With a look of half embarrassment and half surprise, Su Cimo was carried into the door by Tuoba Heng as if he had been picked up as a chicken.

Suddenly aroused the curious eyes of many families and maidservants in Tuoba Heng's mansion, and finally Su Cimo was uncomfortable, so he said to Tuoba Heng: "Brother Tuoba Heng, okay, can you let go of me!?" ”

Hearing his good brother Su Cimo's voice, Tuoba Heng finally couldn't bear to loosen the collar of his clothes, and then strode into his study, Su Cimo obediently followed Tuoba Heng into the room.

"Sit casually, and you're welcome, you will treat it as if you were your own home when you come to my house." Tuoba Heng seemed very relaxed, as if he had already prepared for Su Cimo's visit, and he didn't regard Su Cimo as an outsider.

Su Cimo was a lot more restrained by what he said, and she couldn't help but think about what she thought of just now, that is, whether Tuoba Heng would have anything wrong with him.

But just for a moment, Su Cimo immediately put this idea behind him. Because the purpose of her trip was to see if there were any other changes in Tuoba Heng under the favor of the seven princes of the court, after all, the person she had the deepest contact with in the court was Tuoba Heng, Su Cimo had to admit that he silently touched the heart of a friend of hers, so that she couldn't help but want to pay attention to him.

Tuoba Heng sat at the back of the case and looked at the fold in his hand, while Su Cimo sat in a square chair at the side of the head.

Tuoba Heng's maid came in and brought tea and a fruit bowl to the two, and Tuoba Heng ordered the maid to go down, leaving the two of them in the house.

After Tuoba Heng sent the maidservant away, he raised his eyes to look at Su Cimo, and his good-looking eyes looked at her carefully, and then he asked in a loud voice: "Okay, now can you tell me why you came to me!?" ”

Su Cimo looked at him with a serious expression and nodded, and then she picked up the tea bowl on the table with a cup lid and drank a sip of the fragrant and pleasant tea in it to moisten her throat, before she opened her mouth and said to Tuoba Heng: "I recently heard that the Seventh Prince won the title of King of Qi, and Concubine Yang also regained the emperor's favor, so I was curious about your recent situation and came out to see you." ”

Tuoba Heng immediately leaked a faint smile on his face, sure enough, his little brother would care about him, and he would actually come to ask himself from time to time, and he was also very willing to serve this kind of questioning.

"Then I really want to thank you for your concern! I've been doing well lately, eating well and sleeping soundly. Tuoba Heng didn't think much about it, just said this, he felt that for a person who really cared about himself, maybe he didn't need to say those high-sounding words to perfunctory him.

Su Cimo saw Tuoba Heng's heartless answer, so he suddenly sighed helplessly.

He really didn't expect Tuoba Heng to be able to answer so calmly at this time, so Su Cimo continued: "Tuoba Heng, you should know that if the emperor has a three-long and two-short thing, and either the crown prince or the seventh prince succeeds to the throne, they will not give you a good end!" ”

Su Cimo analyzed the seriousness of the matter, why did this prince seem more leisurely than himself!? Couldn't he smell the danger of the situation between the DPRK and China? Seeing him so calm and calm, Su Cimo was very helpless.

When Tuoba Heng heard her words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then reached out and stroked the tip of his nose twice, as if he had made up his mind, and then said, "I know this." ”

"Then why are you still so leisurely, aren't you afraid that something will happen?" Su Cimo continued to ask, with a look of concern on his face.

Tuoba Heng immediately shook his head, and then said, "I did this to balance the forces among the princes, so that those ministers would not be like headless flies around me all day long, and abandon the seven princes. ”

Su Cimo probably didn't understand the meaning of his words, so she thought of something again, but Tuoba Heng said at first: "Besides, now that the emperor is in good health, what you said will not happen for the time being, so why should I worry about it early?" ”

Su Cimo was speechless for a moment, his assumption was indeed set if the emperor could not do it.

Su Cimo was attentively understanding Tuoba Heng's thoughts and situation at the moment, and at the same time speculating about the situation in the emperor's heart, so she said: "Well, it's really embarrassing for you to be so low-key, if it were me who encountered this kind of thing, it is estimated that I would not be able to do it as leisurely as you." ”

Tuoba Heng nodded, and then asked, "Have you guessed the emperor's thoughts!?" ”

Su Cimo shook his head, but seeing Tuoba Heng's expression of waiting for her to explain in detail, Su Cimo reluctantly stood up and paced in this study, thinking about the situation that should be.

"The emperor favored Concubine Yang again, and the matter of being crowned at the same time as the Seventh Prince should not be an accident or coincidence, this should have been planned together a long time ago, right!?" Su Cimo nodded his finger on his chin as if he was uncertain, looking thoughtful.

Tuoba Heng's thin lips immediately pulled out a chuckle, and then he looked at Su Cimo and continued to ask, "And then!?" ”

"Since the emperor has so easily crowned the Seventh Prince, he has been relieved of his responsibility for improper words and deeds. It shows that his love for Concubine Yang has not diminished at all, and because of his mother, the Seventh Prince is also more favored in front of the emperor. However, now that the queen is on the throne, even if the Seventh Prince and Concubine Yang have this mind, they don't have the courage to take power seriously, but they are just manipulating the situation behind their backs. ”

Su Cimo analyzed the situation in the DPRK and China by drawing inferences, and Tuoba Heng smiled appreciatively when he heard it, and did not forget to nod.

"You can see this situation clearly, and you can make it clear in a few words." Tuoba Heng said, with a great sense of appreciating Su Cimo's intelligence.

"It should be Concubine Yang who is worrying now, I heard that she is more beautiful than before, maybe how much of these seven princes was crowned is because the emperor wants to please Concubine Yang, Tuoba Heng, I am really worried about your situation in the court!" Su Cimo said with a caring look, thinking that when he was interning in the court in the past, those princes would use his identity to do things that were unfavorable to Tuoba Heng, and it was hard to imagine what kind of situation Tuoba Heng would encounter in the future.

There is no protection of a capable mother in the court, just like the unfavored Prince Shuo, he was originally the eldest prince, and there was originally a force to speak for him in the court, but his mother died of illness early, so since then he has become an idle prince who no one cares about.

Although Tuoba Heng has not reached his point, but according to Su Cimo's opinion, it is not far from his point, as long as Tuoba Heng is not so concerned about the royal affairs a little, or someone deliberately frames him behind his back, then Tuoba Heng's position is really precarious, and it may not be guaranteed at any time.

"Now that you understand the situation in the palace, you must be guessing the importance of a concubine to the prince!?" Tuoba Heng asked as if he was sure.

Su Cimo nodded, and then said: "This is also my way to protect myself, I am not the one who is used to telling them to keep it in their eyes all day long, so that they will not be jealous of those undeserved, and they can silently accumulate strength behind their backs, isn't this the best situation?" ”

Su Cimo finally colluded at this time, and then she nodded and said, "Oh, I didn't think of this." ”

"You are smart, but you still lack some experience, follow me in the future, not to mention glory and wealth, but if you want to seek the experience of being stable in this palace, it is very good." Tuoba Heng swore that he didn't elaborate on what should be done, but just said what he would experience in the future.

Suddenly, Su Cimo leaked a gratifying smile, and then said: "It is also Su's honor to be appreciated by Brother Tuoba today. ”

Su Cimo admired Tuoba Heng's character and talent very much, so today he was glad that he could be so frank and trusting of himself, so he said that he wanted to deal with the people who were unfavorable to him in the DPRK and China.

Of course, Tuoba Heng is also very happy, a newcomer like Su Cimo who doesn't know much about anything is the best for him, a person with a fine and innocent background, compared to those who have excellent ability for people of his status, who are the most expensive of the noble.

Su Cimo sat in the Three Princes' Mansion for a while, and Tuoba Heng suddenly remembered something, so he said to Su Cimo: "Brother Su didn't come to my mansion, I forgot, last time the emperor rewarded me with something." ”

After that, Tuoba Heng took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Su Cimo's hand, and then said: "It's not a precious thing, it's a reward for your meritorious work in suppressing bandits, and you can take care of your life a lot with yourself, no matter how good." ”

Su Cimo was embarrassed, and wanted to refuse, but saw that Tuoba Heng sat back in his position as if he had nothing to do, so he didn't want to say anything more, but reluctantly received it in the sleeve.

"Then Su is respectful, it is better to obey his fate."

Su Cimo sat for a while and then said that he was going back to the academy, Tuoba Heng saw this and immediately asked Chen Feng to send him to the outside of the academy, Su Cimo refused tightly, but Tuoba Heng had a very tough attitude, saying that if he was bothered to come to the house to see him, it would be regarded as a reward for his hard work.

Su Cimo had no choice but to agree to let Chen Feng send him out of the city, as for the journey up the mountain to the academy, she had better go by herself, so as not to be seen and cause more trouble.

On this day, Song Bibai searched everywhere for Su Cimo but didn't find him, and finally saw Su Cimo walking up the mountain alone from the bottom of the mountain when the sun was about to set.

Seeing that he was dressed lightly and didn't carry anything extra on his body, Song Bibai was slightly displeased.
