Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Early April.

Spring is in full swing, and through the carved wooden windows, the afternoon sun is just right, and it is a warm and warm that will not be dazzling even if you look at it directly.

"Miss, the young master has come to take refuge again."

The sound of suppressing the laughter is faint, as if it came from outside the sky, since the defeat of the family, although the cherry blossoms have not been abandoned, but they have not grown old and decayed, and there is almost no smile.

Until the sound of the bead curtain striking each other.

As if she had been woken up, Su Wancai retracted the hand supporting her head, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked up at the door.

"Brother?"

Her voice shuddered unnoticed.

The young man is about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a white robe, wearing a gold crown and a jade belt, but he can't suppress his natural beautiful face, and he has an extraordinary temperament around him, as if he has come to the world.

Unfortunately, this temperament only existed for a moment.

"Sister save me!"

Su Tao grinned, howling like a fat pig selected by a butcher, his facial features were huddled together, he jumped close with his legs, and his beauty was forced to lose seven points.

Jin Yu is ruined on the outside.

Thinking of his previous life, after going to the Houfu to read the holy decree, the old eunuch shook his head and commented on his brother, Su Wan's heart ached, and he couldn't speak.

The two are siblings, their mother died early, and their relationship has always been close, every time Su Tao skips class and is caught and beaten by her father, she will always come to her Yuqing Courtyard to avoid trouble, and today is nothing more than that.

The father's roar rang out outside the courtyard.

"This old horseman!"

Su Tao was so frightened that he trembled, but he refused to suffer in his mouth, rubbed his calves, and said forcefully: "If he hadn't sneaked up first, I would have been able to run around Houfu for another half a lap with just one leg!" ”

The maid in the room laughed.

Although the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, they have a strong Confucian style, attach importance to etiquette and religion, and the female avoidance of their father, Su Jixu, as the Marquis of Wu'an, leads by example and never easily steps into the Yuqing Academy.

Taking advantage of this cheapness, Su Tao escaped a lot of beatings, and every time his sister went out to "settle things" for him.

Today.

It should be no exception, right?

He grinned, revealing two rows of large white teeth, brighter than the sunlight outside the window.

"I'll go and go back, my brother is here, don't move."

Su Juan nodded, and under Su Tao's hopeful gaze, he got up and walked through the outer room with the cherry blossoms and walked into the courtyard outside.

Outside the hospital.

I saw my daughter come out.

Su Jixu stood at the gate of the courtyard, as if he was afraid of scaring her, he took the whip hand back and said with an angry face: "Juan'er, you read your book well, and tell that little rabbit bastard to get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

His title of Marquis of Wu'an is hereditary.

In fact, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is all literary and rude, which can make him angry and rude.

It can be seen that my brother has caused a lot of trouble this time.

What is it?

Su Juan stood in the sun and fell into memories for a while, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall what mistake her brother made this time to make her father so angry?

Compared with the extermination of the family four years later.

The troubles of my youth, the piles and piles add up, and they are all insignificant and trivial.

"Father."

Su Xuan's voice trembled.

As soon as she opened her mouth, tears had already flowed, and her father stood in front of her, her brother was still the son of Houfu, and Cai Ying also followed her steadily.

Four years.

Four years later, the Marquis of Wu'an's government deceived and concealed the subordinates, not only embezzling the disaster relief funds issued by the imperial court, but also indiscriminately lending usury, forcing hundreds of people to commit suicide, which caused the anger of the heavens and the people.

In the end, he was stripped of his title, and the man was given death, and the woman was exiled.

Overnight.

The Su family is ruined, and there are not even branches and leaves left.

She only remembered that her father left a blood book before he died, and asked her to hand it over to the emperor to re-investigate the case and return an innocence to the Marquis of Wu'an.

Rats leave a sinking ship.

She was powerless to support the lintel alone, and she was betrayed and betrayed, and now looking back, it was like a dream.

"Why are you crying?"

Su Jixu was taken aback by her daughter.

Throwing down the whip, he walked over a little helplessly, and suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, my father is not a person who sells his daughter for glory, and he will never be for a false name-"

"I'll marry you to the waste prince!"

Resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Your grandmother has already sent someone to return the token, Zhou Xiuyan understands, if he doesn't understand, I won't let my daughter suffer with him." ”

Also a token?

It turned out to be today!

Su Juan's pupils dilated suddenly, she was the only concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, with a noble status, and Zhou Xiuyan, who was still the prince at the time, could be regarded as a good match, but what she didn't expect was-

Since the death of the former Empress.

Concubine Yao was favored, and even the four princes who were originally concubines also rose, and the mother and son joined forces to take away the position of the crown prince who originally belonged to Zhou Xiuyan.

Of course.

Even those with a discerning eye can see it.

Without the acquiescence of the emperor, Concubine Yao and the four princes would not dare to blatantly attack Zhou Xiuyan, after all, the fall of the first queen's maiden family, and even the death of the first queen, may have the emperor's handiwork.

Such a one has no maternal forces to rely on.

The abolished prince who was rejected by the emperor again, marrying him, not to mention how he will live in the future, whether his life can be saved, is not certain.

The Four Princes are now gaining momentum.

The harem has the help of her biological mother, Concubine Yao, and it is almost a sure thing to become the new emperor one day.

The Hou Mansion of Wu'an had no intention of stammering.

But I don't want to be injured by mistake in the future because of my relationship with the abolished prince Zhou Xiuyan, and the most important thing is that Su Jixu is such a daughter, how can she be willing to send her to the scrapped prince's mansion with a bleak future?

"Father, how long has it been since the person who returned the token has been gone?"

Su Juan asked anxiously.

Su Jixu only thought that her daughter cared about family affairs, and didn't think much about it, so she replied: "It wasn't long after I left, less than half a pillar of incense." ”

It's still too late.

Su Juan breathed a sigh of relief.

I forced myself to stabilize my mind, pretended to be normal, and said, "Father, I will reason with my brother, you can go back first." ”

She is a younger sister though.

On the contrary, his personality is more calm than Su Tao, and the brother and sister are more chatty than his father, Su Jixu nodded, and sighed before leaving: "Wan'er, it's a pity that you were not born as a man." ”

If it's a son.

He had already sent Su Tao to a hundred and eight thousand miles.

After her father left, Su Wan ran to the inner room quickly with her skirt, pulled up Su Tao, who was stealing snacks, and said anxiously: "Brother, don't you usually drill dog holes, I have something urgent and want you to take me out." ”

"How do you know?"

Su Tao's surprised snacks all fell.

Then he scratched his head, it's one thing for him to climb the dog hole, it's another thing to let his sister know, alas, the dignity of being an older brother.

"Take me first!"

Su Qian urged.

The power disputes in the court, her father almost never mentioned it to her, and she didn't understand it, but there was one result that was beyond doubt-

Zhou Xiuyan.

is the last person to ascend the throne as emperor.
