Chapter 28: Undercurrents
However, Su Yunting quickly figured it out, and it was estimated that Lixiao didn't know when he put this sign on her.
Another big favor.
Su Yunting was going to die of worry, how could he pay it back.
But at this point, she had to pretend to be a tiger, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to get out of the palace alive.
Thinking of this, Su Yunting said indifferently: "Old acquaintance." ”
The old emperor was a little hesitant and asked, "How do you know him?" ”
"I can know Qin Chuan, why can't I know King Dingbei?"
The old emperor pondered for a moment, and found that this seemed to be the truth, and his tone softened a lot: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time, just a few days later, I want to say goodbye to King Anding, so it's better to ask him to go to Beijing to catch up with the old days by the way." ”
Su Yunting knew that the old emperor didn't just want to catch up with King Dingbei.
Among the many vassal kings, only the king of Dingbei was strong.
He has been stationed in the north for more than ten years, and the north has been very peaceful.
You must know that before the king of Dingbei guarded the northern border, the fierce and powerful northern tribes almost took the entire northern border for themselves.
How does this make the old emperor not jealous?
Su Yunting was carrying the token of the King of Dingbei, and he was by no means a general friend of the King of Dingbei, and the old emperor did not dare to do anything to her easily.
Therefore, the old emperor said that he wanted to invite the king of Dingbei to Beijing, probably to confirm her friendship with the king of Dingbei, so as to determine how much he could move her.
Anyway, this beam is finished.
The old emperor said some more words, and then beckoned his subordinates to send Su Yunting out of the palace.
Looking at her departing back, the smile on the old emperor's face gradually sank.
"You waste, a civilian girl can play with you to applause, you say, what face do you have to compete for the crown prince?"
The old emperor's face was gloomy and terrible.
"Erchen......" Qin Chuan knelt on the ground, speechless.
"You know where my bottom line is, but you left so many witnesses and allowed them to beat gongs and drums on the street to promote the good things you did!"
Erchen sent someone to look for them that night, but they didn't go home, and they were all taken to Su's house by Su Yunting. Erchen let the killer go to Su's house, but the outer courtyard was surrounded by Zhang Qingyang and the army, and it was difficult to break through the defense line, and there were several mysterious killers in the inner courtyard, and the martial arts were extremely high, and all the people of Erchen were ......"
"Rubbish!"
"Yes......" Qin Chuan knelt on the ground like a deflated ball.
After the emperor finished venting, he also calmed down and thought about it: "The master of the inner courtyard is probably the person of the king of Dingbei, otherwise it would be impossible for a small Su family to have such connections." ”
"Father is saying that the Su family and the king of Dingbei ...... Collusion between officials and business? ”
The old emperor smiled slyly: "It doesn't matter if I don't believe that they collude with officials and businessmen, the important thing is that the people believe it." ”
Qin Chuan instantly understood, and swore solemnly: "Father, rest assured, the son knows what to do!" ”
"You remember, to this day, I still don't think favorably of you, but I won't give up on any of my sons. As long as you can prove your worth, don't touch my bottom line, I will treat everyone equally. ”
"The son will not let his father down!"
Out of the palace, Qin Chuan returned to the Eight Princes' Mansion, where there was already someone waiting.
It is the handmaid winter frost of the white crescent.
Seeing Qin Chuan coming back, Dongshuang cried and threw herself into his arms and said, "Eighth Master, you are back, Dongshuang is so worried about you." ”
Qin Chuan frowned and said, "I was scolded, but it's nothing." But why didn't you tell me in advance that Su Yunting was actually the person of the King of Dingbei? ”
Dongshuang looked dazed: "King Dingbei? But the lord has never been to the north in all these years, let alone the young lady. ”
"That's it, I don't know what's the use of asking you two to waste!"
As soon as Dongshuang heard this, tears fell from her eyes.
"Eighth master, you are angry with the two young ladies, but why do you want to sprinkle it on the head of the winter frost? Dongshuang is just a slave who doesn't know what power and tricks, but just loves you wholeheartedly, how can you ...... How can it be ......"
This winter frost has followed Bai Xinyue all the year round, learned her set of skills ten out of ten, and even drew inferences from one another, and improved it according to her own conditions.
Although she is not as stunning as Bai Xinyue, she is better than Nakami, and she does not have a young lady's temper, she is very good at coaxing people, and she is very comfortable serving Qin Chuan.
It was with her that Qin Chuan could temporarily forget those annoying calculations and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
So when Qin Chuan saw the winter frost with rain in the crying pear blossoms, he hurriedly gently hugged her and comforted her softly.
The winter frost was also accepted when it was good, and he stopped crying immediately, and the two kissed me, me, you, and me, and they lingered for a long time, and Qin Chuan felt that the boredom of these days had been swept away, and he was refreshed.
He looked at the shy and timid winter frost on the bed, and finally remembered what he was doing.
"You go back and tell Bai Xinyue how the Su family hooked up with the king of Dingbei, and this king will not pursue it, but this king suspects that the Su family and the officials and businessmen of Dingbei are colluding, and this king hopes that she can come up with some evidence."
Dongshuang understood in seconds, nodded and said, "Eighth Master don't worry, you can make evidence without evidence." ”
Qin Chuan was satisfied: "This king likes your cleverness." ”
Look at the sky again.
After Su Yunting entered the palace, Zhuying came to Lixiao and reported: "Master, the assassins who attacked Su Mansion last night have all been eliminated and the body search has been completed. ”
"Very good, keep all the jade plates, I want to give her a big gift."
Chaying was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, subordinates...... It's time to leave for the North. ”
"Well, go ahead."
"......"
"I have already told my father that if you don't do it, you will be rewarded with twenty sticks."
Shadow: !!
What kind of sin did he suffer to become such a master!
Chasing Feng snickered on the side, chasing the shadow and wanting to cry without tears, glancing at him fiercely with his eyes, saluting Lixiao again, turning around and walking out.
There is a feeling of generosity to death.
Chasing Feng was snickering, when he heard Lixiao muttering, "You say, will she like this king's gift?" ”
Chasing the wind instantly closed his mouth.
He seemed to understand the feeling of almost being asked crazy before chasing the shadow.
"Yes...... Why did the master give her a gift? "Chasing the wind regretted it when he asked, how dare he ask Lixiao?!
But Lixiao just smiled and said, "Because ...... I still seem to like her more than I hate her. ”
Chasing the Wind: ???!!
He heard him right!
Is this still the master who kills people without blinking?
How could he say such sensual words!
But if you think about it carefully, since the master lived in the Su family, his temper seems to have really changed a lot, otherwise he might have been severely punished based on what Chaifeng said just now.
Such a master is obviously better and more humane.
Therefore, the fact that the master likes Miss Su doesn't seem to be bad.
