Early the next morning, Zhao Junzhi was convicted and imprisoned, and the news of Xie Jinghua's death was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The old man was dressed in a plain green robe, with a tall posture and heroic eyebrows. At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, facing the window, and looked coldly at the people standing in the courtyard.

"Master, Your Highness has been waiting for two hours, this ......"

Xiao Shichu interrupted the servant's words in a cold voice: "What is two hours, let him wait if he wants to, at the age of more than twenty, can he still be sick after standing for one station?" ”

The servant hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say more.

Zhao Xu pursed his lips, stared at the tall figure between the window papers with an expression, and clenched his fists.

Although he vaguely knew in his heart that Zhao Junzhi had planned the assassination of the prince's mansion at the behest of his uncle, he still wanted to see his uncle in person and ask him clearly.

If it was really Zhao Junzhi's doing, it would probably have nothing to do with his uncle.

Zhao Xu's eyes were cold, so that his eldest brother would probably never believe his so-called unintentional party struggle for power again.

Xiao Shichu looked at the young man in the distance through the crack in the window, and suddenly turned his head sideways and said to the servant: "Take out the things on the table and show him." ”

The servant immediately stepped forward to take the letter spread out on the desk, and hurried out.

Xiao Shichu sneered, brushed his sleeves and left the room.

Zhao Xu stood there, hearing the footsteps, his eyes changed, and his expression was a little excited, but when he saw that the person who came was a servant, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and grabbed the servant's collar in anger: "What about Lord Xiao?" ”

The servant trembled and handed over the letterhead: "The master instructed the little one to give this to His Highness." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned, let go of his hand and grabbed the letter paper, unfolded it and looked at it, his face was as white as paper.

Zhao Junzhi was convicted, and Xie Jinghua was dead......

"Your Highness?"

Zhao Xu came back to his senses, crumpled the letter paper into a ball and threw it away, raised his foot and kicked the servant to the ground: "Get out!" He suddenly turned around and strode out of the prime minister's mansion, shouting loudly to prepare the horses.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth: "Prince's Mansion!" ”

……

After returning to Su's house from the Prince's Mansion yesterday, Su Xinran was frightened, in a trance, and rested early.

The people in the Su Mansion saw that the third and fourth young ladies were not very good, and the fifth young lady, who had always been cold-faced, had clear eyebrows, and when they looked closely, they were still a little radiant, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and they all speculated that the fifth miss was probably in the prince's mansion and encountered something good.

Su Peiran ignored those gazes, and pulled Jiang Yirou to Shu Kuoxuan.

There were many inconveniences in the prince's mansion before, but now only the two of them are left, and they can finally have a good talk.

"Where the hell have you been all these years? Why is there no news at all? Su Peiran led her to sit down on the couch and looked her up and down.

Jiang Yirou touched the back of her hand and smiled: "Don't look at me like this, I can pretend to be your maid and stay by your side for a long time, look at you like this, as if you have only met for the first time!" ”

Su Peiran lowered his eyes, a little guilty: "I'm also confused, I can't recognize you." ”

"It's not your fault, my appearance is very different from what I used to be."

Su Peiran nodded: "You used to be like a hemp stick, you were too thin, but now you are just right, and you look much better." ”

After a pause, he was slightly annoyed and said, "You haven't answered me what I asked you before, where have you been hiding for so many years?" I'm so hard to find! ”

Jiang Yirou sighed, thinking that it was prevarication: "I left the southern land with Pei Xiu back then. ”

"Who is Pei Xiu?"

"Do you know about the Pei family in Beijing?"

Su Peiran was taken aback.

Shangjing Pei's family, there is only one famous one, although Su Peiran is a boudoir lady, she has also heard of one or two. The Pei family was originally a wealthy family in Beijing, and they were on par with the Ji family many years ago. The Pei family is different from pure merchants like the Ji family, and has a scholarly tradition that has continued from generation to generation, and there are many amazing and beautiful characters in one surname, but I am afraid that it is better than the Ji family back then.

It's just that the Pei family began to decline and weaken for some reason seven or eight years ago, and has now become a small family that relies on a few fat powder incense shops to survive.

As soon as Jiang Yirou saw her reaction, she knew the answer: "Pei Xiu was originally the second young master of the Pei family, he abandoned the Pei family to find me in the south, claiming to be a close friend of my parents. ”

"Why did you believe him?"

Jiang Yirou raised her hand to take off the white hosta on her bun: "This hairpin was given to me by my mother, but it was actually something that Pei Xiu gave to my mother in the early years, and Pei Xiu had another black one, which was a pair with this one in my hand." ”

What she said in the ice cave at the beginning Pei Xiu deceived herself by using the iceberg snow lotus as bait, but it was just casual nonsense, but now that she thinks about it, with a scheming like Ji Liansong, she would not believe her nonsense at that time.

"Auntie, she ......" Su Peiran frowned, and stopped talking.

"Although my mother accepted this hairpin, she was afraid of causing more trouble, so she never took it out and wore it," Jiang Yirou paused, "This hairpin can be regarded as half a token." ”

Su Peiran didn't say anything, looking at Jiang Yirou with a complicated expression.

"You look like this, you won't be dropping golden beans again, will you?" Jiang Yirou was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

Su Peiran glanced at her angrily: "Blind your eyes, who said I was going to cry!" ”

"Well, that's right."

Seeing that Su Peiran was about to have a seizure, she hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "I know you have a lot to ask me, I will wash it later, the two of us will go to bed and talk slowly, it will be a long time......"

Su Peiran wiped his eyes and nodded silently.

The two of them hurriedly washed and lay down under a quilt and talked next to each other.

The lights in the room were like beans, dim and dim, Jiang Yirou saw Su Peiran looking at her eyes brightly on the other side, and suddenly felt as if she had returned to her childhood, and a burst of satisfaction and warmth swelled in her heart, and her tone unconsciously slowed down.

After chatting like this all night, the two of them did not rest until the next day, when it was dawn.

It's just that when I woke up, I heard that something big had happened in Sufu.

Hearing that the maid Xiantao who came to report said that Su Xinran was slapped by Su Bai, Su Peiran and Jiang Yirou couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces were surprised.

Brother and sister, this is really a bit out of line, not to mention that the prince was assassinated now, Su Yuntang and Su Jintang are very annoyed.

Su Peiran sipped his tea: "At this moment, the second brother still can't hold back, and he is really angry when he thinks about it." ”

"But it's not," Xiantao nodded and patted her chest with palpitations, "Girl, haven't you seen it with your own eyes, the second young master's appearance is really terrifying, the slave maid has never known that someone with such a good temper as the second young master would be so angry, and Mama Qin's front teeth were knocked out by him with a punch!" ”

Su Peiran frowned: "Why are you still involved with Mama Qin, what is the matter with the second brother being angry like this?" ”

"Does the girl remember Lan Luo, the girl who served in the four girls' house before?"

As soon as Jiang Yirou heard the name Lan Luo, she was the next one - could it be ......
