After Duanmu Rui left, Su Sui said to Su Wanyan: "You have heard it, I was just treated coldly by the emperor, and he wanted to lure me into the bait." ”

Su Wanyan said with a smile: "Father, the prince is luring you into the bait, trying to win you over, you don't have to deliberately say this to your daughter, your daughter understands." ”

Su Sui smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, it's not early, you go back to rest early." ”

"The daughter thinks that her father can consider Duanmu Rui's proposal, but as he said, there is no hurry, and he will be examined first before making a decision."

Su Wanyan finished saying this before leaving, leaving Su Sui to sit down in front of the bookcase and think for a long time.

The next afternoon, the emperor summoned Duanmu Rui, he hadn't seen it for a long time, he saw that Duanmu Rui had returned to his usual healthy and handsome appearance, only to find out that he thought Duanmu Rui was poisoned, he ignored him during this time, and rarely let people inquire about him, and before he knew it, he was already well, he was suspicious, could it be that Duanmu Rui had found the antidote, or he was not poisoned at all?

He pretended to be concerned and asked Duanmu Rui, "The emperor's body and bones look much better than before, and it seems that he has been cultivating very well in the mansion recently." ”

"Thank you for your concern, my brother is much better now, and the symptoms of weakness some time ago have also healed." Duanmu Rui's gaze swept over the emperor's deep eyes, pretending not to know anything.

The emperor walked up to Duanmu Rui with his hands in his hands, "That's good, congratulations." I have summoned you today to give you an important matter. ”

Duanmu Rui looked flattered, and hurriedly said: "The imperial brother can hand over important matters to the younger brother, which is the trust of the younger brother, but the younger brother is afraid that it will be difficult for the younger brother to take on the heavy responsibility, so please think twice." ”

"I know that people are good at their duties, so they will naturally be arranged according to the ability of my subordinates, so you don't have to worry."

Duanmu Rui knew that it was impossible for the emperor to hand over important matters to him, and he must have let himself carry the black pot.

"Recently, General Su's affair with foreign countries has been in an uproar, you should have heard about it, right?"

As soon as Duanmu Rui heard the emperor mention this matter, he basically understood what he wanted to do, and said cautiously: "I heard a few words from people outside, the younger brother was really hidden by him in the military camp at the beginning, if he had noticed it at that time, the younger brother would have reported it to the imperial brother a long time ago." ”

The Emperor snorted coldly, "He is so cunning, how can he let you find out so easily." What I told you is related to this matter, I ordered you to investigate thoroughly at this time, it is very simple, no matter what is found or not, Su Sui's guilt will not escape, do you understand? ”

Duanmu Rui pretended to think for a moment before he said timidly: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen understands, that is, he wants to confirm the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so that he is irrefutable." ”

The Emperor laughed twice, "Yes, that's what it means. Now that you understand, do it well, don't live up to my expectations, and I will give you a credit when the time comes. ”

Duanmu Rui lowered his head, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he gave him a credit, which obviously means that the emperor didn't want to offend Su Sui, and he didn't want the ministers to feel that he had wronged the hero and was cold, so he handed over this matter to him.

"What the royal brother handed over to his younger brother, the younger brother must do it with all his heart."

After two days, Duanmu Rui still dragged on and didn't do anything, and the news that he wanted to thoroughly investigate Su Sui's collaboration with the enemy and treason spread all over the streets and alleys, he knew that this must be the emperor's secret operation, and when the matter was done, he naturally became a traitorous villain who framed Zhongliang.

When he finished his meal and changed his clothes, he was about to go out, when the housekeeper came to report to him, saying that there were many people gathered outside the house, and there was no commotion.

When he reached the door, he saw the people making a noise, and he motioned to the steward to keep them quiet, but the people did not expect him to come out in person, so they immediately stopped.

The guards surrounded the people and tried to drive them away, but Duanmu Rui stopped them and said to the people, "Whatever you want to say, elect a representative so that I can hear more clearly." ”

Everyone shouted the name of an old man in front of him, and the old man stroked his beard and said: "We are all here for the affairs of General Su, I heard that the prince wants to investigate this matter, and the people do not believe that the general will collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and they all want the prince to give the general justice." ”

"Yes, if it weren't for General Su's courage and defeat of the Huns, our common people would have to live a frightened life all day long, not to mention how much more taxes we have to pay, and now everyone can live a stable and prosperous life, it is all the credit of General Su, how can we wronged him in turn?"

"Yes, General Su is loyal, what's wrong with this world, loyal and good people will be unlucky, those traitorous ministers, don't do anything for the people, but can still be added to the ranks. Lord Wang, we also trust you, you must help General Su clear his name. ”

The more the people talked, the more excited they became, and no matter who they were facing, there were some things that they couldn't say, and they couldn't think about it at all.

The people were excited, and more and more people gathered at the gate of the house, and they could still talk well at first, but when there were more people, you said a word to me, and finally pointed the finger at Duanmu Rui.

"The prince must listen to the emperor, what's the use of you telling him, he can't listen to you."

"Don't talk nonsense, the prince is wise, and he will definitely be able to call the shots for the general."

"The prince is also a member of the royal family, they are all in the same spirit, what's the use of you coming here to make trouble."

When the guards saw that the people were getting more and more excessive, they shouted loudly, and tried to drive them away with weapons, and some of the people scolded when they were not satisfied, and for a time there was chaos at the door, and some could not control the situation.

Duanmu Rui's words didn't work, he could only ask the guards not to hurt the people.

The housekeeper said to Duanmu Rui: "Lord Wang, it's better to go inside and hide, it is because the Lord is here that they know that the Lord will not do anything to them, so they dare to be unscrupulous." ”

Duanmu Rui was thinking of a way, when she saw a slender figure in a blue dress squeezing out of the crowd, the guards blocked her, she jumped and waved her hand up, Duanmu Rui walked down and let the guards let her in.

It was Su Wanyan who came, she passed by this neighborhood and heard that the people in the market said that there were people making trouble at the gate of the palace, so she came to take a look.

"Lord Wang, if you go on like this, you will definitely hurt people in the end, not to mention that the guards are holding weapons, even if they step on each other, something will happen." Su Wanyan said anxiously.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "They think that the prince will not help General Su, they are emotional, as soon as the prince speaks, they will make more trouble, if the girl has a way, hurry up and help solve the siege." ”

After hearing this, Su Wanyan cleared her throat and said, "Everyone be quiet, please don't crowd anymore." ”

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, especially outstanding in a noisy and numb environment, everyone hears it, and there is a tendency to stop.

Su Wanyan continued: "I am the young lady of the General's Mansion......"

As soon as she said this, there was another commotion below.

"What, she said she was a young lady from the General's Mansion."

"That's what she said, I don't know if it's or not."

Duanmu Rui said loudly: "You don't have to doubt that she is indeed General Su's daughter-in-law. ”

The people watched Su Wanyan gradually stop the noise.

Su Wanyan said again: "The prince has spent several months at the border with the little girl's father, and the little girl also has some friendship with the prince, he will definitely handle this matter impartially, everyone rest assured." ”

The prince once went to the border with Su Sui for half a year, and many people knew about it.

The people whispered again, and the old man just now spoke again: "We are making noise here, please forgive me for colliding with the prince, and the prince is also quite tolerant of us." When we heard that the general had been framed, we were very angry, how could the hearts of the people in this world be like this, and we could treat the generals with great military achievements like this, let alone these little people. For the sake of the general's reputation, I am willing to spray blood on the spot to prove my heart. ”

As he spoke, he was about to hit the spear in the guard's hand, but fortunately, the guard was sensitive and gave way to the old man, and the person next to him also helped the old man.

Another young man who looked like a scholar said, "Yes, so do we, but I feel that I am not angry in my heart, and I ask the prince to state our feelings to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

After saying this, there was a burst of echo, and the emotions of the people reached a peak.

Duanmu Rui took the opportunity to say: "Your feelings are understood by the king, and they will be conveyed to the emperor, please rest assured." ”

Su Wanyan also spoke: "Don't worry. The prince doesn't want to see you hurt, so please go back. ”

If the trouble continues, it may attract the Black Armor Soldiers, and it is estimated that these people will be arrested at that time.

The guards also helped evacuate the crowd, and after a while, calm was restored in front of the palace.

When he went to court the next day, Duanmu Rui told the people about the trouble they had made in front of the palace in front of the emperor and ministers in the main hall yesterday.

No one wants to see the people rioting, making a storm in the city, and the people are uneasy, and those ministers who have been going to Su Sui take this opportunity to hurry up and say good things for Su Sui, the emperor is angry and hateful, but thinking that the military power has been withdrawn and has been assigned to his cronies, his goal has been achieved, and Su Sui is a rare general, and it is a pity to kill it, and Su Sui has to give up on the matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

After the matter subsided, it didn't take long for the palace to spread the news that the queen mother was seriously ill, and the ladies of those noble families who could be ranked in the capital were all led by the queen to go to the Huguo Temple on the outskirts of the city to pray for the queen mother.

For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of the mountain gate of Huguo Temple, and all the monks retreated, and soon the girls and ladies walked through the main hall to the backyard.

Because it was to pray for the Queen Mother, not to play, everyone was almost silent, but those who moved in and out did not stop until the evening.

The queen took the grandmother and the palace maid to inspect, and saw that everyone was orderly, quiet and solemn, only Su Yuxian shook the handkerchief and directed the maid to move things, and asked people to find a bronze mirror for her and look at her appearance in the mirror.

The girls and ladies are all pampered and raised in their own mansions, many of them are like this, and they make the maids around, and they don't forget to bring out the style in the house, and there are more excessive than Su Yuxian, but the queen just can't get used to Su Yuxian.

She gestured to Mama, Mama understood, walked in front of Su Yuxian and saluted, and said in a serious voice: "Miss Su family, we are here to pray for the Queen Mother, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers here, put away your young ladies and be a little more restrained, otherwise it will seem that you are not sincere enough, and the body of the Queen Mother is still pointing at everyone." ”

Su Yuxian naturally knew that she was the queen's grandmother, and the queen was watching from the edge of the courtyard, she was so embarrassed that her face was flushed for a while, and she must have buttoned down her big hat, she felt frightened, and quickly asked the maid to put away the bronze mirror, and looked around again, everyone looked at her, and she was even more heartbroken.

"Mama, I don't know the rules, thank you Mama for her teachings, I will be cautious and dignified in the future, and do my best for the body of the Queen Mother."

Seeing that her attitude was not bad, and that she had given her face in front of so many people, she had taught her a big lesson, so she snorted coldly, said "I hope so", and walked quickly to the queen's side.
