Chapter 32
Su Mo also chuckled: "Brother Huang is right, the main reason is that the Yi people really make me very curious. I have been idle for many years, and it is really rare to hear something that makes me interested. "

The emperor clapped his hands suddenly and said: "It's so good. I see you being lazy year after year, and I can't do anything about you. I always feel sorry for my father and queen. Now that you are interested in this Nayi clan, how about this one?" A few letters, I will leave it to you to verify."

"Brother Huang is really used to embarrassing people." Su Mo took the letters and smiled helplessly, "The officials of the two dynasties have studied the literature and history for more than ten years and have not researched the secrets, but Brother Huang asked me to take care of it." Hard work."

"All right, all right." The emperor waved his hand and said, "I just asked you to investigate. If you can't find out, I won't blame you."

When leaving the imperial study room, Su Li walked behind Su Mo, and suddenly called him: "Second brother."

Su Mo stopped and waited until the two were parallel before continuing to walk forward, and asked lightly, "Isn't it very difficult to investigate this case?"

"It's not too difficult to do it impartially." Su Li said, "It's just that as the second brother said, it will be a bit difficult to investigate because of the extensive involvement."

Su Mo responded slightly.

"Furthermore, in the vast crowd, it's not easy to find out the whereabouts of the second young lady of the Song family?" After Su Li finished speaking, he glanced at him lightly, and said, "I heard that the second brother has gone to Nanshan again these days? I don’t know if the scenery of Nanshan Mountain is unique at this time of year.”

"Of course it's very good." Su Mo replied with a smile, "Third Brother, if you have time, you can go and see it."

While he was talking, he had already walked into the imperial garden, and he could hear laughter coming from the waterside pavilion from a distance.Su Mo glanced sideways, and smiled again: "Brother has been away from Beijing for a few days, I don't know if the third brother is getting ready for something good?"

Only then did Su Li look towards the direction of the laughter, and he seemed to be able to vaguely see Jing Hao's figure, but he just sneered: "Second brother, does it mean that I still have that leisurely mood?"

Unexpectedly, Su Mo replied: "Well, it's good to take a while."

When Su Mo returned to the mansion, Rong Yue was still in his garden. Seeing her, he smiled: "Are you really still here?"

Rong Yue stood up and waited for him to sit down, and said with a light smile: "Although Jinse doesn't want my concubine to accompany her, but since the prince ordered it, why did I leave like this for so long?"

Su Mo shook her hand and sat down: "If you are not so considerate, what will I do?"

Rong Yue walked around to the position behind him with a smile, and rubbed his shoulders for him: "It must be very hard to come back from this journey, right?"

Su Mo picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip. It was a little hot. He frowned slightly, but then laughed again: "It's not as hard as you are taking care of a palace."

Rong Yue paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "My lord brought Jinse back, is...has something been decided?"

"What do you think?" Su Mo said calmly as he blew on the slightly hot tea in his eyes.

Rong Yue thought for a moment, then Fang said: "Naturally it is difficult at this time, but as early as in the past, the concubine can see that the prince treats Jinse differently."

Su Mo heard the words, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Tell me, why is it different?"

"Probably... I like it?" Rong Yue said softly, "My lord treats Jinse well, which is always different from others. But although it is different, it doesn't seem to be much better, which shows how much my lord likes her." , and it’s not too thick.”

It's a liking that is different from others, but it doesn't go anywhere.

These words were really contradictory, but Su Mo smiled faintly, and sighed softly: "Rongyue——"

"What's the use of calling my concubine?" Rong Yue said with a light smile, "Right now, let's deal with the matter of Marquis An Ding first. Otherwise, once Jinse is implicated, things will be bad."

Before Su Mo could speak, Jin Se's soft voice suddenly came from the bedroom door: "You are back."

When he looked back, he saw Jinse standing at the door, holding the door frame with his hands, still looking at him with the same expression before he left.

Seeing this, Rong Yue withdrew the hand that was pressing Su Mo's shoulder, and said with a light smile, "That concubine will leave first."

Su Mo nodded, Rong Yue smiled at Jinse again, and then left Su Mo's garden.

"Come here." Su Mo then waved to Jinse.

Jinse was still wearing the servant's clothes, walked over and sat beside him, her eyes were crystal clear but empty: "Have you seen my father?"

Su Mo shook his head slightly, reached out and stroked Jinse's head: "Jinse, do you still remember your mother?"

Jin Se was startled: "What's the matter with my mother?"

"You were only two years old when your mother died, right?" Su Mo asked again without answering.

Jinse looked at him and nodded.

Su Mo slowly took out a few letters from the imperial study from his sleeve, unfolded one of them, and put it in front of Jinse: "Then when you were young, did you ever see this kind of writing?"

Jinse took it and only glanced at it, then her expression changed.

"I have seen it..." Jinse said in a low voice, "I have indeed seen it."

Seeing this, Su Mo gently held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Where did you see it?"

Jinse's face was slightly pale, and she frowned and thought: "It seems that when I was very young, my mother once showed me these words."

"Then do you recognize what is written on it?"

Jinse shook her head: "I don't know. I was too young at that time, so I just had a vague impression. What are these?"

Su Mo paused, then said, "That's Yiwen."

"Then...then Yiwen?" Jinse still didn't understand, "What does that have to do with my father?"

"When the first emperor was still alive, the Nayi clan was killed by the whole clan for the crime of intending to rebel. It was because of a legend that in the hands of the Nayi clan, there was a treasure book called "Records of the World", in which there was a book that would rule the world. Secret. This is undoubtedly a threat to the rule of Qingyue, so the first emperor ordered that all the people of the Fannai tribe should not leave a trace of blood."

Jinse heard what he said, obviously still confused, but her face became paler and paler.

"Since the Nayi language is a unique language of the Nayi people, it should disappear from this world after there are no Nayi people left." Su Mo said the most important sentence calmly.

Jinse only felt a "boom" in her head, as if something had collapsed.

She stood up abruptly: "You mean, my mother—"

She couldn't speak, and there was no trace of blood on her face, she just looked at him.

how so?She originally thought that Su Li's fault was the cause of her father's accident, so she thought that if there was really no other way, she would ask Su Li.But I didn't expect it to be related to my mother's life experience!
If the mother was from Nayi, wouldn't the father who led the troops to suppress the Nayi people commit a serious crime of deceiving the emperor?And she herself, since Nayiren's blood is also flowing on her body, will she be just as doomed as the Nayi people?
That night, it rained moderately, until dawn, Jinse could still hear the sound of water dripping from the eaves outside the house.

She kept her eyes open all night, and finally waited until dawn before she sat up from the bed, opened the door and went out, only to find that the garden was empty.

Although this is Su Mo's garden, he didn't stay here last night, leaving her here alone.Jinse naturally knew that he was doing it for her own good, but thinking of what Rongyue said yesterday, a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

Although I like it, but that love is not so heavy.

She stood under the eaves for a while, and finally a maid came in a hurry: "This servant helps the girl to wash up."

Jinse suddenly felt a little strange.The mother is Nayiren, so even the second mother and the third and fourth brothers are implicated, let alone her daughter who is in the same line as her mother?At this moment, she might have already become the daughter of a wanted criminal minister, but Su Mo put her in the mansion so blatantly, isn't she afraid that something will happen?
"Do you know who I am?" Jinse suddenly asked the maid.

"I don't know." The maid smiled and led Jinse back into the room, untied her hair and combed it deftly.

Jin Se looked at her pale self in the mirror, and smiled faintly: "Then aren't you curious?"

The maid smiled again: "Where is it our turn to ask about the prince's matter? In short, the servants will do what the prince orders. Because the prince always gets up late, and he didn't know the girl was up before." It was so early that I neglected the girl, please don't take offense."

As expected of Su Mo who has seen countless people, even a maid in the mansion is so clever.Jinse thought to herself, her face suddenly became paler.

Seeing this, the maid came over with rouge, and was about to put on makeup for Jinse, when Jinse caught a glimpse, but suddenly stopped her and said, "There is no need for this."

The maid didn't ask why, she put away the rouge with a slight smile, and continued to tidy Jinse's hair.

Suddenly there was a light knock at the door of the room, and Jinse turned her eyes to see that Su Mo was standing at the door, looking at her with a smile: "Wake up so early?"

For some reason, Jin Se suddenly felt that after returning to the capital, it was difficult for the two of them to be as close as they were in Nanshan Town.Although he still treats her well, Jinse always feels that there is a kind of quiet unfamiliarity between the two of them.It's just that she doesn't know whether this strangeness comes from herself or him.

"I have something to ask you." Jinse said suddenly.

Su Mo walked into the room, waved the maid back, and then stood still in front of Jinse, bending slightly: "What?"

"Will you save my father for me?"

Su Mo nodded: "That's natural."

"I mean, will you wholeheartedly and spare no effort to save my father?" She tilted her head slightly, her face was pale and thin, and the radiance of a girl in the past was gone now.

Su Mo paused, but still nodded: "Yes."

"Even if this matter, or me alone, will bring you a disaster of killing your life, you will still do it?" She looked at his face with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Survival?" Su Mo suddenly laughed lowly, "Since I promised you that I will spare no effort, how could there be any fatal disaster?"

Jinse stared at him blankly for a moment, then suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged his neck, Su Mo straightened up immediately, she hung on his neck, stood on tiptoe, buried her face in the socket of his neck, The voice is slightly wet: "Thank you."

"Silly girl." Su Mo stroked her head, "Breakfast is ready, let's go out and have some."

Sitting at the table, Jinse had just had two mouthfuls of porridge when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps from outside.She was too familiar with the footsteps, so she immediately dropped the spoon and ran to the door, and sure enough, she collided with the rushing Luhe.

"Luhe!" Jinse yelled, "Why did you come here!"

"Miss!" Lu He's eyes turned red almost instantly, she held her face in her hands, looked at Jin Se for a long time, and said, "I knew it, you will definitely come back safely."

Seeing this, Su Mo stood up, walked over and said to Jinse: "I'm going into the palace, you and Lu He stay in the mansion well."

Jinse nodded, and then he nodded slightly to Lvhe and walked away.

As soon as Su Mo came out of the garden, Luhe immediately pulled Jinse into the room, closed the door, and looked at Jinse with a serious expression: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What?" Jinse was slightly at a loss.

"Disappeared without a sound." Lu He looked at her, "Did you deliberately lure him to Nanshan to find you?"

After a long time, Jinse regained a tinge of blood on her face, and became pale again. After a long time, she chuckled lightly.

Lu He is indeed Lu He, so smart, knowing her so well, no matter what she does, she can't hide it from her.

"I feel it's wrong since you insisted on reconciling with Li." Lu He held her hand tightly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Luhe." Jinse called softly, "You will understand later."

"I don't understand! You put your name on your innocence, what exactly do you want to do, I want you to tell me!" Lu He grabbed her arms and said emotionally, "Do you know if If I didn't look for him that day, he wouldn't come to you at all! You almost died outside and no one cares about you! You'd rather gamble with your own life, I really don't know what you're going to do..."

"Green lotus!" Jinse closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of silence.She held Luhe with her backhand, and said in a low voice: "Now, don't ask about those anymore, okay? Now I just want to rescue Dad and Erniang, and let's not talk about anything else, okay?"

Lvhe paused for a long time, and seemed to finally let go of that side for the time being, and said in a low voice: "The evidence is convincing, it is impossible for you to rely on the second master alone to save the master."

"I know." Jinse turned her eyes slightly, with a distressed expression, "But what can I do? It's a big deal, I will ask Su Li when the time comes."

"You're crazy!" Lu He said urgently.

"Let him beat me and scold me, I just beg him to help me this time." Jin Se shook her head at her and said firmly.

The weather was still bad that day, and at noon, it rained again, mixed with the occasional thunder, which was clearly a sign of summer, but it only made people feel cold in the heart.

Jinse stood under the eaves watching the dripping rain, not knowing what she was thinking.Lu He came out of the house, took a thin cloak and put it on her, sighed and said: "Now that you are so weak, I am really worried."

Jinse suddenly remembered his father's merciless dozen lashes that day, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Did he expect today to come and drive her out of the house on purpose?But why should the innocent second mother and third and fourth brothers be implicated, but she, who has no possibility of escape, should be protected?

Except for the sound of rain, when everything was quiet, a few people came slowly, covered with tarpaulin umbrellas, at the gate of the garden.

It wasn't until someone walked into the eaves and took off the umbrella that Jinse realized that it was Rong Yue who was in the lead, and behind her stood an old man with white hair and a young eunuch. He also carried a medicine box.

"Jinse, this is the imperial doctor Liang, the prince brought you from the palace to heal your wound." Rong Yue stepped forward and said with a smile, "You are not in good health, so don't stand here as the wind blows, go into the house .”

Even the imperial doctor has been invited, is Su Mo really not afraid that the news about her being in his residence will leak out?Jinse was thinking in a daze.

But Rong Yue seemed to see what she was thinking, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry, Imperial Doctor Liang has always had a very good relationship with the prince, and he is someone he can trust. Since the prince has settled you here, he will definitely Get everything in order, and you won't be in any danger."

Hearing this, Jinse just laughed in a daze: "Thank you."

In fact, in those few days in Nanshan Town, she took medicinal baths every day, and the wound was no longer as painful as before. It was just that after hearing about her father, she delayed the treatment, so that now, The wound seemed to have returned to its former state.

Doctor Liang's medical skills are really excellent. After checking the wounds on Jinse's hands and feet, he has already revealed the injury, prescribed medicine for Jinse to take a bath, and personally prepared the medicine and asked Jinse to smear the wound every day. It was delayed until the evening before leaving.

Jin Se watched Rong Yue send him out with all her heart, then turned to Lu He and said, "Look at this side princess, isn't she a very nice person?"

"He is a thoughtful and meticulous person." Lu He said lightly, "As for whether it is good or not, it's not good to judge if you know people and don't know the heart."

"At least she treats me very well on the surface." Jin Se frowned slightly, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, "But my heart is full of defenses. Lu He, why do I always feel that the It seems that none of them can be trusted?"

"Stop thinking about it." Lu He hurriedly said, "It's because too many things have happened to you during this period that you feel a little confused. It's not a big deal."

At night, Su Mo did not return home for a long time, Jinse lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.When she suddenly heard a slight noise from outside, she sat up.

The lights in the study room were on.

Jinse stepped forward quietly, and slowly pushed open the door of the study.

Su Mo was sitting under the candle and flipping through something. He just raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing that it was Jinse, he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Jinse didn't answer, and went straight to him: "What are you looking at?"

"I transcribed those letters from your mother to see if I have any clues after I wrote them once." Su Mo raised his hand, and smoothed the hair beside Jinse's ear.

Jinse just lowered her head and stared blankly at the weird characters he copied out, something suddenly popped up in her mind, and said in a low voice: "Tianxiazhi..."

Su Mo's brows moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at her: "What did you say?"

Jinse also felt strange.When she read the letters written by her mother herself, she was still at a loss, but at this moment, she suddenly recognized a few of them.So she stretched out her hand and pointed to a few of the pile of characters: "These three characters are Tianxiazhi."

Su Mo frowned and pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen, and quickly connected the three characters "under the heavens" with the three unfamiliar strings.

"Why did Tianxia Zhi be mentioned in the letter left by my mother?" Jinse asked in a daze.

Su Mo shook his head lightly and smiled: "Unfortunately, you only recognize these three."

Jinther paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at him and said, "Are you very interested in this Tianxia Chronicle?"

Su Mo looked at her for a moment, then Fang smiled and said, "I really want to see what's going on, but if I can't see it, I won't feel regretful."

"I thought you would want this world too." Jinther paused and added, "Same as Su Li."

Su Mo lowered his eyes faintly, looked at the characters again, and said, "Everyone has his own ambition."

For a while, both of them fell silent, and Jinse stood beside him, his face gradually turned blank again.

After a while, Su Mo looked up at her, reached out and held her hand, pulled her into the wide chair, and sat with him.

"Smile." He stretched out his hand and pinched her face lightly, "I haven't seen you smile for a long time."

In the past, she really loved to laugh, no matter if she smiled real or fake, her clear eyes were always curved like a crescent moon, occasionally mixed with a hint of cunning, which made people's hearts itchy uncontrollably.

But now, Jinse can't laugh no matter what.

She looked at him and tried hard for a long time to curl the corners of her mouth, but in the end she only showed an expression uglier than crying.

Su Mo laughed, but Jinse cried slowly.

Finally, she buried herself in his arms recklessly, and confided with difficulty: "I'm scared, I'm very scared... Daddy will... The third and fourth younger brothers are still young, and the second mother is also innocent—"

Su Mo stretched out his arms to embrace her, and after a low reply, Fang said, "Don't be afraid. Since I promised you, I will definitely rescue them."

Jin Se also seemed to know that she shouldn't cry, so after a while, she tried her best to stop her tears, leaned against his arms for a long time, and suddenly called him: "Su Mo."

Now that he has gradually gotten used to her calling him like this, he responded in a low voice.

"If I say, I want to see Daddy, will it be difficult for you?" She tried her best to suppress the wetness in her throat, and asked.

Su Mo paused, then chuckled lightly: "Smile, I'll take you to see Marquis Song tomorrow."

Jinse was stunned: "Really?"

But he didn't want her to smile anymore, he just stretched out his hand to help her up: "Go over earlier and rest, and I'll take you there tomorrow night."
