Chapter 28 Competition
After returning home, it was late at night, Su Jinluo took a few deep breaths to calm down, and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the room was brightly lit, and Su Liangce was sitting at the main seat, while his elder brother was restlessly hiding in the room, seeing her, his expression suddenly relaxed.

He hurried forward and said, "You're really worried about me! What happened in Zuixian Tower just now?"

"Didn't the First Prince tell you?"

"Say it," Su Rui'an looked at Su Jinluo's face turning pale, raised his hand and said, "Housekeeper, find a doctor!"

"It's just that I met an assassin and fell into the water. It's not a serious problem, brother, don't worry."

Su Jinluo's attitude was calm and calm, but Su Liangce was not so calm. He got up and said in surprise: "Meet an assassin? Fell into the water? Could it be that those dead men did it?"

Su Jinluo said in relief: "Father, when I went out today, I specially brought someone to follow, I didn't expect that the servants of the Su family were also very skilled, they were not fish in the pond, and they helped a lot when catching the assassin! "

"Confused." Su Liangce shook his head and said, "The dead man is running for the life of the eldest prince. He can kill the dead and break the net under extreme circumstances. If you are injured in any way, what can you call your parents..."

Su Liangce had lingering fears in his heart, so he asked the doctor to take his pulse, and after making sure that he was not hurt, he was relieved.

On the other side, Su Jinyan succeeded in provocation, and returned to the East Palace very happily, hugged Xuanyuan Lang from behind, and said in a low voice: "My lord, today I have finished the matter according to your order, what reward will I have?"

Against the backdrop of the candlelight, her eyes were filled with autumn water, both lustful and seductive, but Xuanyuan Lang had an indifferent face and said with a sneer, "Do you still have the face to ask for credit?"

Hearing his tone, it was obvious that things hadn't been done.

Su Jinyan's expression froze, she sat up straight, and said aggrievedly: "But I did everything you said..."

This matter had nothing to do with her, even though Xuanyuan Lang was displeased, he didn't continue to pursue it, saying: "Get out, it's late at night."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and left, Su Jinyan grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, and said with tears in her eyes: "Is the prince only a temporary novelty to me?"

Xuanyuan Lang looked down at her and said, "Are you blaming me for being heartless and ungrateful?"

Su Jinyan bit her lower lip and said nothing. Xuanyuan Lang's gaze was unprecedentedly indifferent, and he said softly, "When I married you, I loved you very much, but who made Miss Su want to annoy this king?"

After some accusations, he finally left. Su Jinyan sat on the ground with a look of despair.

Xuanyuan Lang's kindness to her is like snow in his hand, which quickly melts into water, and he can't grasp it.

Thinking of what she saw at night, Su Jinyan gritted her teeth and thought bitterly: Why?Why did Su Jinluo win the favor of so many men without doing anything, and even make the eldest prince and Prince Xu jealous of her... What kind of coquettish method did she use!
Su Jinyan was so angry that she was dazed, and after a while, she called a palace maid.

"I heard that you like to hang out with the nuns in other palaces, drink and gamble, and discuss political affairs indiscriminately."

The palace lady thought she was about to reveal something to the east window, so she was so frightened that her knees limp on the ground, begging for trouble: "Princess, forgive me, this servant is just deceived by lard for a while, relying on the fact that the relatives in the family are the chief executive, so I behaved mischievously, and I will definitely not do it in the future." No more bets."

When she begged for mercy, she deliberately left some leeway for herself, and mentioned the reason for being so arrogant and domineering. Naturally, Su Jinyan didn't ask her to come here for the sake of provoking the teacher.

"I didn't say I wanted to blame you."

Su Jinyan smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "I will tell you something, and spread it in the air tomorrow. If it can reach the ears of the emperor, I will reward you greatly."

The palace maid put her ear close to her suspiciously, and after listening to her whisper for a while, her expression suddenly brightened, and she said: "Princess, don't worry, this servant will definitely be able to handle it well."

It was so peaceful for three or two days.

Last time after Su Jinluo bid farewell angrily, Xuanyuan Yun sent a gift to Su Rui'an early the next morning, hoping that he could pass it on for him.

However, Su Rui'an was the younger sister who went looking for her empty-handed. He also heard from Qiuchun that the two princes were jealous of Su Jinluo on the street that day.

"The weather will be fine in a few days, why don't you go hunting with my brother?"

Su Jinluo didn't care about hunting, shook his head and said, "No."

She noticed that there was a difference in Su Rui'an's expression, so she guessed: "Big brother wants to call the eldest prince at the same time?"

Su Rui'an's mind was guessed by his younger sister, so he was a little embarrassed, without hiding it, and asked, "Then what do you think, how is the eldest prince?"

"We're brothers and friends, we only have a relationship between two sides, so it's not good to make judgments."

Su Rui'an rested his chin on his hand and said, "Sister has grown up, and she has become more cautious when speaking, so it's not easy to fall into the trap."

"What happened that night, brother Yun must have been dazed for a while before agreeing, don't take it to heart, when we were in the military camp, he had a hot temper, and sometimes he would scold me severely in front of everyone... Tsk , Of course, I will definitely get it back in private."

Su Rui'an babbled for a while, trying to restore Xuanyuan Yun's image in her sister's heart, while Su Jinluo kept rubbing her fingers on the edge of the teacup with a calm expression, wondering if she had listened.

I thought everything was over, but the next morning morning, when Su Liangce got home, his face was gloomy.

What followed behind him was something rewarded by the emperor with a big wave of his hand.

"The news about the few of you at the wonton stall that day spread. The emperor seemed very interested. He wanted to compete with the two princes. He probably wanted to use you as a cover."

Su Liangce was very helpless and said: "They are fighting for the chance to go out with you in name, but secretly they want to test the real strength of the First Prince and King Xu. .”

"what?"

Su Jinluo was very surprised, and said: "Then what are these rewards?"

"You secretly helped the eldest prince and kept him safe and sound. Even if the murderer has not been found out for the time being, after all, the Su family has meritorious service, and it is a reward from the emperor."

Su Liangce had a headache, and sighed: "Su Jinyan's incident became like that, and it ended up being dishonorable. Thinking about it, her life in the palace was not very easy. Father just wanted to choose a good husband for you, but he just wanted to choose a good husband for you. Standing on the cusp of the storm again..."

Although he felt sorry for his daughter, Su Liangce had no choice but to send Su Jinluo to the palace as promised on the day of the competition.

Before reaching the competition venue, Su Jinluo was stopped by someone. She raised her eyes to look at the person coming, and said with displeasure: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Xu Yushan's Adam's apple rolled, he stared at her silently, and said for a long time: "If I said that that day was not intentional, Ms. Su probably won't forgive me, right?"
