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

On the way back from the border, Fu Yubai had a cold look on his face and had a murderous aura that made people afraid to approach him.

Ruochun stepped forward and handed the letter he just received to Fu Yubai's hands.

"Third Master, a letter from home in Beijing."

Fu Yubai heard this and took it. After reading it immediately, Fu Yubai laughed.

"Third Master?"

Ruochun didn't know what happened, but seeing the appearance of Third Master, Ruochun also understood that something might have happened in the capital.

Fu Yubai put away the letter.

"speed up."

"Yes!"

Ruo Chun nodded hurriedly, then turned around and informed the front. The army had obviously speeded up a lot.

Fu Yubai looked in the direction of the capital, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyebrows.

The emperor wants to use this to plot against himself?

Then we have to see if he has this ability!

The letter was sent by Su Jiao. In the letter, she also explained the current situation in the capital. The people were singing about the heroic deeds of Duke Dingguo, and the emperor also took action against her.

Fu Yubai thought about Su Jiao's appearance as if she didn't take anything seriously, and felt worried in his heart.

That woman has always had a perverse personality.

It would be fine if they were friends, but if someone was really hostile to her, Su Jiao would not tolerate it. Even if that person was an emperor, Su Jiao would not grovel and do things against her will in order to survive.

The situation in the capital is very tense now. Fu Yubai must go back as soon as possible, otherwise Li Yanji may become crazy.

But there was a chase on the way there, and various things happened on the way back, which seriously delayed their progress.

Fu Yubai couldn't bear it any longer and made a risky decision.

On this day, someone from Duke Dingguo's mansion sent another invitation.

The old lady originally planned to keep it and not tell Su Jiao, but she was stopped by Grandma Rongyang.

"Old Madam, this matter... I think it is best to inform Miss Su."

Aunt Rongyang looked at the old lady with serious eyes.

The old lady paused, and after a while, the old lady could only sigh helplessly.

"Rong Yang, I'm afraid that she is in danger. I'm afraid that I can't take care of her and Jin Shu will be sad when she comes back."

The old lady also has her own thoughts.

Now it was obvious that the emperor wanted to plot against the entire Dingguo Palace. Seeing Jin Shu's triumphant return, he could no longer hide his dark thoughts. While he wanted to suppress and annex the Dingguo Palace, he even wanted to let Su Jiaoji holds it in her hand as a bargaining chip.

How could the old lady make the emperor's wish come true?

And this time the invitation...

"Do they think I don't know that everyone in the Shilang's group is his? This time, it was the Shilang of Hube's house who sent a message. It was obvious that they wanted to trick Jiaojiao out, so that it would be easier for them to do tricks. "

The old lady knew all this clearly in her heart.

This was the reason why the old lady withheld the invitation and didn't want Su Jiao to go.

How could Grandma Rongyang not know?

But Grandma Rongyang also knows that Miss Su is not a person without ideas. Since the current situation has reached this point, Miss Su Jiao must have her own way.

The old lady is indeed protecting Miss Su, but if Miss Su doesn't touch her, she won't be able to help the Third Master in the future.

"Old Madam, I know what you are thinking, but even so, I still hope that Old Madam can listen to Miss Su's opinion."

Seeing Grandma Rongyang's persistence, the old lady paused and finally nodded. "Then go and ask her to come over."

"Yes."

When Su Jiao came over, she had already learned what happened from Grandma Rongyang. In fact, from Su Jiao's point of view, Su Jiao did not think there would be any danger. Even if it was a trap, Su Jiao was not afraid. .

If they are always timid, people will only think that they are easy to bully, which is even more detrimental to them.

So when she met the old lady, Su Jiao was blunt and expressed her thoughts directly.

The old lady paused.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you really think so? But you have to understand that this current situation is not a good thing for you."

Of course Su Jiao knew.

But it was precisely because of this that Su Jiao wanted to take action.

Thinking of this, Su Jiao's lips curved into a smile.

"Old lady, don't you think this will be a good opportunity for us?"

The old lady couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, as if she didn't understand what these words meant.

"good chance?"

The Duke of Dingguo's palace is surrounded by enemies, so why is this a good opportunity?

Su Jiao looked absolutely sure.

"Because only in this way can we know which one is a human and which one is a ghost."

The old lady frowned.

She admitted that Su Jiao was right, but there was no doubt that all the ministers in the court were the emperor's servants, so there was no need to investigate or not, right?

The old lady's idea was very simple. She just didn't want to see anything go wrong with Su Jiao.

So the old lady didn't speak.

Obviously the old lady disagreed.

Su Jiao also knew that the old lady was doing this for her own good.

She sighed and walked to the old lady.

"Old madam, I know you are doing it for my own good, but...if our Duke Dingguo's residence remains closed and never sees guests, what will others think of our Duke Dingguo's residence??"

"The Third Master will be back soon. We can't wait for the Third Master to come back and clean up this mess, right?"

When Fu Yubai was mentioned, the old lady looked slightly moved.

She frowned and looked at Su Jiao.

"Jiaojiao, I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you don't want others to underestimate the Dingguo Palace, but... but your safety is the most important thing in my opinion."

Although what Su Jiao said just now was really reasonable, the old lady was still worried that something unexpected would happen to Su Jiao.

This is not a trivial matter. If they really succeeded and something happened to Su Jiao, how would the old lady explain to Fu Yubai?

Her son has been a cold-hearted person since he was a child, and now it is not easy for such a person to appear and warm her up. Naturally, the old lady does not want to see a broken scene.

"No, old lady, I can promise you that nothing will happen to me. Does this make you feel at ease?"

Seeing Su Jiao's serious look, the old lady was unable to defeat Su Jiao in the end and agreed to let her attend the banquet held by the Minister of Household Affairs.

But before that, the old lady had to make some plans. She would never allow Su Jiao to be bullied by anyone!

This old lady who has no interest in world affairs also used her own connections. (End of chapter)
