Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Trap
"This Cai family can't stay any longer."
"Old lady."
Weaving embroidery walked out of the apse, and she heard the conversation between Mrs. Su and Cai's just now. She should have come out earlier, but she was really shocked in her heart, so that she only had the courage to walk in front of Old Taijun Su now.
"I know what you want to ask, it was my fault and Cai's fault back then. Is it important to figure out the facts now? The important thing is that the Cai family will harm me and Su Fu. ”
Old Taijun Su looked extremely calm, her face was already full of wrinkles, and after so many years, she once again revealed that long-lost murderous aura.
"Yes, leave this matter to the slave and maid." Weaving and embroidery bent down.
There were a thousand doubts in my heart, and in the end they were all replaced by this faithfulness.
She had been by Mrs. Su's side for too long, so long that she had forgotten to question Mrs. Su's decision.
Su Jianwu didn't expect that Youjia Shuning would return to Su Mansion again in such a way.
The scene of her departure is still clearly engraved in his mind, he has fantasized about the way Youjia Shuning came back countless times, but he didn't expect that it would be so many years later, to welcome her spiritual throne back home.
If everything were given another chance, would he choose to pick her up before she died?
Su Jianwu closed his eyes in pain, not daring to think about everything that had happened.
"Master, the palace has come to the decree, and the emperor has summoned you to the palace for an audience."
Su Jianwu was stunned, his sharp eyes opened in an instant, and then he stood up from the desk, "Change clothes." ”
"Yes." Hou's maid outside the study came in.
From the emperor's holy decree to canonize Youjia Shuning, Su Jianwu locked himself in the study for a longer time, and his face became more and more ugly day by day, the maid trembled, and after walking in softly to change his clothes for him, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and retreated to the door again to wait.
In the palace, the news that the emperor summoned Su Jianwu disappeared, and everyone from all sides was looking forward to it, not knowing what the emperor wanted.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Yun Huannan dropped the last chess piece, and Wang Zhen said: "Your Majesty, General Su is waiting outside the door." ”
"Hmm." Yun Zhuhu nodded, as if he wanted to have another game, Yun Zhunan took the chess pieces back into the urn, "Brother Huang should see General Su first, the younger brother is a little tired, just go back to rest first." ”
Yun Folded Hu was stunned, "That's okay, you have time to come to the palace to play with me, you know, if you don't come, I basically won't relax." ”
"Brother obeys."
Yun Huannan walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and happened to see Su Jianwu standing outside the door.
"See the Seventeenth Prince."
"Well, General Su, please. General Su was in such a hurry to come over, did you think about why the imperial brother passed you on along the way? ”
Su Jianwu was slightly stunned, bowed and did not stand up straight, and said: "The minister doesn't know, I still hope that the prince will make it clear." ”
"What power does this king have to show you?" Yun Huanan smiled lightly, obviously there were no superfluous words, but it made people faintly feel the pressure, Su Jianwu had been fighting for many years, and this subtle difference was naturally noticed.
In addition, Yun Huannan values Su Ningxue now, and he must be dissatisfied with him, a father who does not love Su Ningxue.
"The minister is afraid, it is a blessing for the minister to be guided by the prince."
"Huh." Yun Huanan laughed again, "I haven't seen General Su for many days, but he can speak." Since you have said this, it seems that it is not good for this king not to say something. Yun Huanan raised his feet and stepped forward, stopped at Su Jianwu's side, leaned over slightly, and approached Su Jianwudao:
"This king hopes that General Su will not ruin the loyalty he has built up in the heart of the imperial brother for many years. You must know that the royal brother believes in a person, and even if that person commits the crime of defrauding the king, he may not be severely punished; But if you don't believe it...... General Su, you said that if you were the emperor's brother, how would you treat people you couldn't trust? ”
"The minister does not dare to speculate on the holy will." Su Jianwu hurriedly said.
"Hahaha." Yun Huannan smiled and strode away.
Behind him, Su Jianwu was still hunched, his side eyes skimming his back, and his brows were tightly locked.
"General Su?" Wang Zhen reminded him loudly, Su Jianwu came back to his senses, and then he straightened up and stepped into the Qinzheng Palace, in the hall, Yun Zhuhu sat in front of the dragon case in the upper left, holding a book in his hand and looking at it seriously, as if the person who was playing chess and talking about music in the side hall just now was not him at all.
"Ahem" Wang Zhen coughed lightly, admiring his emperor's acting skills more and more, walked to the dragon case, and said while handing over tea: "Your Majesty, General Su is here." ”
"Minister Su Jianwu see the emperor, long live my emperor."
Su Jianwu lifted the front swing of his official uniform and knelt down on one knee. Yun Folded Hu put down the fold, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Flatten." I see you just met the Seventeenth Prince at the door? ”
"Yes, Weichen had the honor to have a few words with the prince."
"Well, how about you see me giving Su Ningxue to the Seventeenth Prince?"
There was an incomprehensible smile on the face of the cloud folded hoof, Su Jianwu was stunned, although he had already expected it, he still didn't control it, and for a moment he raised his eyes to look at the cloud folded hoof, touching the cloud folded hoof's inquiring gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head again.
"The ministers will obey the emperor's will and dare not disagree."
The words that Yun Huanan said seemed to echo in his ears, and Su Jianwu immediately replied. The smile on Yun Fold's face deepened, and his hand gently rubbed the edge of the teacup, "But I heard that you have been very close to the queen's people recently, don't you have the heart to support the eldest prince?"
As I get older, this throne will have to be relinquished sooner or later. General Su might as well go back and think about it, and ask the queen what she means before answering me. ”
Su Jianwu's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt on his knees.
"The emperor is clear, the ministers are loyal to the emperor's heart, and the sun and the moon can be learned. The minister had a lot of contact with the queen mother, only for Concubine Su, and there was no intention of betraying the emperor and being loyal to the prince. ”
Since ancient times, emperors have been like this, they can have the intention of establishing a prince and a Zen throne, but they must not tolerate their subordinates giving priority to the prince when he is still in power. Their rights, their status are supreme and irreplaceable, and unless they are willing to give them up, it will be a betrayal.
Fortunately, Su Jianwu had Yun Zhunan reminding him that when answering this question, he had a little idea in his heart, so he reacted quickly enough and did not make Yun Zhuhu suspicious.
"Well, I see. I almost misunderstood Aiqing, and thought that it was time to settle the previous crime of bullying the king. "The cloud folded and the cloud said lightly.
Su Jianwu's heart tightened again, and layers of fine sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
The crime of bullying the king, so long has passed, he almost thought that the cloud fold hoofs really don't care, but he didn't expect to be waiting for him here. But if he is not faithful in the slightest, Yun Folded Hoof will have no effort, as long as he shows the original evidence, he and even his entire family can easily be guillotined.
No wonder Yun Huanan said that he couldn't destroy this loyal heart, once it was ruined, he would never recover.
"The ministers have no two hearts, and everything is decided by the emperor alone."
"Well, it's good to have no two hearts. I don't want to be ruined by this time. Lan Xiu intends to send troops to attack, you must have heard that I plan to send you this time, and I will return your military power to you, but Aiqing must remember how to get this military power back today. The cloud fold hoofed smiled.
Su Jianwu immediately said: "The minister understands, the minister does not dare to forget the emperor's grace, let alone the emperor's hard work." ”
Out of the Qinzheng Palace, Su Jianwu felt that all this was like a dream, he suddenly took back the military power, but he also understood that his power was unstable, he was loyal to the emperor, if there was a trace of dissatisfaction with the emperor, the emperor would not allow him to live well.
So what will he do to make the emperor dissatisfied?
Su Jianwu let out a long sigh and walked towards the palace gate with heavy steps.
He is afraid that he will not be able to help Su Ningyu in the future, the more he contacts with the eldest prince, the more the emperor does not believe in his loyalty; In contrast, he is afraid that he will be more attentive to Su Ningxue in the future, because the emperor clearly said that he intends to marry Su Ningxue and the seventeenth prince.
As long as the emperor's intention remains unchanged, the tight spell on his head will always be there.
Back at Su Mansion, Su Jianwu gave priority to Su Ningxue's Youshu Garden, at this time Su Ningxue went to the store to help and didn't come back, Ling Hui was very surprised to see Su Jianwu coming, Su Jianwu's expression swept over the flowers and trees in the garden lightly, and the depression in his heart became heavier and heavier.
He was wrong back then, he owed Youjia Shuning for so many years, and he shouldn't owe her children anymore. This child is innocent after all.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with you? Do you need a slave to call the young lady back? Ling asked tentatively.
Su Jianwu shook his head, "No need." When she comes back, all you have to do is tell her and I'll personally arrange to take her back to the house. ”
Well? Ling was slightly stunned, Su Jianwu had already raised her feet and left, so she hurriedly said, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." ”
When Su Ningxue came back, she was not surprised to hear the news. Yun Folds Nan can let Yun Folds Hu order to take her mother back to her home, forcing Su Jianwu to change his attitude is a big deal.
It's just that poor Su Ningyu is just afraid that the days ahead will be difficult.
In the Lotus Courtyard.
Cai's has been in a trance since she came back from Yishouyuan, and it was very cool for her to have a quarrel with Mrs. Su, but she didn't think about what the future would be. Now that she has been reminded by Xichun, she is more aware of the seriousness of the matter, when Youjia Shuning made Su Lao Taijun unhappy, Su Lao Taijun can think of ways to send people out, and even ......
Now this ruthless old woman, who knows if she will be killed.
"Xichun, it's not a way for us to wait like this, you go buy me something, and then ask someone to send a letter back to Jiangxi to my father, just say that I am in trouble, and ask him to send someone to help."
"Yes."
Xichun took the list written by Cai, glanced at the things on it hurriedly, and the corners of his mouth opened for a moment.
She was afraid that Cai's would be stupid and not fight back. Now that Cai is willing to be ruthless, she no longer has to swallow her anger. Xichun was used to doing these dirty jobs, went out of the house, avoided all eyeliner, unknowingly found someone to deliver the letter, and asked someone to buy things back for her.
When she returned to Su Mansion, only half an hour had passed, and she sent the things to Cai's hands, Cai's smiled faintly, and then got up and went to Yishouyuan.
