Chapter 24: Su Wang Arrives

"One choice, two stands." After saying this with a wicked smile, Chu Jiang suddenly retreated and sat firmly in the position in front of him, with a confident look on his face.

The so-called selection is the selection of talents. The current emperor wants to choose one of the three princes to take on the heavy responsibility. So in order to examine the ability of the three princes, they gave them these few errands, so that they could get a glimpse of their methods.

As for Li, it goes without saying that the emperor wants to choose an heir, and he is considering who is the best candidate for the next monarch. In addition, I heard from Shen Junyu that the current emperor does not seem to be in good health, so even if he does not want to abdicate so quickly, he will also establish a prince.

Chu Jiangli has always believed that anyone in this world, everything they do, is traceable. Since he would do this, he must have achieved some purpose, even if this purpose is really incomprehensible to outsiders.

In particular, after he suddenly broke his usual rules of doing things and changed to a new method, it showed even more that he must be preparing for something.

After sitting back in his place, Chu Jiangli looked at Shen Junyu for a long time, secretly admiring his appearance that was "frightened" by his words. In fact, it can't be regarded as being frightened, but for a while, he can't accept the news at all.

In his mind, his father has always been old and strong, although he has reached the age of sixtieth, he is still in good spirits and can handle anything. But if you really want to choose someone to make a reserve...... Doesn't this prove that his father's health is not very good?

"Miss Chu...... How can you be sure that this is the reason why my father would do this? No matter what he thought, Shen Junyu was still a little unacceptable, so he stared straight at Chu Jiangli and asked.

It's just that the questioning color in his tone is thick, as if it can seep out. But come to think of it, no one will like it, and others will say what happened to their father.

If you change to someone else and are asked in such a dissatisfied tone, you will either be angry or aggrieved, or you just don't want to talk to each other anymore. But Chu Jiang left at this time, but there was not even the slightest abnormality. She still maintained that atmospheric smile, and looked at Shen Junyu without blinking.

Being stared at by such a hot gaze, Shen Junyu didn't react at first, but as time went on, his sense of discomfort became stronger and stronger, and finally he had to shift his gaze a little and no longer confront her head-on.

It was precisely because of the deviation of his gaze that Shen Junyu began to calm down and carefully recall what Chu Jiangli said. And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that her words made sense, and he couldn't help but think more carefully.

Seeing that Shen Junyu finally stopped dwelling on some non-main clues in his words, Chu Jiangli also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Please she just analyzed whether it was good or not, but he actually noticed that something else had gone up.

So in order to reduce his sense of "hatred", he had to ask her to play a game of staring at her with big eyes, which is really ...... Her eyes hurt her brother-in-law's soreness.

Taking advantage of Shen Junyu's deep contemplation and inattention, Chu Jiangli quickly blinked his eyes twice, relieving the fatigue around his eyes. When she noticed Shen Junyu's abnormal movement, she immediately returned to her original expression and looked at him without blinking. It's as if she's been like this all along, and hasn't moved.

"Miss Chu......" shouted in a long voice, Shen Junyu originally wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to ask. It seems that no matter how he asks, the key to the final matter will turn to the physical condition of his father.

Seeing that Shen Junyu was so entangled, Chu Jiangli roughly understood what he was for. So in order to alleviate the embarrassment, she preemptively said: "Seventh Prince, have you forgotten our contract?" ”

Contract?

Shen Junyu was stunned for a moment, and did not react to Chu Jiangli's meaning.

But when he thought about the contents of the contract carefully, his face was so strange and weird.

Without waiting for Shen Junyu to say anything, Chu Jiangli continued: "It seems that this is what God meant. The content of the contract is no longer a constraint, but something that must be executed. ”

"Must be executed......" Shen Junyu muttered, his face slowly becoming calm. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, looked directly into Chu Jiangli's eyes, and said, "Miss Chu, are you really sure?" ”

"Hehe, Seventh Prince, no matter how unsure I am, don't you want to reach the peak that others look up to?" Chu Jiangli is always like this, unwilling to answer other people's questions head-on. She likes to mention points, but she doesn't like to point out. If you are a smart person, you will definitely understand what she means, and there will be no need for her to explain and work hard.

It can be said that Chu Jiangli's encouragement really made Shen Junyu a little excited. Reaching the top is what anyone desires, and he is no exception.

Thinking like this, the smile on Shen Junyu's face grew bigger and bigger, and he didn't stop until he grinned a little more and saw his teeth. Then, he also said vaguely: "Yes, the road to the peak, who doesn't want to break through......"

"Knock knock."

Before Shen Junyu finished speaking, a loud knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and then, Bai Yiwen's voice came from outside: "Lord Wang, Manager Su is here." ”

Su Wang? What is he here for?

Shen Junyu's brows furrowed, a little unclear. It is said that Su Wang is the person who serves his father and the emperor closely, and he is also the head of the palace, and he is usually troubled by affairs, unless it is necessary, he will not leave his father and leave the palace, how can he come to his mansion now.

After a little hesitation, Shen Junyu replied: "Okay, when I change into court clothes, I will go to see him." In Shen Junyu's heart, since Su Wang is here, he basically wants to pass on the decree, so of course he has to change his clothes first.

But as soon as his words fell, Bai Yiwen's voice came in again: "Lord Wang, Mr. Su is here in civilian clothes, you don't have to change your clothes." And Mr. Su said that he didn't come here to deliver the decree. ”

Coming in casual clothes? Not for the sake of preaching? Shen Junyu was even more strange, he was ...... What the hell is going on?

Compared with Shen Junyu's unknown reason, Chu Jiangli smelled a hint of something unusual. So she got up again, walked to Shen Junyu's side, looked in the direction of the door, and said softly with empty eyes: "Look, another unexplained anomaly." Dressed in civilian clothes, not for the sake of preaching, the chief of the inner court came to the palace to pay respects privately...... Lord Seven, what do you say, is this because of? ”

After a period of thinking, coupled with his calm mood, and his 19 years of training, Shen Junyu at this time had long lost his initial impulse and became calm.

Now that he heard Chu Jiangli say this, he also smiled slightly, got up from the stool, and said meaninglessly: "I have to go and see why I want to know why." ”

So saying, he went outside.

But before he had taken a few steps, Chu Jiangli stepped forward again, blocking his way. Then, the evil smiled and said softly: "Seventh Prince, since Manager Su is not here for official business, why don't you ask him to sit down for a while, take care of your father's recent situation, and do your filial piety as a son of man?" ”

Chu Jiangli's meaning is to take this opportunity to probe the tone of Manager Su. Then get more and more useful information from this person who is close to you.

Although Chu Jiangli said very simply, Shen Junyu also heard it very clearly, and as for the deeper things, he also understood it clearly.

So, the corners of his lips curled, and then he reached out and pointed in the direction of his bedroom, and said with a little apology: "In this case, please ask Miss Chu to go into the inner room for a while." ”

Let's not talk about other things, just the strange set of clothes on Chu Jiangli's body can't see people. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is still necessary to hide people first.

It seems that he really has to solve her identity problem quickly, especially to prepare a few sets of clothes for her first......

Knowing what Shen Junyu meant, Chu Jiangli raised his eyebrows, and then turned around directly, without feeling suspicious at all, he walked straight into his bedroom, and closed the door by the way.

Looking at Chu Jiangli, who was so informal, Shen Junyu couldn't tell what he was thinking now. It was only after he said it that he felt that something was wrong. But before he could correct his words, he had already seen Chu Jiangli walking towards his room, and he was immediately even more depressed.

But this depression didn't last long after all, Shen Junyu came back to his senses, and after straightening his clothes, he took a few steps forward to open the door, and said to Bai Yiwen: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes." responded briefly, Bai Yiwen did not have anything to say because he was gone, but still led the way for Shen Junyu according to his own duty. He didn't care at all where General Chu left, as long as his prince was fine, then nothing wanted to attract his attention.

After turning around, Bai Yiwen led Shen Junyu to the front hall. As soon as Shen Junyu entered the hall, he saw Su Wang dressed as a businessman in a ginger brocade robe, with his hands behind his back to the door, standing there quietly.

To be honest, Su Wang's sudden visit, Shen Junyu didn't feel bottomless in his heart. For him, it doesn't matter why Su Wang came, what matters is whether he can get words out of him.

Su Wang has always been by his father's side, and the head of the inner court has been doing it for thirty or forty years, so it can be said that he has long become an old fritter. Nothing he had ever seen, nothing he had ever experienced. If you want to play tricks in front of him, you have to be careful, otherwise the words won't come out, but you will reveal your details, but it's a big deal.

Shen Junyu stood at the door, took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and then walked into the hall freely, coughing lightly twice: "Ahem." ”
