In the blink of an eye, gossip and gossip flew all over the capital.
Of the three officials managing the flood, one of them was going to marry a Fourth Miss from the Prime Minister's house while the other was going to marry a famous hero from the martial arts world.
The wedding date was set for the next day.
Today, there was no snow in the capital. The wind blew, creating ripples at the bottom of the lake.
Su Jinruo was in his study, holding a book in his hands.
Upon closer inspection, that book was actually a famous martial art in the ancient history of the capital.
Lv Ruo waited at the side in a silent chamber. No one spoke, and no one said anything …
After a long while, the corner of Lv Ruo's lips slightly opened and closed:
"Young master, I really can't. I have to stay by your side until the dust settled."
With the sound of gently flipping a page, Su Jinruo's gaze landed on the book, not leaving the slightest bit.
Gloomy eyes, Lv Ruo said softly:
"In the next day, if this servant can't wait for Young Noble, this servant will return to the residence of the Prime Minister. If the Young Noble orders first and someone blocks me, this servant will look for Mother and Hong Ling and reunite …"
Seeing that there was no change in Su Jinruo's expression, Lv Ruo decided to keep her after dying.
After the wooden door gently closed and the room once again became quiet, Su Jinruo's eyelashes trembled as she slowly put down the book in her hands.
How could she not know of her plans and the risks involved …
Once the day after tomorrow passed, Prime Minister Su would definitely die, only …
Whether or not this would affect her would depend on whether or not …
Su Jinruo looked out of the window. The early winter sunlight of the capital was extremely pleasant, but there was nothing he could do …
It was destined to be dyed a fiery red.
There was a person dressed in a black robe that was bright red, and his eyes were filled with a ruthlessness that no one dared to look straight at. He looked coldly at the youth in front of him, and spoke with an overweeningly arrogant tone.
"You want to negotiate conditions with this king. Have you ever thought about whether you are qualified or not?"
Su Jinruo slightly smiled, and did not directly respond to his words.
"The situation in the capital, before we had returned, had already changed. Above the imperial court and deep within the palace, all sorts of people were eyeing that supreme throne covetously. There is no need for this official to say anything; I believe that the prince has already guessed some things. In the entire Ranqi, Prime Minister Su was a figure that everyone praised and praised. He was considered the reincarnation of a god, if he was willing to raise troops, with just the power of the prince, he could … But who? "
Currently, the people of the Jun Family had long been unsettled. If Shen Hancheng insisted on not cooperating with her, they would clearly know in their hearts who was at a disadvantage …
Shen Hancheng did not reply. Su Jinruo did not care about his surroundings, and continued to speak with a cold tone:
"Now, this official has earned the trust of the Prime Minister Su. Although he only truly informed this official of his battle plan on the day of his wedding, this does not hinder him from doing so. This official will cooperate with the prince, and if the prince is willing, this humble official can make an oath with the prince: On this official's day of celebration, this humble official will definitely … The troops secretly trained by the Prime Minister Su and his henchmen in the imperial court are to inform the Duke of this matter in detail and inform the world of his rebellious nature.
The Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was powerful, she could not guess wrong.
Although she didn't know what kind of background Shen Hancheng had, just based on the fact that she couldn't find any information on him, she knew that …
Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng's background was not small at all.
Cooperating with Shen Hancheng, there would be Shen Hancheng on the outside, and Su Jinruo on the inside. It would definitely be able to destroy Prime Minister Su … This ambition that had been plotting for more than ten years.
Once the Prime Minister Su was down, she could live a free and unfettered life as a traitor and disappear from this bloody palace.
Shen Hancheng looked at Su Jinruo, "If this king doesn't agree, what do you think?"
Su Jinruo laughed lightly, she met Shen Hancheng's gaze, her voice was cold and clear, without any emotion.
"Within the imperial court, only the Prince has the ability to turn the tables and turn the tide. I believe that with the wisdom of the Ninth Prince, they will definitely not reject this official's kind offer."
The large palm that was covered under the wide sleeves slowly tightened, and someone suddenly laughed out loud.
"Alright, I'll agree to your three conditions, but …"
At this point, that person paused for a moment before continuing:
"This king will not give you a time limit, but there is one thing this king wants to remind you about. After everything is settled, Master Su will leave the capital and will no longer interfere with the imperial court. This king will tell you this: one day, when you return to the capital, even if you only take a step into the capital, you will still have to listen to this king's orders, and there will be no difference."
He closed in on Su Jinruo, and with narrowed eyes, he said, "Su Jinruo, this king only has this condition, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, if you really want to be under Shen Fan's tutelage and fight a tiger for skin, this king will definitely not stop you."
Su Jinruo blinked her eyes lightly and drooped down slightly. She took a step back and cupped her hands:
"This official thanks Your Highness. I wish Your Highness and Your Highness …" "Happy cooperation."
After leaving the capital, it was impossible for her to return.
Impossible, it's time to go back.
His gaze quietly landed on Su Jinruo's body, looking at the black-robed youth, as though he was seeing him for the first time, neither humble nor arrogant.
He wasn't arrogant, but he wasn't humble either. Even though he lowered his posture to the extreme, he still couldn't see a single trace of inferiority in his eyes.
The only difference is …
In the eyes of the black-robed youth, there was no longer the same gaze that he had had before, and instead, there was a deep sense of enmity towards him.
Bewitching...
Su Jinruo was a mystery.
It used to be and it is now.
Available...
This kind of person, whose entire body was filled with obsession, easily broke into his line of sight like this …
And so … He openly entered the hall.
And he was so merciless that he even mercilessly took away the opportunity he saw.
Su Jinruo, you are truly ruthless.
The corner of the man's lips curled up into a bitter smile. Suddenly, he changed into a domineering and sinister smile. Anyone who looked at him would tremble in fear …
Shen Hancheng stared at Su Jinruo, "So it's like this, the agreement is complete, and if I can succeed after this, this king will definitely listen to your words and help you leave. But now, Master Su still owes this duke two conditions. Firstly, when we made the bet that day, Master Su lost and has always owed me back, and secondly, today, Master Su invited this king to his residence. Master Su also knows that this king does not do business with a loss. As a reward, Master Su should owe this king a favor.
The reason she invited him was because she was unable to leave the residence of the prime minister.
Even though Prime Minister Su trusted her, she didn't completely and utterly trust her …
Naturally.
I am afraid that in this world, there is not a single person that the Prime Minister Su can completely trust.
But, did this also require a bargaining chip?
She thought that only if she asked him for help and she didn't have any conditions to raise with him would she be willing to pay the price …
Su Jinruo's thoughts were not yet finished, when the person in front of her stared straight at her.
"Master Su, on the second condition, do you want this king to personally propose it, or do you want this Master Su to … personally mentioned it? "
Su Jinruo raised his eyes, Shen Hancheng's expression was indifferent, his features were exquisite and cold, and as he entered her line of sight, it was impossible to tell how he was feeling right now.
After a moment of silence, she said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, then this official can play a song for Your Highness …"
Before Su Jinruo could finish his words, Shen Hancheng cut her off:
"Su Jinruo, you know what this king wants …"
His purpose had always been clear.
Su Jinruo had no reason to tell.
Perhaps it was because his eyes were too focused on her, or perhaps it was because she wanted to avoid such a gaze, so she subconsciously turned her face away.
jade like fingers loosened and loosened, then tightened and tightened. Finally, Su Jinruo shifted his gaze and slowly walked towards Shen Hancheng.
Time flowed by extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Rumor...
That day, the Prime Minister's Estate was bustling with activity.
That day, the Prime Minister's Mansion was brimming with joy.
It was also because of that day that the person who got married, Su Jinruo, suddenly reneged on the marriage.
He also showed the evidence to the justice minister for verification.
As for what Su Jinruo had said, Prime Minister Su did not refute him.
It was rumored that the Prime Minister Su wanted to massacre the entire Xiang Fu that day, so everyone became frightened birds. They all raised their hands and surrendered, not daring to resist.
However, among them were some good ministers who were loyal to their fathers. After cursing at Prime Minister Su, they were shot dead on the spot. Some died on the spot.
On that day, the murderous atmosphere condensed.
The direct son of the Prime Minister was tied up and brought around by the Prime Minister's orders. Prime Minister Su's intentions were very obvious, he just wanted to show his son how his father would rule the entire world.
Prime Minister Su raised his arms to rebel and attacked the palace.
They had originally thought that the situation had been set and that the Prime Minister Su was successful in rebelling, but they did not expect that …
A group of people suddenly appeared midway. Not only was they very familiar with the way he sent out his troops, but they also knocked down the tactics he used, causing him to retreat step by step.
In the end, a person who had served as prime minister wasn't stupid. He was able to guess that it was his son who had snitched on him.
In his hatred, he withdrew his troops and fled, preparing to escape from the capital. He left Qingshan behind, waiting for the day when he would make his comeback.
Available...
There was someone who didn't give him the chance to do so.
That person had already guessed that if he failed, Prime Minister Su would definitely choose to flee the capital.
They had long since been waiting for him at the city gates of the capital.
When the capital changed, the common people did not dare to run out of their houses. They were deeply afraid that if they did not pay attention, they would become a ghost under their sabers …
However, someone had spread word that the people waiting for the Prime Minister Su outside the city were all going to destroy the entire mob within the Prime Minister Su.
After that, he found out that there was one less important person at Prime Minister Su's side.
Prime Minister's son, Su Jinruo.
While it was shaking, the room was bright.
Su Jinruo's line of sight, was entirely dark red, and thus, he was forced to not open his eyes.
Not long after she was taken down by the Prime Minister Su, her line of sight had always been in this state.
Just now, she had been sent to a carriage.
Sometimes, Su Jinruo felt that as a person, it was really not good to be too smart.
A faint smile leaked out from the corner of her lips as she said:
"Master Mother, it's been a long time since Jinruo last saw Master Mother. I never thought that the next time we meet, it would be like this, which is really a joke for Master Mother."
There was a moment of silence. After a long while, someone sighed.
"Jinruo, do you hate mother?"
Hate...
He didn't know, because she wasn't the real blood relative of the person she was talking to right now.
She didn't know the pain of being cheated by her mother for so long.
Su Jinruo said, "To live in bed for sixteen years and endure the discomfort in his heart. To live with the love and care from the bottom of his heart, that kind of love only belonged to his mother. His mother's life is so difficult, how could Jinruo dare to hate his mother?
Silence reigned in the room. However, after a short while, someone smiled and said:
"Jinruo is quite smart. I believe Jinruo has guessed that his mother is one of the Emperor's men. What words does Jinruo have to say to his mother? If it's something he wants to say, her mother will all be able to accept it …"
I should say so.
That she was going to make use of Su Jinruo's kinship to her own mother to resist and plot against her own father?
That she would slowly lead him into her trap with the Old Emperor, step by step, to let her know his ambitions?
Or could it be that those warm reminders, including the kind amulet, were a decoy to dispel her suspicions …
Heh.
At that time, she was fortunate enough to become a flower scout, but Old Emperor did not take her, the top scholar and the eye of the leaderboard to leave the capital together to go to a place where an official could be found …
Today, the answer to the mystery that he had yet to solve finally appeared.
For some reason, Su Jinruo just wanted to laugh.
I just want to sneer...
Originally, Su Jinruo treated her mother with such respect that even when she was at the brink of death, he still couldn't let her go …
He wanted to support her identity and help her poor mother gain control of the world.
Unfortunately …
What a pity.
Her biological mother, who was originally a member of the Old Emperor, had been a successful spy from the very beginning.
A spy that no one could have guessed at.
She knew that Prime Minister's Wife was a spy, but not long ago, when she got on the carriage, she was blinded, and accidentally slipped and almost fell down.
It was someone who helped her up quickly. The faint fragrance of orchids wafted into her nose …
She then thought about the people she had interacted with, who had the scent of orchids and who had the freedom to move around when the Prime Minister Su betrayed them.
Only she, the madam of the Prime Minister's Estate.
Su Jinruo's voice was faint, and did not fluctuate at all.
"Jinruo doesn't have anything to say, I wish to speak to Madam, but Jinruo has a question to ask Madam, to the Imperial Palace, will Jinruo still be able to return alive …"
