Chapter 465: Worse News
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the cold pillow is also silent.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Su Muyun washed up and dressed up, took Cha Pozi and Xiao Nian, and took the carriage back to her parents' house, she couldn't wait to know what kind of good news her father brought back from the next court.
Because Su Shangshu couldn't force her to marry in court last time, and Chu Lin became increasingly discordant in the court, which made Su Muyun very embarrassed in the middle, although Chu Lin didn't blame her half a point afterwards, but she was even more ashamed, so she hadn't been home for a long time, and her mother Wu saw that her daughter was rare to come back today, and she loved her in every way, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook what she liked.
"Good daughter, why did my mother see that you had lost a lot?" Wu took Su Muyun's hand and looked at her with eyes.
"Lao's mother is worried, her daughter has not lost weight, but has gained weight." Su Muyun endured the uneasiness in her heart, pinched her cheeks, and smiled.
"How is King Yan treating you? He didn't embarrass you about that. Wu Shi was not at ease after all, and asked softly.
"King Yan is broad-minded, and he is his brother's sworn brother, so he won't care about this little thing." Su Muyun lowered his head and wrung the silk handkerchief in his hand.
"Hey, I've persuaded your father many times, but he didn't listen, now, who would have thought that the country girl was the descendant of Marquis Xu, and she was also named the lord of Qinghe, this is good, I didn't get you a future, but I offended people first, if she was married in and became a princess, your life would not be easy!" Wu sighed faintly and said.
"If there is really that day, but there are lovers who will eventually become married, I am happy for them, King Yan is a righteous gentleman, I have seen Miss Du, and she is also a reasonable person, I just want to live a stable life, I think they will not embarrass me." Su Muyun unconsciously wrapped the silk handkerchief around his fingers.
She remembered the arrow in her chest that night when she scrubbed and changed her clothes for Du Mei, how much courage of love it took to sacrifice herself to block the arrow for him, and asked, can she be like her when she changes places? At this time, she didn't dare to be sure just thinking about it.
"How can you be such a stupid girl, the woman next to you robbed your husband, and you still say that they are lovers, so what have you become?" Wu picked up the silk handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes, hugging for his daughter.
"I ...... "I'm a superfluous person, Su Muyun seemed to have ice in her throat, and the cold and stinging made her speechless.
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, the aunt's delicate voice came from the courtyard: "The master is back." ”
"Father." Su Muyun got up, swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and greeted in a dumb voice.
"Why are you back today?" Su Yan squinted at Su Muyun and walked to the table and sat down.
"King Yan was taken to Dali Temple by his brother yesterday, I went to beg the Queen Mother overnight, will he be released today?" Su Muyun took the maidservant's freshly brewed tea and put it in Su Yan's hand.
"Today, the court issued a new decree saying that the Queen Mother and the Queen will go to Tianchan Temple to pray for blessings for one hundred and eight days, and the prince will accompany him to protect him. Su Yan's fingers struck on the table and said clearly.
"What? This is a blessing, and it is clearly a punishment. Wu said, covering his mouth in horror.
"Even the Queen Mother can't save King Yan!" Su Muyun's face changed and said in despair.
She was full of guilt, if she hadn't gone to ask for help by herself, how could the Queen Mother go to Tianchan Temple in such a cold weather, and stay for one hundred and eight days, just afraid that she would freeze and get sick.
"This Mei Ji poisoning case is very troublesome, I'm afraid no one can save him!" Su Yan took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"Father, you beg the emperor, let King Yan go, there is another culprit in this poisoning!" Su Muyun suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"King Yan said this more than a hundred times, but the emperor didn't believe it, and finally put him in prison, you are really my good daughter, let me intercede at this time, do you think my life is long or official!" Su Yan was so angry that he slammed the tea cup on the table, and the blue tea soup spilled out.
"In the end, he is his daughter's husband, you husband should help one or two, and it is okay to say a word of pleading, so as not to be laughed at by colleagues in the future." Wu helped Su Muyun up and complained a little.
"He remembered that I was my father-in-law at this time, and he asked him to be a concubine at the beginning, and he pushed back and forth, but now he doesn't know where to find a descendant of the Hou Ye who holds it in the palm of his hand all day long, and only you, a fool, are in a hurry to save him, and I think that the county lord of Qinghe didn't come to intercede, oh, I remember, she doesn't know if she is dead or alive." Su Yan gloated a little.
"If you don't save King Yan, it's just that, why curse Miss Du." Su Muyun turned around and walked to the side.
"I'm here to teach him a long lesson, to let him know that anyone can sit in the position of a wife? That girl has the name of the descendant of the Hou Ye and the lord of Qinghe, she has neither real power nor friendship, not to mention that she is unconscious now, even if she is alive, what kind of help can she bring him! Su Yan sneered and continued to drink tea.
Hua Yan stood aside, watching coldly, although she was worried about Du Mei, but there was nothing she could do, no matter how much Su Yan spoiled her, she was not allowed to ask about the affairs of the court, she was just a pet raised by the owner.
"Father!" Su Mo was in a hurry, and strode in, but before anyone arrived, he heard the sound first.
"What's wrong?" Su Yan twisted his eyebrows and said, his son has always been calm, and there are very few things that can make him so flustered.
"I heard just now that the emperor withdrew the errand of King Yan's patrol camp and replaced it by the seven kings, you and I quickly entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, although King Yan was at fault, but the crime was not so much, if the camp returned to the king of Shu, I was only afraid of ...... in the future" Su Motian's face was ugly, because there were still three female dependents in the house, he didn't continue.
"How did it come to this? The Queen Mother, together with the crown prince, is already a very heavy punishment, and now she has cut her errand, and in the future, ......" Su Yan's eyes rolled wildly, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons.
"Father, the patrol camp is the only defense of Jiangling City except for the palace guards, the prince has taken away 2,000 people in the morning, and now the palace is obviously short of manpower, if the patrol camp returns to the king of Shu, the Jiangshan Society is in danger!" Seeing that Su Yan was still hesitating, Su Motian couldn't help but urge.
"What are you anxious about, Song Ping, who is good friends with him, is already kneeling in the Zihuan Hall at this time, are you and my father and son missing? Besides, if I get love, they will say that I am coy, if I can't ask for love, not only will the emperor not like it, but also offend the king of Shu, this is obviously a matter that is not human inside and outside, I won't go! After thinking about it, Su Yan decided not to mix.
"I'm the only one who went." Su Motian originally wanted to go with Su Yan, but he didn't think that he had these concerns, he didn't have time to convince him, and turned around to leave.
"You are not allowed to go! From what happened last night to this morning, from the Queen Mother going out of the palace to pray for blessings, down to King Yan revoking his errand, this has long exceeded the punishment that an ordinary case should have, and the emperor has to take the opportunity to do something, you and I dare not guess, why cause trouble! Su Yan grabbed Su Motian's sleeve and said with a melancholy expression.
"Brother!" Su Muyun couldn't help but scream, she was worried about Chu Lin's safety, and she didn't want her brother to have an accident.
"Father, you can not go, but Chu Lin is my brother for life, and I will definitely go." Su Motian glanced at Su Muyun and said firmly.
"There have long been rumors in the market that the emperor is not born to the queen mother, King Yan has been in the limelight in the past two years, there are many people in the court who support him, and the people are very grateful to him, and the south only knows that King Yan does not know the emperor. Su Yan was frightened by his own conjecture, twisted his sparse beard under his chin, and paced around the room.
"This is just my father's speculation, before it came to this, I always have to save him, I swore with him as a brother, not because he is the king of Yan!" Su Motian said and walked away.
Su Yan wanted to call someone to stop him, but he was afraid that the matter would spread, so he had to chase after him, but how could he, a man in his fifties, catch up with the young man, he trotted to the gate, and only saw Su Motian riding a horse and leaving the dust.
He looked at his son's back, stomped his feet, and there were people coming and going in front of the door, and he didn't say much, so he had to turn around and go back.
"Your brother's wings are stiff, I can't control it, now tell me, what is the situation between you and King Yan?" Su Yan turned back into the house, and the evil fire in his heart was sprinkled on Su Muyun.
"I'm pretty good with King Yan." Su Muyun was stunned for a moment by Su Yan's straightforward question, and hurriedly lowered his head to cover up.
"Before, it was rumored that you slept in separate rooms, and even ...... Is there such a thing? Su Yan cared about his daughter's face in the end, but his meaning was clear.
"This ...... You are a father, how can you ask such a thing! Hua Yan was still standing aside, Wu couldn't hold it on his face, and pulled Su Yan's sleeve.
"Stupid! What is the situation now, he was the high-ranking Yan King before, let's swallow our anger, the situation is changing rapidly, maybe tomorrow he will not be demoted to the common people, that is to affect us, what is the use of this in-law! Su Yan glared at Wu and said hatefully.
"Father, no!" Hearing this, Su Muyun's blood seemed to have been drained all of a sudden, and the rouge couldn't cover the pale on her face.
"Zha Pozi, if you dare to tell half a lie, see if I don't skin you and pump your tendons!" Su Yan yelled at Cha Pozi, who was waiting in the courtyard.
"Father, you don't have to embarrass Mama, I haven't thought about leaving since I married into Yanwangfu, life and death are people there." Su Muyun gritted his teeth and knelt down.
Cha Pozi and Xiao Nian are the people who Su Muyun serves closely, and she can't escape their eyes in every bit of her life in Yanwang's Mansion, if she really says it, it will only make Su Yan even more angry and embarrassed.
"Are you crazy? Guarding this kind of marriage that has the name of husband and wife, but has no husband and wife, and spends the years hard, thinking that my dignified daughter of Shangshuling is being bullied like this, which is unbearable! Su Muyun knelt like this, Su Yanquan understood, he turned around and went to the study angrily.
"Get up, my poor daughter!" Wu hugged Su Muyun and burst into tears.
"Mother, my daughter doesn't feel bitter in her heart, she just wants to save him." Su Muyun said, tears overflowing in her eyes.
Chu Lin treats her very respectfully on weekdays, in addition to not being a husband and wife, it can be regarded as a respectful guest, since she has seen Du Mei, she knows how deep Chu Lin's waiting and waiting is a deep love, she may not get such affection in her life, but she is neither jealous nor hateful, and even secretly rejoices that she married a few years early, so that she has a dynasty and twilight with him alone.
"Let's go, go to Dali Temple!" Su Yan went and returned, and he had an extra roll of paper in his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Su Muyun looked at the paper in his hand vigilantly.
