When Su Ying heard the news, it was like a thunderclap exploded above her head, she was shocked and scared, and when she saw Yun Luo stumbling and saying that she couldn't say clearly, she had to tell the palace people to prepare a sedan chair for her and rushed to Chaoyang Hall to see Pei Zhao.

In front of the palace gate, except for Tong He, there was no half of the figure, Su Ying asked, "Is Your Majesty inside?" ”

Tong He nodded and said softly: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, if the Queen Mother wants to see Your Majesty at this time, I am afraid that something is wrong." ”

At this time, where could she care about anything proper, Tong He had to open the door of the temple for her, and as soon as the door opened, the strong smell of wine spread.

The time has passed, but there is no lamp in the Chaoyang Palace, in the gray darkness, a very tall figure sitting under the window can be faintly seen, she walked over slowly, Pei Zhao scattered wine jars under his feet, still holding a wine cup in his hand, seeing her lightly: "What are you doing?" ”

Pei Zhao is in a bad mood today, is it because of the third brother? Su Ying didn't know how to speak for a while, Pei Zhao smiled, looked at her fixedly, and asked, "Are you coming to me for Ye Jingzhi, or ...... Your third brother? ”

Although I don't know why he suddenly mentioned Ye Jingzhi, but hearing him take the initiative to mention the third brother, Su Ying's heart sank, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "I heard that my third brother was impeached by my father this morning, is it true?" ”

He drank wine in the Chaoyang Hall for a long time, but he felt more and more cold. He guessed that she would definitely come to him today, either for Ye Jingzhi's intercession, or for Su Chen, in short, not for him.

Although he had known such an outcome for a long time, he was still very sad in his heart, and he drank the wine in the cup with an expressionless face, and his voice was very calm:

"Su Chen is the Sanpin general of the Royal Forest Army, but he left his post without permission, causing trouble and disturbing the people, and he is even more suspected of corruption. Prime Minister Su Cheng killed his relatives in righteousness, and handed over the fold to the court this morning, asking for severe punishment of Su Chen. ”

She didn't want to believe that these two crimes could be committed by the third brother, and asked anxiously: "What mistake did my third brother commit?" ”

Pei Zhao said lightly: "Do you remember the frightened horse when you were in Kunlun Garden?" The horse was the most docile of breed, and it was only because of the saddle and poor workmanship that it stung the horse's back, and the horse was frightened. The steward in charge of the purchase of the imperial horse supervisor had already confessed, he was instructed by Su Chen, and secretly changed all the saddles except for the imperial horse, filling his own pockets, but he didn't want the horse, but he still let me run into it. ”

This is the first time he has called himself "I" in front of him, Su Ying felt a panic in his heart, Pei Zhao smiled coldly, and continued: "A few days ago, Su Chen was on duty, but he left his post without permission and went out to drink, and even used the strength of the wine to have an argument with other Yu Linlang, and he fought hard, and killed the shopkeeper in the tavern in the chaos. If there was no saddle, perhaps one eye could be turned a blind eye, but now he said that he could not let anything go. ”

Su Ying knew that Pei Zhao hated corrupt officials the most, and she never thought that one day the third brother would become such a person, but now that the evidence is conclusive, and it is her father's personal twists and turns, presumably the matter is ironclad.

Pei Zhao said lightly: "Do you want to intercede for your third brother?" ”

She was weak in her footsteps and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Pei Zhao quickly helped her up, she calmed down, held back her tears and said: "I won't intercede for my third brother, if it's wrong, it's wrong." At first, I just didn't believe that my third brother was such a good person, but I believed that you and Daddy wouldn't lie to me. She didn't look over, not wanting Pei Zhao to see the tears in her eyes: "If you are unhappy because of my third brother's affairs, then I will apologize to you on his behalf, and you drink less wine, I ...... I'll go back. ”

Pei Zhao was silent and watched her staggering away step by step with tears in her eyes, seeing that the figure was about to disappear outside the palace gate, he suddenly said: "I will let him go to Youzhou to be a centurion, if he changes his life from now on, I promise you that I will find an opportunity to transfer him back to Tianjing in the future, everything is as usual." ”

The third brother killed a person this time, and Pei Zhaolong's body was damaged due to corruption, although Su Ying didn't understand the government, he also knew that such a mistake was a heinous crime for anyone, and Pei Zhao was willing to deal with it like this, which was already a great forgiveness. Her tears finally fell with a "click", Pei Zhao advanced and walked to her side, hesitated for a moment, or lifted his sleeves to carefully wipe away her tears.

"Don't cry."

She nodded, squeezing out a smile that must be very ugly: "I won't cry, I am so grateful for you to be like this, I just feel very sorry for you." ”

"Between you and me, there has never been a right or wrong to say that." Pei Zhao seemed to sigh: "I give them a chance, I hope they don't teach me to be disappointed." ”

After all, I was reluctant to snub her.

Pei Zhao remembered that one day before, he had said something to Su Ying when he was chatting with her:

"You're not afraid of me, but I'm afraid of you."

Su Ying probably only regarded this sentence as a joke, and if he put it all over the day, no one would believe it. But he knew very well in his heart that this sentence was so true, and he was really afraid of her.

I'm afraid that she will be sick, I'm afraid that she will be sad, I'm afraid that she will be inexplicably involved in a vast dispute like now, I'm afraid that she will ...... I'm afraid that she will let herself see again and again, how much she likes Ye Jingzhi, and how happy she is when she is with Ye Jingzhi.

He had already seen clearly what Su Shi was planning, and it was at this time that he realized that she was as lonely as he was. For the sake of rights, those family members have abandoned her a long time ago, and no one has ever thought about it, if things fail, what kind of life will she, the daughter of the Su family, live under her own noses?

He originally thought it was no big deal, others didn't want her, and he, he had the ability to protect her well, but her heart was wandering, he had everything, but he couldn't get what he wanted most.

Three days later, it was the day when Su Chen left Tianjing, because Su Shi fell ill at home, and he left Beijing again this time, so only Mrs. Su, An Junyi and two younger brothers came to see him off.

Su Wei and Su Huo were busy doing some favors, Su Chen kowtowed to Mrs. Su a few times, and said with a wry smile: "The son is not filial, and he can't be filial under the knees of his father and mother, please take care of your father and mother, don't hurt your mind for the unfilial son!" ”

Mrs. Su sobbed: "Chen'er, don't say stupid things, you are your mother's child, but your mother can't protect you, if it's not ......"

"Mother is cautious!" Su Chen said in a deep voice: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, for the sake of the Su family, my son has no regrets about doing anything." ”

The city gate suddenly opened, an ordinary carriage came slowly, the groom lifted the curtain and helped a young woman down, or An Junyi's eyes were sharp, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Ah Yu? ”

Su Ying was wearing an ordinary woman's skirt and ran over quickly, seeing that the third brother looked haggard, but his eyes were still bright, and his heart was sour.

Mrs. Su hurriedly said, "Ah Yu, how did you get out?" Your Majesty, does he know? ”

"I've told him, and he's promised." Su Ying sniffed: "Third brother, you ...... You must take care of yourself and wait until you come back next time you can see your child. ”

Su Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to cut Su Ming's hair: "Ah Jin, the third brother is most sorry for you, the third brother regrets it now, he didn't teach you to ride a horse at the beginning." ”

She was afraid that the third brother would be sad, so she tried her best to hold back her tears and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've learned it." ”

The two officials who escorted Su Chen on the road collected the money, and saw that the person who committed such a big crime was even named a centurion, which shows the weight of the Su family in the heart of the Son of Heaven. Naturally, they didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Su, it's almost time, please move." ”

Su Chen nodded to An Junyi and Su Ying with a smile, saluted Mrs. Su again, and got into the car without looking back. An Junyi stared at the carriage motionlessly, until she could no longer see it, and then turned back to Su Ying and said, "Have you forgotten what your sister-in-law told you?" What happens at home has nothing to do with you, what do you run out to do? ”

"Your sister-in-law is right, you are the queen mother of Da Cao, how can you easily show up, Wei'er, help your sister into the car!"

Su Wei and Su Hui were very happy to see their sister, but when they heard their mother and sister-in-law's suddenly stern tone, they had no choice but to send Su Ying into the carriage and whispered: "Brothers can't protect you now, Ah Ying himself should be careful in the palace." ”

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Su Jin's heart was in chaos. She suddenly remembered that when she was very young, her father specially invited his master to teach them to read in the house, and at that time, the third brother didn't like books the most, and always thought about dancing with guns and sticks, and was punished by his father to kneel several times and did not change. The biggest trouble was when he injured the weak little boy of the Fuguo Gong's family, Wenwen, who was locked in the study by his father and starved, she quietly sent a plate of snacks to the third brother, at that time, the third brother once said to her:

"Ah Ming, what's the use of just being able to study? The third brother will be a majestic military attache in the future, and use a good martial arts to protect my peace. Later, he really became the only military attache of the Su family, why did the future he longed for in the past be ruined in his own hands?

In the eyes of others, the third brother is only afraid that he is no different from those who are extremely guilty in the book, but when she saw the third brother, she suddenly understood that that person will always be the third brother who loves her, no matter what others think, the third brother will always be her dearest relative. I heard that Youzhou is one of the most bitter and cold places in Dacao, and when the third brother arrives there, he doesn't know what kind of suffering he will suffer.

And also...... Daddy is sick at home, is he seriously ill? He must have been very sad to impeach his son. The third sister-in-law suffered such a blow while pregnant with a child, what should she do?

All kinds of things gradually twisted into a tough rope in her heart, and she couldn't breathe. The palace door of Changle Palace opened, Duan Niang and Yun Luo waited anxiously in front of the door, and pulled Su Ying into the hall.

Pei Ming had already been coaxed to swing by Xiao Huangmen, she didn't expect Ye Jingzhi to be still inside, and there was concern in her eyes looking at her, so she smiled at Ye Jingzhi reluctantly: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Ye?" ”

Ye Jingzhi glanced at her worriedly, and deliberately didn't mention her father's affairs at home, but just took out a thick picture album from his arms: "Xia Guan thought that the Queen Mother might be a little bored recently, so he made a thing for the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom, please don't dislike the Queen Mother." ”

She took it and looked at it hastily, it turned out to be a book, the stories in it were copied in regular script uprightly, the handwriting was elegant and beautiful, presumably written by Ye Jingzhi himself, and each story was also illillustrated, which was very interesting.

She always felt very relaxed in front of Ye Jingzhi, like the feeling when she was with her brothers, even in front of Pei Zhao, she couldn't be so comfortable. Su Ying hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke cautiously: "If Mr. Ye is not busy in the future, he will take the time to come and talk to me and Ah Ming, is it okay?" ”

Ye Jingzhi glanced at her secretly and said in a low voice, "The lower official obeys the order." ”
