Chapter 206: Temptation
With the continuous disputes in the court, the Su family is cold compared to the past.
In the past, many forces were trying to find ways to tie up with the Su family, but now Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing are not being taken seriously, so no one wants to tie up with the Su family.
However, the business of the three shops in Su Ji in the capital is still very prosperous, and the life of the Su family is becoming more and more relaxed.
The Wang family and the others all knew that Su Bowen was fine, and every day Doctor Liao still came to Su Mansion to treat Su Bowen, but he was just chatting with Su Bowen about tea.
On this day, the prince after the end of the lockdown came to visit Su Mansion in person, and after Su Zhiyuan learned of this, he took Su Boxing and Su Bowen to greet His Royal Highness in the main hall.
When the prince saw Su Bowen in a wheelchair, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and he was fleeting, and he said with concern.
"How is Brother Bowen now?"
Familiar title, Su Bowen sneered in his heart, and his face was very respectful.
"Back to Your Highness, the minister is now passable, and it can't be said that it is good or bad."
Seeing that Su Bowen was indeed not having a happy life, the prince did not pay attention to him, but looked at Su Zhiyuan and said with emotion.
"In the past, the Su family was powerful, and it can be said that it was like a market, but now it is a little more bleak, which is really amazing that the world has changed."
Hearing this, Su Zhiyuan echoed.
"As His Royal Highness said, the Su family is indeed bleak now, but the ministers don't like to be lively, and now they are much happier."
The prince deliberately wanted to give the Su family one last chance, but it was obvious that Su Zhiyuan made it clear that he did not intend to cooperate with him.
The prince held back the anger in his heart and simply got straight to the point.
"Lord Su should know the situation in the court now, even if the prince doesn't say it, Lord Su should also be the prince and the seventh brother have now become two camps.
I just don't know which side the Su family plans to take refuge into? ”
Seeing that the prince explained his purpose straightforwardly, Su Zhiyuan was sincerely frightened and said.
"Back to Your Highness, the old minister once promised Your Majesty that no matter how fierce the battle for imperial power is, the Su family will only obey Your Majesty's orders, if Your Highness inherits orthodoxy, the Su family will definitely be used by Your Majesty!"
Su Zhiyuan said this with the determination to die, even if the prince was going to kill him today, then he would not say anything.
The Su family can only be loyal ministers, no matter who wants to win over the Su family, or what means are made, the Su family will definitely not compromise.
Su Zhiyuan's attitude made the prince angry.
"Very good, this prince appreciates Lord Su's way of life, Lord Su said a lot, as a loyal minister, he should treat his father with one mind.
It is a blessing for the father to have a loyal minister like the Su family, and since this is the case, there is no need for this prince to stay.
However, this prince still kindly reminded Master Su that although the seventh brother is in power now, I won't say who the position of the East Palace is, you also know.
Since you have decided to be a loyal minister, let's be honest and not offend both sides! ”
Let's say, the prince threw up his sleeves and left, and the three of the Su family's father and son looked at the prince and left, and then Su Boxing sighed.
"It seems that the life of the Su family will become more and more difficult in the future."
Obviously, they have completely offended the prince today, but even if they don't offend the prince, the prince will not care about them in the future.
Su Zhiyuan glanced at Su Boxing and reminded him.
"Although the crown prince hates us now, the final winner of the battle for imperial power is not something you and I can understand, and we don't know Your Majesty's thoughts.
"Yes, my son knows."
Su Boxing will not forget his father's entrustment, and now the Su family is really cautious.
The prince was very angry after leaving the Su family, and Mr. Gongsun on the side saw this and took the initiative to propose.
"Since the Su family doesn't even want the last chance given by His Royal Highness, then there is no need for us to continue to keep the Su family."
Hearing this, the prince's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something, and ordered Mr. Gongsun on the side.
Late at night, after Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen passed dinner, the two played with Ruier for a while.
Rui'er came to Su Bowen, frowned slightly, and said with concern.
"Does Daddy hurt?"
Ruier was afraid to see Su Bowen at first, just because Su Bowen couldn't stand, but Shen Baiqing told Rui'er that her father was sick, and every time Ruier saw Su Bowen, she would ask Su Bowen if she was still in pain.
Seeing that his son felt so sorry for himself, Su Bowen smiled, Rui'er in front of him was only one and a half years old, but he was so obedient, thinking that this child was like himself, and he didn't let the family worry about it since he was a child.
"Daddy doesn't hurt."
"Rui'er gives Daddy a call, and Daddy won't hurt."
Rui'er snorted on Su Bowen's lap as he spoke, he was short, he could only snort like this, and the rest of the people were very happy to see Rui'er like this.
Shen Baiqing ordered Granny Cui to send Rui'er back to the wing, and when she saw Su Bowen's stunned face, Shen Baiqing teased him.
"Before, my husband thought it was so good, but if I see Rui'er like this today, will my husband feel indebted to Rui'er?"
Hearing this, Su Bowen sighed and said.
"You and I owe Rui'er very easily, I just hope this kid can know about your and my hard work as soon as possible."
Shen Baiqing came to Su Bowen's side and said softly.
"Our Ruier will definitely be the most obedient child in the world."
Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen were lying on the bed, in the middle of the night, there was a sound from the roof, Su Bowen immediately opened his eyes, realized that something was wrong, and he immediately covered himself on Shen Baiqing's body.
Shen Baiqing was frightened by the sudden weight, and was about to speak, but heard Su Bowen say.
"There are assassins."
Shen Baiqing didn't dare to move, she knew that Su Bowen didn't want her to have an accident, and she didn't want her existence to help him.
Sure enough, a figure rolled in from the window, the figure came to the bed, raised his sword and was about to stab at Su Bowen, Su Bowen immediately opened his eyes, reached out to grab the man's sword, and the two began to fight, but Su Bowen obviously fell into the wind, just because his legs couldn't move.
At this moment, He Lian came to the room to fight with the man, and then several secret guards appeared, and the man saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly slipped away.
After the man left, Su Bowen ordered the secret guard to retreat, Shen Baiqing came out of the quilt, and when he saw that Su Bowen was fine, he was suddenly relieved, and Su Bowen said softly.
"Madame, once again I want you to be frightened with me."
"I'm used to it, I've been aware of this since I was involved in this turmoil in the capital with you, but I believe that as long as we deal with it carefully, it will be fine."
Shen Baiqing was naturally worried about Su Bowen, but she knew better that expressing her worries about Su Bowen too much at this time would be an inexplicable pressure on Su Bowen.
Shen Baiqing was unwilling to put too much pressure on Su Bowen, as long as the Su family was okay, it was enough.
When the Assassin returned to the Prince's Palace, he immediately reported to the Prince.
"Prince Qiyu, his subordinates have confirmed that Su Bowen is really a dead leg, but Su Bowen has a lot of secret guards around him, and it is not easy to take his life."
"Stand down."
