"It's great, I thought it would last for a long time!"
The cheers of the maids came from outside the house.
There had been violent winds and rain earlier, and the momentum seemed to be bound to destroy the heaven and earth, but now it only stopped raining for more than an hour.
When Lu Jingshu stood up from her seat, the maid came to the front to help her.
"Yue'er, Zhen'er, remember to put your life first in everything."
"Mom, please walk slowly."
"Yes, ma'am."
When Lu Jingshu passed by Su Zhen, Su Zhen saw that there seemed to be wisps of white mist surrounding her. When she wanted to get closer and take a closer look, the mist disappeared again.
After the master and servant walked out of the corner, Su Zhen bumped Xiao Chuhong's arm with her elbow and asked quietly, "You are obviously worried, why don't you continue to prevent your mother from leaving?"
"My mother shouldn't have followed me to Kyoto. Even if she went to Tianshan, she should have taken refuge."
"Looking at your tone, are you still afraid that the court will hold your mother hostage and threaten you?"
"You also know very well that the emperor needs my Xiao family army to clear obstacles for him. Before that, he will do his best to protect my mother. Otherwise, the Xiao family army will only become a new trouble and burden."
"Originally, wherever you land this hot chess piece, you will be frowned upon. But after this incident, I'm afraid you will become a piece of cake that everyone wants to fight for."
"It sounds very troublesome. As for the evidence you collected, the emperor didn't mention a word in the court today. It was originally the best time, but when the princess passed away, the evil wind and heavy rain swept over. At this time, the
Those people are afraid of causing chaos."
"Tch, let me see, the best time is to stir up the troubled waters at this moment, set a trap for each of them, and then put one of our own who has been trained earlier into it. Anyway, this court is already very dirty, it's a little messy
My son is better. They have framed and insulted me for so many days, so they should give me some fun."
Su Zhen had the mentality of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, hoping that those people would cause more trouble soon.
"You have a good idea. The emperor's deeds must be recorded in the annals of history. Do you want him to be a coward or a tyrant?"
"Come on less! As the emperor is so cowardly, I am convinced. I have to bear the brunt of the hammer. If those people are not eliminated now and wait until things have subsided, then do it. What is the difference between killing the donkey and killing the donkey? Maybe not only the people will be eliminated by then.
No, the royal reputation has to go into it."
Xiao Chuhong looked at Su Zhen with a doting and helpless smile, waiting to see how long she would keep pretending to be stupid.
"Yesterday evening, do you know who sent the people who broke into the ministers' mansions?"
"Didn't I tell you that before? I really don't know, it really wasn't me! If you pour all kinds of dirty water on me, who cares if I can't clean it off?"
Xiao Chuhong raised the corners of his lips and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I'll help you wash it. As for how to wash it, you have the final say after you marry me."
Listening to his ambiguous tone, Su Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stepped hard on his black boots and crushed him a few times, "You are so shameless!"
Xiao Chuhong endured the pain in his feet and patted her head gently, "I know it's not you, but who do you think it could be?"
Su Zhen spread her hands, moved her feet and said in a strange tone, "How do I know this? In fact, I am also quite puzzled. I just entered the city, and something happened to their families. Last night, that fat Mr. Wu from the Criminal Department,
At the palace banquet, he was instigating overtly or covertly, trying to pin charges on me, and maybe he had a hand in it too."
"Fat Wu?" Xiao Chuhong was amused by her tone.
"No! Those people are slandering others and are self-righteous! They don't care what the truth is. Anyway, if I die, it will make them happy. They are indeed quite simple, they just... simply want me
It’s just death. There’s nothing else besides this.”
"It's okay, they won't have another chance."
Xiao Chuhong's smile made Su Zhen feel creepy. He had really changed since we met after Huanyu Mountain.
Su Zhen let go of his hand, turned around and wrapped her arms around his strong waist. His waist was very strong, without any fat. Su Zhen rested her head on his shoulder, hiding the smile on her lips, "Thank you very much for these days.
I'm secretly taking care of Tai Fu's house."
After leaving Nanwei Villa, Xiao Chuhong rarely saw Su Zhen being so proactive. He opened his eyes slightly, his body was as heavy as a big piece of wood, his eyes were slightly dull, his hands were clumsy and stiff, and he didn't know where to put them.
"Zhen Zhen..."
"Um?"
Su Zhen's voice was like a soft, boneless kitten hanging on him.
Xiao Chuhong suppressed the rising 'fire' in his body, pushed Su Zhen away with great reluctance, and barely controlled his tone, "Let's go, lunch should be ready in the kitchen, mother is still waiting for us."
"good."
They walked out of the house side by side and looked up at the sky. The rain had indeed stopped. However, the sky had not cleared up and the sun was still covered by clouds.
The rainwater accumulated on the roof flowed down the eaves, and the branches of the trees in the courtyard were blown off by the strong wind. They were scattered everywhere, crushing the crisp and green flowers and plants under the trees.
Looking at the servants and servants cleaning up the mess through the stagnant water, Su Zhen curled her lips, touched the side of her face, and quietly hooked her fingers behind her ears. Another strong wind swept over, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.
Except for Xiao Chuhong, no one noticed the dark golden light mixed in the strong wind.
When they opened their eyes, the branches in the courtyard had rolled into the corner, clearing a path for them.
Su Zhen smiled, Xiao Chuhong held Su Zhen's hand and left the front yard, ignoring their exclamations.
...
Speaking of Prince Jing's side, he left the general's mansion, and before he could run a few miles, he was overtaken by Shang Yujian's secret guards Zhi Lan and Lan Zhi.
On the long street, Shang Mujing initially covered his face with his sleeves to avoid being caught by the Imperial Guards patrolling the city. But as the distance between him and the two people shortened, and even officers and soldiers were mobilized, he couldn't care less.
Many of them immediately ran rampant in the street. Fortunately, the heavy rain had just fallen and there were not many people, so no big trouble was caused.
He casually took out a fruit from the basket of a passing vendor and took a bite of it. His mouth was full of sweetness, "It tastes good, boss, I bought it all!"
He threw a piece of silver into the hawker's arms, unloaded his basket, and threw it all towards the pursuers behind him.
He took out the remaining silver from his body and threw it into the air. While the people were leaning over to pick up the money, he spun around and jumped up, throwing everything around behind him.
After successfully getting a chance to escape, his sharp eyes found a tall horse tied up in a nearby tree. The officers and soldiers behind him were still running around in a hurry. He smiled proudly and crept over there... This chapter has been completed!
