Su Fengnuan's thoughts moved when she heard the words, she looked at Wang Lu, and thought that what grandpa said to ask Xu Yunchu for help was indeed a good way.
His investigation involved the Lin family, looking for Lin Zhixiao, checking the Lin family, and checking Lin Zhixiao, so he had to deal with Xu Yunchu. Keep Lin Zhixiao from making trouble for her.
As long as Xu Yunchu restrained him, then she would naturally be able to free herself to do what the emperor asked her to do, and she would also be able to avoid him.
But she felt that for Xu Yunchu, what she had done since she met him was too much. Especially after concealing his identity and dealing with him for so long and then being smashed by him in front of the emperor, he kept talking about his marriage with Ye Chang, embarrassing him, who was once the empress dowager who wanted to marry her. Now I have to take the initiative to find him again, it is really shameless...
Wang Lu saw that Su Fengnuan didn't speak for a long time, and the anger towards Lin Zhixiao disappeared on his face, which kept changing until only a depressed expression remained on his face. He raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? Didn't you already know Uncle Xiaoguo? In the case of Lingshan, you handed over all the files and evidence you searched to him, which saved him a lot of trouble, and he owes you a favor. Now you are not out of the box when you ask him for a favor."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, and found that he couldn't explain to Wang Lu all the things he and Xu Yunchu had known so far. At that time, the criminal evidence in the files and her concealment of identity and the fact that he rescued Su Qing were going to be written off. Now in the end, if you go to him again, you will owe him another favor.
Although he felt that if she went to him, Xu Yunchu's character would definitely help her out, not to mention that she was also within the scope of his investigation, but he still found it difficult to speak out because of the headache.
"There is another way to avoid Lin Zhixiao and let you do what the emperor told you." Wang Lu said again.
"What way?" Su Fengnuan's eyes lit up.
Wang Lu looked at her and said, "This kind of method is as good as it is not." After finishing speaking, he said, "The royal families of all ages have secret passages leading outside the city. There is also such a secret passage in the imperial palace today."
Su Fengnuan's eyes lit up again when he heard the words, "As long as there is a secret way, I can break it."
Wang Lu shook his head, "Do you know what the Lin family relied on to establish themselves in the first place? It was just a family in the rivers and lakes, but it also experienced the change of emperors in the Southern Qi Dynasty. It has not fallen for many generations. Why?"
Su Feng said warmly, "I know, the secret roads of the imperial palace were also repaired and built by the Lin family."
"That's right." Wang Lu nodded, "but that's just one of them. The real reason is that when the Taizu abolished the old site of the previous dynasty and built the imperial palace, he summoned three of the most talented members of the Lin family to enter the imperial palace to build underground secret passages. The three were not allowed to see outsiders and were guarded all day long. It took three years to build the secret road. But when the secret road was completed and handed over to Taizu's topographical map, the queen mother gave the three people two roads, one road was In order to keep the Lin family prosperous forever, the three of them drank poisonous wine. The Taizu promised that the Lin family would be safe and prosperous for one day in Nanqi. The other way is that the three can live, but they will be imprisoned The forbidden area of the royal family, even the Lin family can't see it."
Su Fengnuan nodded. It is conceivable that the secret passages of the imperial palaces of all dynasties were used to escape in times of crisis. Since Taizu asked the Lin family to build secret passages, naturally the three of them would not let the Lin family leak the topographic map of the secret passages. Either a lifetime of imprisonment, or death. There are only two paths.
Wang Lu continued, "After the three members of the Lin family discussed, they chose poisoned wine. The Taizu buried the three of them generously, and he supported the Lin family as he said. After his death, the Taizu confessed that as long as the Lin family does not commit treason, all generations will The descendants are not allowed to touch the Lin family."
Su Fengnuan suddenly said, "It's no wonder that the Lin family is so ostentatious, no wonder Lin Zhixiao didn't care about the reputation of the emperor and the empress dowager when he proposed marriage to me. Because he knew that even if the emperor and the empress dowager knew that he was so ostentatious, they wouldn't blame him. I will not blame the Lin family."
Wang Lu nodded, "There are quite a few people in Beijing who know about this matter. For many generations, the Lin family has been quite peaceful and has not done anything out of the ordinary. It is not too public in Jianghu, and has been involved with many people in the court. , but he has always restrained himself. This generation of Lin Zhixiao can be regarded as a publicity man who surpassed his ancestors. As soon as he entered Beijing, he asked you to marry him, causing a lot of trouble."
Su Fengnuan's face was gloomy when he heard the words, "The secret passage of the imperial palace has been passed down from the Taizu. It seems that there is no danger, right? In other words, it has never been opened. I want to find the secret passage by myself, and I may not be able to quickly If you find it, it will definitely waste time. You can only ask the emperor, but this is not enough. Although the emperor trusts the Su family and entrusts me with the secret construction of crossbows, it does not include telling me the secret way to escape from the palace. This is the emperor. If the barrier that feels safe is gone, I would probably be restless day and night."
"That's right." Wang Lu nodded, "So, as I said just now, this method is as good as it is not."
Su Fengnuan sighed, "Could it be that I can only go to Xu Yunchu?"
Wang Lu said, "What are you afraid of looking for him? After all, the secret crossbow is tight, and there is no delay. The Lin family will not be able to leave the capital for a while, and maybe they will live in the capital in the future. Can you f***ing avoid Lin Zhixiao like today? What's the matter?" Can't do it either?"
Su Fengnuan gritted her teeth and stood up, "I'll go find Xu Yunchu."
Wang Lu waved her hand, "It's easy to find him, you don't have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion by yourself, lest you cause gossip in the middle of the night, I asked the housekeeper to invite him to the Palace in my name."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Then thank you, Grandpa."
Wang Lu gave an order to the outside world, and the steward got the order, and hurriedly went to the prime minister's mansion in person.
Su Fengnuan came out of the study, looked at the dark sky, let out a breath of foul air, and went to Baoxia hall which was the closest to the study.
She held the lamp in her hand, sat at the table, drank tea and waited for Xu Yunchu for half an hour. At the invitation of the butler, he came to Wang Dashi's mansion.
After the butler informed Wang Lu, he directly invited Xu Yunchu to the Baoxia Hall where Su Fengnuan was.
Xu Yunchu stepped into the threshold and saw Su Fengnuan sitting in front of the window, holding a teacup in his hand, relaxed and relaxed. It seems that no matter when I see her, she is always so leisurely and casual, even when her eyes are smiling, there is a touch of coolness in her eyes.
He suddenly thought, what kind of expression did she have when she killed Concubine Yue? I don't know what kind of expression she had when facing Ye Chang.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, stood at the door, and looked at her.
Su Fengnuan was thinking about how to tell Xu Yunchu euphemistically why she invited him here, but after thinking about it, she became indifferent. Thinking about it, it's better to say it directly, anyway, the matter of Lin Zhixiao asking to marry her is no longer a secret, if Xu Yunchu inquires about the entanglement, he can know something about it. Moreover, she has known him for so long, and has been around for a long time. Now that her identity has been exposed, she has almost completed the detour. If she continues to detour, she herself feels that it is too much.
You can't be too dishonest.
Thinking about it this way, Su Fengnuan looked at Xu Yunchu with a smile when he saw Xu Yunchu stepping into the threshold, "What is Uncle Xiao Guo doing standing there? Please come in, it's not my grandfather who invited you, but I have something to look for you."
Xu Yunchu came against the night, his face and body were stained with a bit of coolness, he stood at the door for a moment, his face softened slightly, and he also showed a smile, walked to the table, and sat opposite Su Fengnuan , laughed, "I don't know if Miss Su has something to do with me, or Miss Su has something to do with me?"
Su Fengnuan chuckled, poured him a cup of tea, pushed it in front of him, and said, "The left and right are just one person, what's the difference?"
Xu Yunchu said slowly, "In my opinion, there are some differences."
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows, "Oh?"
Xu Yunchu gently touched the teacup with his slender fingers, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, Miss Su is the Miss Su I met in the forest behind Lingyun Temple. He told me that the children of the world don't care about trivial matters. Miss Su It’s the lady from General Su’s mansion, the lady who sits in this Wang Dashi’s mansion and is dressed in beautiful silk, and she said that she was married to Ye Shizi in front of the emperor, which made me quite embarrassed.”
Su Fengnuan coughed suddenly when she heard the words, she didn't expect Xu Yunchu to say embarrassing words so bluntly, she was speechless for a while.
Seeing her coughing, Xu Yunchu started to refill her half-drinked tea, and said with a smile, "Why is the girl coughing? Did it catch the wind and cold from the rain two days ago?"
Su Fengnuan's forehead twitched twice, thinking that Xu Yunchu was definitely taking revenge on her. She suppressed her cough, picked up the teacup, put it to her lips and took a sip, then shook her head and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, your verbal skills are good!"
Xu Yunchu put down the teapot and said with a smile, "I learned from you."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a moment.
Xu Yunchu looked at her, saw that the previous light and indifferent color on her face had faded, and finally added some other colors, then smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "You haven't answered my question just now?" Ask."
Su Fengnuan deeply felt that begging for help was really at a disadvantage. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, and said, "Since I am sitting in the Baosha hall of this palace, I would like to ask my grandfather to invite you here. identity." After finishing the sentence, she said bluntly, "I invite Uncle Xiao Guo to come today, and I want you to do me a favor."
Xu Yunchu slightly raised his eyebrows, "Does Miss Su still need to ask someone in Beijing?"
Su Fengnuan said affirmatively, "Naturally it is necessary." After a pause, she said, "Besides you, no one can help me right now."
Xu Yunchu laughed, "Oh? Then you might as well tell me, let me hear what kind of help you need from me."
Su Fengnuan said to him, "This matter is not difficult for you, but it is not easy." After finishing speaking, she said, "If you investigate the two old cases, you will always involve the Lin family, right? I used the excuse of thoroughly investigating the case to restrain Lin Zhixiao so that he could not stare at me all the time."
"Lin Zhixiao?" Xu Yunchu frowned slightly, then suddenly realized, and smiled, "It turns out that the girl thinks that the second son of Lin is too tight to make you inconvenient, so she wants to use my hand and my knife to kill for you. Is it?" After saying that, he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "You are really merciless when you use people. Even such romantic matters, do you also despise trouble and let others do it for you?"
