"Shouldn't I involve my second brother?"

Su Zhou put down his wine glass and looked at the distance shrouded in moonlight with a lost look, his expression full of hesitation and worry. 、

Under the cold moonlight, Su Nian's originally calm face suddenly became a little lonely: "When you wanted to find out the cause of the prince's death, I actually didn't agree, after all, it was a matter of the royal family, and as a courtier, I shouldn't get involved at all." ”

"At this point, your second brother sees it more thoroughly than you."

Su Zhou was silent for a long time, looked up at his father, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not that I don't understand the truth, it's just that the prince has the grace of protecting the Su family, and he also has the grace of teaching and knowing the children, so I can't stand idly by." ”

Su Nian nodded: "So even if I don't agree, I didn't say anything to stop it." ”

"But you really shouldn't have involved Shi'er in this." Su Nian's eyes gradually became worried: "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the inside story is far more complicated than we imagined, I'm really worried about your second brother, whether he can deal with such a complicated situation." ”

Su Zhou couldn't sit still anymore, he got up: "I'll go back to the capital tomorrow." ”

"Nonsense!" Su Nian glanced at him coldly: "If you have no intention to return to Beijing, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" ”

"What about the second brother?"

"Lin Mofei's biography once said that His Majesty came to the General's Mansion in person and talked with your second brother for a long time, although I don't know what His Majesty has instructions for Shi'er, but as long as he is still favored by the Holy Grace, no matter how big the wind and waves, his life should be worry-free."

Su Zhou was still a little relieved: "The so-called sacred heart is unpredictable, I really can't figure out what His Majesty is thinking about coming to the General's Mansion while putting his second brother under house arrest?" ”

"I have written to Lord Qin to ask for details. Count the days, Lord Qin will receive my letter tomorrow, and we will make plans after Lord Qin replies to the letter. ”

Su Zhou felt a little strange and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't my father write directly to the second brother?" Instead, it has to go through Lord Qin. ”

"Although your second brother is smart, he doesn't know much about officialdom, and he is in the bureau, so it is naturally difficult for him to see the situation clearly." Su Nian sighed and continued: "Lord Qin has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his insights on this matter are naturally much more thorough than Shi'er. ”

After hearing this, Su Zhou became silent again, and finally said after several times of wanting to speak: "I still write a letter to ask the second brother about the current situation, and then we will confirm each other." ”

Su Nian's expression became extremely strange: "You don't seem to believe Lord Qin? ”

"It's not that I don't believe Lord Qin." Su Zhou smiled reluctantly: "I just think that Lord Qin may not know the second brother." ”

Su Nian's eyes became even more strange: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Su Zhou didn't seem to know how to describe it, he thought for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Princess Pingle once used one sentence to describe the second brother. ”

"What?"

"The second brother seems to be young, but he speaks and acts like an old fox, and he has at least 800 hearts and eyes all over his body. He can see through many things at a glance, but he refuses to say them. ”

"Why is that?"

Because he knows that once something is said, it will be followed by troubles that cannot be shaken off. In fact, if Princess Pingle and I hadn't persecuted him, even if he saw that the cause of the prince's death was suspicious, he would never have told us. ”

"So ......"

"So what?"

"Second brother, he may not tell Lord Qin everything, and Lord Qin may not be able to understand the second brother's true thoughts."

Speaking of this, Su Zhou smiled bitterly again: "If the second brother doesn't tell the truth, I believe that no one can see through the second brother's mind." ”

"Won't Shi Er tell you frankly?"

"What I want to know, what he wants to tell me, the second brother, he will not hide it, but I always feel that he seems to have some concerns, or is afraid that we have any concerns, in short, many times he will only talk halfway. For the second brother, Her Royal Highness the princess is already mad, but she is helpless. ”

Hearing this, Su Nian muttered: "In this case, if you write to Shi'er, he may not tell you the truth." ”

Su Zhou nodded: "Actually, I don't have much hope for the second brother's reply, because he likes to carry things on his own now." However, as long as the second brother writes back and says that everything is fine, at least I can understand that he can still deal with the affairs in the capital, so that I can also feel at ease. ”

Su Nian didn't speak again, because Su Shi seemed to have become a complete stranger in his mind, and he really couldn't connect this scheming person with Su Shi in his mind.

The moon was already tilting to the west, but Zhou Jin didn't feel sleepy at all, she leaned on the pillow and looked out the window with dull eyes.

Maybe it's because the matter of her investigation has not yet come to fruition, maybe it's because she heard that the Hu delegation will enter Beijing tomorrow, or maybe it's because the air at night is still dull, Zhou Jin tosses and turns, and it is difficult to sleep.

She had tried to calm her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, her heart was pounding all night, as if she had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

It's just that she thinks about it, but she doesn't have any clue.

And because of this, her heart is even more chaotic. And just when her heart was in turmoil, she suddenly remembered Su Shi.

Then her heart was even more confused.

Not only was her heart chaotic, but it also seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult for her to breathe, and she had to sit up and silently look into the distance in a daze.

Also unable to sleep was Qin Nan.

Because in the dead of night, she suddenly thought of many things, and everything she thought of was not a good thing for Su Shi.

And she couldn't even think of any way around it.

Therefore, Qin Nan's heart not only became flustered, but also extremely frightened, as if watching Su Shi go to a dead end step by step, but she had nothing to do.

Chen Xiaolan had fallen asleep, but suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and when she woke up, she found that her heart was beating violently, she could even hear her own heartbeat, and her whole body was already wet with cold sweat.

When she slowly regained her composure, she suddenly felt that her heart was hurting, as if a needle was piercing, and she couldn't help herself.

Tears silently slipped down Chen Xiaolan's creamy face, because in her dream, there was a person more important than her life fell into her arms, no matter how she screamed, she gradually closed her eyes and lost her breath.

On this night, the only person who can sleep peacefully may be Su Shi.

Although he also slept late, when he lay on the bed, both his mood and his head suddenly became extremely calm, and there was no wave at all, so he not only fell asleep quickly, but also had no dreams all night.
