Chapter 52: It's All a Coincidence
After Su Zhiyuan was released, those people suddenly didn't know what to do, and at this time, another rumor spread on the street.
"I heard that the female corpse was not killed by Miss Su, Miss Su was angry at home before, where can she have the ability to kill."
"Who killed that?"
"You say, how stable our capital is in the past, why have so many things happened recently, who else do you say it has to do with it?"
"You're talking about the people who live in that inn?"
"Hey, Loulan is just a small country, where do you dare to do things here, I'm talking about it, it's that princess, she, she wanted to be in the limelight at the palace banquet and was pressed by Miss Su, so she was unhappy and killed people with anger!"
"No wonder they want to frame Miss Su, they want to compete for territory on our border every year, if it weren't for General Su's complete victory this year, which suppressed their arrogance, where would they personally come to congratulate our emperor on his birthday."
"That's it, that is, Xuanyue's people themselves are brutal and murderous, I didn't expect that princess to be so vicious, I also heard that she wants to be the crown princess of our country, and I feel that Miss Su has suppressed her limelight, so she has to get rid of this stumbling block."
"Woo ......"
For a while, all public opinion began to accuse Situ Chuhan of killing someone.
Some people even ran directly to the front of the post house and demanded that they hand over the murderer and punish him severely.
When the emperor heard these things, his head was big.
This time, Situ Chuhan did have the idea of marrying with the Tianyu Dynasty, so the emperor also wanted to be quiet on the border for a few years, so that the relationship between the two countries could be more harmonious.
But if it continues like this, it is estimated that the marriage will be yellow nine times out of ten.
"Third child, this matter will be handled by you, calm down the public opinion as soon as possible, and find a way to let Princess Chuhan have a good relationship with everyone." The emperor's head is big.
"Father, let the crown prince or the fourth brother do it, I only know how to fight, and I don't know how to calm public opinion." Sikong Mubai directly rejected this task, but he hadn't lost his anger yet, according to his temperament, Situ Chuhan killed someone in the imperial capital of the Heavenly Domain, and also framed Su Zhiyuan, who was already extremely guilty, and directly tore his face with Xuanyue, and only finished it after beating him, and now he has to shield this murderer.
The emperor's face was slightly stunned, he had always had no way to take his son, who made him make great achievements, if it weren't for Sikong Mubai, the entire heavenly domain would not have such a peaceful and peaceful day today.
"Father, it's better for the sons to do this, the sons like to do these things." Seeing that the faces of the father and son were not quite right, Sikong Qianche hurriedly came out to play a round.
"That's it, then let's go."
Sikong Qianche sent a pair of Praetorian Guards to protect the post house, and at the same time sent people to calm the people's public opinion.
Originally, Situ Chuhan thought that he could still be in the limelight in the emperor of the heavenly domain, and let people see the demeanor of Princess Xuanyue, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by Su Zhiyuan on the first day he came, and finally thought of a way to clean up Su Zhiyuan, but he didn't expect to be recognized again, and he also folded into a right-hand man, and now he can't even get out of the door even when he hides in the post house for a day, which makes her very angry.
Sikong Qianche is indeed a good hand at doing these things, and within two days, public opinion slowly subsided.
However, when Yue Yinxian heard his subordinates report this, he looked disdainful: "Tsk, are all the princes of this Heavenly Domain so hypocritical?" Cut! ”
As public opinion subsided, in order to ease the relationship between the two countries, the emperor ordered the queen to hold a small banquet in the harem and invite the ladies in the capital to participate together.
Su Zhiyuan was naturally among the invitees.
She actually didn't want to go when she received the post, but the post placed by the queen herself, even if she didn't want to, she had to go.
So Su Zhiyuan had to enter the palace to face the mess he didn't want to face.
Sure enough, just when she arrived at the banquet, she saw Situ Chuhan talking to the ladies who had already arrived.
Seeing Su Zhiyuan walk in, the little girls who were originally talking to Situ Chuhan gathered one after another: "Miss Su is here!" ”
"Sister Kite, are you here?"
"Miss Su's clothes are very beautiful today!"
They came around with a gossip, leaving Situ Chuhan alone not far away, looking very embarrassed.
After the banquet began, the queen said: "Today, the palace is invited by the emperor's edict to invite all of you, not just to have a lively time, mainly because Princess Chuhan has been in our heavenly realm for a short time, and she has never had any friends, so let you come over to accompany her, so that she will not be lonely alone." ”
Everyone now knows what kind of character Princess Chuhan is, and it is too late for everyone to avoid her, and they dare to be friends with her, but when the queen said so, everyone could only speak silently.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the queen was also slightly embarrassed, and continued: "In order to show her sincerity, Chu Han also brought you some Xuanyue specialties, you can taste them. ”
So a palace maid sent a plate of dried fruits to everyone's desk, but in front of Su Zhiyuan, there was suddenly a different dried fruit.
Su Zhiyuan didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask, "Niangniang, why do I have an extra copy?" ”
Princess Chu Han explained: "I'm really sorry for you last time, so this extra part is a snack I made myself, and I apologize to you." ”
Su Zhiyuan gently approached the snack, smelled it, but faintly smelled a faint aroma of fruit wine, and then looked at the other dishes on the table, and suddenly understood, this snack is clearly deliberate, where is the fruit wine fragrance, it is clearly a kind of incense, often used to add color when making spices, it is originally non-toxic, but you must not eat one thing, licorice.
Because once this kind of incense encounters licorice, it will make people delirious, and in severe cases, even paralyzed, resulting in sudden death.
And on the table, there happened to be a soup with licorice in it.
Su Zhiyuan smiled: "Thank you, but I don't like to eat this kind of snack, the princess has a heart." ”
"Are you unwilling to forgive me, so you are unwilling to accept my snacks?" Princess Chu Han looked pitiful, and after speaking, she glanced at the queen, as if she was asking for help.
Su Zhiyuan still shook his head: "There is nothing that you don't forgive, if you don't like to eat, you don't like to eat, and it has nothing to do with forgiving you." ”
Seeing her attitude, the queen hurriedly comforted: "Miss Su, you are the daughter of my Tianyu Zaifu, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, you still learn from your father, and the matter can be over." ”
Su Zhiyuan looked at the queen with a particularly determined look: "Niangniang, it's not that I'm stingy and unwilling to forgive her, but I really don't like to eat this snack." ”
Su Zhiyuan naturally knew that this matter was different, Tianyu was unwilling to tear his face now, and if he continued like this, he would definitely be rumored, he was rude and willful, and he didn't even want to listen to the queen's words.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Zhiyuan said this, everyone was taken aback, and looked at her in disbelief, but they didn't expect her to even collide with the queen.
Princess Changle, who was beside the queen, didn't expect Su Zhiyuan to be so bold, so she hurriedly ran down from the queen's side and pulled Su Zhiyuan's sleeve: "Sister Su, if you don't like it, I like this taste, why don't you give it to me, thank the queen mother for her kindness." ”
As she spoke, she was about to take a piece and put it in her mouth, but Princess Chuhan was anxious, she didn't expect that Princess Changle was so good to Su Zhiyuan that she actually tested the poison herself.
Her face changed instantly, she walked over in one step, snatched the snack before Princess Changle brought it to her mouth, and said: "How can I eat this skill with Sister Changle, since Su Zhiyuan is unwilling to accept it, then forget it." ”
Changle didn't expect her to rob it directly, a girl who has lived in the deep palace since she was a child, even if she is not old, she is not as simple as a little girl outside, she immediately sensed that there might be a problem, so she continued to stretch out her hand: "I said it, Su Zhiyuan doesn't like it, why do you want to take it back?" ”
Situ Chuhan was startled, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he had to pretend to slip his hand and sprinkle all the plates of dim sum on the ground.
"Oh, Sister Changle, I'm really sorry, I'll make it for you next time, I'm really embarrassed this time."
Changle looked at her silently, and then said angrily: "You obviously don't want to give me food, hmph, there is no sincerity at all to apologize, and you have to take back the things you take out!" ”
Saying that, Changle gave Su Zhiyuan a look, and returned to the queen and sat down angrily.
The queen watched this farce from afar, and she didn't mean to stop it, until Princess Changle returned to sit down beside her, and then she smiled and interrupted: "That's it, it's just a plate of electric hearts, tell the imperial chef to add a snack to everyone in a while." ”
"Thank you, Queen." Everyone got up one after another to thank her, Su Zhiyuan was secretly grateful to Princess Changle, if it weren't for her today, I was afraid that it would be really cold.
In the second half of the banquet, the queen got up, which means that everyone should not be rigid and identical, everyone will not have pressure when she leaves, and they can go around and play nearby, which is convenient for everyone's communication, and can also eliminate the estrangement between everyone and Princess Chuhan.
Su Zhiyuan didn't want to stay with them, so he pretended to enjoy the flowers from afar and walked into the garden, but he didn't expect that in the building behind their banquet, the emperor was also feasting a group of nobles and Yue Yinxian in the capital.
When Su Zhiyuan walked over from below, a few people upstairs by the window quietly aimed at her, it was Xia Shurui, who had not seen him for a long time, and a few of his friends.
In fact, at the last reception banquet, Xia Shurui noticed Su Zhiyuan, but the current Su Zhiyuan is completely different from before, Su Zhiyuan in the past would always follow his figure, but now he has been ignoring him, and Xia Shurui found that she is not only ignoring herself now, but she has an extraordinary relationship with King Rui, King Qi and even the crown prince.
Xia Shurui has always felt that Su Zhiyuan is a little interesting except for a face, and the others are not even comparable to the maids in the house, but he didn't expect that now Su Zhiyuan is not only deaf or dumb, but also more and more fascinating.
Seeing that he had been staring at the garden below, the other companions also stretched out their necks to take a look, and then looked at Xia Shurui with a wicked smile: "Xiao Shizi, isn't that your little tail, why hasn't she ignored you recently?" ”
Xia Shurui was said to have broken his mind, and Xiao Shizi, who has always loved face, couldn't hold back a little on his face, and said, "Where, it's just that I don't want to pay attention to her." ”
"That's it!" Everyone smiled tacitly: "But I heard that the concubine has always doted on her, maybe she wants to be a princess for His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
"Eh, Brother Bai, you don't know much, how did I hear that Su Xiang wants to marry the prince?"
Hearing everyone say this, Xia Shurui was a little anxious, just like the feeling that his childhood toy was suddenly going to be snatched away by others one day, not to mention Xia Shurui's character, how could he tolerate this kind of thing if he didn't want to give it to others?
After waiting for a while, the emperor asked the banquet to be withdrawn and everyone was free to move, Xia Shurui ran to the garden to find Su Zhiyuan as soon as possible.
He put out a smile that he thought was very handsome, and approached Su Zhiyuan: "Miss Su, what a coincidence, I can meet you here!" ”
Who knew that Su Zhiyuan looked at him with mentally retarded eyes: "Is it coincidental?" ”
