39. Old things

Shrinking on the carriage, Mo Yu grabbed Su Tian's arm, opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak, his face was terrifyingly white, and there were bursts of cold sweat on his forehead.

Su Tian knew that she was not a timid and cowardly woman, and sometimes her heart was so wide that she turned her head and forgot everything, but the moment she saw Xiao Zhen, her words were mean and her expression was full of disgust. If you don't care about it, how can you show such strong emotions? Thinking of the news that the secret guard had come back, Su Tian didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.

"It's okay, Mo Yu," Su tilted his hand and gave her comfort and support, "Inhale slowly, exhale again, yes, don't worry......"

He ...... I ......" Mo Yu was eager to explain, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Su Qian stroked her back and made her comfortable: "I understand, Mo Yu, you don't have to rush to explain anything to me, we still have a lot of time, you can wait for you to think about it, and talk about it slowly." ”

……

A storm just dissolved, but Su Tian became busier. Mo Yu watched him open a large box, and as soon as the lid of the box opened, the dust inside flew all over the house. She probed her brain curiously, but found that there were just some old bamboo slips in the box, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing when you turn these things out?" ”

Su Tian handed her a wet handkerchief: "Your lung injury can't stand such a big ash, just watch it from the side." Seeing her hide in place, she slowly explained to her: "This is the living note in the palace, I asked the Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang to get it, I originally just wanted to find out, those clan relatives and nobles have any handles, but I didn't expect it, but it reminded me of a few other things, by the way, check it out." ”

Mo Yu understood what he said, "find a handle", the Chu State has always paid attention to the family, and the children of the nobles hold important official positions, but they have no real talents. Su Qian wanted to make drastic reforms and appoint people from untouchable backgrounds, so he had to find some mistakes from the nobility first. Those moths don't do practical things, and it is difficult to find fault in doing things, so they can only make an article from their previous words.

Su Tian cleaned up, washed his hands, wrapped the ink rumor in his arms, and fed her medicine spoonful: "I looked at these living notes and found that Xiao Tunan, the right general back then, had repeatedly told the king that he should join forces to resist Qin. At that time, the state of Chu was strong, but he was able to detect the crisis in advance, and this open-minded vision was really rare. It's a pity that such a heroic figure ended up like that, and even the bones and descendants were missing. ”

The name Xiao Tunan is a taboo topic in the Chu State, and even the ink rumor is the first time I have heard it, so I can't interject it, so I can only listen with a blink of eyes.

"Speaking of which, it's the only thing I've done that I'm guilty of." Su Tian let out a long sigh.

He has been frail and sickly since childhood, and his family has not had much hope for him. At that time, the head of the Su family was his eldest brother Su Mingyu, when Su Tian was fourteen years old, Su Mingyu suddenly fell ill and died during the hunt, and the Su family fell overnight. At that time, Xiao Tunan led troops to force the palace and wanted to kill the Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang.

In order to save the situation, Su Tan had no choice but to frame Xiao Tunan's friend Meng Shuanghe, a military general who was on an envoy to Qin, and wanted to surrender to Qin. Xiao Tunan was lured into the palace to be killed, and Meng Shuanghe was furious, and he really took refuge in the Qin State.

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I always feel that people can't escape the coincidence of fate." Su Tian hugged Mo Yu in his lap and said slowly, "If this situation happens today, I have at least three ways to stop the situation from getting worse." Xiao Tunan is just an upright person, not a power-hungry person. Unfortunately, at that time, my eldest brother had just passed away, and I had no experience in politics, so I could only think of such a drastic method. No matter how much you regret it afterwards, it's too late. ”

Listening to the name Meng Shuanghe, Mo Yu vaguely felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. She stretched out her hand childishly, wanting to soothe Su Tian's tightly locked brows: "I can't blame you either, it's not like this in the court, either you die or I die." ”

"I don't regret killing Xiao Tunan, he has always opposed the Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang's imprisonment, and if the two conflict, I must stand on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhaoxiang. What I regret is that I only cared about luring Xiao Tunan into the palace at that time, but forgot to settle his family, and later heard that most of his wife and underage children were killed by the enemy. There is only one youngest son, who is missing. His wife and eldest daughter ......" Su Tian's voice trembled, and he could hardly speak, "The death was extremely tragic, and the palace maid who was sent to pretend to be buried later did not dare to come forward when she saw the tragic situation." ”

Men compete for the world, and it is always women who suffer and suffer. Mo Yu was not happy to hear it, and he lowered his hand and did not speak.

"It's all old years ago," Su Tian looked at her face and touched her head, "I'm going to meet someone, his talent is very good, and he is very bold and unruly, I intend to promote him." Will you accompany his wife for me later? ”

Mo Yu nodded and agreed, the person who can make Su Tian praise must be really good, and his wife should also be a well-informed woman.

When she went around to the front hall and saw a woman dressed in green, sitting at a rosewood table, holding a piece of pastry in each hand, she couldn't laugh or cry. As soon as the woman in green raised her eyes and saw her, she hurriedly stuffed the pastry into her mouth, ran over in three or two steps, and shouted: "Ink rumors! Ink ballads! It turned out to be you! ”

Mo Yu was hugged by Qingzhu and couldn't breathe, and while pushing her, he said: "Have you wiped your hands, the dregs of dim sum have rubbed my body......"

Qingzhu took two steps back, rubbed his hand on himself, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's clean this time." Then he pulled the ink rumor and looked up and down: "Just now Yu Chu said that I asked the future wife of Lord Su Tian to accompany me, I haven't taken it seriously, and the wife of an adult can't talk to me together." Unexpectedly, the wife of this big man turned out to be you. ”

Mo Yu glared at her: "I'm not as shameless as you." The person who Su Tian praised vigorously turned out to be Yu Chu, which was really unexpected by Mo Yu. In her heart, Yu Chu is still the one who eats soft rice, and she can't get along with the word Caixue.

Qingzhu thought for a moment, and then asked, "It seems that Lord Su Tian is good to you, but why is your face so bad?" What about that Zizhen, even I can see what he thinks about you, and you're done like this? ”

"I have nothing to do with him," Mo Yu lowered his head, not wanting to talk about the topic, and forced a smile, "It's like being bitten by a dog, and you can't bite it back." ”

Su Tian had a very happy conversation with Yu Chu, and wanted to keep him for dinner in Fengyuan Palace. Su Tian was accustomed to living in seclusion and rarely entertaining outsiders, and it seemed that he was indeed satisfied with Chu. At the dinner table, Mo Yu looked at Yu Chu a few more times, I don't know if it is because people rely on clothes, Yu Chu also showed a bit of strategizing momentum when he made a gesture. Mo Yu secretly stuck out his tongue, he really looked away from it before.

When the meal was served, Mo Yu first sandwiched a piece of smoked rabbit meat. Before he could put it in his mouth, he was pressed by Su Tian on his wrist: "This is too salty, it's not good for your lung disease." Mo Yu pulled and pulled and refused to let go, Su Tian firmly pressed her hand, lowered his head and leaned over, and stuttered the rabbit meat on the tip of her chopsticks.

Qingzhu was on the other side, watching the small movements of the two of them, poked Yu Chu with his elbow, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Lord Su Tian is very considerate, much better than Zizhen." Yu Chu is not as heartless as Qingzhu, he clearly knows who Zizhen is, it is not easy to mention it at this time, so he can only cough to cover up the past, urging Qingzhu: "Eat quickly." ”

When sending Yu Chu away, Su Tian was very kind to Qingzhu and told her: "If you have time, come to the palace more often, accompany Mo Yu, she has to recuperate now, and she can't go out often." If you come often, she won't get bored. ”

Yu Chu pulled Qingzhu down the steps before whispering to her: "In the future, in front of these two people, don't mention Zizhen again, not half a word." ”

Qingzhu was puzzled: "Lord Su Tian is not such a stingy person, and he won't dislike her just because Mo Yu has had this experience." Yu Chu looked at her naΓ―ve, and laughed angrily: "Anyway, don't mention it, don't mention it, the ink rumor is still a trivial matter, the old accounts between the two of them really cost lives, you remember it." ”
