There were two knocks on the door, and a response came from the study. Liu Yunzi pushed the door with a tray in her hand and smiled at the person in front of the book desk, "My husband has reduced a lot in the past few days, and my concubine specially boiled soup for you. coming."
"I didn't tell you, just let the next person do this kind of thing, be careful not to get tired again." Han Zhongwen raised his head and embraced her as he walked to his side.
"How can you get tired so easily." Liu Yunzi put down the tray, picked up the bowl and handed it over, "Come on, don't you like the soup I made the most, drink it while it's hot."
Han Zhongwen responded with a smile and took the soup. Liu Yunzi looked at him for a moment, and then moved her eyes to the letters and documents on the case, her expression condensed slightly, Han Zhongwen over there had finished drinking and put down the soup bowl, and seeing her like this, she asked, "What's wrong with Madam?"
"Husband," Liu Yunzi looked at him, "although my concubine knows that she shouldn't talk too much, she still can't help but want to say something."
"Just say it straight, you and I, husband and wife, there is nothing to be afraid of." Han Zhongwen said.
Liu Yunzi said, "Has your husband made up his mind?"
Han Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I have made up my mind long ago, otherwise I would not have reached this point."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yunzi said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that King Xiling is not a credible person. If your husband is like this, the danger is too great."
"If you want to achieve great things, how can the risk be small." Han Zhongwen said, "What's more, the current peace is only an appearance. Although there have been many disasters in the past few years, it is really good compared to the two years. There have been no natural disasters. The death of the King of Huainan is not enough to deter the princes, the Huns in the north are eyeing them, and Loulan has also cut off diplomatic relations with us. Your Majesty is weak and incompetent. In Chang'an City, the Chu party and the Soviet party are still fighting endlessly? In this world, sooner or later If you want to mess up, you can only be a mermaid passively, it is better to choose the most powerful King of Xiling first, once the great cause is created in the future, it will naturally bring infinite scenery."
"If someone hadn't pushed the flames, how could the situation be so bad?" Liu Yunzi showed a trace of unbearable expression, "Don't you really feel ashamed for what your husband has done? Every time I dream back at midnight, my concubine is always afraid that there will be dead souls looking for it. ."
Han Zhongwen shook her hand comfortingly, and couldn't help sighing, "If I say that you are a woman, you will be unhappy, but that's the truth, look around, there are a few people who are pure and innocent. In vain? He Su Shiyu came from an aristocratic family, needless to say, Chu Mingyun has become a hot captain all the way, and his blood can be a little less? The world is so cruel, I am just a player in the game. "
Liu Yunzi lowered her eyes and did not speak again for a while.
Han Zhongwen suddenly stood up, held her in his arms from behind, and sighed, "Madam, I know you are worried about me. But you must know that we are very close to success, just seize the opportunity to get rid of Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu. , the imperial court is collapsed, and the world is almost in our pockets! At that time, we will have everything in glory, wealth, wealth and honor, I can give you and Ziming the best, and I will no longer have to endure cold-eyed ridicule, and I will never be ridiculed by them again. Stomping on your feet hard!"
The hand that was wrapped around her body tightened and trembled involuntarily because of the words, Liu Yunzi raised her hand and put it on his hand, leaned on his shoulder, and smiled slowly and softly, "My concubine asks nothing. Since the husband has made up his mind, No matter what you do, I will accompany you."
After leaving the study door, Liu Yunzi finally showed a worried look, and handed the tray to the maid next to her. She folded her hands and prayed silently to the distant sky. Finally, she sighed and walked to her courtyard. Just before he got close, he saw someone waiting in front of the hospital, and when he saw her, he hurried up to greet her.
Su Bai bowed and said, "Mrs. Han, my son has made a good tea. I think you might be interested, so I came here to invite you to try it."
Liu Yunzi's eyes flashed, Fu Er gave a command to the maid, then smiled and nodded to Su Bai, and followed him to the other courtyard where Su Shiyu lived.
The boiling water in the small stove was a little quiet, the new leaves were like Shen Bi, Liu Yunzi took the tea cup with both hands, and took a sip cautiously, only the fragrance was long and sweet, she felt a little relieved, "It's really good tea, Master Suwen Su. The elegance is outstanding, and it is true, even cooking tea is extremely elegant."
"Thank you for Mrs. Han's approval. It's good to talk." Su Shiyu smiled lightly, and then put a cup in Chu Mingyun's hand before pouring tea for himself.
"My concubine first thanked the lord for your kind invitation," Liu Yunzi put down the cup, "but the lord invited me here, I'm afraid it's not just for tea."
"Madam is smart, I would take the liberty to interrupt today. I really want to ask you something." Su Shiyu said.
Liu Yunzi smiled and said, "My concubine is a female-like generation. She only knows how to care for her husband and teach her children. She doesn't want to be involved in foreign affairs and has no way to participate. She can't answer any questions. My lord is afraid that she has found the wrong person."
"Mrs. Han misunderstood," Chu Mingyun laughed, "I didn't intend to ask you what you want. We were ordered to come here and have the right to thoroughly investigate everything in Huainan. It doesn't matter whether it is a man or a woman, since we have come to you, you can just answer. "
"...Yes." Liu Yunzi said, "Since the lord said so, the concubine will naturally cooperate."
"Don't be nervous, we just want to have a brief understanding." Su Shiyu looked at her and asked, "Mrs. Han, do you know what happened in Shouchun City recently?"
Liu Yunzi shook her head, "I've stayed in the mansion all day, so how can I know what happened in the city. If the adults asked about the previous rebellion, please forgive my concubine's ignorance. I was carrying my son at the time. Visiting relatives at home, I was very worried when I heard the news of the turmoil, and it was not until I received a letter of peace from my husband that I was relieved. The situation in Huainan was dangerous, and he would not let us come back. I was rescued by two adults in distress on the road. The two adults and I entered the city together, and I probably don’t know as much about the things in Shouchun City as you two.”
"Then how do you know that it was a refugee who attacked you that day?" Chu Mingyun said.
Liu Yunzi said flatly, "You can naturally guess from their descriptions and outfits."
Chu Mingyun nodded casually, "Yes, it can be seen that they are refugees from the war. But isn't it strange why people in Shouchun City live and work in peace and contentment, while a large number of refugees are looting pedestrians outside the city?"
Liu Yunzi was slightly stagnant.
"Not a single refugee appeared in the city, instead of begging along the way, they became a group of gangsters, and even the county governor's wife was attacked." Chu Mingyun turned to look at her, "You are so smart, you don't find it strange, Didn't you ask your husband?"
Liu Yunzi smiled and said, "I really don't. I don't think as much as you, my lord. I just think that everything is fine. My husband is already busy, and I don't want to mention it again to distract him."
When she finished speaking, Su Shiyu couldn't help frowning slightly, "Mrs. Han," he said, "I remember that you mentioned being rescued when you first came to Fuzhong to cover up and explain for us. At that time, Mr. Han was not surprised. I think he knew about this. Yes."
Liu Yunzi clenched her sleeves unknowingly, and was suddenly unable to answer.
Chu Mingyun glanced at Su Shiyu, then turned his gaze back to her, and said with a half-smile, "Since you know, why didn't you see what Mr. Han did?" He paused, "You don't know Shouchun City, but You should know your husband, right?"
She remained silent, and she was already forced into a dilemma. No matter how she spoke, Han Zhongwen could not escape the charge of dereliction of duty.
After a long time, Liu Yunzi loosened her tightly clenched sleeves, raised her hand and pressed her chest, with a gentle smile on her face, "My husband is the best person in the world, I have known him since childhood, childhood sweethearts. , married him at the age of fourteen, and he said that he would never let me suffer any grievances. After so many years, he was always worried that I would be tired from running the house. Obviously, I was already a big official, and I saw some gadgets on the road. He has to get out of the car and buy it for me in person, to make me happy, and not afraid of people laughing at him." After a slight pause, she looked up at them and said slowly, "The husband I know is not what the two adults want to know. , I think he is very good, and it may not be recognized by the two adults, not to mention that the political affairs are complicated and each has his own plans, the adults asked me, after all, it was futile."
Without words for a while, Chu Mingyun took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea, and smiled incomprehensibly. Su Shiyu thought for a moment, and was about to speak when a child's voice suddenly came from outside.
The maid walked in with Han Ziming, first bowed to Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, then turned to Liu Yunzi and said, "Madam, the young master clamored to see you after waking up, and the servant had no choice but to bring him here."
As soon as Han Ziming entered the door, he snuggled up to Liu Yunzi's side, rubbing his eyes half asleep, while calling his mother glutinously. Liu Yunzi coaxed twice, and smiled apologetically to Su Shiyu: "Let's stop here today, I won't disturb adults anymore."
"Mrs. Han..."
"Huh? Big brother!" Han Ziming looked over inadvertently, and suddenly became a little more energetic, but after he blurted out, he frowned again, "No... No, mother said it wasn't you..." He stared at Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu shyly After tangled for a while, "... It's just like, isn't it really you?"
Before Liu Yunzi could speak, Chu Mingyun suddenly smiled and said to Han Ziming, "Do you really want to know?"
"Hmm!" Han Ziming nodded.
Chu Mingyun hooked his fingers and lowered his voice as if bewitching, "Come here, I will tell you quietly."
When Han Ziming heard the words and was about to walk over, Liu Yunzi was startled, she hugged the child subconsciously, and blurted out, "Master Chu!" with a vague plea.
Chu Mingyun smiled and said, "I won't eat him again, why are you afraid of this?"
Su Shiyu glanced at him helplessly, and said to Liu Yunzi, "He doesn't mean anything else, Mrs. Han doesn't need to worry about it."
After trying her best to settle down, Liu Yunzi took care of the longevity lock on the neck of the children, but she said to them, "...If the adults have already decided something, then the concubine's body is actually not important."
The fleshy little hand touched her face, and the child looked up at her and blinked blankly, "Mother?"
Liu Yunzi held his hand and smiled softly, "It's okay, let's go back."
"Yeah." He replied obediently, then turned his head and waved to Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu, "Goodbye, big brother!" Liu Yunzi stood up and said goodbye. They didn't stop her and let her take the child away.
The figure disappeared outside the courtyard wall, Chu Mingyun withdrew his gaze, looked at Su Shiyu, who was indifferent, and sighed: "She clearly knows what she doesn't want to say, and she doesn't need any means to ask. You are so kind to the fragrance and jade, it's better to be more pity and pity. I."
The skin is getting thicker. Su Shiyu glanced at him with a smile, and replied warmly, "Okay."
"..." Chu Mingyun said, "I said pity not to ask you to pour me another cup of tea."
"I understand your plan." Su Shiyu put the full cup of tea next to him, "But how Mrs. Han answers is impossible to tell the truth, I mainly want to see her attitude, so that I can guess. Probably."
"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun smiled, "Let's hear it."
Su Shiyu got up and walked to the study, picked up an invitation from the table and handed it to Chu Mingyun who followed up, "Your share should also be delivered to your courtyard. The chief officials of the other two counties in Huainan arrived in Shouchun one after another. You also came back from the military camp, and Master Han has set a banquet for tomorrow night."
Chu Mingyun flipped through it casually, "If you want to come to Han Zhongwen, you won't let us go back easily, so this is a feast for Hongmen?"
Su Shiyu smiled lightly and didn't answer. After a while, he pondered, "I just don't know if Master Liang has anything to do with this."
"Are you still thinking about Liang Jin drugging you?"
"After all, I can't guess his purpose." Su Shiyu said, "Even if he got lucky that night, I will still pursue him after I wake up. This method is really not very clever, and it doesn't benefit him, so his motives become more and more obvious. suspicious."
Chu Mingyun leaned on the book case to think for a while, and suddenly said, "That's right."
"how?"
"I have something for you." Chu Mingyun pulled out a letter from his sleeve, "Master Censor, guess what this is?"
Su Shiyu laughed softly, "Is the confession of the captain?"
"...Almost, but it's not mine." Chu Mingyun handed the letter to him, "Well, now that the evidence is there, do what you want."
After roughly scanning the contents of the letter, the smile in Su Shiyu's eyes gradually faded, "Zhang You?" He said calmly, "I remember he was yours?"
Chu Mingyun smiled without emotion, "Not anymore."
Su Shiyu was silent for a while, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the thin letter for a long time, and seemed to ponder without reading a word. At the end, he spoke lightly, and asked casually: "When dealing with chess pieces that have lost their value, you always Are they all so heartless?"
Seemingly inexplicable, Chu Mingyun tilted his head and said indifferently, "Why not?"
Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and smiled, and said lightly, "It's nothing." He was about to put away the letter, but Chu Mingyun grabbed his wrist.
Chu Mingyun looked at him and said slowly, "This is not for nothing, just kiss me."
Rarely did not make a sound, Su Shiyu looked at him seriously for a while, then leaned in and kissed him. Chu Mingyun didn't expect him to cooperate like this, so he was stunned for a moment, then he took the person into his arms and hugged him tightly, deepening the kiss.
His hand holding the letter dangled beside him, tightening involuntarily where no one could see it, the paper wrinkled slightly and made a soft sound.
