Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

After Liu Jinsong finished saying this, he stopped talking about anything else.

The housekeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions.

In response to the great achievements of Duke Dingguo in the court, the loyal ministers also began to put pressure on the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be nicer to Duke Dingguo. This undoubtedly offended the emperor's majesty and anger, and he became very angry. The fire, but in the end, there was still no way to suppress it.

"Damn it!"

Li Yanji, who returned to the Imperial Study Room, tore off the disguise and looked extremely irritable, clenching his fists angrily.

He still couldn't figure out why things ended up like this!

Obviously Fu Yubai hasn't returned to Beijing yet, he can plan everything to catch Fu Yubai off guard!

But now it is obvious that the person who was caught off guard was himself!

"What's going on with the secret guard?"

Gao Zhengde bowed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Su Jiao has not left the Dingguo Palace every day, so the secret guard has no chance."

"No chance?"

The emperor was very dissatisfied with this result.

"If you can't catch him, wouldn't it be easy to just kill him?"

If he catches Su Jiao, it can be a bargaining chip to restrain Fu Yubai, but if he fails to catch it, then Li Yanji can let Su Jiao die!

Gao Zhengde smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, there is someone secretly protecting the Duke of Dingguo. The secret guards have been blocked after several waves of attacks. There is nothing we can do."

I thought this would be a very simple thing, but who would have thought that in the end, I would find that this is the most difficult thing.

Gao Zhengde did not obey His Majesty's orders, and he felt a little panicked. After all, Gao Zhengde knew how violent and ruthless this person was!

Sure enough, after listening to Gao Zhengde's words, the anger in Li Yanji's eyes became even deeper, and he glanced at Gao Zhengde with cold eyes.

"Can't you do such a small thing well?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Gao Zhengde hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Li Yanji took a deep breath.

In fact, he also knows that the current situation has become like this. If it is really considered in a strict sense, then no one knows what will happen. At least there is no way to change this matter at this time.

Su Jiao...

Li Yanji smiled coldly.

"I still don't believe it, but she is just a woman, and she really has the ability to hide from me!"

Su Jiao was well protected by the secret guards.

Even the courtyard where she slept was protected by hidden guards.

When Su Wu came over, Su Jiao had just sent the letter away.

She raised an eyebrow when she saw her brother.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be practicing martial arts at the moment?"

After the children were brought back to Duke Dingguo's mansion, they never fell behind in their studies. Su Wu and Fu Ziyu were trained by martial arts masters together. Every day, the two children looked like puppies about to expire. Sometimes they let It makes people feel inexplicably distressed and funny when they look at it.

Su Wu shook his head.

As if he had grown up overnight, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to his sister.

"Daddy's letter."

"Daddy?"

Su Jiao was surprised for a moment, then seemed to think of something and hurriedly opened the letter.

After reading it, Su Jiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Sister, is daddy in danger?"

Su Wu was a little worried.

The recent situation in Duke Dingguo's mansion seems to be very tense. Su Wu and Fu Ziyu also discussed it during class, but they are children after all and do not know much about it.

But Su Wu knew that something big must have happened.

For this reason, Su Wu was very anxious. Su Jiao glanced at her brother, then shook her head.

"Daddy is fine, but... daddy is gone."

"what?"

Su Wu was stunned, and even didn't understand what his sister meant.

What does it mean that daddy is gone?

Where can daddy go?

To be honest, Su Jiao was also stunned by what her father did.

His father is a pig butcher, where can he go?

But the father also said in the letter that there was a lot of news in the capital. In order not to hinder his children, he would hide for a while and not let them find him. He would leave for a while and come back when the situation is peaceful.

Su Jiao was really stunned by this operation.

and……

"Awu, do you know what dad did for a living before he was a pig butcher?"

Su Wu shook his head like a fool.

"do not know……"

How did Su Wu know this?

He is only twelve years old this year, and his father still loves him, so even the twelve-year-old Su Wu doesn't understand these things at all.

This brat is as simple as a blank sheet of paper and has no understanding of the intrigues and calculations.

Su Jiao saw her brother's appearance and knew that asking these questions at this time was really embarrassing her.

Su Jiao sighed helplessly.

Things are a little out of control.

It seemed that everything was going in a direction unknown to all of them.

As for her father's identity, Su Jiao felt at this moment that he was not just a pig butcher.

After all, a pig butcher would not have such a sensitive sense of danger.

After taking a look at her silly brother, Su Jiao had no intention of telling Su Wu all this.

Just let this brat be a carefree person. Telling him these things will only increase the burden on himself, and it will have no other effect.

But Su Wu is not a fool.

He saw the worry in Sister A's eyes, and the cryptic way she looked at him.

Su Wu smiled bitterly.

"Sister, is there anything you can't tell me now?"

Su Jiao paused.

I never thought that this stupid brother could be so smart, or even that this child could detect all of this.

But in the end, Su Jiao raised her hand and gently rubbed Su Wu's head.

"It's okay, there are some things that Sister can handle."

Su Wu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he held back and nodded.

"Then... that's fine."

In fact, Su Jiao really wanted to ask her sister where her father had gone, but her look on her face had already made it clear that she would not tell him. In this case, Su Wu would not ask.

He didn't want to burden his sister.

Sister is in danger now, even someone as slow as Su Wu can know, so Su Wu will not bother Sister on this matter anymore.

Su Jiao couldn't help but sigh when she saw Su Wu like this.

If possible, Su Jiao actually didn't want them to grow up quickly. It would be best for children to have a carefree childhood.

But Duke Dingguo couldn't.

The precarious Dingguo Palace cannot give them a carefree childhood, nor can it allow them to continue to be ignorant.

Even Su Wu, now that he has boarded this ship, cannot be as timid as before.
