According to the situation of the country

The Eight Immortals table and long benches are neatly placed on the second floor, which is the same as the first floor, except for a few private rooms.There was not a single guest in the whole teahouse. At the end of the second floor by the window, a man sat with his back in the sun, his whole body was covered with gold, and he didn't know what he saw from the balcony of the window.Su Muqing's left arm holding the food box was a little numb. The man at the window must be the head of the house—even though his back was turned to him, the disturbing aura has been surrounding him since he stepped on the second floor. Once unforgettable.

The man Xiaoshi heard slight footsteps behind him, raised a cup to sip his tea, and said coldly, "Miss Su is here." The voice was as cold as a deep spring.

"Mu Qing met the Patriarch." While speaking, Su Muqing had already walked behind the man, his face turned pale due to nervousness.

The man stood up, turned around slowly, tall and imposing.The flowing white brocade robe still couldn't conceal the oppressive aura around him.The silver mask covered most of the face, only the mouth could be seen.The mouth is ruddy and thin as a knife cut delicately.

"Miss Su, please sit down—" The man nodded slightly as a return of courtesy.

Su Muqing sat down silently. Sure enough, the Patriarch's face was covered with a silver cloth. The only thing that was somewhat familiar was the Patriarch's lips, which could only be identified from the lips.

"Fuchunlou is the most famous pastry shop in Dingdu. These are seasonal pastries. Please let the owner try them." Su Muqing said as he carefully took out the pastries from the food box, and carefully used the silverware in the box. Quality knife cut into small pieces.

"I didn't expect Miss Su to like Fuchunlou's cakes." The man said lightly, "Miss Su, I have collected a lot of important information over the years, and I will keep it in my heart." Without emotion, as if sitting across from a wooden man, "Of course, I also keep in mind the information Miss Su withheld."

"Mu Qing is loyal to the Patriarch." Su Muqing seemed to have a big hole in his heart, and the hand that was cutting the pastry trembled slightly due to fear.If the Patriarch's method has been learned once, I'm afraid there will be no second time.

The man ignored what Su Muqing said, and continued on his own: "Miss Su, there are three water glasses on the table." After he reminded Su Muqing, he noticed that there were three empty celadon water glasses connected in a line on the table. Official kiln.The man picked up the kettle at hand, and with a little force on his wrist, the tea drew a perfect arc, obediently flowing into the celadon cup and poured three cups of tea in a row, "This is the best Longjing tea of ​​the season. Since Miss Su is so loyal, I think God will also protect those who are loyal to me."

Su Muqing faintly had a bad premonition, but still didn't guess what the monk mainly did.The man put down the teapot, took out a glaze-colored vial from his sleeve, opened the vial after shaking it in front of Su Muqing, and poured a drop into the glass of water in the middle, "This is the poison of the exotic flowers of the Western Regions. There is no doubt that you will die within one step, but the process is not as painful as falling asleep." The corner of the man's mouth slightly raised after speaking, and there was another white porcelain bottle in his hand, and he briskly poured a drop into the water glass on the left, and continued: " This is a chronic poison refined by western domain worms, and it will take half a year to take effect. If you get the antidote within half a year, you will be fine..." After finishing speaking, the man looked up into Su Muqing's eyes, "They are all strange poisons, and they are hard to find. Things. If Miss Su died unfortunately today, it would also match her identity."

The cold voice spoke of matters of life and death, with a special ghostly atmosphere.At this time, Su Muqing's palms were already covered with fine sweat, and he couldn't help but leaned back, his head froze and he couldn't think.

"One of the three cups of tea is a non-toxic high-quality Longjing. Since Miss Su is loyal, God will bless her. Besides, I can't bear to see her loyal subordinates die unexpectedly." The face under the white silver robe and silver mask was deep. Not to cause any disturbance, "Madam Su, please be careful, which cup is non-toxic."

After finishing speaking, the man moved the three teacups on the table with both hands like ghosts. The movements of his hands were like a phantom, which was connected with the white brocade clothes.Su Muqing's wide-eyed eyes still couldn't change the fact - the Patriarch's movements were as fast as lightning, and he couldn't see through them at all.

"Bang——" the last glass of water was also shaken on the table, and the water in the tea cup did not spill at all. The man put his hands back and sat upright, with his hands on his lap and looked directly at Su Muqing, "Miss Su, pick a glass—" Seeing that Su Muqing was in a daze, he didn't rush, and quietly waited for her choice.

There was a bit of bitterness in Su Muqing's mouth, no matter how many years passed, he could not change the outcome of his fate - he had been manipulated all the time, never had a chance to choose, just like now, no matter how he chooses, he would not be able to escape death.The past was flooded with pain and suffering, and the fear in my heart disappeared immediately. I reached out and decided to choose the cup in the middle. This kindness is absolute." Su Muqing drank a toast, a line of tears slipped from the corner of his eyes, and slid down the corner of his eyes to his ears.

"Miss Su is so cruel to herself, she actually chose the cup that was poisoned earlier." The man was a little surprised, watching Su Muqing drink the tea in the cup without any intention of stopping.

Hearing Su Muqing's words, the man snorted coldly, "Hmph—Miss Su, don't forget that your life is mine. Do you think that you will be relieved by asking for death?"

"Could it be that Mu Qingqiu can't do without death?!" Su Muqing looked directly at the nightmare that had been feared for many years with desperate eyes, and the cruel intent in his eyes was to smash everything in front of him.

"If you want to be free, I will give you a chance! If this task is completed, you and I will owe you nothing from now on. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want within the four seas! I promise that there will be no more If someone from the organization finds you, your name has nothing to do with us." The strong aura around the man made Su Muqing speechless for a while.

"If you are worried about the poison in the cup," the man casually picked up the teacup near his hand and drank it down, "you are so naive."

Su Muqing was so tense that his back collapsed in an instant, and his hands and feet were limp as if they weighed a thousand catties.Seeing that Su Muqing was relieved, the man continued: "The crown prince of the Jin Kingdom has been obsessed with you since watching Miss Su's dancing in the Three Kingdoms Cuju Competition. He has sent people to Zhaoguo in disguise several times to redeem you back to the golden house of the Jin Kingdom. People came forward to block them back. Now the forces in the Jin Dynasty are divided into three, and the contradictions are sharp. The Jin prince is fatuous and unreasonable, and he is very happy. Let us know about the deployment of the ministers and dignitaries as soon as possible. What's more-"

"Patriarch, you don't need to say any more, does Mu Qing have a choice?" Su Muqing smiled, mocking fate.

The man shook his head silently, and said in a cold voice: "I know Miss Su's second biggest wish in this life is to reverse the case for Master Su, right? If Miss Su can complete the task beautifully, I guarantee that Master Su will be innocent."

Su Muqing heard a soreness in his father's nose, "When will Mu Qing go back to Zhao country after going to Jin country? How can Mu Qing's weak girl go to Jin country and have nothing to rely on to help the patriarch complete his great career?" Going to Jin country is also the same. More bad luck than good luck... No matter how powerful the Patriarch is, he can't defeat the imperial court. When will this promise be fulfilled?

"Treasurer Ding will go to Jin Kingdom with you, and Lu Zhan has sent you as guards. Everything in Jin Kingdom has already been taken care of. You only need to gain the trust of Prince Jin, and you don't need to worry about the rest. Miss Su, I I also hope you can think clearly, now you are not qualified to bargain with me - if so, don't blame me for being cruel."

Seeing that Su Muqing was silent, the man assumed that she acquiesced in this mission, and continued: "Go back to Yicui Pavilion to make some preparations, and leave in a month. Miss Su, don't waste energy thinking about how to escape. Just can't tolerate a weak woman..."

Su Muqing walked out of the teahouse as if lost his soul, his eyes were a little loose, and the delicate makeup could not conceal the anxiety inside.

Zhu'er had already been waiting for Su Muqing nearby, and hurriedly went up to meet her, "Miss, why do you look so ugly when you're not feeling well?"

Su Muqing waved his hands and stepped on the steps to get into the carriage. Zhu Er carefully supported Su Muqing and followed into the carriage.Su Muqing was trembling all over, tears pouring down.Zhu'er, who had just sat down, was so frightened that she turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Miss, what's wrong with you?! Could it be that you have been wronged?"

Seeing Su Muqing sitting there stiffly and leaning over to hug Su Muqing, Zhu'er couldn't help wiping her tears, "Miss, Zhu'er has followed you since she was a child, if you really like Prince Yong, don't wrong yourself like this, Zhu'er looked at Distressed..."

"My lord—! To my lord—" Su Muqing's eyes lit up as if he was grasping at straws, "Only the lord can save me, only him! Only he can—!"

"Pearl, hurry up! Drive back to Yicui Pavilion quickly! Bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter of greeting to the prince." Su Muqing calmed down a lot, she didn't want to go to Jin to continue to be a puppet and be endlessly manipulated by others, Jin What is the role of the prince—feeling, ungrateful, loving the new and disliking the old, violent and innocent.The Patriarch's ambition, Mu Qing, is really difficult to fulfill for him, even if he has little contact, only the Patriarch's ambition is in the world!Mu Qing was born as a native of Zhaoguo, and died as a ghost of Zhaoguo.

Su Muqing took the letter of greeting and wrote:...Your Majesty Yong, remember that there are three "gentleman's appointments" with the concubine... After writing quickly, Su Muqing carefully put the letter of greeting in an envelope and solemnly handed it to Zhu'er, saying: "From now on, my fate, Su Muqing, will depend entirely on this—Zhu Er, get off the car and send it to Prince Yong's Mansion right now, and you must send it to the prince with your own hands."

"Yes, Zhu'er will definitely hand it over to the lord." Zhu'er felt that the matter was serious and accepted the invitation to assure Su Muqing.

"Changan, go to the rouge shop and buy some high-quality rouge powder." Lin Xuan said while eating the candied haws in his hand, pointing to the golden signboard in front of him.

"Young master, don't you go to the store to choose some for the young lady?" Chang An was holding the big bags in his arms and could barely move, struggling to expose his head.

"Wow—I bought so many things before I knew it." Lin Xuan turned around and took another bite of sweet and sour. Is there a place to go? Changan, you just buy the best rouge powder in the store, the taste should be lighter, the young lady doesn't like strong."

"It's okay, young master, Chang An can handle it. But young master, Chang An is also a man." Chang An muttered to the rouge shop aggrieved.

"You're skinny and tender, you're fine, you're fine—go buy it quickly, I'll be waiting for you, young master, you can put everything down and rest first." Lin Xuan looked at Chang An with "expectation".

"Then, the young master Chang'an has gone."

"Go, go—" Lin Xuan waved to Chang An, and continued to eat the candied haws in his hand, taking advantage of his green brocade-clothed dandy's appearance, he grew a little more.

Seeing Chang An enter the store, Lin Xuan comfortably found a sunny place to bask in the sun, and the small business people around looked at the handsome young man next to him from time to time and were amazed.

"Young master, young master—" From afar, I saw a young man driving a carriage and waving desperately at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan settled down and saw that it was the little eunuch in the palace, "It's Changde."

While speaking, Changde jumped out of the car, and saluted: "Master—Xiao Dezi has been looking for you all the way, so it can be regarded as finding you."

"What's the matter, what's the matter at home?"

"Return to the young master, the young master has come to the house."

Eldest young master?The emperor came to the house?Although Lin Xuan was surprised, his eyes sparkled with excitement and he said: "Put the things in the car, go to the rouge shop, let Chang An call it out, and go back to the house!"
