There was nothing to say about going to Hudi, Su Li mentioned to Chu Lingzhao about the two recent murders in Beijing, and connected what happened in Lizhou before.

"That elder is good at face changing, although he has been in Lizhou on the surface, but often Shenlong sees the head and the end, and no one knows where he has done in private, maybe he is the one who changed the face of the queen mother in the first place, even if it is not, he should also be inextricably linked with that person."

After Su Li finished speaking, she paused before saying, "Seeing that the queen's state doesn't seem to be very good, if there is a chance, Your Majesty can catch that elder and interrogate it to see if there is any solution." ”

It stands to reason that Chu Lingzhao asked Su Li to follow Kutar to Hudi, which was very unkind, Su Li hated him and blamed him, but she was sincerely thinking about him.

Chu Lingzhao's mood was a little complicated, and he looked at Su Li with dark eyes: "Ah Li doesn't hate me? ”

He was half surprised when he said this, and he was usually suspicious, wondering about Su Li's intention to remind him of the elder's affairs.

Inexplicably, Su Li felt that Chu Ling Zhao and Gu Zhi were a bit similar, after losing everything and taking on too much, they had no way to easily trust someone.

Thinking of this, Su Li lifted her eyes to meet Chu Lingzhao's gaze, and said sincerely: "The queen mother has a kind heart, and when Su Guifei was dying, she persuaded Her Majesty to see her for the last time. ”

Su Li knew very well that with Chu Lingzhao's temperament, since he had decided to execute Su Wanyue, he would have no affection for her, and he would not go to see her for the last time.

But in the end, he came, and apart from An Ruoshang's credit, Su Li couldn't think of anyone else.

Chu Ling was clear, and then he was a little curious: "Ah Li doesn't hate her now?" ”

"People are already dead, and hating them is just to add trouble to themselves, it is better to let go and live freely." Su Li said lightly.

She is good-natured, not a bloodthirsty and madman, and taking human life will not make her happy.

After running away for many years and experiencing countless bloody rains and bloody winds, even though she was scarred, she was as young and pure as she was, and she never changed her original intention, which suddenly made Chu Lingzhao feel two points of envy.

"By the way, Your Majesty once said that he would spare that child's life, is this still counting?"

Su Li is talking about Chu Shen, Chu Lingzhao just said that he should send Chu Shen out of the palace to recuperate, take his body and then take him back to the palace, but whether he can be recuperated or not is all in his thoughts.

"Since I promised you to spare his life, naturally I will not break my word."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Li thanked him and came out of the imperial study, and the palace people bowed down respectfully and waited beside them, Su Li glanced at the palace people, and faintly felt that she seemed to have missed something, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Just as he was frowning and thinking, a cyan figure walked quickly with anger, causing all the guards around the imperial study to look at him nervously.

Su Li stood still, waiting for him to approach, and then grabbed her hand tightly.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Su Li replied, feeling that his palms were hot and sweaty, and his breathing was a little urgent, obviously he broke in after getting the news.

Seeing this, the palace people at the door sneaked in to report, and came out after a while, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, Your Majesty invites you to go in, if you have anything to say in person." ”

"No, I have nothing to say to him!"

Chu Huai'an refused coldly, grabbed Su Li's waist with one hand, and walked out almost half-holding Su Li.

Knowing what he was worried about, Su Li relaxed and leaned against him.

All the way out of the palace, Chu Huaian pulled Su Li into the carriage, and his face was still stiff, like a hard wood carving.

"The memorial is over so soon? Didn't you talk to your mother for a while? ”

Su Li asked softly, not mentioning the conversation between him and Chu Lingzhao in the palace just now.

"Nope!"

Chu Huai'an replied bluntly, knowing that she was suddenly summoned into the palace, where could he still sit still?

This man is still so willful.

"It's still early, can I go and put incense on the old marquis?"

Su Li took the initiative to ask, Chu Huai'an looked at her with wide eyes, and saw that she looked serious, waiting for her to answer, and the depression in her chest suddenly disappeared by half.

This woman really ate him to death! Even if he is furious, he can find a way to extinguish him.

Chu Huai'an pursed his lips, and a 'um' overflowed from the tip of his nose was considered to be agreed, Su Li knew that he had not completely calmed down his emotions, and deliberately blamed: "People haven't left the cabinet yet, and everyone who has no name or share has offered to incense your father, what are you doing with such a bad face?" ”

She hadn't been coquettish for a long time, she didn't pay attention to the force she used too much, her voice was thin and soft, a bit like a child, Su Li was so hot that her old face was hot by herself, and she cleared her throat uncomfortably.

Chu Huai'an's face softened, and he lowered his eyes: "I'm not angry with you." ”

It's too late to hurt you, how can I be angry with you?

His thoughts were all written on his face, and Su Li couldn't understand anything: "Don't worry, Kutar just asked me to go to guard the tomb for Ku Keduo, and promised His Majesty that he would not want my life." ”

Su Li secretly changed the concept and changed the word, but Chu Huai'an was still instantly furious: "What is Hu Keduo?" Why did you ask him to guard his grave? ”

He was furious, all for her.

Su Li frowned, and said with a distressed face: "I have also thought about this problem carefully, it should be that old thing who saw that I was the person of the Hou Ye, and hated the Hou Ye for killing Ku Keduo, but he had nothing to do with the Hou Ye, so he could only take me, the most beloved person of the Hou Ye went to guard the tomb of his son, so that the Hou Ye could not love me, it should be his biggest revenge on the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye does not love me, it will be fine." ”

Su Li said while holding her face, while peeking at Chu Huai'an's face, seeing that his expression was loose, she was already half-convinced, and continued: "It's better for Master Hou to go into the palace now and ask Your Majesty to marry someone else, and then let Your Majesty send me to the nunnery, so that maybe I can escape this catastrophe." ”

The more Su Li spoke, the more brisk her tone became, feeling that what she said was very feasible, Chu Huai'an's face became worse and worse, and he clasped the back of Su Li's neck and leaned over, blocking her chattering lips.

Su Li was stunned for a moment, then relaxed, let him occupy it, and then responded to him slightly.

After a kiss, the breath of both of them was unstable, Chu Huai'an's eyes were deep and stained with desire, Su Li remembered that he had been drunk and made him angry in Lizhou, and suddenly he was so blessed that he guessed what happened that night, licked his ruddy lips, and hugged his neck: "Master Hou, I was drunk one night in Lizhou, did I call the general's name to you?" ”

The atmosphere was ambiguous, Su Li was a little slight, Chu Huaian wreaked havoc on her lips again, and finally said in a dull voice: "I don't mind!" ”

Where is this tone that you don't mind, it's clear that you have to mind to die, okay, what kind of generosity are you pretending?

"I was drunk that day, and I couldn't count what I said." Su Li said seriously, Chu Huai'an nodded to show that he knew, but the next moment he was hooked by Su Li's neck and pressed the corner of his lips: "Today I and Hou Ye are both sober, do you want to go to Yunyu with me?" ”

Su Li asked against his face, his lips brushed his cheeks, bringing a slight itch, and then the heat from the explosion of sparks, Chu Huai'an tensed all over, hugged Su Li, Su Li leaned over to his ear and exhaled a hot breath.

Goblin!

Chu Huai'an scolded in his heart, a burst of fireworks crackled in his head, and everything was thrown out of the clouds, just wanting to press her to do this and that, but the next moment he heard the sound of the coachman pulling the reins of the horse and stopping the car.

Su Li's eyebrows were crooked, with a smug look after the prank succeeded: "Oh, the Hou Mansion has arrived." ”

"Deliberately flirting with me?"

Chu Huai'an asked in a deep voice, pressing Su Li and not moving, his body was close to him, Su Li obviously felt the change in him, and suddenly remembered his previous arbitrary and reckless style of acting, and hurriedly explained: "I want to make Hou Ye happy, don't always think about things in a bad way, you ......"

"It's late!"

Chu Huai'an said a word, and quickly pulled open her collar with a free hand and lit a fire on her neck.

“……”

Su Li wanted to cry without tears, and raised her hand to push Chu Huai'an, for fear that he would really do something to her here.

Fortunately, Chu Huai'an only scared her, and after a while, he helped her pull her collar and took her out of the car.

The neck was wet and very uncomfortable, Su Li touched it, and wanted to block it with her hand, but was swept away by Chu Huai'an's cold eyes, so she obediently let go and let him lead her in.

In the past half a year, Chu Huai'an and Chu Liu's family have not lived in the mansion, and the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion looks much more deserted, and the subordinates saw Chu Huai'an pulling Su Li into the house, and they all saluted excitedly.

walked all the way to the ancestral ancestral hall, and before he stepped in, he heard the sound of Chu Liu's clattering on the wooden fish.

I haven't seen it for more than half a year, Chu Liu's family has lost a lot of weight, and the originally thick black black hair has also been dyed frost white, just looking at the back, you can know that it has aged a lot.

"Coming back?"

Chu Liu asked and turned around, seeing surprise flashing in Su Li's eyes, his gaze paused on Su Li, and then fell on the hands she and Chu Huai'an were shaking each other.

Su Li subconsciously wanted to shrink back, Chu Huai'an seemed to have expected it, and held on tightly, Su Li hesitated for a moment and shook it back hard.

Now that she's here, there's no reason to back down.

"I'll bring Ah Li to give my dad a stick of incense."

Chu Huai'an said, his tone was quite tough, it was just a notice, and he didn't mean to discuss it with Chu Liu's family.

Chu Liu didn't get angry, but smiled kindly with a sigh of relief: "Yes, your father has a spirit in the sky...... Will be happy! ”

Chu Liu's family didn't mind Su Li's reputation and identity for a long time, after so many things, she knew very well that Su Li was not an ordinary woman, if Chu Huai'an could achieve a positive result with Su Li in this life, it would already be a rare creation.

Because of the previous things, Chu Huai'an now has some differences with Chu Liu's family, and Chu Liu's family stood up quite crampedly: "I'll ask people to prepare dinner, you talk first." After saying that, he hurried away.

Su Li looked at her back and sighed unconsciously: "Madame has white hair." ”

Chu Huai'an had already taken two incense sticks to help light them, and when he heard this, his hand was sluggish, and he replied in a low voice after a while: "People will have white hair when they are old." ”

"She's you."

Su Li exposed the facts, Chu Huaian pursed his lips without saying a word, and handed one of the sticks of incense to Su Li.

The curling green smoke blurred his outline, Su Li took the incense and knelt down on the futon, and said casually: "I have let go of the past, and you don't want to be angry with her anymore." ”

Chu Liu is his mother in the end, everything she did back then, from her point of view, was for Chu Huai'an's good, Su Li didn't want Chu Huai'an to become a loner like Chu Lingzhao.

Chu Huai'an still didn't speak, knelt down next to Su Li, and the two of them kowtowed respectfully with incense.

Old marquis, if you have a spirit in the sky, please protect him for the rest of his life!

Dad, if you have a spirit in heaven, please protect her safe and worry-free!

Su Li and Chu Huaian said in their hearts at the same time.

After the three heads were kowtowed, Chu Huai'an took the incense in Su Li's hand and inserted it in the incense burner, and silently added in his heart: Dad, kowtow to the incense, she is my wife, you have to protect her.

After saying what was in his heart, Chu Huai'an reached out and picked up the tablet, Su Li was startled, but saw him take out a blood-red crescent-shaped jade pendant from under the tablet.

The jade pendant was only the size of a little finger, strung with a red thread, and the blood color was extremely pure, like a ripe pomegranate fruit, even if it was not in the daylight, it also reflected a fine light.

If you look closer, there is also a blood-red flower in the jade perry, the color of the flower is a little darker than the jade color, and the stamens are completely blooming, which is too beautiful to say.

"It's a family heirloom left behind by my father."

Chu Huai'an said that Su Li had already guessed the importance of this jade pendant, and there was no big surprise: "Do you want to give it to me?" ”

"Hmm."

After Chu Huai'an finished speaking, he leaned over slightly and put the jade pendant on Su Li with his own hands.

I don't know if it's Su Li's illusion, through her clothes, she seems to feel the jade pendant slightly hot in her chest.

But soon she didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else, after Chu Huai'an put on the jade pendant, she didn't rush to evacuate, she was very close to her, and the aura of her body enveloped her and confined her.

"I sacrificed jade with blood, and if you accept it, you will live for the rest of your life, and you can only be my person."

He not only wants the rest of her life, but also her life!

Domineering and strong.

Su Li didn't answer immediately, suppressed the emotion in her heart and said hoarsely: "Today, Your Majesty summoned me into the palace and gave me a bowl of poison, and I personally sent the concubine on the road." ”

Su Li couldn't tell why she wanted to tell Chu Huai'an about this at this time, maybe her heart was not big enough, and she always felt that he still had Su Wanyue's place in his heart.

It was so hidden that he probably didn't even notice it.

Chu Huai'an didn't speak, Su Li wanted to see his expression, took a step back, and before he could retreat, his waist was tight, Chu Huai'an took her into his arms, and a storm rolled up in his eyes: "I only need you in this life, and I only need you in this life!" ”

He spoke a little hurriedly, but his tone was very firm.

Su Li's heart was as warm as a stove, her eyebrows were crooked, and she took the initiative to kiss him: "I know." ”

Her eyes were bent into crescents, and the water was shining, much more beautiful than the blood jade.

Seeing Chu Huai'an's heart move and move, his Adam's apple kept tumbling up and down.

He really wanted her.

But...... Not now.

Eight sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, Ming media is marrying, and the cave room is full of candles.

Lu Ji guarded a handful of ashes, and what he had spent years giving to Gu Li, he would give her a lot of them!

Holding Su Li to calm down for a while, Chu Huai'an took Su Li to the dining room, Chu Liu was sitting there talking to the old woman, and when he saw Chu Huai'an and Su Li walking in together, he hurriedly cut off the topic and stood up: "The meal will be good right away, Ah Li, you sit down for a while." ”

Her tone was almost flattering, and Su Li listened with a faint sadness, but she saw that the old woman kept looking at her, her eyes roaming up and down her neck.

The blood jade has been stuffed into Su Li's collar and worn closely, has it been discovered?

Su Li subconsciously touched her neck, and Chu Liu glanced at Chu Huai'an: "I am careful that I have not yet married Ah Li, and my behavior should not be too rude!" ”

“……”

Su Li suddenly remembered that Chu Huai'an was sucking on her neck in the carriage, could it be that there was a mark on her neck at that time?

Su Li looked back at Chu Huai'an, but Chu Huai'an didn't look at her at all, only stared at the old woman coldly, and stared at the old woman so much that she couldn't raise her head before she said in a deep voice: "What does it matter to you that I make some marks on my own people?" ”

“……”

Is there really a mark, are you a dog?

Su Li secretly twisted Chu Huai'an's leg, and Chu Huai'an kept his face and did not change.

Chu Liu's small movements of the two were clearly distinguished, but they did not break it, and only said to Su Li in a warm voice: "This stinky boy has always been stingy, Ah Li Mo wants to deal with him." ”

"Madame's words are serious." Su Li's polite response.

As he spoke, the maid brought all the food, and Chu Liu gave Su Li a few chopsticks and dishes, and seeing that the atmosphere was rare and there was no hatred, he tentatively mentioned the marriage.

Speaking of marriage, half of her was thinking about Su Li's reputation, and half of it was about letting Su Li and Chu Huai settle down quickly, so as not to cause any more chaos in the middle.

But what she didn't know was that the mess had already come out first.

Chu Huai'an's face was slightly gloomy: "I have my own opinions about marriage, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Chu Liu couldn't help but raise her voice, she didn't want to stop this family business, she was also Chu Huai'an's mother, why couldn't she even interfere in the preparations for the wedding?

"Marriage is a big event, I want the orders of my parents, although the Su family is gone, Ah Li also has Lu Guogong, the father-in-law, and the town-side general, the brother-in-law, without the three media and six hiring, do you think you can marry her casually?"

Chu Liu said the truth, every word was like Su Li's mother's family was picky and felt that Chu Huai'an was not worthy of Su Li.

Chu Huai'an pretended to be troubled, and her face was so ugly that she wanted to throw away her chopsticks and leave, but she was pulled by Su Li.

"Madame is right, my brother asked His Majesty a few days ago to make up for a secret marriage for his deceased wife, and after marriage, the house will not marry because of filial piety, although I am in love with the Hou Ye, this rule must be kept."

Su Li's voice was soft, and she chose the most reasonable and harmless excuse, Chu Liu came back to her senses after being reminded by her, and restrained her anger: "This is the reason, but Ah Li has ...... this year"

She wanted to say that Su Li is twenty-one years old this year, and at this age, she is so old in Beijing that she can only say that she can only be a steproom for others, but she is afraid that she will fall into the hands of others.

"The gossip of others cannot be stopped, as long as I am in love with Master Hou, and my love is stronger than Jin, it doesn't matter if I wait for another ten or eight years."

Su Li in turn comforted Chu Liu, Chu Liu wanted to say something more, seeing that Chu Huai'an's face was almost about to lift the table, he had to swallow and changed his words: "You and Jin have a bumpy road, it is really not easy to get to where you are today, I don't mean anything else, I just hope you can live a good life in the future." ”

"Well, we will."

Su Li responded, and then looked at Chu Huai'an still with that cold face, and didn't pay attention to Chu Liu's meaning at all.

Chu Liu sighed, knowing that his son couldn't help his mother, so he went with him.

Five days later, the death of Su Guifei was announced to the world, although she was buried according to the concubine etiquette system, Chu Lingzhao only came forward to watch someone carry her out of the palace, and there was no more reaction.

Only then did the people of the world know that the Shangshu Mansion was demoted, and although the two sons of the Shangshu Mansion were recalled to their official positions, the favor of this noble concubine did not continue.

Without the grace of the emperor, her funeral looked inexplicably shabby and depressed.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, but this sigh was just a conversation after dinner, and it was soon forgotten, but the upcoming Qingming Festival in a few days was taken seriously by everyone.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, the sun is rare and bright, making people lazy and sleepy, Su Li prepared refreshments in the house, and sent a message to invite Gu Yuanfeng and Zhao Hanzhuo to come to the house to sit and chat, and finally used Chu Huai'an's private seal.

It was like some kind of secret hint that told the people she cared about that she was with Chu Huai'an.

Only two copies were sent to Bai Ti Suli, but there were far more than two people who came.

Chu Lingxi heard about this from somewhere, and followed Gu Yuanfeng and Zhao Hanzhuo to the door, Yue Yan came with Lu Zhan, and not long after, Gu Ji and Lu Ji came with Lu Zhan.

Su Li originally only set aside a small area in the back garden to prepare a pot of tea for Gu Yuanfeng, and talk to him leisurely, but there were too many people coming, so she could only let people add tables and chairs to change it into a small banquet, and ordered someone to serve snacks and prepare lunch.

After the order, the sun was already in full bloom, but fortunately, Su Li asked someone to build a shed with a mat in advance, which just blocked most of the daylight, and only a small beam of light fell through the gap like a little star, quiet and beautiful.

"Why are you here?"

Chu Huai'an opened his mouth to break the silence, his face was unhappy, and the people who made him unhappy were naturally Gu Ji and Lu Ji.

Gu Jiong was expressionless, ignored him at all, and turned his head to look at Su Li: "Those beggars all came into Beijing from the border pass, and there are a few people whose mental condition is not quite right, and there is nothing wrong with others." ”

After he was exposed, he has always been indifferent and arrogant, and he doesn't talk much to others, and today he made a special trip to talk to Su Li about the follow-up, which was a little surprising.

"These are the things you should investigate, what are you doing to bother others?"

Chu Huai'an muttered dissatisfiedly, very resistant to anything that might trouble Su Li.

Gu Zhi didn't reply, and after saying that, he sat down to the side and fugued.

Su Li glared at Chu Huai'an, asked him not to go too far, to be more restrained, and then let his subordinates take charcoal fire to make tea according to the original plan.

This is her specialty, she deliberately learned it in order to please Gu Yuanfeng, a somewhat cold gentleman, and the water is the rain and dew she has specially collected in the past few days.

Su Li skillfully lit the fire and began to clean the tea set, her movements were smooth, and she made it indescribably beautiful.

Chu Huai'an was not very happy at first, but at this moment all his attention was on Su Li, and he couldn't see anything else.

After going through so many hardships, he almost forgot that she was the first talented woman in Kyoto.

The tea gradually boiled, making a gurgling sound, Su Li put the tea leaves in, and the faint tea fragrance immediately overflowed, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and taste the tea fragrance with their sense of smell.

But there was a person who didn't understand the amorous feeling and said coldly: "If nothing else, that female corpse is a palace maid who went out of the palace to visit relatives, and the elder in Lizhou may have already mixed into the palace." ”

Everyone: "......"

Gu Jiong, can you shut up?
