Su Rong had had enough sleep, and it was just time for lunch.
The things stored in the darkroom are enough to last for more than ten days, so no one is afraid of running out of water or food.
After lunch, there was nothing to do anyway. Su Rong continued to teach Zhou Gu how to play chess. Fengling, Ziye and others gathered around them to watch the game.
It is said that they watch the chess without saying anything, but Fengling and Ziye are not the ones who watch the chess without saying anything, but what they say is not very related to the moves on the chessboard.
I only heard Ziye say: "Except for my poor chess skills, my young master is very good at everything else."
Fengling also felt that Zhou Gu's chess skills were not very good. This chess game was far from his other plans, calculations, swordsmanship, etc., so she said, "Really? Does that brother-in-law know how to cook?"
Midnight said "uh" and scratched his head.
Zhou Gu turned to Fengling and said, "I don't know how. I heard that you can cook? You can teach me someday."
Fengling blinked and said, "Brother-in-law, do you want to learn how to cook? No, if you want to eat, I'll cook it for you. What's the matter? You're far away from the kitchen, so you'd better not go to the kitchen, so as not to get the smell of oil smoke all over your body."
What he actually wanted to say was that he was afraid that his sister would dislike him because he smelled like oil fumes. After all, the two of them slept on the same bed and hugged each other at every turn. Who could have imagined how much trouble they had had a few months ago?
Ah, at that time, he almost thought that these two people would never have contact with each other forever. Who knew that there would be such a change later.
Zhou Gu seemed to think for a moment, "The smell of oil smoke is not very pleasant."
She looked at Su Rong, "Can you cook?"
"Less likely."
Zhou Gu thought about it, "Then I'd better learn it, right?"
He didn't know if Ye Guixue could cook. Since Su Rong had chosen him, he couldn't be much worse than Ye Guixue.
Su Rong didn't know what Zhou Gu was thinking, so she said "Huh", "It's not necessary, right? Isn't Fengling here?"
She didn't think that if he learned to cook, he would cook better than Fengling. After all, Fengling likes to study cooking, and it doesn't happen overnight. And since she dislikes the smell of oil smoke, there is no need.
Zhou Gu suddenly remembered, "Brother Su seems to be good at cooking."
When he went to Xie's Mansion that day, he heard about it by chance and was very surprised at the time.
"Well, my elder brother can."
"Then I want to learn too." Zhou Gu turned to Fengling again, "You teach me."
Fengling blinked, "Okay!"
He didn't mind the smell of cooking fumes and asked me to teach him.
"Concentrate on playing chess." Su Rong tapped the chess piece on the table.
Zhou Gu nodded and quickly concentrated again.
Ziye came closer to Fengling and whispered: "My young master wants to learn to cook, do I have to learn too?"
"It seems so?" It doesn't make sense for the master to study hard, while the people around him are rubbing their hands and waiting for food.
Ziye regretted talking to Fengling. He didn't know why the topic changed to being a good cook. He immediately closed his mouth bitterly and planned to really watch the game without saying a word.
After all, Su Rong was still recovering from her injuries. After a game of chess, Zhou Gu asked someone to collect the chessboard and let her rest.
Su Rong was not actually tired, but she still listened to Zhou Gu's advice and lay down on the couch. However, she slept too much and didn't feel sleepy. She was quite bored.
Fengling understood Su Rong best and took out a painting book, "Sister, do you want to read the painting book?"
Su Rong thought it was a good way to pass the time and reached out to take it.
The night pearl in the secret room is so bright that it doesn't take much effort to read the picture book.
Seeing that Su Rong had something to pass the time, Zhou Gu was afraid that she would be tired from holding it, so he reached out to grab it and lay down next to her, "I'll help you turn the pages."
Su Rong nodded.
So, the two of them put their heads together and read the same picture book.
Fengling and Ziye glanced at each other, and they both saw the words "so sweet and considerate" in each other's eyes, which they would have never dared to think of before.
The time in the secret room is long, and the time in Nanping City is like a year.
In the East Palace of the capital, Prince Yan Huisheng sent someone to buy military pay privately and felt that Yan Lin could not stay.
For example, this time about the Pingxi General's Rebellion in Northern Hebei, he did not dare to reveal the news immediately and resolve it through the court, because he did not trust Yan Lin and did not believe that he would give up his ambitions and self-interests for the sake of the country.
.If he uses this to collude with Zhang Ping to cause trouble, the court will be in much more danger than it is now.
He sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the second prince's palace. At the same time, he sent people along the way to meet Zhang Yun who was being escorted to Beijing. This witness must not be missed.
In the Second Prince's Mansion, Yan Lin waited for several days, but did not wait for the news that Zhang Yun had succeeded. Instead, he waited for the news that Zhang Yun had failed and was secretly escorted to the capital. His face suddenly changed, "This Zhang Yun is more likely to fail than succeed."
thing."
He walked back and forth in the imperial study, his face ashen, "If he is escorted to the capital safely, this palace will be doomed."
He knew clearly in his heart that Prince Yan Huisheng was afraid that Ning Yao had held evidence of his years in his hands, but if he took those things out, he would not be punished to death, because he was very cautious in those years and tried his best to let the second prince do everything.
When Yan Li came forward, he hid behind him and ate meat and soup. His father had already punished Yan Li. If he pushed him, he would not be hurt. But Zhang Yun is different now. In order to make Zhang Yun
Yun intercepted and killed Su Rong, and the Ning family brothers used the soldiers and horses of Heyun County to secretly bribe the court officials to mobilize troops. This is a serious crime.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Since Yan Huisheng has arranged for someone to secretly escort Zhang Yun to the capital, it will be difficult for this palace to take him away from him."
He asked his staff, "What do you think this palace should do?"
The staff also didn't know, and all of them looked pale. If the second prince was found guilty of such a serious crime, they would also be finished. This was a major matter involving the lives of the whole family.
One of the court officials gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, even if it is difficult to snatch the prince from his hands, he must still do it with his life. Otherwise, once Zhang Yun is successfully escorted to Beijing, you will be doomed."
The rest of the staff nodded in agreement, "That's right. Your Highness can't be so indifferent just because it's difficult to seize someone."
Yan Lin looked at the staff, "Of course we want to take action, but because we sent people to kill Su Rong and the Ning family siblings, we have already reduced half of our manpower. If we send out the remaining men, we will have no one available."
.In this way, if it succeeds, it’s okay. If it doesn’t succeed, can this palace have no choice but to gamble and rob people? I can only watch Yan Huisheng use Zhang Yun to pull me out and list all the major crimes, and then act like my elder brother.
Just as there is no room for backhand?"
The staff shook their heads, "This is indeed not the best policy."
The first-in-command said: "I feel that we should prepare with both hands. One is to send people to rob people and kill Zhang Yun to silence him. The other is to create some trouble for the prince in the capital as soon as possible. Only by leaving the prince free to take care of him can we have a chance of survival.
.”
Yan Lin narrowed his eyes, "Causing trouble for the prince? How to find it?"
This staff member said: "My subordinates have discovered in the past few days that there seems to be some movement in the East Palace, which should be related to the Duke Protector's Palace."
