Chapter 25: Hatred in Past and Present Lives
Su Yunlai is a female dependent, so it is not good to stay here for a long time, so after she finished speaking, she left in a hurry with Jun Yao.
In order to avoid ears and eyes, Su Yunlai chose a small path with few people, and as soon as he walked into the garden, he saw a person who looked like a small man pushing the door through the side door next to him and walked in.
It happened that the rockery blocked Su Yunlai's figure, and the little guy didn't see her, Su Yunlai's eyes were on the little guy's feet, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Su Yun glanced at Jun Yao, made a silent gesture, and then quietly followed.
Jun Yao looked nervous and followed closely behind Su Yunlai, but her movements were very careful and she didn't make a sound.
Su Yunlai followed the little guy to a courtyard in the corner of the Chen Mansion, the little guy was very cautious, he buckled the door three times, and then the door opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it.
The two men did not enter the house, but stood in the middle of the courtyard, and the little man was leaning back to the door, whispering something back.
"It's all ready, as long as Gu Junyan leaves to return to Wuzhou, it will be his fourth phase."
"What about the rest of the story? This time, you can't send so many people and let people run away like last time! β
The little guy nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, it's all ready." β
After the little guy finished speaking, he handed the things in his hand to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the thing and sneered: "Isn't he amazing, I want to see how he can pick it up clearly!" β
After the man finished speaking, he lowered his voice and commanded a few words, but Su Yunlai was too far away to hear clearly.
Seeing that the two seemed to have finished speaking, Su Yunlai quietly turned around and left.
Walking back to the garden, Su Yunlai kept his face gloomy, thinking about the conversation just now.
Jun Yao glanced at Su Yunlai, and secretly said in her heart, did she and Miss see something that shouldn't be seen? Avoiding being killed and killed?
She just wants to be a big girl who keeps to herself, why is it so difficult? The little maid's heart was extremely sad, and her expression was distorted.
As soon as Su Yunlai raised his head, he saw that her little maid had a loveless face, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "No matter what you are thinking, it's not true." β
Jun Yao came back to her senses suddenly, showed a smirk, and couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and asked, "Miss, who are those people just now?" β
Su Yunlai's expression shrank, and he didn't speak for a while, just when Jun Yao thought she wouldn't answer, she said lightly: "That person came back from Xuzhou, he was wearing military boots on his feet, General Li Jianzhong was an important step for Chen Ge to intervene in the army, so the soldiers in General Li's army were also better equipped than others, and they were all specially prepared separately." β
Jun Yao blinked when she listened, and then looked at her young lady with a look of adoration, she sighed: "Miss, you are so powerful, you even know this!" β
Su Yunlai's eyes were a little complicated, she would know that it was because she had seen those soldiers wearing such boots and snatching her father.
Su Yunlai's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly.
Suddenly, a somewhat flamboyant female voice came: "Have you been avoiding me?" I went to your house to look for you, but you were always there? What the hell are you up to? β
Su Yunlai came back to his senses and restrained his emotions, Jun Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Yunlai returning to normal, the expression of the young lady just now was so terrifying.
Su Yunlai turned his head and saw a man and a woman in the gazebo next to him.
The girl looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old, pretty, richly dressed, with a hint of reserved pride on her face, and it was she who was talking just now, she was looking up at the man in front of her with her beautiful face.
The man turned his back to Su Yunlai, he couldn't see his appearance, he was dressed in white and had black hair, just a back, and he was already arrogant.
Some people, standing there, will become one with the environment, become a landscape, he exudes a quiet beauty, will make you can't help but stop, calm down and enjoy a moment of peace.
At this time, Su Yunlai hated that girl a little, because her noise ruined this beauty.
The man raised his hand, his hands were slender and good-looking, his finger bones were distinct, and his fingertips were shiny, Su Yunlai wondered, how could anyone even have such good fingers.
Those beautiful hands gently grasped the wrist that was grabbing his sleeve, and then Su Yunlai heard a voice that will never be forgotten.
Su Yunlai will remember this day for a long time later, and every time he thinks of what he says, he feels painful and can't help himself.
"An Ning, you are messing around again, and you have forgotten the difference between men and women." His voice was as melodious as a clear spring, and his tone was full of helpless doting.
Such a nice voice, even if it is complaining, it makes people unable to rush to disgust, even if it is a girl who has always been domineering.
The girl named An Ning pursed her red lips at this time, with the willful squeamishness of her little daughter: "Who made me always unable to find you, even if there is a difference between men and women, Brother Sheng, I will marry you anyway, what does it matter?" β
The girl's delicate voice is innocent, but with a domineering feeling.
"An Ning," the man suddenly straightened up, and said to An Ning seriously: "You are no longer a child, and you can't say such childlike things again, it will damage your reputation." β
"I'm never talking about children, I'm just going to marry you!" An Ning said confidently.
Su Yunlai had never seen such a passionate and bold woman in his two lives, and he couldn't help but admire her courage for a while.
Jun Yao too, she whispered to Su Yun: "Miss, is there anything unspeakable about this girl, it's the first time I've seen a girl's family so eager to ask someone to marry her!" β
Jun Yao also knew that this could not be heard, but she didn't expect An Ning to immediately look back and glare at Jun Yao viciously.
At that moment, the murderous aura emanating from her body did not look like a delicate and willful girl at all.
Jun Yao's face turned white with fright, she was not stupid, this girl's identity was extraordinary at first glance, she was a maid, arguing about the master, it was a big crime, and she was caught, she was not afraid that she would be punished, or she was worried that her own young lady would be affected.
"It seems that Chen Ge Lao is really getting more and more useless, and any kind of person can get in! I want to ask, has this Chen family become a garden, and let people visit at will?! An Ning said with a sneer.
Su Yunlai sighed, and glanced at the little girl who had caused trouble a little helplessly, she stepped forward and bowed: "The county lord is happy and angry, this girl has always been open-mouthed, it is because I am not strict in discipline, but I have offended the county lord, the county lord has a lot, please bypass this girl once." β
Su Yunlai already fully knew the identity of this girl at this time, the daughter of Prince Zhuang, the niece of the current emperor, and the lord of Anning.
Prince Zhuang is the only younger brother of the emperor today, this Prince Zhuang is the same as the fourth master of the Su family, he is also a non-four-six, he has no intention of political affairs, he is only willing to be a free prince, and he has done a basket of things that are not in tune, the emperor has the heart to cultivate him, and he has found an errand for him, and this prince can cry in the imperial study with the emperor's thigh.
The emperor had no choice but to let him go, Prince Zhuang was thin on women, and the Queen Mother gave countless beauties to the palace, none of them gave birth to heirs, and finally Princess Zhuang gave birth to a daughter, who was named the lord of Anning by the emperor.
As the only heir of King Zhuang's mansion, the county lord of Anning is favored by the emperor and the queen mother, so he has developed such a lawless temperament.
And that man, Su Yunlai was slightly astringent in her heart, she also guessed his identity, speaking of which, in the previous life, her cousin Lin Zhengan was questioned, her father committed suicide with guilt, and her mother was forced to die were inseparable from him.
He is His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, Li Sheng.
Speaking of Li Sheng's identity, it is very embarrassing. He is not the eldest grandson of the current emperor, but the eldest grandson of the former emperor, and his father is the former crown prince.
In fact, the current emperor did not inherit the throne as the crown prince, the first emperor had already established the crown prince, and he was the father of the emperor's eldest grandson.
It's just that back then, when the emperor was alive, he encountered the remnants of the previous dynasty plotting to assassinate him, and the first prince was killed by a sword in his body in order to save the emperor.
This made the former emperor who was indifferent to his family heartbroken, and after the death of the prince, the emperor was very sad, but he was old, and the country had to be passed on.
At that time, there were two candidates, one was the current emperor, and the other was the emperor's eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson of the emperor is the son-in-law of the first prince, but he grew up beside the former emperor and was personally cultivated by the former emperor, but the eldest grandson of the emperor is still young and cannot take on the heavy responsibilities of the country, so the first emperor has no choice but to pass the throne to the current emperor.
What is not interesting enough is that when the emperor issued a holy decree, he added a condition that after a hundred years of the emperor, the throne could not be passed to his own prince, but to the emperor's eldest grandson.
The emperor at that time agreed, maybe he was sincere when he agreed, but after he had his own sons, and when his sons were smart and excellent, gradually, he was no longer willing to pass on his throne to other people's sons.
Even if that person is his nephew.
But the will of the emperor is there, even the emperor cannot go against his father's will, otherwise everyone in the world will scold him for treachery.
And the emperor's eldest grandson is not weak and slaughtered, the first emperor probably expected it today, so the first emperor arranged the most powerful backer for the emperor's eldest grandson - Gu Yanshan.
The biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, the former princess is Gu Yanshan's sister-in-law, after the death of the first prince, the princess was overly worried, and died of illness within two years.
Gu Yanshan holds the power of the army, he is the greatest confidence of the emperor's eldest grandson, because of his support, the emperor's eldest grandson can grow up safely.
The emperor's eldest grandson has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has been living in seclusion for so many years, keeping a distance from the ministers of the court and the central government on weekdays, even Gu Yanshan rarely interacts with each other, and acts very low-key, but in recent years, as the emperor's eldest grandson and several princes get older, the relationship between the emperor and the emperor's eldest grandson has become more and more tense.
At this time, An Ning looked at Su Yunlai and sneered: "You have a little bit of eyes, but the lord of this county has never been an adult!" Since you can't discipline the girl well, the lord of this county will discipline and discipline you for you! β
Su Yunlai frowned slightly, it was really, the county lord was unwilling to raise his noble hand, and if she had to pursue it, she really had no choice.
Su Yunlai was a little helpless, she glanced at Li Sheng, who was sitting on the side, not wanting to help at all, and then said meaningfully: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the red face is in trouble, but it is often the man who makes the mistake, but he wants to blame the fault on the woman to escape punishment. β
An Ning was obviously rejected by Li Sheng, she was reluctant to anger her sweetheart, so she sprinkled her anger on Jun Yao, isn't it a disaster?
Li Sheng: "......"
So, because he stood by and watched, was he said to be a disaster?
Li Sheng touched his face, he hadn't found out that he had such potential, and after thinking about it, Li Sheng turned around and looked at Su Yunlai.
The little girl who is not very old, standing there slimly, her eyes are calm and calm, she looks very good, but she has not yet opened, if she is older, she must be an unforgettable beauty at first sight.
Su Yunlai noticed the gaze that fell on her, and she didn't raise her head.
"What a sharp-toothed girl, in my opinion, what kind of maid is there, what kind of master she has!" An Ning said with a sneer.
Li Sheng looked at the county lord of An Ning at this time, and said with a smile: "An Ning, you are here to celebrate the birthday of the Chen family, and you haven't seen Mrs. Chen yet, I'm afraid it's rude." β
The county lord of Anning looked at the warm smile on Li Sheng's face, and his domineering face was slightly red, looking like a lady.
"I listen to your brother Sheng." The county lord of An Ning looked at Li Sheng's warm and handsome face, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The county lord of An Ning turned around and walked out, and when he passed by Su Yunlai's side, he raised his head and glanced at her contemptuously, as if he was looking at something that was not in sight.
Su Yunlai smiled softly, stood aside, and asked her to leave.
As soon as the county lord of An Ning left, Su Yunlai did not move, she looked at Li Sheng, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
Because she thought of her previous life, what happened to her parents was inseparable from Li Sheng.
In the previous life, in the battle for the throne between the prince and Li Sheng, the one who won was the second prince.
Because Lin Zhengan is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, he is destined to be the emperor's person, and in the battle for the throne, he naturally stood on the side of the second prince.
After the second prince ascended the throne, Mrs. Su was worried that because Lin Zhengan was powerful, she would not be able to suppress Su Zhixun, so she used Su Zhixun to frame Lin Zhengan and report to Li Sheng.
After Chen lost her husband, she was tortured to death by Mrs. Su, although Su Yunlai escaped, because she still had residual use value, Mrs. Su threatened her with Su Zhan's safety and wanted to give her to Su Zhimin's boss as a concubine.
Thinking of this, Su Yunlai couldn't help but clench his fists tightly!
How many things did Lin Zhengan do for the second prince, for him, he betrayed the loyalty in his heart, and wholeheartedly supported him to ascend to the throne in order to repay the emperor's kindness, but the second prince beheaded more than 30 members of the Lin family because of the provocation of the traitor!
Su Yunlai bit her lower lip fiercely, she couldn't let the tragedy of her previous life happen again, so she kept Su Zhan away from the second prince, just because she didn't want him to be labeled as the second prince.
What is Retaliation? It is not to let the tragedy of the past not repeat itself, but to let the people who have harmed them lose everything they are proud of.
In the previous life, the second prince got everything and became the final winner, but in this life, he didn't even think about it!
Su Yun came back to his senses and looked at Li Sheng, her eyes made Li Sheng a little strange, but he was alone here with a man and a woman, which was easy to attract gossip and was not very convenient, so Li Sheng stood up and planned to leave.
"Your Highness the eldest grandson, please stay." Su Yunlai said.
Li Sheng glanced at her with some surprise, "Girl, please take care of yourself, today's matter, An Ning will not pursue it again." β
Su Yunlai shook his head: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has misunderstood, what the people want to talk about is not today's matter. After a pause, she raised her head, met Li Sheng's eyes, and said meaningfully: "I heard that the war in Xuzhou is tight, thanks to the young general's efforts to turn the tide, but when he left like this, Wuzhou was leaderless. β
Li Sheng's expression was stunned, and he glanced at Su Yunlai inquiringly, and then said lightly: "I don't know what you're talking about, I have always only asked about political affairs, the girl is a boudoir woman, and these are not for you to ask, I advise the girl, it is better to care less, so as not to affect the family." β
Su Yunlai didn't think his reaction was strange, but said: "Now that the dragons of Wuzhou are leaderless, and the Liao people on the border are eyeing each other, there is a trap for Lord Chen, just waiting for the third young master to drill, it can be said that it is an internal and external trouble, His Royal Highness can still be so calm and relaxed, this concentration, the little woman really admires it very much!" β
"What do you know?" Li Sheng asked with a frown.
If someone else had said such a thing to Li Sheng, he would have walked away a long time ago, but this time he didn't, and even he didn't know why, probably because when they first met, the girl's calm and clear eyes were really easy to make people feel good.
Su Yunlai had a straight face, and told Li Sheng what he had just seen: "The one who connected with the Xuzhou soldiers was the eldest son of Chen Ge Lao, Chen Ge Lao didn't know about this matter, I don't believe it!" The young general became famous as a young man, and General Gu made great achievements, and what can shake the foundation of the Gu family can only be irrefutable charges. β
If the emperor wants to change the prince, the biggest obstacle is actually the Gu family, with the Gu family, the imperial grandson will have the biggest bargaining chip, so once the Gu family's crime is implemented, the emperor will not be able to give the Gu family a chance to breathe, and he must take this opportunity to uproot.
No one cares if Chen Gelao's evidence is true or not, his behavior is acquiesced by the emperor, and even needed by the emperor, so once the Gu family's treason with the enemy is exposed, what awaits the Gu family is a catastrophe.
"Xuzhou is far away, I'm afraid it's difficult to contact the major general for a while, even if you tell me, I can't do anything now." Li Sheng said helplessly.
This is true, because of his sensitive identity, Li Sheng's every move is under the watchful eye of the emperor, and no matter what he does, it is easy to attract attention, so even if he knows, it will not help.
Su Yunlai glanced at Li Sheng meaningfully: "Actually, there is not only one young general at the border pass, isn't there another general?" Isn't a general of a defeated army more likely to collaborate with the enemy than a general who has won a battle? β
Li Sheng was slightly stunned, raised his head and glanced at Su Yunlai: "You mean ......?"
"Since some things can be faked, it is better to make a few more copies, and there will always be people who believe that they are real." Su Yunlai said lightly.
Even if the Chen family laid out a net and planned to frame the Gu family for treason, what if Li Jianzhong also collaborated with the enemy and treason at this time?
Li Sheng immediately thought of the key to it, and he glanced at Su Yunlai deeply: "I don't know if someone has said that Miss Su is very smart, and it is really a pity to be born as a daughter?" β
Su Yunlai's eyes flashed, and she knew that Li Shengbu was not as indisputable as she seemed on the surface, she did not report her family, but he already knew that she was a girl from the Su family.
A touch of pain flashed in Su Yunlai's eyes: "More than once, I have thought about myself why I am not a man, so that I can also protect my family." β
Li Sheng didn't expect Su Yunlai to say this, and looked at her in some surprise, this girl is not very old, but she has vicissitudes and maturity that do not match her age.
He knew that the situation of the Su family was not as simple as it seemed, but it wouldn't force her to this point, right?
Li Sheng didn't have time to think about it, so Su Yunlai said: "Your Highness, I've been out for too long, and it's time to go back, in short, please be more vigilant about this matter." β
After Su Yun finished speaking, he hurriedly saluted and turned to leave.
Jun Yao wanted to cry even more now, she first offended the county lord of Anning, and her life and death were uncertain, and before she could accept this fact, she saw that her young lady and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson seemed to be in the same tradition, and they wanted to start plotting to collaborate with the enemy and commit such a big crime?
Sure enough, the maid is not an easy job to do, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger.
Suddenly, Su Yunlai stopped, and Jun Yao was careless and almost bumped into it.
Jun Yao raised her head in amazement, and met Su Yunlai's smiling eyes, she hurriedly grinned and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Miss? β
"Jun Yao, what should be said and what should not be said, don't you need me to teach you, right? Saying the wrong thing kills you. Su Yunlai said with a smile.
Her young lady smiled very gently and kindly, but Jun Yao shivered and hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic.
Su Yun looked at her nervous appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Su Yunlai took Jun Yao back to the front hall, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard someone shouting outside: "General Gu Shao has arrived!" β
Su Yunlai looked back in amazement.
Gu Junyan is here?
