Chapter 21
The bright moonlight fell on Xu Yushan's shoulders. He wore a green robe, and his eyes, which were colder than the moon in the sky, suddenly became warm when he saw Su Jinluo.

"Miss Su?"

"Are you coming out to breathe too?"

With a smile on the corner of Xu Yushan's mouth, he said, "I'm waiting for you specially. I haven't had a chance to thank General Su for the recommendation that day, so I'll thank Miss Su here first."

"It doesn't matter." Su Jinluo's scrutinizing eyes looked him up and down, and said: "As long as Xu Wangye sincerely makes me a friend, instead of treating the Su family as a stepping stone, it will be fine if he plays around."

Xu Yushan was puzzled by her sarcasm, "How do you say that?"

"Concubine Mei looks at you with unusual eyes, it doesn't look like she is looking at a strange prince at all."

Women's intuition has always been accurate, let alone Su Jinluo, who is delicate and exquisite, she explained the strangeness in one word.

Xu Yushan immediately guessed what she meant, and explained: "Concubine Mei was indeed helped by Zhifen Pavilion before she entered the palace, but after she was drafted into the palace, I had no interaction with her, and only met recently, except for a word of empress. , nothing more to do with it."

Su Jinluo raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

"That's natural."

After Xu Yushan explained without hesitation, he deliberately said: "However, can I ask Ms. Su why there are so many people at the banquet, why they care about me so much? The observation is detailed enough."

His tone was not questioning at all, but teasing, and with his playful eyes, it really sounded like a vagabond.

However, in Qiuchun's eyes, she became a hooligan, she stopped in front of her lady, and said: "Lonely men and widows, if someone bumps into it, it will bring a bad name to my lady, lord, we will leave first. "

The somewhat indifferent and tense atmosphere immediately became relaxed because of Qiuchun's misunderstanding. Xu Yushan opened the fan in his hand, covered half of his face with a smile and said, "This king is a gentleman, so please don't misunderstand me."

A burst of embarrassment appeared on Qiuchun's face, seeing that his young lady also had her eyebrows crooked, and stepped back in embarrassment and shyness.

Xu Yushan said: "You mentioned this, and I suddenly remembered something."

"Go ahead."

"The First Prince played a song for you just now."

Of course Su Jinluo knew about this, she said strangely: "I know, what's wrong?"

"Miss Su must be clear, Xuanyuan Yun has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and the blood in his bones has become indifferent. He will never take the initiative to get close to a woman. If you don't believe me, go back and ask Su Rui'an about Ruan Xu back then."

When the name "Ruan Xu" was mentioned, Su Jinluo only felt familiar. It took him a long time to remember that the Ruan family was the adopted daughter of the royal censor. In her previous life, she was promised to the eldest prince as a side concubine. Yuhu in the palace drowned.

At that time, Xuanyuan Lang and her had just got married, and they were quite warm, so they told her several times not to go to Yuhu for fun.

Could there be something strange about Ruan Xu's death?

"What's the matter? You just say it's okay."

Xu Yushan said: "On the eve of the first prince's expedition, there was a personal incident. The matter was of great importance. It was forced to be sealed by the emperor to prevent the news from leaking into the court and the public."

"If you want me to guess, Lord Xu's Zhifen Pavilion receives all kinds of distinguished guests on weekdays, and he must also be doing business in private."

Su Jinluo made it clear, Xu Yushan did not deny it, and continued: "I heard that there is a lady named Ruan Xu who has admired the eldest prince for a long time. She tried to get close to the prince several times, and she became malicious and poured medicine into his cup." , I want raw rice to be cooked, and I will stay by his side for a long time from then on.”

Su Jinluo frowned.

"The eldest prince accidentally fell into the trap and hated her unscrupulous methods, so before the effect of the medicine took effect, he killed the woman with a sword."

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true. Ruan Xu also dug his own grave. No matter how much Mr. Yu Shi loves that adopted daughter, he doesn't dare to contend with the emperor. This matter will be settled."

After Xu Yushan finished speaking, he reminded Su Jinluo: "The eldest prince is willing to take the initiative to approach you. He definitely has impure thoughts. It's better to be more careful."

"Ah."

Thinking of all the details since today's banquet, Su Jinluo felt that what he said made sense, and nodded his thanks.

When it was almost dawn, the carriages of the officials from all walks of life drove out of the gate of the palace and went home.

Su Rui'an was full of energy. After drinking all night, he was still in good spirits. When he was about to mount his horse, he was suddenly stopped by a familiar guard.

"Young Master Su, please stop, the First Prince has something to discuss with you."

The guard's tone was anxious, Su Rui'an subconsciously thought that Xuanyuan Yun was going to discuss matters on the battlefield with him, so he rushed to the coachman and said, "Take the eldest lady home to rest first, and I will be there later."

Then he walked towards the East Palace without looking back.

After the first prince came back, he was rewarded by the emperor and moved to the East Palace. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, and it was only a matter of time before he could be crowned the prince.

"Your Highness!"

Xuanyuan Lang pushed the door open and went in, only to see Xuanyuan Yun sitting behind the table with a dazed expression, and beckoning when he saw him.

"Master Su, do you think this king and you are friends?"

"What do you mean?" Su Rui'an asked in surprise, "Your Highness, did you get drunk from drinking?"

As he said that, he was about to reach out to touch his forehead to test the temperature.

"Don't be silly."

Xuanyuan Yun patted his hand off, hesitantly said: "Then I want to discuss something with you."

"Let's talk, there is no need for secrets between you and me."

Xuanyuan Yun whispered a few words to him in a low voice, and Su Ruian stood up abruptly, with a horrified expression on his face, "Brother Yun wants to chase my sister?"

"Hush, keep your voice down! Sit down, what are you talking about?"

Xuanyuan Yun has his own way of marching and fighting, but he is really helpless to please women.

"No wonder you asked my sister what she likes." Su Rui'an sat down cross-legged, looked up at him after a while, and said, "Brother Yun came out?"

There was something in the words, it belonged to the secret between the two, Xuanyuan Yun's expression froze, and he sighed: "It's wrong for Miss Ruan to use unscrupulous means, which makes me disgusted, but at the beginning, she was the one who jumped up to block me in a critical moment. Arrows, otherwise, on the eve of the expedition, this king will probably hide in Huangquan."

Ruan Xu's ferocious face when he was about to die appeared in front of Xuanyuan Yun, and he said intermittently: "Even if Brother Yun refuses to accept me forever, you...now...you will never forget me."

She was extreme and stubborn, and finally died of hatred.

But from the beginning to the end, it was not Xuanyuan Yun's fault, if he hadn't drank the cup of medicinal wine mixed with Ruanjin powder, he wouldn't have been so weak that he couldn't fight against the assassins.

"I remember Miss Ruan, but I never liked her, only helpless."

Hearing that he let go of his previous grudge against women, Su Rui'an couldn't help but feel happy, and said, "It would be a good thing if Brother Yun can marry my sister!"
