Why are we always BE

"Hey!" Su Qing's voice came from above Huo Shu's head.

Huo Shu looked up and looked confused.

"What are you doing here? Help me." Su Qing's long legs were hung on the wall, and she was hanging upside down in front of Huo Shu.

"How can I help you?" Huo Shu asked speechlessly: "A three-year-old child? You don't want to go through the front door, but you have to climb over the wall to come in."

"Get out of the way, I'm afraid I'll kick you." Su Qing put her hands on the wall and somersaulted down from the wall. He dusted himself off and continued: "I didn't mean not to take the main entrance. I finally got rid of those people who were watching me. If I had taken the main entrance, all my efforts would have been in vain."

"It's hard work for you to put so much effort into coming to me." Huo Shu raised her forehead speechlessly: "Why are you looking for me?"

"It's boring. I will be under house arrest for at least three months. In such boring days, I have to find something interesting to do."

"So you came to me? This is not a palace for you to have fun."

"You can see, this place is no different from Leng Palace."

"Then why are you here? It is a serious crime to break into the princess palace without permission."

"You're already here. Since it's already a serious crime, just show me around." Su Qing smiled and said, "I don't mind the environment here."

"..."

Huo Shu was speechless.

"I'll make tea for you." Huo Shu turned around and took Su Qing into the house.

"Have you heard about Princess Qingya?" Su Qing kept talking.

"I heard that in order to make her reflect on the mistakes she made against me, the Queen Mother asked her to go to the Buddhist temple to meditate and worship in March, praying that I would get rid of the bad luck curse soon." Huo Shu picked up the tea cup and poured tea for Su Qing, and said: " I just guessed it was you."

"Then why don't you thank me quickly? I spent a lot of money to get it."

"Please drink tea." Huo Shu handed the tea to Su Qing.

"That's it."

"What do you want?" Huo Shu asked, "I will try my best to satisfy you."

"I haven't thought about it yet." Su Qing looked at Huo Shu's lips, and suddenly remembered the intimacy in the lake during the day, and quickly interrupted the topic, "I will tell you after I think about it, but I have to save the tea for the past few days. ,I want to drink."

Huo Shu glanced at Su Qing and said, "This is not some expensive tea. It is no different from what the servants in the palace drink."

"I have been in the army for ten years. I usually eat and drink just like ordinary soldiers, so naturally I don't mind." Su Qing said with a smile, her whole face exuding a strong sense of youth.

"That's good." Huo Shu poured herself a glass, "General Su, can you introduce yourself?"

"Huh? I'm so famous, but you don't know about me?"

"My master heard him say it when I was in class that you are a natural-born general. You entered the military camp at the age of ten and became a famous young general on the border at the age of fifteen. You act strangely and are especially good at raids and formations."

"I'm not only good at these two things, there's nothing I can't do." Su Qing was praised so much that his nose went to heaven, and he said: "The military camp has not suffered a defeat in the past ten years, whether it is a raid or an attack or defense."

"Then why did you suddenly come back from the military camp and still be under house arrest here."

"Because your father is afraid of me." Su Qing lowered her eyes and said, "Beiming has a total of 50,000 troops, 40,000 of which are in the hands of the Su family, and 10,000 of them are private soldiers of the Su family."

"It's hard not to be afraid of this strength."

"What's more, the king has recently decided to select a successor within two or three years and then retire. If the Su family takes sides now, the selection result will basically be no surprise."

"A big tree attracts the wind. Sooner or later, the Su family will fall. My father may not take action against you now, but that doesn't mean that the next king will not. Or maybe, these three years are the best time to take action against the Su family."

"The princess knows the affairs of the court very well." Su Qing looked up at Huo Shu and said, "What does the princess want? Power? Money? If you want to be a queen, then I can support you and become your Help.”

Huo Shu met Su Qing's eyes and said calmly: "I'm not interested. The reason why I want to know about the affairs of the court is for my brother."

"Huo Zhen?" Su Qing was too lazy to care about other people's personal names and decided to call him by his first name.

Huo Shu was a little surprised by Su Qing's title, but she did not object. Instead, she continued: "Yes. My father ordered that all princes can participate in the selection, so Huo Zhen became a target in the eyes of others even if he did not want to participate."

"Then what do you want?"

Huo Shu was confused by Su Qing's question: "Me?"

"Yes, it's you, what do you want?" Su Qing asked word by word.

"What else can I want?" Huo Shu laughed at herself: "Listen to my father and get married. Before I kill my future husband, I will spend my time raising my husband and raising my children."

"There's more." Su Qing frowned, feeling that Huo Shu's words were not true at all.

"Well -" Huo Shu pretended to think for a while, but actually said the thoughts that had been buried in her heart for many years: "I want to go to the palace and travel around the world."

Su Qing smiled, guessing that this was not Huo Shu's temporary idea, but she did not expose it.

"It's a pity that this idea will probably not be realized." Huo Shu lowered his eyes and said: "The palace is in dire straits. I have grown up here for fifteen years, and I can probably guess why my father kept me here."

"What is it?"

"My father wants me to marry the person he fears the most." Huo Shu sighed and said, "I carry a curse. This is the result of the priest's divination. And as long as I marry him, I can make this person go without any soldiers. Family decline.”

"Have you ever had the experience of killing others since you were born?"

"My mother, Concubine Rong, died six years after I was born. During this period, there were maids who took care of me, and so on. The cause of death is unknown."

"That's it..." Su Qing fell into deep thought, but after a while, she said excitedly: "Why don't you marry me."

"What?" Huo Shu couldn't believe what Su Qing said.

"I said, why don't you marry me." Su Qing repeated it and analyzed it for Huo Shu: "You see, I am the most feared person by the king but also the most indispensable person. You marry into my family with bad luck. , I can fulfill your father’s wish. And you can follow me to the border to experience the border life. If you want, we can fake our own death and change our identities to travel around."

"General Su, I don't know you." Huo Shu closed her eyes and said helplessly: "We have only met twice so far. Everything you do is beyond my expectation."

"The princess is also a smart person, isn't she?"

"Your idea is very good, but it's a pity that I can't agree to it in the short term." Huo Shu looked at her reflection in the tea cup and said.

"Why? Isn't this a way to kill two birds with one stone? I long for a safe life, without being suspected and without being restricted everywhere. And you want to leave the palace and travel around the world. If you marry me, can't both of our ideas be realized? Is it done?" Su Qing was puzzled.

"I can't abandon my brother and leave. Ah Zhen is also one of the princes. His life in the palace is more difficult than mine. We have grown up dependent on each other. I will not let him stay alone in the palace. I must become One of his helpers." Huo Shu raised her head and said, "I accept General Su's kindness. But I'm afraid General Su will have to find another beautiful woman. I know that my brother ascending to the throne is like ascending to heaven, and I also know that he was We are trapped in a whirlpool and cannot escape. But my brother and I have been one since birth, and we cannot abandon each other."

Su Qing pondered for a while and said, "Your brother will probably be sent as a hostage soon."

"how do you know?"

"You guessed it, when an ominous curse is used on the enemy, it will be auspicious to oneself. Now, the king has ordered the selection of a successor. He will definitely send your brother out as a hostage as soon as possible. One is to prevent him from gaining influence in the court, and the other is to choose During the time of the heir, it is easiest for other countries to invade, so you have to throw some mouse droppings to spoil the porridge."

"What kind of description do you have? It's so direct and clear."

"People don't talk secretly, right? I flatter and say all the good things in court every day, and I feel sick when I say them. I finally find a place where I can talk properly, so naturally I say whatever I want. .”

"It's good for you to be like this." Huo Shu said.

"I can do better."

Huo Shu raised her eyes and looked at Su Qing. Phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, although they often stay in the military, their skin is still fair. In terms of appearance, it is absolutely superior. He is dressed in a white robe, but he has the aura of a young man.

"Your appearance is indeed very pleasing to the eye as a husband." Huo Shu praised.

"I have only been in Beijing for less than three months, and there are already many girls chasing me. I asked you to confess my love to so many girls, but you still rejected me." Su Qing looked aggrieved. Like a milk dog.

"I don't want to reject you, I just can't agree in a short time."

"Can you agree to it as time goes by?"

"Let's wait until A'Zhen is fine." Huo Shu lowered his head and blushed a little.

"That's okay. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Su Qing held her chin and said, "I have another suggestion for you. Since you are in a difficult situation in the palace, you still have to find ways to improve your martial arts. You can't do tricks every time. Even a clever person can meet Su Qing."

"Do you have any way to improve your martial arts in a short period of time?" Huo Shu asked cautiously.

"In a short period of time..." Su Qing pondered for a while and continued: "The right way is definitely impossible. There are crooked ways."

"I am burdened with an ominous curse. I am afraid that the evil way is more suitable for me than the right way." Huo Shu smiled and said: "If General Su has a way, can you give me some advice?"

"I went to the Western Regions before and got a book about this. I can show it to you tomorrow," Su Qing said.

"Thank you, General Su. If General Su is in trouble in the future, I will try my best to help."

"It's just a trivial matter. You have to find a way out of crooked ways. Give it a try first."

"Sister, I'm coming in." Huo Zhen's voice just sounded.

Su Qing stared at Huo Hao walking in, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Azhao, why are you here?" Huo Shu quickly poured tea for Huo Zhao: "Didn't you say someone wanted to talk to you?"

Huo Zhen stared at Su Qing and said in a bad tone: "Yes, I just finished talking. Sister, why is he here?"

"He is under house arrest in the palace. He felt bored in the palace and came to talk to me."

"That's really a rare visitor." Huo Zhen crossed his arms over his chest, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

"Su Qing has met the Sixth Prince." Su Qing stood up and saluted Huo Hao.

"This is my sister's palace, no need to bow to me."

"Yes." Su Qing immediately sat back.

"Azhu, how's your conversation going?" Huo Shu asked with concern.

"Can he listen?" Huo Zhen and Su Qing were still staring at each other.

"It doesn't matter." Huo Shu thought for a while and said.

"Yes, I'm not an outsider, I'm your brother-in-law-to-be." Su Qing's inner rivalry with the little boy grew and she said deliberately to annoy Huo Zhen.

"What? You are not qualified to be my brother-in-law. My sister can only be mine." Huo Hao's anger was aroused immediately.

"Stop arguing!" Huo Shu was speechless. "One is almost fifteen and the other is almost twenty. Why are they both acting like three-year-olds?"

These two people combined are definitely not five years old, absolutely not!

After hearing what Huo Shu said, Huo Zhen stopped arguing with Su Qing and got down to business.

"This group of people who didn't follow have exactly the same idea as the people before. They just want an obedient puppet king. As for the ominous curse, just say it's you. So the talks fell apart." Huo Hao squeezed the teacup tightly and angrily Said: "No one can throw dirty water on my sister, no one can."

Su Qing was a little surprised by Huo Zhen's statement and looked at the two of them with interest.

"Azhu, I'm fine." Huo Shu comforted him: "When our birthday comes, my father should choose a husband for me soon. I will get married soon. By then, I will no longer be a member of the Wang family. She’s a princess, it doesn’t matter what she is like.”

"Something's wrong! One of the conditions I negotiated with everyone is that my sister's marriage will be annulled after I ascend the throne. She can't leave me!"

"Huo Zhen, you are not a child anymore. Sometimes, you can be flexible."

"If I may interrupt, Huo Shu, when is your birthday?" Su Qing interrupted and asked.

"What happened on the third day of September?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking." Su Qing smiled and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if you want to hear it."

Huo Shu and Huo Zhen turned to look at Su Qing with puzzled faces.

Su Qing said with a smile: "What if I stand on your side?"

Huo Zhen and Huo Shu suddenly opened their eyes wide, as if they were looking at something terrible.

"Why do you want to help us?" Huo Shu spoke first and asked, "Since you want to stay away from the center of power, you shouldn't choose us."

"Seeing the deep brother-sister relationship you have, I just want to help you. Besides, I am your brother's quasi-brother-in-law. Isn't it normal for one family to help the other?"

"Who wants you to be my brother-in-law!" Huo Hao blurted out.

"Huo Zhen, don't get excited yet." Huo Shu said in a serious tone: "General Su, whether you choose to stand in line or marry me, you should think carefully, not just talk. Please think carefully first, General Su. , then make a good decision, okay?"

Su Qing's tone when speaking to Huo Shu became less cynical and said seriously: "I was indeed a little reckless about what happened today. But give me a few days to think about it, I'm afraid this is the result. Anyway, I don't have many days to live. , it’s better to do all the ridiculous things and have a happy life.”

"General Su, we don't have time to accompany you to be happy." Huo Zhen refused unceremoniously.

"I will give you the book you want tomorrow. Su Qing will leave first." Su Qing said to Huo Shu, stood up and left.

"Little General Su, go slowly." Huo Shu stood up and saluted.
