Xiao Chuhong looked confused. He thought he was one of his staff or secret guards. Thinking of Su's surname, he remembered that the eldest son of the Taifu Mansion was named Su Zhen.
"Haven't you remembered yet? Seven years ago, during the Hundred Days Banquet at Taifu's Mansion, you even gave away your family heirloom!"
Seeing Xiao Chuhong moving his lips several times but not knowing how to speak, Shang Yuchen felt that he felt more balanced.
"More than that, that child, without knowing the friendship between you and me, offered me the favor of saving his life in exchange for my saving your life if you were in trouble in the future."
"Protect me? Why? How could he know that I would be in danger three months ago?"
Xiao Chuhong's first reaction was that the Su family was related to the Jiali Pass rebellion, but thinking about Su Tingye's deep friendship with his father, he gave up this idea.
"I once asked the Taifu about it, and according to what he said, Su Zhen was very naughty and often messed up with the prince of the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, which caused headaches for both families. Previously, the Hou Mansion kept making frogs croaking in the middle of the night, which made the whole house turn upside down.
Ye was afraid of being punished, so he fled to the Taifu's house overnight. Hearing that the matter was closely related to the two of them, they were both imprisoned in the end."
Even so, it was clear to onlookers that Xiao Chuhong was already suspicious.
"No! Have you investigated it carefully?"
"My father sent people to watch me very strictly. I just listened to what Lan Zhi said. When he fought with the assassin that night, there was a sound of xun, and then countless birds attacked the assassin. In the end,
The important thing is that after I was assassinated, I was also attracted by the sound of the xun."
"Today, in front of the city gate, someone played war music with a xun, and the mood of the people suddenly changed."
"Is it possible that Su Zhen used the ancient xun that you gave her as a gift back then? But isn't your broken xun unable to blow?"
Xiao Chuhong ignored the disgust in Shang Yuchen's words and asked doubtfully, "Yuchen, what's so unusual about that child?"
In this way, Shangyu Chen gave a complete account of what happened that night.
"By the way, that day during the day, he flew into the sky on an egret. He should be able to communicate with birds and beasts."
"So you brought me here today because you want to say that there may be someone with expert guidance behind him, and he may even know who killed my father?"
"Not necessarily, it's just a possibility. If that were the case, he could have told me directly to take precautions, and the matter wouldn't have reached the level it has now."
Xiao Chuhong clasped his fists and nodded gently, "Yuchen, no matter what, thank you very much."
Although Shangyu Chen didn't say it clearly, he knew that Shangyu Chen must have done something, otherwise the emperor would never let him off easily.
"There is no need to say thank you between you and me. Now we are both prosperous and devastated. In the eyes of my father, you are mine." Shang Yuchen patted him on the shoulder.
What he said was quite ambiguous, so Xiao Chuhong slapped his hand away.
"I'll go back to the house first. If you help me today, the Queen will definitely be dissatisfied."
"It's okay. Just protect yourself. After a while, I will request an order to bring you and Mrs. Xiao into the palace, so that you can recover from your illness."
"I am protected by the Xiao family army. There are many wolves, tigers and leopards in the palace. You can keep it for yourself to pass the time."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Chuhong turned his wheelchair and headed outside.
Shangyu Chen looked at his back, stood up and stood with his hands behind his hands. The sun was shining brightly today, but when it shone on that man, he only felt loneliness and sadness.
At this moment, Xiao Chuhong's eyes seemed to contain the murderous intention to destroy everything, and they disappeared in an instant. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, indifferent and distant, making people unable to detect the warmth.
