Chapter 233: The Secret That Can't Be Said
The sun rises in the east, dyeing the clouds in the sky brilliantly.
Su Shi and Jin stood on the deck, the sun shining on them, and the breeze blowing through the ends of their hair, setting them off more handsome and elegant.
Su Shi's eyes were slightly closed, and his expression seemed very indifferent, as if he was enjoying the calm and refreshing of this moment, but Zhou Jin didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunrise in Mirror Lake.
"I know you've admired this mirror lake sunrise countless times, but it's the first time for me, so you can accommodate me."
Zhou Jin barely showed a hint of a smile: "If you want to enjoy the sunrise over Mirror Lake, you can do it at any time, I can even give you this boat." ”
"I'm not a person who knows how to wind and snow, and when the mood comes, it's okay to do it occasionally." Su Shi couldn't help but reveal a trace of bitterness: "Any beautiful scenery, if you look at it every day, sooner or later you will lose interest." ”
Then Su Shi looked at her and couldn't help but joke: "Since the first time we met, you have been trying to give me this boat, are you tired of staying on the boat and want to change the environment?" ”
Zhou Jin couldn't help but glance at him, and said stupidly: "You are still in the mood to joke, now that the handkerchief has been stolen, if the thief understands the secret in the handkerchief, won't we have wasted all our efforts." ”
Su Shi seemed disapproving: "After you found out that the handkerchief was lost, no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace, and the handkerchief must still be in the palace, what are you worried about." ”
"What if the thief destroys the handkerchief?" Speaking of which, Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi a little strangely, because yesterday he was still interested in the secret on the handkerchief, but today it seems to have completely changed.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
The sunlight seemed to be too dazzling, Su Shi looked down at the water waves that shone with golden light, and became silent for a while.
After a long time, Su Shi withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Zhou Jin, who had an uncertain face.
"Have you ever wondered why the prince kept it a secret after he finished writing the book, and didn't even tell the people closest to him?"
This question has been haunting Zhou Jin's heart, but she can't think of any reason at all, and when she heard Su Shixiang ask, she couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.
"You know?"
Su Shi became a little hesitant at this time, he quietly looked at the distant mountains, his eyes were full of confusion.
"The reason why the prince kept his book secret is that I speculate that there should be a secret that he cannot tell."
"Is it his personal relationship with Hui Niang? But now the secret is no longer a secret. ”
Su Shi shook his head slightly: "This is not the secret recorded in the book. ”
Zhou Jin looked at him curiously: "What's the secret?" ”
Su Shi hesitated for a long time before finally sighing: "It should be a very strange, dreamy, and unbelievable experience, and this experience is absolutely impossible to tell people, and no one will believe it at all." ”
Zhou Jin was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing: "Brother Crown Prince has never even been out of the capital, how can there be the kind of experience you said." And if he had such an experience, how could I not know? Even if I didn't know, my father would know, but I've never heard anyone mention it. ”
Su Shi didn't seem to want to dwell too much on this issue, so he said, "And even if you find that book, it's useless?" ”
Zhou Jin was even more strange: "Why? ”
Su Shi sighed: "Have you forgotten the mysterious words on the handkerchief, except for the prince and Pei Hyun, no one can understand it." I believe that the prince also used this kind of writing in his book, and now that the prince and Bae Hyun are dead, who can decipher the meaning? ”
Zhou Jin still looked at him unconvinced: "Since Brother Prince and Pei Hyun can understand this kind of writing, I don't believe that there is no other person in this world who knows this kind of writing." ”
Su Shi couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "If there are really other people who know this kind of writing, then this world is too crazy." ”
His muttering voice was very low, and his words were indistinct, Zhou Jin couldn't hear it clearly, his two eyes were bent into two crescents, and he looked at him suspiciously.
Su Shi stretched: "If you don't believe it, you'll know when you find this book." ”
Seeing Su Shi saying half hiding and half hiding, Zhou Jin felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his expression became cold.
"In that case, I shouldn't have wasted my time, if I had been interrogated since last night, I am afraid that the handkerchief would have been found long ago."
"How?" Su Shi looked at her with a smile.
Zhou Jin was speechless for a while, there were twenty or thirty palace maids and eunuchs in her bedroom, and they came and went and didn't know how many people would be involved. And now there is no evidence in hand, even if one person interrogates one person by one, who will admit it.
What's more, the handkerchief is an extremely small thing, which can be hidden in an inconspicuous place if it is crumpled casually, and may not be found even if the entire palace is turned over.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jin was angry in her heart, and even Su Shi's smile didn't seem to look as good in her eyes as before.
"You're still laughing, don't you think of a way to get out."
Su Shi immediately restrained his smile, and said: "You rushed over early in the morning, I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet, I asked You Gui to prepare breakfast, let's discuss while eating." ”
"You're still in the mood to eat?"
Su Shi made a helpless expression: "No way, I'm growing my body, I'm hungry fast." ”
As if to prove his words, Su Shi's stomach screamed at this time.
When one person could hear the other person's stomach screaming, it meant that the distance between the two was already very close, and Zhou Jin couldn't help but glare at him with a red face.
In fact, every time Zhou Jin pays attention to keeping a distance from Su Shi, but he will always get close unconsciously.
When he came to last night's VIP room, You Gui was already waiting there, and when he saw Su Shi and Zhou Jin walking in, he immediately greeted him and said respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I have seen Su Gongzi." Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess and Su Gongzi to wait, and the little one will urge them to serve the food immediately. ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, when Su Shi smiled and said, "Brother You hasn't eaten breakfast yet, why don't you go together?" ”
You Gui's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young Master Su is tormenting the small." Xiao's status is humble, how dare he be called this, let alone eat at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess and Su Gongzi. ”
Su Shi was not reluctant, and nodded to You Gui: "Then there will be labor." ”
After You Gui left, Su Shi looked at his departing back and asked casually, "Uncle Gui has been on this boat for many years, right?" ”
Zhou Jin sat down and said casually: "When this painting boat first opened, Uncle Gui was already here, and it has been thirteen years. ”
"I remember that he lived in the painting boat all the time, and he didn't have a family?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "Uncle Gui fled to the capital, his wife and children starved to death on the way to escape, Uncle Gui was in love with the old love, and he had no idea of remarrying." ”
"Which room does your uncle live in on the ship?"
Zhou Jin's expression became strange, because Su Shi was too interested in You Gui.
But although she felt strange, she still pointed to the wall behind her, and said slowly: "There is a small room in the back, and your uncle lives there. ”
Su Shi looked at the wall, then looked up along the wall again, and nodded slightly.
