59. 59 Jade Pendant
Sikong Jin obviously didn't expect that Su Rui's change of dressing would be a huge test for him.
As she surrounded him with the scent of sweet wine, he felt as if the air had become ambiguous around him.
Through the dim candle flame, Sikong Jin lowered his eyes and looked at Su Rui, who was stretching his hands over his armpits and was wrapping bandages for him, the black neckline was slightly open, and the looming scenery at her placket made Sikong Jin's snort mess, and he hurriedly took a deep breath and looked away from other places.
No way. Sikong Jin's heart was bitter for a while, and he seemed to have some reactions.
He simply pushed Su Rui away roughly, Su Rui was drunk and slammed back, and fell heavily on the bed, she raised her eyes that were confused and drunk and looked at Sikong Jin in confusion, "Did it hurt you?" Suri asked.
"Hmm." Sikong Jin replied in a rough voice, and then snatched the bandage from Su Rui's hand, "Go inside and sleep." Clumsy, can't do anything, don't need you to come. β
"Oh." Su Rui was already dizzy, and since Sikong Jin didn't need her to come, she was even more willing to lie down and go to sleep quickly. She crawled towards the bed, Sikong Jin looked at the half of the snow-white calf exposed under her black robe, and her throat tightened again.
This woman!
He hurriedly bandaged himself, and then was about to raise his hand to extinguish the candle, but remembered that he had suffered internal injuries and could not use his true anger for a few days.
Fortunately, there are only candles lit indoors, so it's not particularly bright, so be it. He raised his hand and lowered the tent, which looked much darker.
When he had done that, he could distinctly hear a faint snoring coming from his side.
She didn't have any worries and slept quickly.
Sikong Jin put his arms under his head and turned his face sideways to look at Su Rui who was sleeping.
Her cheeks were slightly crimson because of the strength of the wine, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes like butterfly wings, rising and falling slightly with her breathing. Her lips are very beautiful, with a healthy moist sheen, like a cherry, and people can't help but want to take a bite.
Sikong Jin stretched out a hand to puff away the broken hair scattered on her cheeks, revealing the scars at the corners of her eyes, and the fingertips gently brushed the scars, and Su Rui in his sleep let out a few whispers, and Sikong Jin suddenly stopped his movements. After a while, he realized that he hadn't woken her up, so he smiled faintly.
If it weren't for this scar, maybe she wouldn't be lying on her side now.
She should have married the little marquis of the Jun family in Dajin.
Jun Rushuang's name has been heard even if he is far away in Hu Kingdom. It is rumored that he is the god of war of Hu State, and it is rumored that he has been weak since he was a child, and others say that the Jun family has produced a little marquis of waste wood, but he met a master by chance. Take him away, one is eight years, when he returned to Beijing at the age of fourteen, the first thing he did was to anonymously take the martial arts champion, shocking the entire Dajin, at the age of fifteen, he had become famous in a war, and he was born in a famous family, the Jun family era was a general, and he held half of the army of Dajin in his hands, and his strength should not be underestimated.
It is said that when he returned to Beijing at the age of sixteen, the flowers thrown at him covered the entire streets of Daikin, stretching from the city gate to the imperial palace.
If it weren't for Su Rui's scar, then it would be the little marquis of Dajin who is now by her side.
Then her fate will be completely different from what it is now. Jun Rushuang shouldn't bully her like herself.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jin's eyebrows seemed to have a little smile.
Speaking of which, I have always been prejudiced against her, although she is a princess of Dajin, but she has no frame at all, when her personality is stubborn, she is like turning her head in a pit, no matter how she fights, she will not look back, and when she is docile, it makes people feel like a spring breeze. It's really special.
Originally, Sikong Jin thought that Su Rui was by his side, and he would have insomnia, but he didn't expect to look at it, and a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
The dazzling and bright sunlight was projected obliquely on Su Rui's body, Su Rui moved slightly, and slowly opened her eyes, the strength of the wine brewed by Baihua had passed, but she still had a little hangover, and her head was a little heavy.
Where is she?
She looked around at the strange surroundings, and after a while, she remembered that she had slept with Sikong Jin last night.
She sat up sharply, and when she turned her head, there was no one beside her.
Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was already up. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of embarrassment it is.
Su Rui hugged his head and knocked it twice, letting out a wail, why did he agree to sleep here, he must have drunk too much yesterday.
She looked down at the placket of her clothes, fortunately, she was not afraid that Sikong Jin would do something to her, but that she was afraid that she would do something to Sikong Jin with the power of alcohol.
Fortunately, Sikong Jin is not drunk! If he wanted to do it himself, he would have thrown it on the opposite wall long ago.
That's great. δΈqiΔ Taiping as ever. Suri was in a good mood, and he was about to shout three times.
Su Rui tiptoed out of bed, wrapped herself tightly in last night's black robe, and wanted to sneak back to her room, but when she got out of bed, she heard a cough from the room, "Are you awake?" Then Sikong Jin's voice also floated in.
"Uh......" Su Rui was stunned, and raised her eyes to meet Sikong Jin's eyes who were sitting at the table reading a book, and then she laughed embarrassedly, "Yes, you're early." β
"It's still early?" Sikong Jin snorted coldly, "It's already afternoon!" β
"Huh?" Su Rui was taken aback, "Really? β
"What's the good of lying to you?" Sikong Jin turned his wheelchair and moved to the door, "Since you're awake, hurry up." This king has something to look for you, change your clothes and come to the study to see this king. β
Listening to what Sikong Jin said, Su Rui didn't dare to slack off, and after Sikong Jin went out, Liuli walked in with Su Rui's clothes. Su Rui was not embarrassed to change his clothes in Liuli's slightly ambiguous gaze, and after washing, he hurriedly used some snacks and rushed all the way to Sikong Jin's study.
Sikong Jin sat alone behind the desk, and after Su Rui entered, he motioned for Su Rui to close the door and sit in front of him.
Su Rui obediently did so, because he didn't know what Sikong Jin was looking for her, and it was so solemn, so Su Rui was also a little nervous.
She looked at Sikong Jin uneasily, "What the hell is going on?" β
Sikong Jin opened the drawer of his desk, took out a jade pendant from the secret pavilion inside, and put it in front of Su Rui.
"Have you ever seen this jade pendant?" Sikong Jin asked with a straight face.
"This jade pendant ......" Su Rui curiously picked up the jade pendant and looked at it repeatedly, it seemed familiar. But I can't really remember where I've seen it.
"This workmanship should be from our big gold." Su Rui said, "And this kind of jade quality and style is not something that ordinary people can use. β
"Haven't you seen it?" Sikong Jin asked, "Or is there someone who has something like that?" Sikong Jin also guessed that this jade pendant would not be something that ordinary people could wear.
"I think I've seen it." Su Rui frowned, it really seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but he really couldn't remember this meeting.
"Think again." Sikong Jin said, "This is from the person who assassinated you. β
Su Rui raised his eyes and looked at Sikong Jinyan's handsome face, "You mean that the person who assassinated me came from Dajin?" β
"You can't judge that way. But it has something to do with the people of Daikin. Sikong Jin said. Or it is deliberately left for framing. β
That's not a small deal! Suri's gaze sank.
Although she is so lazy that she just wants to be a rice worm, but now that her life is worried, she has to think about it.
She swore that she had really seen this jade pendant, and she didn't know if it was this one, but there were similar ones......
Su Rui pondered for a long time, and finally she looked at Sikong Jin in disappointment and shook her head, "I really can't remember." β
"It doesn't matter." Sikong Jin nodded lightly and comforted, "Think about it slowly." I also sent someone to Dajin to check, and similar jade pendants are only found among nobles. Have you ever had a feud with someone in Daikin? β
"Nope!" Su Rui replied categorically, and she regretted it a little after she finished speaking, she didn't, it doesn't mean that the original owner of this body didn't either, so she slowed down her tone, "No......"
Sikong Jin knew that Su Rui was not too sure, so he couldn't ask why.
It would be impossible for a favored princess like her to say that no one was hostile in the harem, but the harem was just a competition for favor, and she was a princess, even if there was any friction and displeasure, she would not be chased to Hu after she got married.
So this matter should have nothing to do with her personal vendettas.
Since it has nothing to do with the individual, it still involves the affairs of the family and the country.
"Wait!" Su Rui's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up, "I remember! β
"What?" Sikong Jin also followed with a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"I remember when I was a princess, I was playing in the garden once and bumped into Concubine Jun, who was carrying a jade pendant like this around her waist." Su Rui took the jade pendant and said quickly, with uncontrollable excitement on his face, "At that time, the jade pendant fell to the ground, and I picked it up for her and hung it up, and praised the jade pendant twice." As for whether it's the same, I'm not sure, but it's really similar! β
"Concubine Jun? Who is that? Sikong Jin frowned and asked.
Su Rui scratched his head, "Actually, I don't know too much. But at that time, I was too bored and would listen to the palace maids gossip. It seems that Concubine Jun is Jun Rushuang's aunt. I remember when I came to Hu, the last big county near Hu was Anxi. By the way, Jun Rushuang's camp is also located in Anxi. At that time, Wan'er also asked me if I wanted to call Jun Rushuang to stink. β
"And what do you say?" Sikong Jin held back a smile and asked, "Did you call him?" β
"Nope." Su Rui shook his head indifferently, "I don't even know what he looks like, so I'm too lazy to spray, it's better to sleep a little longer if I have that time." β
It's kind of like her way of doing things. Sikong Jin couldn't help but smile, lowered his head and chuckled.
"You've been smiling a lot lately." Seeing Sikong Jin smile, Su Rui couldn't help but smile as well, "How good this is, it's much better than you wearing an ice cube face all day long." β
Realizing that he was smiling in front of Su Rui, Sikong Jin was also stunned for a while, he tried hard to regain his cold appearance, but he felt that his face seemed to be a little uncontrollable.
"Oh yes." Su Rui said, "When the envoy of Anxi Town came to meet him, he also wore such a waist wear. I also asked him at the time if he was related to Jun Guifei, and he said that he was Jun Guifei's cousin, yes. I remember! Suri cheered.
"The person who assassinated you will have something to do with the Anxi Town Guard and the Jun family." Sikong Jin nodded, he would send someone to investigate again, what Su Rui said coincided with some of the clues he found in some ways.
"Why did you say he came to kill me?" Su Rui asked puzzled.
"It shouldn't be that he's going to kill you." Sikong Jin said, "The person who should have killed you wants to frame him." That's why I got a piece of such a jade pendant and deliberately showed it to others. β
"That's right. I have no grievances with Concubine Jun. Suri nodded, "Then who wants to blame him?" Why are you involved with me? β
"Since Concubine Jun is in the palace, she should know your situation, why does the Jun family insist on withdrawing from the marriage?" Sikong Jin suddenly asked.
"How do I know?" Su Rui glared, "My father was also angry with Concubine Jun because of this matter, and made her a concubine, and later took back the twelve gold medals of the Jun family to avoid death through this incident." β
Could it be that the fact that he is like a demon and cannot have children was spread by his father? In order to force the Jun family to withdraw from the marriage? So that it is convenient for him to take back the Jun family's gold medal for avoiding death? Thus weakening the power of the Jun family? Su Rui suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then his face turned pale.
No...... He has always regarded himself as the pearl of his palm, and he is the only concubine of the former queen, and his mother died to save him, so he will not treat himself like this.
Sikong Jin raised his eyes to take into account the changes in Su Rui's face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If his guess is correct, Concubine Jun is only afraid that he has passed on the intention of Emperor Dajin to weaken the Jun family to the old marquis of the Jun family.
In order to protect the Jun family, the old marquis of Jun will make a plan, in the name of retiring from marriage, in fact, he handed over the gold medal to avoid death, and transferred Jun Rushuang out of the capital.
It's just that...... The national affairs did sacrifice the princess Su Rui, and the heart of the Dajin Emperor was ruthless enough.
It is impossible to say that he does not love Su Rui's daughter, and the honor he gives Su Rui is beyond the expectations of others, but this is the emperor, for some things, he has to sacrifice other people, even his most beloved daughter is no exception.
He really wanted to comfort Su Rui, and he guessed that Su Rui had already figured it out, but for a while he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Su Rui sitting opposite him with a pale face, he could only accompany her quietly and wait for her to calm down.
