Chapter Ninety-Eight: Find Another Backer
For a few days in a row, Su Ruoxi and the Thirteen Princes had a tryst in Huamanlou.
The two loved each other to death, and they fought bitterly.
The thirteenth prince hugged Su Ruoxi in his arms, and rested his chin on her head.
He gently lifted Su Ruoxi's face, kissed her on the forehead, and said gently: "I will arrange for you to meet with the fourth brother in two days, if he knows that you are the second lady of the Su family, he will definitely help you take revenge on Su Qingcheng." ”
Su Ruoxi's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Really? But I'm afraid that it will drag down His Highness, Su Qingcheng is now the princess of Yunan, and I am just an ordinary concubine......"
"What is a mere king of the south? My fourth brother is now a celebrity in front of my father, as long as he speaks, he will definitely be able to help you avenge and extinguish Su Chengcheng's arrogance. ”
The Thirteenth Prince continued to comfort: "Besides, you are not an ordinary concubine, you are the future princess of this prince." My father said, as soon as the royal hunt is over, he will give me a title, and then this prince will marry you and enter the door. ”
Su Ruoxi was deeply moved, and she felt his sincerity from the words and actions of the Thirteenth Prince.
And after so many days of getting along, she could feel that the thirteen princes were different from Fu Xingzhou and the imperial grandson.
She has followed Fu Xingzhou for so many years, and Fu Xingzhou just said that he would help her take away the Su family's things and ask him to help him suppress Su Qingcheng, but he didn't pay at all in his actual actions, and in the end, he was put on a role by Su Qingcheng.
The imperial grandson looked like a decent man and a gentleman, and asked to withdraw from the marriage after seeing her tryst with Fu Xingzhou, and the thirteen princes thought that she was a person in the art hall and did not dislike it at all.
Su Ruoxi felt more and more disdain for Fu Xingzhou in her heart, and thought to herself, if the fourth prince was really as good as the thirteenth prince said, it would be better to change a backer herself, and let Fu Xingzhou stay in the dark Nanshan Courtyard for a lifetime.
As everyone knows, the conversation between the two was clearly heard by the people in the other room.
The steward's bustard wrote down the conversation between the two on a piece of paper and sent it to the palace of the king of Yunan.
Su Chengcheng was leisurely eating grapes, looking at the letter sent by the old bustard, the steward of Huamanlou, which clearly wrote all the conversations between the Thirteen Princes and Su Ruoxi in the past few days.
Ye Yutai also sat aside and drank tea, and said, "Isn't the princess's move equivalent to finding a backer for Su Ruoxi again?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Su Chengcheng put down the letter and communicated with Ye Yutai.
"Now that Fu Xingzhou has been locked up in the Nanshan Courtyard, Su Ruoxi is worried that she can't find her next home, is the princess sending her the way to the door?"
Su Tingcheng knew that he was referring to his hands and feet on the Nanshan Courtyard, and let Su Ruoxi move the idea of changing the backer.
She said softly: "That's not the case, according to Fu Xingzhou's temperament, if he knew that Su Ruoxi betrayed him and went to the fourth prince, he wouldn't let Su Ruoxi have a good time." Wouldn't it be nice to let him eat dog eat dog between Su Ruoxi like this? ”
Ye Yutai didn't speak, and raised his eyebrows.
Su Chengcheng continued: "Besides, even if the Thirteenth Prince starts to deal with me, with the temperament of the Fourth Prince, I don't think he will offend me for Su Ruoxi's sake. ”
Su Chengcheng had an inexplicable feeling that people like Fu Xingzhou and the Four Princes would not easily target themselves for the sake of their children's personal affairs.
"By the way, Lord Wang, the royal hunt is coming soon, can Fu Xingzhou come out over there?" Su Qingcheng raised his eyes and asked.
As the two spent more and more time together, Su Chengcheng already knew that Ye Yutai had a lot of eyeliner in the palace.
"Almost, the queen's side has already started to prepare. In the past few days, some people in the court have reported to the saint, asking for Fu Xingzhou to be released, saying that the people in Liucheng, Danzhou and other places are deeply protected by Fu Xingzhou, and now he is locked up, and the people are not happy. ”
Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Is the queen's hand so long?" Can you already interfere with the imperial court? ”
"What's more, the queen has no children under her knees, she can be said to be helping Fu Xingzhou as her own son. There will also be some concubines under the queen in the harem who will blow the wind in their ears, saying that Fu Xingzhou is usually very good, respectful and polite. ”
Su Tingcheng sneered: "It's really a good means, but won't the emperor doubt it?" The son who has not improved on weekdays is now helped him speak by so many people. ”
"This is the genius of the queen, as far as the king knows, these people she has arranged have either been clearly on the side of a certain prince, or have remained neutral since the previous dynasty. As for what she wants to arrange for these people to say, this king is also looking forward to it. ”
"When the emperor sent him to the Nanshan Courtyard, I already thought that he would not be locked up for too long." Su Qingcheng sighed secretly, the game with Fu Xingzhou could not be taken lightly.
"But...... There was something he was mistaken. Ye Yutai said.
"Does the prince mean Su Ruoxi?" Su Chengcheng asked.
Ye Yutai nodded, and said slowly: "The personnel of the royal hunt must go through strict control, and now that each family has reported the list of maid guards, I'm afraid Fu Xingzhou won't be able to go." ”
"What the prince said is right, now that Su Ruoxi has defected, of course he will not let Fu Xingzhou take the position of the thirteenth prince, it seems that I have to think of a way to let Fu Xingzhou go to the royal hunt smoothly......"
———
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The emperor was sitting upright at the table and reviewing the folds, his brows furrowed.
The queen brought a bowl of mung bean soup, stood intimately behind the emperor and pinched his shoulders and beat his back, and said, "Your Majesty, it's hot in summer, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat." ”
"The queen has a heart." The emperor put down the fold in his hand, touched the empress's hand, and sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, why is this trouble?" The queen said tentatively.
"Alas, someone wrote a book to release the Seventh Prince Fu Xingzhou...... Forget it, don't talk about it. ”
Looking at the emperor's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the queen smiled gently, and said softly: "The concubines don't understand these things, the concubines only know that Your Majesty is happy, the people are happy, and the concubines are happy." ”
"It's still your most intimate, now my sons are all ghosts, I wish I could return to the West as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, the emperor became emotional and coughed violently.
The queen immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to the emperor, worried: "Your Majesty should pay more attention to your body." ”
"Don't worry, I can't die, now Si Yan's position is still unstable, how can I bear to leave him alone to face these jackals, tigers and leopards!"
He pointed to these twists and turns as he spoke, in fact, the emperor knew very well in his heart that half of the current court had been almost divided by his sons.
The half of the court under him is still watching, and his attitude is unclear.
"If that's the case, the concubine thinks she can release the Seventh Prince."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?" ”
