A few days later, a servant from Su Bo's faraway mansion sent a letter to Su Mingmo.

He didn't know what was going on, he just said in the letter that Su Mingmo should come over to explain.

Su Mingmo informed Xiao Qian and returned to the Su residence.

But they didn't expect that Su Boyuan and Su Mingmo were discussing about their Su family's going to seek refuge with the prince.

Su Boyuan told Su Mingmo that the prince saved the Su family earlier because he wanted to win over the Su family. Although the prince is a prince, his power in the court is not stable. It is said that Prince Duan has won many favors in the court recently. People seem to have the desire to rebel.

After Su Mingmo finished listening, he frowned and said, "Whether King Duan has other intentions or not, the crown prince will always be the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. Father, are you thinking too much?"

Su Boyuan originally studied under Wei Liang, Wei Liang was a Qing school, loyal to the people, and later because Emperor Xuancheng wanted to abolish the empress and promote Tang Anhe as prime minister. The official told his old man to return home.

Tang Anhe was the prince's uncle, so he naturally belonged to the prince's side. Now that Su Boyuan made it clear that he wanted to join the prince, his position had changed.In this way, Su Boyuan would not only be despised by other disciples of Wei Liang who were officials in the court, but also changed his usual position.

Although Emperor Xuancheng established the crown prince, he is still in power after all, no matter how much he loves the crown prince, it is impossible for the crown prince to climb on top of him while he is in power.

Su Mingmo persuaded: "Father, no matter what the relationship between the crown prince and Tang Xiang is, they are nephews after all, and it is understandable for them to get closer. We should avoid suspicion."

Su Boyuan looked up at him: "Then you are willing to be your Princess Ning in Prince Ning's mansion?"

Su Mingmo was taken aback for a moment: "Father..."

Su Boyuan trembled, pointed at him and said, "You know why the Holy Majesty gave you a marriage to King Ning, one is beating us."

"Your Uncle Wei was forced to leave by the Holy Majesty in this way. Today, the Holy Majesty is arbitrarily arbitrary, and no one will be allowed to disobey his will. The empress's mother's family has been powerful in the court for so many years, and the tail is too big. Now because the Empress has no children under her knees, the Holy Majesty has found For the first time, I want to uproot the Queen's mother's family, otherwise why do you think the Holy Majesty would support Tang Xiang to take the throne?"

"Do you know why the queen has been childless for so many years?"

Su Mingmo was stunned.

"Secondly, you know what the Holy Majesty meant. He gave you marriage to King Ning because he had no plans for King Ning's future. King Ning has always been at odds with the crown prince. This is something you and I both know. The king wants to plot rebellion, and King Ning must not be alone, who do you think he will help?"

Su Mingmo said in a daze: "Then are we going to fight against King Ning?"

"You!" Su Boyuan was angry, "Where is your ambition? Mo'er! Are you willing to be subordinate to others in this life?"

Su Boyuan said: "When the prince gains power, he will have the opportunity to help you abolish Princess Ning's status and give you back your freedom. If you just follow King Ning and fail to seize power in the future, you will be dead. Take ten thousand steps back and say , if King Duan succeeds in seizing power...if he can't tolerate King Ning in his eyes, how should you deal with yourself?"

"Mo'er!" Su Boyuan said earnestly, "Father, this is for your own good!"

Su Mingmo took a step back and sat down beside the chair in the hall of Su Mansion.

Coming out of the Su Mansion, Su Mingmo was walking back to Prince Ning's Mansion, passing by the pastry shop where Xiao Qian bought him osmanthus cake that day, he suddenly remembered something.

Almost no one knows that he loves sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

That was his childhood hobby.

In the past, he was fond of sweets, but after his mother passed away, no one ever bought him such sweet pastries.

He remembered that when he was young, her mother was ill for a while, and Su Boyuan let her and Su Mingmo move to the other courtyard of Su's mansion because his aunt Qiu Yunrong always made things difficult for her.

In fact, at that time, my mother was depressed and her body was weak. The doctor said that she would die soon.

Su Boyuan didn't tell Ji Qingyao what the doctor said, but instead told Su Mingmo, asking him to be obedient and sensible, and take care of his mother more in the other courtyard.

So in the small courtyard of Nasu Mansion, it was the most tormented time of Su Mingmo's life, and also the happiest time for Ji Qingyao before his death.

Su Mingmo was only seven years old at that time, but he shouldered the responsibility and burden of taking care of his mother alone.

Su Boyuan was the servant of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, Wei Liang was still in the court, and there were always many tasks assigned to Su Boyuan. Su Boyuan was busy with business, and rarely had time to come to other courtyards.

Apart from fetching medicine and decocting it for Ji Qingyao, Su Mingmo just had time to sit outside the back door of the other courtyard, watching the cars and horses coming and going, sometimes crying, sometimes in a daze.

Later, a child about his age came from the other courtyard.

The child was half a head taller than him, dressed in a strange suit of Western Region servants, and accompanied by a servant.

The servant looked weirder than his master, he looked like a person from the Western Regions, but his little master was more like a Han Chinese, and even handsome.

One day, Su Mingmo saw the young master coming out of the next courtyard and greeted him.

The two chatted about it.

From the other party's mouth, Su Mingmo learned that the child's mother had passed away, and his father didn't come to see him often, fearing that he would be bullied by others when he returned home, so he was placed in another courtyard first.

At that time, the little Su Mingmo said: "You and I have a similar encounter."

The little master of the other courtyard said: "Then if you encounter any troubles in the future, you can come to me."

Later, Su Mingmo's mother passed away.

At that time, Su Boyuan was still unable to make it back. The older Su Mingmo kept crying in the other courtyard. The doctor, the owner of the coffin shop.

After confirming that his mother would never wake up again, the little master decided to ask the coffin shop owner to arrange the funeral for his mother.

Naturally, Su Boyuan came late.

Su Mingmo remembered that in the few days after his mother passed away, it was almost the little master who comforted him and relieved him.

Later, the little master left, and he didn't know where he went.

Now that I think about it, the young master who lives next door to Su Mansion must be the Fourth Prince, right?

Because the little master knows that Su Mingmo loves sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and often buys it for him.

And although he looks like a Han Chinese, he speaks with a western accent.

When the fourth prince first entered the palace, wasn't he also laughed at by the prince because of his accent?

It is said that the Holy Admiral let Xiao Qian live in the suburbs of Beijing for a while before taking him back to the palace.

Everything is right.

The little master who lives next door to Su Mansion's other courtyard is the one who gave Su Mingmo a new life.

Without him, when Su Mingmo's mother passed away, Su Mingmo, who was only seven years old, might not be able to survive.

He might leave this world with his mother.

Therefore, just now, he argued with Su Boyuan, saying that being an official in the court should be upright and should not form cliques, and Su Mingmo, who should have his heart towards the emperor, thought to himself, if King Duan really wants to rebel, no matter whether Prince Ning is a gangster or not. It doesn't matter if King Zhuuan doesn't help.

He must be on King Ning's side.

No wonder Su Mingmo found Xiao Qian unforgettable when he saw Xiao Qian outside Prince Ning's mansion last year, and even seemed familiar.

The first acquaintance with you is like returning from an old friend.

After thinking through all this, Su Mingmo's steps became much lighter.

The shop selling sweet-scented osmanthus cake had to wait in line for a long time during the day, so Su Mingmo went in and bought a copy, and it was almost evening when he came out.

He thought the red marks on his face had disappeared, and when he returned to King Ning's mansion, King Ning was holding a scroll in his hand, as if he was waiting for Su Mingmo.

As soon as Su Mingmo entered, Xiao Qian relaxed his frown, stood up and said, "Zi Yu, why did you come back?"

As Xiao Qian said, he saw the red marks on Su Mingmo's face that hadn't faded away, and frowned again: "Who hit you?"

Su Mingmo put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand on the table: "My lord, let's have a snack."

Xiao Qian still stared at his face: "That old man Su Boyuan dared to hit you?"

Su Mingmo was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter."

"What did he tell you?" Xiao Qian said with a serious face, "Zi Yu, my patience is limited, if you don't tell me, I will come to ask."

It happened that Sixian sent someone to bring dinner: "My lord, where are you going to eat?"

"It's right here." Xiao Qian lifted his skirt and sat down beside him.

Seeing that Xiao Qian's expression was not good, Sixian quickly withdrew after finishing the work.

Only then did Su Mingmo slowly tell the truth.

"Su Boyuan wants to join the prince?" Xiao Qian smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Then let him go."

Anyway, he was the one who died in the end.

"My lord..." Su Mingmo hesitated for a moment, and asked Xiao Qian softly, "Do you want to help Prince Duan?"

"When did this king say he wanted to help King Duan? This king only helps himself."

Su Mingmo didn't speak.

"Zi Yu, how are you doing?" Xiao Qian asked him intentionally.

"Zi Yu is naturally helping the prince."

With Su Mingmo's words, Xiao Qian felt relieved.

That night, he deliberately drank a few more sips of wine, as if he was drunk, but he didn't seem to be drunk, his head was dizzy and swollen, and he refused to get up in his seat.

It was Su Mingmo who helped him back to the room.

Xiao Qian asked him in a daze, "Zi Yu, why did you help me?"

Su Mingmo opened his mouth and said a few words.

Xiao Qian said again: "Help me and you will die."

He didn't remember how Su Mingmo answered, but he only remembered that Su Mingmo said a lot.

Until he woke up the next day, Xiao Qian saw Su Mingmo lying beside his bed.

It seemed that Xiao Qian was half drunk and half awake last night, Su Mingmo was afraid that he would not sleep well, so he kept taking care of him in his bedroom.

When he woke up the next day, Su Mingmo was so tired that he fell asleep beside him.

Xiao Qian got up in the middle of the night, and still remembered to take the coat he hung on the screen beside him and cover him up.

——Zi Yu is naturally helping the prince.

Xiao Qian remembered what Su Mingmo said to him yesterday.

Xiao Qian thought to himself, with your words, everything I do in the future will be worthwhile.
