Just as Lu Cunwei was running to the study, Su Jiu received a post from the porter.

Sent by the Hou Ye's Mansion, on it was the scribbled handwriting of Xie Rongjing's dragon flying and phoenix dancing, saying that there was some trouble in business, and he asked Su Jiu to hurry over to the house to help.

He had never been in such a hurry.

Su Jiu thought that the Xie family's business was afraid that something big would happen, so he didn't dare to tell his mother, and quietly left the Guogong Mansion by himself.

She rode a fast horse straight to the Hou Ye's mansion, Xie Rongjing welcomed her in and led her to the main courtyard, "It's not a big trouble, it has been solved by the staff and guests in the mansion." I'll treat you to a snack on this trip. ”

Su Jiu looked around curiously.

The night is like splashing ink, and the lights of the Hou Ye's Mansion are faint.

Somehow, the mansion seems to be unusually lonely tonight.

She whispered: "What about Mo 13 and Zhou Fengxian?" Aren't they always on your house, why are they missing tonight? ”

"Oh......" Xie Rongjing pushed away the fan, his eyelashes drooping, "They went to Tianxiang to eat flower wine, they didn't have three days and two nights, how could they come back." ”

Su Jiu stepped into the threshold and saw exquisite meals on the round table behind the beaded curtain.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

Sitting down with Xie Rongjing, the man diligently prepared dishes for her, as if casually mentioned: "You have been out of the palace for so long, has he not been looking for you?" ”

Su Jiu shook his head.

Xie Rongjing hooked his lips and sneered, "Sure enough, he is a person with little affection." As far as I know, Kazuki Ji is still living in the lotus fragrance building, and has no intention of moving out. As for Xue Chengcheng, whom you hate, she is still the queen mother who is high. ”

Su Jiu didn't say anything.

She held her cheek with one hand and shook the wine in the glass, and the clear deer eyes were stained with complexity.

Xie Rongjing: "It's not a way for you to be so stiff with him, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Su Jiu shook his head.

She lowered her eyelashes and was about to drink, but she smelled a strange aroma in the drink.

She remained silent and raised her eyes to look at Xie Rongjing.

The lights were shining, the man's face was like a spring dawn, revealing a different kind of tranquility and calmness, Danfeng's eyes were neither waveless nor waveless, just looking at her quietly, as if waiting for her to drink the wine in the cup.

"Xie Rongjing?"

She put down the cup.

Xie Rongjing seemed to be expected, and smiled, "I know that Xiaojiu has a keen sense of smell, and ordinary drugs are easy for you to detect." ”

"What do you want to do?" Su was puzzled.

Xie Rongjing looked out the window.

There are two wind lamps hanging under the window eaves, but the darkness is too thick, and the faint halo does not shine through the dark night, and it is still dark beyond the sight of the eye in the distance.

The man tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, "Su Xiaojiu, we have known each other for seven years." In the past seven years, you have always been by Xiao Tingchen's side, and the love you have given me is really pitiful. But how can someone like Xiao Tingchen be worthy of your love? ”

Su Jiu had never seen Xie Rongjing like this.

Calm and persistent, Danfeng hides madness in his eyes.

She frowned, and a bad premonition filled her heart, "Xie Rongjing, what the hell are you...... What do you want to do? Did you want to assassinate Xiao Tingchen? Do you know how well the palace is defended? ”

"Assassination?" The corners of the man's lips hooked slightly, "It's not so much about assassination, tonight's action is more like forcing the palace." ”

Su Jiu couldn't believe it, "Xie Rongjing, are you crazy?!" Xiao Tingchen is no longer good to me, but he can be regarded as a Ming Jun, he is the king you should be loyal to! ”

"He doesn't deserve it." Xie Rongjing's tone was extremely cold, "The person who should inherit the throne is not him, but his brother Xiao Tingsheng...... Or it would be more appropriate to call him Yuan Sheng. ”

Su Jiulu's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't he dead?" ”

She knew that Xiao Tingchen had an elder brother, but she also knew that that brother died just after birth, where would there be another Xiao Tingsheng?!

"Huh...... The queen is really simple. ”

A coquettish voice sounded slowly.

Su Jiu looked over, a slender jade hand opened the bead curtain, and the girl who appeared in the lamplight was not Xue Xiwen!

She Huo Ran got up and stared at Xie Rongjing angrily, "You colluded with the Xue family?!" ”

"What is collusion? The alliance between traitors is called collusion. Xue Xiwen chuckled, her jade hand rested on Xie Rongjing's shoulder, her beautiful eyes were radiant, "Our Xue family and Marquis Xie are doing a big thing for King Qin, eradicating the ministers and protecting the royal family, how can it be called collusion?" ”

Su Jiu was still staring at Xie Rongjing.

She couldn't believe Xue Xiwen's words, she held the last glimmer of hope and waited for Xie Rongjing's answer.

But Xie Rongjing was destined to disappoint her.

The man drank half a cup of cold wine, his eyebrows and eyes were as cold as a knife, "Su Xiaojiu, Xiao Tingchen is a chaotic minister and thief, usurping the throne is already a great crime, not to mention that he has repeatedly humiliated and tortured you, in my opinion, it is not a pity to die." I don't have the ability to Xie Rongjing, but I have the ability to stand up for the woman I love! ”

"Thanks—"

"Don't speak for him anymore!" Xie Rongjing said coldly, "I don't care who sits on that throne, all I care about is you Su Jiu!" For you, I am willing to break through the sea of swords, mountains and fires, and I am willing to do things that force the palace to cause chaos! Su Xiaojiu, I only care about you! ”

The man's eyes were red.

The resolute and spicy tone made Su Jiu frightened.

A touch of jealousy flashed in Xue Xiwen's eyes, and she reminded gently: "Master Hou, the time has come, it's time to send Miss Su into the palace." ”

Su Jiu took two steps back.

Sending her into the palace must be to hold Xiao Tingchen hostage.

But the Xue family did not tolerate it, and no one would care about her life or death.

She turned around to escape, but was stopped by Xue Xiwen's maid.

Xie Rongjing got up, "Xiaojiu, you were born kind and gentle, and you probably don't want the palace to be full of blood again, right?" Enter the palace to persuade Xiao Tingchen to surrender, and we promise not to hurt half of the life. ”

"Persuasion?" Su Jiu sneered, "It's nice to say, it's just threatening Xiao Tingchen with me!" Xie Rongjing, after so many years, I misjudged you! ”

"I'm doing it for your own good." Xie Rongjing said in a deep voice.

Su Jiu was about to retort, but a maid hit her on the side of the neck.

She lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

Xue Xiwen smiled and arched her hand at Xie Rongjing, "Thank you Lord Hou for your help." Above the court of the new emperor, the marquis must be ranked as the third duke. ”

"Ben Hou doesn't care about being ranked as the third duke," Xie Rongjing stood indifferently with his hands behind his back, "Ben Hou only needs Su wine." ”

The girl he liked since he was a child was not at ease when he was around others.

Or be firmly trapped in your own mansion and be spoiled by yourself to feel at ease.

Xue Xiwen left the Hou Ye Mansion with Su wine.

Behind the bead curtain, Xie Rongjing was waited by two maids to change into fine armor.

He slowly put on his red-tasseled helmet.

Under the light, his silhouette was cold and tall, and a faint bloodthirsty aura overflowed around him.

He is a man who has been on the battlefield and a general in Chang'an City.

He is no longer the former Xie Jiajun who fought cocks and lackeys and had nothing to do in Jinling City.

The man slowly raised his crimson Danfeng eyes.

He also has his pursuits.
