Chapter 34: Metamorphosis
In the imperial study, when the emperor had already retired from a bright yellow dragon robe, he was only wearing a gold brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, sitting in front of the imperial case, his dark eyes exuded a dim light, and he stared at the governor's political affairs in the room, and only opened his mouth for a long time.

"I heard that Su Aiqing's wife is sick?"
Su De was called to the imperial study by the emperor as soon as he was in the morning, and he thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect to hear such a question after waiting for a long time.
It's just that the emperor has a lot of opportunities, why is he even worried about the little thing that his wife is sick?
Although Su De was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask more, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen's inner son is indeed infected with wind and cold, but it is not a big problem, the doctor prescribed two doses of medicine and rested for a few days and it will be fine." ”
At this time, the bright sunlight sprinkled into the imperial study through the window lattice, Su De raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the emperor who held the most noble position in the world was smiling and looking at him, but the cold chill emanating from the corners of his eyes couldn't help but make people shudder.
What the hell is going on?
Su De vaguely felt that it should not be accidental that the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter.
The imperial study fell silent for a while, and Su De didn't dare to take a breath, so he bent down and stood there with his head down.
At this moment, he suddenly felt how small he was.
Life and death are just words in other people's mouths, and he is just a poor ant to be slaughtered.
Just when a strong sense of depression hit his brain, just when he was about to think that he couldn't hold it anymore, the most powerful person in the world finally opened his mouth, but what he said made Su De, who was a second-class member of the imperial court, break out in a cold sweat.
"Zhao Guogong held heavy troops back then, guarded the border passes, and made great contributions to the Chiyan country, I am very grateful, Mrs. Su is the granddaughter of Zhao Guogong, but you must take good care of your body, if there is something three long and two short, how can I be happy in my heart?" When today, Han Qizong's lips raised a meaningful arc, "Mrs. Su always has to see the day when Su Aiqing will rise to prominence in the future and become my right-hand man, and she must also see the day when the Su family will prosper." ”
Han Qizong's eyes suddenly showed a little sadness.
"It's just that if Mrs. Su really can't hold on, I will definitely take good care of the Su family and pick a good family affair for Su Aiqing's eldest daughter, Su Aiqing neglects the family for government affairs on weekdays, and I also see it."
Sud shook all over, his knees weakened, and he fell straight to the ground.
He is just a fish on a knife, and he has nothing to fear of death, but what about the more than 100 people in the Su family?
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, he is in a high position, and there is no way to retreat.
But he couldn't kill his wife no matter what!
……
originally thought that this was a dead end, but he didn't expect that the Zhao family secretly poured medicine and exchanged his life for a bright future for the Su family.
A trace of bitterness appeared in Su De's eyes, and he had mixed tastes in his heart.
"The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, how powerful Zhao Guogong was, how powerful Zhao Guogong's ancestors had, that is all the grace of heaven given by the royal family, but it is not necessarily a good thing to be sharp, how high you climb, how heavy you will fall, and one day the royal family will take it back with interest!"
Mrs. Su was very bitter when she heard this, and sighed and said: "That's it, as long as Hui'er is safe and sound, the others can be tossed as much as they want, although the conditions in Shu are difficult, but it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to save her life, and my old woman has nothing else to ask for, so many years in Jingshuzhai Buddha is to be able to bless Hui'er I safely, and bless the Su family to be safe and sound." ”
――――――――――――
Su Ximei sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and blowing a cool breeze.
In the past half a month, the whole house has been busy with the funeral of the eldest sister, and it is clear that the eldest sister's body has not been found, but it seems that everyone has formed a natural tacit understanding, and they never mention that the eldest sister still has the possibility of survival, even if this possibility is very small.
No one cried and wailed, and the mourning hall set up in the Lingwang Mansion was also surprisingly quiet.
Su Ximei recalled the incident that the sixth sister Su Xiangxiang said that day.
She believed that it was true, but she didn't believe that Su Xiangxiang had heard it inadvertently.
Whether it is the Furong Pavilion or the middle courtyard, there are servants guarding it layer by layer, and it is impossible to listen to it "inadvertently".
But it's not like there's nothing to be done.
Zhang's behavior is low-key, never publicity, and she seems to be a good-tempered and introverted woman, but when she thinks about it, if she wants to gain a firm foothold in a big family like the Su family, if she says that there is no means at all, she doesn't believe it very much.
Probably there are a lot of Zhang's eyeliner in the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?
It's just that why did the Zhang family tell themselves about it through the mouth of the sixth sister?
Could it be that he really received the favor of Mrs. Yuan and the eldest sister, so he wanted to rescue the eldest sister by himself?
Su Ximei frowned, no, in Zhang's eyes, she is just a little girl who has not yet reached her knack, even if she comes back from the dead and changes her temperament, it is just an unarmed boudoir daughter.
Why did Zhang decide it was useful to tell her about it?
What's more, if the Zhang family really has this heart, they can find some stout men to rob the eldest sister back, but it is obvious that the Zhang family does not want to get involved in this matter at all.
Thinking of this, Su Ximei's brain felt like it had turned into a mess.
I can't figure it out before and after, where is the wrong thing?
However, she can be sure that her father Su De didn't mention the eldest sister's matter in order to save the eldest sister's life, but Zheng's mother and daughter knew that the eldest sister had already died in Huangquan, and she was looking forward to revealing this matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause more accidents in the long night.
And His Royal Highness the King of Tomb......
Su Ximei felt that it should not just be a conspiracy to frame the eldest sister just to correct Su Luo.
"Miss, you're so good-looking."
Listening to Ling Xiang's crisp words, Su Ximei opened her eyes with a smile, only to see Ling Xiang holding a small wooden barrel and looking at her with a golden look in her eyes unconsciously revealing golden amazement.
Su Ximei was about to speak, but Yuan Xiang also chased after her from outside the door with a small wooden barrel.
"Ling Xiang, what are you doing running so fast! My bowels are going to break. ”
Ling Xiang turned her head to look at Yuan Xiang and grimaced at her.
"Who made you like a snail, moving so slowly."
When Yuan Xiang heard this, the corners of her mouth were deflated, and she looked at Miss Seven with a pretty face.
"Miss, Ling Xiang, she bullied again-"
The latter words were strained in her throat, and it took a while for her eyes to light up and she exclaimed: "Miss, why are you even better looking than yesterday?" ”
What does it mean to look better than yesterday?
It was as if she were saying it every day.
Su Ximei pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly.
Since Ling Xiang threw out the two pots of paraffin saffron according to her instructions, the red spots on her face gradually began to dissipate, and she had never touched the red pills in the Xuantie box, and her complexion naturally improved.
Especially in the past two days, the spots on the face have been completely eliminated, and the skin has become as white and radiant as mutton fat jade.
Little by little, her natural peerless face is coming to the surface.
It's just that for most of the past half a month, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been busy with the eldest sister's affairs, and at the funeral, these women in the boudoir who have not been out of the pavilion are wearing light tulle to cover their faces.
When she returned to the house, Su Ximei used her physical discomfort as an excuse and never stepped out of the courtyard for half a step.
Mrs. Su didn't blame her, the eldest sister has always loved her, and it is understandable that she was overly worried and reluctant to show up.
