Cheng Xiujie smiled softly without care, and asked rhetorically: "In the end, I ended up with the same fate as me, right?" I don't think it's necessary. ”

With that, he turned around and left without looking back.

After Cheng Aoran saluted Liang Zhao silently, he hurriedly chased after him.

"Send Princess Zhaohua back to the palace." Liang Zhao, who was in a low mood, no longer had the heart to entertain Su Mulian, so he left after instructing Zhongnian beside him.

Su Mulian is a sensible person, so naturally she will not be disturbed, she left the palace, got into the carriage, and thought a lot on the way back to the palace, although she didn't know what happened back then, but she didn't want Cheng Aoran to be buried in vain.

She didn't go back to Changle Palace directly, but went to the imperial study to find Liang Guang, who was seriously handling official business inside, so that Su Mulian couldn't bear to disturb her, and stood quietly and watched.

"When did you come?" I don't know how long it took, Liang Guang, who was about to rest, raised his head, saw Su Mulian in front of him, raised a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked.

Su Mulian curtsied: "See my father." ”

"Excuse me." Liang Guang, who put down the pen, nodded and put aside the fold that had been reviewed, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Su Mulian wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know how to speak.

Liang Guang saw her appearance and asked jokingly, "Zhaohua must have something to tell me when he came today, right?" ”

Su Mulian nodded, her heart was entangled, and she said, "Cheng Aoran's father is here. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Guang had a light smile on his face, and then slowly faded away, his eyes became heavy, as if he was recalling the past.

"Father, today I heard from Uncle Huang that he was the former general of Zhenguo." Su Mulian became nervous and asked cautiously.

Liang Guang looked at Su Mulian meaningfully, frowned slightly, his face became serious, and said in a low voice: "Zhaohua, the harem is not allowed to discuss the government. ”

Su Mulian's heart fluttered even harder, for fear that he would misunderstand something, so she hurriedly explained: "Father, I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the court, I just want to tell you that Mr. Cheng will not allow Cheng Aoran to enter the court as an official. ”

After Liang Guang heard this, his eyes were gloomy and full of sadness, and then he laughed at himself and said slowly: "He still came to the capital." ”

Su Mulian nodded, frowning worriedly: "Uncle Cheng wants to take Cheng Proudly back, today Uncle Huang briefly said what happened back then, Uncle Cheng was wronged back then, presumably your heart is not good, right?" ”

I saw Liang Guang's brows furrowed even tighter, pulled the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Do you want to know what happened back then?" ”

Su Mulian pretended to be stunned, her eyes widened in surprise, and she asked softly, "Is it okay?" ”

Liang Guang nodded, leaned back in his chair, folded his hands, let out a long sigh, and turned his two thumbs in circles.

She could tell that he was irritable and helpless.

"Absolutely." Liang Guang said weakly, "Just talk about family life." ”

For Liang Guang, this memory is like a healed scar, and now that the scar is to be revealed, this feeling is naturally uncomfortable, and Su Mulian also understands that although he is an emperor, he also has helpless troubles.

Then Su Mulian moved a small wooden stool to sit beside Liang Guang, and listened carefully to him tell the story of the past, very seriously, the story was finished, and in a blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

After listening to the story, Su Mulian's mood also became heavy, she didn't expect Liang Guang to pay so much silently behind her back for Cheng Xiujie, a good brother, and she didn't care about Cheng Xiujie's misunderstanding and hatred.

"Father, Uncle Cheng is now in the capital, can you explain it to him?" Su Mulian suggested.

Liang Guang just smiled and shook his head: "It's been seventeen years, what's the use of explaining?" Besides, if I know him, how can I listen to my explanation given his donkey temper? ”

Su Mulian thought about it carefully, Cheng Xiujie's temper was indeed stubborn, which made people angry and anxious.

"There are still many secrets in the case of Xiao Bo's embezzlement, and I have ordered the regent to secretly investigate." Liang Guang deliberately lowered his voice and said.

Of course, Su Mulian understands the meaning, Xiao Bo's corruption case is just a fuse, using this matter to pull out the previous big case, Liang Guang's move is to find out the truth.

"Father, you must give Uncle Cheng a clean slate." Su Mulian got up, bent her knees slightly, and pleaded in a low voice.

Liang Guang personally helped her to sit down and said, "I will." ”

Su Mulian also nodded with reassurance, after all, it was uncomfortable to be wronged, and it was a great shame, and she also understood why Cheng Xiujie opposed Cheng Aoran's entry into the court as an official, the so-called cause must have effect.

"Cheng Aoran, this kid is good." Liang Guang praised.

Su Mulian smiled a little proudly, and said shyly: "Father, do you think so too?" ”

After all, it's the man she fancies, so where will it go?

Liang Guang naturally knew her thoughts, and quipped: "Look at you!" ”

Su Mulian just smiled shyly.

"If Cheng Aoran can really be used by me, he will have a future in the future." Liang Guang said affirmatively.

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Mulian hurriedly echoed, "Cheng Aoran has always wanted to enter the court as an official, but Uncle Cheng obstructed him, this martial arts move was all hidden from him, if he can find out the truth and change Uncle Cheng's innocence, he will naturally not object." ”

Liang Guang nodded: "I will give him a clean slate, and when the time comes, I will give you a marriage." ”

As soon as she heard this, Su Mulian's cheeks turned even redder, she lowered her head, and said shyly: "Father, I am still young, and I am not in a hurry to get married, besides, Cheng Aoran has a brilliant future, and he will serve the country when he is successful and famous." ”

Liang Guang was very relieved to see that she was so sensible.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Mulian left, leaving the imperial study, looking at the sky that was reflected red, which was particularly beautiful.

"Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit."

Su Mulian let out a long sigh, her cheeks seemed to be dyed red by the sky, and then she quickened her pace and returned to Changle Palace.

She had to rejoice that the princesses of this dynasty were relatively free, they could go out of the palace at will, and there were not too many rules to bind them, and this life was getting more and more nourishing.

The next day, Su Mulian woke up naturally from a sleep, and after grooming and dressing, she had nothing to do, so she sat on the soft couch, in order to be worthy of the princess's body, she decided to start learning lyrics and poetry and cultivating her sentiments.

It's just that Su Mulian found that she was really not suitable for reading, so she studied the dim sum recipes, planning to be courteous to please the Queen Mother and Liang Guang.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and I saw Yi Dong hurriedly running in, his eyes wide in panic, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his knees bent slightly.

"Princess, something is wrong."
