165: This Person Is Really Sick

Zeng Liang thought for a while and said: "The surname Shu is not common. The one with a reputation in Beijing should be the one related to the Guangping County Prince's Mansion?"

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. She knew that it was right to come to Zeng Liang. He had a list of all the families in the capital who could be seen in Qingjinfang.

"That's right. Have you seen him recently?" Su Xinyi asked hurriedly.

Zeng Liang smiled and looked at Su Xinyi and said: "I heard that the Shu family is going to have a wedding recently. The eldest son of the family is going to marry the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. How can they have time to come here to relax?"

"What about before that?" Su Xinyi asked again. She knew that Zeng Liang was the most informed.

"How long ago was it?"

"In the last three months."

"Then I have to think about it carefully." Zeng Liang half-closed his eyes and didn't move for a long time. If you didn't know, you would think he was asleep.

Su Xinyi didn't urge him. She sat on the side of the road, propped up her chin and looked at the pedestrians on the road. Most of the people who came to Qingjinfang wanted to try their luck in the gambling house. There were merchants with noble clothes and a lot of wealth, gamblers with ragged clothes who wanted to make a comeback, and passers-by like her who were just watching the fun.

As she watched, Su Xinyi suddenly saw a very familiar figure. She thought she was seeing things, rubbed her eyes hard, and then still watched the familiar figure enter the gambling house opposite.

Shang Junyan?

Why did he appear here?

Su Xinyi didn't want to meet him, and subconsciously turned sideways, not wanting him to see.

That is, it was very surprising that a man like Shang Junyan, who claimed to be a gentleman, would actually go to a place like a gambling house. Is he investigating another case?

"Oh, you saw an acquaintance?"

Hearing Zeng Liang's slightly mocking voice, Su Xinyi was not angry, and said casually: "I guess so, do you remember it? If you can't remember it, I'll leave."

Zeng Liang said "tsk", it seems that the person she saw made her temper worse, so it was obvious that if he was not a friend, he must be an enemy. "I saw him once more than a month ago. At that time, there were a circle of people around him, all of whom were famous ruffians in Qingjinfang, but I haven't seen him since then."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly when he heard it, "He didn't come here to gamble, but to hang out with a group of ruffians?"

"I guess so, after all, not everyone comes here to gamble."

"Can you ask the people at that time?"

"What to ask?"

"Just ask about the incident in Daling Temple, you know? After all, that incident made Master Shu get a wife for nothing." Su Xinyi said.

Zeng Liang rolled his eyes, "Do you suspect he had premeditated it?"

"I guess so."

"You want evidence?"

"Can you find it?"

"It's hard to say."

"Then you try. It would be best if you could get evidence of Shu Xuebo's deal with that group of thugs. If you can't get it, it doesn't matter. A confession will do. Can you do it?"

"Others can't, of course, but if it's you, I'll try."

"Thank you then." Su Xinyi took out a silver note and stuffed it into his pocket.

Zeng Liang didn't refuse, she put the silver note in her pocket and slowly closed her eyes, "Then Sixth Miss, go back and wait for news."

Su Xinyi nodded, stood up and left without saying anything more.

As soon as she left, Zeng Liang slowly opened his eyes, bared his teeth, and muttered, "Trouble, hey."

Who made him owe her a favor.

Su Xinyi walked along the main street of Qingjinfang and came to Huangjinfang next door. When she stopped, she had already arrived at Xinghualou. Thinking of her visit with cousin Gao, she smiled.

The apricot blossoms that once filled the streets were now only the green leaves of the trees waving in the wind.

"Su Xinyi?"

Su Xinyi's body stiffened slightly and she looked back at the figure chasing after her. Shang Junyan?

Didn't he go to the gambling house?

"It's you." Shang Junyan thought he was dazzled, but it was really her. "When did you come back?"

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment. "We are not familiar with each other. Why do you care so much?"

Shang Junyan was choked. "I don't mean anything else. I just saw you and wanted to say hello."

In fact, Shang Junyan himself didn't know why he chased after her when he saw her.

"Not really. If Madam Shang knew, I'm afraid she would scold me."

Hearing Su Xinyi's words, Shang Junyan's face turned pale. He looked at Su Xinyi and sighed, "Sorry."

Looking at him like this, Su Xinyi felt that it was a bit too much. She said calmly, "You don't have to apologize. I'm just afraid of trouble. You know that your mother and sister have great malice towards me. Forget it, let's not talk about it. What do you want me to do?"

Shang Junyan didn't have anything to do. He just wanted to stop her when he saw her. Suddenly, she asked him this question. He was stunned for a while before saying, "Do you know that Xu Yurong is going to get married?"

It seems that only this topic can bring them closer.

Su Xinyi nodded, "I heard about it. This is really a good thing, isn't it?"

Shang Junyan already knew clearly what Xu Yurong did in his life. Su Xinyi didn't want to hide her thoughts at all. She was just happy.

"You..."

"Why, do you feel uncomfortable when you hear me say this? Do you want to say that women should be more tolerant?" Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan and said.

Shang Junyan's scalp tightened, and he looked at Su Xinyi and shook his head, "That's not what I meant..."

"Oh, that's good, I really don't want to hear people say nonsense about repaying evil with kindness."

Shang Junyan was silent. He believed it. He also knew that not only did she not like to hear it, but she could also do more terrifying things than retaliating directly.

For example, setting a fire or something.

"I know." Shang Junyan said a little dryly, "I heard that this victory at Zhangping Mansion is due to you. Once His Majesty awards the reward, you will be able to truly stand up. Congratulations."

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan and raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I remember correctly, you went to work as an official in the Ministry of Justice. How come you still know these things?"

The current Shang Junyan is not the one with the deep connections who followed King Rong in his previous life. Now he is just a young talent with good talent, far from reaching the height of his previous life.

This news was not difficult for him before, but it is a bit difficult for him now.

Shang Junyan pursed his lips, looked up at Su Xinyi and said seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, I just want to remind you that if His Majesty summons you, you should try to be more steady and mention Su Si more. Lord, this is good for you.”

Su Xinyi frowned even more tightly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Shang Junyan took a deep breath and looked at Su Xinyi, "Su Xinyi, I just want to make up for my guilt towards you. Although I am too late, I am sincere. Your Majesty's thoughts are like the sea and it is extremely difficult to guess. Please be extremely careful with the prelude. You know, I know something about this."

Su Xinyi understood what Shang Junyan meant. He was referring to his experience in the court in his previous life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become silent.

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled Shang Junyan by his sleeve and dragged him to the corner of the street. She looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "Did you do a lot of things in my father's name in the past?"

Shang Junyan looked a little defeated and nodded, "Yes."

Su Xinyi pursed her lips, knowing it clearly, but hearing him admit it in person, she still felt a little angry, and said sarcastically, "So, your family is using my father's favor, but you still want to trample me under your feet... Although I told myself several times that the past things are over, but you really don’t want to say this in front of me again, I can’t guarantee that my fist will not point at your face.”

Shang Junyan wiped his face hard and said, "Su Xinyi, I know I can't help you, so I'm here to remind you that if you really want to fight, then go ahead."

Su Xinyi:......

How to fight this?

Shang Junyan always has the ability to drive her crazy!

"Sixth Miss, Master Shang, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Su Xinyi and Shang Junyan couldn't help but be startled when they heard the voice. They turned their heads almost at the same time and saw His Highness the Crown Prince in ordinary clothes standing on the roadside, staring at them with a smile.

Shang Junyan felt very strange. Even if he appeared here, he would never have the face to let the prince of a country stop and say hello, so he turned to look at Su Xinyi again.

Su Xinyi:......

Look what she does!

Why is she feeling a little guilty for no reason?

No, what is she guilty of?

It makes no sense.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi immediately forced out a smile and said, "It's a coincidence. Why is Brother Shiyuan here too?"

Brother Shiyuan...

Shang Junyan stared at Su Xinyi as if struck by lightning. What did he hear?

It was probably because Shang Junyan's eyes were so existential that Su Xinyi felt frightened and couldn't help but glare at him. What was he looking at?

Her Highness's identity cannot be revealed outside, so it is right for her to call her that.

Yan Junchu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them. His previous feeling was correct. There must be some interaction between the two that he didn't know about. The indescribable aura made him extremely uncomfortable.

"I casually went out for a walk, and unexpectedly I met A Yuan and Mr. Shang."

Ah Yuan?

Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi and then at His Royal Highness, A Yuan?

Su Xinyi didn't know how to explain the almost substantive look in Shang Shang Junyan's eyes.

No, why should she explain to Shang Junyan?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi was no longer so embarrassed. He looked at His Royal Highness and tried to speak as slowly as possible: "I just happened to meet Mr. Shang, so I chatted for a few words."

"Yeah?"

Su Xinyi listened to the prince's tone of disbelief. She sighed. She really wasn't lying. The two of them really met by chance.

Shang Junyan also recovered from the shock at this time. She knew that Su Xinyi was close to His Royal Highness, but she did not expect that the intersection between the two seemed to be closer than he imagined.

He looked at the two of them suspiciously, and for some reason his brain twitched. He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "No, it was me who chased after Miss Six when I saw her."

Um?

What did Shang Junyan say?

This bitch tricked him again!

The two of them really don't get along, so they can't get together!

After Shang Junyan finished speaking, he also fell silent. He felt that he was also crazy. He was silent for a moment and then added, "I wanted to ask Miss Six about something, so I caught up with him."

"Are you done talking now?" Yan Junchu looked at Shang Junyan and asked.

Shang Junyan nodded, and then heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say again: "I happen to have something to tell A Yuan. Can Master Shang make it easier for me?"

No matter how stupid Shang Junyan was, he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was trying to get him to leave, so he turned his head to look at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi:......

There is something really wrong with this person, look what she does!

Seeing Su Xinyi's cold gaze, Shang Junyan squeezed out a smile, then took a step back with his hands folded and turned away.

Su Xinyi also fell silent. Every time he met Shang Junyan, he would be in a bad mood. It felt so bad.

Yan Junchu looked down at Su Xinyi, seeing her visibly unhappy face, pursed his lips, and said slowly: "I am sorry to interrupt your conversation with Lord Shang. I saw you here and I just wanted to talk to you about the caravan, so I came here."

Standing in a secluded place, Su Xinyi didn't have much scruples, so she shook her head and said: "Your Highness, you are joking. How can you say I am disturbing you? Have you settled the caravan?"

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go to another place to talk."

It happened that Yiyuanju was next to them. The two went to the single room on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, asked for some snacks, and sat opposite each other.

Su Xinyi reached out to hold the pot and pour tea. It was not good to let the prince do such a thing.

Yan Junchu pushed the snacks in front of Su Xinyi, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."

Su Xinyi had no appetite for anything, but she still pinched a piece of yam cake into her mouth, swallowed it, and drank tea to clear her mouth. Then she said, "Your Highness mentioned the caravan before, how is it now?"

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, who was clearly distinguished between Brother Shi Yuan in front of people and His Highness the Crown Prince behind people.

"I have reported this matter to my father, but my father has not yet issued an order." Yan Junchu said.

Su Xinyi knew that things would not be so easy. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "This matter is indeed risky. If the Tatar tribes find out, they will easily find an excuse to attack Southern Qi again."

"Although there are some risks, it is not impossible. We can still give it a try."

"Your Highness is right." Su Xinyi cheered up. "There is no other way except waiting for the emperor's order. There is another matter, which is about my two cousins. Did your Highness ask them to come to Beijing for the caravan?"

"Did you guess it?" Yan Junchu's tone became a little lighter.

Su Xinyi also smiled after hearing this, "Besides this matter, I can't think of any other places where His Highness would like to use them. Then my eldest brother, does His Highness want him to continue to stay in the Imperial Guards?"

"Yes." Yan Junchu nodded, "The Imperial Guards are currently very stable, and it's not a bad thing to stay for a while."

Su Xinyi thought about what the prince said. If the Imperial Guards are stable, then there must be instability somewhere else, but she also knew that this was not what she should ask, so she nodded, "I will tell my eldest brother. This time, my eldest brother was promoted to a thousand households and was granted the title of General Wude. I have to thank His Highness."

If there was no His Highness the Prince, my eldest brother's contribution would be somewhat erased. Even if there was the Su family, these customary military practices would not be interfered with as long as they were not too excessive.

"Rewarding according to merit is the right thing to do." Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and said slowly, "What are your plans next?"

She?

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of her grandfather's words, so she casually replied, "There's nothing to do. My family is going to find me a date. I'll probably stay at home recently and not cause any trouble."

Meet?

Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment. Yes, Su Xinyi is old enough to meet someone for engagement.

After Su Xinyi finished her business, she didn't want to delay His Royal Highness's time, so she stood up and said goodbye, "I left in a hurry, I'm afraid my family will worry, please forgive me."

Yan Junchu nodded, "I'll have someone take you back."

Su Xinyi immediately refused, "Don't bother Your Highness, I can't afford to lose with my skills."

Yan Junchu was silent for a rare time, that's right.

Su Xinyi smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave."

"Su Xinyi."

Su Xinyi turned and looked at His Highness, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"

Su Xinyi's eyes were clear, and she looked at him with respect. Yan Junchu's fingertips were clenched under his long sleeves, and his white face showed a faint smile, "It's okay, go back."

Su Xinyi looked at His Highness's casual posture and expression, as if he really just called her casually, and she didn't take it to heart and turned away.

Yan Junchu stood in front of the window on the second floor, the sunlight leaked on him, his extremely white face had a high nose bridge, thin lips were tightly pursed, and a sharp and detached aura enveloped him.

He lowered his head and watched Su Xinyi walk out of Yiyuanju. Although she was walking on the bustling street, her back was cold and cold, which was incompatible with the prosperity of this world.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back." Yang Jin pushed the door in and said softly.

Yan Junchu did not move. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly spoke, "Yang Jin, what kind of person is Miss Su Liu in your eyes?"

Yang Jin said without thinking, "Miss Su Liu is generous and cheerful, very straightforward, and loyal, capable, courageous, and resourceful."

"Then what?"

Then?

Yang Jin looked at the back of His Highness in a daze. Then what? Isn't this praise sincere enough?

Yan Junchu turned around and happened to see Yang Jin's confused look, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, go back."

Yang Jin followed His Highness out, always feeling that His Highness was weird. When he hid in the dark and watched Miss Su Liu leave, his expression seemed to be a little strange. Could it be that His Highness and Miss Su Liu had an unpleasant quarrel?

Yang Jin did not dare to guess, and followed His Highness out of Yiyuanju.

Su Xinyi returned not too late. Lian Qiao was relieved to see the girl come back. "Fortunately, no one came to look for the girl. Sister Nanxing from the Madam's side came to tell her that the Madam will go to the Gao family tomorrow and asked if the girl would go?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes."

"Then I will tell Sister Nanxing."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Go."

Lian Qiao went out, and Cui Que brought Yue Gui and Xiang Xue in to help the girl wash and change clothes. After cleaning up, Lian Qiao also came back, followed by Nanny She.

Nanny She greeted the girl and said, "Miss, the lady will go to Daling Temple to worship Buddha in a few days, let the girl go with her."

Su Xinyi nodded, just in time for her to copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures to offer to the Buddha.

After dinner, Su Qi sent some small things, which were bought when she took Su Deng and Su Li out to play. Su Xinyi asked someone to send back some snacks from Huaining to the kitchen and sent them to her brothers.

I couldn't sleep for a while, so I went into the study to copy the scriptures, spread the paper, grind the ink, calm my mind and concentrate my energy to pick up the pen and write.

You must be sincere when writing scriptures. Su Xinyi's heart slowly calmed down as she wrote. She carefully copied a small volume before stopping. Her wrist was a little sore. She hadn't written so many words for a long time.

Under the light, she concentrated on her own handwriting. In her previous life, she wrote mostly hairpin flower small regular script, the favorite font of boudoir girls. It was a great thing for a lady's handwriting to be praised by others.

She spent a lot of effort to learn hairpin flower small regular script, but now the words on the paper are faintly sharp, and the round font can't stop her boiling heart.

How can such a Buddhist scripture be offered in front of the Buddha? Su Xinyi stretched out her hand to crumple the scripture into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket, sighed and sat down, and she was even more upset when she thought of Shang Junyan's words.

Your Majesty...

She naturally knew that the imperial prelude was cautious. The scene of meeting His Majesty in the previous life was still echoing in her mind. In her impression, His Majesty was a majestic emperor, and he was particularly awe-inspiring when he was not angry.

In front of such a person, who would not be cautious?

However, Shang Junyan's reminder was not that simple, especially when it came to her father. Everyone said that His Majesty trusted and valued her father, and after her father died for the country, His Majesty also greatly rewarded the Su family.

However, her life in the Shang family in her previous life was like hell, and the queen made things difficult for her. Could it be that His Majesty really didn't know anything?

Not necessarily.

The next morning, Su Xinyi got up and had breakfast with her mother. After paying respects to her grandmother, she followed her mother back to the Gao family.

Gao Yihua was already preparing for her marriage, and now she basically didn't go out. She was naturally happy to see Su Xinyi. The Gao family was preparing for Gao Kaiji's wedding, and the whole house was filled with joy.

Su Xinyi's depressed mood also eased a lot. When she learned that her eldest cousin was pregnant, Su Xinyi was even happier.

Gao's uncle and aunt still treated her very kindly. Mrs. Gao took her hand and asked her about her life in the border town. Although she knew that she was safe and sound, she still sighed.

At lunch, Gao Kaiji and Gao Kaihao came back. The family had a happy meal. On the way back, Su Xinyi was in high spirits.

When she copied the scriptures again in the evening, she was able to control the pen well. She copied a volume of scriptures devoutly before washing and resting.

On the day of going to Daling Temple, when everyone was ready to go out, the palace suddenly came to convey the order, and His Majesty summoned Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi received the order respectfully, and had to ask the fourth sister to help her offer the copied scriptures in front of the Buddha. She changed her clothes and followed the visitor into the palace.

The fourth lady was a little worried, but the lady said calmly: "The fourth family will stay at home and wait for news, and the others will go to Daling Temple as usual."

Su Deng and Su Li looked at each other. The two of them had no official positions. Su Yi went to the Imperial Guards, and Su Qi and the others took a few days off to accompany them to visit the capital, but they had to go back to study, so today they accompanied them to Daling Temple.

Do we still need to burn incense at this time?

The two of them didn't quite understand, but they just followed their instructions.

Su Xinyi had thought too much before, so when the time came, she was not panicked. She walked into the familiar palace gate and followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict to wait outside the imperial study.

The sun was shining brightly today, and it was warm on people's bodies. Su Xinyi stood with her hands down and did not look at the surprised eyes of the court officials waiting to be summoned.
