Chapter 35 The Caged Bird
"It's about this time, they, I'm afraid they've all been dealt with..."

As Li Zi said, big tears rolled out of his vicissitudes of life.

Su Rui'an pursed her thin lips slightly, guessing that the people behind the scenes threatened his family, which made Li Zi have no choice but to take the risk.

Sighing, she sat down and said, "You owe the eldest prince's favor to keep your family alive during the famine, and even settled down in the capital, but now you are doing such a thing of revenge."

Su Jinluo heard that his brother wanted to play the emotional card and deceive him into admitting that he was behind the scenes, so he pointed to the bowl in front of him tacitly, and sang red face.

"Lord Li, get up and have a drink first. Don't forget, the First Prince bought the residence for your family. He will definitely keep your family safe."

After hearing this, Li Zi raised his head, almost weeping with joy, and said, "Really?"

Su Jinluo calmly said, "Why should I lie to you?"

Li Zi was speechless, and the blood rushed to his face in an instant, like a very ripe crab, he said: "I, I am really sorry for the kindness of the eldest prince, and I hate him for not taking me to the front line. There are so many, one less than me, that's why I listened to some people's slander..."

Li Zi slowly sat down at the table and picked up the still warm bowl of tremella milk soup.

Su Rui'an asked: "Whose slander did you listen to?"

Li Zi didn't answer, raised his head and poured a whole bowl of milk soup, and then said firmly: "I want to see the First Prince."

Su Rui'an frowned, "You want to know if your family is safe? Yes, I'll take you to see them, but after the matter is over, you have to come forward to denounce Xuanyuan Lang's plan to kill the emperor."

"I can not."

Li Zi said with a bitter face: "Master Su, there is no evidence, and it is useless to say anything. The second prince is very cunning. Last time he sent out dead men from Zuixianlou, in order not to be exposed, he will not survive. But I understand On the surface, the person who is always beside the eldest prince, even if he comes forward to testify, it is difficult for the emperor not to suspect that the eldest prince deliberately splashed dirty water, and that's why he told me to say this."

"Zuixian Tower?" Su Jinluo got up abruptly, and said, "Is it really what he did?"

"I just heard the rumors, and I have no evidence."

Li Zi lowered his head, embarrassed and said: "Master Su, please allow me to meet the First Prince."

Su Rui'an hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "All right, I'll take you there."

Su Rui'an didn't dare to take Li Zi with advanced martial arts skills lightly. He asked someone to come in and tie him up with a hemp rope before stuffing him into a sedan chair and planning to take him into the palace.

"Brother, what Li Zi said just now is very true. It is impossible for the emperor to believe the statement without conclusive evidence."

Su Jinluo hastily opened his mouth to remind.

Su Rui'an said calmly: "The grievances between him and the eldest prince should be discussed by him personally. I happen to have something to see the eldest prince..."

At the end, he suddenly dodged his eyes, avoiding Su Jinluo, turned around and hurried to leave.

Of course, Su Jinluo could see his brother's weirdness at a glance, so he took a small step to catch up and said, "Brother, you don't have anything to hide from me, right? If you want to ask, just ask, there is no need for any secrets between us brothers and sisters." of."

"Luoluo," Su Rui'an paused for a moment, then said with a disturbed conscience, "I see your attitude as a brother, it seems that you don't have much interest in the eldest prince, don't tell me you really don't like him?"

Su Jinluo shook his head resolutely, and said seriously: "Like depends on fate. The eldest prince treats me well, but the relationship can only stop at friends, and cannot get any closer."

Su Rui'an asked again: "How about Prince Xu?"

Su Jinluo burst into laughter and said, "Why did you ask me that, brother? Is it possible that I am so powerful that all the men around me fall in love with me?"

Su Rui'an thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the truth, but he had boasted to the eldest prince, and now that the trouble had come to an end, he was really worried that Su Jinluo wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

So he said: "By the way, younger sister, you are about to get married. After all, that one has already become the second princess. Marrying the royal family is a high marriage, and I will not wrong you."

"The eldest prince is in the limelight now. I must be the crown prince in the future. After that, how can I say that there will be three thousand beauties, beauties like clouds?" Su Jinluo explained with a smile: "Brother, don't worry about my marriage. Stay with your parents and stay in the Su residence."

"What you said is child's play."

Su Rui'an pretended to be angry and wanted to scold her, but when he looked down and saw Su Jinluo's bright eyes and white teeth, with a slight smile on his face, he couldn't get angry anymore.

"You are really annoying." Su Rui'an said in a serious tone: "No matter what choice my sister makes in the future, as the eldest brother, I will do my best to protect you safe and sound."

"Ah."

When Li Zi entered the palace, Su Jin fell back into the courtyard. Qiuchun asked puzzledly: "Miss, no matter if you are the eldest prince or Prince Xu, whichever you choose, your future will be brilliant and you will be able to occupy a high position. Sitting on the power of the sky, why not be happy?"

When Qiuchun said this, he was feeding the caged budgerigar. The parrot's hair was smooth and bright, obedient and cute. Apart from reciting a few lines of eloquent poems, the rest was eating.

Su Jinluo didn't answer Qiuchun's words directly, but said: "You open the door of the cage."

"Ah?" Qiuchun was taken aback, and said, "Miss, don't you like this parrot very much? Why did you let it fly?"

Su Jinluo didn't say a word, just watched quietly, Qiuchun had no choice but to bite the bullet and opened the door of the cage.

The parrot just lowered its head to peck at the food, but did not fly away with flapping wings.

"Even if you really move it outside, it won't fly away." Su Jinluo explained softly: "When the parrot was young, there were thin chains tied to its feet, so it couldn't fly away. Later, it got used to it. Even if he is released right now, he doesn't have the ability and courage to fly away."

There are seasonal fruits on the table, including grapes brought in as a tribute from a small border country. The purple belt is frosty, plump and fresh.

It was Su Jinluo who was in the limelight recently, and his colleagues in the officialdom specially gave it to Su's father to win him over. Su Liangce gave most of it to his beloved daughter.

"Do you see these grapes are beautiful?"

Su Jinluo picked up one in his hand, and Qiuchun nodded because he didn't understand.

"So what?"

Su Jinluo's five fingers suddenly clenched tightly, and the grapes were immediately squeezed so that the skins were separated, and the juice flowed down her wrist.

Qiuchun's eyes widened in surprise, she felt sorry for the precious grape silently, and asked in surprise, "Miss, what do you mean?"

"Pretty is of course useful, but the face itself has its own time of aging and twilight. Once I enter the palace, my destiny will be like this grape. When Your Highness likes it, hold it in the palm of your hand. When you get tired of it one day?"

"At that time, it will be like a parrot in a cage. It will be obedient and accustomed to the life in front of it, and it will never be able to fly again."
