In Yi Lanxuan's study room, the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Su Xian, the master of the Su family, was comforted by his wife and children. He wiped the corners of his red eyes with his sleeves and couldn't help turning his head to urge the two aides:

"Mr. Yuan, Miss Xie, why are you silent?"

He no longer looked like the rich man he used to be, leisurely fishing in front of people. His face was sad and sad, and he was a little distracted. Now that he had a quiet wife and daughter behind him, he managed to calm down, and his tone regained some of the aura of Prince Li.

To be invited here by the Su family as soon as possible must be someone who knows everything and trusts them.

If it weren't for a stubborn old Confucian like Mr. Yuan who resigned from office and followed him all the way, only doing one thing.

If it weren't for Xianqi like Xie Lingjiang, who was sent by the corresponding Confucian forces behind him to protect Su Fu's safety just in case.

However, this can also show from the side that the Wei Wang Wei heir in Luoyang who came to the palace to complain was indeed a false accusation.

At this critical moment, the Su Mansion family searched a lot of circles and found two people to discuss secretly.

There is a hammer ambition.

Well, even if there is, it's certainly not much.

Otherwise, have you ever seen such a shabby entrepreneurial team?

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but look at Su Xian one more time.

Uncle Su was indeed wronged. He held a lively birthday ceremony and only doted on his young daughter Bao'er.

She has a deep understanding of Uncle Su's contentment and daily salted fish, often drinking fish soup and maintaining table manners.

What, what is "maintaining table manners" you ask?

Let's put it this way, as long as Xie Lingjiang is invited to the Su family dining table and sits down to eat together, the bowl of hot fish soup in the center of the table will not accidentally spill onto Su Xian's outer hat.

This is called maintaining table manners. When there are outsiders, Mother Weber is very warm and familiar, and the Su family's bowls are very honest and will not fly around.

It’s the same as when the Su family and his son enthusiastically invited Ouyang Rong to stay for dinner.

"Your Highness, I have something to say..."

Between the two of them, Yuan Xiangshan spoke first and bowed tremblingly.

Seeing this, Xie Ling Jiang continued to shut up and remain silent, then stepped back a little.

After listening for a while, she found that this old Mr. Yuan only said some words of comfort and loyalty, saying that he had an old life and shared life and death.

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

However, it can also be seen that Mr. Yuan didn't speak just now, not because he didn't mean to show off, or because he was worried like her.

It's just that I really don't have any strategies in mind.

Yuan Xiangshan is just a clean official. Even if he was the kind of person who waved the flag for his senior brother who dared to speak out, the old man didn't even become a minister before resigning, and he didn't look like anything.

"Wei Junjie" is well aware of current affairs but lacks experience in political struggle.

The reason why Xie Lingjiang didn't speak a word was because he was observing the behavior of the Su family in front of him in the face of crisis.

This was also a seemingly inconspicuous thing that Xie Xun entrusted to her. The father and daughter exchanged letters regularly.

Sitting first in the study were Uncle Su, Su Dalang, Mother Weber, and Su Guo'er.

Xie Ling Jiang's eyes under his long eyelashes were scanned silently.

When her eyes fell on the two men, she frowned slightly.

In fact, Su Dalang is not bad. Being generous and kind is not necessarily a bad thing. It means that he can listen to the words of talented people.

Mainly because Uncle Su was startled when something happened...

She shook her head slightly, and when her eyes fell on Webber's mother and Su Bao'er, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

But his brows furrowed even more.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at Su Guo'er who was sitting upright and silent.

This sister of the Su family, according to what her father said in her letter home, has three qi in her body.

Looking from afar, there is nobility.

Looking closely, there is calmness.

In danger, there is murderous intent.

This is just a young girl who has just grown hair and has lived in a boudoir in the ancient town for a long time. What will happen if she goes to the prosperous Luodu?

Xie Lingjiang suddenly remembered the vigorous handwriting at the end of one of his father's letters: Although the tiger and the leopard's colt have not been written down, they still have the spirit of eating cattle; the swan's wings are not fully fledged, but they have the heart of the four seas.

"My father has always been very good at judging people. Except for my senior brother, when I heard him and met him, I felt like I knew them both."

Xie Lingjiang whispered in his heart.

In fact, in the eyes of Xie Lingjiang, who is also a woman, it is not unacceptable for women to stand out. After all, not every man is as powerful as his senior brother.

In the past, it was not that there were no powerful and outstanding female nobles participating in politics in the political arena of Daqian and Dazhou.

But Xie Lingjiang also knew that in the minds of his father, and even many civil servants, the situation in the emperor's family should not be like this...

Su Guo'er, who was silent, suddenly looked sideways.

Xie Lingjiang withdrew his eyes and did not squint.

In the open space in front of them, Su Xian and Yuan Xiangshan supported each other and said some touching words. The former monarchs and ministers shed tears and lowered their heads to wipe their eyes.

"I am your Highness's son in life, and your Highness's ghost in death. When the Luoyang palace people come here, I am willing to imitate what the musician and the Prime Minister did, cut open my heart and liver, and present it to Emperor Wei to prove that Your Highness is innocent!"

Mr. Yuan scratched his neck and said, his face turned red and spittle flew everywhere.

Su Xian and Su Dalang couldn't help but feel moved, and the latter quickly stepped forward to dissuade him sadly.

"Teacher, why is this so!"

Wei Mei, Xie Lingjiang, and Su Guoer also looked sideways.

The incident between the musicians and the Prime Minister mentioned by Mr. Yuan refers to the fact that His Highness the Prime Minister, who had just been imprisoned in the palace, was falsely accused of treason by a villain instructed by the Wei family.

Empress Wei then sent ruthless officials to investigate and torture her to extract confessions, hoping to get her way. However, among the palace people, a musician surnamed An stepped forward and performed a disembowelment in front of thousands of palace people to show that His Highness the Prime Minister had no intention of treason.

The suspicious Empress Wei was deeply touched and no longer had any doubts, and His Highness the Prime Minister was spared from death.

At this moment, Su Xian heard the words and burst into tears. He raised his hands to cover his face, and saw that his sleeves were wet.

Su Guoer suddenly said crisply:

"Father, Mr. Yuan doesn't need to be so pessimistic. Maybe the situation is not that bad. Grandma is indeed just giving a gift. It's not yet known. Maybe there are other ways.

"I think Sister Xie is very calm and collected. Sister Xie, what do you think about this?"

She suddenly turned her head and asked, and everyone followed her gaze and looked at Xie Lingjiang.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at Su Bao'er and felt a little scornful in his heart.

Her composure was taught by her elder brother, not because she had any good ideas.

Senior Brother once said:

"Junior sister, you can't be so hot-tempered. Sit down and drink this cup of tea. Do you know what is the most important thing about being a staff master?"

"Are you making clever plans and strategizing for your lord?"

"No, it's the stability that remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. Even if you have to run away at the next moment, you have to put on airs and drink the tea slowly. Only in this way can you run faster."

"..."

Teaching everything will only harm you, Senior Brother... Senior Master Xie sighed inwardly, but he felt that Senior Brother was quite suitable to be a military advisor. It would be great if he were here now.

No one knew that she was feeling sorry.

In the study, Xie Lingjiang was stared at by different eyes. Xie Lingjiang sat upright, holding the letter from Luoyang in his right hand, shaking his sleeves, and had to speak, and said in a deep voice:

"Uncle Su, the letter sent by His Royal Highness the Prime Minister did not explain His Majesty's happiness or anger regarding the birthday ceremony."

Halfway through her words, she paused imitating her elder brother's show-off, and nodded like a riddle:

"This is actually the greatest good news. If His Majesty is really angry, he cannot be so lighthearted."

Everyone was stunned for a while after hearing this.

Su Guo'er couldn't help but interject: "It turns out that Sister Xie also knows about my grandmother's temperament."

Her eyes fell on Xie Lingjiang's calm and determined expression, and she asked again: "Did Uncle Xie and Sister Xie say anything in the letter?"

Xie Lingjiang shook his head and lowered his voice:

"The chaos in Yingzhou has just subsided. You also know the situation. The Wei family's children are not performing well... Your Majesty's prestige has been greatly damaged. If he chooses to attack you at this time, it will be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. He is not taking advantage of the power of a great victory.

.

She raised her head slightly, held the letter between her fingers, and gestured:

"In other words, Uncle Su, you have already passed through the most dangerous period without realizing it. Now that people are coming from Luoyang, please don't panic."

This well-founded and well-founded reasoning made several people in the room look relieved.

At this time, a panicked voice suddenly sounded:
To be continued...
