The two chatted for another half an hour, chatting about things in Beijing.
We talked about Xu Lingyi, then we talked about Shen Zhilan, and we talked about other girls in Beijing that Su Fengnuan didn't know, and finally, Sun Qingxue asked casually, "Mr. Su has been in the East for a few months now?" ? Can you tell me when you will come back?"
Su Fengnuan blinked her eyes, looked at Sun Qingxue, her face was calm, she couldn't see if she said this deliberately, she smiled and said, "It's just good that he doesn't come back, lest I can't beat him now and be bullied by him."
Sun Qingxue covered her mouth and smiled, "In my opinion, Third Young Master Su is very well-behaved. He is not used to bullying, but he is always bullied by you, a younger sister, right?"
Su Fengnuan looked at Sun Qingxue speechlessly, "Sister Sun knows my third brother very well."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Sun Qingxue's face, and she said, "It was father who mentioned it yesterday that Mr. Su had gone to the Eastern Realm for several months, and his elder brother had also gone for more than a month. It was really quiet around him after they left. "
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "Yes, when I first returned to Beijing last year, for a long time, my brother always went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to disturb the Prime Minister."
Sun Qingxue said, "Young Master Su is studious and has both civil and military skills. My father thinks highly of him. It is said that his literary skills are inherited from Mr. Wang, and his martial skills are inherited from General Su. It is really rare in Southern Qi that there are young talents with both civil and military skills."
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "Last year, every time the queen mother and queen met me, they would praise me about my third brother, but I didn't find anything good about him. Now I hear you say that the prime minister also praised him. Is it just my eyesight? An invisible advantage?"
Sun Qingxue was startled for a moment, then covered her handkerchief and laughed, "Sister Su said that it's not good for the third son to have no merits, but if anyone robs you of elder brother, you will definitely not forgive him."
Su Fengnuan was overjoyed, "Sister Sun's words are true, no matter how broken my brother is, it's still mine."
Sun Qingxue smiled and said, "If the third son heard this, he should be happy. According to my brother, he often complained to him that he couldn't beat you and was always bullied by you, saying that you, a stinky girl, don't see him as the third brother." .”
Su Fengnuan was overjoyed, "Is my third brother a gossip? I also complained to Mr. Sun. In Mr. Sun's eyes, I'm afraid it's fortunate that there is no sister like me, but such a good, sensible and obedient sister like you."
Sun Qingxue smiled and whispered, "My brother saw you earlier and was amazed by your sword dance. My mother and I also thought you were good. After we made peace, we got some thoughts, but we were beaten back by Ye Shizi." After finishing the words, she said, "It can be seen that men don't like obedient and well-behaved people, but like you who are flamboyant and live freely. Even gentle gentlemen like my brother and uncle Xiaoguo are no exception."
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "Some people like people, and some people don't like them. There are many men in the world, but there are always a few who are blind."
Sun Qingxue was very happy, "Sister, I have convinced you, and even Ye Shizi brought them in to scold him. If they are blind, how many people are not blind in the world? You are really..." After saying that, she shook her head. Shaking his head, he said with a smile, "If they heard it, I guess..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the butler came hurriedly outside and said, "Girl, Princess Shuya is here."
Sun Qingxue stopped talking.
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "It's very lively today. She didn't go to the Su Mansion to enjoy the flowers today. How did she find Prince Rong An's Mansion now? Do you want me to accompany her to the Su Mansion to enjoy the flowers?" , said to the housekeeper, "Please come in."
The butler should be, and went immediately.
Sun Qingxue smiled and said, "In the past, Princess Shuya was infatuated with Uncle Xiaoguo, but now she sees it, and is commensurate with Uncle Xiaoguo's cousins. The Queen Mother and Empress are very pleased. The Emperor, the father-in-law, and Uncle Xiaoguo all look at her differently. From Miss Xu, Princess Shuya is rare."
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded, "That's right, people are more pleasing to look at than before." After finishing speaking, she said, "Sister Sun sit down first, I'll go out to meet her."
Sun Qingxue stood up and said, "Let me go with my sister, Princess Shuya is a princess after all."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The two left the living room and walked out while talking.
Princess Shuya was led halfway by the butler, when she saw Su Fengnuan and Sun Qingxue coming out from inside, she walked a few steps quickly, and came to the two of them, and said hurriedly, "Su Fengnuan, father asked me Let me tell you that Third Young Master Su has disappeared in the Eastern Realm."
Su Fengnuan was startled.
Sun Qingxue's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately asked, "Master Su is missing? How could it be? Isn't he the imperial envoy? He has been in the Eastern Region for a few months and everything is fine. Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Shuya took a look at Sun Qingxue and said, "It's just missing. I happened to be at my father's place. Xiao Quanzi was sent by my father on an errand. Father received a report of guilt from the King of Xiang County in the East. The father arrested me and asked me to tell you immediately."
"The report of the king of Xiangjun in the eastern border?" Su Fengnuan's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this, "Where is the report?"
"Here." Shuya immediately took out the report from her sleeve and handed it to Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan reached out to take it, opened the report, took a look, and found that it was indeed the report of the King of Xiangjun in the Eastern Realm, and it was written in his own hand, with his seal of the king on it. It was written above that Su Qing disappeared seven days ago and his whereabouts are unknown. He remembered that Su Qing was an imperial envoy, so he dared not hide it and report it, so he hereby pleads guilty to the emperor.
If it is urgent to travel 800 miles, it will take four days from the east to the capital, which means that Su Qing has been missing for eleven days.
Was he really missing, or was he imprisoned and punished by the king of Xiangjun when he discovered his purpose of going to the east
Su Fengnuan was not sure.
She asked Princess Shuya, "Where's Ye Chang? Didn't he enter the palace? When you came, he wasn't there?"
Shuya said, "Cousin has entered the palace, but he left the palace not long after he left. Not long after he left, the royal father received the report. After reading it, he ordered me to send it to you quickly."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and said to Princess Shuya, "Go back and report to the emperor, just say that I know about this matter, I will stay for a while to report, and when Ye Chang comes back, give advice, and then send it back to the emperor."
Shuya nodded, "Okay."
Because she wanted to return to the palace to revive the order, Princess Shuya didn't stay much longer, so she left the Rong An Palace and returned to the palace.
Su Fengnuan stood where he was, wondering if something really happened to his third brother. If he disappeared before the eleventh day, the two senior brothers Xiao Han and Xie Xuan hadn't set off for the East Territory at that time.
Sun Qingxue did not leave, but looked at Su Fengnuan, and asked nervously, "What happened to the third son?"
Su Fengnuan calmed down, and said to Sun Qingxue, "My third brother is born to play. He has been in the East for a few months, and nothing happened. Maybe he encountered something interesting now. My son, I was playful for a while, and got stuck."
Sun Qingxue said, "Master Su doesn't seem like a playful person."
Su Fengnuan said, "He, he doesn't dare to make trouble in front of my grandfather, the prime minister, and you. In fact, he is as playful as I am."
Sun Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said, "It would be great if this is the case. I heard from my brother that the third son went to the east to visit the King of Xiangjun. This trip is far away from Guanshan, and the east is not as safe as we imagined. It's also dangerous."
Su Fengnuan said, "He just went to visit the King of Xiangjun, and the news he sent back was that he got along well with the King of Xiangjun, so there shouldn't be anything wrong."
Sun Qingxue nodded, "As long as the third son is fine, I hope to have good news about him as soon as possible."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The two were talking when Ye Chang came back from the outside and heard footsteps, the two looked up and saw that it was Ye Chang, Sun Qingxue said, "Sister Su, Ye Shizi is back, I will talk to you another day , go back to the house first."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and said with a smile, "I'll chat with Sister Sun some other day." After saying that, she said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Fu, please send Sister Sun out."
The housekeeper quickly responded.
Ye Chang approached, Sun Qingxue met Ye Chang, said a word, Ye Chang nodded and smiled, and Sun Qingxue left the Rong'an Palace.
Su Fengnuan watched Sun Qingxue leave, looked at Ye Chang, and silently handed him the report of King Xiangjun.
Ye Chang took it with his hand, glanced at it, and said, "This is undoubtedly the report of the king of Xiangjun. Over the years, he has written several reports to the imperial court every year. I have read them in the emperor's imperial study."
Su Fengnuan said, "Do you think something will happen to my third brother?"
Ye Chang said, "It's hard to say."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan looked at him.
Ye Chang said, "A few days ago, the Qingwu Guard reported that Mr. Feng from the Fengyang Bodyguard Bureau went to the East Territory, and the Fengyang Bodyguard Bureau then escorted the weapons to the East Territory. I felt that something must happen."
Su Fengnuan said, "This matter is indeed no small matter."
Ye Chang said, "However, I don't think it's because the King of Xiangjun discovered his purpose of going to the east and detained him for punishment. The king of Xiangjun didn't turn his back on the court for a day, and he didn't dare to do such things for a day. Especially Lian Lian is also in the east with people, so he will naturally take care of him. You have been friends with Fengyang for many years, no matter what his grandfather does, he should not make himself unjust to deal with your third brother. Maybe he is spying What happened to the news, what happened behind the scenes, so I just played and disappeared."
Su Fengnuan said, "I hope it's this guess, otherwise it will be troublesome. You and I are investigating the secret road case in the capital, and we can't get away. Even if we can get away, if we save him, the far water can't save the near fire. "
Ye Chang stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, your third brother almost stepped into the gate of hell in Qiufeng Mountain, and he learned a lesson later. Especially in places like the Eastern Realm, he is naturally very careful and dare not move."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
