Things in the court changed in a flash. Especially when the emperor was in critical condition and the medicinal pills were ineffective.

Those who wanted to seize power naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, so everyone in the imperial palace was tense. If the Emperor doesn't die, then they can't act rashly. But if he didn't move, and was afraid that the other side would overpower him, he would end up getting the dragon throne. Thus, this battle was far more urgent than the one on the Wenjiang River. As for those who were fighting, they were even more insidious.

The Sixth Prince had fallen into a trap. It was only now did he realise that his mother, who had always taken care of him, actually wanted him to die too. He returned to his own bedroom in a state of panic. When he arrived at his bedroom, he chased everyone out.

His mind suddenly recalled the words his mother had said before she died. She told herself not to trust anyone so easily. Surviving in the harem was far more important than being honored. Originally, he thought his mother told him not to be greedy for the throne because it was something that didn't belong to him. As long as he survived, he would be a carefree prince in the future. But now that he thought about it, this was not the case. Perhaps his mother wanted to tell him not to believe the Empress's lies, not to engage in battle with anyone. As long as he could stay alive, it would be difficult for him to stay in the harem.

At this time, an unfamiliar yet familiar voice suddenly appeared beside Shangguan Jun's ears. Why are you so upset? "Today, she caused you to not die. In the future, you will have a chance to take revenge."

There was no one in his own chamber, so when someone suddenly spoke, Shangguan Jun was shocked. However, the glare only made him more astonished when he turned his head around and clearly saw who it was. You are... The Five Royal Brother s? "

Shangguan Lin walked out from behind the screen, and nodded while smiling: "Looks like Sixth Brother hasn't forgotten about Little Brother."

Shangguan Jun immediately withdrew the sorrow and shock on his face. "In the end, it's impossible for someone who grew up in the imperial harem to be so simple and stupid." I wonder why the Five Royal Brother s are hiding in this little brother's chamber? I remember the Royal Father had once said that the fate of the five Royal Brother s is bad, and they cannot enter the capital without being summoned. Do you know that Royal Father's body is currently unwell? If anything goes wrong when you return, you will not be able to take responsibility. "

Shangguan Lin was not angry. He had never had a good impression of his sixth brother, who was half a year younger than him. The enmity between the two brothers wasn't something that could be resolved in a day or two. "It would be strange if he flattered himself." Of course I came back for a reason. However, I have something to discuss with Sixth Brother.

Shangguan Jun frowned: "You and I still have things to discuss? Five Royal Brother s, don't tell me that you want to find me to be your scapegoat? "

Shangguan Lin smiled and sat himself on the chair, and poured tea for himself. I already know what happened just now. After that, I have been really nice to you. Using a concubine that was forcefully given to me to kill you is truly insidious. Luckily, he didn't manage to play the role of Four Eagles. Otherwise, we brothers won't have to live any longer in the future. "

Shangguan Jun raised his brows, "What do you mean by that?"

"Sixth brother, you already know the answer." If she framed your brother and concubine, you would definitely be kicked out of the capital by the Royal Father, and you might even lose your future title. At that time, the Lou Clan could take your life at will. You know that, of course. Second, the concubine, whether I have seen her or not, must have come from my palace. Royal Father did not like me from the start, and wished that I would never appear. This move of hers would naturally slash on my body once more. But I'm fine. At most, he would never return to the capital. But if that's the case, then my mufei and I will never see each other again. If a concubine doesn't have a son to rely on, then wouldn't that be letting her work as an empress? After these three condors, the most poisonous one was the Royal Father. Royal Father was already severely ill. If something like this were to happen again, no one would know what kind of danger would occur in a moment of desperation. In case … Wouldn't this woman be able to falsely pass her position to her son under the imperial edict? I think you should know that Royal Father's attitude has changed a lot recently. "

Naturally, Su Xinyu did not know about what happened inside the palace. She was currently looking at the courtyard with Zhang Ziyi.

Compared to those good stores, Su Xinyu felt that the most important thing to do now was to quickly change to a larger courtyard. When the time comes, this courtyard could be used as a dormitory for Sun Xiguang, He Minggui and the others. The main reason was that she needed to bring Butler Su over, so she couldn't keep separating the husband and wife. And Auntie Yun, it's not appropriate for her to stay with those men all the time. Although she was also forty years old, it was still inconvenient.

Besides, he could not always have a man at home. Her family would definitely get more and more rich in the future. At that time, the safety of their house would become the top priority, and they wouldn't be able to use the family guards. But it was necessary to find a driver. Furthermore, she did not want to make Hu Ya do some small things in the family. After all, when the restaurant started, she would definitely ask Hu Ya to follow his and do them. At that time, Su Fu would not be able to do moving and lifting at home, so he had to find two more servants. In this way, it was impossible to not buy a new courtyard.

She was very satisfied with the two houses that Zhang Ziyi had mentioned earlier. However, the price was not low and the area was quite large. So today, she had come to a box alley two streets away to look at a separate courtyard.

This courtyard wasn't small, but it was still a bit different from the previous two. Little Four's yard plan was pretty good. There were four rooms on the left side of the main entrance, plus the concierge, which was just enough for the servants to live in. There were two rooms on the right for the cook's wife. The outer court wasn't large, but the original owner was in a rather leisurely mood, causing the servants to plant quite a few flowers.

After entering the second door, there were no corridors on the left and right. Other than the halls, there were three uppermost rooms that were also built on the left and right. Judging from the situation, it was originally meant for people to live in. However, other than the chairs and other decorations, there was nothing else in the room. It was hard to tell who lived there. But for Su Xinyu, it was still okay to let Housekeeper Su and her wife live together.

In this inner courtyard, there was a kitchen on the east side and a toilet on the west side. At the side of the kitchen was a shack that was about five square meters, with a well in it. Zhang Ziyi told him that it was a sweet well, not much worse than the water in their yard. This was one of the reasons he recommended the courtyard to Su Xinyu.

This academy had five main rooms. In the center was the living room, which was also the main hall of the courtyard. It looked spacious and bright, and the room was filled with rosewood furniture. Su Xinyu understood this point. After all, their family lived in the old house, and the houses in the space were made of good materials. Thus, she had seen these good things ever since she was young. Naturally, she would not be blind.

"This is the best Pear Blossom Tree." It was different from the world of his previous life, but most things were the same. He and Tian Yu had another background here. She believed that this yellow pear would also have a new name here.

"Zhang Ziyi never thought that this young mistress' eyesight was actually so good. No. The best of the tannins. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't be taken away, I would have been too anxious to force them to leave. This amount was at least a thousand taels. But I didn't give you any money either. If you want to take a fancy to this courtyard, you can keep it for free. "

Su Xinyu frowned slightly: "How can that work. This thing is so valuable. "

Zhang Ziyi laughed: "If I were to buy something then it would be precious, I would have come here for nothing. Where did this come from? You only need to give me the silver for the house. Tell the rest to my Fifth Master. If he knew I was going to charge you extra silver, he wouldn't have kicked me out. "It's better if you don't make things difficult for me."

Su Xinyu was amused by his words. All right. I'll tell him later. I want to go to the backyard. "

Zhang Ziyi immediately stepped forward to lead the way. That's true. The backyard is occupied by your girls, but we have to take a good look. "

Back from the box alley. Su Wenlan hurriedly asked about her daughter's situation. Xinyu, what about the old mansion? "What's the price?"

Su Xinyu chuckled: "Although the price is a bit expensive, at least five hundred silver, it is a four-way courtyard, and its living space is absolutely spacious. I just can't move the workshop over. However, in the future, our family will definitely have more and more people. I have already decided on it with the Uncle Zhang. That yard. He said he would pick out a few rough servants for me and buy them. This way, he could be at ease. "After all, we are all women here. After doing business in the future and having the money to go in and out, there won't be many capable men watching over and protecting the house."

This courtyard was already huge for Su Wenlan. She heard his daughter say that it was a four-way courtyard, and it was much bigger than the one she mentioned before. Didn't you say that it is smaller than the previous one? Why is it a courtyard? "Isn't it a little too big?"

Su Xinyu laughed: "There are a lot of courtyards, but the area is smaller. It's just that the planning is a bit more exquisite, with more houses. Uncle Zhang said that this house was a thriving place in the past, so when the house was being built, there were many rooms. Don't worry. The furniture was complete. As long as you have the things you need, you can move them over. However, I still need you to take charge of this matter. I still need to see which shop is most suitable. Aunt Zhang was originally in the main house, if you let her manage it, it will definitely be done well. However, our family spends too much money, so we can't afford that luxury. Mother, please give them some pointers. If I were to say it, the taste would be different. "

Su Wenlan nodded: "Of course. Mother knows her limits. But you have to watch it carefully. However, he couldn't just take advantage of her. I have to return it. "

Su Xinyu laughed: "You don't have to worry about that mother either. When did I miss your daughter? Not to mention, since we're begging, the reward must be fair. There was a saying that a true brother would account for everything, let alone a friend. I know. That's right. I'll give you a hundred taels of silver first. I guess I should have enough for the yard. But if there's anything particularly important, you can get it from me. I'll have to put more on hand, since the shop is certainly much more expensive than the house. These five hundred liang of silver had already used up all the money he had earned before. I'll have to use those three thousand taels to buy the shop. "
