Chapter 51: Counterattack
As soon as Su Yunlai's words fell, Su Zhan pointed at her angrily and said, "Aren't you very smart?!" Why are you stupid at this time? What the hell are you thinking? Su Yunzhen obviously has bad intentions, she asked you to go to Fahua Temple, and you obediently followed her? People don't even know if they sell it! ”
Su Yunlai smiled bitterly, lowered his head and obediently admitted his mistake: "This matter is indeed my carelessness, I didn't expect her to be so bold and actually do the wrong thing to kidnap people." ”
In fact, Su Yunlai really can't be blamed for this, even the kidnappers didn't expect that Su Yunzhen, a little girl, could be so ruthless to her sister of the same clan, Su Yunlai.
In her eyes, Su Yunzhen was just a little girl who was a little cautious, and she didn't expect that she would be able to take risks to this point.
When Su Yunzhen invited her, she was also on guard in her heart, but she was just ...... Su Yunlai glanced at Gu Junyan vaguely, she thought that her heart had been kept like water, but she didn't expect that if she relaxed a little, she was still disturbed by him.
However, this incident can be regarded as a lesson for Su Yun, she is always too smooth, and always thinks that she can protect her parents and relatives, but this time she has fallen behind, which can be regarded as a kind of growth.
"Third brother, I'm sorry, don't be angry, I didn't expect ......," Su Yunlai said pitifully.
Li Sheng looked at Su Zhan with a disapproving expression and said, "Ah Zhan, what are you doing here?" Miss Su was already frightened after this change, you didn't comfort her, but you still had to blame her, did you do this? ”
Gu Junyan's expression was unswerving, but he said: "She can be lost casually, I can find it." ”
Su Zhan: "......"
Su Zhan looked at Li Sheng and Gu Junyan, who were dissatisfied, and then at the aggrieved Su Yunlai, and silently swallowed the words that he wanted to blame, not that he was not angry, but that he had already made up his mind, and in the future, he would choose a time when no one was there to scold her, otherwise there were too many people to protect her, and he would not be able to provoke any of them.
Su Yunlai looked at Su Zhan with an innocent face, and finally Su Zhan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, you rest first, let's talk about it later." ”
Su Yunlai shook his head: "It's okay, I also want to tell you about it, so that you can find out as soon as possible." After a pause, she said, "I don't think this matter was necessarily done by the second prince. ”
Li Sheng and Su Zhan glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, only Gu Junyan said at this time: "If you are kidnapped, you have to look like you have been kidnapped, you have a good rest, we will deal with these things." ”
Su Yunlai frowned slightly, and glanced at him unhappily, just like that, Gu Junyan looked a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly and said, "If you want to help us, can you wait until you are rested?" You've just come back, and the doctor says you shouldn't overthink it. ”
After Gu Junyan finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he was a little dissatisfied with his attitude of easily compromised, and gently pressed his eyebrows.
Li Sheng said softly: "Miss Su is also kind," after a pause, he continued, "Ah Zhan and I have also thought about it, about the real main messenger, this matter looks like the second prince framed the fourth prince, but this method is too rough, but if the fourth prince thief shouts to catch the thief, it is also a little unreasonable, he completely exposed his outer house, it can be said that he sent a handle to us, just to frame the second prince, wound the enemy 10,000 and lose 8,000, and it is also a little unreasonable." ”
Su Yunlai nodded: "Your Highness is thoughtful, it is true, but one thing is certain, this matter has nothing to do with the second prince!" After a pause, she said: "Now that the fourth prince has been snubbed by the emperor, the second prince is the time to be favored, there is no need to do this, once the matter fails, his efforts will be in vain, and he did this just to deal with my third brother, and the price is too great." ”
"You think it's so complicated, I think it's very simple." Gu Junyan opened his mouth at this time and said: "Such a straightforward method of kidnapping and framing is inevitably too rough, it doesn't look like it came from the hands of the two princes, but it looks like the handiwork of the women in the inner courtyard. ”
Su Yunlai was stunned, and Su Zhan blurted out: "Su Yunzhen! What the major general said makes sense! It was Su Yunzhen who led Ah Wan to Fahua Temple, and the one who could get in touch with Su Yunzhen must be a woman! ”
"I've already ordered someone to take a good look at Su Yunzhen, and wait, I don't believe that the person behind this is not showing his feet." Gu Junyan said coldly.
After speaking, Su Yunlai was also a little tired, and a few people dispersed to let her rest.
Su Yunlai was lying on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, she kept thinking about Su Zhan's questioning, what was she thinking, how could she fall for Su Yunzhen?
It's because Gu Junyan's words messed up her heart, so does she have him in her heart? Su Yunlai touched his heart, only dazed.
A sound of footsteps came, and Su Yunlai couldn't help but look forward to it.
Princess Wuyang looked at Su Yunlai, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I saw disappointment in your eyes, who do you think is the person who came?" ”
Su Yunlai smiled slightly: "Why is the princess here?" ”
"Come and see you." After Princess Wuyang finished speaking, she sat on the edge of the bed, "You are missing this time, but it frightens Li Sheng, I have never seen him so anxious." ”
Su Yunlai was stunned, and some didn't understand what she meant.
Princess Wuyang continued: "You may not know, Li Sheng has always been used to being cautious, doing things cautiously, looking forward and backward, although I often make fun of him for not looking like a man, but I know in my heart that he can't do anything, he has to be cautious and careful in everything, not only to protect himself, but also to protect me, otherwise if you are not careful, you will lose your life." ”
Su Yunlai nodded, Li Sheng's situation is not too much to use as walking on thin ice, in fact, it is always rumored that Princess Wuyang has an arrogant and domineering personality, and she followed Gu Yanshan to the border pass willfully, but she didn't think so, Princess Wuyang went to the border pass is much safer than staying in the capital, Gu Yanshan is her uncle after all, and she will not harm her, if she stays here, with Princess Wuyang's rough and leafy temperament, she will not know how many times she has been calculated.
"He has always adhered to the rules, for fear of being caught, but this time, he violated the curfew for you, and went out to find you, I have never seen him so resolute." Princess Wuyang looked at Su Yunlai and said seriously: "Ah Wan, you have always been smart, you won't know what this means. ”
Su Yunlai smiled bitterly, what's the matter lately, one by two came to tell her these words, could it be that the peach blossoms in the past life and this life are now going to be made up together?
Su Yunlai thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has worked hard, and I feel the guilt of the five, but it's just ...... It's just that I never dared to think about it too much. ”
"What if you dare?" Princess Wuyang continued: "Although he is my brother, I don't mean good things for him, he is really a rare person, he has a hard life, I really can't bear to watch him go on like this." After a pause, she added, "I saw him just now, and I asked him if it was worth it?" Maybe tomorrow he will face the impeachment of Yushi, but he told me, Wuyang, if you meet that person, you will understand that some things are not worth it or not, but you can't help yourself. ”
"You are his heart involuntarily." Princess Wuyang said solemnly.
Su Yunlai was stunned for a moment, and the appearance of the moist man smiling appeared in her mind, and finally she shook her head and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is wrong to love, and I can't repay it." ”
Princess Wuyang's eyes showed deep disappointment, and she stood up: "That's it, you have a good rest, I won't tell him these words, so you shouldn't know." ”
Su Yunlai didn't speak, and sometimes it was more difficult to bear to be disappointed than to be let down.
On the second day, Su Yunlai insisted on returning to Su Mansion.
Li Sheng didn't know what Princess Wuyang said to Su Yun, but seeing that she insisted on leaving, he was a little disappointed: "You are not in good health, why don't you stay and rest for a few more days, just so you can be with Wuyang, Ah Zhan has already gone back to report to your family, you can stay and recuperate with peace of mind." ”
Su Yunlai said with a smile: "Where is there an injury, those people haven't had time to do anything to me, they have already disturbed His Highness too much, and they really have no shame to stay." ”
Li Sheng looked at her smile and muttered to himself, "I don't think you're bothering me again." ”
"What did Your Highness say?" Su Yunlai asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing," Li Sheng smiled slightly, like a spring breeze: "Since you are leaving, I will let someone arrange it first." ”
Su Yunlai nodded: "There is His Royal Highness Lao." ”
Li Sheng walked out of the room and happened to see Princess Wuyang outside the door.
Princess Wuyang raised her eyebrows: "I obviously don't want people to go, but I still have to arrange a trip for others, Li Sheng, can you not be so hypocritical?" ”
Li Sheng sighed, "Is it true that in your opinion, as long as you don't live as you want, it's all hypocrisy?" ”
Princess Wuyang didn't speak, but her expression spoke for itself.
Li Sheng smiled, didn't care about her attitude, but said: "Wuyang, when I can't give her anything, letting go is a kind of fulfillment." ”
Princess Wuyang looked at the astringent smile on his face, and suddenly couldn't say anything teasing.
"But, won't you be unwilling?" Princess Wuyang asked in a low voice.
obviously met the person you liked, can't you be together, wouldn't you be unwilling?
Li Sheng said: "Who made me not strong enough, but it's okay, just appreciation, not to the point where she has to be, so it's already good." ”
He is not strong enough, so he can't calmly have the woman he loves, and he hasn't fallen in love yet, so he can let go now, so it's the best choice for them to end here.
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, his steps were steady, but his back was lonely.
Princess Wuyang muttered to herself: "No, if I meet it, I won't let go, and I will never let go." ”
After Princess Wuyang finished speaking, she took out a letter in her hand, which she had just received this morning, sent by Gu Yanshan, he had already chosen a husband candidate for her, and she could get married only if she agreed.
She looked at the letter, tore it to shreds, threw it on the ground, and strode away.
……
When Su Yunlai returned to Su Mansion safely, Su Yunzhen's eyes almost popped out, and she snorted and said, "Seven, seventh sister? You're back? ”
Su Yunlai smiled slightly, but his smile was a little indifferent: "Yes, I'm back, which makes the second sister worried." ”
Su Yunzhen's expression changed and changed, and finally said: "Go back, just come back, it's really scared to death, Seventh Sister, you can't walk around like this next time." ”
It was as if Su Yunlai was running around by himself.
Su Yunlai didn't bother to bother with her, so he went back to listen to Yuxuan.
Su Zhan was so angry: "Just let her go like this? This time I colluded with outsiders to kidnap you, maybe I will poison you next time! ”
Su Yunlai said helplessly: "Otherwise, what should we do, we don't have any evidence, she won't admit it." ”
This time it was Su Zhan's turn to be silent, paused, and gritted his teeth: "Look at it!" I don't believe she can really do it seamlessly! ”
After saying that, he hurried away.
Su Yunlai shook his head helplessly.
Back at home, it was still a familiar environment, but Su Yunlai didn't feel the slightest warmth, but only depression, it was a feeling of being surrounded by enemies, and the people who lived here were not her relatives, but they were all her enemies, and she didn't know when someone would come out to calculate her again.
What surprised Su Yunlai was that from the time she got out of danger to the time she went home, she didn't see Gu Junyan, when she was in Fahua Temple before, she was injured, and Gu Junyan came to see her, but this time she didn't.
Su Yun didn't know what it was like in his heart, but he just felt ...... There is some loss.
Li Sheng quickly investigated the truth of the matter, and it was a very unexpected candidate to kidnap Su Yunlai with Su Yunzhen, this person was actually the county lord of Anning.
"I used to be small Su Yunzhen, Su Yunzhen found the county lord of Anning at a party and told her that the person His Royal Highness the eldest grandson likes is you, and the county lord of Anning was really fooled and said that he would teach you a lesson." Su Zhan talked to Su Yun about the results of the investigation.
"What about the second prince and the fourth prince?" Su Yunlai asked again.
"This is her cleverness, she didn't deal with you enough, and wanted to make meritorious service for Su Jie in front of the second prince by the way, she told Su Jie to let him help send you to the fourth prince's courtyard, so that the four princes could be blamed, so that the emperor would completely dislike the four princes." Su Zhan continued: "The house you don't detain is the one that Su Jie found through the power of the second prince. ”
After listening to Su Yunlai, it suddenly dawned on him that Su Yunzhen's hand was really killing two birds with one stone, if the matter was successful, not to mention getting rid of Su Yunlai, but also letting Su Jie make a meritorious contribution in front of the second prince; If the matter is revealed, it will be even better, there are four princes who carry the black pot for them, and when the time comes, whether it is Su Yunzhen or the second prince, they will all be clean.
Su Yunlai has always felt that Su Yunzhen is not a simple character, the fourth wife and the fifth wife were on the same page before, Su Yunfei didn't calculate that she fell into the water, and lost face, but only Su Yunzhen was safe and sound, but this incident gave Su Yunlai a more intuitive feeling.
It turns out that Su Yunzhen is not simple!
Su Yunlai curled the corners of her lips: "Since she is so calculating, then we can't let her down." ”
Su Zhan raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?" ”
"I have always thought that the biggest revenge on a person is to let her hopes be disappointed, she wants to get rid of me, and she also wants the fifth brother to make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately, she can't achieve either of these two goals!" After Su Yun finished speaking, he whispered a few words in Su Zhan's ear.
After listening to her words, Su Zhan glanced at her calmly: "I kind of understand, even if Su Yunzhen cares about it, she can't calculate you!" ”
Su Yunlai: "......"
That doesn't sound like a good thing.
……
Sure enough, as Princess Wuyang expected, Li Sheng went out of the city in the middle of the night and committed a curfew, and on the second day, Li Sheng was impeached in the imperial history, but compared with this incident, another thing attracted more attention, that is, the four princes were exposed in outsourcing to raise famous prostitutes.
Now several princes are not married, at this time to make such a scandal, in fact, it is very unfavorable to them, although the style of the problem can not explain anything, but it can also reflect the character of the princes, a prince who is greedy for beauty, it doesn't sound very reliable.
The emperor is now very indifferent to the four princes, and this scandal has occurred, and he is even more angry, and he angrily reprimanded the four princes in public, scolding the four princes so much that they can hardly raise their heads.
Chen Guifei ran outside the emperor's study to cry and plead, but she didn't even see the emperor's face.
However, the fourth prince did not admit it, but shouted that he was wronged, and then went into the palace to find the emperor.
Of course, the kidnapped girl was not Su Yunlai, but an ordinary folk girl, of course the emperor refused to believe it, but this girl revealed a small secret.
It turned out that the second prince had been at the emperor's birthday banquet, introducing hot spring water into the hot spring villa of the palace, the original owner was not the second prince, but an ordinary businessman, that is, the girl's father, the second prince in order to occupy the hot spring villa, the merchant was sentenced to prison on a charge, and was tortured to death in prison.
And the reason why this girl was able to escape was completely because she was saved by the four princes.
The fourth prince said with tears in his eyes: "Erchen didn't want to use this matter to bother his father, and the second emperor's brother also wanted to properly arrange this girl's life in order to celebrate his father's birthday, but he didn't expect it to lead to a misunderstanding between his father, and Erchen was really wronged." ”
Emperor Qianyuan himself wronged him, and he was a little reluctant to go, anyway, most of the anger in his heart was gone, but he went to the second prince.
"Give me a birthday to frame the people! Forcibly seized the people's property?! He did such a thing, and he still used me as a reason?! Emperor Qianyuan was furious, "You don't have to quibble for him!" ”
Emperor Qianyuan is a person with a good face, what he wants to do most is the king of benevolence, listening to the people praise him as a Ming Jun who loves the people like a son, otherwise for so many years, Li Sheng would not have lived well until now, if it weren't for his reputation, Emperor Qianyuan would have killed Li Sheng in a hundred ways.
Therefore, what Emperor Qianyuan couldn't tolerate the most was for others to do things that hurt the people in his name.
"Erchen is really helpless, a few days ago, Erchen's other courtyard was robbed, so he went to kill people and kill people, at that time, thanks to Major General Gu passing by, it was considered to have saved Miss Li's life, and if you don't believe in your father, you can also ask the young general!"
Now Emperor Qianyuan can't believe it, Gu Junyan entered the palace and told Emperor Qianyuan about the events of the day, and also returned all the clues found to Emperor Qianyuan, and it was none other than Su Jie who sent people to the four princes' mansions that day!
Su Jie is the companion of the second prince, which is well known.
The evidence is conclusive, and the second prince has no quibble.
Emperor Qianyuan was furious and scolded the second prince into the palace, he was really angry, and his voice was so loud that he could even listen to it outside the palace.
The second prince stood outside the hall, listening to the voice inside and hooking the corners of his lips, just now Emperor Qianyuan just reprimanded him here, and now it is the turn of the second prince, it is really feng shui in turn.
In the end, the queen mother rushed over when she heard the news, knelt outside the door to intercede for the second prince, and the emperor looked at the queen's face, and finally had the crime of curing the second prince.
"However, according to Emperor Qianyuan's attitude towards the four princes in the past, the second prince is now afraid that he will 'also' fall out of favor." Su Zhan held the chess piece and said to Su Yun.
This matter has been dealt with, and Su Zhan also has time, and the first thing he did when he came back was to come to Su Yun to 'learn' chess skills.
"Falling out of favor is only temporary, after all, it is the emperor's own son." Su Yunlai said lightly: "But this is enough for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”
"This time the matter is also thanks to the young general, your method is a good method, but it is very troublesome to implement, the young general is busy with this matter, and he has not seen anyone for several days, he is worthy of being a young general, the work is clean and beautiful, and the arrangement of things is not leaky, I heard that the second prince has been looking for someone to investigate, and he has not even found any clues." Su Zhan said casually.
Su Yunlai's hand moved slightly, and she almost fell into the wrong chess piece, but it was only for a moment, and she returned to normal.
"Fifth brother is going to be unlucky now." Su Yunlai said lightly.
The second prince suffered such a big loss, Su Jie is the culprit, and it is because of him that the emperor is sure that the matter is related to him, and now the second prince will definitely not let him go.
Su Zhan nodded approvingly.
Sure enough, the second prince was reprimanded by the emperor, and finally heard that the matter was bad on Su Jie's head, so the emperor thought it was related to him, and after going back, the second prince drove Su Jie home, no matter how Su Jie pleaded, the second prince turned a blind eye, anyway, the companion reading couldn't be done, and even the prince couldn't go back.
Su Jie is like a lost dog now, how much hope the fourth wife had for Su Jie at the beginning, but now that her hopes have failed, she is disappointed.
And Su Yunzhen, who threaded the needle in it, was also hated by Su Jie now, and even the fourth wife had a lot of complaints about her daughter.
"I told you a long time ago, don't meddle in your brother's affairs, it's okay now! Your brother's future is ruined! You roll me back into my room and think about the past! The fourth lady yelled at Su Yunzhen angrily.
The fourth wife has always been a loving mother, and it is the first time she has said such heavy words to Su Yunzhen, Su Yunzhen was disgusted by her mother and brother, Su Yunlai came back well, the plan failed, and the huge blow made her unable to support it, and ran back to the room crying.
Su Jie was driven back, Du Yue's waist board was harder, and he didn't comfort him at all, but sneered at him, Su Jie was angry, but now that he had lost the biggest backer of the second prince, he didn't dare to offend the Du family anymore, so he had to swallow his anger, but the relationship between the couple was originally indifferent, and now it is becoming more and more cold.
