The old emperor snorted coldly, bowed his head and said, "Do you know that even the crown prince rarely has the opportunity to share dinner with me at the same table. ”

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the old emperor a little speechlessly, daring to love this iron-masked king who was extremely noble in front of him, but he still needed someone else to give him face to eat with him in private.

"Princess Chen, please." The housekeeper didn't know when she had already taken a pair of chopsticks, respectfully placed them in front of Su Wan, and said with low eyebrows: "If you don't dislike it, please let the old slave cook for you." ”

"I thank you in advance, just give me something light." Su Wan nodded a little embarrassedly, since the subordinate had already said so, it was not good for her to refuse again, otherwise she would be stingy.

The old emperor drank a spoonful of porridge and mockingly hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Are the subordinates of King Chen's Mansion incompetent?" Why does Princess Chen seem to be rarely served? ”

Su Wan pursed his lips, and instead of greeting the open guns and arrows thrown by the old emperor, he lowered his head and began to enjoy the food. She has always hated the feeling of being hugged by others, and she will never let her subordinates interfere in the things she can do, where are these people from the heavenly family who have to be served in everything for food, dress, and clothing.

After eating a few bites, the old emperor turned around and took out a towel from the tray held by the maid kneeling next to him, wiped his hands elegantly, looked sideways at Su Wan and asked with a slight smile: "Did you encounter any frustration in the palace just now?" ”

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the soup spoon did not tremble, and looked at the old emperor vigilantly and said, "Father, where did you start?" ”

In line with the principle that more things are better than less, Su Wan originally didn't plan to tell the old emperor about her conflict with Su Jin today, and she was not a person who liked to tell right and wrong, and she never spoke quickly.

Seeing that Su Wan didn't speak, the old emperor smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Is it the queen who provoked you?" ”

With a "snap", the jade spoon in Su Wan's hand fell into the bowl, making a crisp sound. Su Wan looked at the old emperor in disbelief and said in a lost voice, "How do you know?" ”

The old emperor looked at Su Wan with interest, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's really strange, I have never seen a woman who can't wait to sue, and I have never seen a situation that the bitter master deliberately concealed. ”

Su Wan moved the corners of his mouth, shook his head a little unnaturally and said, "It's not a big deal, and I can't be called a bitter master." ”

"As soon as the queen left with her front foot, you came with your back foot, and you still looked like you were going to eat people, so I just guessed along the water." The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.

"The queen is still here with you?" Su Wan was a little surprised, and then asked uncertainly, "That...... Have you seen the Imperial Concubine too? ”

The old emperor rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "The queen just presented me with her decree agreeing to canonize Su Jin as the imperial concubine, and I didn't see Su Jin. I forgot about this stubble, then Su Jin is your sister, right? ”

While speaking, the old emperor already had an answer in his heart, he thought that Su Wan saw Su Jin flying on the branch and turning into a phoenix, and he was inevitably unhappy.

"You made her wear a big red costume at a time like this?" Su Wan smiled dumbly, and inadvertently said his question.

"Oh? Su Jin was so anxious that she immediately put on the auspicious clothes I gave her? The old emperor's hand holding the teacup also trembled slightly, and he looked at Su Wan with some surprise on his face and asked.

"Not only did she put it on, but she also swaggered around the palace, and she must not take it off when she went to Cining Palace." Su Wan saw that the matter had been explained, so she was not ready to hide it, but directly provoked and said: "The queen mother is by her side, and she didn't say anything to stop it." ”

Hearing this, the old emperor's face had become ugly, he slapped the table hard, and shouted in a low voice: "Presumptuous." ”

These two words seemed to have the power of thunder, and all the subordinates of the entire Heart Cultivation Hall immediately knelt down when they heard the sound.

"Is Su Jin really so bold? The queen actually connived at her? The old emperor stood up from the chair with his hands behind his back, coughed twice in anger, and whispered, "I'm not dead yet!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry!" Seeing the old emperor coughing, the housekeeper's father-in-law stood up anxiously, hunched over and patted the old emperor's back, and whispered comfortingly: "There may be some misunderstanding here, don't be in a hurry to get angry." ”

The housekeeper also glanced at Su Wan anxiously, and said curtly: "Princess, you can also say something, don't let Your Majesty be angry again." ”

Su Wan spread his hands, looked at the old emperor lightly and said, "Maybe I'm wrong, it's windy today, maybe I mistakenly saw Yanghua as the red dress of the imperial concubine." ”

The father-in-law in charge was a little anxious, he didn't expect Su Wan to give such a casual answer, so he had to say to the old emperor as if flattering: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Cining Palace to see, what's going on?" ”

"No need." The old emperor turned his back coldly with a calm face, and said in a low voice, "I will go and see it myself!" ”

"Father, are you going to trap me in injustice by doing this?" Su Wan sighed heavily, slowly got up and grabbed the old emperor's arm, patted a wisp of floating ash on his chest and said, "If I were you, I would hurry up and take care of my body, and then go to rectify the affairs of the harem after my spirit is better." ”

"If I wait, they don't know how to be lawless!" The old emperor was really angry, and coughed twice as he spoke, coughing up a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

"No matter how big the harem matter is, it's just a family matter, but if you have a physical mistake in your father, it will be a state affair that will be delayed." Su Wan helped the old emperor on the chair, soothed his back twice, and said: "How to weigh the pros and cons of the two, my father should know better than me." ”

The old emperor pressed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and said, "Even if I don't go, you can go to Su Jin and summon me now!" I must ask her face to face where she got the guts! ”

At this point, this is already the most compromise solution. Su Wan sighed, turned to the father-in-law in charge and said, "Why don't you follow your father's instructions?" ”

"Yes, yes." The housekeeper's father-in-law nodded hurriedly and leaned over and walked out.

"Since the imperial concubine is coming later, it is inconvenient for my daughter-in-law to be present to disturb me." Su Wan pursed his lips, turned his head sideways and said, "I will go to the Royal Dragon Pavilion to rest at night, and I will continue to accompany you tomorrow morning, and you can summon me at any time if you have something at night." ”

"Hmph, I said before that I would never leave my side, and in the blink of an eye, I was going to run and fight with King Chen's sideburns." The old emperor glared at Su Wan, waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly." ”

Su Wan responded loudly, turned his head and took a happy step. Strange to say, through this illness, the distance between her and the old emperor seems to have been shortened a lot, and it is no longer as tense as before.

Probably because people are dying, their words are also good, and the old emperor finally understands now that only Su Wan has the ability to save him.

Not long after Su Wan left, the housekeeper's father-in-law came back with Su Jin.

At this moment, Su Jin had already changed into a plain coarse cotton robe, walked in with a fine lotus step, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The old emperor reclined on the bed, raised his hand and said, "Come here." ”

The old emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her without speaking, but the cold gloomy owl in his eyes gradually deepened.

Due to the death of the queen mother, the palace was full of white lanterns, and the palace road was cold and silent.

The third prince was in the special mourning hall of the prince's villa, keeping vigil for the queen mother until midnight, and took advantage of the cover of night to secretly come to the vicinity of Su Jin's bedroom.

The Queen Mother is dead, and the physical condition of her father is also declining, and it is a terrible thing for the crown prince to be vacant. The third prince resented the death of the prince in his heart, and at the same time resented his father's partiality, according to the previous rules, as the son of the queen's concubine, he was the best candidate for the prince, but the old emperor actually wanted to directly set up Xiao Mochen as the prince, and he simply didn't take him seriously.

The lights in Su Jin's dormitory had been extinguished, and the third prince arrived at the door of the dormitory familiarly, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly three times, paused, and knocked three more times.

This is a special method of agreement between the third prince and Su Jin, and only the other two know about it.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the room. The third prince furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and his heart became a little uneasy. Before he came here, he deliberately made a detour to Cining Palace and found that except for a few concubines in the main house, the queen and Su Jin were not there.

It stands to reason that Su Jin should have gone back to her bedroom to rest, after all, the ceremony of her canonization as the imperial concubine would be held the next morning. Where exactly did she go?

The third prince's heart was a little more nervous, although there was no one around, he still didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the attention of others.

"Jin'er? Jin'er! The third prince lowered his voice and shouted twice.

There was still a dead silence in the dark house, not even a trace of movement, so quiet that it made people feel cold.

The third prince frowned, heard the sound of beating the eunuch from a distance, and immediately shrunk his neck in fright. In order to avoid being spotted here, he was ready to leave.

At this moment, the door behind him was quietly opened. Under the moonlight, Su Jin was wearing white silk pajamas and looked at the three princes with a bloodless face.

When the third prince heard the door open, he was originally happily greeted him, but he didn't expect to see Su Jin staring at him with empty eyes, as if he was a puppet who had lost his soul.

"Jin'er, what's wrong with you?" The third prince was a little frightened, and asked cautiously.

Su Jin didn't speak, opened her chapped lips slightly, and rolled her eyes, like a lonely ghost who had been captive with all her life force.

Seeing that the footsteps of the watchman were getting closer and closer, the third prince didn't have time to think more, so he took Su Jin's hand and went back to the house, closing the door firmly by the way.

"Jin'er, ...... you" The third prince stretched out his hand nervously, trembling and wanting to touch Su Jin's shoulder.

"Ahh The moment the third prince's fingertips touched Su Jin's shoulder, Su Jin felt like he had been beaten by electricity, his whole body spasmed, and he shrunk and hugged his arm.

"Who did this!" The third prince blurted out this sentence, and after a moment, his eyes widened violently.

Su Jin mockingly hooked the corners of her mouth, pulled her collar, and said lightly: "Who else can there be?" ”

"Why would he do that?" The Third Prince shook his head in disbelief and asked in fear, "Could it be that he found out what we did?" ”

"Then why did he ......" The third prince muttered a few words, but was interrupted by Su Jin in a cold voice.

"Because he wants to." Su Jin turned his head sideways, looked at the Third Prince like a lifeless wood, and said, "Because he is the Ninety-Five Supreme Saint, anyone else in front of him is just like an ant." ”

The third prince's eyes flickered, and he understood the meaning of Su Jin's words in an instant. That's right, this tyrannical and moody old emperor, except for those who he particularly valued, everyone is a pawn played by him between applause.

"If we don't do it, we just poison this old thing with the same method, anyway, his health is not good, and no one can suspect us when he dies, and when the time comes, let the imperial doctor say that the death of the queen mother is too much blow, and depression becomes a disease." Su Jin sighed, snuggled up to the third prince's body, and said through gritted teeth.

The third prince stroked Su Jin's back and comforted Su Jin, and his heart was the same as Su Jin's thoughts, but he still hesitated and said: "This matter is very important, we still need to think about it in the long run, we can't leave any flaws, and we can't be noticed by Xiao Mochen." ”

"You just have to give me the medicine from last time, and you don't have to worry about the rest, I'll do all the rest." Su Jin hugged the arm of the third prince, raised his head high and said with a smile.

Although Su Jin had a clear smile on his face, in the eyes of the third prince, it made him instantly feel extremely cold.

After hesitating again and again, the third prince knew Su Jin's ruthlessness and ability, so he gritted his teeth and took out a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to Su Jin, and said in a low voice: "Be careful in everything, the relevant personnel must deal with it, and you can tell me where you need my cooperation." ”

"Well, you shouldn't need to meddle in this matter, and I'll naturally find a competent helper tomorrow." Su Jin snatched the medicine powder packet from the third prince's hand, hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Do you still have a helper?" The third prince was a little surprised, and at the same time whispered very carefully: "This matter can't involve more people to know!" ”

Su Jin smiled evilly, glanced at the third prince and said, "That helper is the queen mother of the world, your biological mother." ”

The third prince instantly froze in place, looked at Su Jin in a daze, and couldn't say a word.

Su Jin smiled and carefully put away the medicine powder packet, took the hand of the third prince and said softly: "I can't wait to imagine the happy days after the death of that old thing, once we are in power, we will never be wronged again, and we can also deal with people who are disgusted, without any mercy!" ”。

For Su Jin, the imaginary enemy that came to her mind was Su Wan; For the third prince, his enemy is Xiao Mochen alone.
