Su Rong came to Beijing to cooperate with Yan Echo and help him break the situation, but now this direction is going along the way she wants, so she is very satisfied.

Su Xing looked at her, "In this way, wouldn't it speed up the process?" ”

"yes, just around the corner."

Su Xing sighed, "Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it won't take half a year, won't you have to go to Nanchu?" ”

Su Rong understood, this was reluctant to her, she smiled, "Big brother, I didn't run away from the sky, although Nanchu is far away from Daliang, it is nothing more than a month or two away, and it's not that I can't see it in this life." ”

Su Xing glared at her, "Although that's the case, it's not easy to see in the end." ”

Su Rong also understood this reason, and hurriedly poured him a cup of jujube tea, "I can't leave for a while, don't be reluctant first, and on the day I leave, you won't be reluctant." ”

Su Xing was helpless, took the jujube tea, and stopped talking about this topic.

Su Rong asked Su Xingze, "How is Zhou Gu's injury doing?" ”

Su Xing turned his head to look at her, "It's almost raised, in a few days, you should be able to go out." ”

Su Rong nodded.

Su Xing saw that she only asked this sentence, so he didn't ask anymore, and said to her: "After you left Beijing last night, Zhou Gu sent Midnight to ask for the token of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, sealed the city gate, and instructed Midnight that unless Your Majesty's token, anyone who goes out of the city will be stopped." ”

Su Rong paused and looked at him, "I heard about this." King Ryan left Beijing to ask for the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It turned out to be Zhou Gu? ”

"Well, he was afraid that you would leave Beijing late at night, there was something important, and it would be unfavorable for you to be followed by someone in Beijing, so he simply stopped him." Su Xing felt that it was necessary to tell Su Rong about this.

Su Rong nodded.

Su Xing asked again: "Your Majesty stayed in your palace for a long time to talk, what did you say to you?" ”

Su Rong briefly said the emperor's words.

Su Xing frowned, "What does Your Majesty mean?" Don't approve of your engagement with Ye Guixue? ”

"It's not necessarily disagree, he's testing me." Su Rong said: "What kind of simple person can a person who can sit on that chair?" Otherwise, why is the first emperor also a prince of many princes, but he is the only one who sits in that position? Otherwise, the prince would not have been suppressed for so many years, and he would not dare to break the situation easily, and the Protector Mansion would not be able to stand out in a low-key manner. ”

She laughed, "This majesty of Daliang, in my opinion, is really thoughtful, good at using strength, and the emperor's technique is used perfectly, and he will also take advantage of the situation and judge the situation." ”

Su Xing looked at him, "What do you say?" ”

He hadn't seen the emperor yet.

Su Rong said: "The current situation is that the adult princes, except for the prince, are all involved in the big case, the treasury is empty, and Guixue has brought the order of the king of Southern Chu, and he wants Daliang to recognize me first, and then my life experience will be made public, and he will go to Southern Chu in a dignified manner, in this way, the emperor will face tremendous pressure, even if he wants to clamp down on the prince again, he can only give up, and he can only let it do if the Protectorate Mansion becomes stronger, and obviously my heart is towards the East Palace, the Su family and the East Palace have long been tied together." Therefore, even if he doesn't want to, he can only adapt to the current situation, delegate power to the prince, and even give me a token of Ruyi's presence. ”

Su Xing bowed his head.

Su Rong said again: "He probably thinks that with my mother's blood, it is not enough to tie me to the boat of the girder, so he wants to add the weight of Zhou Gu." After all, the current Southern Chu vassal state has not looked at Daliang for many years. It would be best if you could control Southern Chu through Zhou Gu and let Southern Chu return to become a real vassal state when Taizu established the dynasty. ”

Su Xing's expression moved, "Your Majesty wants Zhou Gu to be your royal husband?" ”

"That's what it means, probably to test my thoughts." Su Rong said: "I decisively refused." ”

Su Xing wanted to say, what if Zhou Gu really wanted to be your royal husband? But thinking that she and Ye Guixue are getting along really well now, late last night she pulled Ye Guixue out of Beijing, Ye Guixue didn't say a word and tossed with him night after day, no matter what the future holds, now he shouldn't stand in the perspective of Zhou Gu to mess with her plans and ideas.

So, Su Xing put down the teacup, stood up, and stopped, "You're tired too, hurry up and rest!" After all, the next step is to really fight a tough battle. ”

Su Rong nodded, "Okay." ”

Su Xing left with an umbrella, Su Rong sat in front of the stove and did not move, looking at the extremely hot fire, staring at it for a long time before putting down the teacup and getting up and going back to the house.

Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the Beijing Yamen are really having a hard time these days, obviously they are the places where prisoners are held and interrogated, but they have become decorations, whether it is the Protector's Mansion or the Ruian Palace, because of the case that the earlier people died in prison, so that they don't believe that they can take a good look at people, and even His Majesty does not put the people waiting for trial in the prison, but directly detains them in the palace, which makes them really panicked these days.

They don't know when the sword above their heads will fall, and these days they will scrutinize the people under their control, and then wait for the emperor's knife to fall.

Sure enough, on this day, King Ruian took the emperor's order and escorted the monks of the Big Buddha Temple to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and conveyed the emperor's instructions.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly tensed his nerves, and bowed his hand to King Ruian, "Don't worry, the prince is sure to be optimistic about the criminal." ”

King Ruian said politely: "Lao Shangshu promised this king that it will not work, it depends on whether there is any negligence in the criminal department under your control, if something happens and affects the investigation of this king, this king will not intercede with you in front of His Majesty." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said again and again: "This is nature. ”

King Ryan left the Ministry of Punishment and returned to the Ryan Palace.

When Xie Lin heard that King Ruian had returned to his house, he immediately went to him, "Father, how is the case investigated?" ”

General Ryan said briefly, and then sighed, "This case will not be closed for a while, and we will continue to investigate." ”

Xie Lin's eyes widened, "There is actually gold hidden in the eagle's beak cliff on the mountain behind the Big Buddha Temple?" Now it's all about gold. ”

"It will be transported back to Beijing in the near future."

Xie Lin said: "Father, according to the eldest princess, the reason why she agreed to cooperate with Li Concubine's maiden father and second uncle is because she is given one million taels of silver every year. After all, when I was at Zha Li's mother's house, I didn't find anything valuable at home. Otherwise, where did the silver taels they promised to the eldest princess come from? ”

Ryan nodded, "Possibly." ”

Xie Lin said: "It seems that we still have to start with Concubine Li's mother's house, but unfortunately, her father and second uncle are dead, and Zhao Fei and Zhao Lao'er, who are involved with them, have also been killed. ”

Ryan Wang rubbed his eyebrows, "Let's rest for half a day today, and tomorrow I will go to find Miss Su Qi and discuss with her how to investigate next." ”

Xie Lin sighed, "Father, you are pulling her into the water." ”

King Ryan glared at him, "Naive, you think I pulled her into the water?" Obviously, her heart is longing for the East Palace, and after coming to Beijing, she just wants to deliberately disrupt the situation in Beijing and help the prince break the situation. Haven't you noticed that since she came to Beijing, in a short period of time, the prince is no longer trapped, and now it is already a favorable situation? ”

Xie Lin thought for a moment and scratched his head, "It's true." ”

King Ryan looked at him, "You still have to learn, from Ming'er, you will follow her and study hard." is worthy of being taught by Xie Yuan. Cards are played out of common sense. Only in this way can we break the court situation in which the prince has been trapped for a long time. ”

After he finished speaking, he sighed lightly, "The princess of Nanchu, once you successfully return to Nanchu, with the support of the king of Nanchu and the Ye family, the Nangong family is really not an opponent." ”
