Chapter 52: Her Heart
On this day, Mama Xu arrived at Tingyuxuan early in the morning, saying that Mrs. Su had something to call Su Yun to come over, and Mama Xu's attitude was quite flattering.
Chen responded, "When I change Ah Wan's clothes, I will go to see my mother." ”
Mama Xu smiled and nodded, "That slave is waiting for Miss Seven outside." ”
As soon as Mama Xu left, Chen looked at Su Yunlai and said worriedly, "I don't know what your grandmother is talking about." ”
Su Yunlai didn't have a clue after thinking about it, she only said: "Don't worry, mother, you will know if you go left and right." ”
Su Yunlai changed his clothes and went to Lingyun Courtyard, Old Lady Su beckoned to Su Yunlai, pulled her to her side, and her eyes were red: "Good boy, your grandmother already knows about your affairs, it was your second sister who was confused for a while, so she made such a big mistake, and grandmother has already scolded her fiercely!" You have always been sensible, and she is also your sister, so don't resent her. ”
Old Mrs. Su held Su Yunlai's hand, Su Yunlai felt a layer of goosebumps on her body, she resisted the desire to withdraw her hand, lowered her head, and whispered: "The granddaughter has no resentment against the second sister." ”
"Alas, she is sorry for you for this matter, and grandmother will definitely compensate you well in the future," Mrs. Su promised: "But Ah Wan, after all, you are all girls of the Su family, one is prosperous, one is lost, grandmother, or that sentence, before doing things, you must consider the influence of the family, only if the Su family is good, you women who have the blessing of the family can live well, even if you get married in the future, the rise and fall of your mother's family will also affect your status in your husband's family." ”
Su Yunlai nodded: "Granddaughter understands." ”
Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly: "I don't know how many people outside here envy our family, saying that our ancestors have green smoke, and the three sons of a family are all favored by the princes, and follow the prince, no matter which His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne in the future, the future of our Su family is not bad." After a pause, she said again: "You are still young, you may not understand, the second prince is the queen's concubine, and the roots are red, originally your fifth brother followed the second prince, and our Su family will be guaranteed in the future, but now, your fifth brother has annoyed the second prince and was rejected by him, which is a great loss for our Su family, Ah Wan, do you understand?" ”
Su Yunlai didn't answer her, but raised his head and looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
Mrs. Su frowned slightly, but she didn't suspect her of acting, but Su Yunlai only had a limited vision, and there was no way to figure out what was so powerful.
Old Mrs. Su slowed down her tone and continued: "What Grandmother said may be too profound, as long as you know that your fifth brother follows the second prince, it is very important for our Su family's honor and disgrace in the future, and now that he is disgusted by the second prince, we have to think of a son to let him regain the trust of the second prince." ”
Su Yunlai didn't speak, and Mrs. Su continued: "I know that you are good friends with Princess Wuyang, and the emperor is very fond of Princess Wuyang, Ah Wan, you go and plead with Princess Wuyang, let her say a few kind words in front of the second prince, and let your fifth brother return to the second prince, your fifth brother has always been generous to your brothers and sisters on weekdays, he has a chance, and he will not forget your good in the future." After a pause, she said: "What's more, your brother is powerful, and no one in your husband's family will dare to bully you. ”
Even if Su Yunlai was smart, she didn't expect that Old Lady Su would come to her for this purpose! Now she understood that what she had said before that she had scolded Su Yunzhen was just to appease her and wanted her to ask Princess Wuyang for help.
However, Mrs. Su is not whimsical, according to the method she thought, let her go to Princess Wuyang for help, the second prince looks at Princess Wuyang's face, maybe he will really help, even if the second prince has a problem with Su Jie now, but as long as Su Jie can return to his side, the days are long, and with Mrs. Su to help plan, maybe it will make the second prince change his opinion of Su Jie.
So even if Su Jie and Su Yunzhen hurt Su Yunlai, Mrs. Su still wanted to ask her for help!
Su Yunlai felt a little funny, whether Su Jie would protect her in the future if he had a chance, she didn't know, she only knew that now that Su Jie hadn't gained power, he was already going to start assassinating her!
Su Yunlai pursed his lips, his eyes gloomy and he didn't speak.
Mrs. Su thought that she had resentment in her heart, and she was reluctant, so she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and she said earnestly: "Ah Wan, you should be generous as a woman, and you have been rescued, and you are finally safe and sound, your fifth brother is also very remorseful, but he is also for this family, I have already scolded him, you are all descendants of the Su family, and you always have to work together for the prosperity of the family." ”
If she didn't help, she became a small-bellied chicken intestine? Su Yunlai secretly felt funny in his heart.
"What my grandmother said is very true, but although my granddaughter doesn't know the relationship, I have also heard the third brother say that now the relationship between the second prince and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is not very harmonious, and Princess Wuyang is afraid that she will not help with this." Su Yunlai thought about it and said cryptically.
The second prince and Li Sheng are naturally hostile, so Princess Wuyang is Li Sheng's sister in the end, how can she help her brother's enemy?
Old Mrs. Su was a little displeased, she only thought that Su Yunlai was unwilling to help: "Your fifth brother will not do anything that endangers His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, not to mention that you are the life-saving benefactor of Princess Wuyang, you haven't tried, how can you know that Princess Wuyang is unwilling to help?" ”
Su Yunlai was speechless for a while, but Mama Xu on the side had already brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it on the small table on the side.
"Good boy, even if there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, you see that your fifth brother is depressed all day long, you are his sister, how can you be ruthless? You just write a letter to Princess Wuyang, and your fifth brother will read you well. Old Lady Su said lightly.
Su Yun looked at the paper and pen on the table, and her heart was cold, this is why she can't write it.
Under the persuasion of Mrs. Su's soft voice, Su Yunlai had no choice but to write a letter to Princess Wuyang, and after she finished writing, Mrs. Su also read it herself, and finally handed it to Mama Xu with great satisfaction, and asked her to seal it and send it to Princess Wuyang.
Old Mrs. Su touched Su Yunlai's head, and said with a look of relief: "Ah Wan is really a good child, don't worry, grandmother will not treat you badly." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Su Yunlai saluted and replied in a low voice.
When Mrs. Su got the letter, she didn't say anything more, let her go, and gave her a box of jewelry before leaving.
Su Yunlai didn't care much about this matter, anyway, even if Princess Wuyang got the letter, she would definitely not help, but Su Zhan was furious when she heard about it and complained.
"How could grandmother be so confused? Originally, Su Jie and Su Yunzhen teamed up with outsiders to calculate you, you were wronged, and she actually wanted you to help?! How can there be such a good thing in the world! Su Zhan asked with a displeased expression.
Su Yunlai didn't care much: "For grandmother, as long as it's good for the Su family, what if I'm wronged." ”
Su Zhan looked like he was shocked: "Could it be that for grandmother, right and wrong don't matter, is it so important to make the Su family's glorious lintel?" ”
Su Yunlai didn't speak, at this time, she had to let Su Zhan slowly experience it herself, if she could let him see the true face of Mrs. Su clearly, she didn't mind being used by Mrs. Su.
Princess Wuyang quickly sent a reply letter to Su Yunlai, but Su Yunlai didn't even look at it, so he directly sent it to Lingyun Courtyard.
Sure enough, Princess Wuyang fiercely refuted Su Yunlai's proposal, and bluntly said that if she made such an unreasonable request again, the relationship between the two would be over.
This is in line with Princess Wuyang's straightforward style, Mrs. Su saw that although she was disappointed, she was helpless, she couldn't let Su Yunlai be disgusted by Princess Wuyang after Su Jie lost the trust of the second prince, then the price was too great.
However, because of this incident, Mrs. Su was also dissatisfied with Su Yunlai, and she became cold to her, which made Su Yunlai feel a little quiet.
Su Yunlai didn't have the heart to think about Su Jie and the others, because her attention was all on another matter, Gu Junyan was leaving Beijing.
It was Su Zhan who told Su Yunlai the news, when Su Yunlai was arranging flowers, and when he heard that he had cut off a moon flower.
"The young general will be out of the city tomorrow, this time you have an accident, the young general has made a lot of efforts after being busy, so it is reasonable that you will also send him off." Su Zhan looked at Su Yun and said.
Su Yunlai was a little strange about Su Zhan's attitude, she remembered that Su Zhan had asked her to keep a distance from Gu Junyan before, and she had said a lot of truths, why did she change her mind now and let her send him?
However, Su Yunlai really wanted to send Gu Junyan off.
On the second day, Su Yunlai went out under the pretext of incense, went out of the city, and waited for him at the post station next to the official road outside the city.
After waiting for about half an hour, I heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping from the official road.
Su Yunlai stood up, looked up, and saw a black horse, galloping like lightning, he was on horseback, his figure was straight and straight, from a distance to the front.
Unknown flowers fall and fall on her hair, looking gentle and picturesque.
"Phew!" Gu Junyan stopped the horse's hooves, his eyes fell on Su Yunlai's face, and his eyes shone brightly.
Jun Yao, who was behind Su Yunlai, saw Gu Junyan's eyes, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, this look was too bold! He took a step forward without a trace, blocking Gu Junyan's sight.
Gu Junyan: "......"
Su Yunlai couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.
Gu Junyan turned over and dismounted, those deep and calm eyes swept across Jun Yao's face, Jun Yao stiffened, and turned her head pitifully to look at Su Yunlai: "Miss! ”
Su Yunlai glared at Gu Junyan: "What are you doing to scare her?" ”
"It's better to change such an eyeless maid, what do you like, I'll have someone send it to you when I go back." Gu Junyan said lightly.
Bad apple! Excessively! I actually want to try to get her to leave Miss! It's simply intolerable! But the big girl was afraid of the young general's momentum, and only dared to glare at him angrily behind his back.
Su Yun glanced at Jun Yao, and Jun Yao reluctantly retreated.
When the two of them faced each other, Su Yunlai suddenly felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Gu Junyan didn't step forward, the two kept a proper distance, but his deep eyes kept falling on her face: "I didn't expect you to come to see me off." ”
Su Yunlai bit his lip and said in a low voice: "The young general saved me, and I haven't thanked the young general yet, so I'm here to see you off." ”
"Do you know what I want?" Gu Junyan asked rhetorically.
Su Yunlai raised her head slightly stunned, seeing his handsome and sparse face, handsome and incredible, but her heartbeat was quietly chaotic.
"I'm afraid that the gratitude that the major general can see is too valuable, and I'm afraid I can't afford it." Su Yunlai said softly.
"Then if I say, you must be able to afford it, are you willing to give?"
His eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, as if to suck her in, and she tried to avoid his gaze, but could not move a single bit, only stared at him in a daze.
Gu Junyan took a step forward and gently held her hand, his calloused fingers gently brushed the red marks on the back of her hand, and said softly, "Wait for me to come back." ”
In the end, he relented, and when he was looked at by her, he let go of the bottom line in his heart, and only wanted to get a promise that she was willing to wait for him to come back.
Su Yun looked at his dark eyes and nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
After she finished speaking, a flash of remorse flashed on her face, as if she regretted her easy compromise, but she did not have the slightest reluctance in her heart.
She sighed slightly, when Princess Wuyang told her about Li Sheng's intentions, she was ten thousand resistors in her heart, although she couldn't bear it, she still couldn't accept it calmly, she just wanted to refuse.
And in the face of him...... Although she hesitated, she did not have the slightest reluctance, which already explained her intentions, right?
Su Yunlai sighed slightly, but slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
Gu Junyan was a keen person, and he quickly noticed the change in her attitude, and infinite joy suddenly appeared in his heart, as if he had never been so happy.
He became famous at a young age, fought on the battlefield, and won honors that others could not match, but he never rejoiced so much, as if he had finally found the most important thing, and he never wanted anything more in his life.
"Ah Wan." He called softly, his always domineering dark eyes filled with dazzling light, "I will be back soon, and when the time comes, I will go to your house to propose." ”
He stepped forward and gently took her into his arms, a careful hug, with a feeling he had never wanted to cherish, as if she were a treasure in the palm of his hand.
Even though she knew that what he did was out of place, she was the most well-behaved lady, but leaning on his arms, she didn't feel resistant at all, and she suddenly thought of their first meeting, and they had been so close.
Maybe some things are predestined from the first time we met.
Su Yunlai's face felt crimson, and he hummed softly.
The time of farewell is too short, for a couple of men and women who have just decided on their hearts.
"Ah Wan, I'm leaving." Gu Junyan lowered her head, her forehead against hers, and looked at her with a somewhat misty gaze.
Although he said this, he did not move, his hands were wrapped around her waist, and he had no idea of leaving, he just wanted to hold her like this, and it would be good for a long time to go.
Su Yunlai blinked, her long eyelashes flashed, and she was a little annoyed: "Then you don't let go quickly." ”
"I don't want to let ......," he said vaguely.
It is estimated that Major General Gu himself did not expect that the young general, who has always been neat and tidy, would one day indulge in the love of his children, and he could not extricate himself and was willing.
In the end, Gu Junyan let go of her, took the reins, turned over on the horse, and said goodbye to her: "I'm leaving." ”
Su Yunlai smiled and watched him leave, she knew that he was a hero who stood up to the sky, and he was going to do something earth-shattering, she would not stop his footsteps, but sent him away with a smile and waited for his return.
Su Yunlai sat in the carriage, leaning lightly against the window, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, she had seen it in a book before, she didn't know what to do, she was always in love at that time, she always wondered, what is the word love, and now she seems to be a little ignorant and understand.
The carriage suddenly stopped outside the city gate, and the mother-in-law who was guarding outside the carriage replied in a low voice: "Miss, it seems to be the carriage of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”
Su Yunlai lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Li Sheng's carriage parked in the middle of the road, and at this time also lifted the window, the two looked at each other, and her eyes flashed slightly.
Li Sheng's eyes lit up slightly, as if the traveler had finally seen the old knowledge, and his originally light face suddenly became bright.
He seemed to have something to say, and when he wanted to speak, Su Yunlai nodded slightly at him, then lowered the curtain and ordered, "Go back." ”
The carriage staggered into the city, and the curtain blocked his view.
Li Sheng watched the carriage go away and sat quietly for a long time.
"Your Highness, I have already checked, Miss Su seems to have just returned from the post station......" The subordinate guards reported.
Li Sheng's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but his eyes sank into the water, "Got it." ”
……
In Lingyun Courtyard.
Su was in trouble, Mrs. Su was worried about this matter, and her spirit was a little bad, and Mama Xu walked in from outside with a solemn face.
"Old lady, the slave maid just got a piece of news." Mama Xu said mysteriously.
"What news?" Old Lady Su asked with her eyes closed.
"The slave maid heard that the third young master has recently run out of medicine, and although the kitchen still sends medicine, the third young master has never drunk it." Mama Xu said, "The slave maid felt that this matter was fraudulent, so she went to check, the third young master has not let the doctor come into the mansion for a long time to ask for a pulse, saying that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson gave him grace and invited the imperial doctor in the palace to treat him." ”
Old Lady Su opened her eyes suddenly, and a gleam burst out of her eyes: "There is such a thing?!" ”
"It's true!" Mama Xu nodded solemnly: "If you are not completely sure, the slave will not return to the old lady." ”
Old Lady Su's brows frowned deeply, "Now that the second room is becoming more and more powerful, Zhan'er has quite a face in front of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and Ah Wan has the blue eyes of Princess Wuyang." ”
"Not only that, old lady, the slave maid heard what the second lady said, I'm afraid that General Gu Shao has moved his mind to our seventh miss...... General Gu Shao is a master who doesn't care, if he comes to the door to propose, we will definitely not be able to refuse, and the second room will be more and more proud in the future. Mama Xu opened her mouth and said, "Miss Seven went out today, and I heard that she was going to see off Major General Gu." ”
Mrs. Su's face was gloomy, and she was quickly calculating something in her heart, she had lived in the shadow of her wife all her life, and the most unsightly thing was that the people in the second room got ahead, but now, the future of her grandson was ruined, which was something she couldn't bear no matter what!
Old Mrs. Su's eyes flashed with a cold light: "They are all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, no matter how good they are to him, in the end, they are still guarded against and separated by a layer!" ”
"Old lady, you still have to think of a way, the third young master is getting more and more favored in front of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, I heard that he will be left this year, if he gets an official and a half position, it will be difficult to do it at that time."
Old Mrs. Su snorted coldly: "He wants to be beautiful!" The wings are not hard yet, but you want to turn the sky upside down?! ”
Mama Xu hurriedly smiled and said, "Naturally, ginger is old and spicy, how can the old lady's scheming methods be comparable to them?" ”
Mrs. Su didn't speak, but she listened to this compliment, and she whispered something in Mama Xu's ear, Mama Xu was slightly stunned, and then laughed.
"Yes, the slave will arrange it."
……
The weather has entered summer, Gu Junyan has also been gone for two months, and Su Yunlai's days have not been shocking, but they are also a little comfortable.
It's just that sometimes, the unexpected comes unexpectedly.
"Okay, how can Hao'er faint?"
Outside Su Zhan's door, Chen's hand holding the handkerchief kept wiping his tears and screaming in mourning.
Mingyue, the maid who was serving Su Zhan, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and her face was also in a cold sweat: "Back to the second wife, the third young master returned to the mansion today, and after dinner, he drank a bowl of tonic that he was drinking on weekdays, and the third young master sent the slave and maid out, saying that he wanted to read a book, and the slave and maid wanted to add tea to the third young master, but when he entered the study, he saw the third young master fainting." ”
Su Yunlai's face was also a little bad, Su Zhan's body had already recovered, in the past few months, he hadn't even had a cold, how could he faint in a good way? Saying that there was no problem inside, she didn't believe it anyway!
Mrs. Fifth and Mama Xu also rushed over.
The fifth wife said to Chen: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, Zhan'er's body has been getting better recently, and she should be fine." ”
"The doctor is here!"
Chen hurriedly looked over, it was the Imperial Doctor Zheng of the Tai Hospital that Li Sheng found for Su Zhan.
"Imperial Doctor Zheng, please take a look at Zhan'er, you must save him!" Chen said in a choked voice.
Imperial Physician Zheng nodded, and before he had time to say anything, he hurriedly walked into the room to see Su Zhan.
This time, it took a bit of a long time to diagnose the pulse, and it took half an hour for Imperial Physician Zheng to come out of it, and Imperial Physician Zheng's face was even more ugly than Chen's.
"Second wife, please take a step to speak." Imperial Physician Zheng said solemnly.
Chen chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he went to the side room with Imperial Doctor Zheng, Su Yunlai did not avoid it, and followed Chen.
Su Yunlai said to Imperial Physician Zheng: "Imperial Physician Zheng, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, what happened to my third brother?" ”
Imperial Physician Zheng's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand and said, "Miss Su, second wife, don't hide it, Young Master Su has been poisoned!" ”
