After speaking, the four princes also waved their hands, signaling that the little guy who carried the box before could leave.

Su Jinyao was curious: "How did it change all the time?" I'm curious what you wanted to tell me right now. ”

"Hehe" The fourth prince scratched the back of his head and looked left and right.

Su Jinyao also looked left and right, understood, and said, "Accept your war python, I will ask Mingjuan and Mingrui to go and get some refreshments." ”

When the fourth prince heard the promise, he played the piccolo. The pythons immediately obediently crawled back into the box.

Mingjuan and Mingrui bypassed the box where the war python was staying far away and hurried out of the door.

Mr. Pan also had eyes, knowing that the four princes and Su Jinyao were actually retreating, so he gave a deep salute and said that he was going out to breathe.

But think about it, Mr. Pan has been tied up by the four princes for a long time, and he is still stuffed in a box, and he really needs to move.

After everyone else left, the fourth prince smiled and said, "Actually, I originally wanted the eldest brother to help me talk about it, so that my father would not make me the crown prince." But now, it seems that it is not needed. ”

"You don't want to be the crown prince?" Su Jinyao frowned, thinking that she had mistaken the order and missed something?

"I didn't think much of it." The fourth prince found a chair and dragged it over and placed it next to Su Jinyao's rocking chair. After sitting down, the two calves were still kicking one by one, looking very casual.

He said: "At first, my brother fought with the eldest brother. But when my brother is gone, I always feel that I should replace him and do something for my mother. In addition, the queen may promise me some conditions, and I will agree to go all the way with her. But I didn't do anything sorry for my father, I just expressed my hope that my father would let my mother go, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it well in this palace, and I would definitely make a fuss about this palace. ”

Let Xiluo'er wait for him for three years

In Su Jinyao's opinion, the words of the fourth prince are nine points credible, and there is no need for him to tell lies at this time.

Su Jinyao nodded and motioned for him to continue.

The fourth prince said again: "My father doesn't want to be distracted by the affairs of the harem, not to mention that I make trouble with those Gu worms and war pythons, which are really difficult to deal with, so I agreed to let my mother go." However, the concubine didn't know about it, she only received the secret order later, so she hasn't come back yet. ”

Speaking of this, the expression of the fourth prince was also a little gloomy. Presumably because the second prince and Yugui will leave, he is the only one left in the palace and uncomfortable.

Su Jinyao listened, reached out and touched the head of the fourth prince to show comfort. After all, he is still a child, and his loved ones are not around, so he will be sad and lonely.

The fourth prince was very sensitive, so he immediately shook his head pretending to be strong, and changed the topic: "But I didn't propose to be the crown prince at that time. As for the father's abolition of the eldest brother's crown prince, it is actually a condition that the queen and her father negotiated. I don't know the details. ”

Now Su Jinyao understands why she said to her face that the four princes were being used by the queen, and he was furious.

It seems that the fourth prince is indeed a little more child-minded, and he didn't think too much about it at the time, so he went to the emperor to make trouble, and he didn't think that the consequences would be so serious.

The emperor must also feel that the conditions he proposed were not too excessive, so he agreed.

Moreover, Yu Guiren has not been favored in the palace for a long time, but he has always played the role of being used, in fact, in the eyes of the emperor, he has long been dispensable.

The queen took the opportunity to use the power of her mother's family to put pressure on the emperor, and the emperor abolished the prince on the grounds that Gu Xuebin left his post without permission.

It is estimated that the queen is thinking that if things are done, she can sit and reap the benefits. If the matter is revealed, she can also push it on the head of the Yu Guiren, saying that the Yu Guiren instigated the four princes to compete for the throne.

It's just that I didn't expect Su Jinyao not to pursue the deposed prince for this matter. Instead, he started with Imperial Doctor Chen and directly began to investigate the murder of Concubine Rong a year ago, which caught the queen off guard.

No wonder when Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin returned to Beijing, the emperor was not controlled by the queen, it can be seen that the queen has not torn her face with the emperor.

Think about it this way, and everything makes sense.

Su Jinyao said: "Since you didn't want to be the prince, why did you agree now?" ”

The fourth prince pursed his lips, and a pair of small hands unconsciously helped his back, as if he remembered the scene when Gu Xuebin beat him on the ass.

Then he said: "I know that the prince is not so easy to be. If I become a person, I may be abolished, but it is a lesson from the past, how can I do the drudgery myself? But now that the imperial sister-in-law has found me a good teacher, and promised to return Xiluo'er to me in three years, I agreed. ”

Uh-uh! Su Jinyao was covered in cold sweat, feeling that she was really putting the cart before the horse?

Or is it that the brothers of the Cang clan all have a red face, as long as it is about the woman they like, they can do anything?

Back then, Gu Xuebin was also entangled in whether to come back and be this prince. Later, I thought that if I wanted to give Su Jinyao the best in the world, there was nothing more than the whole country, so I came back to be the prince.

Now the fourth prince also roughly means this, as long as he returns the joy pendant to him, he would rather come to be the prince.

Can it be understood that the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Cloud Dome Country were in the hands of Gu Xuebin in the previous era, because of Su Jinyao.

/>

The latter era will be in the hands of the four princes, Cang Qianyuan, for a happy fall?

It's messed up, it's messy. Who said the Four Princes were still a child? Children shouldn't have such deep love, right? Or is this bear child too precocious?

Su Jinyao held her forehead, but the fourth prince said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, can you let me see Xiluo'er now?" I won't take her away, but I want to tell her and let her wait for me for three years. ”

Poof, another three years. Is it true that couples are always separated by three years?

Su Jinyao suddenly looked at the serious face of the fourth prince, and thought of whether Gu Xuebin had been working hard for himself again and again?

Such a little couple, how could Su Jinyao bear to separate them?

But......

"You teach me how to drive these war pythons first, and then I'll let you see Xiluo'er." Su Jinyao is not unconditional.

As soon as the fourth prince saw that there was a door, he immediately took out the piccolo again and explained to Su Jinyao the tune of controlling the war python.

A few small tunes are not difficult to learn, and Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin have learned the imperial bird, so they will soon be able to command the battle python.

The fourth prince said again: "The jade flute whistle of the eldest brother is more convenient for controlling beasts. So the imperial sister-in-law only needs to use that jade flute whistle to play, and the war python will be more obedient after becoming proficient. ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then the same is true of your method of controlling Gu?" ”

"Yes, it's a different tone. There is no fixed syllable for this, in fact, you just need to observe carefully, see what kind of instructions your Gu worms and little beasts are used to, and adjust the length and frequency of the tone according to the same syllables. ”

It's no wonder that the Four Princes are the geniuses of the Imperial Gu, it is estimated that this kid is very talented in music, so he can use simple tools to manipulate the Gu worms and war pythons.

Su Jinyao studied for a while and made sure that these war pythons could really listen to her command, so she asked someone to find Qiu Ying and Xi Shen'er.

As soon as Xi Shen'er came, he frowned when he saw the fourth prince, and a little face that was not particularly beautiful was about to drip out of sorrow.

It can be seen that Xi Luo'er does not have a good impression of the four princes. It is probably because the fourth prince always teased her when she was in the palace.

Just like now, obviously begging Su Jinyao to bring Xi Shen'er and ask to see even one person.

But when Xi Zhuo'er came, the four princes had a cold face, and first ridiculed Xi Zhuo'er for being fat recently, and his face was round.

Then he strongly wanted to see the golden python raised by Xi Shen'er, and then said what kind of owner has what kind of pet, this golden fat man is too similar to Xi Shen'er's current appearance.

Speaking of which, there is really no good word, and he doesn't say a word about what Xi Shen'er said, and his eyes are full of disgust. I wish the four princes would hurry up and walk away.

Su Jinyao was also secretly funny, thinking that the way boys express their liking is really special.

The more girls you really like, the more you have to behave like fierce and uncaring.

But what you do for each other behind your back, and you are willing to give all your emotions for each other, can really make people sweet to the bone.

Su Jinyao just watched silently and didn't say anything.

Wait for the fourth prince to touch the nail on Xiluo'er's side, and slowly learn how to pamper girls.

If it is like his eldest brother Gu Xuebin, it is estimated that sooner or later it will come to pass.

Mingcui is back

The fourth prince talked for a while, and Xi Shen'er finally couldn't help it. He pouted his mouth and said, "I'm tired." The four princes were fine, and the slaves and maids retired. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the fourth prince to say anything, he turned around and grabbed the corner of Qiu Ying's clothes and hid behind Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying also saw a rough idea, and vaguely knew that the fourth prince really liked Xiluo'er in his heart.

But she can't help Xiluo'er if she wants to leave, no one can help with this kind of thing, so she has to see when she opens up to Huanxi's enemies.

When Qiu Ying and Xi Shen'er left, the four princes looked at the backs of the two in a daze. After a while, he said, "Oh, it's useless to say something, I forgot to let her wait for me with peace of mind." ”

Su Jinyao laughed when she heard it. said: "It's better if you don't say it's better, Xiluo'er is still young, and he has no other thoughts, so he won't run away." If you do, she'll be scared out, and she'll probably hide and never see you again. ”

When Su Jinyao said this, the four princes were also startled. Thinking about Xi Shen'er's ignorance of him, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

It can be seen that this kid really hasn't learned how to spoil girls. He's still just at the stage where he bullies you when he's nice to you, and he only likes to pull your braids and say you're ugly.

Su Jinyao said: "Don't worry, Xiluo'er will follow me, and I will help you watch her." Go back, study hard with Mr. Pan in Feng Fuhao, don't be naughty. ”

The fourth prince agreed, and took his leave to leave.

After thinking about it, he said to Su Jinyao: "Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Xiluo'er." She looked much better now, less skinny, and a little more temperamental, and not so submissive anymore. Please don't hold her back, if you have any conditions or don't like it, I will repay you for her when I go back. ”

said this, as if Su Jinyao took the joy pendant just to wait for the fourth prince to repay.

However, what the four princes said also makes sense. Grab a good card, there is absolutely no reason not to use it.

Therefore, if there is a chance for the four princes to repay him, Su Jinyao will not refuse.

But just when the four princes were really leaving, but they hadn't left yet, Mingrui ran back crying. And as soon as he entered the door, he knelt in front of Su Jinyao with a "plop".

Su Jinyao was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Mingrui, what's wrong?" ”

"Master, you, you have to be the master of Mingcui. She, she's back. Mingrui said as tears flowed down her face.

Su Jinyao's heart also moved, her eyebrows and heart jumped, and Gu Xuebin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping before resurfaced in front of her.

It seems that Mingcui is not only bad, but also very bad.

Su Jinyao pressed Mingrui's shoulder and said, "Help me go over and take a look." ”

Mingrui agreed, got up and supported Su Jinyao with both hands. But her tears kept falling, and she had to wipe her tears from time to time to see the road ahead.

The fourth prince did not go out further, but retreated to the door again, and followed behind Su Jinyao when she went out.

It seems that the fourth prince also wants to see how the slave who was captured by him is doing.

Su Jinyao knew that the four princes were following, but she didn't stop it, and she didn't mean to be angry with him.

The fourth prince did arrest Mingcui and the Lin siblings, but even if he didn't make a move, there would be others around Su Jinyao who would be victimized.

In short, the queen is already

stared at the people around Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin, just to see who was more unlucky and would fall into the hands of the queen.

Su Jinyao and Mingrui didn't go far, and Mingjuan also hurriedly walked over, walked to the other side of Su Jinyao, and held each other with both hands.

Su Jinyao saw that Mingjuan's eyes were also red, and her brows were furrowed with indignation, but she finally controlled her emotions.

Su Jinyao asked Mingjuan in a low voice: "Where are the people placed?" Are the Lin siblings back too? ”

Mingjuan replied, "Yes, they are all back and placed in our room in the backyard." Mr. Yue personally sent it back. However, we carried people in with our front feet, and Mr. Yue left without even entering the door. said that he was in a hurry to return to the palace to restore his life. ”

Resurrection? Let's dodge.

Presumably, Manager Yue saw that Mingcui's situation was not good, and he didn't dare to stay here too much, so he ran away without even entering the door.

As he spoke, he had already arrived in the backyard and went straight to the house where Mingjuan and the others usually rested.

Walking to the door, Mingjuan stopped, gently pulled Su Jinyao, and said, "Master, why don't you go back to the house to rest for a while, and then I'll ask Mingcui again, and then reply to you?" ”

Su Jinyao knew that Mingjuan must not want to let herself see Mingcui's tragic situation. He said, "Don't forget, I'm a healer." Maybe I can help her. ”

Mingrui kept shedding tears, and now she was even more anxious: "Sister Mingjuan, you can ask the master to go in and have a look." Maybe the master can really save Mingcui. ”

Mingjuan gritted her teeth and agreed. However, she turned her head again and said to the four princes who had been following them: "This is our slave's house, it is really not clean enough, please ask the four princes to rest in other halls." There's nothing lively to see here. ”

This means that the four princes are clearly not allowed to enter the door. It is estimated that he is also blaming the relationship between the four princes and Mingcui and them.

It was rare for the fourth prince not to be angry or angry, he just nodded, and then said to Su Jinyao: "Imperial sister-in-law, then I'll wait at the flower pavilion." ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and didn't have the heart to say anything more to the four princes at this time, so she reached out and pushed the door and walked into the house.

There was a low sobbing sound in the room, and there was a smell of blood mixed with medicine.

Su Jinyao sniffed and already smelled it, this was the medicine prepared by Lin Xiuqing. Lin Xiuqing should have treated Mingcui's wounds.

Because Mingjuan, Mingrui and Mingcui are the big maids around Su Jinyao, their status is also the first of all the maids in this prince's mansion. The place to live is naturally much better than that of ordinary maids.

Although the three of them lived together, the room was a suite inside and out, and it was very spacious.

So after Su Jinyao entered the door, she couldn't directly see the situation in the back room. Mingjuan first shouted: "Mingcui, the master has come to see you." ”

There was no sound of Mingcui's answer coming from the room, but a "plop" sound, like the sound of something or someone falling.

Su Jinyao frowned, and said to Mingrui: "You go in and have a look, let Mingcui not move." ”

When Mingrui heard this, she let out a "wow" and cried even louder. Then he said: "It's not Mingcui, it should be that Lin Xiuxiu." ”

At the same time, Lin Xiuqing's voice was also heard, "Sister, don't worry, I will help you over to see Master immediately." ”

It seems that it was really Lin Xiuxiu who fell just now.

However, Su Jinyao couldn't help but wonder, since Xiuxiu was also in the house, why didn't she talk to herself for a long time?

Make a hard note of hatred for the queen

Just thinking about it, Mingrui had already lifted the curtain and entered the house first. But she hadn't forgotten her duty, so she pulled the curtain back and pinned it with a brass hook before she walked in.

At the same time, Su Jinyao was also able to see the situation in the house.

Lin Xiuxiu had already fallen in a low voice, with a long mouth but no sound, looking at Su Jinyao with tears on her face. And the lying posture is very strange, and I can't move.

Lin Xiuqing was sitting on the edge of the bed opposite, holding a few silver needles in her hands, and was acupuncture Mingcui on the bed.

However, because Lin Xiuqing's body was covered, Su Jinyao couldn't see Qing Cui's condition for a while.

After Mingrui entered the house, she helped Lin Xiuxiu up first. Lin Xiuxiu's body was stiff, her hands were twitching like chicken feet, and her nails were black and brown.

Su Jinyao was so anxious that she hurriedly took two steps forward and entered the house.

Mingjuan was also afraid that Su Jinyao would fall or be injured again, so she hurriedly said, "Master, slow down." It's all here, and there's no hurry. ”

Su Jinyao said "um", and her steps were still very fast. She hesitated slightly, and came to Lin Xiuxiu's side first.

It's not that Su Jinyao is eccentric, but she thinks that Lin Xiuqing is already looking at Mingcui, so she should treat another one in line with the obligation of a doctor.
