Chapter 203 Listen to the book
They stayed in the Su manor for as many days as Qiuchun's body was injured.

It's better on the street, people come and go, cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons, it's so lively!
They went to the best tea shop in Bianjing to listen to storytellers.

The original storyteller that Su Jinluo often listened to went to nowhere, and a new storyteller was replaced.

It's not a story about cultivating immortals or love, but about Xuanyuan's first ancestor who opened the window decades ago and was subsequently taken away by his son.

Su Jinluo kept frowning, but Qiuchun, who was eating candied haws, looked at his lady's tense expression, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

She remembered that in the past, the young lady was most fond of books, and every time she listened to a book, she was in a good mood. What happened today?
Su Jinluo didn't speak, but listened very seriously.

"Beiliang, the last country at that time, was taken over by our ancestor Empress Xuandi. After Beiliang's defeat, our Xuanyuan army was frightened into invincibility, and we paid tribute every year to become a minister."

"It's just that Emperor Xuan was kind, not only did not destroy Beiliang, but he made an appointment with Beiliang and became a good friend of Qin and Jin."

"At the same time, I'm also willing to marry Princess Xuanyuan to Khan of Beiliang."

"For this reason, Xuanyuan may have given enough face and sincerity. Since then, the two countries have lived in harmony for more than ten years."

"I just didn't expect that when Emperor Xuanyuan died, his sons would fight for the throne, and there would be chaos... Seeing this time, Beiliang seized the right time to start a war with Xuanyuan, thinking that he could wipe out Xuanyuan all at once."

"How do you know, no matter how much Xuanyuan is in internal turmoil, when it comes to external enemies, it is unanimously against the outside world."

"At that time, several sons of Empress Xuanyuan of Emperor Xuanyuan led an army to suppress the border. The Khan of Beiliang saw the power of Xuanyuan and regretted it. He offered his daughter and relatives in exchange for the Celestial Court..."

……

After a story was told, those who sat down sighed one after another. Qiuchun jumped up and dropped the cup, applauding.

Seeing her like this, Su Jinluo shook his head helplessly.

But he didn't see the two people at the dining table not far away, and one of them, a man dressed in Western Regions, was even more livid.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Wei?
On the other hand, the corridor on the other side looked smug, just drinking the tea at hand calmly, as if he didn't know why Wei was angry at all.

Su Jinluo was not in the mood at all, she usually took Qiuchun to watch the show, but today it seemed that he was with Qiuchun, but to put it bluntly, it was Qiuchun who was with her.

The two walked outside the tavern, and the sun outside was shining brightly.

He walked by the bridge aimlessly, as if he was just walking for the sake of walking.

It's like relaxing, breathing fresh air, as if only in this way can he feel better...

Qiuchun didn't dare to speak, but felt that the lady was not in a good mood today, so she dared to follow her and accompany Su Jinluo.

Finally, the two stopped by the bridge and did not go any further.

Qiuchun was almost in good health, but she was still a little tired. Su Jinluo asked her to go back to rest, but she still insisted on following Su Jinluo and sitting next to her.

She has been with Miss for decades, so she naturally knows Miss's temperament. At this time, Su Jinluo is not happy.

Su Jinluo and A'Du sat by the bridge to rest their feet, the sail cover in the river in front of them was full of wind.

The ferryman was holding a long pole at this time, and then plunged the pole into the bottom of the water.

Although the boatman was getting old, he could tell that his body was very strong. She watched the old boatman slowly step back step by step while holding the pole.

I remember that when I woke up for the first time, he fell into the water and died in the previous life, but in this life, she will not let such a thing happen again.

Just when Su Jinluo was lost in thought and in a daze, suddenly there was a "plop" not far away.

Before Su Jinluo and Qiuchun could react, someone shouted, "Come on! Someone fell into the river! Save him!"

The voice was still childish, Su Jinluo looked up, and there was a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the bridge not far away.

When she saw that no one was going to rescue her, she cried even louder, crying heartbreakingly, "Hurry up and save her, save her. He fell into the river!"

Su Jinluo was submerged in the crowd, because here... everyone gathered around to watch the fun, but no one had the courage to step forward.

Su Jinluo couldn't help but also hesitated.

She came alive in the water, so naturally she is very afraid of water.

But... Could it be that there is only one child left?
Just as she was upset, she saw a small head float up on the water and sink again.

"This is a man who is about to die."

"Probably yes, I don't even know how to struggle!"

……

She heard the surrounding onlookers say this, but Su Jinluo couldn't care too much at this time, she took a deep breath, forcing herself to overcome the anger that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart.

Afterwards, he secretly struggled, and then jumped into the water without thinking.

But... She was eager to save people, but she completely forgot that she didn't know how to swim.

When Su Jinluo grabbed the arm of the man who fell into the water, Su Jinluo only felt that he also choked up a lot of saliva.

Struggling in panic, Su Jinluo thought it must be broken this time.

She was really too impulsive, and it was not confirmed that someone would come to save her, but she didn't save anyone, and she drowned instead.

Su Jinluo drank a lot of water, and his whole body sank.

Until Qiuchun went to the river again to fish her out of the river.

At this time, Su Jinluo was almost unconscious, and his face was even paler.

Qiuchun was so nervous that he quickly put Su Jinluo on a big rock by the river bank.

Then Qiuchun kept pressing her chest, whispering nervously, "Miss, you can't scare me."

Fortunately, Huang Tai was able to live up to his painstaking efforts. Under Qiuchun's pressure, Su Jinluo spit out a lot of water.

After lying on the stone in a daze for a long time, she finally recovered.

Seeing her like this, Qiuchun also swallowed a big stone, and then pulled Su Jinluo nervously.

"Where are people! Have you been rescued..." Su Jinluo was the first to think about saving people.

However, she found that Qiuchun's face was very ugly.

Su Jinluo didn't understand all of a sudden, "What's the matter?"

She was a little puzzled.

Qiuchun opened his mouth, and could only say bluntly, "The one who jumped into the river is Princess Er."

Su Jinyan?
Su Jinluo was dumbfounded, she saw Su Jinyan whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She is no longer like before, she is as thin as a bone, her face is sallow, her hair has lost its luster, the strands of her hair are messy and scattered on her shoulders, and the ends of her hair are withered and yellow, like a mess of grass.

Su Jinluo vaguely recalled her former appearance, always glamorous, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a cluster of flowers.
