Doctor Gao's chubby old face was full of helplessness, he was hiding in the corner of the banquet and listening to a few colleagues discussing gossip, but he didn't expect to be pulled by Chu Huai'an with a black face to treat Su Li's injuries halfway.

didn't see anyone, just looking at Chu Huai'an's murderous appearance, he thought that he had seen the wrong illness before, Su Li was poisoned and died, and he was scared and uneasy.

When I came, I found that Su Li was sitting in the room, but there was a two-inch-long wound on her wrist, which was wrapped in a silk handkerchief, but it was still bleeding out.

"Miss Su, what's there to think about...... Slit your wrists? ”

Doctor Gao asked in surprise, and was patted on the back of the head by Chu Huai'an: "You can't think of cutting your wrists, and you don't want to stop the bleeding quickly!" ”

Untied the silk handkerchief and looked closely, although the wound was a little deep, fortunately it did not hurt the important muscles and veins, and the blood did not stop, but there was no major problem.

After taking the medicine seriously and bandaging it, Dr. Gao wrapped a few packets of medicinal powder and put them on the table next to him, and gently advised: "Remember not to get the wound wet for the past two days, take these medicines and change them every two days." ”

After telling him, no one answered him, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly slipped away with the medicine box.

As soon as the people left, the temple fell silent.

Chu Huai'an stood on the side of the bed with his hands on his chest and looked at Su Li directly, his face was cold and stiff, and he looked like he wanted to ask the teacher for guilt.

Su Li didn't dare to look at him, and looked down at the sleeve that was torn by the arrow, feeling pity.

After a long time, the man spoke in a deep voice: "Who told you to probe your brain in the shooting range?" Want to die? ”

The corruption of military salaries has not yet been resolved, how could she want to die?

Su Li shook his head, knowing that this person was angry, so he could only soften his voice: "Today, An Zhuwei is clearly staring at me deliberately to find fault, after I fell, I became a dead target, if I don't identify myself as soon as possible, if he wants to shoot me with an arrow through the target shell, and blame the fault to the Internal Affairs Office and say that the target shell is not doing well or that he just missed, he will not be punished in any way." ”

Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative and take the initiative into your own hands.

In doing so, Su Li thought that there was nothing wrong with her, even if Chu Huai'an wanted to find An Jue's stubble later, it was still reasonable and well-founded, and it would not appear to be unreasonable.

It was so urgent, she tried to take everything into consideration, but she didn't care about this person's face and self-esteem.

Chu Huai'an leaned closer, with anger in his eyes: "In your eyes, is the master dead?" Will you watch him find your fault? ”

"I'm afraid that Master Hou will be difficult to do."

Su Li looked at him and replied, her eyes full of sincerity.

Chu Huai's blood was surging in peace of mind, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it.

Not only did Su Li have no desire to hide behind him and seek refuge, but also because of the words on the school field that told him not to act any more.

Everything he did for this little thing turned out to be acting in her eyes? Is he a little white face in the troupe? Need to spend so much energy acting with her?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Chu Huaian couldn't help asking: "In the school field, why do you say that your master is acting?" What is wrong with you? If you didn't have a master, you would have died in the prison of Dali Temple by now, and if you didn't have a master, you would have accompanied the autumn queen surnamed Lu to ask for beheading! ”

He said everything reasonably, and now in the palace, Su Li can't argue too much with him, so he softened his attitude and regressed: "What Master Hou said is that Fang is my speech." ”

Punching the cotton again, Chu Huai'an couldn't help sneering, sure enough, it was a good apprentice taught by Gu Yuanfeng, and the tricks to make people eat and block were the same.

With a sinister smile on his face, his blade-like gaze scraped on Su Li's face inch by inch: "Since it is a gaffe, don't say it in front of the master in the future, otherwise the master will hear it once and bite you once!" ”

“…… Be! ”

Su Li nodded in agreement, only to feel that when this person said 'bite', his tone was very ruthless, and he had ulterior motives, which made her back cold, and she had a faint bad premonition.

Because Su Li was injured, Chu Huai'an did not participate in the later competitions, and accompanied Su Li to rest in the queen mother's side hall, and not long after, a palace man trotted into the palace.

"Lord Qiqi, today's martial arts test has ended, An Zhuwei won the crown, and Zhao Vice Wei under his command also performed well, and His Majesty has given a lot of rewards."

An Jue won the first place, Su Li didn't feel anything, but she was a little surprised that Zhao Qi could stand out, when she saw Zhao Qi five years ago, he didn't have any martial arts talent.

"Humph! He's got a face! ”

Chu Huai'an sneered, quite disdainful of the result of An Jue winning the championship, the palace people laughed together, took out a piece of ink jade from his sleeve pocket and offered: "Master Hou, this is the ink jade you want." ”

Chu Huai'an stretched out his hand to take it, took a few gold leaves at random and sent the person away: "Okay, go down!" ”

The palace people bowed and retreated, and Chu Huai'an threw the piece of black jade around and played with it, without the slightest intention of giving it to Su Li, and Su Li's eyes moved up and down with the black jade.

"Don't want it anymore?"

"Yes."

Su Li replied frankly, and the next moment, the cool ink jade fell into his hand, and Chu Huai'an looked serious: "If you want anything, just say it, and the master wants to be bold when he shoots at his own people!" ”

He said with a high spirit, as if no matter what Su Li wanted, he would be satisfied.

Su Li clenched the Moyu, he didn't expect him to give the Moyu to himself so easily, and said sincerely: "Master Xie!" ”

After saying nothing, not long after, night fell, all the palace lamps were lit, and someone from the palace came to report: "Master Hou, the palace banquet is about to start in half an hour." ”

"Got it."

After saying that, he waved his hand, but the palace people did not leave, and said: "Miss Su's clothes are broken, and Concubine An Guifei specially ordered someone to send new clothes." ”

An Jue shot Su Li with an arrow on her front foot, almost killing her, and An Guifei intimately sent clothes to make amends, but she was very good at being a person.

"What clothes? Take it in and take a look? ”

The words fell, the three palace maids came in with the tray, the clothes on the tray were very luxurious, the lined dress was a moon-white cloud brocade, without any fancy, refracted by the candlelight, Ambilight, the outer robe was a garnet-red cloud brocade, embroidered with lifelike begonia flowers with colored threads, the maid just came with the clothes, but the flowers seemed to bloom vividly.

This dress is much more luxurious and high-profile than the one given by the Queen Mother, it stands to reason that Su Li, a new widow, should not wear such a high-profile dress, but Chu Huai'an was very satisfied at first glance, and took the clothes with a wave of his hand, and asked the palace maid to help Su Li change into makeup.

When changing clothes, the palace maid was surprised to see that Su Li's skin was worn out in many places, and when she saw Su Li's calm face, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.

After changing her clothes, Su Li asked the palace maid to help her comb a simple woman's hair bun, she didn't have any expensive jewelry, only the white hosta that Su Bangyue gave her before, and after thinking about it, she put it on her head again.

There is no hair ornament on the side, and the white hosta bun is particularly eye-catching in the black hair, which makes her black hair like ink, and it is also more dazzling white jade.

Coming out of the hall, Chu Huai'an happened to change his clothes and came over.

He changed into a navy blue dress, with dark patterns of pythons intertwined with black threads and silver threads on the cuffs, and a unicorn auspicious embroidered with colored threads on his chest and hem, which lined his jade face like the wind, handsome and unparalleled.

He was standing lazily at the door with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Su Li coming out, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but straighten his back, standing quite loose, inexplicably a little more solemn, and watched the man walk towards him step by step with full eyes, and his pink cheeks were like blooming stamens, floating into his heart for a burst of crisp.

As he approached, a faint carmine scent poured into the tip of his nose with softness.

Chu Huai'an has smelled this fat powder taste countless times in Lanyue Pavilion, but the smell of others is always kitsch, but now when he smells Su Li, he only feels soft and attractive, especially the vermilion lips, which are so red and glamorous that people can't take their eyes off.

Just as he could see it, Su Li looked up at him, and asked a little helplessly: "Master Hou, this makeup seems to be too gorgeous, if it is ......?"

Before the words fell, his fingertips pressed against her lips before consciousness, and Su Li's eyes widened, frightened, like some kind of non-aggressive little animal.

Chu Huai'an saw that his throat tightened, and his rough fingertips lost his proportion, and he rubbed it hard from Su Li's lips, revealing her original lip color, and her fingertips were dyed red.

"Just wipe this off."

He said calmly, turning around to suppress the throbbing in his heart, but the fingertips hanging in his sleeves were like fire, and the burning sensation could not subside for a long time.

Su Li's lips were rubbed by him so hot that it hurt a little, but she didn't dare to say anything, and while walking behind him, she wiped off the rouge on her lips with a silk handkerchief.

All the way to the palace banquet, there were already many ministers sitting in the palace, Chu Huai'an had just approached, and the palace people had already announced loudly: "The Marquis of Xiaoyao has arrived!" ”

When the words fell, the originally noisy crowd looked towards the door, Chu Huai'an was used to seeing this scene, and led Su Li into it leisurely.

The lights in the hall were much brighter than outside, and everyone was first amazed by Su Li's colorful clothes, and then amazed by her appearance.

Although Su Li was in the limelight before, because of the distance, everyone didn't see her appearance too carefully, and she was dressed plainly at that time, and she was not well-dressed, so she didn't attract much attention.

The three daughters of the Su family, who used to be in the limelight in Beijing, made a marriage contract with the prince at the age of ten when the concubine Su Wanyue was ten years old, the female red is a must in Beijing, and the second daughter Su Zhaoyue has a gentle personality, and is very good at music and rhythm has a song that moves the world, and the talents of the two have their own merits, but their appearance is one of the best on the list of Kyoto beauties.

Miss Su San is slightly younger than the first two, at the age of ten, she entered Gu Yuanfeng's door, and at the age of fifteen, she disguised herself as a man and became a female tanhua and was famous in the Far Zhao Kingdom.

Now that they saw it with their own eyes, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a while, it turned out that the rumors were not necessarily false.

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Li directly, and Su Li was very unaccustomed to it.

In the past five years at the border, she usually wears coarse linen clothes as a man, and there are almost no serious women's dresses, but now she is dressed like this, and when she feels those eyes, she has the illusion of being maliciously peeped at.

Forced to walk to the seat and sit down, with the low table to cover it, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as she relaxed, she saw Gu Yuanfeng sitting a little further back and raised a glass to her, as if to comfort her not to be nervous.

My heart was slightly warm, and I was about to respond, but my cheek was pinched, my head was forcibly twisted to the side, and a winter date was stuffed into my mouth.

"Sit beside the master, don't roll your eyes, dare to recruit people under the nose of the master, and the master has a way to cure you!"

“……”

With something stuffed in her mouth and unable to speak, Su Li could only blink her eyes to show that she knew, and got a satisfactory answer, Chu Huai'an let go of his hand, his fingertips were still a little greedy for the tender touch, and he was savoring, there was a heroic laughter in his ears, and he turned his head to look, An Jue was chatting and laughing with a few people, and he was very happy.

Scold......

Chu Huai'an sneered in his heart, and the tip of his tongue swept around his back molars.

He is a person who holds a grudge, and he will always let this An Zhuwei know how the reputation of the Marquis of Xiaoyao will be repaid spread.

After sitting for a while, the palace people reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Su Guifei, and An Guifei have arrived!" ”

The words fell, Chu Lingzhao hugged Su Bangyue, An Ruolan helped the Queen Mother walk in one after the other, Chu Lingzhao and the Queen Mother were still wearing the afternoon clothes, Su Bangyue and An Ruolan had changed into new palace clothes, Su Bangyue was dressed in light blue, An Ruolan was dressed in pink, the two of them were red and blue, but they were very harmonious and good-looking.

Chu Lingzhao and the Queen Mother sat in the first place, Su Bangyue and An Ruolan sat next to them on the left and right, from the perspective of position arrangement, Su Bangyue and Chu Lingzhao's positions were closer, and they were naturally more favored by the emperor.

It's just that there is only a lonely Shangshu Mansion behind her, which is not as confident as An Ruolan has the support of the entire An family and the Queen Mother.

The four of them sat down, Chu Lingzhao said a few words, and the palace banquet began quickly, and the carefully rehearsed program of the Si Music Bureau began.

The sound of silk and bamboo was in her ears, Su Li subconsciously looked for Su Zhaoyue's figure during the banquet, in the past, the sound of the second sister's piano was always indispensable on such occasions.

However, after looking around, other ministers brought their families into the palace, but Jing Zhaoyin came to the banquet alone because of Zhang Ling's matter.

Su Li was worried about whether Su Zhaoyue's situation in the house had really improved, and after a song and dance performance, An Jue stood up with a wine glass again.

The palace banquet used the best white jade cups, which looked very good in his hand, he raised the cup, looked at Su Li from a distance, and said loudly: "Miss Su, today is the lower official's archery skills are not good, and I accidentally injured you, and now in front of the civil and military officials, the lower official respects Miss Su with a cup, which is regarded as making amends!" ”

He is the master of the hall, an official from the fifth grade, and the young master of the An family, obviously apologizing to Su Li, but in fact, he pushed her to the forefront again.

How can she, a person who has been removed from the Su family tree, afford An Jue's glass of wine?

Everyone waited to see how Su Li should respond, and after waiting for a while, Su Li didn't react, and they all stretched their necks to look, but saw Su Li's eyes blinking, but it was Ai Ai's crying.

At first, she just burst into silent tears, and when she cried back, she sobbed uncontrollably, and even her thin shoulders trembled.

She cried so sadly, as if she had been greatly wronged, so that those who saw it couldn't help but feel distressed.

No matter how crazy An Jue is, after all, he is also a seven-foot man, and he likes the delicate woman like water, at this time, when he saw Su Li crying with pear blossoms and rain, he unconsciously softened his heart, and couldn't help but say: "You ...... What are you crying about? ”

Su Li didn't answer, bit her lip and forced her tears back, and looked at An Jue with a pair of watery eyes: "An Zhuwei's status is noble, and the people's daughter can survive today, it is already An Zhuwei's subordinates who are merciful, and the people's daughter can't afford An Zhuwei's cup of wine, so she should punish herself with three cups to make amends to An Zhuwei!" ”

Her voice was soft, but her words were very clear and full of energy, so that everyone present could hear what she was saying.

Just now An Jue said that he injured Su Li by mistake, but Su Li now said that he was able to survive because of An Jue's mercy, and after speaking, he didn't give An Jue a chance to refute, and raised his head and drank three glasses of wine.

"Please have a lot of Lord Wei, don't worry about the little girl in the future!"

Su Li begged, put down the cup, the tears on her face were not gone, but her eyes were firm, and she vividly interpreted the image of a weak woman who had suffered a lot of difficulties but was indomitable.

An Jue didn't expect Su Li to beat herself so quickly, and just about to argue, Gu Yuanfeng had already calmly spoke: "An Zhuwei, although Miss Su is no longer a student of Xiaguan, she can be regarded as a Xiaguan who grew up, no matter what she has done to make you unhappy, I am afraid that you will lose your identity if you hold her so much as a weak woman, right?" ”

When everyone heard the words, they turned their heads to each other, and after thinking about it, An Jue seemed to have been targeting Su Li today.

Su Li has been away from Beijing for five years, and she has only been back in Beijing for a few days, how can she have any deep hatred with An Jue? Thinking of the painting book that An Jue said before, it is easy for everyone to think of the drama often staged in the theater garden where the bully and the powerful force force the good to become a prostitute.

I didn't expect An Zhuwei to be such a person!

Everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Su Li's gaze, An Jue hadn't noticed the sudden change in wind direction, An Ruolan had already taken a step forward: "An Jue ......"

An Ruolan wanted to stop An Jue, lest he break a good hand, but heard Chu Huai'an say faintly: "An Zhuwei hurt Ben Hou's people, Ben Hou is sitting here without breath or what?" Can't An Zhuwei see Ben Hou in his eyes? ”

As soon as these words came out, An Jue's toasting immediately became sinister, and he crossed Chu Huai'an and toasted Su Li directly, which was clearly unjustifiable.

Chu Huai'an is the least aware of these rules, An Jue thinks that he has no form, but he doesn't want him to understand these rules very clearly, although he does not follow the rules.

An Jue was so blocked that he was speechless, and the joy of winning the previous martial arts test was also diluted, seeing that he did not refute Su Li's words, An Ruolan couldn't help but get angry and raised his voice: "An Jue! Don't kneel down and apologize to Hou Ye! Your unintentional mistake almost cost the life of Master Hou's sweetheart! ”

An Ruolan deliberately emphasized that An Jue was just an unintentional mistake, An Jue couldn't pull her face down with her neck stalked, Su Wanyue said softly: "Why is my sister so angry, Ah Li has not been seriously injured, An Zhuwei should not embarrass her in the future." ”

Su Wanyue said this very generously, on the surface she asked An Ruolan not to scold An Jue, but the implication was that she agreed with Su Li's previous words that An Jue deliberately found fault.

An Ruolan was angry, and Chu Lingzhao said softly: "Since Concubine Ai doesn't want to pursue it, this matter will be stopped." ”

These words clearly stood on Su Bangyue, this matter was turned over today, but if the old accounts are turned over in the future, An Jue is the one who once tried to murder Xiaoyaohou!

An Ruolan was angry, but at this time, she couldn't make Chu Huai'an unhappy with this matter, so she could only say with a smile: "Thank you sister for being magnanimous, sister will let someone send some things to Miss Su San as compensation in a while!" ”

It is very common in the palace to be slapped and accompanied by a smiling face, but An Ruolan couldn't bear An Jue, he didn't understand the twists and turns, he only knew that An Ruolan suddenly remembered Su Li in his heart because he suffered a loss.

Su Li sat upright, ignoring An Jue at all, and raised her hand to pick up the wine jug to help Chu Huai'an pour wine.

The cup was full, and Chu Huaian raised his hand to press her wrist: "It doesn't hurt?" ”

The gauze on her wrist was faint crimson again, she shook her head, Chu Huaian didn't let go, and asked again: "You also turned over this matter?" ”

She was the one who was hurt, and she was also the one who was targeted in various ways, and she didn't say anything yet, and others helped her turn over the matter in a few sentences, what kind of truth is this?

Chu Huai'an asked casually, Su Li raised her eyes and looked at him, seeing that his expression was unruly, she didn't know what she would do, and replied in a low voice: "The left and right are not serious injuries, don't make trouble for the eldest sister." ”

This is what Su Wanyue just said to An Ruolan, and she repeated it again.

Chu Huai'an was a little annoyed, what does it mean to be not seriously injured? At that time, if there was a little more difference, it was a question of whether she could sit here and catch her breath!

Besides, this little thing is his person, and no amount of trouble will be added to his head, when will it be added to that person?

Chu Huai was dissatisfied, but he still let go of Su Li's hand.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not good to see the blood, and it is not good to make things too big with An Jia as a backer, it is better to end the palace banquet in a while, and find someone to beat An Jue first to relieve his anger.

After this turmoil, the palace banquet continued, and the singing and dancing performances became more and more exciting, but everyone's focus was no longer on these performances, and the relationship between An Jue and Su Li was all that they talked about.

There were no more accidents at the banquet after that, and when everyone was full of wine and food, the palace people withdrew the meal and served hot tea and desserts.

An Jue won the first place in the afternoon martial arts test, Chu Lingzhao rewarded him, and then rewarded the ministers with outstanding political achievements this year, and after a while, the palace people called Su Li with the holy decree.

"The third lady of Shangshu Mansion, Su Li, obeys the order!"

Su Li got up and walked to the hall and knelt down, she was in a hurry, Chu Huaian wanted to hold her and say a few words, but before she could do so, her fingertips brushed against the hem of her skirt.

"Su Li, the third lady of Shangshu Mansion, is outstanding in talent and courage, and Yu Xiaoyao has the grace to save her life, and she is now a special ......gift" Zhang De, the chief manager of the inner house, had not finished reading the reward, and was interrupted by Su Li's loud voice: "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhang De stopped with the holy decree, Su Li leaned over and slammed her head on the smooth and bright floor tiles: "Please forgive your majesty, the people have the courage to ask your majesty for your life!" ”

She knelt in the center of the hall and said loudly, her voice was loud and confident, more tenacious than the soldiers who had been tempered in the military camp for a long time, and all eyes were focused on her.

Chu Lingzhao looked at the white hosta on her bun, and his eyes were secretive: "What's the matter?" He asked in a deep voice, in a flat tone, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.

Su Li's eyes are still red, there is a water light in the bottom of her eyes, but her expression is resolute: "The reputation of the folk girl was ruined five years ago, and now fortunately, thanks to the mercy of the Hou Ye, she gave the folk girl a place to stay, but today because the folk girl gave the Hou Ye to make the Lord unhappy, the folk girl felt that she had no face to stand on, and she was willing to become a nun from now on and cut off the dust!" ”

The royal front asked for his own hair, and there was no chance to turn back in the future, and the whole audience was in an uproar, and all of them were shocked by Su Li.

The only queen mother who knew the inside story frowned when she heard this, and she was the one who asked Su Li to do this, but because of the small episode that happened before, this timing was a little delicate.

As soon as An Jue finished finding fault, Su Li asked for her hair to fall out, no matter how she looked at it without knowing it, it seemed that An Jue was bullying people too much, and Su Li wanted to lose her hair and avoid him because she was humiliated.

An Jue is one of the few remaining descendants of the An family, how can the Queen Mother not protect him?

An Ruolan didn't expect things to turn out like this, she glanced at Su Li with some resentment, and was about to speak, Su Bangyue took the first step to speak: "Ah Li has been away from Beijing for five years, and finally returned to Beijing, why do you want to escape into the empty door?" You are still so young, how can you stand being accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern every day? ”

Her voice was soft, full of concern, and her eyes were slightly red after speaking, but she didn't shed tears just right so as not to look artificial, and when others saw it, it was a very enviable sisterhood.

Gu Yuanfeng was also taken aback by Su Li's sudden move, and subconsciously wanted to dissuade her, thinking of her reaction when she first returned to Beijing, he pressed it again.

Before the big thing happens, Su Li won't really want to escape into the empty door, she must have her own reasons for doing so. inevitably ruined Su Li's plan, Gu Yuanfeng did not speak rashly.

"The people's daughter has made up her mind, please take care of your precious body, don't be sad for the people's daughter!"

Su Li responded in a deep voice, she called the eldest sister, there was already a cry of forbearance and restraint in her words, Su Bangyue's eyes were even redder, she took a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes and said tremblingly: "Third sister, why are you so confused?" Zhan'er is still young, how can you leave the child alone? ”

Everyone still didn't know that Su Li had returned to Beijing with her child, and now her simple sentence made it clear that Su Li was already a wife.

"The child has entered the ancestral home of the Su family, and his father and mother will take good care of him, and it is a good thing for him to lose the notorious mother of the people's daughter!"

Su Li's words were no longer room for turnback, Su Wanyue's face was sad, and a tear finally fell from the corner of her eyes.

The beauty wept, she was pitiful, and it made people's hearts feel distressed.

Su Wanyue pinched the silk handkerchief and turned her head to look at Chu Lingzhao, and Ai Ai whispered: "Your Majesty, the third sister is ...... Just confused for a moment! ”

She didn't directly ask Chu Lingzhao to reject Su Li's request, but crying like this was more difficult to refuse than directly speaking.

"Concubine Su, you are pregnant with the dragon heir, don't be so sad!"

The Queen Mother spoke in a deep voice, Su Wanyue apologized, but tears were still popping out of the corners of her eyes, and the Queen Mother was upset by her miserable appearance.

The Queen Mother originally wanted to get Su Li into the nunnery to stay honest, but when she saw her so showy today, she had murderous intent, thinking that she had entered the nunnery, and after a while, she would send someone to deal with her unconsciously, so as not to hook Chu Huai Anjing to do some deviant things, but I didn't expect An Jue to get involved in these things today.

Su Wanyue was crying and crying in front of Chu Lingzhao's eyes at this time, for the sake of the dragon heir in her stomach, the queen mother didn't want to hold on to Su Li too much.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother had to take the initiative to speak: "The mourning family sees that this Miss Su San is also a clever person, why bother to become a nun?" ”

The Queen Mother said peacefully, as if she was not the one who forced Su Li to petition for a monk.

Su Li knelt on the ground and said nothing, and the Queen Mother said: "Since you already have a child, then you will give a chastity archway in the name of the mourning family, and it will not be in vain to be known for your amazing talent." ”

If she does not enter the nunnery, the Queen Mother also wants to use a chastity archway to press Su Li, so that she can behave in the world and not trespass every step.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhong, the servant of the ministry, took the lead in raising an objection: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, as far as the minister knows, this Miss Su San's reputation was ruined five years ago, and I am afraid that she can't afford such a gift from the archway of chastity!" ”

He said it bluntly, but it wasn't harsh, so he didn't state Su Li's loss of discipline in the bandits' den again.

The events of the year were well known, and Su Liangxing also felt that his old face was dull at this moment, and he took the initiative to stand up and say: "The old minister thanked the Queen Mother for her gift, but the rebel daughter Su Li is indeed difficult to inherit the name of the archway of chastity!" ”

Su Li scolded Zhao Zhong before, and there was no room for sand in this person's eyes, so it was normal for Su Li to jump out and speak at this time, but he didn't expect Su Liangxing to be so anxious.

Blood is thicker than water, and now standing in this hall, this blood connection is so thin and fragile.

Su Li knelt on the ground, licked her lips and smiled, there were more and more objections, for a long time, Chu Lingzhao opened his mouth to suppress everyone's discussions, and looked at Chu Huai'an: "Su Li, the third lady of Shangshu Mansion, has been removed from the Su family, and now she is a person from Xiaoyao Mansion, according to what you see, how should you deal with it?" ”

This ball was finally kicked to Chu Huai'an, and Su Li was a little nervous.

The queen mother asked her to become a monk, she didn't tell Chu Huai'an, Fang Cai also made a request to the emperor without making an opinion, this person has always had a bad temper, and he must be angry at this moment, if he is ......

was nervous, and Chu Huai'an's voice came from gritting his teeth: "Naturally, I will take it back and punish it well, so that she knows what to say and what not to say!" ”

He laughed angrily, and returned to his usual temperament, but Su Li's scalp tingled when he heard it.

"Then I will hand it over to you, and the reward will remain the same!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Zhang De finished reading the reward, Su Li thanked the emperor for his grace, and returned to his seat and sat down.

Chu Huai'an didn't talk to her, he drank the glass of wine she had just poured gently, and lazily held his chin to watch the play.

Su Li was a little uneasy, but she kept her composure and didn't say anything, and only concentrated on helping him prepare vegetables.

After a while, Zhang De took the holy decree and called Chu Huai'an's name, Chu Huai'an put down the wine glass, tidied up his clothes and walked to the center of the hall and knelt down.

"Xiaoyao Hou Chu Huai'an is natural by nature, indifferent to fame and fortune, some time ago he was framed by a traitor and had an affair with the concubine, and almost died, although the culprit has been ambushed, there are still many doubts in the meantime, in order to show justice, now I specially ordered Xiaoyao Hou to be the messenger of injustice, investigate the case, and give the order of injustice, and those who see this order are like seeing me!"

Under the order, the civil and military faces of the Manchu Dynasty were all solemn.

In the morning, Chu Ling Zhaocai asked Zhao Hanzhuo to meddle in the military intelligence department under the pretext of Cha Suli's article, and now he has named Chu Huai'an as the envoy of injustice, not to mention whether Chu Huai'an is playing with this injustice order or acting mischiefly, these two holy decrees alone have already made people feel a sense of crisis for no reason.

This young emperor is afraid that he is going to purge the Qing Dynasty a little bit to reinvigorate the monarchy!

"Command, thank you, Lord Longen!"

Chu Huai'an spoke loudly, and the palace people presented the holy decree and a palm-sized golden token, Chu Huai'an took it, pinned the waist card to his waist and returned to his seat.

The original staggered hall was a little dull, only Chu Huai'an happily chatted with Chu Lingzhao, and the others looked at Chu Huai'an, only feeling like an invisible knife hanging on their heads, and they didn't know when it would fall.

The Queen Mother didn't know if she was angry or too old to be tired, so she let An Ruolan help her back to the palace to rest early, Su Wanyue was pregnant, and she retired and left not long after.

The emperor had not yet left the table, but the other ministers did not dare to leave.

After sitting for a while, the fireworks show was ready, and Chu Lingzhao led everyone to the viewing platform.

Because of Chu Huai'an's identity, Su Li was standing not far from Chu Lingzhao.

When the first fireworks rushed into the sky, he and Chu Huai'an stood face to face and beckoned to Su Li, who hesitated for a moment before walking over.

When I walked up, the fireworks exploded overhead, and the dark night was as bright as day for a moment.

At that moment, Su Li saw a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of warmth, and he asked, "Miss Su, do you know the origin of this white hosta on her head?" ”

His voice was very soft, there was no one else at this moment, and his tone lacked the majesty of an emperor, as if it was just an ordinary brother talking to his sister.

He has been looking at this white hosta tonight, Su Li didn't know what the origin was, so he could only answer truthfully: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the hosta is a gift from the eldest sister, and the people don't know what special meaning it has." ”

The light of the fireworks quickly disappeared, and it was dark again, Su Li couldn't see Chu Lingzhao's expression, she only heard him whisper: "Those who don't know are not guilty, wear it, it's very good-looking." ”

He didn't want to say it, so Su Li naturally didn't dare to ask more.

After watching the fireworks, everyone left one after another, Chu Huai'an was going back to the house, and the palace people arranged a carriage to send them back.

It was cold at night, and two stoves were thoughtfully placed in the carriage, Su Li took one and handed it to Chu Huai'an, but Chu Huai'an didn't take it, and sat on the wall of the carriage to examine her.

This gaze was quite cold, Su Li was afraid that there would be too many mistakes, so he simply held the stove and let him watch, the coachman's riding skills were very good, and the driving was very stable, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the quiet street.

All the way back to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, as soon as the carriage stopped, the housekeeper rushed over with a cloak: "Master Hou, you can count yourself back!" The voice was so excited that I almost burst into tears.

The cloak is bright red and is used to ward off bad luck and evil spirits.

Since he was arrested in Dali Temple, Chu Huai'an has never returned, and only asked the palace people to return home with a letter to report his safety, but he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't feel at ease.

Knowing that the family was worried, Chu Huaian let the housekeeper tremble and help him put on the cloak.

"It's not early, can my mother go to sleep?"

"No, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Madame has been waiting for Hou Ye to come home!"

The housekeeper replied, his hands trembled with excitement, and he didn't tie the cloak and strap for a long time, Su Li couldn't look past it, so he took the initiative to reach out and help Chu Huai'an tie it, and retreated, Chu Huai'an raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

"Master Hou, please come in!"

The housekeeper got out of the way, the little servant took the brazier and put it at the gate, Chu Huai'an stepped over, and Su Li also lifted her skirt and followed in.

All the way in, the little maid sprinkled water with grapefruit leaves to guide them, and when they arrived outside the hall door, the maid brought them grapefruit water to wash their hands, and took incense around them a few times, until both of them were dyed with incense.

Finally entering the door, Chu Liu couldn't wait to rush over, grabbed Chu Huai'an and kept looking up and down: "Finally back, are you injured?" Is it thin? How many times have I said it to make you good, are you going to scare your mother to death? ”

Chu Liu shed tears as she spoke, knowing that Su Li had been poisoned in the prison, she was so frightened that her soul was almost gone, not that she was worried about Su Li, but she was just thinking that if Chu Huai'an was also poisoned by eating that food, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive if she went to the ghost gate and was closed.

Because of worry, she has lost a lot of weight, and she is becoming more and more haggard, but today she deliberately dressed up, but her old spirit was still revealed.

"Didn't I say I'm okay?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Huai'an was also a little distressed, and hurriedly helped her sit down, Chu Liu's tears couldn't stop, and he beat Chu Huai'an's chest in disgust, Chu Huai'an let her beat, and it took a long time to coax people.

It didn't take long for the time to arrive, and the little guy went to the door to light a cannon fight, and the sound of artillery battles everywhere came and went.

Chu Liu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Chu Huai'an took out the red envelope he didn't know when he prepared and handed it to Chu Liu's: "It's another year and the New Year, my son wishes his mother good health, smooth and worry-free, and eternal youth!" ”

Chu Liu didn't open the red envelope, he didn't know what was inside, he was already amused, and then he noticed that Su Li was also beside him, and suddenly felt a little annoyed by the gaffe, but he didn't get angry with Su Li, and instead took out a red envelope from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Su Li.

I didn't expect to get the red envelope, Su Li was a little flattered, and hurriedly reached out to take it: "Mrs. Xie!" ”

Seeing the gauze on her wrist, Chu Liu's brows furrowed: "Why is it injured again?" ”

Seeing blood on Chinese New Year's Eve is not a good thing.

"It's just a little injury, it's not in the way, maybe it's off to a good start." Su Li tried hard to find a good meaning, Chu Liu reluctantly accepted this statement, and said a few more words to send Su Li away, leaving Chu Huai'an to continue talking.

Out of the hall, the housekeeper stepped forward to guide Su Li, but instead of going to Sizhu's courtyard, he set up a small courtyard for Su Li.

"Miss Su went to the ghost gate for Master Hou this time, and Mrs. thought Miss Su was good, so Miss Su will live here in the future." The butler said with a smile that his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.

"Thank you!"

Su Li thanked him, because of the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, the kitchen people had not rested, and the next person quickly sent hot water.

Her body was soaked in warm hot water, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and Su Li closed her eyes in satisfaction.

This Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet had a much better effect than she expected, and now that Chu Huai'an has an order to show injustice, it is very convenient to investigate what, as long as he gets conclusive evidence, Lu Ji's killing of the grain envoy can be resolved peacefully.

If it goes well, she may be able to take Su Zhan back to Saibei in early summer, but before leaving, she has to give an explanation to the second sister and He'er.

Thinking of this, Su Li's brows furrowed slightly, and depression welled up in her chest, and she suddenly heard a crackling sound from the window, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Huaian coming in from the window.

"Master Hou?"

Su Li exclaimed, lowered her body and stuck to the side of the bathtub, although her clothes were on the screen next to her, she didn't dare to stand up and get it.

Chu Huai'an rolled in, closed the window, walked straight to the bathtub, looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were churning with anger, and Su Li's scalp was numb.
