Generally speaking, visitors should say goodbye when they say this, but after Zhou Xuan said this, he didn't move, just looked at Su Shi silently.

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Is there a problem with the negotiation with Dongyuan Reservoir?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said lightly: "With Gongzi's means, Dongyuan Plasma Library is definitely not Gongzi's opponent, I have clearly informed them of this, and Dongyuan Plasma Library has accepted my suggestion, and I believe that there will be results tomorrow." ”

"In this case, there is Lao Zhou Gongzi, I will send Zhou Gongzi below."

Su Shi's words had already been said very clearly, but Zhou Xuan didn't seem to hear it, not only did he not move, but he didn't even blink his eyes.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Su Shi had no choice but to say: "Is there anything else to do with Gongzi Zhou?" ”

Zhou Xuan finally sighed: "I know you have concerns, but I promise you that you helped me, and I will never involve you." ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "What identity are you using to say this?" The shopkeeper of Hechang Building, the owner of the Flower Pavilion, the owner of the painting boat or the princess of Daqian? ”

Seeing that Su Shi knew through her identity, Zhou Xuan was neither surprised nor surprised, as if it was a normal thing to be recognized by Su Shi.

"And in what capacity do you want me to speak?"

Su Shi sighed: "Actually, no matter what your identity is, I prefer to sit in the same boat with you and talk about some ups and downs." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at him quietly and said, "If Su Gongzi has Yaxing, I should accompany him." ”

"Is this invitation conditional?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "The mirror lake at noon has a unique flavor, I don't know if Su Gongzi is interested?" ”

"Nope." Su Shi flatly refused: "I just want to stay in the house today, and I don't want to go anywhere." ”

"The scenery of Mirror Lake is different every day, and I have time to wait for you."

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't like to travel so much. ”

"I need your help." Zhou Xuan stopped beating around the bush, stared at Su Shi, and said directly.

"I've been to the Red Plum Pavilion, but I still haven't learned anything." Su Shi sighed: "Maybe you found the wrong person." ”

"I'm not going to find the wrong person."

Su Shi was a little strange, because Zhou Xuan seemed to have a blind trust in him.

"Why?"

Zhou Xuan didn't answer him, but said, "Don't you think it's strange, why am I so interested in doing business?" ”

Su Shi nodded.

If he didn't know Zhou Xuan's identity, Su Shi wouldn't be so strange, but after knowing her true identity, Su Shi felt extremely strange.

Throughout history, a princess may be interested in wealth, but absolutely no princess will be interested in doing business.

"The reason why I'm interested in doing business is because of one person."

"Who?"

"Brother Prince."

Hearing this, Su Shi waved his hand lightly and motioned to Zhou Xuan not to continue.

Although Zhou Xuan has not been in contact with Su Shi for a long time, he knows that he is a very assertive person and will not be easily influenced by others.

"Can you give me a moment to think about it?"

Su Shi didn't completely reject Zhou Xuan, but he wasn't perfunctory either, he just wanted to think about some things clearly and figure it out before he chose to help or not.

"No problem." Zhou Xuan replied very dryly.

Su Shi's fingers tapped on the table, making a crisp sound, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Who is putting Hui Niang under house arrest?" ”

"Father."

This answer was not surprising to Su Shi, and he continued to ask, "Why do you want to put her under house arrest?" ”

Zhou Xuan lowered his head and said softly: "Brother Prince's brother died suddenly, Huiniang was heartbroken, and broke into the East Palace to worship Brother Prince, but was taken by the forbidden army. Hui Niang is an embroidery lady in the palace, and she has a personal relationship with the prince's brother, and is not tolerated by the law. But her father was infatuated with her, and he didn't punish her much, but just put her under house arrest in the Red Plum Pavilion. ”

Su Shi suddenly frowned: "Do you know that the prince has an affair with Hui Niang?" ”

Zhou Xuan thought for a long time, and then shook his head: "I don't know, but if Huiniang and the prince's brother have no personal relationship, how could she break into the East Palace alone to worship the prince's brother?" ”

"Does Hui Niang admit that she has an affair with the prince?"

Zhou Xuan remembered the scene of that day, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hui Niang was captured by the forbidden army and brought into the East Palace. As soon as she saw the prince's brother, she burst into tears, was heartbroken, and her expression became demented. Although I was only nine years old at the time, I could see that Huiniang had a great relationship with the prince's brother, and I still needed her to say it. ”

Su Shi was unmoved, and continued: "Why did you put Hui Niang under house arrest in the Red Plum Pavilion instead of the palace? ”

Zhou Xuan said quietly: "Since Hui Niang has a personal affair with the prince's brother, it is no longer appropriate to be placed under house arrest in the palace, and the Red Plum Pavilion was originally the property of the prince's brother, so my father will put Hui Niang under house arrest there." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Who knew that three months later, Hui Niang still went with the prince's brother." ”

"How did Hui Niang die?"

"It is said that he committed suicide by taking poison."

"Supposedly?"

For this uncertain answer, Su Shi seemed very dissatisfied.

Zhou Xuan thought for a while and continued: "After Comet Niang was placed under house arrest in the Red Plum Pavilion, she just stayed in the study all day to embroider on that handkerchief. In a hurry, the father-in-law broke through the door of the study, and then found Hui lying on the desk, already dead, and the freshly embroidered handkerchief fell beside the chair. ”

"Later, after an examination by the imperial doctor, it was confirmed that Huiniang committed suicide by taking poison."

Su Shi finally asked the last question: "Why do you think that handkerchief hides a secret?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked rhetorically: "Do you know how long it takes to embroider that pattern on a handkerchief?" ”

Su Shi shook his head.

"I asked, the average embroiderer only takes seven days."

Su Shi groaned: "Hui Niang is not an ordinary embroiderer. ”

"So for Hui Niang, it only takes three days at most to embroider that handkerchief."

Su Shi couldn't help but touch his nose and said slowly: "But the embroidery girl has been embroidering for three months." ”

"What's even stranger is that Hui Niang also embroidered four patterns on the handkerchief that no one understands."

"No one really knows what those patterns mean?"

"I asked everyone who knew Hui Niang, and they didn't know."

"That alone is not enough to prove that there is a secret hidden in that handkerchief."

Zhou Xuan said slowly: "But not long after Hui Niang's death, the Red Plum Pavilion began to be haunted. ”
