The carriage galloped forward on the silent and empty street, Su Zhou looked out the window with a solemn expression, although the moonlight was sprinkled, but the distant scenery was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see.

After a long time, Su Zhou took his gaze back from a distance and looked at Su Shi quietly.

"We are seeking a truth."

"Who are we?"

"Zhou Xuan and me."

"What truth is sought?"

Su Zhou asked rhetorically, "Do you really want to hear it?" ”

"If I don't want to hear it, I won't ask."

Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why I don't want to tell you some things is because I hope you can stay away from the incident, because we don't know how much turmoil it will cause after verifying the truth." ”

Su Shi said lightly: "In this case, you shouldn't have involved me in the first place, since you have involved me, whether I know the truth or not, when the storm arises, do you really think I can be alone?" ”

Su Zhou was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Actually, I was against involving you from the beginning. ”

Speaking of this, Su Zhou sighed again: "It's just that we can't think of any other way." And Zhou Xuan told me that in this world, maybe only you can unlock this secret. ”

"Why does she think so?"

Thinking that he and Zhou Xuan had only known each other for a short time, he really couldn't figure out why Zhou Xuan had such great expectations for him.

"Because she's very accurate in seeing people."

Regarding Zhou Xuan, Su Zhou seems to have some concerns, and things about her are always vague. However, Su Shi didn't care, because compared to knowing the answer from the mouths of others, Su Shi preferred to ask the parties directly.

Therefore, Su Shi did not dwell too much on this issue.

"Isn't it time to tell me the truth?"

Su Zhou was still hesitating, because once he said something, Su Shi might never be able to turn back.

After a long time, he said slowly: "You should know that the more you know about some things, the more difficult it is to withdraw, so you must think about whether you must know the truth." ”

Su Shi also hesitated, after all, more things are better than less.

If his eldest brother hadn't been involved, Su Shi would never have been nosy and continued to live his peaceful and comfortable life.

But now that Su Zhou is deeply involved, Su Shi has to think about it seriously.

As the saying goes, every glory is glory and every loss is lost, if something happens to Su Zhou, then the general's mansion will be difficult to get rid of, and his life will naturally have huge changes.

Although he still didn't know what Su Zhou wanted to verify, as long as it was about the royal family, this matter would never be small, and it would become very complicated, and Su Shi was really worried about whether his eldest brother would be able to solve these troubles.

Su Shi asked, "Do you know about your father when you track down this matter?" ”

Su Zhou shook his head: "I didn't tell him, but he should be aware of it." ”

"What is the attitude of the father?"

"I don't support it, I don't oppose it."

Su Nian's attitude made Su Shi a little incomprehensible and uncertain.

Su Shi believed that with Su Nian's experience and wisdom, if this matter was dangerous, he would inevitably warn Su Zhou, since he had no objection, it meant that in his opinion, this matter was not big.

As for why he didn't support it, Su Shi could only speculate that because it was about the royal family, it was not a good thing that some things were too deep.

However, since his father had such an attitude, Su Shi felt that it was okay to listen, so he said, "You say, I listen." ”

But when Su Shi said the first sentence, Su Shi had already begun to regret it.

"We want to know the real cause of the death of the prince of the East Palace."

As soon as he heard this, Su Shi couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, and then kick himself a few times.

Find out the cause of the death of the prince of the East Palace!

Su Shi couldn't figure out why Su Zhou had such a stupid idea and made such a crazy move, did he know how many heads he had?

Su Shi sighed deeply and said, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"I know."

Su Shi suddenly said sharply: "Do you really know? Do you really know how to write dead words? ”

Su Zhou was startled and looked at him incredulously, because Su Shi had never spoken to him so harshly, and he had spoken to Su Shi so harshly before.

However, at this time, Su Shi couldn't take into account Su Zhou's feelings, because he knew that Su Zhou was now walking a tightrope, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss, and not only him, but the entire General's Mansion might be buried for him.

"Second brother, you don't know ......." Su Zhou muttered.

Su Shi interrupted him and said coldly: "I really don't know anything, but I only know one thing, and that is that the affairs of the royal family are not allowed to be interfered with by courtiers, no matter what reason you have." ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi only felt a headache, couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hand, and said weakly: "I don't care whether the cause of the prince's death is suspicious or not, and no matter why you want to investigate the cause of death of the prince of the East Palace, I want to know, if it is verified, what are you going to do?" ”

Su Zhou said awe-inspiringly: "If there is no doubt about the cause of the prince's death, the matter will naturally be stopped, but if the cause of the prince's death is doubtful, it will naturally be reported to heaven and decided by the Son of Heaven." ”

After Su Shi heard this, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he asked, "Do you know what the prince is?" ”

"The foundation of the nation."

"Since you know that the crown prince is the foundation of the country, then who dares to shake the foundation of the country?" Speaking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "If the cause of the prince's death is suspicious, this capital is only afraid that it will be bloody for a long time, how can there be a peaceful life in the past ten years." ”

Su Shi remembered that the prince of the East Palace died of illness ten years ago, although the world was shaken, there was no chaos, and there was no turmoil in the capital.

And Su Shi still vaguely remembered that although the Son of Heaven was sad and angry at that time, he only killed a few eunuchs and maids who served the prince personally, and did not kill innocents indiscriminately.

Therefore, Su Shi did not agree with his eldest brother's suspicion of the cause of the prince's death, after all, in the history that Su Shi was familiar with, there were not many princes who died of illness.

But Su Zhou had a disapproving expression on his face, obviously not listening to his words.

Su Shi had no choice but to lower his voice and said: "Even if the cause of the prince's death is suspicious, have you ever thought that since the other party dares to attack the root of the country, how can you be their opponents?" ”

Su Zhou said coldly: "No matter how powerful these people are, how can they be the opponents of the imperial court, if the cause of the prince's death is suspicious, and the Son of Heaven orders a thorough investigation, these ghosts will have nowhere to hide." ”

Su Shi just said lightly: "It's just that in history, stories of fathers and sons cannibalism don't seem to be uncommon. ”

Su Zhou looked at Su Shi with a shocked expression, he couldn't imagine that Su Shi was so bold, he actually dared to suspect the head of the Son of Heaven, his face was distorted for a while, and his fingers pointed at Su Shi in a daze, because he was too shocked, he couldn't say a word.
