human flesh and blood. Su Wanxi stood beside the peony flower, staring at the delicate peony, her eyes were scattered.
"What are you thinking?" I don't know when, Su Ziyou has already come behind him.
"I've seen adults."
"My brother went down so early today? I just watched the flowers bloom as red as human blood and wondered where my brother got his breed in. Su Wanxi smiled faintly, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of drama, in the past two years in Su Mansion, her appearance has gradually transformed from a young girl to a woman with special charm, and a smile has made the entire garden lose color.
"Soon you'll be able to grow such flowers." Su Ziyou said unhurriedly.
She frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this, brother?" ”
"The spring election in five days is your beginning." He said without emotion.
She staggered back, looked at Su Ziyou in disbelief and asked, "You want me to be the emperor's woman?" ”
Su Ziyou looked at her coldly and replied lightly: "This is your task." ”
"Huh." She looked at Su Ziyou amusedly, and nodded slightly, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, my brother made a good move." ”
Su Ziyou was silent, and then left with his hands in his hands.
Su Wanxi stared at the gorgeous peony, and the corners of her mouth raised a bewitching smile. Entering the palace? Hehe, in fact, he should have thought that he would place himself next to Shen Wen, after all, the nominal ruler of this country is still Shen Wen. Shen Wen...... Is it the emperor who gets older and more absurd, I have seen him many times back then, I remember that when I was young, Shen Wencai led the elite soldiers to unify the world not long ago, and at that time I also regarded him as an idol.
However, her impression of Shen Wen only stayed at that time...... After his wedding to Shen Jingyuan, he went to meet Shen Wen and Empress Shangguan Shuang'er. Oh, that's ironic. In his previous life, he was Shen Jingyuan's wife, but in this life, he wants to become his father's woman, and he wants to compete for favor with his mother.
Hehe, if one day Shen Jingyuan knew that he was Bai Wuxue, would he also think it was ridiculous, he and his father had the same woman. Just thinking of Shen Jingyuan's surprised and ashamed face, Su Wanxi's heart was extremely happy. However, how could she ask Shen Jingyuan to repay herself so simply, she also wanted Shen Jingyuan to taste the feeling of being abandoned and betrayed by her lover.
"Miss, the lord just said that he wants you to enter the palace?" Qing'er asked excitedly.
Su Wanxi came back to her senses, looked at Qing'er lightly and asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”
Qing'er said happily: "Enter the palace!" Do you want to be an imperial concubine? Yes. Miss, really only a true dragon emperor like the emperor is worthy of you! ”
Su Wanxi smiled faintly, the people of the world may be grateful to Shen Wen, because he gave them a peaceful and prosperous world. But everyone in the court and the palace know that today's Shen Wen is no longer the shocking hero he was in high spirits back then.
"Miss, why are you upset?" Qing'er asked worriedly.
"You yearn for the palace?" Su Wanxi asked Qing'er puzzled, as if she saw her young and ignorant self in Qing'er, and at that time, she also wanted to marry Shen Jingyuan in a thousand ways, and longed for the prison in the palace.
"Of course, I've heard that it's the most prosperous place, with the best things in the world." Qing'er said with a look of hope.
Su Wanxi turned around and looked in the direction of the palace, and said faintly: "Maybe." ”
The night before leaving, Su Wanxi made peach blossom soup and sent it to Su Ziyou's room. At that time, Su Ziyou was reading at night with a lamp, sitting by the window in white, and the breeze was coming.
"Brother." She called softly, came slowly, and put the peach blossom soup on the table.
"Sit." He put down the "Art of War" in his hand, and then retreated, "You all go down." ”
There were only the two of them left in the room, and Su Wanxi said: "I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, what does my brother want to explain, just say it." Presumably, after entering the palace, it will be difficult for you and me to meet again. ”
Su Ziyou glanced at the peach blossom soup on the table, then looked at Su Wanxi, and said calmly: "I will send someone to protect you secretly, if you need to meet or have news, they will appear." ”
"Didn't my brother send someone to spy on me?" She covered her lips and smiled, then looked straight at Su Ziyou and said, "Don't worry, I will be an obedient chess piece, I just hope that my brother will remember the original transaction, I will take revenge on me, and I hope my brother will not interfere." ”
"I don't care how you deal with Shen Jingyuan, if you ruin my plan, you know what the consequences are." Su Ziyou's cold air is pressing.
"I know I don't do stupid things."
"What should you do after entering the palace, you shouldn't want me to teach you, right?"
"Hehe, I know if my brother doesn't say it." She smiled lightly, looked at Su Ziyou charmingly and asked, "Brother, do you say that there is a more beautiful woman in the world than me?" ”
Su Ziyou hurriedly glanced at his gaze and said, "That's why I chose you as a chess piece." "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, Su Wanxi's beauty was famous as early as Shen Jingyuan's wedding, and now her face is gradually becoming, and she is even more beautiful and confusing, sending such a woman to the palace, Shen Wen will definitely be fascinated.
"Okay, then I'll step back first, brother should rest early." She said lightly and left alone.
Su Ziyou took a deep breath and looked at the peach blossom soup on the table, as if the breeze was blowing and his face was a little painful.
Early the next morning, Su Wanxi and Qing'er had already packed their things and wanted to leave.
"Child, be careful everywhere when you enter the palace." At the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Wanxi said goodbye to everyone, and Feng Po's eyes were full of tears.
Ting'er also had to follow Su Wanxi into the palace as a dowry, she also had a year in Su Mansion, and she felt reluctant to leave, so she secretly wiped her tears behind Su Wanxi.
Su Wanxi showed a faint smile and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, Wanxi has learned a lot from you in the past year, and I will protect myself." ”
On the side, Su Ziyou said coldly: "You have to remember your identity and how to do it." ”
Su Wanxi smiled softly, raised her eyebrows and looked straight at Su Ziyou and said, "Brother, don't worry, my sister will live up to my brother's expectations." ”
"Go ahead." Su Ziyou said lightly and turned around.
Su Wanxi took a light breath, kowtowed to Feng Po, then got on the sedan chair, and finally glanced at Su Mansion, as if this was once her home, and suddenly wanted to leave today, and there was a faint melancholy in her heart.
"Ziyou, you are really willing." Feng Po sighed and left with her hands in her hands.
Su Ziyou calmly looked at Su Wanxi's sedan chair, laughed at himself, and said in a low voice: "What's so reluctant?" ”
What if you can't bear it...... She's just a woman and a pawn...... After she enters the palace, she will definitely be favored by Shen Wen, and she will definitely make the three thousand women in the harem jealous. Su Wanxi, don't die before the mission is completed! If one day I can reign over the world, I will make up for what I owe you...... If only we could live to see that day coming.
Su Wanxi entered the palace with the rest of the eunuchs, learned the palace rules and etiquette in the palace, and then waited for the palace selection of the emperor in person. From the moment she entered the palace, she always remembered what she was going to do and what she should do, and she would use more cruel means to make Shen Jingyuan's life worse than death. Bai Chengcheng and Zhao Luchu, she will not let go.
This is the only belief that sustains her to live in the palace, the only thing that gives her the courage to face the unknown.
