Chapter 118: Selfishness
"It was when I went back home the day before yesterday that someone stopped me, she said that she was a person from Shiyue Building, and she had a bottle of Qili drunk in her hand to sell, and I was moved by the effect of the medicine, so I bought it." After Su Xiran finished speaking, Lian Zhi let go of her: "You have been deceived." ”
Su Xiran didn't believe it: "Impossible, you also said that this is Qili drunk." ”
"This is indeed Qili drunk, but the person who sells medicine can't be the person from Shiyue Tower, someone wants to borrow your hand to kill someone." Lian Zhi mocked, "You really have a big heart, if that person lied to you, it's not Qili drunk." Bengong died in the Su Mansion, didn't you think about the fate of the Su family? ”
"Do I have any other options?" Su Xiran asked, "As long as I can kill you, no matter the cost, I will do it." ”
Wen Zhiyu sat on the chair, he lowered his head and looked at Su Xiran who was lying on the ground, and asked expressionlessly: "You have always said that you like this king, but this king sees that you like power, if this king is not the crown prince, will you still beg to follow this king like this?" ”
Su Xiran asked, "That's how you see me?" ”
Wen Zhiyu sneered, his eyes were full of coldness, in this summer, Su Xiran couldn't help but shiver.
"When you teamed up with the queen to design this king, didn't you think that this king would be killed by you? Today, you poisoned the crown princess on your uncle's birthday, where did you put the Su family? ”
"The queen is willing to help me, I can only trust her. And if you miss this opportunity today, you don't know when the next time will be. Su Xiran argued.
Lian Zhi sat down on the chair next to Wen Zhiyu: "You keep saying that you hate this palace, but what you did was to hurt the prince first, and then implicate the Su family." Your liking for the crown prince is really scary, who is liked by someone like you, it is his misfortune, and it is also the misfortune of your family. ”
"You're talking nonsense." Su Xiran replied, "If it weren't for your appearance, how would I have come to this point?" ”
"Are you because of Hongu, no, it's your own greed and stupidity. The Su family has a century-old reputation, and everyone can take charge of it when they go out, but with a daughter like you, you have ruined the reputation of the Su family for generations, and it will also cause General Su to face the ancestors and ancestors without shame. ”
Su Jingshuo and Song Wenhua looked at Su Xiran, there was anger in their eyes, but they were more distressed and remorseful, as parents, no matter how unbearable their children were, they were still distressed after all.
"What happened to Miss Su, if it had been done according to the rules of the palace, she would have been given death a long time ago, and she would not have listened to her arguments at all. But this is in the Su family, this palace is given to the prince, and it is also a love for the Su family, Su Xiran's palace is handed over to your Su family to deal with by yourself, whether you live or die depends on yourself. ”
Su Jingxuan, Song Wenhua and Su Yixiao were red-faced by Lianzhi's words, if it weren't for Su Xiran being the daughter of the Su family, they wouldn't be able to look down on themselves, but Su Xiran was born in the Su family and developed today's temperament.
Song Wenhua asked, "Are the crown prince and the crown princess going back to the palace?" ”
Lianzhi asked, "If we go back to the palace now, what will those guests outside think?" ”
In the past, Wen Zhiyu would go back after dinner, but if she went back now, I was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of outsiders.
Lian Zhi thought very thoughtfully for the Su family, and Song Wenhua felt even more ashamed: "The crown princess has made all the faces for our Su family, and we will definitely give the crown princess an answer." ”
"Today is General Su's birthday, how can there be a reason why the host's family does not go out to receive guests, Mrs. is fine as usual." Lianzhi said.
Su Jingxuan shouted: "Come on, take the young lady to the ancestral hall and lock her up." ”
Su Xiran has been struggling, Su Jingxuan directly found two soldiers to drag Su Xiran down, this time, Su Jingxuan was also angry.
Su Yixiao accompanied Song Wenhua to receive the guests, while Su Jingxuan stayed to accompany Lianzhi and Wen Zhiyu to talk.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Su Jingxuan immediately knelt down in front of Lianzhi, and Lianzhi hurriedly went to pull Su Jingxuan: "General Su, what are you doing?" ”
"Crown Princess, I know that you won't accept my worship in front of people, so I deliberately waited for people to leave. I want to thank you for thinking about the Su family, you have to accept this worship. ”
Hearing Su Jingxuan say this, Lianzhi let go and didn't stop again.
"Today, the crown princess has saved face for the Su family and maintained the reputation of the Su family for a hundred years. This worship is my gratitude to the crown princess on behalf of the ancestors of the Su family. After Su Jingshuo finished speaking, he kowtowed to Lianzhi, and Lianzhi felt in his heart: "General Su, please get up." ”
But Su Jingxuan immediately bowed again: "This worship is my father's gratitude to you for rescuing Yixiao many times, so that the bloodline of the Su family continues." ”
Su Jingxuan bowed down again: "This last bow is to apologize to the crown princess for my uncompetitive daughter." It was Su's fault that I didn't raise my daughter well and harmed the prince and the princess, but I still wanted the princess to think about my Su family. ”
Lianzhi looked at Wen Zhixuan, and Wen Zhixuan immediately went to pull Su Jingxuan up: "Uncle, why are you doing this?" ”
"I have been bright and upright in my life, and I have never done anything hurtful to heaven and reason, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this age. also let the crown prince and the crown princess worry about the Su family, I, as an uncle, am sorry for you. Su Jingxuan's face was full of shame.
Wen Zhiyu helped Su Jingxuan sit down: "Uncle, this king knows that you are a little sorry for Su Xiran, and you didn't grow up with her since you were a child, so now you want to be doubly good to her." But what is there in this world that is truly perfect? ”
"The Su family is a heroic martyr, when I, my wife and Yixiao were in the frontier, I didn't even think about coming back alive, and I stayed in the capital to hope that she could live well. It's because I think it's wrong, I used to think that giving Xi Ran a free life is the best way to make up for her, but today I know that freedom is not something we can give, she is trapped by resentment, what should I do in this life? Su Jingshuo sighed.
Wen Zhiyu returned to sit down next to Lianzhi, and Lianzhi spoke: "General Su, this palace admires you very much for fighting on the battlefield for Western Chu, and because of this admiration, you are willing to maintain the face of the Su family." You are the general who guards the country and the uncle of the crown prince, and these two identities, no matter which one they are, are very eye-catching, so you have to do a better job so that others can't find faults. ”
Su Jingshuo was silent for a moment: "What the crown princess said is very true, but I used to see it too narrowly. ”
Lianzhi didn't say anything more: "But there is a place to rest, I'm a little tired." ”
Su Jingxuan hurriedly asked people to take Lianzhi and Wen Zhiyu to rest, and he went to the front hall to greet the guests.
"You specially mentioned your uncle today, so that he couldn't punish Su Xiran lightly." Wen Zhiyu sat down and said after everyone left.
Lian Zhi wasn't really tired, but she didn't want to face Su Jingxuan anymore, so she made an excuse, and now only she and Wen Zhixuan were left, but she felt a lot more comfortable: "I am also for the good of the Su family, if Su Xiran's temperament is not restrained, sooner or later he will kill the Su family." ”
"You are still kind-hearted and saved her life."
"How can anyone shout and kill their daughter in front of their parents?"
"You left Su Xiran at the disposal of your uncle and aunt because you knew that they couldn't bear to kill her. Are you sure you want to let her go once? ”
"I didn't think about drinking that cup of tea from the beginning, because I didn't believe that Su Xiran would apologize to me at all." Lian Zhi changed his sitting posture, "Leaving her alive is because the Su family owes me more favors." ”
"Why?"
"Because the Su family is more inclined to the orthodox imperial power than to help you." Lianzhi said, "General Su is a bit stupid and loyal, he is actually on the emperor's side, if one day you stand on the opposite side of the emperor, General Su will definitely choose the emperor, not you." ”
"He's my uncle after all." Wen Zhixuan has stayed away from the Su family for so many years, and the deeper reason is because Wen Zhixuan knows that Su Jingxuan is the one who stands on Wen Xize's side, so he can't believe it too much.
"What I'm more curious about now is, what kind of person is your biological mother, that is, the first queen, is she very similar to General Su?" Lianzhi asked.
Wen Zhiyu shook his head: "I don't know how to say it, in my impression, the queen mother is a very gentle woman, she puts her father first in everything, and this temperament is the same as that of her uncle." But then the queen mother seems to have changed, she did something I couldn't imagine, if I let my father know, I'm afraid even the Su family will be eradicated. Wen Zhiyu paused, "Actually, something should have happened that made the queen mother change her previous thoughts." When I was a child, I would miss my mother, but when I grew up, I felt that it was better for my mother to leave early, so that I didn't have to fall into a dilemma. ”
Lian Zhi was surprised by what Wen Zhiyu said, she looked at Wen Zhiyu in surprise, Wen Zhiyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "Do you think that I am too cold and have such thoughts about the departure of the queen mother?" ”
