    Chapter Index

    In this moment, Su Yan’s mind is full of distractions, if we are determined to capture the fluttering fragments, maybe we will catch some messy words, such as “clearly said that he adores me, and then go back to find someone else,” “He is a man, after all, is still an emperor, the harem is his responsibility.” “I myself may not always be faithful” ……

    To King Yu, Su Yan was only slightly stunned for a moment, then revealed a puzzled expression and calmly spat out four words, “Intriguing.”

    – – Just like that? With a hint of disappointment, King Yu asked with a smirk, “What does Qinghe mean by this?”

    Su Yan said: ”Do not you think, Wei noble consort back to favor the timing of some subtle? The Wei family is not unknown to the emperor, and now is involved in the case of the Vacuum Cult, can be said to be at the tip of the public opinion. The king also said, the courtroom blowing what wind there, I guess the past, roughly divided into several categories.”

    “Which categories?”

    “To try to understand the holy will, to obey the will of the Emperor, to be partisan, to see the wind, to be alone, and to be fair to the people.”

    King Yu thought a little: not so! Embrace the emperor’s thigh faction, embrace the empress dowager’s thigh faction, embrace the group faction, riding the wall faction, self-preservation faction, the last kind of the most rare, that is really the moral law and the interests of the country in the forefront.

    The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the generalization is subtle, Qinghe’s young age, like having a pair of eyes, will be the court of law to see thoroughly.

    Even Jing Hongchu, who had no interest in the affairs of the court, appeared to be expressionless as he stood by the window holding his sword, but was actually listening to Su Yan with his ears perked up.

    Su Yan continued, “The more chaotic the situation is and the more divergent the opinions are, the more important the attitude of the Imperial Master becomes, and can be said to be the weathervane for most of the courtiers.”

    King Yu nodded, “Imperial brother appears to be gentle and forgiving, but in reality he is headstrong–“

    “It’s opinionated.” Suyan interjected.

    King Yu choked and slightly skimmed his lips: ”In reality, he is strong. But the interesting thing is that once it comes to the battle of the forces, his attitude is often ambiguous, making his ministers and workers unpredictable; either that or he holds on to his set of checks and balances, lifting up at times and suppressing at others.”

    Su Yan heard the pejorative meaning from it and asked rhetorically, “You don’t agree?”

    King Yu leaned backward on the back of his chair and smiled lazily, “What qualifications does this king have to ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’? If you are not in your position, you don’t seek to govern.”

    Su Yan vaguely realized that King Yu took off the mask of debauchery, took off the dress of gold and jade, but at heart he was a man of nature, a warrior who disdained to play with power. But he is not completely straight and upright, otherwise it would not be in the “soldier’s tricky way” on the battlefield invincible. But this kind of “tricky way” is a strategy, not the heart.

    What kind of splendor would blossom from such a man, when he was allowed to return to the battlefield?

    Su Yan fell into a brief moment of disorientation, and did not come back to his senses until King Yu teased him like a cat with his finger to scratch his chin, and Jing Hongchu crossed his sword sheath between the two with a frowning face.

    “Your Highness please also respect yourself! Ah Chui, go and bring a chair to sit on, aren’t your legs sore from standing all the time?”

    Su Yan perfunctorily dismissed the two men, and his thoughts returned to the emperor: “For Noble Consort Wei to regain her favor at this critical moment, that would be a signal that His Imperial Highness is releasing to the courtiers and to the Empress Dowager – he intends to continue to elevate the Wei family. Why?”

    “Because Noble Consort Wei lives well?” King Yu snorted, “A hero can’t live with a beauty.”

    Su Yan taunted him, “Do you think everyone is like you, just clinging to that bit in bed?”

    “is also. If you talk about beauty, Wei Guifei is less than a million percent of you, the same is slept with, the royal brother did not think to lift lift you, you see you still a fourth grade.”

    Su Yan exasperatedly picked up a hard pillow and smashed it over, “Sleeping my ass, who has slept? Nonsense, get lost!”

    King Yu caught the pillow with one hand, grabbed the swept sword sheath with the other, and laughed, “Yes, yes, this king slipped up. Please also ask Lord Su to continue with the business.”

    Su Yan remaining anger, at the same time think Zhu Lv Jing this person is really good to become very: just know, full of sweet words do not go heart, just to trick him into bed. Later in the floating sound hand suffered, and was torn by his face cross-examined, see more depressed, but also more convergence, and even have a little bit of dignified look. Now give some good face, the tail is up, not moving to flirt, tease him, also do not know what medicine to eat wrong.

    King Yu was being angrily stared at by Su Yan, but instead of feeling that he was annoying, he smacked a certain kind of affectionate flavor from it – not that kind of Langzhi’s sheepishness, but the sprinkling of the same robe and the same zeal.

    The former he had been immersed in for ten years, familiar to the point of raw fatigue; while the latter, he thought only belonged to the past, to the frontier, not wanting to pick up a pearl of the sea here.

    He finally realized clearly that this way of getting along was the most heartfelt, the most relaxed and agreeable.

    Su Yan Han said angrily, “You can’t spit ivory out of a dog’s mouth. I won’t say any more, so hurry up and get lost.”

    “There’s one way to put it, you mocked me first.”

    “You’re the one who started the yellowness! Talking in a shady way.”

    King Yu lost his smile and said bluntly, “I’m jealous of my royal brother, I think you treat him better than you treat me. If you don’t level the playing field, I’ll be more comfortable in my heart, and I’ll be able to speak in the right way.”

    Su Yan choked on a mouthful of turbid air in his throat, convinced by King Yu’s frankness and brazenness!

    “You… You the man ……”

    “I’m actually quite a good person to get along with.” King Yu patted his quilt top, “You didn’t see it ten years ago, you’ll know it later.”

    Su Yan felt a headache and decided not to gossip with the other party, or to talk about business. As long as they don’t run off the topic, everyone is cute, once they crookedly go to strange (yellow) and weird (color) places, one by one, they are all doggies.

    “…… Where was I?” He asked, wilting a bit.

    “Signal.” Jing Hongchou replied immediately, his eyes glaring at King Yu with a cold stare. When Lord Su told the other party to roll away, he was right in the middle of it, his sword drawn. As a result, the other party didn’t roll under His Lordship’s magnanimity, so he had to continue to endure.

    “Yes, what exactly is the Imperial Master thinking?” Those evidences obtained from Wan Xin’s hands, should I submit them at this time? Su Yan was also a little uncertain for a moment.

    King Yu thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it is for the sake of the second prince. That child is indeed eloquent and lovely, and as I see it, he speaks more sharply than He Lin did when he was a child.”

    Su Yan alertly said, “What His Majesty means is that His Majesty thinks that the second prince is a makable talent, so he doesn’t want to pursue his mother’s family’s responsibility too much, so as not to cut off the second prince’s support in the dynasty in the future?”

    As the Emperor’s brother, King Yu is both the Crown Prince’s own uncle and the Second Prince’s own uncle. In recent years, the contradiction between the Crown Prince and the Wei Clan has become more and more obvious, he has always been uninvolved and does not care. This attitude also led to the ministers on both sides being fearful and not coming to climb the ladder easily so as not to expose their position.

    And at this moment Su Yan said it unapologetically.

    Qinghe is not a shallow character, this ask out, subconsciously has been categorized into his camp, really is a “fellow soldier”! King Yu pressed down his inner joy and excitement and said: “It’s hard to say, the heart of his brother is very deep. But for now, it seems that whether or not Wei Noble Consort is really back in favor, his brother wants to let the courtiers understand through this matter – the Wei family won’t collapse because of the vacuum religion, and there is great hope for the second prince.”

    Su Yan took a long breath and was silent for a moment before asking, “What is the Prince’s attitude towards this?”

    Originally Zhu Hailin yesterday insisted on sending Su Yan back to the house, the results of the palace came to pass the oracle, urging the disaster relief matters, he had to be reluctant to exhort some, rushed back to the palace to return to the order.

    After that Yu Wang guarded the Su Mansion and had not yet seen him.

    Then King Yu replied, “It is not yet known.”

    Su Yan slowly pondered this matter in his heart, always feeling that there was something against the grain.

    After the tunnel explosion, when he was resting at home due to a concussion, the Emperor had visited him at his home in microcosm. At that time, in this very bedchamber, because the emperor had given him a personal seal representing trust and commitment, he had not hesitated to violate the great taboo between ruler and minister by pointing out that the Wei family had ambitions to compete for the crown, and involved himself in a dangerous war.

    What did the emperor say to him at that time?

    –Let the Wei family continue to be the chess piece in the hands of the “player”, the more moves he makes, the faster he is exposed.

    –Raise the scourge until it is sufficiently luxuriant, and only then will you realize how deep its roots are, and how vast the hooks above and below it are. Only then will you be able to uproot the Lord’s evil and root it out completely, along with his henchmen.

    The emperor rarely said heartfelt words to people, and then close courtiers, but also habitually first weighed each other in the scale of the weight, and then decided to let each other know how much, in which direction to go. For some reason, Su Yan always felt that the emperor said these words to him not out of power, but sincere.

    So now this situation, the royal master in fact what intention, is to continue to put a long line to catch big fish, or have a new idea ……

    Was the favor shown to the Crown Prince in the first fifteen years more because there was only this one lone seedling, and there was no one to choose from; and now there was a second prince, so he moved to have them compete for the job?

    The biggest support force behind the Wei family was the Empress Dowager. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager had been a kind mother and filial son for many years, and it was said that when he first ascended the throne, he was suppressed by a group of old ministers, or he teamed up with the Empress Dowager to seize the power of speech in the courtroom, so it seems that the Empress Dowager should have stood on the same front with her eldest son. Did the Emperor change his mind and want to spare the Wei family out of his feelings for the Empress Dowager and his rewarding mentality?

    Su Yan’s mind was twisted between two kinds of speculation, and it was difficult to decide.

    If he had just gone straight to the Imperial Master and asked him, he might have gotten a relatively clear answer, and no more than a hint. But his intuition told him that it was a foolish thing to do.

    Su Yan knows that the emperor has deep expectations for him, which are not only in love and desire, but also in the affairs of state. If the emperor only wants him to be a favored lover, long ago in the crown ceremony on the possession of him, not to mention the painstaking efforts to teach him, sharpen him, grace and wisdom to lead him in the courtroom step by step to grow up.

    In the game of chess, the Imperial Master never let go of the water, and he himself had to work hard in order to catch the opponent’s moves, not to say a great victory, but at least to achieve a tie.

    Su Yan let out a long breath, and by his heart, made a decision between the two speculations, as well as planning what he was going to do next.

    Jing Hong chased after him and saw him staring for a long time, and asked, “Your honor has not recovered from his illness, is he feeling tired? It is better to rest more.” Saying so, he helped him lie back on the pillow.

    Su Yan also felt weak, thinking too much dizziness, smooth lying down. King Yu wisely got up, “You rest well, I’ll come back to see you in the evening.”

    Late afternoon? It was already late afternoon at this moment. Su Yan said, “Please go back to your home to rest. I do not dare to trouble you to go back and forth, but also really can not afford to be this kind of love.”

    King Yu let out a light laugh, “It’s no trouble, it’s just measuring the distance across an alley, it’s not enough to talk about running around.”

    What do you mean? Even if the two neighboring squares, his house and the Yu Wang Mansion are far more than an alleyway away, right, and a horizontal measure?

    Su Yan’s eyes widened in confusion. King Yu found this look of his adorable and laughed, ”Right now the situation in the capital is in turmoil, and the remnants of the Vacuum Cult have yet to be removed, so your safety and security is of the utmost importance. The empty mansion across the back door of your house, this king bought it and will live there temporarily for a while. In the future, you will be a neighbor, so I hope Qinghe will take care of you.”

    Suyan: “……”

    What’s the big deal about being rich? Can you do whatever you want?

    “If Qinghe is still unsure, I can also buy the house next door at a high price and let the guards live in it. If not, I’ll give you a new place to live, your small courtyard is too constricted, there is a vacant mansion near the royal palace that I think is good, why don’t you move there?”

    …… Well, being rich means you can do whatever you want. Su Yan helplessly said, “I’ve received the heart, I still make money to buy a house by myself, the heart is solid.”

    After Yu Wang left, Jing Hong chased in front of the bed and half squatted down, and said to Su Yan very seriously: ”Relying on your lord’s little salary alone, if you want to buy a big mansion, I’m afraid you have to save up for twenty years. Unless adults go to become a corrupt official, then how many houses have. But my subordinate knows that adults can not be a corrupt official, so …… I will try to make money and buy a house for adults.”

    Su Yan wanted to laugh again and was somewhat touched, reaching out to stroke the personal guard’s dog’s head, “Don’t forget that you’ve already washed your hands in gold and will no longer take orders for killing. So are you going to try to earn the monthly silver I pay?”

    Jing Hongchu froze, her cheeks quickly colored red, and she whispered, “My subordinate does not need to be supported by your lord. I can also in turn raise my lord.”

    Su Yan laughed, “Okay, in case I lose my job one day, I’ll rely on you to support me.”

    Jing Hongchou felt that his own lord had a great future and would never lose his job, but even if this sentence was just a casual remark, it still filled him with joy. He licked Lord Su’s fingers and said, “Then it’s a deal.”

    Su Yan let him lick his fingers wet, the cloudy brain went off again, and even came up with a thought even more shameless than Yu Wang: I wonder if, in the future, after the change of the mansion, Ah Zhui will be willing to let Qilang come over to live?
