"I believe in it."

Su Youyi was overjoyed, and the emperor quickly said: "I believe you, but I don't believe him." ”

This time it was Su Youyi's turn to be silent.

She didn't want to deceive the emperor, and she couldn't deceive him.

At the beginning, under Li Ziyue's questioning, Su Youyi acquiesced, but now that she is facing the person closest to her, she has no way to ignore her conscience, saying that Ji Yushen has no intention of her.

For so many years, Ji Yushen has been wearing cyan clothes.

The one she lit the lamp and boiled oil for seven days, and finally soaked up the water in the heavy rain and almost dragged her down in the mud—

Teal clothes.

After a long time, Su Youyi said: "Then can the emperor tell me how you are going to deal with him?" ”

The emperor did not answer her directly, but said: "Why I was infected with the epidemic, I don't think you don't know. ”

Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, a little flustered.

"The Emperor's ......"

"I don't blame you."

The emperor quickly said: "When I was infected with the epidemic, it was you who were pregnant and kept taking care of me. ”

"It was you who blocked those ministers with bad intentions, it was you who stabilized the situation in the palace and the capital, and it was you who urged the imperial doctors to find a way to treat me."

"I am grateful to you, but I have always wondered why no one in the Qianqing Palace was infected, but I was the only one who was infected."

He looked at Su Youyi, "At that time, you know best how many people were infected in various parts of the palace. I'm sure you're smart, and you're aware of it. But you never mentioned it to me afterwards, and I realized that you probably knew about it a long time ago. ”

Su Youyi paused, "Since the emperor knows that you are the only one infected in the Qianqing Palace, he probably also knows that no one in the Yongshou Palace is sick, right?" ”

After the emperor recovered from his illness, as long as he retrieved the records of the Internal Affairs Office, it could not be clearer.

He didn't suspect that it was Su Youyi's hand, but the person behind the scenes was obviously protecting Su Youyi and targeting the emperor, so it was very clear who this person was.

Su Youyi sighed.

If Ji Yushen hadn't taken this step at the beginning, the emperor might still be able to protect him.

But he actually wanted the emperor to die, which the emperor absolutely could not tolerate.

Although Su Youyi wanted to protect Ji Yushen, she knew that for the emperor who intended to kill the king, it was already graceful that he could stay until today.

And Su Youyi, as the queen, has no position to intercede for Ji Yushen in any way or reason......

She didn't speak, but the emperor felt sad.

I feel sorry for her.

He could understand Su Youyi's thoughts.

At the beginning, she hated Ji Yushen because she thought that Ji Yushen had abandoned her and abandoned her for the sake of glory and wealth, so she completely lost her affection for Ji Yushen.

It wasn't until later that she learned about Li Ge Lao, and knew that Ji Yushen had wronged her to marry the enemy's daughter, and the anger in her heart disappeared.

Since then, although she has lost her love for him, she still has the friendship that she grew up with.

What's more, the two have common enemies and have spent so many years of common hatred.

Now that the emperor wants Ji Yushen's life, Su Youyi is naturally uncomfortable.

There was silence again.

Su Youyi finally raised her head, "Your Majesty, if I intercede for him, will you let him go?" ”

The emperor didn't react, as if he had known that Su Youyi would intercede for Ji Yushen after all.

"Will you?"

The emperor did not answer the rhetorical question.

……

Until late at night, Su Youyi was still thinking about this question.

Will she?

On the one hand, there are friends who have grown up together since childhood, and there are friendships and hatreds of the same family.

On one side is the emperor, she is Su Youyi's umbrella in this life, her beloved, and the father of her children.

And she was caught in the middle, torn apart.

Soul, morality, affection......

Everything was tearing at her.

So much so that she couldn't sleep at night.

When the emperor asked her this question today, she did not answer.

She was afraid that her answer would make the emperor sad, and she was even more afraid that her answer would make Ji Yushen lose the last ray of life.

That's right, Ji Yushen!

She had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of something.

Since she has no position to persuade the emperor, maybe she can make a move from Ji Yushen's side, Ji Yushen is so smart, she must have seen the emperor's intentions a long time ago.

Does he have a way to protect himself?

Su Youyi secretly made a decision-

Tomorrow, she wants to see Ji Yushen.

……

"Master, summoned from the palace!"

In the Ji Mansion, which had been neglected for a long time, the concierge suddenly received an edict from the palace, and he was overjoyed.

Ji Yushen was also surprised.

At this time, the emperor should not summon him.

The emperor should continue to snub him, make his reputation and position in the court even less, and let him lose the power in his hands little by little...... Finally, that's the step.

Summoning him at this time is not in line with the emperor's style of acting.

"In the palace, who summoned you?"

"It's the eldest prince, the eldest prince invites you to enter the palace to talk about learning!"

……

The older princes are getting older, and the emperor no longer restrains them as he did when he was a child, but allows them to freely contact the court and politics.

Therefore, several princes also often talked with knowledgeable ministers in the court, trying to learn more about the government.

Ji Yushen, as the first assistant, can naturally talk to the princes.

It's just that at this time of year......

He suddenly understood something and smiled.

The subordinate smiled when he saw him, and hurriedly said: "Master, as long as you can enter the palace, you will have the hope of regaining the Sacred Heart, so let's change your clothes and enter the palace quickly!" ”

Regaining the Sacred Heart?

Ji Yushen didn't care at all.

He just saw that the so-called eldest prince summoned him, but in fact, who really wanted to see him.

……

In the fourth place in the east, the study house of the eldest prince is very lively.

The eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and Xue Taifu and Su Youyi all talked inside.

The topic of this spring festival is the law of defending the land in the south, because there are many small countries in the south, and they are barbarians, and they often invade the border, this topic is a hot topic at present.

Xue Daoming thought it was interesting, and it happened that Su Youyi proposed it, so he held a small symposium.

The five of them talked about the topic, and finally the three princes wrote down the results of the discussion with their own thoughts to see how their articles were.

In addition to the five of them, there was one person who did not arrive.

"Queen Mother, eldest prince, Ji Shoufu has arrived."

"Please come in."

Ji Yushen entered the door and saw Su Youyi sitting elegantly in the study, holding a book in her hand, and subconsciously smiled.

He guessed correctly.

……

It was a full half hour before the conversation in the study became quieter.

The three princes each wrote articles in front of the bookcase, and Su Youyi, Xue Daoming, and Ji Yushen walked out.

Xue Daoming said with a look in his eyes: "Queen Mother, the minister will be absent for a while, go and change clothes first." ”

Say goodbye.

Su Youyi said to Ji Yushen: "A piece of lilac in the East Fourth Institute is blooming well, just behind the eldest prince's premises, are you willing to accompany the palace to have a look?" ”

"Naturally, mother, please."

The two walked along the path behind the house, and Su Youyi said, "I'm afraid that when you hear that the eldest prince invited you into the palace, you will know that I want to see you, right?" So I wasn't surprised at all. ”

Ji Yushen smiled, "Naturally, I know." It's just that if the queen thinks that she can avoid the emperor's eyes and ears like this, she underestimates the emperor too much. ”

"Naturally, it's not for the emperor."

Su Youyi said, "I don't have anything to hide from the emperor, it's just that Concubine Hui made a fuss at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to avoid criticism from the DPRK and China, it is more appropriate to invite you in the name of the eldest prince." ”

She stood still, no one on all sides, a lilac behind her.

It's a great place to talk.

Ji Yushen nodded, "I see." That lady went to great lengths to invite me here, but I don't know what it was for? ”
