Chapter 97 Are you familiar with him?
"Why, my nephew doesn't want to?"

Chu Jiangsu propped his head and looked at them with a half-smile.

Shu Jicheng's expression tossed and debated, and the hands under his sleeves loosened or tightened: "Don't dare." He lowered his eyes and replied quietly, "The emperor's uncle is indeed an elder in terms of age, and this tea should be respected."

Turning his head and giving the person next to him a wink, Fu Yunli knew it, and called the maidservant to prepare tea. Soon, the tea was served and placed in the hands of Shu Jicheng and Fu Yunli respectively. Fu Yunli stepped forward and walked up to Chu Jiangsu, bowing his head respectfully Respectfully handed over the tea: "Uncle Emperor, please use tea."

Chu Jiangsu raised his hand to take it and took a sip.

Shu Jicheng came forward with a teacup: "Uncle Emperor, you use tea."

The tone is flat, and there is no emotion.

Chu Jiang Su quietly looked at the celadon-glazed white porcelain cup in front of him, propped his head as if he suddenly remembered something: "I heard that your elder brother died on the battlefield, right?"

Shu Jicheng's fingertips trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Brother has been dead for many years, why did Uncle Huang suddenly want to ask this?"

"It's nothing, just seeing you suddenly feeling a little emotional." Chu Jiangsu said slowly, "When His Majesty was healthy, your favorite child was your elder brother. At that time, their father and son fought in the battlefield and conquered many city soldiers. Later, His Majesty ascended the throne. , your eldest brother who is the most promising candidate for the crown prince died, heh, it is interesting."

Shu Jicheng still didn't show any emotion on his face: "Even if the elder brother is dead, the position of the crown prince is still not for me. Instead of expressing emotion here, the emperor might as well think about how to find the fifth younger brother."

"What's the hurry, aren't you looking for this?" Shu Jicheng took Shu Jicheng's tea but didn't drink it, put it on the table and got up, walked straight past him and Fu Yunli and walked out of the front hall.

Ye Ling, who had been waiting outside the gate, saw Chu Jiangsu come out, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Master, I have searched all the places you mentioned, and found nothing unusual."

Chu Jiangsu frowned: "There is no trace at all?"

Ye Ling thought for a moment, and replied: "If I have to say something, the decorations in the study of the Second Highness seem to be damaged, but my subordinates have checked, and it is not the location of some institution."

"No, that's enough."

Chu Jiang Su's eyes were cold, and a mocking yet gloomy smile was raised on the corner of his mouth. He turned his head to look at the couple who walked out of Xu Bu, and said to Shu Jicheng, "Recently, the courtiers have been admiring my nephew. Tell the emperor if you are interested."

Shu Jicheng didn't know what he wanted to do again. He lowered his eyes and wanted to refuse, but there was a sudden weight on his shoulders.

"It's rare for the Marquis to be interested, you won't refuse, right?"

The hand on the shoulder was in vain, and Shu Jicheng couldn't help but lower his back a little bit. He frowned and tried to resist, but he was pressed even lower and couldn't move.

"Since the emperor thinks, that's naturally good." He lowered his eyes to cover his gloomy expression, and murmured.

Chu Jiangsu withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and strode forward first.

"Husband..." Fu Yunli called softly, Shu Jicheng shook his head and turned to follow.

The elegant study room is neat and tidy, with huge bookcases lined left and right filled with all kinds of bamboo scrolls and books, especially the one next to the desk that covers the entire wall.

Chu Jiangsu casually picked up the book and flipped it in his hand, then put it back, and looked up and down with his hands behind his back.

"If there is a book that the emperor likes, you can take it out and read it slowly."

"No." Chu Jiangsu shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to a bonsai next to him, "Is this green plant like this before?"

The topic changed so quickly that Shu Jicheng was stunned for a moment.

The green plant in the pot is a very common Wannian pine, with lush and green branches and leaves. In order to increase the interest, there are also some carvings as decorations. However, one of the decorations that resembles a tower seems to be lacking something.

Shu Jicheng didn't understand what was missing, let alone why Chu Jiangsu's attention was focused on such an inconspicuous place. He was puzzled, but he also thought about it and replied: "It should be someone who accidentally damaged the house when cleaning it up. It's not something particularly valuable, so my nephew didn't take it to heart."

"yes……"

Chu Jiangsu withdrew his hand again, staring at the bookcase in front of him without saying a word.

……

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

The sound of the iron chains colliding was crisp and cold. Shu Nuo crouched next to Shu Zhenyuan, twisted the keyhole on the iron chain so hard that his cheeks began to twist.

"Give it up, the second child will not hand over the key to open the iron chain to others."

Shu Zhenyuan held the oil lamp in his left hand and put his face in his right hand, looking at the people who frequently struggled with the iron chains and slowly opened his mouth to remind him.

Shu Nuo couldn't help cursing inwardly, dropped the key chain in his hand, and sat down next to Shu Zhenyuan: "The food delivery man is dead, we have to get out before Shu Jicheng finds out, or..."

"Either the possibility of being completely ruined, or starving to death in this underground place where no one cares about, but I think the second possibility is the greatest."

Shu Nuo pulled the corners of her lips and said nothing, she planned to untie Shu Zhenyuan's chain and explore the secret prison together with him to find a way to get out, but looking at it now, this free labor did not fall from the sky.

"But it's also strange." Shu Nuo's silence did not dispel Shu Zhenyuan's enthusiasm for communication, and continued to mutter with his face propped up, "According to the second child's vigilant temperament, I'm afraid he would have to wait a few seconds for the delivery person to go back." Call me over to ask what's going on, why hasn't he moved at all after such a long time."

Shu Nuo replied casually: "Maybe he was stopped by Chu Jiangsu."

"Chu Jiangsu? Is he still alive?"

Shocked by Shu Zhenyuan's sudden words, Shu Nuo couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end. He turned his head to look at him, only to see that under the faint candlelight, those sharp eyes were actually a bit murderous.

She was startled in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Yes, and according to the emperor's will, we still have to call him uncle."

"A traitor and a sycophant, a minister with a distant relative, no wonder it's cold, hum!"

Hearing his dissatisfied tone, Shu Nuo's eyelids trembled violently, feeling doubts in his heart, he approached Shu Zhenyuan and said tentatively: "From what the elder brother said, it seems that he is quite familiar with Chu Jiangsu."

"Who knows him well?!" Shu Zhenyuan replied subconsciously, but when he saw Shu Nuo staring at him with big eyes, he felt a little embarrassed, "You see, I'm useless, I'm an Israeli servant, When my father made an exception to let him enter the barracks, I thought he was not a good bird, a big old man who looks like a sissy doesn't say anything, and still shows a cold face every day who owes him 800 million, I'm sorry!"

Shu Nuo: Although, but... how can she agree with her?
but……

"Israel serves people?" She frowned. Generally speaking, this word would not be used as a curse.
