Chapter 266: Ambition
"The minister retired." Su Ho is also sitting on pins and needles here, uncomfortable, looking at the queen's hypocritical face, Su Ho felt a burst of disgust in her heart, but she couldn't show it yet.
The queen said with a smile, "I heard Chengyu say today, you have made an appointment to go out to get together in the evening, oops, I delayed the matter, so let the people from Chengyu take you directly." After that, the queen didn't give Soho a chance to speak, so she ordered to go down.
Soho was speechless, and what the queen did was too obvious, so that in the eyes of outsiders, she seemed to be very close to the queen and others.
"Yes, thank you, Queen." Soho simply agreed calmly, otherwise, wouldn't he have let down the queen's "kindness"?
The queen smiled, looking so peaceful and approachable.
Soho didn't have a chance to go to Concubine Yun again, she followed people out of the palace, and came to the Yellow Crane Tower on Changjie in Beijing, Zhou Chengyu was already waiting here, he came to Soho today, but there was no shelf at all, so he greeted him, "The third lady is finally here, I've been waiting for a long time, it seems that the queen mother really likes you, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you to talk for so long, I, as a son, haven't talked to her for so long." ”
Soho smiled politely and said, "The second prince and the queen are mother and son, and naturally they don't need to say too much to understand each other's minds." ”
Zhou Chengyu beckoned Soho to sit down and said, "Alas, speaking of which, I'm not in place as a son, there are rules in the palace, since the prince goes out of the palace and lives in the mansion, he can't enter the palace from time to time, so although I am a mother and son with the queen mother, I don't meet many times, so you can chat with the queen mother for so long today, accompany her to relieve her boredom, I am also happy, third miss, according to the words, you are the female doctor in the palace, and it is easier to see the queen mother than me, so I am also bothering you here, if you have nothing to do in the palace, can you replace me." How often do you go to see the queen mother? ”
Soho looked at Zhou Chengyu, who had a sincere face, which made people unable to see the clues.
Su He nodded and said, "Since the second prince spoke, I don't dare to disobey, the second prince is filial, and the queen mother should be very relieved if she knows." ”
Zhou Chengyu smiled and poured a bowl of tea for Soho and said, "The third lady and I are always so polite. ”
"The difference in identity is as it should be." Soho said.
Zhou Chengyu paused and said, "But now that we meet in private, there is no need to be so restrained." ”
Soho pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Call me the second prince, call me the second prince directly outside, it's a little more eye-catching." Zhou Chengyu said.
"Yes."
Zhou Chengyu took a sip of tea, glanced at Soho and said, "These days when you are out of the palace...... How does it feel? ”
Su He couldn't figure out Zhou Chengyu's thoughts, and she wasn't sure if he already knew something, so she just replied lightly, "It's okay." ”
"The assassin's business, but there are eyebrows?" Zhou Chengyu asked.
Soho shook his head, pretending to be very confused, "No, I'm just a little female doctor, how can I check the identity of the assassin?" Besides, I was frightened at the time, and I don't know what the assassin looked like now, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the regent......
"Regent?" Zhou Chengyu pretended to be surprised.
Su He secretly sneered, this Zhou Chengyu's acting skills are really good, she knows that in fact, Su Kun has already talked from Yingxue, and Yingxue has already revealed it according to what they discussed in advance, and now, Zhou Chengyu should have known it a long time ago.
"Yes, I also just learned that it was the regent's people who happened to pass by, and that helped us and solved the assassins." Soho replied earnestly.
"I happened to be passing by, what a coincidence, what did Uncle Huang's people do? How did you pass by there? Zhou Chengyu asked.
Soho replied, "I don't know about this, and I don't have the right to ask about the regent." ”
"Before...... Your relationship with Uncle Huang is still relatively close, why are you ...... now" Zhou Chengyu deliberately pretended to be very puzzled.
Soho took a sip of tea and sighed, "Yes, that's the old days, the regent and so on, what am I in his eyes?" That's it, don't mention it. Soho looked reluctant.
Zhou Chengyu looked at Soho's expression, and he said, "Uncle Huang is this kind of character, don't take it to heart, the previous Uncle Huang, but he never approached a woman, and you, it is already an exception, of course, the same is true for the county lord." ”
Soho didn't know if Zhou Chengyu deliberately mentioned Li Ruxue, she picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth and said, "The prince and the county lord are talented and beautiful, and they are a good match." "UU Library
"The third lady is graceful and graceful, and she is also the only person in the capital." Zhou Chengyu looked at Soho and said seriously.
Su He glanced back at Zhou Chengyu, looked at his rather sincere eyes, and only sneered in his heart, but said on his face, "I can't afford you to win the award." ”
"No, I said if you can afford it, you can afford it, it's just ...... It's up to you to choose. Zhou Chengyu knocked on the table and said.
Soho swallowed the pastry in her mouth, she tasted Zhou Chengyu's words, how to choose, now let her choose the camp?
Soho smiled faintly and said, "I'm a weak woman, what choice can I have?" ”
"You're not an ordinary woman, and you're not a weak woman." Zhou Chengyu said.
Zhou Chengyu looked at Soho like a hunter looking at a prey, his eyes were full of curiosity and a desire to conquer.
Su He understood the meaning in Zhou Chengyu's eyes too well, and she also faced Zhou Chengyu, since the other party already knew herself so well, it didn't make sense to pretend anymore, she looked out the window and said leisurely, "Choose...... I'm in Sufu, I haven't been taken seriously since I was a child, I've been bullied since I was a child, and now, I've become a Shanggong, and the attitude of the people in the house towards me has changed, so I know that only by making myself better, can I wash away the shame, what about me, it's also very realistic, who gives me the most benefits, I naturally choose whom, people live in the world, isn't it for themselves? ”
Zhou Chengyu looked at Soho appreciatively, to be honest, this was the first time Soho showed such a side in front of him, he was a little surprised at the same time, but more appreciative, the woman in front of him finally showed her ambition, and it was not too ambitious, there was no threat to him, on the contrary, he could use this ambition to control her!
"I also know your previous situation, you can think so, I'm happy for you, people don't die for themselves, this is nothing." Zhou Chengyu said.
"It's just that the previous experience was too miserable, and I don't want to go through it again." Soho said.
Zhou Chengyu looked at Soho and said, "Don't worry, with me, you won't go through that again." "His voice is deep and powerful, but it's easy to get caught in.
Before Soho could reply, he heard the sound of a harp, followed by a pleasant singing.
The sound of the piano and the singing complement each other, it is indeed attractive, Soho and Zhou Chengyu couldn't help but look over, and saw a woman sitting there playing and singing at the staircase, the woman's white veil covered her face, her white fingers plucked the strings, her figure was slim, dressed in white, at a glance, it looked like a painting frozen there.
"Chang'an ballad, such a difficult tune, it's rare for someone to play and sing so well." Zhou Chengyu couldn't help but say.
Soho also nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's really rare. ”
The song and the song stopped abruptly, and I saw that there were a few more burly men beside the woman, looking at the woman with bad intentions.
The woman was obviously panicked, she stood up with the piano in her arms and said, "Heroes, the little woman is really desperate, so she is here to play and sing and perform, I don't know why the heroes want to stop the little girl?" ”
A few strong men crossed their arms and grinned, and then a white-faced man came over, he smiled obscenely, and kept looking the woman up and down and said, "Oh, cornered? Why are you cornered? ”
The woman bowed her head and said, "My father is seriously ill, and he has exhausted his wealth in order to heal him, and now he is in debt, so he ......."
"Hahaha, I see, it's easy to say, isn't the little beauty desperate? That's it, just let me help you, you serve me well, I will naturally give you enough money to pay off the debt, how about it? As he spoke, his hand restlessly tried to touch the woman's face.
"Don't be a child, the little girl is not a seller!"
When the white-faced boy saw the woman dodging, he instantly felt that his face couldn't be hung up, and he said a little angrily, "Hmph, let me tell you, don't be embarrassed!" It's your blessing that Master Ben likes you, you don't know what to do! Don't you refuse? I'll tell you, it doesn't matter what you say, come on, get her back for me! ”
A few strong men around him were about to step forward by themselves, but the woman was at a loss and kept retreating, "Don't ......"
"I want to let you know that there is nothing that Master Ben has taken a fancy to!"
The hands of the strong men had already pulled the woman's shirt, and the woman struggled violently, only to hear a "stab" sound, and the woman's skirt was torn off a piece of cloth.
The next moment, a few strong men who were pulling the woman suddenly screamed, but saw that they were all covering their legs, painted with wine glass fragments, and the woman was pulled aside by Zhou Chengyu, and the woman fell into Zhou Chengyu's arms, in the process, her veil was scraped off, revealing her true appearance, her eyes flowed, her lips were like a little fat, seductive, Zhou Chengyu looked at her eyes, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and just kept holding her.
"Who are you? Looking for death? The white-faced man saw that his people were injured, and said angrily, his voice recalled Zhou Chengyu's thoughts, and then he took off his cloak and put it on the woman, and then pulled her behind him, he looked at the few people in front of him and said, "What am I, you don't deserve to know!" "Although he is the second prince, after all, he is a royal person, his status is noble, and he is in casual clothes at this time, so naturally few people know him.
The white-faced man sneered a few times, "It's really a guy who doesn't know what to do, come on, call me!" ”
