Su Yuxian thought clearly, so she responded humbly: "The concubines are all false names, which makes the mother laugh, as for the marriage contract with His Royal Highness, it is a kindness given by the nobles, but at this time and that time, now the crown princess is a better candidate, this is a wise move by the queen, and I also ask the mother not to mention this matter again, so as not to shame the concubine." ”

Qiu Yulin listened to her answer, her heart was satisfied, and she chuckled and said: "Concubine Su is an understanding person, this palace hopes that you will always be sober-minded, and I hope you can support this palace in the future." ”

Su Yuxian heard Qiu Yulin say that she wanted to support her, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, thinking that she was going to be reused, and the crown princess was trying to win herself over, so she replied: "The concubine remembers it, and she must do her best." ”

Qiu Yulin smiled, and said to Jiang Duyan: "Concubine Jiang, I heard that you were very favored by the prince before, but you are pampered and proud on weekdays, and your reputation as a fox is also spreading, and even the imperial grandson who is already pregnant can't be saved, this palace hopes that you can reflect on your own mistakes." ”

Although talking to Su Yuxian just now implied a sharp edge, fortunately, she could still speak softly, which gave her a little face, but when she treated Jiang Duyan so bluntly, she said that she was not, Su Yuxian's heart was immediately like drinking a bowl of chilled plum soup in June, and she was refreshed.

"Hui Niangniang, the concubine had a miscarriage because someone assassinated, and His Royal Highness found out this person and killed him." Jiang Dui was smoky, and he still wanted to argue.

Qiu Yulin scolded coldly: "If you weren't arrogant, would people treat you as a thorn in their side." What's more, you should be cautious when you are pregnant, and you even let someone cook for you, didn't you hand the opportunity to others? In the end, it's because you're too arrogant. Is there something wrong with what Hongu said? ”

Jiang Duyan also understood that the crown princess was trying to suppress herself clearly, and hurriedly said: "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine doesn't dare anymore." ”

Then, Qiu Yulin changed her face again, helped the two side concubines up personally, and arranged some daily things before letting them go back.

The queen knew about this day, and she was full of praise for Qiu Yulin, she was overly favored by suppressing openly, and those who were not favored were secretly warned, and she was very good at treating Jiang Duyan and Su Yuxian.

Su Yuxian thought that Qiu Yulin really wanted to reuse her, and appeared in front of Qiu Yulin all day long, which made Jiang Duyan secretly hate, but in fact, Qiu Yulin just wanted to pull hatred for her, and her attitude towards her was also ignorant of her, the chamberlain and palace maid of the East Palace knew how to figure out the master's mind better than the subordinates of the Prince's Mansion, and secretly wore a lot of small shoes to Su Yuxian, which made her more sad than her days in the Prince's Mansion.

It is said that the emperor recently remembered Su Sui again, summoned Duanmu Rui into the palace, and asked him to investigate Su Sui's treason with the enemy.

This question confused Duanmu Rui, that time the people petitioned for Su Sui in front of his palace, almost made a big incident, and afterwards he reported this matter on the main hall, at that time there were many ministers who advised the emperor Su Sui to collaborate with the enemy and treason The evidence is insufficient, so don't disobey the people, so as not to disappoint the people, the emperor agreed not to investigate this matter again, why is it asked again now, isn't this turning over old accounts.

He could only pretend to be stupid, "On that day in the main hall, the younger brother thought that the imperial brother meant to expose the matter, so he didn't continue to investigate." It seems that the younger brother was stupid and did not understand the meaning of the imperial brother. ”

The emperor didn't know that he had already expressed his position at that time, he just wanted Su Sui to secretly confirm the treason of Su Sui's collaboration with the enemy, he pretended not to remember, and said to Duanmu Rui: "It's all confused, I forgot about it, but since you have come, start secretly investigating again." ”

Duanmu Rui scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Huang, maybe the younger brother is going to disappoint you, after a while, the eldest girl of the Su family married the prince's side concubine again, Su Sui was robbed of military power, and he was idle in the mansion all day, not going out to socialize, and not seeing guests, and the younger brother really didn't know how to find out." ”

The emperor turned his back and sighed for a long time before saying, "This is a good opportunity for you to practice, no matter what method you use, you must continue to investigate." ”

"Yes, then the younger brother can't give a time limit, so he can only plan slowly."

Su Sui's treason was originally a matter of no need, what could be found, if he really had this crime, he could only frame him, Duanmu Rui could not do such a thing, so he had to plan to delay time indefinitely.

The Emperor pondered for a moment before he said, "It must not be too long, and at last I must see the evidence of his treason against the enemy." ”

"Yes, Brother Huang." Duanmu Rui retreated depressedly, but he had already made up his mind that he would not check.

On this day, Su Wanyan and Lingxiu returned home from outside, and met a dejected little guy at the door, almost bumping into Su Wanyan, Lingxiu scolded, the man raised his head, and Lingxiu recognized it as Su Sui's personal follower at a glance, so he told Su Wanyan.

Su Wanyan stopped him, thinking that he had encountered something difficult, so he asked, but he said that the master had been in a depressed mood recently, and they didn't know how to persuade them, and they were afraid that the old man would be depressed and have problems.

After dinner, Su Wanyan asked Lingxiu to carry the lantern and go to the front yard to find Su Sui.

At this time, it was still early, Su Sui was still in the study, and the little maid guarding the door saw Su Wanyan and immediately went in to report, and Su Sui followed to the door to greet him.

After entering the door, Su Wanyan said bluntly: "Father, what is the trouble you are encountering, your daughter can hear your sigh when she passes under the window." ”

Su Sui said and sighed, "I have no real power now, just sit at home, but unfortunately many of my old departments are loyal and talented people, who followed me into battle to kill the enemy and made a lot of contributions, but I recently learned that they were suppressed by those villains in the court, so that they suffered a lot of grievances, I wanted to seek justice for them, but I was ridiculed, saying that I had access to foreign countries, and now I have no military power, like a lost dog, I am not worthy of talking to them at all." ”

Su Wanyan was very shocked, no matter what Su Sui said, he was also in the name of the general of Zhenguo, how could these people humiliate him so much.

Su Sui waved his hand, "I, as a father, couldn't say this in front of my daughter, which made everyone feel that their faces were gloomy, and I lost my words." ”

"How can a father say such a thing, and if you don't say it, how can your daughter know about these grievances you have suffered."

Su Wanyan explained him a few more words, "Father, don't think too much, the imperial court is now withering, and the border passes are always unstable, when they always use their father, then my father will definitely regain the emperor's attention." ”

Su Sui said wistfully: "I hope so, but as long as there is war, it is the people who suffer." ”

Su Wanyan comforted Su Sui and wanted to open up, "Father is cultivating at home, and my daughter will find a way to help you find out what the situation of your subordinates is now." ”

The next day, Su Wanyan asked the people under her to go out to investigate, there are not a few people like Jiang Duyan's father, many of them have already turned to others, and the remaining ones are not taken seriously, most of them have lost their positions and are the lowest soldiers in the army.

She didn't dare to tell Su Sui about these things, so she wanted to help Su Sui regain the military power, but this is not easy, the military power is now controlled by the emperor, and it is definitely not possible to use legitimate methods, so she can only rely on surprise and tricks to start from the side.

In the dead of night, the maids let her go, she was writing and drawing on the bookcase alone, while thinking about how to deploy, the window suddenly shook, and there was one more person in the room, Duanmu Rui was already standing beside her.

"Why are you here again?" Su Wanyan put down her pen and disagreed with him every time he suddenly appeared.

"You don't welcome this king?" Duanmu Rui looked at the things she had just written, and saw that the paintings on them were either turtles or flowers, as well as puppies and kittens, all of which looked very cute.

"Don't look." Su Wanyan hurriedly hid her masterpiece.

"This king thinks that you are writing some secret letters and painting some heirlooms without sleeping late at night, but the result is that you are painting these." Duanmu Rui smiled again after speaking, "But it's quite cute." ”

Su Wanyan's face flushed, and she didn't respond to him, but she sighed.

"What are you sighing for?" Duanmu Rui stretched out his finger and swiped it across his forehead, "Let this king think about it, well, recently, the Surprise Word Hall has repeatedly contacted some people in the army, and this king thinks that you are trying to find out something for your father." ”

"Everything can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of the prince." Su Wanyan scoffed.

"Are you inquiring about your father's men, then?" Duanmu Rui approached her with a smug smile.

Su Wanyan took a step to the side and said, "So what?" ”

"This is all because General Su has lost his military power, and if he wants to change, he can only regain his military power." Duanmu Rui's words were sonorous and powerful, and he seemed to be indignant because of this incident.

This is the same as Su Wanyan thought, "But it's not easy to regain military power." ”

"As long as you cooperate with this king, this king will help you." Duanmu Rui had a confident smile on his face, and he was sure that Su Wanyan's predicament could only be solved by him.

Su Wanyan thought about it and was a little tempted, before she let her forces avoid the imperial court as much as possible, but it was not enough to regain military power by relying on the Jianghu sect of Surprise Yantang, Duanmu Rui knew everything about the court, he must know what to do.

She groaned and asked, "What do you want to work with?" ”

"This king has long shown his appreciation for the Amazing Word Hall, and now that it is even stronger, he naturally wants to cooperate with the Amazing Word Hall."

Su Wanyan had already guessed that he would say this, and asked again: "How to cooperate?" ”

"This king thinks that these details need to be reconsidered, do you want to say yes or not?"

Su Wanyan nodded, "Yes, I promise, but like you said, the details of the cooperation need to be discussed again." ”

"Okay, deal."

The organization of Amarant Hall and Duanmu Rui united, and the two sides communicated with each other and became stronger.

It didn't take long for the emperor to say that the small southern country of Nanyuan wanted to send their princess Shuya to come to make peace and make good friends between the two countries.

The ministers offered advice, and some people said that it was okay to get married, but it was necessary to negotiate and sign a pact that they would never invade the border, but this was only a good wish.

The emperor listened to everyone's discussion, and said loudly: "It seems that the Aiqing attach great importance to this matter, about the terms of the contract, they have to wait for someone to come before they can discuss, the princess and the envoys are only a hundred miles away from Beijing, and the most important thing at the moment is to choose someone to greet them, so as to reflect the demeanor of our great country." ”

The ministers are not easy to talk about this time, the relationship between this candidate is not big or small, but it is more subtle, it is best to be a royal child, in order to show the importance of other countries, but I am afraid that some misunderstandings will occur, the recent Su Sui treason is the best example, it does not matter whether the matter exists or not, the key is whether the emperor believes you or not.

Seeing that everyone didn't have any suggestions, the emperor looked at Duanmu Rui, who was standing in the first row, and said, "How about leaving this matter to my imperial brother?" ”

The ministers wanted to talk about him, but they didn't dare to recommend it, and when they saw the emperor speak, everyone hurriedly agreed, and Duanmu Rui also accepted this will, and immediately withdrew from the main hall and prepared to go.

In the afternoon of the next day, he met the people of Nanyuan Kingdom fifty miles away from Beijing.

Princess Shuya, dressed in the costume of their country, dressed in a white shirt, with her long hair braided into a thick braid and draped behind her back, wore a long hat, and got down from the carriage with the support of the maids, and led the envoys to greet Duanmu Rui.

Although the princess can't see her appearance clearly, she has a slender figure and an elegant and light posture, so she should be a rare beauty. She peeked at Duanmu Rui from behind the veil, and saw that he was tall and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing, and his own chic and uninhibited demeanor, she secretly pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

After a short rest, they continued to rush to the capital, but somehow, one of the horses in the frame of Princess Shuya was startled, and let out a long neigh, as if it was in pain, and then ran wildly, and the other horse was also frightened, and they all ran wildly together.
