Reincarnation of the powerful minister

After dinner, Su Yan, who resisted unsuccessfully, was forcibly dragged into the hot spring bath.

Of course, it is impossible to be a princess. Even the prince in the bath wanted to sit next to him, but he encountered non-violent non-cooperative resistance—the enemy advances and we retreat.If the enemy advances again, I will retreat again.The enemy was never near, so I went ashore to get dressed, slapped my ass and left.

Zhu Helin was so angry that he threw a wet bath towel at Su Yan's back: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, I'm afraid of a ghost! He said to avoid suspicion, do you still want to build a chastity memorial archway for yourself?"

Su Yan thought to himself: I am setting up a protective shield for you!You are young and energetic, and you are easy to get ahead of everything, but this is not good, really bad.Now that you and your father have expressed our feelings for each other, his son is my son—if I continue to flirt with my son, who am I?

Holding the belief that he would rather die than cross the bottom line, Su Yan turned his head and persuaded Zhu Helin: "Master, if you really don't want to be a crown prince, you can wait a few years; Put your mind on me."

Zhu Helin's eyes turned red in an instant, he gritted his back molars, and said sharply: "Su Qinghe, can you say it again?"

Su Yan looked a little distressed, but still insisted: "There is indeed a relationship between you and me, but it can only be the relationship between monarchs and ministers, friends, and brothers. In the capital, you talked nonsense and touched me before, and I treated me as you." I was still a wayward kid, and I thought to myself who didn't have any hazy feelings when they were fourteen or five years old. When they are mature and sensible, they will naturally let go. There is no need to confront your bad temper head-on. To be tactful with room for it is a form of connivance for my young master..."

Zhu Helin's spring water was wasted, and his breath was extremely bitter.With nothing at hand to throw away, he jumped out of the bath naked, and approached Su Yan with a ferocious expression.

Su Yan fought with him several times. Although they were not in the same class, he never showed any fear when facing him, so he grabbed the robe on the hanger next to him and threw it on him.

"Cover up the key parts, be a civilized person... be a decent person."

At this moment, Zhu Helin even wanted to kill someone, so he didn't care about his dignity. He grabbed the robe and wrapped it around Su Yan's head and body like a sack.

Su Yan's vision suddenly lost, and he subconsciously pulled the fabric, and was dragged down the bath by Zhu Helin and his robe while struggling.

He choked on a big mouthful of water, supported Chi Yan and coughed until his face was flushed.Zhu Helin tore off the wet robe on his head, his lingering anger still persisted, and his tone of voice unknowingly brought out a stock market ruffian: "What's the matter, after having an affair with my father, I feel that my identity is different from the past. Is the Lord playing the game of cutting the seat and judging justice?"

Su Yan coughed and said, "We didn't cut...the mat, we are still...grasshoppers on the same rope...to help each other, to tide over the difficulties...except not to engage in foundation, we can do anything..."

"What does it mean to be a base—forget it, I can guess it." Zhu Helin sarcastically said, "You Su Qinghe is very loyal, but unfortunately my father didn't appreciate it. When the border defense was unstable, you were demoted to the northwest. After returning to Beijing, I dumped you back to Nanjing. Just like that, you still concentrate on licking the old bacon, you are really a loyal minister, do you want me to ask the court to award you a plaque of 'Three Virtuous and Nine Strong'?"

Now Su Yan was also angry, and in the splash of the cloth, he punched Zhu Helin in the face.

Zhu Helin didn't hide, but got hit on the cheekbone, and then counterattacked, folding his two wrists together with his upper body backwards, and pressing them against the cold and hard stone surface of the edge of the pool.

The white stickers she wore when she came out of the bath became translucent gauze wrapped around her body. Su Yan was still coughing and panting, "It has nothing to do with loyalty or chastity. Between me and the emperor, there is a feeling of holding hands and growing old together." , and have the same ambition.”

"Stop it!" Zhu Helin gritted his teeth and drank.

"Obviously the young master is the first to know you..." He lowered his head unwillingly, and pressed his forehead against Su Yan's eyebrows, and the end of the sentence faintly brought out tears, "The affection that the emperor can give you, can make you come true Aspirations, the young master can also, and it is more real and more than what he gave."

Su Yan also felt very uncomfortable, and sighed: "Meetings happen one after another, but falling in love doesn't matter sooner or later. I really have no love for my young master."

"Wait for the young master to grow up—"

Su Yan interrupted him: "It has nothing to do with age... Uh, it has something to do with it, but it's not that kind of relationship. In short... I can work hard for the young master, but I don't want to sleep with you... Understand?"

Zhu Helin fell into silence, breathing quickly and heavily, his young naked body bent forward in the misty pool water, like a green pine subdued by the moonlight.Finally, he removed the restraints on his hands, and cursed in a choked voice: "Get out!"

Su Yan was dripping water all over his body, and rolled out of the Chunhe Palace in a dismal state.

As soon as he walked to the corridor, the cold wind made him shiver. It was as if tens of thousands of needles were moving in his drenched clothes, and the tingling pain went straight to the flesh and bone marrow.

"Lord Su!" A voice shouted from behind.

Su Yan turned his head trembling, and saw Fu Bao hurried up with thick clothes in his hands.

"Oh, Mr. Su, your face is frozen blue."

Fu Bao hurriedly invited him into the door of the side hall next to him, asked him to dry his body with a cotton towel, then changed into dry and thick robes, and finally added a cape.

"Master asked you to bring it here?" Su Yan put his hand on the smoker and asked, sniffling.

Fu Bao smiled and said, "Young master called your servant, don't say it was sent by your servant, so, no."

Su Yan stared blankly at the smoker.

"Master..." Fu Bao considered it for a while, and finally said a few words, "It's the fire and gold to Mr. Su."

Su Yan sighed melancholy, shook his head, and sighed with mixed feelings: "Actually, real gold is also afraid of fire. I'm afraid the temperature of the furnace is too high and it will melt him."

He got up and shook his cloak, buttoned his chest, put on his hat, and said, "Serve the young master well, find a chance to comfort him, and I will come tomorrow. Even if he gets angry and throws me away again, I won't get out either. Public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs, one matter is another matter, the truth investigation of the Bailu case is imminent, and there is no time for us to quarrel and get emotional."

After returning to the residence, Su Yan told Xiaobei to order two more oil lamps, and he wanted to write a letter.

The first letter was written to the emperor, detailing what happened after he arrived in Nanjing, including the details and follow-up of the Bailu case, as well as his and the crown prince's speculation and investigation on the case.

While drying the ink, Su Yan thought that the situation in Nanjing is gloomy and the situation in the capital is complicated. How to ensure that this letter is delivered to the imperial court without any risk?Then he wrote a second letter, addressed to King Yu.

In his letter to King Yu, he hardly spent any pen and ink on etiquette and greetings, and wrote directly and frankly:

"I have a lot of friends of the same age and colleagues in Beijing. When I usually drink and pay, they all pat their chests and promise to me, "Your affairs are like mine, and you are worried about me." , siblings', but I know in my heart that this may not be the case.

"Intrigue, pursuit of fame and fortune, interests are like a big net in the world, no matter the government and the opposition, or even the world, there is no one who can escape.

"Among the clan and the court, only His Highness is the only one. He lives in a cage, and his heart is far away. He never wants to get involved in the government. He looks at all kinds of forces with a cold eye. Wu Shuang Lie Feng.

"In the past, all kinds of hardships between you and me have passed away.

"Now the things I do and the words I say are hidden in the capital because of the long distance, and I am afraid that there will be many black hands on the way, so I ask Your Highness to pass it to the imperial court on my behalf.

"Your Highness is willing to help me because of love. I am grateful and will repay you in the future. If you don't want to help me, it is your duty. I have no complaints. I beg to burn the letter to prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives.

—— Qinghe pays homage. "

After finishing writing, he dried the ink, sealed a large envelope, and put the letter to Emperor Jinglong in it, planning to select two loyal and elite guards from the Eastern Palace, change clothes and disguise, and rush the letter to the capital.

As for requests such as "don't read my private letter to the emperor" and "don't be curious about what I've said and done", he didn't mention a single word to King Yu.

Although he had repeatedly scolded Prince Yu as a bastard and complained about his unreliability, Su Yan felt inexplicably at ease the moment he sealed it with wax.He believed that as long as this letter could be delivered to the king of Yu, he would be able to open up a direct channel of information from the small courtyard he rented in Nanjing to the Imperial Study Room in the Forbidden City of the capital.

Take a step back and say that even if King Yu is unwilling to hand it over to the emperor for other considerations, he will never leak this secret letter or do anything secretly.

There is no other reason, just intuition.

The intuition of "what kind of person Zhu Xu is".

Su Yan put the letter aside and wrote the third letter.This is a reply letter to the servant at home.

It has been more than a month since he arrived in Nanjing, and he received a letter from Su Xiaojing before, saying that thanks to his parents, he has recovered from malaria, and he will take good care of the family affairs, so that the adults don't have to worry about the family.

Su Yan told Su Xiaojing in a letter at home: Don't mess with other things, live a low-key life, and take care of Ruan Hongjiao when you have time.In case someone comes to provoke you, you can go to Beizhen Fusi to seek help from Qianhu Wei Ying, Wei Ying, who stayed behind in the capital and did not go to Henan with Shen Qi.

And the emphasis is on - if Shen Qi returns to Beijing, she must write to him as soon as possible to inform him of the situation.

After much deliberation, Su Yan felt that there was nothing to explain, so Su Yan put two envelopes, one large and one small, into a waterproof and airtight bamboo tube, put them inside the pillow, and went to bed with the lamp blown on.

The pillow was soft and the quilt was thick and the charcoal basin was warm, but he couldn't sleep in the dark, he tossed and turned, and finally got up and took out the kit and private seal given to him by the emperor from the locked drawer at the bottom of the wardrobe.

He flipped through the outer skin of the kit, feeling a strong curiosity about the contents inside, but quickly suppressed it, and locked the kit back in the drawer, only hanging the suet jade seal around his neck.

After lying back on the bed, Su Yan held the jade seal hanging on his chest in the palm of his hand, stroked the bumps and indentations on the seal with his fingertips back and forth, stroked the word "Jibis", and finally fell asleep slowly.
