A soft voice rang out.

The figure in the big red phoenix robe trembled, and turned around, revealing that familiar and amazing face.

The two looked at each other like this, without saying a word, only a thick tenderness in their eyes.

The two stepped forward, hugged each other tightly, and whispered in their ears.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Su Qi'an picked up Su Fengwu, walked to the side of the bed, and put it down gently, and after a while, the red curtains on both sides of the bed were gently lowered, and there was a lingering tenderness and sweetness in the dormitory...

The chamberlain and the maid outside the palace left very interestingly, giving the two of them time to spend alone.

As time passed, the sky was getting late, and the candles and lanterns in the imperial city were gradually lit.

Inside the city, the sound of slight patrols sounded from time to time, and the night was very quiet, giving people a sense of silence.

Su Qi'an and Su Fengling's bedroom, after a period of lingering, the two lay on the bed and snuggled up to each other.

After being away from Kyoto for so long, the two told each other some little secrets.

Su Qi'an is okay, he told the war that happened in the two northwestern states, as well as the incident with Su Fengwu, completely one by one, Su Fengling looked calm, but holding Su Qi'an's palm tightly, it revealed that her heart was not at peace.

Fortunately, Su Qi'an finally returned safely, if something really happened to the two states in the northwest, Su Fengling was afraid that it would be really difficult to remain calm.

After listening to Su Qi'an's story, Su Fengling also told about the changes in Kyoto in the past six months.

Compared with the rumors and rumors from the outside world, what Su Fengling said has a strong authenticity.

The officials in the court have not changed much in half a year, everything is in order, mainly Su Zhe and Su Tai.

Half a year after Su Qi'an left Kyoto, the ministers of the court and the central government were considered to have completely stood in line, and the current court basically did not have officials who did not stand in line, and even if there were, most of them were cleaned up.

Not only that, but even Su Xuanyong's trust in the two is increasing day by day, from the beginning of the partial handover of power, to now basically half of the military and political affairs have been handed over to the two to deal with each other.

To put it bluntly, the two are now half of the prison country, and in order to prevent the two from fighting, this half of the prison country has also divided two rights from it.

The two of them are in charge of their respective departments, and they can solve it by themselves, and if there is a conflict, they will report it to the top, and Su Xuanyong will make the final decision.

This kind of decentralization has reduced the burden on Su Xuanyong, no longer staring at state affairs all day long, with two highnesses assisting him, many things are not so bothered, and the efficiency has improved.

But there are gains and losses, under this kind of wanton decentralization, the rights of Su Zhe and Su Tai will only get bigger and bigger, if one day, the two join forces, even Su Xuanyong may not be able to control it.

Su Qi'an's worries are not nonsense, after all, Su Xuanyong is already sixty years old, and he is very old, compared with Su Zhe and Su Tai, who are more mature, young, capable, and ambitious, they are likely to be unable to control it.

Su Qi'an's concern, Su Fengling naturally understood, snuggled next to her, and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Xianggong, even if you want to persuade this matter, let's wait for the end of my father's birthday, and find a chance to talk about it, the current father is different from back then, if you brush his face in public and make him unable to get off the stage, even if it is you, I am afraid it will be difficult to end."

This sentence was not only mentioned by Su Fengling, but before entering the city, Su Kang also reminded him,

A reminder from one person may be nothing, but it is the case for two or three people in a row, and it really needs to be taken seriously.

In the final analysis, Su Xuanyong is the Emperor of Da Liang, under one person, above ten thousand people, even if Corporal Lixian values Su Qi'an, but between the two, there is always a monarch and minister.

If he goes too far, Su Qi'an will definitely not be able to come to power, and Su Qi'an knows better than anyone else the truth that the imperial power is like a tiger.

It stands to reason that in the face of danger, the first time to protect oneself, but after experiencing the war in the two northwestern states and seeing those soldiers who fought to the death and did not retreat, Su Qi'an's heart was very complicated.

Some words that could have been easily said to protect themselves now have to think twice.

Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a long time, and Su Fengling, who was snuggled to the side, hurriedly said.

"Xianggong, don't think too much, there are some things, take a step back and open the sky, don't be rash."

Feeling Su Fengling's worry, Su Qi'an held her hand and nodded slightly, "Well, Fengling rest assured, the husband has his own measure." ”

Hearing Su Qi'an say this, Su Fengling's hanging heart relaxed slightly.

One night passed quickly, the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, hadn't slept all night, and had been complaining to each other.

When the day gradually became bright, Su Qi'an tiptoed up carefully, got dressed, and looked at Su Fengling, who was gradually falling asleep, Su Qi'an did not disturb.

He kissed her lightly on the forehead, then paced away in a whisper.

There are still four or five days to go about Su Xuanyong's birthday, and in the past few days, except for the necessary greetings, Su Qi'an has been wandering around the imperial city at other times.

Maybe it's because it's close to the birthday banquet, and the greetings for these days do not include Su Xuanyong.

I wanted to take this opportunity to meet Su Xuanyong, and by the way, it seems that there is no such opportunity.

I don't know if it's really busy or deliberate, and Su Qi'an can't guess about this.

No one bothered, and in the next few days, Su Qi'an met with Su Zhe, Su Tai, Su Kang, and the youngest prince, Su Xian.

Compared with half a year ago, Su Xian has grown up a lot, is more sensible, and still gives people a kind of eccentric intelligence, which makes the group laugh from time to time.

Compared with the ease of meeting Su Xian, Su Zhe and Su Tai give people an uncomfortable feeling.

Although the two of them tried their best to give people a kind and polite feeling, they were both a group of smart people, and how they behaved made little sense.

Fortunately, he didn't get along with a few people for a long time, and after staying for a while, Su Qi'an turned around and left.

After Su Qi'an left, Su Kang also followed, Su Zhe and Su Tai nodded slightly, and watched the two leave.

The two of them paced and continued their walk in the garden.

While walking, Su Tai said directly, "Second brother, do you see, if you want to take care of this guy, I can't do it, and you can't do it, don't you still want to protect him now?" ”

"Maybe, but let's take one step at a time, but if Su Qi'an can be as knowledgeable as the sixth brother, maybe I will try my best to protect him, but unfortunately, after going to the two states in the northwest, his temperament is still so arrogant, so there is no way."

"If it really doesn't work, then do it."

Su Zhe's face was calm, and the words he said were as if they were insignificant, but Su Tai on the side was smiling and said with a smile.

"Hehe, the second brother still knows the general situation, the second brother can rest assured, as long as Su Qi'an can be sensible, I will definitely protect him, but if it has to harm our business, then there is no way."

"After all, it's not just the two of us who want his life this time, and it's actually very cost-effective to sacrifice a Su Qi'an for the sake of our overall situation."

Su Tai talked eloquently, Su Zhe's face was calm, and he listened to it, and the two of them left the garden one after the other.

After bidding farewell to several members of the royal family one after another, Su Qi'an did not return to the dormitory, got into a special carriage, and headed towards the Hanlin Courtyard.

This time when he went to Hanlin Academy, Su Qi'an did not sneak around, but was above board, even if he was seen, no one would be suspicious and say anything.

Everyone knows that in addition to Su Qi'an's identity as a concubine, he also has a very important identity, that is, the personal disciple of the master of the Hanlin Academy.

Back in Kyoto, as a disciple of the family, how can there be a reason not to see the master, and it is normal to drive to the Hanlin Academy.

Basically, everyone has this kind of idea, and it is with the help of this idea that Su Qi'an can understand some unknown things openly.

Entered the Hanlin Academy, met with several Confucians, and had a simple greeting, and under the leadership of the Confucians, Su Qi'an went to Wenxuan's Humble House.

In the cold house, in addition to Wen Xuan, behind him, there were three people standing, namely Sun Wen, Liu Meng, and Xu Tangtang.

The last time Su Qi'an left Kyoto, he disbanded the intelligence organization on the periphery of Kyoto, and transferred all the personnel underground, leaving only a few personnel who were in a single line of contact.

At that time, everyone didn't understand this approach, but it wasn't until Su Qi'an left Kyoto less than two months that the situation in Kyoto changed abruptly.

Not only the internal officials of the imperial city stood in line, but even the wealthy families and businessmen on the outer ten streets were affected.

Either submit to the two kings, or disappear in the darkness, very strong, leaving no room at all.

Now it seems that Su Qi'an's decision at that time was still prescient, allowing them to escape the catastrophe.

In the past six months in Kyoto City, the three of them have seen real changes, which are quite cruel.

Some of the shops I saw yesterday may have either continued to operate or disappeared quietly in less than a few days.

It's not a simple closing, but even people and shops disappear directly, this kind of bloody cruelty, even people like Sun Wen don't sigh.

The characters at the bottom, as long as the above sentence is one sentence, either ascend to the sky in one step or disappear in place, just like chess pieces, they have value to keep, and they have no value to discard at will.

Compared with the disappeared businessmen and wealthy families, Sun Wen is at least alive and preserved.

Moreover, after going underground, some intelligence searches were more convenient than before, especially with the covert support of Wenxuan, ostensibly because of the loss of information on the periphery of Kyoto.

In fact, the peripheral intelligence basically can't escape the hands of Sun Wen and Liu Meng.

It is not an exaggeration to say that after going underground, the intelligence system established by Sun Wen and Liu Meng is even more powerful than before, and even at some moments, they can get some information in the imperial city, which is unbelievable before.

This time, Su Qi'an returned safely, and the three of them were very excited, but they also knew that now was not the time to catch up, so they handed over the information sorted out to Su Qi'an as soon as possible.

Su Qi'an's eyes swept and nodded from time to time, most of the above were similar to what he knew now, but at the end, there was a piece of information that made Su Qi'an frown slightly, and there was only one sentence on it.

"When the Baishou Hou returns to Beijing, there will be great changes in the imperial city, please tell the Hou Ye, be careful."
