"What's wrong?" Sensing that Su Jiu was a step behind him, Su Lixun reined in the reins and turned to look at her.

Su Jiu looked away and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past. Fifth brother, let's leave quickly. Sixth brother is still waiting for us in Qinzheng Hall."

Su Lixun nodded.

After the two rode away for a long time, the eunuchs and maids kneeling on both sides of the road dared to get up from the ground. Some people who knew each other couldn't help but whisper, discussing Su Jiu's identity.

"Our Majesty has never been close to women, and he ignored the urgings of the ministers. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the hidden beauty in the golden house."

"Speaking of which, the Zajia family has never seen His Majesty treat anyone so kindly. Even his voice when asking questions was soft, as if he was afraid of being too harsh and scaring the girl."

"That's right, today we have a knife in the butt. It opened our eyes. It can be seen that soon, there will be an extra master in the palace!"

"I don't know what this girl's temperament is, or whether she will be good to our palace people."

"..."

Zhao Bao listened to the whispers of the palace people around him and smiled disdainfully in his heart. What is the master's wife? That is the ninth princess! What a bunch of ignorant people! None of the nine princesses were recognized.

Zhao Bao didn't want to associate with these people and lower his IQ, but... Zhao Bao raised his head and looked at the direction where the two people just left, a little confused.

Normally, His Majesty would never ride a horse in the palace unless there was something special, so it was obvious that something was urgent.

These days, Zhao Bao goes to the gate of Weiyang Palace almost every day, but Su Jiu never shows up. Now it seems that the Ninth Princess must have left the palace to go to the Supreme Emperor. It is not easy to return to the palace but make such a big mistake. There must be something particularly important about the battle.

Zhao Bao couldn't help but sigh. He just wanted to give the gift to the Ninth Princess that he had failed to give out back then. Why was it so difficult?

the other side.

"Shut up!"

Su Jiu reined in the horse's rope and turned over to dismount. Su Rong'an was walking around anxiously outside the Qinzheng Hall. When he saw the two people coming, he walked quickly towards Su Jiu.

"Jiu'er."

Su Rongan's smile was a little silly, and he raised his hands and opened his arms to give Su Jiu a hug, but Su Lixun grabbed him by the collar and walked backwards towards the Qinzheng Hall.

"Hey, hey! Brother Huang! Please be gentle, I can't even breathe."

Su Rongan rolled his eyes angrily.

Su Lixun ignored him.

The three of them entered the Qinzheng Hall, and there was already someone waiting inside.

"Uncle Emperor?!"

Su Jiu was surprised.

"You heartless little guy, you don't know how to come back to the palace to see us these days. Sister Song misses you so much." Su Xuanyan still kept a jade fracture fan close to his body and wanted to hit Su Jiu on the head with the folding fan. Worried that the folding fan was too heavy, he pinched her little face with his hands.

After the hurried exchange of greetings that day, Su Jiu went to Shanfeng Mountain and stayed there for so many days. She really neglected a few people. Su Jiu smiled sheepishly, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Uncle Emperor, do you want to go with us too?"

The two of them talked for a few words, and then Su Jiu remembered the business and looked at Su Lixun and asked.

"No, I will follow you and be your backup."

When talking about business, Su Xuanyan also stopped joking and said seriously: "My goal is too big. Many people know me. It is very easy to be exposed when I travel with you. You leave marks along the way. I will follow you and protect you." comprehensive."

Su Yijun has been in power for many years, and Su Xuanyan has been his right-hand man. He has been traveling everywhere, so it is naturally not suitable for him to show up.

Su Jiu nodded, "Okay, without further ado, shall we set off now?"

"Let's finish lunch."

Before anyone else could speak, Su Lixun spoke.

"Row!"

**

"Hurry up! You little bastards, please do things quickly! Don't you understand being orderly?"

When Zhao Bao returned to the imperial dining room, the small table was directing the palace people to do things.

There are not many masters in the palace these days, and His Majesty is the only one who needs to be carefully served. It's not even time to prepare lunch yet, so why start now?

"Small table!"

Zhao Bao summoned him and asked, "What are you doing? Isn't it time yet?"

Xiao Zhan stayed in the hot room of the kitchen during the summer and broke out in a sweat. He wiped his sweat and replied: "I don't know, but your majesty's little father-in-law suddenly came and said he wanted to eat in advance."

Of course, slaves like them can't guess the emperor's thoughts. Anyway, no matter what, they just need to do as they are told.

Zhao Bao was not stupid. He thought about the two people he met Su Jiu and His Majesty on the way here, and he suddenly made a guess.

It must be that the Ninth Princess returned to the palace because of something urgent. Now His Majesty is urging her to prepare a meal earlier. It seems that something is urgent. Maybe the Ninth Princess will leave the palace after eating. Thinking about this, Zhao Bao felt a little anxious. Jingzi's things were given away, and the next time I saw the Ninth Princess would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

"I'll go there later. Listen, you go back to the prison cell now. There is a wooden box on the second floor of the cabinet next to my bed. The pattern of the wooden box is Luan Feng holding pearls. Remember, be sure not to take it by mistake. Go quickly. Come back quickly!"

Seeing that Zhao Bao was in a panic, the little table boy didn't know what was going on, so he turned around and ran outside.

"call!"

Zhao Bao looked at the back of the small table and couldn't help but exhale, "I hope I can catch up."

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

The four of them discussed for a long time.

"Jiu'er, the road here is dangerous, especially after entering the northwest, so you must be careful at all times."

Su Lixun asked worriedly.

He looked at Su Jiu, already worried from now on. He even regretted that he agreed with Su Jiu's opinion.

"I will pay attention to safety, fifth brother, don't worry."

During the discussion, Su Lixun said this the most, and Su Jiu took the trouble to comfort him.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm here with you! I will definitely keep Jiu'er safe. Even if something happens to me, I won't let Jiu'er get into trouble!"

Su Rongan patted her chest and promised.

Although he lost to Jiu'er in the last arena match, he is still more experienced in dealing with these matters.

Su Lixun glanced at him lightly.

I don’t know why, but I feel a little regretful.

Su Rongan seemed to have seen what Su Lixun was thinking. Just as he was about to jump, the little father-in-law beside Su Lixun walked in and reminded them that it was time to eat.

"Xuan."

Each of the palace people was carrying a food box, and they were arranged in two rows on both sides. There were more than a dozen people.

The table that originally held about five or six people was pieced together into a large table that could seat ten people.

As the meals in the food box were placed on the table, Su Jiu realized that almost all of the dishes on the table were her favorite dishes.

The last dish was presented by a eunuch. Su Jiu glanced at it and felt that it looked very familiar. It was the familiar eunuch who was kneeling on the road before. Now he looked closer. Only then did Su Jiu see clearly, and finally he was the same person as the person in his memory. We matched the number—Zhao Bao, Brother Zhao!

Zhao Bao met Su Jiu's eyes and saw that she seemed to recognize him and started to wink.

Su Jiu understood immediately.

"Fifth brother, I have a stomachache. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, let's..."

"I can go by myself." Before Su Lixun could finish speaking, Su Jiu interrupted him.

Su Lixun narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhao Bao inadvertently, "Okay."

Zhao Bao couldn't help but shudder at the sight of Xiao Jingzi's gift, but when he thought of Xiao Jingzi's gift, he resisted and led a group of palace servants out, and then found an excuse to go to Su Jiu walked in the direction he left.

"Slave, please see the Ninth Princess!"

In the corridor, Zhao Bao walked around the corner and saw Su Jiu standing not far away, waiting for him. His heart went through a thousand times for a while, and he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Brother Zhao, get up quickly." Su Jiu stepped forward and helped him up.

"Thank you, Ninth Princess."

For some reason, Zhao Bao's eyes were sore. For so many years, he had been trembling in the palace, and what he thought about most was what happened when Jing Yi was still there. Now the Ninth Princess is back, but Xiao Jingzi will never come back.

Zhao Bao actually didn't know what happened that day. He just heard that Jing Yi rushed into the fire to save the Ninth Princess. In the end, the Ninth Princess fell into coma and Jing Yi died.

Afterwards, the Ninth Princess went nowhere. He inquired many times, but not only did he not get any useful information, but he was even warned.

Since then, no one dared to prevent the fire, and the palace without the Ninth Princess seemed to have lost its former vitality and became more lifeless.

Zhao Bao never expected that he would see Su Jiu again in his lifetime.

Although Su Jiu had fully grown, Zhao Bao still recognized her at a glance.

"Ninth Princess..." Zhao Bao lowered his head, not wanting Su Jiu to see his red eyes. With trembling hands, he took out a delicate wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Su Jiu.

"This is it?" Su Jiu was confused.

"This is the birthday gift given to you by slave Jing Yi."

Su Jiu was stunned.
