Chapter Forty-Nine: The Major General's Anger at the Crown

Su Zhan sneered, "This mind is all on climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but it is well-intentioned!" But where did she get the confidence? So are you sure she'll get her way? ”

Su Yunlai smiled faintly: "If you don't fight, you won't have a chance at all, and if you fight, maybe there is a little possibility, aren't people like this." ”

When Su Zhan heard this, he also fell silent, indeed, they were all fighting, because if they didn't fight, they would lose.

"Recently, it has not been peaceful outside, and the emperor has also noticed it, and has been checking His Royal Highness Changsun." Su Zhan said in a low voice: "Not only that, Chen Ge Lao is also eyeing the young general, and the young general has been out for a few days, and he has found that someone is following him. ”

Su Yunlai was stunned for a moment, she didn't know much about the things outside, the last time she calculated the four princes was very smooth, it was normal for Chen Ge to find out that it was abnormal, but she didn't expect that even the emperor began to wonder if it was his own son.

Su Yunlai thought for a while, and then said: "Your previous plan is effective, our opponent has never been the emperor, the emperor's purpose of wanting to change the prince is already obvious, no matter what His Royal Highness the eldest grandson does, it can't change the emperor's intentions, so in fact, what His Royal Highness the eldest grandson wants to do is to make other princes lose their competitiveness." ”

Su Zhan pondered for a while and understood what Su Yunlai meant, no matter what, Li Sheng's succession was written in the edict of the first emperor, which no one can change, even if the emperor intends to change the prince, then there must be a name, Li Sheng is not at fault, if at this time, the princes are exposed to a scandal again, even if the emperor wants to establish a prince, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world will not agree.

Even if it is the emperor, he has to take care of the people's desires.

So what Li Sheng has to do is to exclude other princes and make them lose the possibility of inheriting the throne, instead of directly facing the emperor.

"It's ridiculous, now the fourth prince still thinks that the second prince is calculating him." Su Zhan said disdainfully, paused, and said: "The people of our family are still so intrigued for the sake of glory and wealth, let alone being born in the royal family?" For that position, you live and die, and you don't die, which is also embarrassing. ”

Su Yunlai did not speak.

May 18 is the day when Su Jie and Du Yue'e got married, on this day, Su Mansion was full of lights, and the guests were full, it is worth mentioning that it seemed that in order to support Du Yue'e, Du Mingshan even invited Chen Hui, the eldest son of Chen Gelao, to personally participate in the wedding banquet and support the Du family.

Su Jie seemed to have some face in front of the second prince, and the second prince not only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but also let a steward attend the wedding banquet, but the second prince's people and Chen Hui appeared in Su Mansion together, which was quite embarrassing.

Su Jie was busy greeting the guests, halfway through the wedding banquet, Gu Junyan actually came, Su Jie saw this living Hell King, his heart was lifted, after all, this was the one who had made a big fuss about the birthday banquet of the old lady Chen Ge.

But today Gu Junyan seems to have just come to attend the birthday banquet, very low-key, Su Zhan specially accompanied him to talk, Gu Junyan drank two more glasses, and then went to the courtyard next to Su Zhan to rest.

The subordinate led Gu Junyan into the side courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw a slim figure standing in front of the desk, he couldn't help but be stunned, and bent the corners of his lips.

Su Yunlai heard the movement and turned his head in astonishment, "Young General? ”

Gu Junyan smiled slightly, it was actually a little handsome and sparse that people couldn't take their eyes off, he saw the book in Su Yunlai's hand, and then suddenly, it turned out that she was reading here.

Thinking that everyone outside was attending the wedding banquet, but she was secretly hiding here to read, Gu Junyan felt a little funny, she always felt that she was a stable character, but sometimes she would do some childish things.

Gu Junyan walked in, he glanced at the little guy beside him coldly and warningly, and the little guy immediately lowered his head and hurriedly retreated, without even looking at Su Yunlai.

"How many times have we met at odds with the courtesy? Are you still worried that spreading the word will ruin your reputation? Gu Junyan asked in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

Su Yunlai moved the corners of his lips, lowered his head and chuckled.

Gu Junyan couldn't help but take a step forward, there were several steps between the two, but Su Yunlai suddenly felt a little nervous, obviously they had been closer to each other.

Since the last time she was in Su Zhan's study, Gu Junyan almost said her mind clearly, and she could no longer pretend to be stupid.

Maybe this is Gu Junyan's purpose, he is a domineering person himself, and if he moves his own mind, he won't allow her not to understand.

"I didn't expect the major general to come to the wedding banquet today." Su Yunlai picked up a topic and broke the silence in the room.

"I'm here because of you." Gu Junyan said in a low voice, "Because you're here." ”

Su Yunlai is just a boudoir woman, in the face of such bold words, she was a little at a loss for a while, she opened her mouth, and finally sighed slightly, and said seriously: "The young general is young and promising, the young hero, the future is limitless, there will be virtuous ladies to match in the future, I ......"

"I don't want any virtuous lady, I just want one...... As long as...... You. Gu Junyan's voice was vague, and she sighed on the tip of her tongue, but she heard it.

Su Yunlai lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip, Gu Junyan took a step forward and gently held her hand, Su Yunlai lowered his head, and saw that on the back of his hand, almost in the same position as hers, there was an identical scar left by the burn.

"Wuyang has been pestering me to ask for jade skin cream, I have always refused to give it to her, you are so smart, guess what?" Gu Junyan asked in a low voice.

Su Yunlai moved her hand and wanted to pull it back, but he held it very tightly, and she looked at his eyes, and her heart never jumped so flusteredly.

"I'm leaving soon." Gu Junyan said in a low voice: "I want to see you again before leaving, but ...... I seem to have done a lot of things that you hate, and I have broken into your room again and again, and I dare not go again, so as soon as I heard that your cousin was going to marry, I hurried here, and I thought that this reason should be okay, I can see you. ”

Maybe it was because of the wine, Gu Junyan at this time seemed a little fragile, which made Su Yunlai feel very strange, the young man who unscrupulously rode into the old mansion of the pavilion, would actually become cautious.

"I asked a lot of people, and they said, a decent lady like you should like a decent gentleman, I grew up so big, I know a lot, but I haven't followed the rules much, I wanted to talk to you well, but I still messed up." Gu Junyan smiled.

Su Yunlai blinked, her heart suddenly felt a little sour, she had never seen Gu Junyan like this, and put away his fanfare, but he was not General Gu Shao anymore.

"Everyone is different, and there's nothing wrong with being flamboyant." Su Yunlai said in a low voice.

Gu Junyan's eyes flashed with brilliance, he squeezed her hand, took a step forward, and asked a little eagerly, "Do you think I'm good?" Is that what I mean? ”

Su Yunlai choked, raised his head to meet his expectant eyes, and suddenly didn't know how to refute, Gu Junyan always had a quality in him, he always attracted everyone's attention, he seemed to be dazzling, and people couldn't help but look up.

Such a person should not show such emotions as depression and loss.

With such a dazzling person as him, can she really be by his side? What he has to do, will she be able to go with him?

She has always been smart, and her mind is a little more exquisite than others, and she thinks more, the gap between their identities, Gu Junyan's marriage can't even make Gu Yanshan's decision, such a person, can she either? How dare she?

She is used to weighing the pros and cons, and has analyzed the gap between the two, not that she didn't think about it, but she didn't dare to think about it at all.

Su Yunlai bit his lip, gently withdrew his hand, and said softly, "The young general is drunk, I won't bother." ”

Su Yun walked out after speaking, her steps hurriedly revealed her state of mind at this time, Gu Junyan did not stop her, looked at her back, and gently hooked the corners of her lips.

Su Yunlai left from the side courtyard in a hurry, and after she left, Su Yunzhen walked out from the corner, looking at her back, a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Su Yunlai returned to the room, thinking of the scene just now, and sighed faintly.

On the second day, Du Yue'e went as a bride to meet the members of the Su Mansion, and Chen and Su Yunlai also went.

Du Yue'e and Su Jie came a little late, but it is normal for newlyweds to snooze a little, and the little couple pleaded guilty, but Du Yue's face was a little ugly, and her face was rubbed with thick rouge, which could not hide her haggardness.

Su Jie's expression is okay, but he is dressed a little weirdly today, the weather is warm, and he is still dressed tightly, his attitude towards Du Yue'e is extremely indifferent, a newlywed couple, without the slightest eye contact, bowed to Mrs. Su indifferently.

According to the number of rites, each room gave the bride a gift to welcome, and Du Yue'e should also give a piece of her own embroidery as a return gift, on the other hand, it is also to show her virtue in her husband's house.

Mrs. Su didn't seem to see his weirdness, and drank Du Yue's tea with a loving face, and the gift was extremely valuable, it was a pair of jasper jade pendants, showing the importance of this granddaughter-in-law.

After saluting, they all returned to their courtyards.

The relationship between Du Yue'e and Su Jie is so weird that even the Chen family can see it.

"Alas, your fifth sister-in-law used means to marry that day, but now looking at your fifth brother's attitude, she doesn't care much about her, what a bother, when will it be a head in the days to come." Chen said with some sighs.

Chen looked at Du Yue'e and Su Jie today, and they were afraid for a while except for sighing, thanks to Su Zhan coming out to oppose the marriage of Ah Wan and Lin Ziang, otherwise if it was facilitated by confusion, Su Yunlai would marry into the Lin family, and the husband would not like it, and I am afraid that this life would be ruined.

The eldest girl Junyao said at this time: "I heard that the fifth young master just went to the new house yesterday to drink a glass of wine and left, but this is still because of the number of etiquette was pressed by the fourth wife, not to mention how ugly the scene at that time was, the fifth young grandmother made a fuss at that time, and said that she wanted to go home, and the trouble lasted until midnight, the fifth young master didn't go back, and the tossed fourth wife didn't sleep all night!" ”

Su Yunlai listened expressionlessly, the current Du Yue'e is just making a fuss, but in the previous life, she was terminally ill with Su Zhan, and even poisoned him! Compared to what Su Zhan endured, what are these now?

"I also heard that the fifth young master is wearing so tightly today, in fact, because the neck was scratched by the fifth young grandmother! The fifth young master also angrily denounced the fifth young grandmother as a shrew! After that, I'm afraid the four rooms will be lively! Jun Yao said gloatingly.

"No wonder the fourth brother and sister look so haggard today, alas, speaking of which, she personally asked for this family business, and I don't know what she feels like in her heart now." Chen said with a sigh.

Mama Lan glanced at the Chen family, who sympathized with the fourth wife, and secretly said in her heart, this is thanks to the intelligence of the young lady, otherwise it would be their wife who is haggard today! It's okay, it's okay.

But no one expected that the relationship between Du Yue'e and Su Jie would be so bad, almost from the beginning of their marriage, the two had endless quarrels, and the fourth wife was circling in it, and she was physically and mentally exhausted.

Su Yunzhen couldn't stand it and came to find Su Yun.

"The fifth sister-in-law and the fifth brother quarreled again, I listened to their quarrels every day, and the fifth sister-in-law and my fifth brother came to my mother to complain after the quarrel, and now I can't even go back to the yard." Su Yunzhen looked at Su Yunlai with a pitiful expression: "I have to come to the seventh sister to hide and be quiet, the seventh sister don't bother me." ”

Su Yunlai shook his head: "Alas, it's not a way for the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law to go on like this. ”

"It's not, so my mother wondered if they had committed something Tai Sui, and was thinking about going to the temple to worship and give them a marriage." Su Yunzhen said.

When Su Yunlai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in surprise, the fourth wife was really desperate, and they all began to rush to the doctor.

"Seventh sister, you go with me, then my mother will talk to the master for a long time, I am very bored alone, with the seventh sister with me, I can also be a companion." Su Yunzhen begged and said.

Su Yunlai didn't want to agree, but she was also a little bored recently, thinking that it would be better to go out for a walk, so she agreed.

However, in just over a month, the fourth wife has aged a lot, with obvious fatigue on her face, and her spirit is still a little trance, Su Yun came to salute her, and she also looked weak.

Where is this still the high-spirited and energetic fourth wife at the beginning? Even the fifth wife didn't take advantage of her at the beginning, which shows the depth of Du Yue'e's combat effectiveness.

The carriage drove towards Fahua Temple, this time Su Yunzhen did not sit with Su Yunlai, "Seventh sister, I will accompany my mother, she has been in a bad mood recently." ”

Su Yunlai nodded, didn't care, and got into the carriage.

When she arrived at Fahua Temple, Su Yunzhen first accompanied the fourth wife to meet the abbot master, Su Yunlai stayed in the courtyard by herself, standing in front of the courtyard, she couldn't help but be in a trance, she still remembered that in winter, Gu Junyan was also standing here, stepping on the wind and snow, dressed in wind and dust, but he couldn't hide the elegance on his body.

Su Yunlai suddenly came back to her senses, she didn't expect her to suddenly think of him, she lowered her head slightly, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was a little astringent.

Last time, Gu Junyan said that he was leaving the capital, could it be that there was something wrong with the border pass? But it shouldn't be, a peace treaty has been signed with Da Liao, what can happen at the border pass?

Su Yunlai thought as she walked, she didn't notice that she had already remembered more and more things related to Gu Junyan.

Su Yunlai raised her head and found that she had inadvertently walked to the apse, she couldn't help but shake her head, and just wanted to go back, she suddenly felt a pain in her head, and she lost consciousness.

Su Yunlai is gone.

When the fourth wife sent the message back to the house, Su Zhan's face suddenly changed, and she grabbed the little guy who came to report the news.

"What do you mean it's gone? Didn't she go to Fahua Temple with the fourth wife? How could it be gone?! Su Zhan asked sharply.

The little guy who passed the word shook his legs, and stumbled and said: "It's in the temple, I can't find Miss Seven everywhere, and the fourth and fourth ladies are still taking people to look for them near the temple, so I ordered the slave to come back, and I will only come back." ”

Su Zhan's face was pale, but he also knew that now was not the time to attack this minion, and it was important to find Su Yunlai, so he immediately said: "Come on, this slave dares to bully the master, first put him in the firewood room, so that he can be taken care of, if the person is lost, I will ask you!" ”

No one had ever seen Su Zhan lose such a big temper, and the subordinates all shrank for a moment, hurriedly walked in and tied up the little guy and pressed him down.

The most important thing now is not to let the news of Su Yunlai's disappearance spread, a girl who has not left the cabinet, if it is known that she is missing, even if she comes back safely, her reputation will almost be ruined, so Su Zhan dealt with the person who came to deliver the message as soon as possible.

Control the person, the news will not be spread for a while, and then he will quietly find Su Yunlai back, and before he knows it, the matter will pass.

Su Zhan left the Su Mansion and hurried to the Changsun Mansion, this matter must rely on the power of His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun, he can't do it alone, now he only asks Li Sheng to see that Su Yun came to save Princess Wuyang, and can help.

When Li Sheng heard that Su Yunlai was gone, his face changed instantly: "It's gone, how can it be gone?" ”

Li Sheng's reaction was really a little too excited, Su Zhan always felt that he seemed to be more excited than him, who was an elder brother, but now was not the time to ask about this, the top priority was to find Su Yunlai.

"Today, Ah Wan and my fourth aunt went to Fahua Temple to worship the Buddha, just now my fourth aunt ordered someone to pass the word back, Ah Wan disappeared in Fahua Temple, she must have had an accident, Ah Wan is not a person who does not know the severity, she will not walk around by herself, someone must have held her hostage!" Su Zhan said with a solemn expression: "I know that this matter is a bit difficult for His Highness, but I really have no choice but to ask His Highness for help." ”

Li Sheng raised his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about this, find Miss Su first," After a pause, he said again: "The most important thing for us now is to suppress the news first, and then go to Fahua Temple, if someone really kidnaps Ah Wan in Fahua Temple, maybe there will be traces." ”

Su Zhan nodded, he also thought so: "I have already sent someone to Fahua Temple first, hoping to find some clues." ”

While the two were talking, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Gu Junyan stood outside the door, his face was like frost: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Sheng saw that Gu Junyan was a little surprised, and he had a feeling of expectation, he was stunned and said, "Junyan, why are you here, aren't you going out of the city today?" ”

"Is it true that Ah Wan is gone?" Gu Junyan asked bluntly.

Su Zhan's face suddenly changed: "Young General, do you also know?" Could it be that the news has already gotten out? ”

Gu Junyan said: "Don't worry, the people who know are all under control, how could Ah Wan disappear?" ”

Su Zhan said it again, and when Gu Junyan heard that Su Yunlai was going out with Su Yunzhen, a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around and walked out.

"Jun Yan, where are you going?" Li Sheng couldn't help but call.

"Hokkeji Temple!"

Gu Junyan came all the way to Fahua Temple, found the abbot, the female guest was lost in his temple, the abbot was also very anxious, Gu Junyan came, and the abbot was very cooperative and sent someone to investigate together.

Gu Junyan sent someone to look for it again in the temple, while Gu Junyan himself went to find Su Yunzhen.

Su Yunlai was lost, and the fourth wife was busy dealing with the follow-up matters, she was worried that Su Yunzhen would also have an accident, so she ordered her to stay in the wing.

Su Yunzhen's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Gu Junyan, but when she thought of his intention, the joy on her face faded cleanly.

"The major general is busy with military affairs, how can he have time to come to incense?" Su Yunzhen asked with a smile.

Gu Junyan's sharp eyes crossed her face, and she said coldly: "Second Miss Su is so determined, Miss Seventh is missing, you can still be so calm, is this the deep sisterhood when Second Miss was there?" ”

Su Yunzhen heard his mockery and took a deep breath: "What does the young general mean by this?" The seventh sister is gone, I am naturally very worried and anxious, but the young general's words seem to be my seventh sister is gone, and it is all my fault! I know that the young general treats my seventh sister extraordinarily, but he can't wronged me like this! ”

"I didn't know that the second lady was still so sharp-tongued!" Gu Junyan said coldly.

Su Yunzhen's heart was stinged by his cynicism, and all this was entered for other women!

A touch of hatred flashed in Su Yunzhen's eyes: "I'm also strange, my seventh sister is gone, why is the young general so anxious?" ”

Gu Junyan stared at her tightly, unconsciously exuding a cold aura, Su Yunzhen was the daughter of the boudoir, and was shocked by his discrimination, and couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"That's not something you should be curious about, and I don't need to explain it to you." Gu Junyan said lightly, and he had already turned around: "I will not give up on this matter, and I will never let go of all the people related to her disappearance!" ”

After Gu Junyan finished speaking, he strode out, in fact, he came to find Su Yunzhen just to say such a sentence, because he knew that even if he asked Su Yunzhen, he would not tell the truth.

When Su Yunzhen heard his words, she was almost so angry that she was going crazy, she was trembling, she took a deep breath, suppressed the monstrous anger and jealousy in her eyes, and then said coldly: "Qin Ying, go and spread the word over there, I want her to die!" I want her to never come back! ”

Qin Ying is Su Yunzhen's personal maid, who has served her since she was a child, and was frightened by the coldness in her words, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Miss." ”
