The corners of Yuzhu's mouth twitched and he refused to talk to Su Zhen. He just took the jade flute back from the hard-spoken and soft-hearted Su Zhen.
He breathed a sigh of relief at it, wiped it carefully with his sleeve, and then carefully put it back into the placket of his chest, treating it as a treasure.
"Little monk, after you entered the palace, did your master say anything strange to you?"
"Well, no!"
"What about the other things? Did he ask you to sit there for something?"
"No."
"Then... eh!"
Before Su Zhen finished her question, the carriage stumbled unexpectedly. Su Zhen couldn't sit still for a moment, her body tilted, and her head fell directly on Xiao Chuhong's leg.
Looking at each other, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Su Zhen quickly sat upright, no longer swaying and swaying, and coughed and said, "Um...Xiao Xiao, where is the princess now?"
"Not found." Xiao Chuhong replied to her truthfully, "Not long after she left Shaohua Palace, she threw away everyone's eyes and disappeared into the palace."
"Do you think she has left the palace?"
"Well, she said she didn't like the palace, so she must have left the palace. It's impossible in Jiangnan or the desert."
Su Zhen smiled and shook her head, "I think she is still in the capital, or even in the palace."
"Why?"
"Every time the emperor looks at the princess, he is looking at another person through her. The princess forced herself to accuse herself of false charges. If it had been someone else tonight, she would have been cut to pieces. But she is determined to leave the palace. Not only does the emperor
It is illogical to let her go without stopping her."
"Why don't they agree?" Young Master asked.
"If it were you who was sitting on the throne tonight, would you easily let a person with evidence of rebellion leave? Aren't you afraid that one day, that person will also become greedy?"
"Oh! I understand! You are really good at beating around the bush! It's just big cloves of garlic, why are you pretending to be snow mountain lotus? Don't you just want to say that it was the emperor...the emperor ordered it?"
The sudden raised voice of the young master frightened Su Zhen to the point where she lost all sleep.
"Hold down! Don't yell!"
"How is that possible? King Qin is his son! He is sick. To protect you, he even gave up his own son?"
"Prince Qin is a prince, but Yu Wude is not."
"Yu Wude?"
"Well, no matter how you calculate it this time, the beneficiary is not any one of us, but him."
Young Master Li stroked his chin, his eyes flickering back and forth between Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong. Suddenly, he pointed at Su Zhen and shouted loudly, "Oh! I know! What a little liar! So you and Huang...
.”
After receiving Su Zhen's warning look, Young Master Qi finally calmly shut his mouth, but after a few breaths, he spoke again, "Really or not? Is this a trap you set up together?"
"Well, almost. The princess is just one of the unpredictable variables. Even if she doesn't show up tonight, the emperor will not convict me. In the past few days, I have asked my people to collect the evidence of the Qin Wang Party's forces, and now it has been submitted
Arriving at the Emperor’s Dragon Case.”
"Ah? Then tonight some ministers' official residences were stolen by thieves. Who did it?"
"How did I know this?" Su Zhen spread her hands and blinked innocently.
"But if the princess doesn't show up, how are you going to escape?"
"Didn't Yue Xian'er like to use paper figures as puppets before? I also made a few, but in the end everyone was fooled by the fakes made by the princess, so naturally I didn't use them."
"I see."
"General, the Tutor's Mansion has arrived."
Li Jiu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"So fast..." Xiao Chuhong muttered softly.
"Xiao Xiao, what did you say?" Su Zhen, who didn't hear clearly, turned her head and asked.
"It's nothing. Since I'm back home, I just want to rest."
"Okay! Yuzhu, please follow me back home first. I will send someone to Yunshuang Temple to find your master tomorrow and ask you to send you a safe letter."
"good!"
Xiao Chuhong resisted the urge to stay and reluctantly watched Su Zhen and Yu Zhu get off the carriage one after another.
"Master! You are back!"
When the guards guarding the gate of Taifu's Mansion saw that Su Zhen had returned safely, they all showed joy and hurried back to report that Su Zhen was safe.
"Um."
Su Zhen had one hand behind her back, and the other hand was holding Yuzhu who was unwilling to do so. He tried to pull out his hand several times, but could not break free.
After Su Zhen entered the main entrance of Tai Tu's Mansion, the curtain of the General's Mansion carriage was lowered.
Young Master Qi sat on Xiao Chuhong's side and bumped his shoulder with his elbow, "Okay, everyone has gone in, don't look around."
"Li Jiu, go back home."
"yes!"
Li Jiu whipped his horsewhip and drove the carriage towards the general's mansion.
Xiao Chuhong was silent in the carriage for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Old guy."
"What are you doing?"
"Do you think...will Zhen Zhen really be attracted to Shang Jingyao?" Xiao Chuhong asked in a low voice.
Young Master Qi was dumbfounded, plucked his ears and asked, "What? What? What did you just say? Say it again."
Xiao Chuhong clenched his molar teeth and said, "Forget it if you didn't hear it."
"Shang Jingyao? Are you jealous of women?"
"No."
"You have!"
"No."
"You just have it!"
Li Jiu, who was driving the carriage, heard the childish conversation between the master and the apprentice in the carriage, and his head was full of black lines.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks. You are a bystander. Do you think... Zhen Zhen will really fall in love with that girl?"
Xiao Chuhong's words undoubtedly acquiesced in the answer to the young master's question. After a burst of laughter, Xiao Chuhong finally restrained himself under Xiao Chuhong's eyes full of murderous intent.
"Ahem! You can rest assured. I've done a fortune-telling for the two of them, and there's no chance of marriage at all."
The young master was so playful that he did not tell Xiao Chuhong about Su Zhen's daughter's identity.
Apart from selfishness, he just felt that this matter should not be revealed by him. After all, Su Zhen should have some scruples in concealing this matter.
Xiao Chuhong stared at the young master's eyes with doubt, not realizing that he was lying, and immediately believed him.
Lifting a corner of the carriage curtain, looking at the still bustling Kyoto city at night, he ordered, "Li Jiu, change the road and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Ah? But Madam has already prepared sweet soup for you, and said she would wait for you to return home safely, General."
"You will send the sweet soup to Zhiqiu Garden in Yunshu later. I will spend the night there tonight."
"Ah?! Stay the night!"
Or at Mr. Gu’s place?
"Ah what? Divert!"
"Oh! Yes!"
Li Jiu, who looked puzzled, turned the carriage around and drove it towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The general is very surprised. He is obviously very fond of Su's eldest son, and he has finally won the heart of the "beauty". Could it be that he has developed feelings for Mr. Gu again?
It shouldn't be... If the general is really a manly man, why did he wait until today to take action after he and Mr. Gu have known each other for many years?
Hey! Wait! Does it mean that the general doesn’t know how to face his wife? He doesn’t know how to talk to his wife about his proposal to marry Su Zhen?
Alas... To put it bluntly, it's because of Su Zhen!
