Sui Yingtai's younger sister, Sui Yingqiong, was beautiful in appearance and gentle and generous in her actions. Zang Lu was very satisfied with the candidate for queen recommended by Prince An, and tried his best to help the powerless and powerless Sui Yingqiong to the throne.

When the newlyweds were just married, the emperor and empress were also deeply in love, and the budding flower buds intertwined with the strong and powerful cypresses formed a different kind of beauty.

But after more than half a year, there was no sign of a dragon child being born in the belly of the new empress, and Emperor Su Wu, who was not addicted to women, gradually stopped going to Kunning Palace very much.

Jiaohua first exposed to the dew, and never saw the rain again.

Maybe he felt ashamed, or he didn't want to make trouble anymore, even though the new empress had no sons, Emperor Suwu Zang Lu ignored the courtier's suggestion of abolishing and reestablishing.

Sui Yingqiong has sat firmly in the position of the main lord of the Eastern Palace for nearly ten years.

Seeing his normally handsome, stable and quiet younger brother crying like when he was a child, Zang Lu took his hand and sat down on the imperial concubine's couch, his majestic voice subconsciously softened.

"Okay, at that time you would never have imagined that the two of them would have such rebellious thoughts many years later." Looking around, he didn't see anything like a handkerchief. He helplessly pulled his cuff and wiped it for his sobbing brother. tears.

"How old are you, and you still cry in front of your nephews, don't be ashamed."

He lowered his voice and said lightly, and felt that his appearance of coaxing his younger brother would lose the majesty of the emperor, Zang Lu cleared his throat, his old face slightly embarrassed.

He sat up straight again, raised his airs and said, "You and Feiyuwei will go to investigate the Sui family's affairs next, and you must seize clear evidence."

Glancing at Prince An's crying red nose, he added: "Just make up for it."

The emperor's order is like a mountain, and the golden mouth speaks well, Prince An immediately got up to accept the order: "Your brother obeys the order."

She cried so hard that her nose was a little stuffy, and the words should be vague, with a strong nasal sound.

Zang Lu raised his eyes to Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun who had been standing quietly against the wall, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "You two, together with Prince An, will investigate Sui Yingtai and the Sui family together, and investigate his crimes. The case is clearly announced to the world."

The two of them knew too many royal secrets today, if he followed his previous disposition, they would definitely silence them to avoid future troubles.

But looking at that face similar to Jing Zhong, Zang Lu couldn't help it.

Hey, I am old after all, soft-handed and kind-hearted.

He sighed heavily in his heart.

Forget it, since you don't want to kill them, let them be the knives in your hands to sweep away the obstacles on the way for Min Kuan.

Xiaoruo just wanted to leave the palace with Xiaoxun after handing in the answer sheet of the mercury case, and didn't want to step deeper into this swamp, but the emperor's order was hard to break, and she had no right to say no at all.

"Minnv/Xiaomin follow the order." Both of them took orders together.

After arranging the task, Zang Lu waved his hand wearily and said, "Min Kuan stay here."

Even the Son of Heaven has to obey the law of birth, old age, sickness and death. He has to admit that he is really old. What happened today made him too emotional. At this moment, he just wants to sit with his only son for a while.

After saluting, Prince An, Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun stepped back and left, leaving the empty Zhaoren Hall completely to the most honorable father and son in the world.

Su Henian, who was dutifully guarding the gate of Zhaoren Hall, saw the three of them coming out, saluted Prince An, and looked at Xiaoruo with a smile.

"Congratulations, Miss Xiao and Mr. Gu, will you two go back to the dormitory for a short rest, or go home directly?"

As expected of the powerful eunuch next to the emperor, his observation ability is amazing.Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun didn't mention the mercury case when they came, but Su Henian had already guessed their reason, and could conclude that they had completed the task assigned by the emperor.

He even prepared the carriage in advance, waiting for the two to go home at any time after they came out.

Xiaoruo bowed her knees to express her gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Su, for taking care of me during this time. Now that the matter is over, let's go home directly."

Xiao Xun also bowed his hands and said goodbye to Su Henian.

Prince An, who had been silent since leaving Zhaoren Hall, suddenly interrupted Su Henian who was about to speak.

"Brother Huang ordered you two to handle the case with me, so I should know you two first before I know how to arrange you."

His face was calm at the moment, except for the redness in the corners of his eyes that had not completely receded, there was no trace of crying just now.

"It's better for you two to take this king's carriage, and it happens that this king can also go to your house to find out about the situation."

The aloof prince lightly made the next arrangement for the two of them, Xiao Ruo Liu frowned slightly, feeling displeased.

Zang Lu is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, she can't refuse, but if a prince wants to go to her house, he can still refuse, right?
Xiaoruo folded her hands and lowered her eyebrows, and said modestly: "The folk girl's house is poor and small, and I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain the prince. Why don't we wait a few days, and we will definitely go to Prince An's mansion to meet the prince. It will be more convenient for the prince to ask and understand."

This seemingly gentle and respectful rhetoric, but in fact tactful refusal, did not convince the former prince who grew up amidst intrigues.

He just said indifferently: "I don't need your entertainment. There is a saying that when a leaf falls, you will know the autumn of the world. I just want to go to your house and meet the people around you. I will naturally know what you are like."

Speaking of this, it would be blunt to refuse, Xiao Ruo clenched her fists, scolding Prince An bloody in her heart, but still greeted her with a smile on her face.

Su Henian hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Prince An is willing to send the two of you back. That's great. The miscellaneous family is worried that there will not be enough horses and carriages in the palace recently, and they are afraid that Miss Xiao and Mr. Gu will be neglected."

At this moment, looking at the place where the carriage was parked just now at the entrance of the palace, it was already empty and there was nothing there.

It turned out that Su Henian saw that something was wrong just now, and secretly gestured for the little eunuch to move away.

Now Xiaoruo has no reason to shirk, and can only thank Prince An reluctantly.

The two followed behind him and set foot on the road home.

The coachman of Prince An's Mansion was smart and familiar with all the streets and alleys of Yingzhou. After Xiao Ruo reported the address, he could drive the horse back to Xiao's small courtyard by the most stable and convenient route without giving directions.

The gate of the small courtyard was opened, and Jiang Ping's heroic laughter was heard as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Mr. Zheng is superb at chess, I admire you! Admire me!"

Zheng Dongyang smiled triumphantly: "If Zhaozhao goes with you, you will be killed within five steps!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Ruo smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Not caring about the presence of a prince, she took Xiaoxun's hand and walked into the courtyard, shouting, "Why is Brother Jiang free today?"

Seeing the courtyard full of people, she paused with a smile on her face, and said in surprise, "Zhao Zhao? Why are you at home? Didn't you go to school today?"

I saw that in the small courtyard of Xiao’s house, apart from Jiang Ping and Zheng Dongyang, there were old man Cen, Xiao Niao, Xiao Zhao, Liu Tingyun and a strong man with a strange face. The clothes should be brought by Jiang Ping. Escort bodyguard.

When the big man saw Xiaoxun, his copper bell-like eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, "Brother Axun!"

When Xiaoxun saw this person, he also showed a rare smile, nodded and introduced softly in Xiaoruo's ear: "He is the head of Shunji's bodyguard, his name is Zhuang Yi."

"Sister!" Xiao Niao cheered, jumped up from the small bench, bounced towards Xiao Ruo.

Ever since her eldest sister entered the palace, she has been counting the days on her fingers, saying that one day is like three autumns. After the Chinese New Year, she has not seen her elder sister for 45 autumns, so she is naturally very excited at the moment.

Also excited was Xiao Zhao, who has always been calm, and couldn't help but stand up with a groan, and trot towards Xiao Ruo.

Liu Tingyun was so frightened that he stomped his feet under the eaves: "Zhao Zhao! Slow down! Don't open the wound!"
