In the upper room, Su Changzhen, the Duke of Su, was frowning, and whispered to Dong Nianfang, the Duchess of the State who was sitting on the side, crying to herself: "Oops! All right! What's the use of crying? Now the emperor's edict has come down, agreeing that we will send Qiaotong to the palace on the same day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIsn't this what we want, what else do you have to cry about? ”

"It's as you wish! I don't want to send my precious daughter to the palace to live that kind of life of competing for favor all day long. Dong Nianfang didn't follow, and her voice involuntarily rose higher.

As he was talking, Su Changzhen saw Su Qiaotong from the porch of the flower window, and he was walking towards the upper room with the maid.

He hurriedly pressed his palm and motioned Dong Nianfang to stop talking.

Dong Nianfang followed his line of sight and also saw her daughter who was walking in this direction.

The two of them stretched their necks, straightened their backs, looked at Su Qiaotong with complicated feelings, and came to Shi Shi.

Su Qiaotong, who had just come from the Kyaukyue Pavilion, did not change his clothes, he was still dressed in white, with a high bundle of green silk, and there was no decoration on his head, but he looked more out of the world and was fairy.

Her ice muscles are like jade, her eyebrows are picturesque, her apricot eyes are flickering, and she is indescribably soft and gentle. Cut shoulders, water snake waist, tassels on the belt of the dance suit, with the pace of light and swaying, the whole person looks light, like a lively and agile flower fairy.

As soon as Su Qiaotong entered the house, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong. She looked left and right suspiciously, grabbed the sleeve of her left hand with her right hand, raised her left index finger, put it in front of her lips, looked surprised and curious, and asked, "Dad, mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, Tong'er...... Dad has something he wants to discuss with you. Su Chang Zhenqiang squeezed out a smile, wanting to dispel the doubts in his daughter's heart. However, his smile made Su Qiaotong even more suspicious.

"What kind of discussion, is there any room for negotiation in this matter?" The Dong family's nurse on the side was heartfelt, and couldn't help but say a word.

These words made Su Qiaotong stunned, she hurriedly leaned up, half leaned on Dong Nianfang's side, and asked softly, "Mother, what is the matter?" Mother...... Did you just cry? ”

Dong shook his head, but the tears were even more turbulent.

Looking at this situation, Su Qiaotong knew that something was wrong, I was afraid that it was related to herself, and it was definitely not a good thing.

She bit her lip, slowly straightened up, and asked Su Changzhen in a deep voice, "Dad, what is the matter?" My mother, why are you so sad? ”

Su Changzhen wanted to speak again and again, and finally spoke out with difficulty: "Tong'er, I guess you have also heard that recently, Woxi Country is harassing the people on the border, beating people, robbing things, and making people panic......

Su Qiaotong's expression softened a little, a look of sympathy and compassion appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Of course I heard that my father, as a minister of state guarding the western border, must be worried day and night, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat. ”

Su Changzhen breathed a sigh of relief, it was rare for her to be so understanding, so she continued: "However, now there are rumors in the government and the opposition that I have been bought by the Worthy Kingdom and have the intention of defecting to the enemy country. ”

When Su Changzhen said this, he was very emotional, anger rose in his eyes, and green tendons appeared on his head, although these words came out of his own mouth, it still made Su Changzhen difficult to accept.

"How is that possible! Dad, you won't do this kind of treason! Su Qiaotong also said excitedly.

Su Changzhen nodded firmly, looked at Su Qiaotong's gaze, and bloomed with a soft and excited light, which was the color of gratitude that emanated after being affirmed.

"Tong'er, although my heart is towards the court, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not be suspicious of me." Su Changzhen sighed and sat down in the chair with a sad expression on his face.

Su Qiaotong said angrily: "Why doesn't he believe it? Dad, you have led troops to guard the border for so many years, keeping one side safe, relieving the king's worries, the people are happy and prosperous, and the officials are honest and diligent, what reason does he have to suspect that you will join the enemy? ”

Facing his daughter's praise, Su Changzhen smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said, "A thousand-year-old Taoist line was once brushed away." The newly succeeded emperor of the Worthy Kingdom knew how to use the art of discord. In the past, when the Worthy Kingdom invaded, I only needed to lead my troops to repel them. However, this time, they only harassed the people, and did not confront our army head-on. and the people are resentful against us. At the same time, they also sent spies to the capital to spread rumors everywhere, saying that I had been bought by them and was ready to defect to the enemy and treason at any time! ”

In the end, Su Changzhen couldn't help but pound the corner of the table angrily, eager to catch those spies and cut off their tongues.

Su Qiaotong's eyes darkened, walked over gently, and comforted in a low voice: "Dad, don't worry, there will definitely be a way." ”

Su Qiaotong also understands that the scorching mouth is gold, and the bones are destroyed. Although Dad doesn't have the slightest intention of defecting to the enemy and treason, but the enemy can't be slandered by everyone, if everyone says that Dad will defect to the enemy and commit treason, then the emperor will definitely think so.

What will the emperor do for a courtier who is ready to defect to the enemy and commit treason? Su Qiaotong only thought about it for a moment, and then didn't dare to think about it anymore. Her eyes were also clouded with deep worry.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Su Qiaotong asked, "Dad, you just said that you want to discuss things with me, what is the matter?" Do you have any way to save our country? ”

Su Changzhen's body was shocked, as if he had been startled. He raised his head and looked at his daughter in front of him in a daze, and for a while, he didn't know how to speak.

The Dong family on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Your father, I want to send you to the palace to serve the emperor to show your loyalty!" ”

After speaking, Dong's voice choked, and then he cried loudly.

Su Qiaotong was stunned, she didn't expect that the matter that Su Changzhen wanted to discuss with herself was actually this matter. For a moment, her eyes were a little out of focus, and her body couldn't help but tilt slightly.

Su Chang stood up all of a sudden, and hurriedly supported Su Qiaotong's body, a little weak-hearted, and a little humbly persuaded: "Tong'er, for the sake of today, only by sending you to the palace, the emperor will not be suspicious of me." I also want to kill the enemy with all my strength and repel the country of Worthy in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if the emperor listens to the slander, he will definitely send me back to the capital with an order. My personal career is small, the new emperor of the Woxi Kingdom has just succeeded to the throne and is ambitious, if you don't give him a fatal blow as soon as possible, the people on the border will suffer! ”

Su Qiaotong just lowered his eyes and didn't speak, and Su Changzhen's voice next to his ears seemed strange and distant, and he couldn't really hear it. In her heart, she only kept repeating one sentence: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, dancing night and night, but in the end, the new person laughs and the old person cries.

"Tong'er, Tong'er...... What happened to you? You speak! Don't scare me. Su Changzhen anxiously shook Su Qiaotong's shoulder.

Su Qiaotong's body and head, under his shaking, swayed involuntarily, she was in a trance, she saw her mother raise her face, looking at herself nervously, she saw the rouge of her crying flowers, and the new wrinkles at the corners of her mouth......

Su Qiaotong only felt a headache, she raised her hand, pinched her temples, and asked randomly: "Is it decided?" ”

"Huh?" Su Changzhen couldn't react for a while, but immediately, he understood what Su Qiaotong meant, and quickly nodded, "It's decided, the emperor has issued an order to send you into the palace on the same day." ”

"I'm going to get some sleep first." Su Qiaotong felt that she needed to get out of here quickly, she felt that the whole world was spinning, it was not real, she had to be down-to-earth, lie down on the bed, everything, wait until she was awake.

"Okay, here's someone!" Su Changzhen saw that her situation was wrong, so he hurriedly called the maid and sent Su Qiaotong back to the room to rest. Then, he told the family to invite Lang Zhong to come over and see what was wrong with the young lady.

At this time, Dong Nianfang couldn't care about crying, she hurriedly got up and helped Su Qiaotong and sent her back to the room together. Then, she stayed by her side all the time, watching Su Qiaotong fall asleep.

Lang Zhong came over to take a look, finished taking the pulse, only said that he was frightened for a while, and it was no big deal, so he prescribed some calming medicine and left.

The maid boiled the medicine and brought it over, but she couldn't pour it in, Su Qiaotong seemed to be asleep, and her teeth tightened. At this moment, Dong Nianfang panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to quickly whip up the horse and chase Lang Zhong back.

Lang Zhong, who was chased back, took the pulse again and reassured: "Duchess Guo, don't be nervous, Miss Su, just sleep to death." ”

I really slept to death!

Dong Nianfang wiped her tears, but she couldn't rest assured at all: "Doctor, when will the little girl wake up?" Why did she ...... all of a sudden? Sleeping so hard? ”

"Duchess rest assured, Miss Su is afraid that she has been strongly stimulated, and her body is protecting herself, so she will block all interference from the outside world and concentrate on resting. According to her state, it is estimated that she will wake up when she is not in time. ”

At this moment, Dong Nianfang was finally a little relieved.

Su Qiaotong, who was asleep, had a very strange and real dream.

She dreamed of herself, standing on a high platform, looking down on the common people, and the shouts below kept coming, but she couldn't see anything clearly. Slowly, from the fog below, slowly walked up a person. The man was dressed in red, graceful and gorgeous, and had a good demeanor. She went all the way up, always with a happy and cold smile on her face.

Su Qiaotong in the dream kept staring at her. The more she looked, the more she felt as if she had seen this person somewhere. In the end, she suddenly discovered that the person in red clothes who walked slowly up was herself!

She shouted, "It's you!" ”

The man in red, who was originally coming up slowly, smiled slyly when he heard her words: "You found out!" ”

Then, the man in red lifted his dress, turned into a run, and rushed in the direction of Su Qiaotong from below. Su Qiaotong's heart tightened, not knowing what she wanted to do to herself.

The man in red ran all the way to the high platform where Su Qiaotong was standing, and then walked around behind her. Su Qiaotong only felt the sound of a strong wind behind his ears, and before he could turn around, he felt that he had been pushed off the high platform.

"Ahh Su Qiaotong exclaimed, and finally woke up. At this time, the sound of the watch outside just sounded, and it was already the middle of the night.
