It was late at night, and Zhuo Yan was about to go back to the study to go to sleep when he came back. As soon as he walked in, he saw that the light in the room was still on. , "Are you still awake at this late hour?"

Su Mo sat on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in her hand, when she saw him coming in, she threw the book in her hand, and gave him a blank look, "I'll wait for you."

Zhuo Yan stood at the door for a while, mobilizing his internal energy to dissipate the chill from his body, then he walked to the bedside, stretched his arms and wrapped him in his arms, "Sorry, I've been busy with outside things these days, so I'm late."

Su Mo poked his hard-bound chest unhappily, "What are you busy with these days, leaving early and returning late?"

Then he glanced at him again, "Is it some important military matter that you can't tell me?" If this is the case, Su Mo naturally can't ask.

Zhuo Yan bowed his head, and put his porcelain-white slender fingers into his hand. This hand was slender and strong, neither as soft as a woman's hand, nor as rough as an ordinary man's hand.With slender bones and flexible muscles, he couldn't put it down every time.

"No, it's about the Chen family." Zhuo Yan concentrated on playing with Su Mo's fingers.

"Let's hear it." Hearing that it was not a confidential matter, Su Mo asked.

"As for the account book, I suspected that the Chen family had colluded with Beidi, but I have never found evidence. Restricted to normal business dealings."

"According to what you said, what is the Chen family planning?" Su Mo asked.

The Chen family colluded with the courtiers, and it could even be said that it was for the purpose of forming a party for personal gain and supporting King Liang to ascend to power.But what is the purpose of colluding with Beidi?Beidi's army is strong and ambitious, and colluding with Beidi is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. It is not impossible for a clever king like Liang to see this.

"This is also where I can't figure it out."

Even if there was any deal between the Chen family and Beidi, after this war, the two sides should have turned against each other. Considering Beidi's performance in the capital during this period, the two sides did not have much contact on the surface, but they still communicated frequently in private.

This behavior is extremely abnormal.

Apart from Zhuo Yan's calculations, most of Beidi's defeat in this battle was due to the secret agents sent by the Chen family, who provided Beidi with false news.

Even if the Beidi people are broad-minded and don't anger the Chen family, they will be suspicious, but there is nothing.

No matter how you think about it, it's incredible.

Su Mo was also fed up with the endless troubles of the Chen family, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "Actually, there is a solution once and for all."

Zhuo Yan frowned, and said solemnly, "No!"

What kind of temperament does Su Mo have that he doesn't know yet?It must be to use that ability to control Chen Jinpeng so that he can take something out of his mouth.

Although it is said that as long as this matter is kept secret, no one will know, but Zhuo Yan is still worried. Su Mo's power is too special, and Zhuo Yan does not want him to use it until it is a last resort. It's safe and sound.

Su Mo knew what Zhuo Yan was worried about, but he felt that it would be discovered just once!

But seeing Zhuo Yan's serious face, he was obviously a little unhappy, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The tactful person didn't mention this matter again, and said on a whim, "Do you think the Chen family will force the palace?"

That's how TV is made.

Zhuo Yan didn't know why his mind had turned to other places after such a short while, but seeing that he didn't stick to what he just said, he was happy to change the subject.

"No, King Liang has the heart now, but he doesn't have the ability."

Although the emperor had not been on the throne for a long time, he came from the army, and most of the military generals in the court were on the emperor's side. The so-called rebellion by scholars would not succeed in three years, so the Chen family wanted to drive a wedge between the emperor and Zhuo Yan.

Don't look at the many ministers in the court who look down on Zhuo Yan's background, they are afraid and disdainful of him.However, it is different in the army, the feats of these generals are all obtained from the battlefield with one sword and one sword, and Zhuo Yan has a lot of admiration for him.If the emperor and Zhuo Yan get dirty, these generals will inevitably feel sad, so the Liangwang family can take advantage of it.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Su Mo was just thinking about it casually, as long as he heard it.

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year's Eve came, and the emperor sealed the pen.

This was also the first New Year's Eve since the emperor ascended the throne, so it was naturally very grand.

The capital was crowded with people, and before nightfall, all kinds of lanterns were hung along the sides of the street, and candles were lit, reflecting the sky above their heads as if they were all ablaze.

Zhuo Yan was going to enter the palace, and Su Mo was still under confinement, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.

"Come back early." Su Mo sent the man to the door, very envious that the other party could go out today, but he could only stay at home.

Seeing him staring at him eagerly, like a puppy that can't get enough food, Zhuo Yan flashed a smile in his eyes, "Why don't I stay with you at home?"

"Don't! Don't! This is a palace banquet, how could you not go?" Su Mo shook his head quickly, pushed the person out, and signaled him to hurry up and not waste time.

"I'll come back early, if you're bored, talk to Xiao Wu." Zhuo Yan was just talking, he had to go on this occasion.

"Understood! Let's go!" Su Mo kept sending the man to the door, watching him get on the horse and walk away slowly.It wasn't until Yunjuan came to remind him that he walked back listlessly.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Yunjuan and the others tried their best to give him advice, "Zhengjun, although you can't go out on New Year's Eve today, there is no limit to singing and dancing, why don't you let the singer come and sing and dance?"

"Diva? Does our family have a diva?" This is the first time Su Mo has heard of it.

Su Mo knew that ancient aristocratic families had the habit of raising singers, mostly for the pleasure of their masters, but neither he nor Zhuo Yan had this hobby, and no one had heard of it. Only now did they know that the family still had singers.

"This..." Yun Juan was startled, seeing Su Mo's appearance, he knew that he really didn't know, and the two looked at each other.

It has become a fashion for aristocratic families in the capital to raise singers for fun, and there are naturally some in the Earl's Mansion, and these singers are arranged by the palace.

Since the two of them entered the mansion, they have never been called singers. They thought that Zheng Jun didn't want these girls to join him, but they didn't think he didn't know it at all.

But the uncle knew about it.The two of them also thought about how much the uncle attached to Zhengjun, and they were afraid that the uncle himself didn't want to meet these talents.

He said, "They are the singers arranged by the inner government. If Zhengjun doesn't want to see them, just ignore them."

Su Mo was about to say that he was here for entertainment, so that he could see the ancient singing and dancing, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to be interested in it alone, so he waved his hand weakly, "Forget it, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look. "

This night is still long, if I don't find something to do for myself, I won't be able to suffocate to death.

But Chang Zhong had arranged the family affairs well in the morning, so he was not needed at all, and after much deliberation, he could only go to the kitchen to make troubles.

A few days ago, Su Mo had ordered the chefs to start studying the dishes he provided, and the chefs were going all out to show them in front of Su Mo today.

From a distance, the kitchen was bustling with activity, and the smell of vegetables was coming in. Su Mo walked over with someone, and seeing him coming, the servants in the kitchen all greeted him cautiously.

The kitchen steward laughed and said, "Zhengjun, why are you here? It's very chaotic here, if you have any orders, just tell the villain directly, so why don't you come here yourself."

"It's okay, I'm busy with you, I'll just take a look." Su Mo waved his hands again and again, telling them not to worry, just concentrate on doing things by themselves.

He looked at it, and all the dishes he ordered were cooked, and they looked good.

I also knew that I couldn't do things with peace of mind in the kitchen with these people, so I had to leave again.

This time wandering to the backyard again, looking at the bare back garden, and hearing the bustling noises faintly coming from outside the mansion, I feel more and more pitiful.

Seeing that he was bored, Yunjuan suggested again, "Maybe Zhengjun, why don't you play chess with your servants?"

"No need." Su Mo waved his hand, "Go down, I'll be alone for a while."

"Yes." The two looked at each other helplessly, and retreated as they said.

Su Mo took a look and found that there were several big trees in the yard, one was close to the wall, and some of its branches had protruded out of the wall.

In the past, Su Mo did not do much to climb over the wall. He thought, why don't we go out and have a look?No one knows anyway!

But in the end, think about it or forget it, it would be bad if someone caught him.

In the palace, the banquet went smoothly, and the Empress Dowager Chen was very sensible today and didn't jump out at this time to make Wen Renchen unhappy.

Except for the last thing, which brought up the matter of succession again, everything looked amicable.

However, because of the matter of raising the Empress Dowager, after the Queen Mother left the banquet after the palace banquet, the Emperor also left the banquet, allowing the ministers to have fun.

Seeing the emperor leaving the banquet, Zhuo Yan had Su Mo in his heart, declined the invitation of several adults, and returned to the mansion.

Su Mo was playing games with Kaka boredly, but seeing Kaka's helpless and indulgent face, he knew who was playing whom.

Seeing Zhuo Yan come back, Kaka immediately lowered his head, pulled it out from under Su Mo's arms, turned around and ran away.

"You're back." Su Mo jumped up happily, took two steps, and crashed directly into Zhuo Yan's arms.

Zhuo Yan caught him firmly, looked down at someone smiling happily in his arms, and asked him, "Do you want to go out?"

Su Mo asked suspiciously, "Can I go out?"

Zhuo Yan said, "Today is New Year's Eve, the emperor has granted permission, shall we go?"

Su Mo laughed loudly, "Go, why don't you go?" One side jumped off Zhuo Yan anxiously, and followed him outside before he could stand still, "Go, go! If you go late, you will even watch the lanterns It's not here."

Zhuo Yan subconsciously supported him, and with a skillful hand, he pulled him back and said, "What's the hurry, it's still early."

"Oh! It's getting late, hurry up." Then he went to pull him.
