When he returned to the palace, Soho had already left, although Zhou Jinghan was a little lost in his heart, but he couldn't run to her again after all, but he didn't expect that in the afternoon, Soho would come to Zhou Jinghan again.

Soho looked anxious, as if she had something important to say.

Zhou Jinghan saw her like this, poured her a glass of water first, and said, "You are slow, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Soho drank the water, panting, and she said, "After I went back, I found an excuse to go to Su Kun, and found that he had a jade plaque, and the jade plaque was engraved with a strange symbol, and today I saw the same symbol on the dark arrow!" ”

"Are you sure you read that right?" Zhou Jinghan asked.

Soho was firm, "I promise I'm not mistaken. ”

Zhou Jinghan was also a little excited, he walked quickly to the table, brought rice paper and pen, and said to Soho: "Then do you remember what that symbol looks like?" Draw it and show it to me. ”

Soho nodded, drawing the symbol from memory.

Zhou Jinghan looked at it carefully and said, "I recognize this symbol, among the people who went to Anqing Road to assassinate me before, someone had this on their weapons." ”

"It's the second prince."

Zhou Jinghan nodded, "It seems that we misjudged at that time." ”

"It's just...... Although the iron ore incident involved several officials in the court, there was no evidence pointing to the second prince, why was he so impatient? Soho was puzzled.

Zhou Jinghan said, "I found a person in the crowd, maybe it has something to do with this. ”

"Who is it?"

"Liu Feng's only son."

Su He frowned, "Liu Feng's only son? How did he end up here? ”

"There are two possibilities for this matter, one is that Zhou Chengyu planned it, and the iron mine incident is related to him, and the other is that he only said that he simply wanted to harm me, as for when he contacted Liu Feng, it has not been found out, Liu Feng may have also seen his son at that time, remembering the transaction between Zhou Chengyu and him, he had to say so in that case in order to save his son's life."

Su He nodded, Zhou Jinghan's analysis was very reasonable.

The two discussed for a while, and Su He left, and as soon as she returned to the house, Su Yuanqing sent someone to find her.

Since Su He gave Su Yuanqing those practical medicine bags and took the initiative to go to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings in the house, Su Yuanqing's attitude towards his daughter has improved a lot, Xu feels that Su Qing has been married, and he only has this one daughter by his side, so he knows that he is distressed.

When Su He entered the house, Su Yuanqing had a lot more smile on his face, and he smiled lovingly and said, "Come on, sit down." ”

Su He sat down on the chair on the side, Su Yuanqing picked up an ice orange on the table and handed it to Su Ho, "This is just delivered today, there is only a small box, I gave your grandmother some, there are only some left, you taste it, if you think it is delicious, take it back and eat it." ”

Soho Mo held the orange, the sweet smell got into her nose, her nose was a little sour, the ice orange is abundant in the Jiangnan area, she also liked to eat it in the previous life, according to the book and the previous temperament, she would never eat anything here, but this orange touched her heart, Soho actually made a ghost to peel off the orange, the juice splashed on her hands, and even her nails were dyed.

"Is it delicious?" Su Yuanqing asked.

Soho nodded, although it was also sweet, but she always felt that she had lost the taste she had before.

"Is there something my father is looking for me?" Soho pulls herself back from her memories.

Su Yuanqing opened his mouth to talk about business, "I also heard about today's execution ground, the regent is deeply involved, and now the emperor let him rest at home, the meaning is already obvious, you have always been smart, you should understand the meaning, right?" ”

Soho couldn't help frowning, "What does Father want to say?" ”

"The eunuchs in the court, but all the high and powerful positions are coveted by some people, which is why I am unwilling to stand in line, and I am not willing to get too close to any of my fellow ministers, and now it is known that you are close to the regent, for your own sake and for the sake of the Su Mansion, you better stay away from the prince." Su Yuanqing spoke bitterly, but he was also sincere.

Of course Soho wouldn't do this, she never got close to Zhou Jinghan for any fame and fortune, but with what she liked in her heart, she knew that she hadn't done anything embarrassing and hurtful, and she had nothing to fear. It's just that Su He looked at Su Yuanqing's earnest gaze, and suddenly couldn't bear it, because of the successive changes in the house, Su Yuanqing was already a lot older, and there seemed to be more gray hair on his head.

Su He is not an iron-hearted person, she doesn't want Su Yuanqing to fill it up again, so she nodded.

Su Yuanqing's face also had a look of joy, "Okay, okay, I know that He'er you know the general situation, okay, go back and rest, take these ice oranges back to eat." With that, Su Yuanqing picked up the orange and stuffed it into Su Ho's hand.

As soon as Soho left, the second prince came to visit Su Yuanqing.

"Why is the second prince here? These subordinates didn't even give notice in advance, so I could prepare to welcome the second prince. Su Yuanqing said politely.

The second prince smiled very calmly, "Your Excellency, this is polite, what is there to welcome, I was originally here to bother." ”

Su Yuanqing also laughed, he knew that the second prince would not come without incident, so he quietly waited for his next step.

The second prince is not in a hurry or impatient, his external image has always been warm, he took out the box and opened it, and there was a purple gold Xiangfei wolf pen lying inside.

"This is Mr. Chongli's love pen, it is said that when he went south to give a lecture, a master gifted, the old gentleman can't put it down, some of the ink treasures that have been circulated in the world are from this pen, I know that the prime minister likes pen and ink, so he specially brought it to the prime minister."

Su Yuanqing deeply knew the truth of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, although he liked it very much, he was very surprised just by seeing it, but before he figured out the purpose of the second prince's visit this time, he would never accept it.

Su Yuanqing also smiled, poured tea for the second prince, looked at the pen again and said, "This is indeed precious, Mr. Chongli is a highly learned person, and there are countless students who have been taught by him, so this pen, I ...... I don't dare to accept it, the second prince came this time just to send me this money? ”

The second prince's expression was slightly abnormal, Su Yuanqing's reaction was different from what he expected, a person like him who likes calligraphy very much, should be very happy to see this, but Su Yuanqing controlled himself very well.

The second prince can only say, "My lord is in a high position in the court, and his words are also weighty, my qualifications are still shallow, and sometimes some things are not handled well enough, if they are caught by others, it is not good, so I still want to get an accurate word from the lord here, and in the future, in the court, you can help me more, of course, this benefit is naturally indispensable." ”

Su Yuanqing only felt that his eyelids were jumping suddenly, the last thing he wanted to do was to stand in the court, although the second prince was famous, no one dared to guarantee how things would develop in the future.

Su Yuanqing smiled, "Second prince don't worry, I, Su Yuanqing, can't do anything else, I am still worthy of the word justice in the court, no matter what, as long as it is ordered by the emperor, I will definitely do my best to do it, and the second prince does not need to ask for this anymore." ”

The second prince was choked, he knew that Su Yuanqing was deliberate, pretending to be confused, to put it bluntly, he just didn't want to help him.

The second prince couldn't turn his face immediately, so he still smiled and said, "Okay, I'm bothered, I still have something to do, let's go first." Since Su Yuanqing is unwilling, he can't force it, otherwise he will fall out at that time, and no one's face will be good-looking.

Su Yuanqing returned the pen to the second prince, "This pen is too valuable, I can't afford it, the second prince should take it back." ”

The second prince came out of the Su Mansion with a black face, and he glanced back, his expression was very complicated.

Zhou Jinghan is now idle at home, and the second prince knows it, which is in line with his expected purpose, but he did not slack off because of this, he thought that Zhou Jinghan would temporarily "fall", Su Yuanqing and others would see the situation clearly and stand on their side, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

The second prince also knew in his heart that he could not offend this kind of person, the important ministers of the court were useful to the court and the world, as long as Su Yuanqing was not used by others, then he would not touch Su Yuanqing.

The second prince has been thinking about these things recently, and he is often busy with these things, until he is called to the palace by the emperor.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was very depressing, and the second prince suddenly became alert, he walked lightly, and whispered, "Father, what are you looking for?" ”

The emperor looked at the second prince, but the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he directly smashed the fold in his hand on the second prince, "Look at the good things you have done!" There was anger in his voice.

The second prince didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly picked up the fold to check, and the more he looked down, the cooler his heart became, and he became more and more panicked.

"I asked you to deal with the floods in Jiangnan, and you kept saying that you had dealt with it, and promised that there would be no problems, but now? Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan have been displaced and homeless, how do you explain to me? If the local officials don't report it, how did you go about the investigation? Did you not go at all, or were you deceiving me with those officials? You said! The Emperor slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table rattled.

The second prince only felt that his head was rumbling, he really didn't go, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious!

"Erchen...... Erchen did send someone to go, and it was indeed dealt with at that time, thinking that this happened again recently. ”

"Then why didn't you go?"

"Father, the queen mother was seriously ill at that time, and her sons were ...... I can't leave. ”

The Emperor sneered, "So you deliberately deceived me and allowed things to develop to the situation we are today!" ”

The second prince was also very annoyed at this time, "The son is guilty!" ”

The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Since you have made a mistake, you will be punished!" ”
