Su Ying tried her best to hold back her tears, holding on to the head of the bed and trying to stand up, she wanted to go over and help her father up, today it shouldn't be her father kneeling in front of her so coldly, even if she wants to kneel, that person should be her. But she was heavy in the end, and she felt difficult to move a little, and finally stood up, but her body shook again, and she almost slipped down, but fortunately, Yuanlu cleaned up the bed soft and thick in advance, and her fifth brother Su Wei rushed over quickly and supported her steadily, so nothing happened. With tears in her eyes, she cried out again: "Daddy! ”

Su Shi was still kneeling in place, unable to see any expression on his face, the eldest son Su Xian, who was kneeling behind him, raised his eyes and looked at his sister, he couldn't bear it, so he had to whisper: "Father, Ah Jin's body is important, let's talk to her today, father should get up." ”

Su Wei wiped her tears for Su Jin, and said hurriedly: "Father, Ah Ying is your favorite child, besides, what can she do as a little girl in the palace?" Even if you want to blame, you shouldn't take your anger out on Ah Jin! As he spoke, he glanced at Su Xian, and Su Xian got up to help his father up.

Su Shi was silent for a long time, and finally let his son help him up, walked in front of Su Yin, and sighed slowly: "Ah Jin, you ...... You...... Are you doing well? There are people in the palace who bully you, the daily food is not fragrant, and there is an accident at home, he ...... Did he embarrass you? ”

Su Jin's tears finally flowed uncontrollably, she tugged on Su Shi's sleeve tightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm doing well...... He...... He was also very good to me...... Daddy, don't be angry, it's me who did something wrong......"

Su Shi sighed again and said softly: "Look at you, you are already a person who wants to be a mother, why do you still know how to cry in front of your father like before?" His gaze stayed on Su Jin's stomach for a moment, and then said, "Can your body stand it?" ”

Su Ying didn't dare to let her father worry, so she said: "I can stand it, although it is hard, but it is not too uncomfortable, the imperial doctor said that the delivery period is these few days." ”

Su Shi nodded and patted the back of her hand: "I remember when your mother was pregnant with you, the reaction was not as big as the previous few times, at that time we thought, this baby is so well-behaved, it must be a daughter, in a blink of an eye, my daughter also became a mother, but it's a pity that ......"

Su Shi didn't say the second half of the sentence, Su Ying roughly guessed what he meant, and her heart was bitter, so she had to divert the conversation and ask, "Are your mothers and sisters-in-law okay?" ”

Su Xian said: "Mother, they are very good, your second brother was originally going to come to see you, but now the family is not very peaceful, it is better to leave someone in charge at home." ”

The family is not very peaceful.

Su Ying remembered what Pei Zhao had said to her before, only to feel that her heart was "thumping", she barely settled down, hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "Daddy, I know everything at home." ”

Su Xian and Su Wei's faces changed when they heard this, but Su Shi smiled and asked her, "What do you know?" ”

Su Ying didn't expect her father to have such an attitude, as if she had guessed it a long time ago, she was even more confused, so she had to say honestly: "The matter between our family and Pei Yu...... But don't worry, Daddy, he promised me that I would never hurt your lives, as long as Daddy and my brothers fulfill their duties in the future, be loyal and patriotic, then ......"

"Fulfill your duties, be loyal and patriotic?" Su Shi smiled coldly, looked at Su Ming's face, and said indifferently: "Ah Jin, you tell your father, in this situation, where does your father still have a job, and which gentleman will he be loyal to?" ”

Since Su Ying grew up like this, it was the first time she had seen her father like this, her expression and words were filled with endless hatred and anger, but it was Pei Zhao who was targeted, she felt so uncomfortable, and racked her brains to persuade: "Daddy, Pei Zhao is the emperor of this emperor, it is the will of the first emperor himself, he did not do anything to usurp the throne, besides, Pei Zhao is ...... He is a very good emperor, what he was like before he ascended the throne, and what he has been like for more than a year, you must know better than me, right? Daddy used to teach us that we must abide by the word 'loyalty', such a Ming Jun, why can't Daddy assist him like the first emperor? ”

Su Shi's face became gloomy when she spoke, and at this time, she looked straight at her and didn't speak, Su Ying panicked, and saw that Su Xian's expression was also quite solemn, so she had to pull Su Wei's sleeve, Su Wei was her youngest brother, and he had always been the closest to her, but this time he didn't help her speak as usual. She was at a loss for a long time, and finally heard Su Xian sigh:

"Sister, you are really much more sensible than before, in this case, the eldest brother will tell you that if he hadn't deliberately suppressed the Su family after he ascended the throne, we wouldn't have broken the boat, and we expected the current situation from the beginning, but what is the way? Now that you have taken the first step, you can only continue to move forward without hesitation. ”

Su Ying said: "Then the eldest brother told me, how did he suppress the Su family?" ”

"You don't have to understand these things." Su Xian said: "You just need to remember that you are a member of our Su family, and of course you have to stand with your family at such a time." ”

"If I don't understand who is right and who is wrong, how can I decide which side to take?"

Su Xian looked at the sister in front of him who had hurt him since he was a child, five years, she had become a slim girl, but in his heart, Ah Ying had always been the little doll who was chirping "big brother, big brother" in the past, and was carried on his shoulder to go to the night market, he never thought that Ah Ying would say such a thing, let alone that this sentence was like a loud bang in his face, which made him feel a little trance.

Who is right and who is wrong in this game?

At the beginning, seeing that Pei Yu had no future at all, they really wanted to be Pei Zhao's courtiers conscientiously, but after that, among the young officials promoted and reused by Pei Zhao, more than half of them were arrogant people from poor backgrounds and unconventional, and the old ministers led by the Su family accepted so many protégés, and few were promoted and reused.

Then, the folds they presented were rejected one after another, either "useless, only whitewashed the peace", or "this move is already outdated at the moment, and needs to be broken and changed", their Su family is a hundred years of gate valve aristocrats, and none of the kings of the past dynasties dared to put the people of the Su family in the most important position, but it was he Pei Zhao who gave the Su family such a great shame!

And then ...... Su Xian subconsciously glanced at Su Ying, when Pei Yu's secret letter reached the family, he and his second brother had already seen the heartbeat and desire hidden in their father's eyes, and so did they. Pei Yu's beating and warning when Ah Yu fell into the water was actually just the last blow, but what really made them make up their minds was Pei Yu's sentence "If it becomes a big thing, Yu will treat Su Xiang with the gift of his father, and the five sons of the Su family will be knighted and included in the royal name, so as to ensure that the lintel of the Su family will not fall for ten thousand years." ”

If people have been in a high position for too long, it would be an offense to even "remain unchanged as always", not to mention that Pei Zhao personally pulled them down from the top of the clouds! Pei Yu's promises are like fine wine mixed with arsenic, they know how dangerous this is, but how many people in the world can resist such a temptation? !

Now that he thinks about it, Su Xian can't help but feel palpitations, he has to admit that although Pei Zhao's various behaviors make the Su family unhappy, it is the best thing to do, not to mention, just the trade after the envoys returned to the dynasty a few years ago, not only made the treasury full, but also gave many people an extra way to earn money. Is it for the sake of the court, for the first emperor, or for their own glory and wealth?

The more Su Xian thought about it, the more weak his heart became, and he didn't dare to look directly into his sister's eyes for a while, Su Shi, who had been sitting silently on the side, sighed again and said, "Ah Yin, it's too late to see who is right and who is wrong." Daddy only told you that now that the Su family is in great trouble, even if he doesn't kill us, we are not willing to survive, unless, you are willing to take action to help the Su family tide over the difficulties. ”

Su Ying was in a state of confusion, and subconsciously asked, "How can I help?" ”

"Tomorrow, my father will impeach His Majesty together with His Royal Highness King De, and the crime is ......" He looked at Su Ying with an unchanged face, and said slowly: "Ignoring human ethics and humiliating my mother." Daddy asked you, would you like to go to the Xuanzheng Hall tomorrow to testify for Daddy? ”

The four words "humiliating my mother" were like thunder on the ground, which shook her heart and almost fell straight down, Su Wei hurriedly supported her and looked at Su Shi in disbelief: "Father, the court struggle is our business, why do you want to pull Ah Ying in?" You let her go to the court with her stomach up and show her face, if it happens, what will she have face in the future? If ......" he gritted his teeth: "If things don't work out, then how will Your Majesty treat Ah Ying harshly?" ”

"Whether she succeeds or not, she has to be like this, who made her the daughter of the Su family, who made her do such a shameless thing!" Su Shi's gentle face gradually became distorted under the questioning of his youngest son, he glared at Su Ying fiercely, and said, "Don't think that because you have Pei Zhao's child, he can value you so much!" Daddy told you that all the people who are kings are ruthless and cold-hearted, let alone him?! He is not even close to his own biological parents, and he is not even merciful to his younger brother, do you really think that he will be good to you for the rest of his life?! ”

Su Ying only felt a palpitation, like a hand stirring vigorously in her chest, which made her feel painful: "Pei Zhao is not such a person, besides...... And I did it willingly! Daddy, I will never testify against him tomorrow, and I beg you not to be confused any longer, Pei Zhao promised me to protect your lives, so I never told you about Pei Yu, if you make such a fuss tomorrow, won't everyone know about it, how will he protect you at that time? ”
