CHAPTER XLIII
The excitement of the wedding of the two princes gradually faded, and the capital returned to its former calm.
Su Jin'an's life after returning from Qizhishan was really a little stuffy, and at the same time offended the four men in the family, it felt that Su Jin'an was trying it for the first time, and she definitely didn't want to come back for the second time. Looking back now, Su Jinan still has lingering feelings about the scene on the day she came back, and after her father came back, she took their family to a "three-hall trial" for Su Jin'an. Although Su Mu has always been serious, but he has never been to Mei and Su Jin'an, but this time Su Jin'an is too bold, and he dares to hide from his family at the foot of the capital, Su Mu is angry, and he criticizes Su Jin'an, and the three brothers who have been punished before have helped her say good things, this time the eldest brother is also angry, and he stands in the same position as his father, Su Muyang and Su Murong are also angry that Su Jin'an ran out by himself without even revealing any news to them, Su Jin'an was not only educated by the family this time, was also ordered by Su Mu not to leave the house for three months.
Today is the third day, Su Jin'an changes her way every day to appease her father and brother at home, although she is often deflated, Su Jin'an's heart is warm, they are all people who really care about and love her, at this moment she feels that she is really lucky, to be the daughter of the Su family, she feels that she may have used up the good luck of her previous life.
Su Jin'an was obedient and ingenious for many days, grinding hard bubbles and bribing food, and finally got forgiven by the men of the Su family, and also learned from Su Muqing the reason why Su Muqing appeared in time after she was in distress in Qizhi Mountain. That day, Su Muqing felt that something was wrong when he heard the description of the powder cream, Qizhi Mountain has always been a barren mountain, almost no one cares, Jin An went to collect medicine but happened to meet the person who grabbed the medicine, this was clearly arranged by someone in advance, he knew that Su Jinan had been looking for a person, and this person's identity must not be simple, he was worried that Jin An was calculated, and when he heard that the master of the Black Feather Gate was not there, he sent a letter to the Black Feather Gate in a hurry, in which he asked the master of the Situ Gate to see him by suspending Su Jin'an and the Black Feather Gate seventy percent of the business cooperation, The letter and the Black Feather Gate token left by the powder frost were sent to the dark stake of the Black Feather Gate, and sure enough, Si Tu came to the door before it was dark.
After Su Muqing explained Su Jin'an's situation to Si Tu, Si Tu subconsciously frowned, and he didn't rush to blame Su Muqing for threatening him, he walked back and forth in front of Su Muqing with a frowning face, and said solemnly: "Qizhi Mountain is not far from Kyoto, although it is steep, but it is also a good land, but it has always been an ownerless barren mountain, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Su Muqing couldn't help but tighten up when he heard this: "What the door master means is that this mountain is not a real barren mountain. ”
Si Tu nodded: "Someone in the door has been there, but they were stopped, and our people later found out that the blocker had an official token, made of Xuantie. ”
Su Muqing's heart sank when he heard it, Xuantie, that is the card making of the reverse scale guard, it is the emperor's personal guard, that is to say, this mountain is royal, Su Muqing finally decided to go to the second prince's mansion after thinking about it, knowing that Rong Chengyi's wedding should be in the palace rather than a private residence, but he still wanted to go and see, even if Rong Chengyi was not there, he could also try to find other people in the mansion, but he didn't expect that the next day Rong Chengyi directly asked Ye Xiu to take him to King Yan, and then it was what Su Jinan saw. Su Muqing knew that the Nine Dead Soul Rejuvenation Grass was Jin'an's wedding gift to Rong Chengyi, and someone tried to take the medicine, so Su Muqing handed over the medicine to Rong Chengyi, and there were not necessarily people who dared to take the medicine from the prince.
Su Jinan asked Su Muqing what place she accidentally broke into that night and why she met King Yan, she saw Su Muqing's eyes were much deeper, he looked at the bamboo forest outside the window for a long time before gently spitting out three words, but Su Jin'an's breath was suffocated: Reverse Scale Guard.
The anti-scale guard existed in the time of Emperor Taizu, it is a guard exclusive to the emperor, only listen to the emperor's dispatch, it is the last line of defense to defend the emperor, there is not much information about this guard among the people, most of them only know its name, although the people in the officialdom know a little more, but what is the specific establishment of the anti-scale guard, and there are only a handful of people who know where the guard is stationed. Su Jinan didn't expect that she would break into such an important place, thinking that she would be able to come out alive I was afraid that it would be protected by Rong Chengyi, but it was against the scales, and she would die when she touched it, and she knew that it was not easy to mess with just by hearing the name, did this matter really end like this, she was not sure.
The palace is inside, the gold is splendid, the court is deep, at this time just after the dynasty, the emperor left King Yan, the two are walking on the road to the study, the emperor is wearing a bright yellow court dress to take the lead, King Yan is one step behind and follows unhurriedly.
"How's the errand you've been given?" The emperor did not look back, and asked as if he were a family friend.
"It's going well, it's just going to take some time." King Yan's voice was always cold, and the emperor seemed to be used to it.
"I heard that someone broke into the base camp of the Scales Guard a few days ago." The emperor's voice did not rise and fall, and he did not distinguish between joy and anger.
King Yan didn't raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter to the people, the minister has already dealt with it." ”
"Yes, that's fine, I've always been at ease when you do things."
This time King Yan did not answer, the two walked into the door of the study in silence, the emperor's father-in-law served warm tea to the emperor in time, the emperor took it and just slowly moved the tea lid, he looked at the first station like a green pine as straight King Yan said: "Sit down." ”
"I remember you're twenty-four."
"Yes."
The emperor sighed a little, and in the blink of an eye, these children were all older: "It's not small, it's time to start a family, you haven't been in the imperial city for the past few years, and because your second brother has not established a concubine, your marriage has also been delayed." ”
King Yan raised his eyes and saw that the emperor did not speak, he was not looking forward to his marriage.
The emperor did not expect to get a response from King Yan, and he continued: "Now that the second concubine has been established, your marriage should also be settled, if you have a favorite girl, you might as well talk about it." ”
King Yan got up and saluted the emperor: "The ministers are not here, the emperor doesn't have to be distracted by the ministers." ”
"You stay in the barracks all year round, and you can't see any famous and noble women, I have some portraits of the daughters of ministers here, you might as well take a look, if there is anything that fits your eyes." The emperor chose to ignore King Yan's ambition here, and directly asked his father-in-law to present the portrait to King Yan's eyes.
King Yan looked at the booklet in front of him and had no intention of opening it, and the emperor was not in a hurry, and spoke slowly: "I was like you back then, I didn't care much about marriage, and now I feel that I was a little arrogant at that time. If you don't want to see it, forget it, I can help you choose a suitable one, I remember that the third child of the Su family has a girl who looks good, I don't know if you have an impression. ”
King Yan immediately thought of the pair of eyes that did not have the slightest fear or disgust towards him, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes, covering the emotions under his eyes, and then said calmly: "Yes, it is that she accidentally broke into the guard of the Reverse Scale Guard when she was collecting medicine, and it seems that she knows how to use medical skills. ”
The emperor hooked the corners of his lips without a trace: "Yes, Concubine Rong's poison last time was solved by her, and I think the medical skills are good." The three generations of the Su family are all civil officials, I didn't expect Su Mu to be such an alternative, his daughter looked a little timid, why don't you let her be your princess, although the status is not high, but the Su family has a good reputation, and it is nothing to be a princess, what do you think? ”
King Yan wanted to refuse, but thinking of that unusual figure and the emperor's words, he thought for a moment and still didn't say the words of refusal: "It's good that the emperor is in charge." ”
The Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "In this way, I have another matter on my mind. ”
"If the emperor is fine, the minister will retire."
"Go ahead." King Yan walked out of the study with a blank face.
