Lu Wangshu, who hadn't seen Su Xiaoman for a day, pounced on her again and said childishly: "Auntie, where did you go today, why did you come back now, Daddy is gone, my son thinks you two don't want me anymore?" ”

Su Xiaoman looked at him puzzled and said, "Isn't Daddy here?" ”

Lu Wangshu's immature little face rubbed against Su Xiaoman's face: "Yes! Daddy doesn't know where to go! ”

Grandma Pan hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Lu Wangshu: "Madam, you're back!" ”

Su Xiaoman nodded, got up and turned his head to ask Pearl, "Where did the master go today?" ”

"If you go back to Mrs., my lord got up this morning and went out, saying that he had something important to do, and it is estimated that he will not come back tonight, so you don't have to worry!"

"Okay, I know, Wangshu has had dinner, why haven't you let him rest so late!"

Su Xiaoman looked at Pearl with a frown, and said, "Did the master say anything?" ”

Pearl squatted down: "Mrs. Hui, the master didn't say specifically, he just said that you don't have to worry, he will come back after he finishes his business!" ”

"Good! Alright, let's go to the room and rest! ”

Su Xiaoman didn't know where Lu Li went, he only knew that what he said must be urgent, and he didn't say that he would come back soon, even if he asked her to wait for a year and a half, she would be happy.

......

For a few days, Lu Li has not come back, the picture of the bird towards the phoenix is about to be completed, Su Xiaoman watched the other embroiderers complete the steps one by one according to the steps she arranged, and finally left only a finishing thing, that is, the title of the picture of the bird and the phoenix, the last five words were completed by Su Xiaoman, and the embroidery method is not like other calligraphy, but the font has evolved into a fancy, which more vividly expresses the artistic conception of the bird and the phoenix.

"Haha, that's great! I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly, thanks to Miss Su, if you didn't distribute these evenly, I don't know when it would be completed! ”

Wei Yuan looked at the completed embroidered picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's why I need other embroiderers' embroidery for reference, according to their own personal habits have been good at the type of distribution, so that the embroidery can be completed quickly, and it will not become abrupt, if the random distribution is easy to produce contradictions, or the embroidery is problematic."

Everyone looked at this picture and couldn't help but sigh, if Su Xiaoman completed it alone, it would take a year to complete it, and praised her talent, and it was her talent to recognize talents.

"I've worked hard for everyone these days, and I'll arrange a good banquet to treat you later!"

Suhannaran looked at the whole embroidery, the colors were bright and stern, the structure was rigorous, the life was expressive, the head was shaved flexibly, and it was harmonious and unified, and it was not at all obvious that it was done by dozens of people.

"Come on, put away the embroidery, wait for the official craftsman to finish the frame, and send it to the palace in three days!"

Wei Yuan called the official slave, and then turned to Su Xiaoman and said: "Three days later, Miss Su and this king will enter the palace together, if the imperial brother asks, I don't know how to answer!" ”

Su Xiaoman originally wanted to forget about the embroidery after embroidering, and planned to push it off and enter the palace, but Wei Yuan couldn't shirk it when he opened his mouth, so he had to agree first, and he estimated that Lu Li was almost time to come back, and he didn't know where Lu Li went for several days, if he didn't worry about it, it would be a lie.

It was still early when he returned to the inn, and Lu Li had already returned to the inn at this time.

"You're back?"

As soon as Su Xiaoman arrived at the door of the wing, he saw the familiar background standing in the room, and hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped his arms around his waist.

Lu Li turned to her with a deep brow, and asked dotingly, "Well, how are you doing recently?" ”

Su Xiaoman nodded, let go of her hand, only to feel a wet and sticky feeling between her fingers, and when she stretched out her hand, she saw that bright red blood stains were staining her fingers.

"You're hurt?"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head: "What's the matter, you see that I'm angry, where am I injured!" ”

"And where did your blood come from?"

Su Xiaoman looked at him questioningly, and Lu Li said again: "This bloodstain is from those black-clothed people before, I'll go clean them up!" ”

"Men in black? Didn't they all be killed when they were on the ship before? How can there be! ”

Su Xiaoman looked surprised.

Lu Li pulled her to sit next to the chair and explained: "A few days ago, I asked the secret guard to find out the news, and found that those water bandits were bought by the man in black, and he specially acted in that play to attack the west, although the man in black was killed, but the people who were caught had already taken poison and committed suicide, so he arranged a secret guard for the husband to follow those water bandits, and found that they had been in contact with the people in the palace, so he went to the husband in person, and only then did he find out that the person who poisoned was Xue Xiuhua, the niece of Concubine Yu. ”

Su Xiaoman looked at him in surprise, slapped it on the table, and said with disgust in his eyes: "It's her!" ”

Hatred instantly arose in my heart.

Lu Li said again: "So, I immediately sent someone to collect the evidence of her guilt and handed it over to the king, but on the way back, I was attacked by the man in black, which left blood, Madame, can you know that your husband is the enemy of those people!" ”

Su Xiaoman didn't care much about the process, what she wanted to know was how the villain who poisoned the child in her womb was disposed of now, Lu Li knew her thoughts, but the answer was not as satisfactory as he imagined.

Chu Yu did not dispose of Xue Xiuhua in accordance with the law, because the evidence described was not sufficient, but Xue Xiuhua was demoted, Lu Li had not found out that Concubine Yu's power was not huge at the beginning, but Xue Xiuhua could drive so many dead soldiers to obey orders, and there must be a mastermind behind it.

"Madame, don't be anxious, your husband will definitely kill your enemies and avenge our children!"

Thinking of the lost child, Su Xiaoman unconsciously touched his stomach, thought of Lu Wangshu's safety, and then looked at the hole on Lu Li's clothes that was pierced by a knife, thinking about the safety of the two, sighed and said: "Husband, if this matter is widely implicated, forget it, I don't want to get on fire!" Now that we've come out to this country, why don't we stay here forever? ”

Yes, if you are obsessed with revenge, then where the safety of other people is put at risk, it will only make hundreds of people in the Lu family have security risks.

Lu Li has never been a person who is greedy for power, if she says to leave, he will definitely go to the soup to complete it, but even if he wants to resign and retire, it depends on whether Chu Yu agrees.

"Okay, after we go back from our trip to Jiangnan, my husband will ask the king to resign!"

Su Xiaoman's forehead was deeply locked, as if she was thinking about something, Lu Li looked at her expression, and didn't know how to open her mouth to make her feel relieved, after all, this was a knot in her heart, if this matter was not resolved, I am afraid that she would not be stable in this life.

Shu stretched his eyebrows and smiled reluctantly: "Husband, rest early tonight, don't think about it, let's talk about it when we return to the vicissitudes!" ”

"Good!"

The original intention of this trip was to make Su Xiaoman happy, but he didn't think that he would be disinterested by these sudden people in black, Lu Li returned to Canglan this time and asked Chu Yu to give an explanation, but Chu Yu collapsed all day long, and he had no intention of ruling the government at all, and during the time he left Canglan, Xue Xiuhua didn't know how many tricks he used to return to his previous position.

Now most of the courtiers in the dynasty have been attached to Xue Xiuhua's power.

And Su Xiaoman and his entourage are still preparing to meet the saint and other matters in Jiangnan.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor's birthday

"Madam, the palace has sent someone to take you into the palace!"

Click......

Su Xiaoman opened the door neatly, Pearl had been waiting at the door for a long time, and saw that she was wearing a mid-color skirt made of several strips of fabric that were wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and her figure looked very slender, which contrasted with each other without losing her identity.

The three spikelets between the foreheads are placed in front of the forehead, and the hair bun on the top is crowned with a golden hairpin, which is decorated with a treasure ring, and the earrings also echo the spikelets between the foreheads, which is very clever and moving.

Su Xiaoman got into the carriage and followed the convoy to the gate of the palace, only to see the officials and slaves carefully inspecting, even if it was a prince, he would not let go of the slightest opportunity for assassins to enter.

The officers and soldiers stood tall in front of the palace gate in military uniforms, staring at the front with serious expressions, and even a fly did not dare to fly in, giving people a solemn and quiet feeling.

After the carriage passed the first palace gate, there were dozens of palace gate checkpoints one after another, the guards were quite strict, the palace was too big to see the edge, the palace wall was unfathomable, and there were other family members of the eunuchs, together with the sedan chair of the emperor's sister also entered the palace together.

The group came to Huafu Palace, only to see countless officials and family members sitting in front of the hall, there is still a period of time before the dedication, this time Su Xiaoman with pearls, not as boring as Concubine Yu before, but the country's costumes have attracted Su Xiaoman's attention, and her own dress is even more attention-grabbing.

However, due to identity issues, the place where Su Xiaoman sat was only a small corner.

"Spread the family members to the Hall of Eternal Life to meet you!"

The official slaves in the palace were summoned at the door, and everyone was talking and laughing to go to the Hall of Eternal Life, but Su Xiaoman walked at the back, after all, she didn't want to be too abrupt.

The Hall of Eternal Life is a banquet hall dedicated to longevity, relatively speaking, it is much wider than the Huafu Palace, it can accommodate thousands of people's seats, four large pillars stand in the hall, the pillars are carved with the shape of a real dragon, the scene is very splendid.

Su Xiaoman was arranged at the back table of Wei Yuan's seat, which was relatively not too conspicuous, and not only the princes and ministers were present, but also the emperor's relatives and envoys from other countries were also in front of the hall.

Pearl sat next to Su Xiaoman on the seat, looked at the table of delicacies, and said greedily: "Madam, the food here is really exquisite!" I want to drool when I look at it, and I want to eat it! ”

The voice seemed to make Su Hanalan listen, his eyes looked back, just facing each other, Su Xiaoman covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, his eyes skimmed the pearls: "Don't speak!" ”

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!"

The official slaves standing in the hall shouted loudly, everyone got up and bowed, and Su Xiaoman also followed suit.
