Chapter 40: The Emperor

When Si Yunlan arrived, the room was pitch black, with only a faint glow from the lantern under the porch.

Dew was worried about the outside of the room, but when she saw the eldest young master coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Slave and maid, see the eldest young master."

"Get up, where is your lord?" Slept so early?

Dewdrop's face was embarrassed, "The county lord has already slept." ”

"Sleeping?" Si Yunlan immediately saw that something was wrong with the expression on Lu Zhu's face.

"What the hell is going on?" Si Yunlan said sharply, she had just had dinner at this point in the past, and she went to bed so early today, if she wanted to say that she was not tired, he would not believe it.

Dewdrop's face was embarrassed, and today the county lord found that something was lost, but he didn't make a noise, but looked for it himself, which shows that the thing is very important and cannot be known by others.

So she didn't know if she should tell the eldest young master about this.

Si Yunlan looked at the dew drops, what else didn't he understand, there must be something important going on, "Dew Drops ......"

At this moment, the door of Si Ning's room opened, and Si Yunlan and Lu Zhu looked at each other.

It turned out that Si Ning opened the door when he heard Si Yunlan's voice of forcing Dewdrop, and when he saw the county lord coming out, Dew couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?" Si Ning looked at Si Yunlan impatiently.

Si Yunlan walked over, "You said, what happened this afternoon?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm going to sleep, you can go back quickly." Si Ning pretended to be sleepy and said, "By the way, Dew Drop came in to accompany me." ”

"Yes." Dewdrop trotted over.

Seeing this, Si Yunlan still didn't understand anything, she obviously didn't want to tell herself what happened in the afternoon, just don't say it since she doesn't want to say it.

"Then you have a good rest."

"Uh-huh." Si Ning nodded, and then waved his hand at him, "Okay, okay, you can go back and rest quickly, it's been a busy day, and you're not too tired." ”

Si Yunlan glared at her angrily, "Got it, let's go in quickly." ”

Si Ning entered the room with the dewdrops, and Si Yunlan watched the door close before leaving the courtyard.

……

The next day, Dew waited for Sining to get up.

Si Ning sat in front of the vanity mirror, looking blankly at himself with dark circles under his eyes in the mirror.

"The county lord didn't sleep well last night, or find a doctor to prescribe two tranquilizers." Dew asked as she brushed her hair.

"No need."

What's going on with herself, she knows for herself, she didn't sleep well last night, all because she lost the note.

She had a dream last night, and the note in the dream was picked up by Li Su, and after he read the contents, he put himself in a prison and tied it to a stool with chains.

tortured, forced to question herself, and if she didn't say anything, he scratched her feet with goose feathers......

It was messy, and she slept especially tired that night.

Although she still remembered the note in her heart, she warned herself in her heart that she had lost it anyway, and it was useless to think about it, even if someone picked it up, as long as she didn't take the initiative to admit it, who would know that it was her own.

Si Ning brainwashed herself very successfully, and when she was dining at the same table with Si Yunlan, she didn't want to lose things at all.

Si Yunlan looked at her strangely, and then said with emotion, "Sure enough." ”

Si Ning looked up at him, "What is it?" ”

"Sure enough, women are fickle."

Si Ning pursed his mouth and deliberately said, "You just know." ”

Si Yunlan had already eaten well, and was choked by her like this, so he simply got up directly, "Yes, I won't tell you, let's go." ”

"Wait." Si Ning stopped him, "Are you going to assassinate Shi Mansion?" ”

"yes, what's wrong? You're going. He had already found out that she was avoiding Li Su.

Si Ning didn't want to go, but when she heard him say this, her temper came up, "What do you mean by this, yes, I'm just going." ”

"Then go ahead."

Si Ning: ......

After Si Ning arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, she parted ways with Si Yunlan, and she wanted to go to see the emperor's uncle first.

"The old slave has asked the county lord for peace." Su Yumao said with a smile.

"Father-in-law Su is polite, hurry up." Si Ning helped Su Yumao up, "What is Uncle Huang doing?" ”

"Your Majesty is reading a book, and the old slave will take you in."

"I'm tired." Sining said.

"The county lord can torture the old slave, Your Majesty loves the county lord.

I have already instructed that if the county lord comes, you don't need to report it, you can go in directly. Su Yumao said with a smile.

The door of the room was pushed open, and after Su Yumao sent Si Ning in, he withdrew and instructed the little eunuch guarding the door to fetch some of the county lord's favorite pastries.

"Uncle Huang~"

As soon as Si Ning entered the house, Emperor Jianzhang found out, and he beckoned to her with a smile, "A-Ning, come." ”

"What kind of book is Uncle Huang reading?" Si Ning said and glanced at the book on the desk.

"Gourmet Illustrated Guide"?

Si Ning looked at Uncle Huang with a puzzled expression, "This? ”

Emperor Jianzhang looked at her mixed expression, and laughed heartily, "What's wrong?" I can't read miscellaneous books? ”

"No, I just didn't think that Uncle Huang would read this kind of book, I thought the book you read would be the kind of esoteric, obscure and incomprehensible book." Sining explained.

Emperor Jianzhang took the book on the case and handed it to Si Ning, "You can also take a look, it's quite interesting." ”

"What can that mean? The people in the Imperial Dining Room won't do anything. Si Ning was a little unimpressed.

"That's what the man from the Imperial Dining Room wrote." Emperor Jianzhang looked at Si Ning with a smile and said.

"Huh?" Si Ning obviously didn't expect this answer, "By the way, Uncle Huang, you have come to Yinchuan, when will you go back?" ”

"There is a prince in the capital, those who will die sooner or later, let him do more, and I will be idle."

For the crown prince's imprisonment, Si Ning is not surprised, the emperor's uncle's preferred heir has always been the prince, and the emperor's uncle only has three princes.

The crown prince is the eldest son, the second prince is the son born to Concubine Ming, and the third prince is born to Concubine He, who is only four years old now, and the prince's position is stable, which is known to everyone in the court.

Even in the previous life, there were internal and external troubles, and after Emperor Jianzhang suddenly became a guest, nothing happened to the alternation of imperial power.

"Uncle Huang will squeeze my cousin." Si Ning said with a smile when he heard this.

"What is this called oppression, this is called experience." Emperor Jianzhang retorted, "In two years, when the treasury is more abundant, I will directly pass the throne to Huaiyan and be the emperor in a leisurely manner." ”

Emperor Jianzhang did not attach as much importance to that position as other emperors, and the reason why he ascended the throne was that no one would ascend if he did not ascend, because the first emperor only had Emperor Jianzhang.

Emperor Jianzhang's biggest goal after succeeding to the throne is not to expand the territory and create immortal achievements, his biggest goal is to cultivate a qualified heir, and then abdicate to become a leisurely emperor.

He has been working in this direction all these years.
