The imperial court sent [-] soldiers to conquer the Huainan rebels, but now there is no trace of the soldiers being attacked, not to mention disappearing together with the rebels out of thin air.For a moment, thousands of speculations lingered in everyone's minds, but only one guess flashed repeatedly in the hazy blankness that could not be touched to the bottom, and gradually became clear and ready to come out.

"Losing's rebellion!"

With a firm word in the hall, Yue Yuxuan came out and continued: "Your Majesty, all this is obvious. Our Great Xia army is well-trained and always acts when it sees the tiger talisman. If the person holding the tiger talisman did not order it, how could the whole army appear?" Are they all missing?"

Most of the officials nodded in agreement.Lu Shi also agreed: "Indeed, even if there is a surprise attack at night, there should be a few survivors out of more than 7000 people. Not to mention the disappearance of the rebel party, it is really confusing."

"If it was Luo Xin who rebelled, then there is nothing to be confused about." Yue Yuxuan said, "He has worked so hard to pretend these days in Chang'an, maybe it is to gain trust, so that he can steal secrets and troops from the court to the Huainan rebels. "

Several courtiers couldn't help but said, "It has been said that he is the remnant of the Huainan king, bringing back and appointing him is to lure wolves into the house!"

"Exactly, besides, our military department is full of military secrets, and I don't know how much he knows. Once it is mastered by the rebel party, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Why do you all think that Luo Xin has rebelled?" Xu Yin, the servant of the Ministry of War, suddenly said, "After all, Luo Xin was brought back from Huainan by Master Su himself." kind of hint.

Su Shiyu's expression was indifferent, he glanced at it calmly, and didn't speak.

Several Soviet Party officials hurriedly defended him, "Your Majesty, you know that Luo Xin's appearance is really deceptive, and Mr. Su was just innocently deceived!"

An official from the Chu Party sneered, "Would someone like Mr. Su be as easily misjudged as we are?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Shi was very dissatisfied, and raised his voice: "You want to say that Master Su deliberately let Luo Xin into the court? Do you want to say that Master Su is also responsible for Luo Xin's matter?"

"Lord Lu, be safe and don't be impatient." Xu Yin said, he looked at Chu Mingyun, "no one in the court is as clear as Master Chu about military affairs, what does Master Chu think?"

What he said was very ingenious. Although the two sides are facing each other right now, the Soviet Party is at a disadvantage after all, and Su Shiyu is silent. At this time, as long as Chu Mingyun suppresses it, the Soviet Party must be powerless to resist.

But Chu Mingyun frowned when he heard the words, and glanced impatiently, "I chose the person who went out to attack, what do you think I can think of it?"

Xu Yin's expression suddenly changed, he opened his mouth and couldn't answer, so he had to retreat back to his seat.

Unable to fathom the attitudes of the leaders of the two parties, no one among the officials dared to speak again.The hall where there was still a fierce dispute just now was quiet in an instant, and the incense mist from the imperial furnace was lingering silently.

Li Yanzhen sat on the upper seat and glanced at her with a headache. After a long while, she finally broke the deadlock, "What Xu Aiqing said is also reasonable, Chu Aiqing might as well talk about it."

"I don't have any opinion." Chu Mingyun said bluntly. Seeing everyone looking at each other, he said again, "No one knows what the situation in Huainan is. Instead of wasting effort arguing and guessing, it is better to make a decisive response as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shiyu sighed softly, went to the hall and knelt down, "Since Luo Xin was recommended by the minister, and now this happened, the minister is naturally to blame. The minister is willing to go to Huainan in person, find out the reason, and hope His Majesty approves."

Chu Mingyun turned to look at him, his eyes fluctuating.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yanzhen had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then I can feel at ease, but Su Aiqing has to work hard."

"The duty of the minister." Su Shiyu said flatly.

Chu Mingyun suddenly came out of the queue, pulled up his robe and knelt down next to Su Shiyu, and said, "Since the situation in Huainan is turbulent and the whereabouts of the rebel party are unknown, I hope His Majesty will allow me to go with Master Su to rectify the military affairs in the southern border."

Su Shiyu turned his head to look at him in surprise, while Chu Mingyun was still looking at the superior with a calm expression, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly after getting the answer.

After the court meeting dispersed, they walked out of the golden palace, and Su Shiyu asked, "Master Chu has so many good generals, why do you suddenly want to go to Huainan to organize the army?"

"Aren't you also going to go there in person?" Chu Mingyun said with a smile, he glanced at the people beside him, and suddenly seemed to be emotional, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Su really didn't mean to defend Luo Xin at all."

Su Shiyu smiled faintly, "What Lord Yue said is the most likely scenario, why should I defend him?"

"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun laughed inexplicably, "I knew that it would be difficult to trust someone who does everything by himself, but I didn't expect that Mr. Su would not even trust the person he chose to appoint."

The mist outside the hall has just dissipated, and the imperial willows are misty.Su Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Frankly speaking, I don't have a good eye for people." He paused, and changed the subject lightly, "However, there are some good things about coming to Huainan. The rebel party is concealed, the war is temporarily suspended, the Xiling King can breathe and stabilize, and the situation has stabilized, and I hope there will be no more disturbances until we arrive in Huainan."

Chu Mingyun said with a faint smile, "Even if there was no turmoil before, there should be one after we arrive in Huainan."

Su Shiyu looked at him, "What does Master Chu mean?"

"Does Master Su still plan to go on the road with the convoy?"

Su Shiyu was puzzled, "What else?"

"When the convoy arrived, there were soldiers opening the way, and the government greeted them. What they saw was just the appearance that others wanted you to see." Chu Mingyun said slowly.

"Then what is Master Chu's plan?"

"You promise me first?" Chu Mingyun said with a smile.

"Tell me first." Su Shiyu said.

Chu Mingyun stopped, turned to face Su Shiyu, "Let the convoy go on the road as usual, and we will leave first with our concealed identities." He leaned closer, put his hand on Su Shiyu's shoulder, and brushed his white fingertips around a strand of black hair on his shoulder , hooked the corner of his lips and whispered, "It's just you and me, how about it?"

The language is full of laughter, and the ending sound is ambiguous and long.

Su Shiyu raised his eyes and met him with sparkling eyes.

Under the corridor of the palace, Gong'e carefully called "Niang Niang" a few times, and Jiang Yuan slowly looked away from the pair of figures in the distance.Her expression was gloomy for a moment, she smiled silently, and continued to walk towards Xuanshi Hall.

The veil in the hall was heavily covered, and there was no sound. Li Yanzhen leaned back on the chair after relaxing her body, with a tired expression. Seeing her coming, she only waved her hand and did not speak.Jiang Yuan walked around behind him understandingly, gently pinched his shoulders, but also frowned, not saying a word.

Li Yanzhen looked back at her in bewilderment, and said with a smile: "I am worried about the unrest in Huainan, but with your appearance, it seems that there are things that worry you more than me?"

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"What happened?" Li Yanzhen asked.

Jiang Yuan looked at him, then lowered her eyes again, "The concubine is just a woman's opinion, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Li Yanzhen was completely aroused, and said gently: "But it doesn't matter."

After pondering for a while, she cautiously said: "...Your Majesty, do you think Lord Su and Lord Chu are getting too close?"

Involuntarily recalling the scene of those two kneeling side by side in the golden palace just now, Li Yanzhen frowned and did not answer.Jiang Yuan sneaked a glance at him, and then slowly continued: "When the concubine just came, I inadvertently saw Master Su and Master Chu talking about something. It's not that he really hugged Master Su's neck, and he didn't dare to look too much. Just now, he remembered the rumor in Beijing that Master Chu cut off his sleeve at Su..."

"I understand what you mean." Li Yanzhen interrupted her, her tone was still gentle and gentle, Jiang Yuan hurriedly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, "The Su family has supported me for many years, and Su Aiqing is like my elder brother. I am afraid that no one can match his loyalty. What's more, the Su party has controlled and balanced the government and the opposition for me for many years, and the Chu party has private interests against him. It is tantamount to treason, and he will never do so."

"But..." Jiang Yuan was about to say something more, but Li Yanzhen suddenly reached out to cover her hand and asked, "Do you still remember the stolen key of Tianlu Pavilion at the Winter Solstice Ceremony?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Yuan lowered her eyes to hide the panic, "...the concubine will naturally remember."

"At that time, all the lovers were suspicious of you, and I said I would trust you, so I would never pursue it again." Li Yanzhen shook her hand, "Therefore, since I have said that I believe in Su Aiqing, I will not be suspected of treason. Don't mention it again."

Jiang Yuan responded in a low voice: "...Yes."

"Why did you agree to him, my lord?" The housekeeper Su Yi stared at Su Shiyu, who was packing up his books, and couldn't accept it. "That Lieutenant Chu's actions are unpredictable, and he wants to go to Huainan alone with you, there is no guarantee that there will be a conspiracy!"

Su Shiyu put the Yingrun chess pieces back into the box one by one, and smiled calmly, "I have my own measure. There is Su Bai following the convoy, so you don't need to worry about it. If you have anything to do, you can just contact the court as usual."

Since the meaning of this sentence cannot be changed, it is inconvenient for Su Yi to say it again, so he has no choice but to respond.

The indistinct voices of people passed the window, Su Shiyu looked sideways, and there was a pond of clear water not far away, and several people were busy, "What are you doing over there?"

Su Yi took a look and replied: "My lord also knows that the rare flowers and plants planted in the past were all found and taken care of by my wife. After my wife passed away, the servants didn't know the tricks and couldn't grow the dexterous appearance before. This year , I really couldn’t survive, so my subordinates sent someone to clean it up.”

Su Shiyu nodded, staring at the rippling green waves, and suddenly said: "After this dry pond is cleaned up, there is no need to bother looking for the previous one. It's good to plant something else."

"What does the young master want to plant?" Su Yi asked.

"...Lotus." Su Shiyu suddenly thought of a little sandalwood, and smiled unconsciously, "Red lotus."
