After sending Yan Huisheng back to the East Palace, Su Rong and Fengling took the car back to Dongsi Hutong.
On the way, Feng Ling said miserably: "If I had known earlier, the other half of the treasure map would have been destroyed long ago. Why should I be so excited? Alas, all my efforts have been in vain."
Su Rong said: "Even if the other half of the volume is destroyed, it is not in vain."
Fei Ling looked at Su Rong, "Sister, do you still have hope? That was ruined by Emperor Jingyuan, so His Highness the Crown Prince can't tell lies, right?"
"His Royal Highness, of course, will not tell lies." Su Rong glanced at him, "But what if we trace the origin of the treasure map? It is not without hope."
Fengling was puzzled, "Is this treasure map not from Emperor Jingyuan?"
Su Rong shook his head, "During the period of Emperor Jingyuan, the world was in chaos, with the heroes separatist and war-torn for years. Eventually, the Wei Dynasty and Daliang Dynasty were fighting against each other. Daliang was weak and the Wei Dynasty was strong. However, because the small country of Southern Chu belonged to Daliang, the two countries finally reached a situation where they were fighting against each other.
.As for how Nanchu came to belong to Daliang, according to Uncle Xie, it was because of a treasure map that Nanchu brought Daliang together. And that treasure map came from Nanchu."
Fengling suddenly became more energetic, "Sister, could you explain it more clearly? What did Mr. Xie actually say? Did he say that the treasure map came from Nanchu?"
Su Rong nodded, "Uncle Xie said that when the world was in chaos, the wisest person was the King of Southern Chu at that time. The Great Wei was originally strong. If he took refuge in the Great Wei, Southern Chu would naturally be swallowed up by the Great Wei, and the country would be ruined. But if it takes refuge in the weak
Some Daliang are different. It is precisely because Daliang is relatively weak that it can compete with the Wei Dynasty because Nanchu surrenders to it. It is precisely because of this that Daliang will not completely engulf Nanchu, allowing Nanchu to get between the two countries.
Stand firm in neutrality.”
Fengling praised, "That's indeed very wise."
"The king of Southern Chu got a treasure map in troubled times. It is said that before he had time to understand it, the kings of Wei and Daliang learned about it. Later, the king of Southern Chu gritted his teeth and gave the treasure map to the king of Daliang.
Through the treasure map, we can bring eternal goodwill between the two countries." Su Rong said: "If my guess is correct, the treasure map we just looked at was the treasure map at that time."
Fengling's eyes blinked.
Su Rong added: "Perhaps the King of Southern Chu gave half of the treasure map to Daliang? But he told the world that he gave the treasure map to Daliang, but Emperor Jingyuan of Daliang took the treasure map. Although
I found out that it was only half a broken scroll, but I was forced to acquiesce to it because the Wei Dynasty was looking at it with eager eyes."
Fengling's eyes suddenly brightened up astonishingly, "Sister, you mean, maybe there is another half of the treasure map in the Nanchu Palace?"
"I can't say for sure." Su Rong said, "Anyway, it's better to have it than not."
Fengling: "..."
What is this nonsense!
But even if this was Su Rong's bold guess, it was enough for Fengling to change her gloomy state and regain her spirits. She even couldn't wait to go to Nanchu.
Returning to Dongsi Hutong, Su Rong got out of the car and walked to the inner courtyard.
When I returned to the yard where I lived, I smelled the mixed smell of various medicines. I opened the door and entered the house. I saw Zhou Gu and Su Xingze immersed in medicine. Both of them looked attentive and serious.
Su Rong deliberately made noise and coughed slightly, and the two of them woke up. They both looked at her. Zhou Gu's face was filled with joy, "Are you back?"
Su Rong nodded and asked them, "How is it?"
Zhou Gu curled his lips and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Su Xingze rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's more difficult than the college entrance examination."
Su Rong was funny. It was really hard for them to ask two people who ranked first in scientific examinations to make medicine. She waved her hand, "You all go and have a rest. I will do it myself."
Su Xing let go of his hand and stood up.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "Let me help you! I'm not tired. Brother Su, go and rest!"
"Have you had lunch?" Su Rong asked.
"No." Su Xingze replied.
Su Rong rushed to Zhou Gu, "You go to have lunch with your eldest brother. I'll come here and Fengling will help me."
Fengling was about to run away, but before she could, she heard Su Rong's words and immediately entered the room with a grimace, "Okay, young masters, go ahead, I'll help my sister."
Zhou Gu could only stand up, looked at Su Rong and said, "I'm not tired. I'll come to help you after lunch."
Mainly because he was unwilling to waste the time he spent with Su Rong. After all, he was leaving Beijing soon. She wouldn't go to Nanchu in a short time, and he didn't know when he would see her again.
Su Rong knelt down and checked the herbs. Hearing this, he turned to look at Zhou Gu and said, "Okay."
Zhou Gu heard this and urged Su Xingze, "Let's go, Brother Su, hurry up, I'm hungry."
Su Xingze nodded.
The two of them went to the painting hall outside together.
After the two left, Fengling approached Su Rong and said, "Sister, Mr. Zhou is very smart. This is the first time you make medicine, you can make no mistakes. It shows that you are very talented in medicine. I remember that when you first learned medicine, you failed.
It took three times to make it.”
Su Rong was noncommittal and reminded him, "I was seven years old at the time."
Fei Ling chuckled and said, "That's right."
He was embarrassed to say that when he was seven years old, he also learned medicine for the first time. He failed seven or eight times and wasted a lot of good medicine, but later he stopped using it.
Zhou Gu and Su Xing were sitting in the painting hall having a meal, listening to what Fengling and Su Rong were talking about in the back room, which was vague and unclear.
Zhou Gu asked Su Xingze in a low voice, "Brother Su, have Fengling and Su Rong always been close?"
In his opinion, Fengling and Su Rong seemed to get along like a pair of siblings, at least more like siblings than Su Xingze and Su Rong. Fengling was very close and lovable to Su Rong.
Su Xingze nodded.
Zhou Gu whispered, "I'm a little envious of Fengling."
Su Xingze glanced at him and said nothing. But he thought in his heart, you don't have to be envious. If the news of Su Rong's breakup of engagement spreads, everyone will know in the future that she broke off her engagement to Ye Guixue for you.
When you are bound to Ye Xiang's house for profit, I'm afraid everyone should be envious of you.
Of course Zhou Gu didn't know at this time, he sighed softly, "Brother Su, I will leave tomorrow."
Su Xingze nodded.
Zhou Gu lowered his voice and said, "I wonder when the second Young Master Ye will leave the capital?"
Su Xingze didn't know either, "It should be soon."
Zhou Gu wanted to say something, but found it difficult to say it, so he simply gave up and put down his chopsticks, "Brother Su, I'm done eating. You eat slowly."
Su Xingze nodded.
Zhou Gu stood up and returned to Su Rong's house.
Fengling was surprised to see Zhou Gu finish eating so quickly, "Master Zhou, you have finished your lunch so quickly? Come and help my sister?"
Zhou Gu nodded and squatted down, "You go ahead, I'll do it."
"Okay, you come." Fengling happily agreed and walked away.
Su Rong turned to look at Zhou Gu, "What's the hurry?"
Zhou Gu wanted to say, "I want to spend more time with you, after all, I'm leaving Beijing soon." But he didn't say anything, and asked her, "Have you entered the library in the palace?"
Su Rong nodded, "Go in."
"That……"
"I have memorized Zhang Yu's notes and Wang Sheng's strategy. If you leave two days later, I can write them down for you to take with you and read at your leisure on the way. As for the treasure map, there is only half a fragment of it, which is incomplete.
"
Zhou Gu: "..."
Does he have another reason to stay with her for two more days?
