CHAPTER XLIV
Summer mornings are always short, and the dew on the leaves is driven away by the heat of the morning sun before they have time to frolic properly.
Su Jin'an woke up when the sun rose in mid-air, the room was quiet, and her thoughts slowly returned, and her last memory yesterday was that she was thrown into the carriage by King Yan, so this should be his place. The wound on Su Jin'an's shoulder has been treated, his clothes have been changed, and looking at the bandaged shoulder, Su Jin'an raised his eyebrows: I don't know who wrapped it, it's really unprofessional. Su Jinan sat up and looked around, it was a very low-key room, except for the necessities of tables, chairs and benches, there was nothing superfluous, she noticed that there was a new set of lake blue men's clothes on the stool in front of the couch, and she put it on herself very consciously.
Su Jin'an felt empty in her stomach after changing her clothes, and she didn't know if King Yan was still here, so she should go and thank him first. Su Jin'an opened the door and was about to go out, when a long sword stretched out in front of her blocked her way, although the sword was not unsheathed, Su Jin'an still felt its murderous aura, and thought that there would be no less souls under this sword.
Su Jinan showed a very standard smirk: "Brother Tai, is your master here?" β
The man glanced at Su Jin'an: "Follow me." With that, he walked on his own.
Su Jin'an couldn't help but roll his eyes behind his back when he looked at him dragging, and then followed his steps forward. The man took Su Jinan to turn left and right for a long time, and when Su Jin'an asked him five times if he was almost there, the person in front finally responded for the first time: "It's here." β
The courtyard in front of her is not big but exquisite, and the one she just walked out of is really different from the mud, although it is also a minimalist style, but the one in front of her is obviously a low-key luxury. Before Su Jin'an had time to appreciate it, he heard the person in front of him standing in front of a door: "Master, someone brought it." β
"Enter." Su Jin'an heard the voice of King Yan inside the door.
The person who led the way turned sideways and gave way to Su Jin'an, obviously letting her in by herself. Su Jin'an pushed open the carved wooden door in front of him, and the minimalist style was still walking inside, Su Jin'an saw King Yan sitting in front of the bookcase at a glance, and she stepped forward to salute King Yan in a regular manner: "I've seen the prince, thank you for saving your life, if the prince is sent, he will do his best." β
Rong Chengjiao looked at Su Jin'an calmly, it was not surprising that she really looked like a man, this woman always did something that puzzled him, but her appearance today was too coincidental, he had to suspect that she had another purpose.
"Why did you come here yesterday?" Rong Chengjiao's voice always sounded cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Jinan always felt that the air around him was going to drop a few degrees.
"Hui Wangye, I heard that there is a rare medicinal herb in Qizhi Mountain that has matured, so I brought people to look for it, and I was fortunate to get it, but I didn't expect to meet gangsters to rob this medicine, and I was defenseless, and the two of us were scattered, and we were accidentally stabbed by the enemy and fell off the cliff, but fortunately the prince was rescued." Although what Su Jinan said was not all, what she said was indeed the truth.
"Coming to collect medicine?"
"Exactly."
"What medicine?"
"Back to the prince, the Nine Dead Soul Grass is of the highest quality."
"What about the people with you? Where's your medicine? β
The more Su Jinan spoke, the more strange she felt, although she hadn't seen King Yan a few times, she also knew that he barely spoke, but today he asked her so much, could it be that she knew something that she shouldn't know secrets? But she didn't seem to hear anything.
Su Jinan didn't have time to think about it, and replied in time: "Because Zai Xia is very concerned about this medicine, so let the powder cream that followed him go down the mountain with the herbs first, and I don't know if she is safe now." β
After Su Jin'an finished speaking, King Yan did not express his belief or disbelief, but looked at the cup on the table and said slowly: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" β
Su Jin had a bad premonition in her peace of mind, could it be that she came to a place where she shouldn't have come? Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Su Jin'an didn't show it on his face: "I don't know, but I think it should be the prince's other courtyard, right?" β
"Guess what happens if I kill you here?" Rong Cheng's cool voice gave Su Jin goosebumps.
"Lord Wang, is there any misunderstanding here? I just went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I didn't do anything illegal. "Su Jinan is now seven or eight points sure that he must have broken into some place last night.
Rong Chengyan looked at Su Jin'an's eyes and didn't speak, Su Jin'an didn't speak again for a while, the room was very quiet, and the pressure of staring at the legendary "Red-eyed Hades" was really not something ordinary people could bear, Su Jinan could almost hear his heartbeat.
Just when Su Jinan was about to lose it, Rong Chengyan took out a black feather from the box on the side, and Su Jinan's pupils shrank. Rong Chengjiao said unhurriedly: "I don't know if Miss Su recognizes this?" β
Hearing Rong Chengjiao point out her identity, Su Jinan knew that her words could not be wrong at all, and the best way was to tell the truth, because no matter how perfect a lie was, there would be omissions, and she didn't dare to bet at this time, since King Yan told her identity, then her words and deeds would be connected with the Su family.
Su Jinan did not hide it and said to King Yan: "Yes, black feathers, as far as I know, there are two explanations for this thing: first, this is an ordinary bird feather; Second, it is a token of the Black Feather Gate in the rivers and lakes. β
"Miss Su knows a lot, last night there were people from the Black Feather Gate fighting with unknown people in Qizhi Mountain, and there were no casualties on both sides, I'm a little curious when the Black Feather Gate made such a gentle move?" Rong Chengjiao pinched the feather in his hand and turned it back and forth.
"This is going toβ" Su Jin'an's words were interrupted by a knock on the door outside.
"Say." Rong Chengyan looked at the people outside the door, and Su Jin'an shut up knowingly.
"Lord Wang, Su Muqing, the eldest son of the third room of the Su family, asks to see you."
Rong Chengyan looked at Su Jin'an, and Su Jin'an was also very surprised: "Big brother? β
"Let him in."
"Yes, lord."
After a while, Su Muqing came to Rong Chengyao's study with slender steps, he glanced at Su Jinan first, and saw that she was standing there well, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
"In Xia Su Muqing, I have seen Prince Yan, the little sister is stubborn, and I ask the prince to forgive me for the offense." Su Muqing saluted Rong Cheng.
Su Jin'an moved behind Su Muqing and gently tugged at his sleeve, and asked with his eyes: Why are you here?
Su Muqing returned her with a reassuring smile, and then continued to Rong Chengyi: "Lord Wang, I know the whole process of this matter, and I can give the Lord a comprehensive explanation, but can you ask Lord Wang Ye to let An An out first." β
Su Jin'an's eyes immediately widened: "Big brother! β
"Don't worry, I'll solve it, go out and wait for me." Su Jinan originally wanted to say something, but looking at Su Muqing's serious eyes, she was stunned, and walked slowly out of the door without saying anything.
Su Muqing watched Su Jinan walk out, and then saluted Rong Chengyan again.
Su Jinan stood outside the door and looked at the empty yard boringly, and she didn't know how the eldest brother appeared, she now had a stomach full of questions and didn't know who to ask, so she could only wait for the eldest brother to come out.
After less than a cup of tea, the people behind Su Jin'an opened, she hurriedly stepped forward, the first to come out was King Yan, she hurriedly saluted, and then looked behind him, and saw Su Muqing intact, she was relieved.
Without waiting for Su Jin'an to speak, Su Muqing stepped forward and said to Su Jin'an: "I brought Xia Qu and powder cream, wait for you outside, you go home first, I will go with the prince, if you have anything to say, I will go back and talk about it." β
"Where are you going?" Su Jinan said nervously.
