Su Zihe complained again and again.

When there was no Fang Qiuyan in the capital, there were always dark waves, and the Queen Mother only had to suppress the things on the surface, and as for the bureaucratic collusion in the secret, she was powerless. But the regent was fine, he went out to fight for more than half a year, and ran out again within ten days and a half of coming back. It is also thanks to his diligence that the backlog of government affairs last time was completed in a hurry, and this time there will be a lot of big and small things piled up waiting for him to return from the southeast to deal with them.

"The second brother really wrote the words 'don't want to be an emperor' on his face, why can't those old guys see it?" Su Zihe looked at the piled up on the table and shook his head and sighed.

In fact, as early as more than four years ago, Qiu Yan had the opportunity to rebel and seize the throne, but he was really not interested in this, at most he helped the royal family "supervise the country". However, with the situation at that time, he was helpless on the cusp of the storm, and finally had to compromise under the oppression of various forces, so he sat on the seat of regent. So after taking the throne, he fought everywhere and did everything himself, which not only consolidated his reputation but also avoided too much intrigue.

Pushing open the door of the study, Su Zihe looked at the first snow in the courtyard, stretched his waist and prepared to go to the kitchen to take a walk around to find something to eat.

"Thousand girls?"

Su Zihe was stunned for a moment, put down the umbrella he wanted to open in his hand, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what Qian Shiyue's purpose was when he came to him at this time.

Today's Qian Shiyue wore a light pink and dark flower dress, and her pink little face under the snow-white cloak was frozen and white. Raising her eyes and seeing the man standing at the door of the study, Qian Shiyue was stunned, and then raised a smile: "Master Su, excuse me." ”

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Su Zihe hurriedly nodded in return, and turned sideways to welcome her into the house, "It's okay, since Miss Qian is here, come in and have a cup of hot tea." ”

Qian Shiyue thanked softly, put away the umbrella and entered the study.

Closing the door, Su Zihe took her umbrella and put it in the bamboo basket at the door, and helped hang the cloak again.

Qian Shiyue looked at Master Su, who was a little in a hurry, and couldn't help but hide her lips and chuckle, "The last time I saw you so flustered, I was still on the street, and after so many years, Lord Su still can't let go of the woman." ”

Su Zihe smiled, exhaled and replied: "Mixing in officialdom all day long, I am about to become an old man, where do I still have the heart to think about girls?" ”

The two sat down, and Su Zihe washed the tea set and boiled the water again.

"Shiyue, why did you come to me this time? Wouldn't it be for the one in the palace too? ”

Qian Shiyue's eyes fell on the piled up of small mountains on the bookcase, and said helplessly: "Recently, the Queen Mother's old illness has relapsed, and the whereabouts of the master are unknown, many people are looking for clues, and even more have found our Qianjia. Say that we are well-informed about doing business, and ask us to help find someone or ask for a doctor. ”

"Whether it is to find the master of the teacher, or to find a doctor with good means to treat the queen mother, as long as you can do one of them, it will be considered a meritorious service, and thousands of families will be able to get more benefits in the future."

Su Zihe nodded when he heard this: "Having said that, this credit is not easy to take." Too many people are staring, and the slightest movement of you at this time will be noticed by someone who cares. ”

"That's why I'm looking for you." Qian Shiyue lowered her eyes, her expression was full of indescribable loneliness, "Zihe, he came to me before leaving." ”

"Oh? And what's going on? Su Zihe paused when he picked up the teacup, slightly surprised, "What did he tell you?" ”

Qian Shiyue sighed, "It's nothing, just a few simple words." It's just that I think there seems to be something strange about his attitude that night. ”

"Zihe, several of us have been playing together since childhood, you and I know the temperament of the second son, he has always been a bright and upright person, and he has never dragged his feelings into the mud."

However, he greeted Miss Wen at the plum banquet, and that look was obviously not pretended, he must really like that girl. However, before leaving, he quietly came to my room and told me that he and Miss Wen were just a cooperative relationship, and the person he really wanted to marry was me. ”

Su Zihe listened to her words, his face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"So, you have doubts in your heart?"

Qian Shiyue frowned, "yes, I don't understand." ”

"As you all know, I've liked him since I was a kid, but coming back this time made me feel a little strange."

"Shiyue, did he give you anything?" Su Zihe suddenly asked.

Qian Shiyue came back to her senses, took out a jade talisman from her waist and handed it to him, "This is what he left, let me do something with this thing." ”

"This is a thing in the palace, and with it you can walk freely in the inner courtyard of the palace." Su Zihe muttered, "What does he mean is to let you take advantage of the time he is away to do something in the palace?" ”

Thinking of the Queen Mother's sudden illness, Su Zihe had a bad premonition in his heart. Looking at Qian Shiyue's eyes, his eyes were as calm as a deep pool, "Shiyue, you don't have to think about it, the person who went to see you that night was definitely not him." ”

Qian Shiyue's eyes widened, and she gasped incredulously, "How is it possible?" His voice is so familiar to me that it's impossible to mistake. ”

"Did you see him in person? Or have you ever had a face-to-face conversation? ”

"Nope." Qian Shiyue thought for a while and said, "He suddenly appeared in my room that night, and I was already asleep at the time, so I couldn't see him, so I talked to him through the bed curtain. But I remember very well that the figure was exactly the same as him in the daytime, and there was no difference in voice or tone, so I dared to determine the identity of the person. ”

A faint fragrance of tea came out of the pot, Su Zihe poured hot tea for the two of them, and said slowly, "A person's body shape and voice can be disguised, and movements and postures can be mastered with a little practice." What's more, you didn't see that person's face, and if you want to disguise, you don't even need a disguise technique, so you can easily deceive your eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Su Zihe suddenly paused, looking at the jade talisman in his hand, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly.

He raised his eyes suddenly, "Shiyue, who else have you shown this jade talisman?" ”

Qian Shiyue also noticed a hint of unusualness when she heard this, and said in a deep voice: "No." If you really want to say, yesterday the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites sent a maidservant to my house to deliver things, I happened to be in a daze with a jade talisman at that time, and I was bumped into by her, and there was no one else. ”

Su Zihe's gaze became deep, "Then have you ever entered the palace since the plum banquet that day?" ”

"Yes, I sent a batch of new patterns of cloth to the Queen Mother, listened to music and drank tea in the palace, and stayed for a while before returning." Qian Shiyue is such a smart woman, when she said this, she already understood, and her hands shook in shock, and the tea in the cup splashed on her hands but she didn't feel hot.

"Zihe, am I being calculated?"

As soon as she finished sending something to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother fell ill, and she still had a jade talisman in her hand that should not appear outside the palace. In this noisy situation, how should she explain the origin of this jade talisman?

"The affairs of the Queen Mother and Master Shi have nothing to do with me, I don't know anything!" Qian Shiyue was a little anxious, and her beautiful eyes were slightly red.

Su Zihe raised his hand to signal her not to be impulsive, "I understand, of course these two things have nothing to do with you. But what matters now is how you prove your innocence. ”

Do you want to tell people that the regent ran to her boudoir in the middle of the night and stuffed the jade talisman into her when no one was around? Even her personal maid didn't see a human figure, how could anyone believe this?

What's more, the plum banquet has just ended, and the deep affection between Prince Fang and the princess is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, and they broke into the boudoir of another family's daughter late at night with their beloved fiancée behind their backs, which is what the regent can do?

It doesn't make sense to be reasonable, and Qian Shiyue can't argue at all.

"I didn't expect that man to pretend to be him and want to harm me." Qian Shiyue leaned back against the chair, and there was a sad look in her eyes.

Su Zihe put the jade talisman on the table, and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Shiyue, if you believe me, stay here for a few days, and with my guarantee, those people won't dare to touch you."

"As for the industry of Qianjia, it is best to stop for the time being, so that everyone can avoid the limelight. Fortunately, your father has already left the capital and gone south, so he must not be so easily affected. ”

Qian Shiyue smiled bitterly: "You can take me in for a while, but you can't take me in for a lifetime." Besides, there are many industries in thousands of families, and if you stop for one day, you will lose a lot of money, and if you stop for a few more days, I will lose a lot. ”

"Still thinking about your property at this time?" Su Zihe couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long." If something happens to you, the Ping Wangfu will not care, and the Hubu Shangshu and your old man have been friends for many years, so naturally they will not stand idly by. Don't say anything else, with these two families alone, you have nothing to worry about, just sit back and wait for the truth to come out. ”

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that Su Zihe's words were not out of date, and most of them were comforting. Qianjia is the richest businessman, holds a number of royal exclusive channels, and has a lot of friendship with many high-ranking officials. Secretly, that person even dared to design a frame for such a family, but it is conceivable that he is not much afraid of Ping Wangfu and Mi Siyuan.

Bang bang bang.

The heavy knock on the door made the hearts of the two people sitting opposite each other inexplicably shocked, and Su Zihe went to Qian Shiyue to look at each other, and the hand placed under the table rested on the saber.

"Come in."

pushed the door in, but the person who came was the housekeeper of the Su Mansion.

"Young master, Mr. Zhang brought a lot of people to surround our mansion, saying that he wanted to see Miss Qian."

The corners of Qian Shiyue's lips twitched slightly: "It's so fast." ”

She immediately stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Su Zihe.

"Why are you going?"

Qian Shiyue shook her head and said, "This matter is my carelessness, and I can't affect you." Now that the second son is not here, if you are also involved in this incident, we are afraid that we will be really sad. ”

"Nope."

Su Zihe held a saber in his left hand, walked out from behind the bookcase, looked at her, and waved for the housekeeper to go out and gather the good hands in the house.

"Even if you are Miss Qian, you are a girl in the end, those old guys have no way to move you, if you really go with them today, I am afraid you will suffer a lot."

Qian Shiyue smiled bitterly: "Listen to this, you want to protect me now?" Won't it be sooner. ”

"Not early. They waited until you got in here to arrest someone, and they wanted to drag me into the water with them. The corners of Su Zihe's mouth hooked, revealing a sneer, "It's just that it is still unknown which side of the water is deeper." ”
