Man Xilan
Chapter 2 Accident
Towering ancient trees that cannot be surrounded.
Liu Lan looked at the huge guy, then at the smallest ax in his hand, frowned, and circled around the tree a few times, gesticulating left and right, the ax turned in the air After a few laps, there was a swishing sound. After tossing for a long time, I still couldn't start.
"This tree is too big." Liu Lan said helplessly.
"Then change to another one." Su Qizhi didn't hesitate, and pointed to the one next to him casually.
"This tree is too small~~"
"The one on the left~~"
“Wood is bad~~”
After pointing at more than a dozen trees, Liu Lan still did not move the axe.
Su Qizhi leaned against a big tree, and said coolly: "Hurry up, or the sun will go down."
Liu Lan chose left and right for a while, and came to a relatively thin tree.
"I'm really going to chop it off." Liu Lan raised the ax with both hands, posing in an extremely unprofessional posture.
"Cut it, cut it." Su Qizhi hurriedly urged.
With a muffled bang, Liu Lan's ax slammed into the tree trunk hard.
The seemingly weak little tree didn't move at all, but the ax couldn't be pulled out.
Liu Lan pulled it out several times with all her strength, but it didn't work at all.
"I can't pull it out anymore." Liu Lan let go of her hand and said generously, "Just put it here, we can go down the mountain."
"But you haven't cut wood yet."
"I chopped it, but I didn't get it. I said I chopped firewood, but I didn't say I got firewood." Liu Lan's eyes were innocent.
"Liu Lan, why are you like this again?" Su Qizhi was stupefied for a long time before he uttered such a sentence.I finally understood how the second brother provoked me repeatedly, and it was really uncomfortable to see a person always pressing on my head.
"What's the matter with me?" Liu Lan approached Su Qizhi, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Su Qizhi's face, and said like coaxing a child, "The fourth prince asked me to go up the mountain to cut firewood, so I'm here I'm afraid that the fourth prince will suffer from heat stroke in hot weather, so I suggest to go back, what is the fourth prince not satisfied with?" Liu Lan paused, looked at Su Qizhi who had a bad face and said with a smile: "Could it be that the fourth prince is too tired , let me carry you down the mountain?"
In the usual way, talking about this kind of thing with the fourth prince would definitely make you feel bad, so Liu Lan didn't expect any response from her words, it was just a verbal joke.
Unexpectedly, today's Su Qizhi was really depressed by Liu Lan's actions, plus Liu Lan's behavior in the past two days, and even counting those old debts when he was a child, all of them broke out together, and today's depression expanded At least ten times more.All I could think about was how to make Liu Lan uncomfortable, so I didn't think about it so much.
Su Qi jumped onto Liu Lan's back at once, and said viciously: "Okay, then you can carry me down, I am very heavy, and I will definitely overwhelm you!"
The sudden weight startled Liu Lan, and almost fell to the ground. She finally stabilized her body, and then heard Su Qizhi's threat of no lethality. Liu Lan couldn't help laughing, and said, "The fourth prince is still You're too skinny, you need to gain some weight."
It was Su Qizhi who responded to Liu Lan with a loud snort.
The mountain is very quiet, occasionally there are a few unknown bird calls, and there will be a few pine trees running around. On the winding path, Liu Lan walks slowly with Su Qizhi on her back.
At the beginning, Su Qizhi's purpose was to crush the enemy, his eyes were wide open, and he looked vigilant all the time, but later, it was very comfortable to lie on Liu Lan's back, and Su Qizhi's spirit gradually Relax, and finally close your eyes and take a nap.
When Su Qizhi opened his eyes, he found that he was already lying on the bed in the bedroom. Liu Lan and Caifu were sitting on the chairs by the window, talking happily.
Seeing Su Qizhi wake up, Caifu poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Today, the fourth prince bullied Mr. Liu Lan again?"
Su Qizhi almost spit out a sip of tea, pointing at the colored talisman, and said, "What did you say? I bullied him?" From childhood to now, every time he was angry with Liu Lan, he was always half dead, okay?
"Master Liu Lan came back today with the fourth prince on his back." Said Caifu, her tone seemed to be aggrieved for Liu Lan: "Master Liu Lan has worked really hard."
"That's what he asked for!" Su Qizhi said, glancing at Liu Lan who was sitting by the window with a bright smile on his face.
"As soon as Master Liu Lan asked, the fourth prince climbed up, so it's not that the fourth prince is bullying Master Liu Lan!" Cai Fu's voice was full of justice: "The fourth prince liked to bully Master Liu Lan very much when he was a child!"
"When I was a child?" Su Qizhi looked at the colored talisman and really wanted to knock her head open to see if someone had exchanged her memories. When she was a child, she obviously lived under Liu Lan's shadow.
"At that time, every time Master Liu Lan asked the Fourth Prince to play, and then the Fourth Prince ignored it. The Fourth Prince didn't cherish the things that Master Liu Lan gave to the Fourth Prince. ..." Caifu wrung his fingers, analyzed each one for Su Qizhi, and finally added a summary: "The fourth prince must treat Young Master Liu Lan better in the future."
Sitting under the window, Liu Lan kept nodding her head, expressing deep agreement with Caifu's words.
Su Qizhi looked at Caifu and then at Liu Lan, took a deep breath, and said to Caifu: "Caifu, can you go out first? I have something to say to Liu Lan."
After Caifu left, the room was quiet for a while.
Su Qizhi sat on the bed and looked at Liu Lan who was sitting by the window. The sunlight shone on Liu Lan's body through the window, making Liu Lan's smile look extraordinarily gentle.
It seems that from the first day we met, Liu Lan's smile has not changed.Do all sorts of things for yourself with that smile on your face.No one is so nice to another for no reason.So what exactly does Liu Lan want from herself?Su Qizhi had thought about this question many times, but he didn't want to delve into it, because in the past, no matter what Liu Lan thought, he didn't care much.
But today, for the first time, Su Qizhi wanted to know Liu Lan's thoughts.
If it was a clever trick to flatter and spread the news, Su Qizhi would be very sad, no matter what, Su Qizhi also regarded Liu Lan as a friend.
If it was an emotional matter, Su Qizhi would feel sorry.
That absurd relationship is not over yet, Su Qizhi is really powerless to respond to anyone, watching Liu Lan's dedication will only make him feel more and more guilty.
"Liu Lan." Su Qizhi called softly.
"Huh? What can the fourth prince tell me?"
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
Liu Lan paused, then asked back, "What does the fourth prince think it's for?"
"If it's for the position of the crown prince, I can tell you that it's never my turn. Your Liu family can do their best to support brother Sanhuang and don't bother me. If it's for... emotional matters... " Su Qizhi felt that it was a bit difficult to say: "I can't respond to you now, so you don't have to be so nice to me anymore, because I don't like to owe anyone, and I don't like to be in a hazy, ambiguous state. ..."
"What exactly does the Fourth Prince want to say?" Liu Lan frowned at Su Qizhi.
"It means...you don't like me..." Su Qizhi's face turned red.
Liu Lan stared at Su Qizhi for a long time before saying, "Who said I like you?"
"Huh?" Su Qizhi was stunned, did he realize it wrong?
"It's so strange! You actually said that I like you! You royal children have complicated thoughts! You just want to be good friends and good neighbors, but you have to say something else." Liu Lan was furious.
"Huh?" Su Qizhi was stunned again.
"Won't the Fourth Prince be shy if you think about whether you like it or not at such a young age?"
"what?"
"A child from a commoner family like me is very innocent," Liu Lan walked up to Su Qizhi, and continued, "I never think about messy things. What the fourth prince said today really hurt my heart. .”
"I'm sorry, I..." Su Qizhi has never been so embarrassed in his life!
"You hurt me!" Liu Lan stared at Su Qizhi with resentment on her face. "You slandered my innocence!"
"What?" How could it be so serious?
"For you royal children, these are nothing, but for ordinary people like me, whether you like it or not is a big deal. The fourth prince slandered my innocence. What if I can't find a wife in the future?"
"It's not...so serious."
"It will be so serious," Liu Lan said firmly, "Many people can't find wives because of this! So the fourth prince wants to compensate me."
"...How to compensate?" Liu Lan should have more money than herself, so what should she compensate?
"Did I treat you well before?"
"Very good." Su Qizhi nodded realistically.
"So you have to make up for all the kindness I have shown you. This way the fourth prince will not owe me anything."
Su Qizhi stared blankly at Liu Lan's calculations in front of him, "I took the Fourth Prince out thirty times before, so the Fourth Prince took the initiative to ask me out thirty times, and I sent four The prince's four little birds, plus yesterday's five chickens, have to be returned... I gave the ancestral jade pendant to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has to give me something too." Speaking of this, Liu Lan told Su Qi After sizing it up for a while, he finally stepped forward, took off a small jade gourd that Su Qizhi often hung around his waist, hung it on himself, and said with satisfaction: "This is just right."
When Returning Man Xilan Volume 12 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Entering the Palace by Order
After receiving Su Qi's promise of 'compensation', Liu Lan's actions in Su Qi's mansion became more casual.Most of the day was spent in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and he left only after he had something to deal with.Liu Lan's handsome appearance, coupled with his gentle personality, captured the loyalty of the servants in Su Qi's mansion within a few days. Among them, the colorful talisman is the representative. Throughout the day, Master Liu Lan is the tallest, and Young Master Liu Lan is the shortest. Even Liu Lan If you don't have lunch in the mansion, you will ask Caifu to say a few words.
Su Qizhi spent most of his time with Liu Lan, climbing mountains, fishing, chatting, or simply just the two of them in the room, each holding a book, not talking, just killing time quietly.
Such days are like a small river flowing in front of the house, clear and demure.
A month later, an imperial decree came from the palace to let Su Qizhi enter the palace to face the saint.
After the decree was read out, the eunuch who delivered the decree happily handed over the decree to Su Qi, and said, "It's a good thing that the fourth prince entered the palace this time."
"What's the matter?" Su Qizhi asked.
"This slave doesn't know. Anyway, after hearing that His Majesty issued this imperial decree, Eunuch Fore was very happy."
Fore, that loving old man, this name used to be with him day and night, but now he hears it like a lifetime away.It's just been more than two months since I left the palace, and my state of mind has changed like this.Time can really wear away too many things.
After Su Qizhi finished changing, he was about to enter the palace with the little eunuch. Liu Lan, who was sitting quietly by the window, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Su Qizhi's arm, and asked, "Will the fourth prince enter the palace this time?" Won't you come back?"
"How come?" Su Qizhi shook his head, "Father won't let me go back."
"Then what if His Majesty lets the fourth prince move back to the palace? Will the fourth prince go or not?"
"This..." Su Qizhi hesitated for a moment, if the father really let me go back... I don't want to go back to that sad place, but I have some expectations in my heart to be closer to the father... a rational and emotional choice...
"The Fourth Prince will definitely go back, right? No matter how good the stay here is, as long as His Majesty says something, the Fourth Prince will definitely do as His Majesty says, right?" Liu Lan grabbed Su Qizhi's hand and shook it more and more tight.
Su Qizhi wanted to break away from Liu Lan's hand, but Liu Lan's hand was very strong, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Looking at Liu Lan's expression, Liu Lan said that if you don't give me a clear answer, I won't let you go posture.
No matter how much you hint, no matter how determined you are, the obsession for many years will not disappear in two months. The idea of seeing Su Xuan finally prevailed, and there is a little eunuch waiting beside him In desperation, Su Qizhi said to Liu Lan coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether I come back or not?"
This sentence was like a thorn, Liu Lan immediately let go of Su Qizhi's arm, and stepped aside without saying a word.
Su Qizhi felt the momentary stiff atmosphere because of the words just now, and also stood there without saying a word, not going forward to talk to Liu Lan, but he also had no intention of going out of the room.
The two of them seemed to have more stamina than the other, and neither of them spoke.
"Fourth prince, there is no time to delay entering the palace." The little eunuch next to him couldn't understand the scene in front of him, so he could only remind Su Qizhi to leave quickly.
Only then did Su Qizhi lightly respond, and walked out together with the little eunuch.
Looking at Liu Lan with a gloomy expression, Caifu asked cautiously, "Do you want a cup of tea, Young Master Liu?"
"unnecessary."
"What about the pastries? The newly made pastries in the kitchen are delicious."
"Caifu, I don't need anything, can you go down first, I want to be quiet for a while."
Caifu responded, turned and left, and carefully closed the door before leaving.
Liu Lan lay on the bed, feeling very tired.
In this world, everyone has a wall in their hearts, some are stone walls, some are brick walls, some are a simple fence, and the wall in the fourth prince's heart is crystal.
Looking at the transparency, it seems that the fourth prince's heart is within reach, but the crystal shell is harder than any other material.
No matter how much I paid, no matter how much I racked my brains to stay by his side, no matter how much I tried to make him happy, I was still separated from that cold wall.I always thought that the relationship with the fourth prince had improved during these days, but when I met His Majesty, I was immediately beaten back to my original shape, and what I got was still such an emotionless sentence.
What does it have to do with you?This sentence hurts the most.A boundary line was drawn between the two people, and a bottomless chasm was added.
When can I really walk into the heart of the Fourth Prince?Let the fourth prince tell himself his secret without reservation?When will the Fourth Prince be able to have the same smile on himself as on His Majesty?When will the fourth prince put himself first, just like he put him first?
The answer to all questions is no solution, no solution, no solution.
Putting her arms over her eyes, Liu Lan thought, maybe in this lifetime, the fourth prince will not have the same feelings as her. Even if she dies for him, she will only get a cold sentence from the fourth prince: What have you got to do with me? relation?When I look back many years later, I will feel that the efforts of youth are just a joke.
As a businessman, her nature is to pursue the greatest benefit. Liu Lan knows that the safest way to do it now is to give up this hopeless relationship, put away those fantasies, do business in peace, follow the arrangement of her parents, and marry a master Girl, maybe if you are lucky, you can marry a princess, just like millions of men in this world, with one by your side and with the other in your heart, and live a life of having a wife and children.
But Liu Lan couldn't bear it, it was the 'destiny' she believed at the first sight, so she just gave up, how could she be willing?
Su Qizhi walked in the palace with the little eunuch, looking at the familiar scenery around him, he couldn't help feeling a throbbing in his heart, and he forgot all the depression caused by Liu Lan just now, and there was only one question in his mind: What time is it? I haven't seen you for a month. I don't know how the father is doing?
The little eunuch who led the way led Su Qizhi outside a hall and left.
Su Qizhi pushed open the door, thinking happily that his father was waiting for him in the room, but unexpectedly, after the door opened, there were many people inside the room.
The eldest brother is here, the second brother is also there, the third brother is sitting next to the second brother, and several court ministers are also there, and the father... Of course he is also there, holding a beautiful doll in his arms, sitting on the main seat. bit.
"Father, Big Brother, Second Brother..." Forcibly suppressing his joy, Su Qiyi raised his head and asked after bowing to the crowd, "What is the matter with Father calling your son over today?"
Before Su Xuan could speak, the child sitting in his arms suddenly said, "Which one are you? Why don't you salute me?"
"Then who are you?"
"I'm Su Huai, father's favorite prince!" Su Huai put his arms around Su Xuan's neck, and said in a childish voice, "Father, if he doesn't salute to me, can you punish him?"
"He's your fourth brother!" The second prince Su Yuzhi shouted angrily from the side: "Why are children so unruly!"
Su Xuan has many heirs. This Su Huai was unknown in the palace before, and most people didn't know his existence. Unexpectedly, a month ago, Su Xuan loved such an unknown prince in every possible way.Everyone in the palace said that His Majesty was more indulgent to Prince Su Huai than to the fourth prince back then.
Some senior maids and eunuchs in Qingyun Palace saw the young Su Huai carelessly spoiling some things left by the Fourth Prince, while His Majesty showed no intention of restraining them, and their hearts were completely chilled.
That crystal-clear child seemed to have really lost His Majesty's favor.
"Father~~~They all bully me~" Su Huai was so frightened that he went straight into Su Xuan's arms.
Su Xuan casually patted Su Huai's back with his hands, without making a sound, but kept staring at Su Qizhi who was standing below.
Su Qizhi also raised his head and looked directly at Su Xuan. Compared with Su Huai's arrogance, he was more concerned about the fact that when he was in the palace, he was the only one who could be so close to his father, but now, his position has been taken. .
Unconsciously, he raised his hand to hold the jade pendant on his chest again, to absorb some warmth, and Su Qizhi asked again: "What's the matter for the father to ask the son to come?"
"About the assassin." Su Xuan put down the child in his arms, and walked in front of Su Qizhi.Said: "The assassin who assassinated you that day has been caught by the Criminal Ministry."
"Assassin?" Su Qizhi looked at Su Xuan in surprise. Strictly speaking, the assassin is the person in front of him. How could there be other assassins?
"Fourth brother, it is really the assassin who assassinated you." Su Yuzhi thought that Su Qizhi's expression was excited because he heard the news that the assassin had been arrested, and explained to him aloud: "The Ministry of punishment spent a lot of money It took a lot of strength to capture him in a small county, but unfortunately he refused to plead guilty~~"
"So Father wants me to enter the palace today to identify him?"
"Well, that assassin is very stubborn. Even if the evidence is sufficient, he will not plead guilty. I don't want to be criticized for wronging a good person, so I hope you come and identify him." Su Xuan stared at Su Qizhi and said.There are many criminals who refuse to plead guilty. It is common to extract confessions by torture. Even after torture, they still refuse to convict. There are also many criminals who are beheaded after printing their fingerprints while they are in a coma.Besides, this time the criminal was personally interrogated by His Majesty, even if he did not plead guilty, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks if His Majesty said a word?
But when the criminal dragged his wounds all over his body and still refused to give in and asked the fourth prince to come out to identify him, what flashed through Su Xuan's mind was not to behead him immediately to achieve his goal, but to think that this way , 'he' should enter the palace again.
The imperial decree was passed on immediately, Su Xuan came back to his senses, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to do so, so he hurriedly found several princes and ministers to accompany him, especially Su Huai In this formation, Su Xuan felt that he would not be disturbed by that lonely ghost.
Returning to Man Xilan Volume 13 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Resolutely Denies
Su Huai was put on the ground, and seeing his father ignore him and ran to another person, he felt very wronged. The temper that was favored by Su Xuan in the past few days also became angry, his mouth pouted, and he yelled childishly Said: "I want to find my father! I want to find my father~~"
Hearing Su Huai's shout, Su Xuan was completely unmoved, and still observed Su Qizhi's expression on his own.
Su Lianzhi pretended not to hear, and stared at the teacup in his hand, as if he was studying the pattern on the teacup. Su Yuzhi snorted loudly, and kicked this little devil several times in his heart. In the arms, people are enviable, but today this brat can only be disgusted.How can such a nasty child be compared with the Fourth Emperor?
Only Su Ruizhi stretched out his hands to Su Huai with a smile, and said, "Su Huai, come here, Brother Huang, and Brother Huang will play with you."
Su Huai jumped into Su Rui's arms, looked at the others with disdain: "You all bully me, let my father punish you."
"Hmph!" Su Yuzhi made a big grimace at him.
Su Xuan ignored the actions of other people, and still stared straight at Su Qizhi's expression, as if he wanted to dig out something from his face. After seeing Su Qizhi's words, he just lowered his head and ignored himself. Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he leaned into Su Qizhi's ear, Su Xuan asked softly, "What do you think of this child Su Huai?"
Su Huai?That kid who appeared out of nowhere to take his place?
Su Qizhi glanced at Su Huai who was joking with Su Ruizhi, and said lightly, "It's pretty good."
"I also think it's very good. I brought him to my side, so I can enjoy the joy of raising a child." Su Xuan's voice became gentler, but his eyes became colder.
"Then congratulations." Su Qizhi lowered his head and said softly.
"How can there be sincerity in the congratulations with the head lowered?" Su Xuan looked at Su Qizhi's indifference, and the anger in his heart soared. Why is this attitude?Shouldn't he arrogantly scold Su Huai away?Shouldn't he run up to him loudly, begging himself not to give up his position to others?How can this person be so indifferent? "You have to look me in the eyes and say, this kind of congratulations counts."
Su Qizhi's body trembled when he heard the words, and he raised his head after a while, looking straight into Su Xuan's eyes, and Su Xuan also looked at Su Qizhi, just like what happened countless times more than ten years ago , The two people only have each other's existence in their eyes.
"Then congratulations father." Su Qizhi said slowly.
"Father? Are you worthy?" I just can't understand his attitude.When it was time to pray, he was still holding on here.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." This sentence was said very quickly, before Su Xuan could answer, Su Qizhi said quickly again: "I wonder when will the criminal be identified?"
Su Xuan glanced at Su Qi coldly, turned around and ordered to the guards: "Bring up the criminal who assassinated the Fourth Prince!"
The guards led away, and after a while, they carried a bloody man into the hall.Throwing the criminal on the ground casually, ignoring the criminal's muffled groans due to the pain, the guard next to him stepped forward to mend his feet.
Su Xuan came to the criminal, raised his embarrassed face with his toes, and asked aloud: "You said that you want the fourth prince to identify you in person, and now the fourth prince is in this hall, this sin I let you recognize Convinced!"
"Fourth Prince~~" The suspect opened his mouth, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, "I was really wronged~~ On the day of His Majesty's birthday, I stayed at home honestly and didn't go out~~"
"Fourth prince," the suspect begged bitterly: "Please be sure to realize that I have no power to restrain a chicken, how could I enter the palace and become an assassin?"
Su Xuan raised his leg and kicked the suspect, walked up to Su Qizhi, and said with a smile: "Qizhi, in front of so many people, tell Father, is this person an assassin?"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, hurry up and recognize the criminal, so that Father can avenge you." Su Yuzhi shouted from his seat.
"Fourth brother, speak quickly, don't disappoint father's kindness." Su Ruizhi also continued.
"This person... is not the assassin from that day." Su Qizhi walked up to the assassin, looked at the assassin's face carefully, and said calmly.
"Qizhi," Su Xuan walked up to Su Qizhi and hugged him into his arms as before, with an indescribably gentle voice: "Father knows that you were frightened by the assassin that day, and your memory is blurred. Go take a good look, is this person the assassin from that day?"
Lie down again in this embrace, very warm, listening to the familiar heartbeat, smelling the familiar fragrance, Su Qizhi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, carefully pushed Su Xuan away, and took a few steps back, He said firmly: "It's not him, the assassin that day was not him!"
"Qizhi won't take a closer look? Don't miss such a big thing!"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, please obey your father and take a closer look." Su Ruizhi also helped to persuade.
"It's not him, no matter how many times I look at it, it won't be him." Su Qizhi said without hesitation.
"Okay, very good!" Su Xuan's face was ashen, but he rushed to the officials present here angrily: "I asked you to investigate carefully, so I found out such a result? Fortunately, Qizhi was present and cleared the wrongdoing of the suspect. , otherwise, I will be accused of being a fool!"
As early as when Su Qizhi denied the suspect, those officials were paralyzed with fright, and when they heard Su Xuan's words, they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Xuan to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me~~~ The clues found by Weichen's subordinates all point to him~~-~"
"Weichen's subordinates spent two months working on the case carefully, and they will definitely not catch the wrong person~~"
"Fourth Prince, otherwise you should take a good look~~`"
Su Qizhi shook his head, retreated to the door, and said to Su Xuan: "Father, after the identification is completed, can I leave?"
Su Xuan looked at Su Qizhi with a smile on his face, just as warm as before, "Father has something to do with Qizhi later."
Su Qizhi nodded and sat down on the chair beside her.
Su Xuan looked at the sweaty officials below, and said casually: "You guys are not effective, after three days, all of you will be dispatched to the frontier."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, the number of words in this chapter is a bit short, and the next chapter will make up for it
happy holidays everyone
Returning Time Man Xilan Volume 14 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Proud Capital
He ordered people to drag out those officials who yelled and begged for mercy, leaving only Su Xuan and Su Qizhi and their brothers in the room.
Su Yu looked at Su Qizhi with a worried face, and said cautiously, "Fourth Brother, these officials are not doing their job well, Father will definitely send capable officials to find the assassin that day for you..."
Su Qizhi smiled at Su Yuzhi, but said nothing.
Su Xuan looked around at the several princes present, and said: "You guys go down first, it's good for Qi Zhi to stay."
Everyone else stood up silently, saluted and left. Only Su Huai heard that his father wanted to let him go and let the other princes stay. He felt that his status as the most beloved prince had been greatly challenged, and Su Huai jumped out. Holding Su Ruizhi's arms, he ran up to Su Qizhi, raised his face and asked, "Which one are you? Dare to let Emperor Father leave you alone?"
Su Qizhi looked at Su Huai, and before he could speak, Su Yuzhi broke out, grabbed Su Huai by the neck, picked it up like a kitten, and walked away, cursing: "Which one are you, you dare to put on airs in front of him, see if I don't punish you today!"
Su Huai grinned, crying earth-shatteringly, his calf kicked wildly in the air, a few small black footprints were printed on Su Yuzhi's white clothes, Su Yuzhi blushed, and raised his right hand in the air , It’s not a fight, it’s not a fight, it’s hard to ride a tiger.
Farce, the solemn and solemn hall just now has suddenly become a place where farce is staged.
Su Xuan looked at the scene in front of him coldly, his expression became more and more unkind, Su Qizhi lowered his head, as if indifferent, Su Lianzhi nervously looked at Su Yuzhi's raised arms, with a worried look on his face , while Su Ruizhi watched with great interest, thinking that the play was pretty good.
Seeing that the two sons were getting more and more troubled, Su Xuan ignored it and still watched coldly.It's just that as Su Huai cried longer and longer, the air pressure in the room became lower and lower.
Su Huai, who was gradually crying, also felt that something was wrong, and silently changed from crying loudly to soft sobbing, and Su Yuzhi immediately put Su Huai on the ground, and the two stood side by side in the middle of the hall, with their heads bowed, pleading guilty look.
"Have you two had enough trouble?" Su Xuan asked.
"Father~~he provoked the Fourth Brother first~" Su Yuzhi, who was furious just now, could only speak submissively.
"Father, punish him! Slap him!" Su Huai still shouted arrogantly.
"It's against the style of a child of the royal family to make a scene in front of me. Ruizhi, how do you punish such a faux pas?"
"Father, according to the regulations of royal etiquette, each person should go down and copy the etiquette ten times, and half a year's salary will be deducted." Su Ruizhi said respectfully.
"Then let's do it like this." Su Xuan waved his hand, signaling them to retreat quickly, such a fuss is really annoying.
"Father~-" Su Huai said aggrievedly.
"Can't the emperor understand what I'm saying?" Su Xuan looked at Su Huai, and said impatiently, "If you talk too much, you'll drag it down and hit the top ten boards."
This sentence was cold and hard, without mercy, even if he was ignorant of current affairs, Su Huai had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. After the four of them saluted together, they left the room, leaving space for Su Qizhi and Su Xuan.
"Is there anything else?" Su Qizhi asked after the room was completely clean.
Although the farce just now was caused by him, Su Qi was so stunned that he showed no sense of existence at all.
"Can't I chat with you if I don't have other things?" Su Xuan leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, and said, "I happened to think of something and wanted to tell you."
"whats the matter?"
"Something about Liu'er."
Su Qizhi paused for a moment, and then said: "Why did you tell me about her, I'm not... your child."
"It's because you know you're not Liu'er's child that you need to listen."
"But..." I didn't want to hear it.
Su Xuan ignored Su Qizhi's hesitation, and said to himself: "Liu'er, the eldest princess of Qi country, the sister of Emperor Xuan, the real golden branch and jade leaf..."
"Such a woman has the elegance and nobility of a princess, but also has some naive fantasies that are not realistic."
"She actually thought that she and I would stay together and live like this for the rest of our lives."
"Such an idea is really ridiculous."
"As an emperor, you can pamper someone, even like and fall in love with someone, but you must never indulge a person. Especially indulge a person's feelings. Some of Liu'er's thoughts are still very naive."
"I don't know what's the point of your majesty telling me this?" Princess Yeliu's feelings were belittled to such a state, Su Qizhi couldn't help but interrupt Su Xuan's words.
"Hehe," Su Xuan took Su Qizhi's actions as jealousy of Yeliu, and acted because he felt uncomfortable. He felt quite comfortable in his heart, and didn't mind Su Qizhi's rude interruption, and continued: "Yeliu married Half a year after giving it to me, I took in another five concubines for various reasons, and the entry of these five concubines caused a big fight between her and me."
"Smashed the things in the bedroom, and shut the door to me for half a month in a fit of anger." Su Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the situation back then, with a smile on his mouth: "It is estimated that this is what Liu Er grew up to do. One of the most inappropriate things."
"After closing the door to me for half a month, I didn't soften my heart at all, and never took the initiative to look for her again. It took another month like this. When news came that one of the concubines was pregnant, Liu Er found her. I, take the initiative to show favor and ask for peace."
After recalling the past, Su Xuan stared at Su Qizhi's expression and said: "What I want to tell you today is that even if she is as noble as Ye Liu, even if I love Liu'er so much, I will let her bow her head in front of me, because in Qing Kingdom, I am the ruler of everything."
"So," Su Xuan stepped down from the seat, came to Su Qizhi, and asked in a low voice:
Liu Lan looked at the huge guy, then at the smallest ax in his hand, frowned, and circled around the tree a few times, gesticulating left and right, the ax turned in the air After a few laps, there was a swishing sound. After tossing for a long time, I still couldn't start.
"This tree is too big." Liu Lan said helplessly.
"Then change to another one." Su Qizhi didn't hesitate, and pointed to the one next to him casually.
"This tree is too small~~"
"The one on the left~~"
“Wood is bad~~”
After pointing at more than a dozen trees, Liu Lan still did not move the axe.
Su Qizhi leaned against a big tree, and said coolly: "Hurry up, or the sun will go down."
Liu Lan chose left and right for a while, and came to a relatively thin tree.
"I'm really going to chop it off." Liu Lan raised the ax with both hands, posing in an extremely unprofessional posture.
"Cut it, cut it." Su Qizhi hurriedly urged.
With a muffled bang, Liu Lan's ax slammed into the tree trunk hard.
The seemingly weak little tree didn't move at all, but the ax couldn't be pulled out.
Liu Lan pulled it out several times with all her strength, but it didn't work at all.
"I can't pull it out anymore." Liu Lan let go of her hand and said generously, "Just put it here, we can go down the mountain."
"But you haven't cut wood yet."
"I chopped it, but I didn't get it. I said I chopped firewood, but I didn't say I got firewood." Liu Lan's eyes were innocent.
"Liu Lan, why are you like this again?" Su Qizhi was stupefied for a long time before he uttered such a sentence.I finally understood how the second brother provoked me repeatedly, and it was really uncomfortable to see a person always pressing on my head.
"What's the matter with me?" Liu Lan approached Su Qizhi, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Su Qizhi's face, and said like coaxing a child, "The fourth prince asked me to go up the mountain to cut firewood, so I'm here I'm afraid that the fourth prince will suffer from heat stroke in hot weather, so I suggest to go back, what is the fourth prince not satisfied with?" Liu Lan paused, looked at Su Qizhi who had a bad face and said with a smile: "Could it be that the fourth prince is too tired , let me carry you down the mountain?"
In the usual way, talking about this kind of thing with the fourth prince would definitely make you feel bad, so Liu Lan didn't expect any response from her words, it was just a verbal joke.
Unexpectedly, today's Su Qizhi was really depressed by Liu Lan's actions, plus Liu Lan's behavior in the past two days, and even counting those old debts when he was a child, all of them broke out together, and today's depression expanded At least ten times more.All I could think about was how to make Liu Lan uncomfortable, so I didn't think about it so much.
Su Qi jumped onto Liu Lan's back at once, and said viciously: "Okay, then you can carry me down, I am very heavy, and I will definitely overwhelm you!"
The sudden weight startled Liu Lan, and almost fell to the ground. She finally stabilized her body, and then heard Su Qizhi's threat of no lethality. Liu Lan couldn't help laughing, and said, "The fourth prince is still You're too skinny, you need to gain some weight."
It was Su Qizhi who responded to Liu Lan with a loud snort.
The mountain is very quiet, occasionally there are a few unknown bird calls, and there will be a few pine trees running around. On the winding path, Liu Lan walks slowly with Su Qizhi on her back.
At the beginning, Su Qizhi's purpose was to crush the enemy, his eyes were wide open, and he looked vigilant all the time, but later, it was very comfortable to lie on Liu Lan's back, and Su Qizhi's spirit gradually Relax, and finally close your eyes and take a nap.
When Su Qizhi opened his eyes, he found that he was already lying on the bed in the bedroom. Liu Lan and Caifu were sitting on the chairs by the window, talking happily.
Seeing Su Qizhi wake up, Caifu poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Today, the fourth prince bullied Mr. Liu Lan again?"
Su Qizhi almost spit out a sip of tea, pointing at the colored talisman, and said, "What did you say? I bullied him?" From childhood to now, every time he was angry with Liu Lan, he was always half dead, okay?
"Master Liu Lan came back today with the fourth prince on his back." Said Caifu, her tone seemed to be aggrieved for Liu Lan: "Master Liu Lan has worked really hard."
"That's what he asked for!" Su Qizhi said, glancing at Liu Lan who was sitting by the window with a bright smile on his face.
"As soon as Master Liu Lan asked, the fourth prince climbed up, so it's not that the fourth prince is bullying Master Liu Lan!" Cai Fu's voice was full of justice: "The fourth prince liked to bully Master Liu Lan very much when he was a child!"
"When I was a child?" Su Qizhi looked at the colored talisman and really wanted to knock her head open to see if someone had exchanged her memories. When she was a child, she obviously lived under Liu Lan's shadow.
"At that time, every time Master Liu Lan asked the Fourth Prince to play, and then the Fourth Prince ignored it. The Fourth Prince didn't cherish the things that Master Liu Lan gave to the Fourth Prince. ..." Caifu wrung his fingers, analyzed each one for Su Qizhi, and finally added a summary: "The fourth prince must treat Young Master Liu Lan better in the future."
Sitting under the window, Liu Lan kept nodding her head, expressing deep agreement with Caifu's words.
Su Qizhi looked at Caifu and then at Liu Lan, took a deep breath, and said to Caifu: "Caifu, can you go out first? I have something to say to Liu Lan."
After Caifu left, the room was quiet for a while.
Su Qizhi sat on the bed and looked at Liu Lan who was sitting by the window. The sunlight shone on Liu Lan's body through the window, making Liu Lan's smile look extraordinarily gentle.
It seems that from the first day we met, Liu Lan's smile has not changed.Do all sorts of things for yourself with that smile on your face.No one is so nice to another for no reason.So what exactly does Liu Lan want from herself?Su Qizhi had thought about this question many times, but he didn't want to delve into it, because in the past, no matter what Liu Lan thought, he didn't care much.
But today, for the first time, Su Qizhi wanted to know Liu Lan's thoughts.
If it was a clever trick to flatter and spread the news, Su Qizhi would be very sad, no matter what, Su Qizhi also regarded Liu Lan as a friend.
If it was an emotional matter, Su Qizhi would feel sorry.
That absurd relationship is not over yet, Su Qizhi is really powerless to respond to anyone, watching Liu Lan's dedication will only make him feel more and more guilty.
"Liu Lan." Su Qizhi called softly.
"Huh? What can the fourth prince tell me?"
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
Liu Lan paused, then asked back, "What does the fourth prince think it's for?"
"If it's for the position of the crown prince, I can tell you that it's never my turn. Your Liu family can do their best to support brother Sanhuang and don't bother me. If it's for... emotional matters... " Su Qizhi felt that it was a bit difficult to say: "I can't respond to you now, so you don't have to be so nice to me anymore, because I don't like to owe anyone, and I don't like to be in a hazy, ambiguous state. ..."
"What exactly does the Fourth Prince want to say?" Liu Lan frowned at Su Qizhi.
"It means...you don't like me..." Su Qizhi's face turned red.
Liu Lan stared at Su Qizhi for a long time before saying, "Who said I like you?"
"Huh?" Su Qizhi was stunned, did he realize it wrong?
"It's so strange! You actually said that I like you! You royal children have complicated thoughts! You just want to be good friends and good neighbors, but you have to say something else." Liu Lan was furious.
"Huh?" Su Qizhi was stunned again.
"Won't the Fourth Prince be shy if you think about whether you like it or not at such a young age?"
"what?"
"A child from a commoner family like me is very innocent," Liu Lan walked up to Su Qizhi, and continued, "I never think about messy things. What the fourth prince said today really hurt my heart. .”
"I'm sorry, I..." Su Qizhi has never been so embarrassed in his life!
"You hurt me!" Liu Lan stared at Su Qizhi with resentment on her face. "You slandered my innocence!"
"What?" How could it be so serious?
"For you royal children, these are nothing, but for ordinary people like me, whether you like it or not is a big deal. The fourth prince slandered my innocence. What if I can't find a wife in the future?"
"It's not...so serious."
"It will be so serious," Liu Lan said firmly, "Many people can't find wives because of this! So the fourth prince wants to compensate me."
"...How to compensate?" Liu Lan should have more money than herself, so what should she compensate?
"Did I treat you well before?"
"Very good." Su Qizhi nodded realistically.
"So you have to make up for all the kindness I have shown you. This way the fourth prince will not owe me anything."
Su Qizhi stared blankly at Liu Lan's calculations in front of him, "I took the Fourth Prince out thirty times before, so the Fourth Prince took the initiative to ask me out thirty times, and I sent four The prince's four little birds, plus yesterday's five chickens, have to be returned... I gave the ancestral jade pendant to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has to give me something too." Speaking of this, Liu Lan told Su Qi After sizing it up for a while, he finally stepped forward, took off a small jade gourd that Su Qizhi often hung around his waist, hung it on himself, and said with satisfaction: "This is just right."
When Returning Man Xilan Volume 12 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Entering the Palace by Order
After receiving Su Qi's promise of 'compensation', Liu Lan's actions in Su Qi's mansion became more casual.Most of the day was spent in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and he left only after he had something to deal with.Liu Lan's handsome appearance, coupled with his gentle personality, captured the loyalty of the servants in Su Qi's mansion within a few days. Among them, the colorful talisman is the representative. Throughout the day, Master Liu Lan is the tallest, and Young Master Liu Lan is the shortest. Even Liu Lan If you don't have lunch in the mansion, you will ask Caifu to say a few words.
Su Qizhi spent most of his time with Liu Lan, climbing mountains, fishing, chatting, or simply just the two of them in the room, each holding a book, not talking, just killing time quietly.
Such days are like a small river flowing in front of the house, clear and demure.
A month later, an imperial decree came from the palace to let Su Qizhi enter the palace to face the saint.
After the decree was read out, the eunuch who delivered the decree happily handed over the decree to Su Qi, and said, "It's a good thing that the fourth prince entered the palace this time."
"What's the matter?" Su Qizhi asked.
"This slave doesn't know. Anyway, after hearing that His Majesty issued this imperial decree, Eunuch Fore was very happy."
Fore, that loving old man, this name used to be with him day and night, but now he hears it like a lifetime away.It's just been more than two months since I left the palace, and my state of mind has changed like this.Time can really wear away too many things.
After Su Qizhi finished changing, he was about to enter the palace with the little eunuch. Liu Lan, who was sitting quietly by the window, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Su Qizhi's arm, and asked, "Will the fourth prince enter the palace this time?" Won't you come back?"
"How come?" Su Qizhi shook his head, "Father won't let me go back."
"Then what if His Majesty lets the fourth prince move back to the palace? Will the fourth prince go or not?"
"This..." Su Qizhi hesitated for a moment, if the father really let me go back... I don't want to go back to that sad place, but I have some expectations in my heart to be closer to the father... a rational and emotional choice...
"The Fourth Prince will definitely go back, right? No matter how good the stay here is, as long as His Majesty says something, the Fourth Prince will definitely do as His Majesty says, right?" Liu Lan grabbed Su Qizhi's hand and shook it more and more tight.
Su Qizhi wanted to break away from Liu Lan's hand, but Liu Lan's hand was very strong, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Looking at Liu Lan's expression, Liu Lan said that if you don't give me a clear answer, I won't let you go posture.
No matter how much you hint, no matter how determined you are, the obsession for many years will not disappear in two months. The idea of seeing Su Xuan finally prevailed, and there is a little eunuch waiting beside him In desperation, Su Qizhi said to Liu Lan coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether I come back or not?"
This sentence was like a thorn, Liu Lan immediately let go of Su Qizhi's arm, and stepped aside without saying a word.
Su Qizhi felt the momentary stiff atmosphere because of the words just now, and also stood there without saying a word, not going forward to talk to Liu Lan, but he also had no intention of going out of the room.
The two of them seemed to have more stamina than the other, and neither of them spoke.
"Fourth prince, there is no time to delay entering the palace." The little eunuch next to him couldn't understand the scene in front of him, so he could only remind Su Qizhi to leave quickly.
Only then did Su Qizhi lightly respond, and walked out together with the little eunuch.
Looking at Liu Lan with a gloomy expression, Caifu asked cautiously, "Do you want a cup of tea, Young Master Liu?"
"unnecessary."
"What about the pastries? The newly made pastries in the kitchen are delicious."
"Caifu, I don't need anything, can you go down first, I want to be quiet for a while."
Caifu responded, turned and left, and carefully closed the door before leaving.
Liu Lan lay on the bed, feeling very tired.
In this world, everyone has a wall in their hearts, some are stone walls, some are brick walls, some are a simple fence, and the wall in the fourth prince's heart is crystal.
Looking at the transparency, it seems that the fourth prince's heart is within reach, but the crystal shell is harder than any other material.
No matter how much I paid, no matter how much I racked my brains to stay by his side, no matter how much I tried to make him happy, I was still separated from that cold wall.I always thought that the relationship with the fourth prince had improved during these days, but when I met His Majesty, I was immediately beaten back to my original shape, and what I got was still such an emotionless sentence.
What does it have to do with you?This sentence hurts the most.A boundary line was drawn between the two people, and a bottomless chasm was added.
When can I really walk into the heart of the Fourth Prince?Let the fourth prince tell himself his secret without reservation?When will the Fourth Prince be able to have the same smile on himself as on His Majesty?When will the fourth prince put himself first, just like he put him first?
The answer to all questions is no solution, no solution, no solution.
Putting her arms over her eyes, Liu Lan thought, maybe in this lifetime, the fourth prince will not have the same feelings as her. Even if she dies for him, she will only get a cold sentence from the fourth prince: What have you got to do with me? relation?When I look back many years later, I will feel that the efforts of youth are just a joke.
As a businessman, her nature is to pursue the greatest benefit. Liu Lan knows that the safest way to do it now is to give up this hopeless relationship, put away those fantasies, do business in peace, follow the arrangement of her parents, and marry a master Girl, maybe if you are lucky, you can marry a princess, just like millions of men in this world, with one by your side and with the other in your heart, and live a life of having a wife and children.
But Liu Lan couldn't bear it, it was the 'destiny' she believed at the first sight, so she just gave up, how could she be willing?
Su Qizhi walked in the palace with the little eunuch, looking at the familiar scenery around him, he couldn't help feeling a throbbing in his heart, and he forgot all the depression caused by Liu Lan just now, and there was only one question in his mind: What time is it? I haven't seen you for a month. I don't know how the father is doing?
The little eunuch who led the way led Su Qizhi outside a hall and left.
Su Qizhi pushed open the door, thinking happily that his father was waiting for him in the room, but unexpectedly, after the door opened, there were many people inside the room.
The eldest brother is here, the second brother is also there, the third brother is sitting next to the second brother, and several court ministers are also there, and the father... Of course he is also there, holding a beautiful doll in his arms, sitting on the main seat. bit.
"Father, Big Brother, Second Brother..." Forcibly suppressing his joy, Su Qiyi raised his head and asked after bowing to the crowd, "What is the matter with Father calling your son over today?"
Before Su Xuan could speak, the child sitting in his arms suddenly said, "Which one are you? Why don't you salute me?"
"Then who are you?"
"I'm Su Huai, father's favorite prince!" Su Huai put his arms around Su Xuan's neck, and said in a childish voice, "Father, if he doesn't salute to me, can you punish him?"
"He's your fourth brother!" The second prince Su Yuzhi shouted angrily from the side: "Why are children so unruly!"
Su Xuan has many heirs. This Su Huai was unknown in the palace before, and most people didn't know his existence. Unexpectedly, a month ago, Su Xuan loved such an unknown prince in every possible way.Everyone in the palace said that His Majesty was more indulgent to Prince Su Huai than to the fourth prince back then.
Some senior maids and eunuchs in Qingyun Palace saw the young Su Huai carelessly spoiling some things left by the Fourth Prince, while His Majesty showed no intention of restraining them, and their hearts were completely chilled.
That crystal-clear child seemed to have really lost His Majesty's favor.
"Father~~~They all bully me~" Su Huai was so frightened that he went straight into Su Xuan's arms.
Su Xuan casually patted Su Huai's back with his hands, without making a sound, but kept staring at Su Qizhi who was standing below.
Su Qizhi also raised his head and looked directly at Su Xuan. Compared with Su Huai's arrogance, he was more concerned about the fact that when he was in the palace, he was the only one who could be so close to his father, but now, his position has been taken. .
Unconsciously, he raised his hand to hold the jade pendant on his chest again, to absorb some warmth, and Su Qizhi asked again: "What's the matter for the father to ask the son to come?"
"About the assassin." Su Xuan put down the child in his arms, and walked in front of Su Qizhi.Said: "The assassin who assassinated you that day has been caught by the Criminal Ministry."
"Assassin?" Su Qizhi looked at Su Xuan in surprise. Strictly speaking, the assassin is the person in front of him. How could there be other assassins?
"Fourth brother, it is really the assassin who assassinated you." Su Yuzhi thought that Su Qizhi's expression was excited because he heard the news that the assassin had been arrested, and explained to him aloud: "The Ministry of punishment spent a lot of money It took a lot of strength to capture him in a small county, but unfortunately he refused to plead guilty~~"
"So Father wants me to enter the palace today to identify him?"
"Well, that assassin is very stubborn. Even if the evidence is sufficient, he will not plead guilty. I don't want to be criticized for wronging a good person, so I hope you come and identify him." Su Xuan stared at Su Qizhi and said.There are many criminals who refuse to plead guilty. It is common to extract confessions by torture. Even after torture, they still refuse to convict. There are also many criminals who are beheaded after printing their fingerprints while they are in a coma.Besides, this time the criminal was personally interrogated by His Majesty, even if he did not plead guilty, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks if His Majesty said a word?
But when the criminal dragged his wounds all over his body and still refused to give in and asked the fourth prince to come out to identify him, what flashed through Su Xuan's mind was not to behead him immediately to achieve his goal, but to think that this way , 'he' should enter the palace again.
The imperial decree was passed on immediately, Su Xuan came back to his senses, and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to do so, so he hurriedly found several princes and ministers to accompany him, especially Su Huai In this formation, Su Xuan felt that he would not be disturbed by that lonely ghost.
Returning to Man Xilan Volume 13 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Resolutely Denies
Su Huai was put on the ground, and seeing his father ignore him and ran to another person, he felt very wronged. The temper that was favored by Su Xuan in the past few days also became angry, his mouth pouted, and he yelled childishly Said: "I want to find my father! I want to find my father~~"
Hearing Su Huai's shout, Su Xuan was completely unmoved, and still observed Su Qizhi's expression on his own.
Su Lianzhi pretended not to hear, and stared at the teacup in his hand, as if he was studying the pattern on the teacup. Su Yuzhi snorted loudly, and kicked this little devil several times in his heart. In the arms, people are enviable, but today this brat can only be disgusted.How can such a nasty child be compared with the Fourth Emperor?
Only Su Ruizhi stretched out his hands to Su Huai with a smile, and said, "Su Huai, come here, Brother Huang, and Brother Huang will play with you."
Su Huai jumped into Su Rui's arms, looked at the others with disdain: "You all bully me, let my father punish you."
"Hmph!" Su Yuzhi made a big grimace at him.
Su Xuan ignored the actions of other people, and still stared straight at Su Qizhi's expression, as if he wanted to dig out something from his face. After seeing Su Qizhi's words, he just lowered his head and ignored himself. Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he leaned into Su Qizhi's ear, Su Xuan asked softly, "What do you think of this child Su Huai?"
Su Huai?That kid who appeared out of nowhere to take his place?
Su Qizhi glanced at Su Huai who was joking with Su Ruizhi, and said lightly, "It's pretty good."
"I also think it's very good. I brought him to my side, so I can enjoy the joy of raising a child." Su Xuan's voice became gentler, but his eyes became colder.
"Then congratulations." Su Qizhi lowered his head and said softly.
"How can there be sincerity in the congratulations with the head lowered?" Su Xuan looked at Su Qizhi's indifference, and the anger in his heart soared. Why is this attitude?Shouldn't he arrogantly scold Su Huai away?Shouldn't he run up to him loudly, begging himself not to give up his position to others?How can this person be so indifferent? "You have to look me in the eyes and say, this kind of congratulations counts."
Su Qizhi's body trembled when he heard the words, and he raised his head after a while, looking straight into Su Xuan's eyes, and Su Xuan also looked at Su Qizhi, just like what happened countless times more than ten years ago , The two people only have each other's existence in their eyes.
"Then congratulations father." Su Qizhi said slowly.
"Father? Are you worthy?" I just can't understand his attitude.When it was time to pray, he was still holding on here.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." This sentence was said very quickly, before Su Xuan could answer, Su Qizhi said quickly again: "I wonder when will the criminal be identified?"
Su Xuan glanced at Su Qi coldly, turned around and ordered to the guards: "Bring up the criminal who assassinated the Fourth Prince!"
The guards led away, and after a while, they carried a bloody man into the hall.Throwing the criminal on the ground casually, ignoring the criminal's muffled groans due to the pain, the guard next to him stepped forward to mend his feet.
Su Xuan came to the criminal, raised his embarrassed face with his toes, and asked aloud: "You said that you want the fourth prince to identify you in person, and now the fourth prince is in this hall, this sin I let you recognize Convinced!"
"Fourth Prince~~" The suspect opened his mouth, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, "I was really wronged~~ On the day of His Majesty's birthday, I stayed at home honestly and didn't go out~~"
"Fourth prince," the suspect begged bitterly: "Please be sure to realize that I have no power to restrain a chicken, how could I enter the palace and become an assassin?"
Su Xuan raised his leg and kicked the suspect, walked up to Su Qizhi, and said with a smile: "Qizhi, in front of so many people, tell Father, is this person an assassin?"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, hurry up and recognize the criminal, so that Father can avenge you." Su Yuzhi shouted from his seat.
"Fourth brother, speak quickly, don't disappoint father's kindness." Su Ruizhi also continued.
"This person... is not the assassin from that day." Su Qizhi walked up to the assassin, looked at the assassin's face carefully, and said calmly.
"Qizhi," Su Xuan walked up to Su Qizhi and hugged him into his arms as before, with an indescribably gentle voice: "Father knows that you were frightened by the assassin that day, and your memory is blurred. Go take a good look, is this person the assassin from that day?"
Lie down again in this embrace, very warm, listening to the familiar heartbeat, smelling the familiar fragrance, Su Qizhi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, carefully pushed Su Xuan away, and took a few steps back, He said firmly: "It's not him, the assassin that day was not him!"
"Qizhi won't take a closer look? Don't miss such a big thing!"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, please obey your father and take a closer look." Su Ruizhi also helped to persuade.
"It's not him, no matter how many times I look at it, it won't be him." Su Qizhi said without hesitation.
"Okay, very good!" Su Xuan's face was ashen, but he rushed to the officials present here angrily: "I asked you to investigate carefully, so I found out such a result? Fortunately, Qizhi was present and cleared the wrongdoing of the suspect. , otherwise, I will be accused of being a fool!"
As early as when Su Qizhi denied the suspect, those officials were paralyzed with fright, and when they heard Su Xuan's words, they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Xuan to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me~~~ The clues found by Weichen's subordinates all point to him~~-~"
"Weichen's subordinates spent two months working on the case carefully, and they will definitely not catch the wrong person~~"
"Fourth Prince, otherwise you should take a good look~~`"
Su Qizhi shook his head, retreated to the door, and said to Su Xuan: "Father, after the identification is completed, can I leave?"
Su Xuan looked at Su Qizhi with a smile on his face, just as warm as before, "Father has something to do with Qizhi later."
Su Qizhi nodded and sat down on the chair beside her.
Su Xuan looked at the sweaty officials below, and said casually: "You guys are not effective, after three days, all of you will be dispatched to the frontier."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, the number of words in this chapter is a bit short, and the next chapter will make up for it
happy holidays everyone
Returning Time Man Xilan Volume 14 Shocking Changes Chapter [-] Proud Capital
He ordered people to drag out those officials who yelled and begged for mercy, leaving only Su Xuan and Su Qizhi and their brothers in the room.
Su Yu looked at Su Qizhi with a worried face, and said cautiously, "Fourth Brother, these officials are not doing their job well, Father will definitely send capable officials to find the assassin that day for you..."
Su Qizhi smiled at Su Yuzhi, but said nothing.
Su Xuan looked around at the several princes present, and said: "You guys go down first, it's good for Qi Zhi to stay."
Everyone else stood up silently, saluted and left. Only Su Huai heard that his father wanted to let him go and let the other princes stay. He felt that his status as the most beloved prince had been greatly challenged, and Su Huai jumped out. Holding Su Ruizhi's arms, he ran up to Su Qizhi, raised his face and asked, "Which one are you? Dare to let Emperor Father leave you alone?"
Su Qizhi looked at Su Huai, and before he could speak, Su Yuzhi broke out, grabbed Su Huai by the neck, picked it up like a kitten, and walked away, cursing: "Which one are you, you dare to put on airs in front of him, see if I don't punish you today!"
Su Huai grinned, crying earth-shatteringly, his calf kicked wildly in the air, a few small black footprints were printed on Su Yuzhi's white clothes, Su Yuzhi blushed, and raised his right hand in the air , It’s not a fight, it’s not a fight, it’s hard to ride a tiger.
Farce, the solemn and solemn hall just now has suddenly become a place where farce is staged.
Su Xuan looked at the scene in front of him coldly, his expression became more and more unkind, Su Qizhi lowered his head, as if indifferent, Su Lianzhi nervously looked at Su Yuzhi's raised arms, with a worried look on his face , while Su Ruizhi watched with great interest, thinking that the play was pretty good.
Seeing that the two sons were getting more and more troubled, Su Xuan ignored it and still watched coldly.It's just that as Su Huai cried longer and longer, the air pressure in the room became lower and lower.
Su Huai, who was gradually crying, also felt that something was wrong, and silently changed from crying loudly to soft sobbing, and Su Yuzhi immediately put Su Huai on the ground, and the two stood side by side in the middle of the hall, with their heads bowed, pleading guilty look.
"Have you two had enough trouble?" Su Xuan asked.
"Father~~he provoked the Fourth Brother first~" Su Yuzhi, who was furious just now, could only speak submissively.
"Father, punish him! Slap him!" Su Huai still shouted arrogantly.
"It's against the style of a child of the royal family to make a scene in front of me. Ruizhi, how do you punish such a faux pas?"
"Father, according to the regulations of royal etiquette, each person should go down and copy the etiquette ten times, and half a year's salary will be deducted." Su Ruizhi said respectfully.
"Then let's do it like this." Su Xuan waved his hand, signaling them to retreat quickly, such a fuss is really annoying.
"Father~-" Su Huai said aggrievedly.
"Can't the emperor understand what I'm saying?" Su Xuan looked at Su Huai, and said impatiently, "If you talk too much, you'll drag it down and hit the top ten boards."
This sentence was cold and hard, without mercy, even if he was ignorant of current affairs, Su Huai had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. After the four of them saluted together, they left the room, leaving space for Su Qizhi and Su Xuan.
"Is there anything else?" Su Qizhi asked after the room was completely clean.
Although the farce just now was caused by him, Su Qi was so stunned that he showed no sense of existence at all.
"Can't I chat with you if I don't have other things?" Su Xuan leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, and said, "I happened to think of something and wanted to tell you."
"whats the matter?"
"Something about Liu'er."
Su Qizhi paused for a moment, and then said: "Why did you tell me about her, I'm not... your child."
"It's because you know you're not Liu'er's child that you need to listen."
"But..." I didn't want to hear it.
Su Xuan ignored Su Qizhi's hesitation, and said to himself: "Liu'er, the eldest princess of Qi country, the sister of Emperor Xuan, the real golden branch and jade leaf..."
"Such a woman has the elegance and nobility of a princess, but also has some naive fantasies that are not realistic."
"She actually thought that she and I would stay together and live like this for the rest of our lives."
"Such an idea is really ridiculous."
"As an emperor, you can pamper someone, even like and fall in love with someone, but you must never indulge a person. Especially indulge a person's feelings. Some of Liu'er's thoughts are still very naive."
"I don't know what's the point of your majesty telling me this?" Princess Yeliu's feelings were belittled to such a state, Su Qizhi couldn't help but interrupt Su Xuan's words.
"Hehe," Su Xuan took Su Qizhi's actions as jealousy of Yeliu, and acted because he felt uncomfortable. He felt quite comfortable in his heart, and didn't mind Su Qizhi's rude interruption, and continued: "Yeliu married Half a year after giving it to me, I took in another five concubines for various reasons, and the entry of these five concubines caused a big fight between her and me."
"Smashed the things in the bedroom, and shut the door to me for half a month in a fit of anger." Su Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the situation back then, with a smile on his mouth: "It is estimated that this is what Liu Er grew up to do. One of the most inappropriate things."
"After closing the door to me for half a month, I didn't soften my heart at all, and never took the initiative to look for her again. It took another month like this. When news came that one of the concubines was pregnant, Liu Er found her. I, take the initiative to show favor and ask for peace."
After recalling the past, Su Xuan stared at Su Qizhi's expression and said: "What I want to tell you today is that even if she is as noble as Ye Liu, even if I love Liu'er so much, I will let her bow her head in front of me, because in Qing Kingdom, I am the ruler of everything."
"So," Su Xuan stepped down from the seat, came to Su Qizhi, and asked in a low voice:
