The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 36 Jade Thin Sandalwood Light Infinite Hate (1)
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the scorching sun is scorching the earth day by day, even the big trees in the imperial garden seem to be wilting.

Su Li went all the way from the Imperial Garden to the Shoukang Palace. The guards outside the palace gate were a little bit downhearted. When they saw him, they cheered up hurriedly. They thought they would be punished like before, but never thought about it. But Su Li walked straight into the palace gate as if he didn't see them.

The inside of the main hall was much cooler than the outside, but as soon as Su Li walked in and heard the laughter coming from inside, he suddenly felt a little more irritable than walking under the sun.

Hearing the servant's announcement, the Empress Dowager's voice came from the inner hall: "It's King Ning who is here? Why don't you come in?"

Su Li didn't raise his gloomy face, but walked in anyway.

In the hall, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the soft couch at the top, but there were two people sitting at the bottom, one was Murong Jinghao, and the other was Zhou Yun, the eldest daughter of General Zhou.When the two saw him, they both got up and saluted: "See King Ning."

"You don't need to be too polite." Su Li responded lightly, walked to the left side of the empress dowager and sat down.

The queen mother glanced at him and said: "What's the matter, why is your face so ugly?"

After speaking, seeing a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he took a silk cloth to wipe it off for him.

Su Li frowned to avoid it, and said, "It's getting hotter, it's not a big deal."

"You don't know it's a big deal, why are you so cold?" The queen mother said slightly displeased, "I called you here today to discuss a happy event, but you look like this, there is no need to frighten Jinghao!"

Hearing this, Jing stood up hurriedly, and said with a warm smile: "The weather is hot, and people's tempers are naturally bad. Otherwise, how can our subjects in Zhongli be famous for their hot temper? I think it will be a bit sudden for Qingyue to enter summer this year. It's not unusual for the prince to get used to it yet. Why don't I go and prepare a glass of iced drink for the prince? The weather in Zhongli is hotter, so I'm pretty good at it."

The queen mother laughed: "I didn't expect that Jinghao would cook and eat, so Ai's family would like to try it."

Su Li sat in the same place silently and didn't answer, as if he didn't hear the two of them talking.

Jing looked at him, then lowered her body and said, "Then I'll go get ready."

Zhou Yun also stood up at this time: "The Queen Mother, the ministers also go to help."

The queen mother nodded and smiled, very satisfied: "Go, don't work too hard."

The two retreated together, and apart from the Queen Mother's personal servants, there were only mother and son left in the hall.

Su Li still looked a little absent-minded, the Queen Mother's face darkened slightly, and said displeasedly: "What do you look like? Who are you showing your face to?"

"The minister is not targeting the queen mother." Su Li said lightly.

"The Ai family knows why you are." The queen mother sneered, "Isn't it because of the girl from the Song family being thrown into the sky prison? The Ai family knew that you couldn't let her go. One is over. She is a descendant of Nayi, so she must die, and you have given up on Aijia, so forget about her as soon as possible!"

As soon as the words fell, there was another announcement from outside——

"King Qin is here!"

Su Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the door of the inner hall, and the Empress Dowager also slightly eased her expression.

Su Mo wore a moon-white dress, walked in waving a folding fan, and sighed, "It's still cool in the queen mother's palace, but the poisonous sun outside is really hot to death!"

The queen mother chuckled lightly: "If you think it's too hot, don't run around all day long, come to the palace to talk with Ai's family!"

"Yes." Su Mo replied with a smile, "I will definitely come here more often in the future."

He sat down casually below, and Su Li looked at him, and called faintly: "Second brother."

"The third brother is here too?" Su Mo replied with a faint smile, "I don't know why the queen mother passed the children into the palace today?"

"The Ai family is most worried, what else can it be?" The queen mother sighed while holding her forehead, "A few days ago, I said that there was a lot of bad luck in the palace, and I wanted to throw a happy event for you to counteract the bad luck, but I didn't expect the happy event to be held yet. , What happened again! It’s really a monster and a disaster for the country!”

Su Li's face suddenly sank, and Su Mo frowned slightly and smiled: "Queen, calm down."

After a short pause, the Queen Mother continued: "Now the matter of Marquis Song has finally come to an end. The Ai family has passed on the two of you entering the palace. I just want to confirm with you. This big wedding should be put on the schedule in advance. , otherwise, it’s too late, and I really don’t know what troubles will happen.”

Su Mo nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter, my son is also planning to discuss this matter with the queen mother."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother finally laughed again, "Then tell me what you mean."

"The son's mansion has been vacant for many years, but there is indeed a need for a concubine. The son has thought about it and plans to let Rongyue take this position."

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly changed, Su Li also raised his eyes, and gave Su Mo a faint look.

"Rong Yue has been with my son-in-law for many years, and knows his mind best. Over the years, he has managed the palace in an orderly manner. If my son-in-law remarries the concubine, although Rong Yue is magnanimous, it is inevitable that my son will treat her well." She felt guilty, and she didn't have to hurt the couple's relationship, so she asked the queen mother to allow the son." Su Mo lowered his eyes slightly and said.

After all, the queen mother's face was still not very good-looking: "Although what you said is reasonable, how should General Zhou explain it? It is almost spread among the people that you are going to marry Miss Zhou's family. Now if you don't marry for no reason, you will let her What's the face of the girl?"

"It's just that I don't want to marry the concubine." Su Mo's eyes twitched slightly, and he said with a smile, "If the queen mother is happy, and General Zhou is willing, the minister is very willing to marry Miss Zhou as his side concubine. Even if... marry at the same time Shuangshu, it's okay."

The Empress Dowager's face became even uglier in an instant, she closed her eyes and held her forehead again.

Su Li sneered suddenly, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes: "Second brother will really enjoy the blessing of being equal to everyone."

Su Mo raised the fan in his hand and said, "In life, the most important thing is to live a happy life."

While talking, Zhou Yun had already personally brought two bowls of ice cups into the hall, and when he saw Su Mo, he was overjoyed, a faint blush appeared on his face, and before he had time to put down the things in his hands, he saluted him: "I have seen King Qin."

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Miss Zhou doesn't need to be too polite."

Only then did Zhou Yun stand up straight again and said: "Princess Jinghao and I made this ice cup together. I thought King Qin hadn't come yet, so I brought two bowls first, and I will go get it for King Qin."

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and put two bowls of ice cups in front of the Queen Mother and Su Li respectively, suddenly seeing the Empress Dowager looked uneasy, her heart tightened slightly: "Queen Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

The queen mother glanced at Su Mo, her complexion became more and more bad, she didn't even bother to say anything, she just waved her hand slightly.

Zhou Yun was a little hesitant for a moment, looked at the Queen Mother, and then at Su Li, only to feel that there was a strange look on the faces of the two of them, and couldn't help but look back at Su Mo, only to see that Su Mo had stood up: "Miss Zhou, can you Take a step to speak?"

A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, but she still smiled and handed the tray to the maid next to her, and followed Su Mo to the side hall to talk.

When Jinghao walked over from the small kitchen holding the remaining ice cups, she only saw Zhou Yunhong rushing out of the side hall with eyes wide open, and went outside Shoukang Palace without looking back, as if she never looked back.

Jing Hao was suspicious in her heart, but suddenly saw Su Mo walking out of the side hall slowly, and suddenly understood the general idea in her heart, she bowed slightly to Su Mo: "I have seen King Qin."

Su Mo raised his hand to help her: "The princess is a distinguished guest, so you don't need to be polite."

Jinghao moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn't say anything.

The two were about to enter the hall together, when a figure hurriedly ran into the outside, it was Qing Chu.

Qingchu didn't know where he came from, but he was sweating profusely. When he saw the two of them, he immediately restrained his movements, and smiled at Su Mo obediently: "Second brother." Then he looked at Jinghao again, without hesitation He called out "sister-in-law"!
"Princess Qingchu, don't make fun of me." Jinghao blushed immediately, turned and walked into the hall.

Su Mo slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and when he was about to turn around and go in, Qing Chu suddenly grabbed his arm: "Second brother, wait a minute!"

Su Mo turned his head, his eyes lightly passed over her hand: "What's the matter?"

Qingchu hurriedly let go of her hand, pouted slightly and said, "Second brother is the most unfriendly!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll just go in." Su Mo raised his foot and walked in.

"Second brother, do you know where Song Heng is now?" Qing Chu hurriedly stopped him, and blurted out.

"Song Heng?" Su Mo frowned slightly, looking at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Second brother, don't lie to me!" Qing Chu said, "Everyone knows that when the Marquis of Anding was captured by Hefu, Song Jinse was nowhere to be seen, and second brother was not in the capital either. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the two of you are together. Yes, that is, I worked hard to help you hide it from your mother. Song Heng and Song Jinse are so good, Song Jinse must know where he is going, but now she is locked in the sky prison, no one can see, and I have no way to ask him, so I came here Ask the second brother!"

A slight change suddenly appeared in Su Mo's eyes: "You really care about Song Heng so much?"

Qing Chu said without changing his face: "Of course it is true!"

"Okay." Su Mo lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll show you a clear way to find it in the south."

"You really know!" Qingchu was overjoyed for a moment, thought for a while, but frowned slightly, "But the south is so big, where can I find it?"

Su Mo closed his eyes slightly, and Fang faintly uttered two words: "Zhongli."

In the depths of the dungeon, in a dark, sultry but humid cell, Jinse was locked up.

At this moment, she was holding a small stone, struggling to write something on the limestone wall of the dungeon, letting the sweat soak her whole body.

Finally tired of writing, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, half of her hand was immediately wet.

Suddenly remembered that when she was very young, her father once told her the difference between heaven and dungeon, Jinse couldn't help laughing, if she were locked in the dungeon where ordinary people were detained, it would be much cooler.

The patrolling guard who passed by her prison glanced at her, and couldn't help but sighed to her partner: "Are you really crazy?"

"Crazy?" Another person interjected, "I don't think she's crazy, she was stupid from the beginning. Otherwise, how could any woman do such a thing, and make peace with the prince in front of the civil and military officials of the court? If it weren't for her Such behavior has angered King Ning, and Marquis An Ding may not necessarily die this time."

Jinse listened to their chatter, and wrote the word "Su Li" on the ground with small stones.

"But I heard that she insisted on reconciling because of King Qin..." Speaking of the word "King Qin", the speaker's voice lowered slightly, but it was too quiet in the dungeon, and it was still heard clearly in Jinse's ears "But now, the King of Qin has helped his side princess to become the first princess, but he doesn't seem to care about this one at all. This is probably enough to drive her crazy!"

"The side concubine of the King of Qin has become the concubine of the first line?" The other person was surprised, "It was not a legend before, is it true that the King of Qin is going to marry the daughter of General Zhou?"

"You don't know about this. I heard from my distant relative who was a servant in the palace that King Qin and Concubine Side were very affectionate and did not want to marry another. He said that if he had to marry Miss Zhou, he would marry Miss Concubine Zhou. As a result, you Guess what? The eldest lady of the Zhou family refused at first, but then the second lady was willing to marry, and the eldest lady repented and was willing to marry. Seeing the two daughters like this, General Zhou was furious, and simply rejected the marriage, even the queen mother I don’t even give you face, but the queen mother is very angry, I heard that she is sick in the past few days.”

Jin Se quietly wrote the word "Queen Dowager" on the ground again.

"This is really exciting." The other person couldn't help laughing, "Is there any news about King Ning's marriage?"

"I haven't heard of that. It seems that there is no news. But there is another big event. I heard..." The man's voice suddenly dropped, and Jinse couldn't hear it clearly. When it became clear again, it was already Said, "...the queen mother's illness this time may not have nothing to do with this matter."

A chuckle, a sigh.

"In the royal family, it's really chaotic."

"Yeah, who said that being born in the royal family must be a good thing?"

The two gradually stopped talking, and Jin Se sat quietly in the same place, thinking and thinking, and wrote Su Mo's name on the ground.

In the evening, on the corridor in front of Jinse's cell, there was a sudden sound of light but hasty footsteps, and then, a familiar voice called her: "Miss! Miss!"

Jinse looked up in surprise, and suddenly saw Lu He, she was really shocked: "Lu He, why are you here?"

Seeing her calm face as if nothing had happened, Lu He's eyes blushed suddenly: "Come here, they only allow me to come in for a stick of incense, you let me talk to you."

Jinse walked over as she said, and held Lu He's hand: "What are you doing here? If they get angry and arrest you together, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble for you?" Thinking of something: "How did you get in?"

I heard that the emperor made a decree, because she is a repeat offender, no one is allowed to visit her, how can Lu He come in?

As soon as Jinse finished asking, something was stuffed into her hand: "I showed them this. The gatekeeper actually recognized it, so he let me in for a while."

Jinse lowered her head slowly, and in her open palm lay a jade wrench quietly.

She remembered that it was the last winter hunt, after she and Su Mo were rescued from the cliff, the emperor rewarded her, saying it was for the purpose of suppressing shock.

Since Luhe relied on this thing to get in, it can be seen that it must not be an ordinary thing.

Jinse recalled that she had disliked the finger wrench back then, and only envied Su Mo's gold medal, so she threw the finger wrench aside casually when she returned home, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Miss, put it away carefully, this thing may save your life." Lu He whispered.

Can you save your life?Jinse was skeptical.At the beginning, the Yi clan was driven to extinction, leaving no trace of blood, but now, she, the person with the blood of the Yi clan, might not be able to survive even if she has a big reason?
However, after all, Lu He had worked so hard to find this and brought it to her at the risk of risk, so how dare Jinse say such things to her?

"Don't worry." Jinse looked at Lvhe and said, "When I have to die, I will definitely take this thing out to save my life, and I will come to you again. Remember, the one prepared by Song Heng Wait for me in that house."

Lu He nodded and still wanted to talk, but a guard hurried in outside: "It's time, you should go now."

Lu He looked at Jinse, seeing Jinse smiling and nodding to herself, she couldn't help but feel empty, but still nodded to her, stood up, and walked out with the guard.

Not long after Luhe left, Jinse had just been in a daze for a while, when suddenly footsteps came from the outside aisle.

Jinse couldn't help laughing.Could it be that she was really about to die, and these people rushed to see her one by one.

The sound of the man's footsteps stopped outside the cell, and Jinse looked back, a trace of surprise surfaced on her face.

I didn't expect that it would be Zu Li.Moreover, she is not unfamiliar with Su Li's footsteps, she should be able to hear them.

It can be seen that being locked in this prison for two days will really make people dull.

Su Li stood at the edge of the cell and looked at her, his expression as cold as ever.

Jinse thought for a while, then smiled at him: "Did you come to see me?"

Su Li's eyes darkened, and he winked at the guard next to him, who immediately opened the cell door.

When he came in, Jinse hurriedly stood up and said, "Didn't you say that no one can visit me?"

Su Li thought about many situations in which she was in prison, but she never imagined that it would be so peaceful, as if nothing had happened before, as if nothing would happen in the future.

Seeing that he didn't speak, but just stared at herself, Jinse couldn't help sticking out her tongue and laughing: "Are you dumb?"

Su Li finally came back to his senses, turned his head slightly to look outside: "Come here!"
