Gongshang Confidante

Su Muxue slowly opened her eyes, looking at the person in front of her, her eyes flickered with anxiety, nervousness, and uneasiness.

What she had seen, those deep eyes flickering, was something called ambition that Chao'er had never had before.

But she didn't care about it, it was she who fell into the inextricable affection for Zhou Chiyu, and it was she who indulged Zhou Chiyu's ambition time and time again.

She even made a promise to Zhou Chiyu, whatever you think, I want, and whatever you ask, I will give it to you;

It was she who gave everything and let Zhou Chiyu get what she wanted, but if Zhou Chiyu had any affection for her, she would definitely not let Su Muxue fall into such a situation.

Thinking about Zhou Chiyu's affection for her, maybe it was just a trick to trick herself into following her arrangement, Su Muxue gritted her teeth with hatred, raised her hand and slapped her hard.

If Su Muxue slapped Zhou Chiyu last time, it was in a hurry, the slap was slapped, but the strength was withdrawn the moment it touched her face, and it didn't hurt, but this time it was for real, slapped with all her strength, crisp With the loud applause, Su Muxue's hands went numb, and half of Zhou Chiyu's face swelled up quickly.

Zhou Chiyu covered her face and said nothing, now that she thinks about it, she really did it at the beginning, she is only blamed for being deeply depressed by the tragic death of her mother and concubine, and Su Muxue is the one in her hands who is most sure to overthrow her. People from Xue Pai.

At that time, the late emperor wanted to maintain the balance between the Su faction and the Xue faction in the ruling and opposition parties. Su Zhinian did not want to break face with the Xue faction. Zhou Chiyu hinted that Su Muxue wrote to Cao Ping of the Xue faction. Others speculated that it was Su Zhinian's intention to let Xue Gui There was a gap with Su Zhinian.

But at a critical juncture, Su Zhinian actually married Su Muxue to Shi Sheng, and since then he withdrew from the ruling and opposition parties, and he can care for his husband and teach his children with peace of mind.

Zhou Chiyu panicked when he heard the news. She didn't want Su Muxue to get married, so she ordered someone to kidnap Su Muxue, pretending to destroy her innocence. In this way, after hearing the news, the Shi family would give up the idea of ​​getting married, and leave Xue Cheng's sign on the spot to get rid of Xue Cheng. Success, let Su Zhinian hate Xue Pai again, killing three birds with one stone.

It was only when Zhou Chiyu saw Su Muxue's move of burning jade and stone, and saw her covered in blood, that she was stunned and shocked, and then said, "I think, you are very important to me".

This matter has always been a closely guarded secret between her and Ye Fu, and they can't mention a word, but in the dark, it seems to be God's will.

"As long as you calm down, hit again." Zhou Chiyu stepped forward to hold her hand, Su Muxue withdrew his hand, but said nothing, just tiptoed, held the sword in the air, pointed at Zhou Chiyu, with a resolute expression, "Let me go!" ,

Zhou Chiyu stepped forward, standing in front of the sword tip, shaking his head, "It's impossible!" Su Muxue was slightly annoyed, the sword tip pressed against her heart, and scolded, "Now I have nothing for you to use, let me go!" Go! Otherwise, I will never die with you!",

The resolute and ruthless words fell into Zhou Chiyu's ears, and she actually smiled softly, holding the sword in her palm, "It's fine if you don't die forever",

"Don't lie to me with your eloquent tongue anymore", Su Muxue drew back the sword, the sharp blade cut Zhou Chiyu's palm, blood fell to the ground like red plums, Su Muxue frowned slightly, but Zhou Chiyu didn't seem to be in pain Yes, with blood dripping from his palm, he looked at her with a sweet smile, "I promised not to die! If you want to leave, you have to step over my corpse!",

Su Muxue turned the long sword, the hilt hit her on the right shoulder, and walked out, Zhou Chiyu sighed softly, really stubborn, she raised her voice and said, "Do you really want to leave without regard for the safety of the Su family? ?”,

Before the words were finished, Su Muxue landed lightly, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are despicable!" Zhou Chiyu stood in the same place, her figure was resolute and desolate, and she said calmly, "You know my heart, and I will do whatever I ask for. As long as I can let you stay, I will not hesitate to do anything."

Su Muxue threw down the long sword with a mournful expression, "Now that you and I are in such a situation, what's the use of talking about it. I won't leave, please make a promise not to hurt the Su family." She turned around, her eyes swept over the people on the ground. Yin Hong returned to Yudian without looking back, the door was closed tightly.

When Xia Ling came in, she saw the blood on Zhou Chiyu's hand, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she was shocked for a while, so she hurriedly sent someone to find the imperial doctor, and when she went to court the next day, she put down the curtain for the first time, and the emperor didn't want all the civil and military officials to see her Half of his face was swollen, and his hands were still wrapped like rice dumplings.

In the past two days, countless rare things, head jewelry, brocade costumes, antique calligraphy and paintings, and extinct books were all sent to Yudian, filling Nuoda's Yudian to the brim, making some people in the palace extremely jealous up.

"Zhaoyi, you have heard that this year's tribute to the seven-color sky silk, there are only three bolts in total. The emperor sent one to the sages and concubines, and the rest were sent to Yudian. Stay," Huan'er was beside Yingxue, beating her legs while talking,

"I heard that silk was as thin as a cicada's wings that day, and it was cool to wear in summer. What is amazing is that there were colorful light spots in the clothes made of silk that day, and every movement had a different luster, which was better than that made of gold and silver threads. clothes are still alive."

Huan'er said enviously, "It would be nice to let the slaves take a look at it and touch it." Yingxue knocked her on the head and spat, "Look at your worthless appearance."

"You don't even know that the emperor even sent the people in the imperial dining room to the Yu Palace, I'm afraid that that person won't be able to eat well," Huan'er said enviously, and finally moved closer to Yingxue, covered her mouth and said with a smile , "However, these days, the emperor also sent a few pieces of jewelry, you should have seen the faces of those concubines, but they are very angry",

Yingxue showed a proud look on her face, "Speaking of which, Zhaoyi has to go to thank the emperor too", "Exactly, exactly, the servant asked the small kitchen to make some cakes, and Zhaoyi sent them to the emperor", Yingxue She tapped her forehead and said angrily, "You, you are a big kid." Huan'er said seriously, "Zhaoyi and her slaves are in the palace, if they can rely on the emperor, they will live a smooth and stable life in the future." , Ying Xue looked at her, and the innocent eyes were gradually covered with mist.

From that day on, the door of Su Muxue's bedroom in Yudian never opened to Zhou Chiyu again, and every time he touched his nose, Zhou Chiyu looked at the antiques and treasures piled up at the entrance of the hall, as well as the random jewelry and jade pendants, Frowning, "The emperor's reward, but Mrs. Su does not accept it. She said that if it is sent to the palace again, she will break it one by one. I don't know what to do, so I put it here." The little eunuch knelt On the ground, he said in a panic.

Zhou Chiyu glanced around, hooked the corners of his mouth, and raised his voice slightly, "If you are a literati after all, those authentic calligraphy and paintings are still reluctant."

As soon as the words were finished, Cui'er stumbled out with a stack of books in her arms, and shouted towards the door, "Master Su, I don't know what to do with this servant?", but didn't hear the sound, and saw the door closed inside.

Zhou Chiyu's eyes were dim, and he stood outside the door with his hands folded, motionless.

"Your Majesty, it's getting cold." Xia Ling put a white sable cloak on Zhou Chiyu. The day was getting colder and colder, but the Emperor came to the Yu Palace every day, standing outside the door for a long time, and did not let anyone in to inform him. Standing like this, often late at night.

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Chiyu said calmly. She clasped her hands together, her expression was natural, she was not in a hurry, she just quietly looked at the beautiful figure outlined in the dim light not far away. Looking at her figure, she seemed to be thin again. Many.

Zhou Chiyu frowned, "Can't even Xia Zhi's craftsmanship make her eat more?" Xia Ling responded, "Xia Zhi has been studying new tricks every day these days, but Master Su sometimes doesn't even move his chopsticks, If you persuade me harshly, I will take a few mouthfuls."

"She likes sweet and sour food, let Xia Zhi work more on it," Zhou Chiyu said lightly, and finally added, "I don't like the new cook, so I'll change it again." "Yes," Xia Ling replied, looking at the Looking at Zhou Chiyu, she even sent Xia Zhi, who was closest to her taste, to Yudian.

Sometimes Xia Ling really can't see through the emperor. Sometimes she ruthlessly sacrifices others for the sake of the overall situation, and sometimes she values ​​the people in front of her more than anything else.

The emperor didn't leave, so the people below had to accompany him, Xia Ling ordered the little eunuch to prepare some pastries, the maids prepared hot water and tea, the outside was orderly, but the people in the Yu Palace were sitting on pins and needles.

Who is standing outside?Who is waiting night after night?It is the current emperor!A slight frown can affect the life and death of the emperor.

"Lord Su, the emperor has been waiting for a long time, let's welcome her in quickly." Cui'er put on a bitter face, as if she was about to be beheaded, she lay at Su Muxue's feet, begging,

"Tui'er, go down, there is no need to wait here." Su Muxue was dressed thinly, her black hair was hanging down casually, her face was pale, and there was always melancholy between her brows.

Tweety remembered that when she first came to serve Lord Su, she remembered that she was wearing a vermilion court dress, she was very heroic, and her whole body exuded radiance, especially when she saw the emperor, her eyes were as bright as stars, and at this moment, Lord Su, her body Thin, sickly, with dim eyes, always with gray air.

Cui'er had heard some things about the Su family, she couldn't understand the relationship between Lord Su and the emperor, she only knew that the emperor imprisoned Lord Su, but he came to see her every day.

"Lord Su, this servant has something to say," Cui'er said, "This servant does not read much and doesn't understand anything, but this servant knows that the emperor is the Son of Heaven and the Ninth Five-Year Lord. If you just keep fighting with the emperor and make him angry, What good can Lord Su do? Only the emperor thinks highly of Lord Su, who values ​​Lord Su, and what Lord Su wants, can he get it?",

Tweety can't see the big picture, but Tweety knows the simple truth. In her view, the emperor is like a parent at home, and Mr. Su is like a wayward child. If you can be well-behaved and sensible, your parents will give you what you want.

Su Muxue understands this truth, but she just can't swallow this breath, let alone bow her head to Zhou Chiyu.
