The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 9
"Of course I know that my second elder brother wants to protect her reputation. Otherwise, my second elder brother would not have come here from the Begonia Garden last night. However, this matter is ambiguous. If others hear about it, wouldn't it be another royal scandal? I I know that it was Qing Chu's misconduct that caused the misunderstanding this time, but I also hope that from now on, the second brother can stop this kind of misunderstanding." Su Li said lightly.

Su Mo laughed helplessly: "I have always respected Jinse at a distance, so the third brother can't see it? There are so many women in this world, how can there be such a beauty that has never been there? No matter how bad a brother is, it will not be with my sister-in-law, and even younger siblings." Ambiguous."

Su Li slightly arched his hands: "So, thank you, Second Brother, for tolerating my brother's nonsense."

Su Mo smiled indifferently, and brushed past him.

This night, because Su Li wanted to stay in the palace, Jinse couldn't leave either.

But when she was led into Su Li's former bedroom, she was really guilty.Because Qingchu already knew that she and Su Li hadn't consummated their marriage, but she didn't know if Su Li also knew this fact.

Before Su Li came to serve the queen mother in Shoukang Palace, Jinse decided to wash up quickly, but lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.

Not long after she lay down with the quilt in her arms, Su Li returned to the room.

This should be the first time the two have had sex since the wedding night, and Jin Se couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

However, when Su Li entered the room, he just sat at the table and remained silent for a long time.After a while, Jinse heard the sound of the door again, and the smell of food suddenly wafted in the room.

Jinse's stomach groaned in disappointment.

Today's dinner was served in Shoukang Palace, but the Empress Dowager lost her appetite because of sadness, and Su Li didn't eat anything, so Jinse was tired and hungry but still had to put on a sad face and couldn't eat or swallow.At this moment, smelling the aroma of food, my stomach couldn't help but start to move faintly.

"Get up when you're hungry."

Jinse was struggling with her heart, when she heard Su Li speak suddenly, her mind was lifted and she sat up from the bed.

Su Li was putting a bowl on the opposite side, then raised his eyes and glanced at Jinse.

Jinse was overjoyed immediately, stood up and sat there, and found a bowl of silver-thread noodles, the noodles were as thin as silk, and the color was as white as silver, poured with fragrant chicken soup, and served with four meat and vegetable side dishes. The man moved his index finger.

Jinse ate noodles and soup with relish, and glanced at Su Li, who was chewing slowly, suddenly felt that although this man hated her, as a husband, he seemed to have done well in what he should do.It's a pity that she herself is too stubborn to be taught.

Jinse drank the last sip of soup contentedly, and when she put down the bowl, she found that Su Li was looking at her with a cold expression, she couldn't help being startled, and before thinking about it, she blurted out: "My lord, it's easy to accumulate food after eating, it should be later Go back to sleep."

Almost habitually, Su Li frowned again.

It seemed that whenever she spoke, he always frowned.Jinse thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty for a while, and used her fingers to pick at the beautiful Suzhou embroidery pattern on the table.

"If you don't want to sleep, just stay in the room." Su Li suddenly got up and said, "Don't leave the bedroom."

Jinse's heart suddenly relaxed: "Are you still going out?"

"En." Su Li only responded, and turned around to go out.

Jinse stood at the door, and saw him go straight out of the bedroom, a heart that was already relaxed, suddenly felt ominous again.

Seeing Su Li coming and going in a hurry, why does she always feel that something will happen tonight?
As soon as this idea appeared in her mind, Jinse no longer felt sleepy, put on her clothes, and sat in the bedroom restlessly.

In the middle of the night, in the quiet harem, a thunderous cry suddenly came: "There is an assassin—"

Jinse stood up abruptly, just about to go out to see what was going on, but suddenly remembered Su Li's order, and stopped in her tracks for a moment.

Obviously this place is already deep in the harem, but Jinse still feels that she can hear the sound of swords and swords intersecting.If the fighting here is so fierce, what will happen in the hall ahead?
Jinse guessed right, the hall ahead is in dire straits at this moment, and it is no longer just a disaster of "Assassins".

It wasn't until dawn that the sound of weapons being exchanged from outside finally gradually disappeared. After another hour or so, someone suddenly knocked on the room where Jinse was.

Jinse opened the door and saw that it was a young eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Back to Concubine Ning, the prime minister forced the palace to rebel, but now it has been taken down. King Ning was injured and is being treated in the Empress Dowager's Palace. The villain came to invite the concubine to come over."

The prime minister rebelled!Jinse was shocked.If she remembers correctly, the former empress was the prime minister's daughter, and now he rebelled on the night his daughter died, why?
Without time to think about it, Jin Se hurriedly followed the little eunuch towards Shoukang Palace.

The imperial garden was in a mess, and blood-stained weapons could be seen from time to time, but fortunately no corpses of traitors were seen, Jinse covered her mouth and nose, and hurried through here.

When walking under a tall and dense elm tree, Jinse saw a big puddle of blood dripping from the root of the tree, felt a little dizzy, and stopped walking.When she was about to move forward, there was a sudden movement above her head, and then she felt a chill on her neck, and she was held hostage with a knife.

What a pity.For the first time, Jinse thought of these three words.This is really because of the wild thoughts that came up during the wake-up for the queen yesterday - sister Jinyan was Su Mo's original concubine and died; the queen was the emperor's married wife and died.Neither of the two women who married the son of the Su family had a happy death, and she was also Su Li's first concubine in name, I am afraid that Su Li's fate is as hard as his previous two brothers, and she will be killed sooner or later.

Jinse swears that at that time, she was really just thinking about it randomly. Could it be that it will not be fulfilled so soon?
The little eunuch walking in front of her suddenly screamed.And the man behind Jinse had thick arms and a rough voice: "Tell the emperor to come to see me, or I will kill her!"

There was a sudden pain in her neck, and Jinse knew that it was the man's knife cut on her neck, so she couldn't help taking a breath: "Brother, take it easy. If I die, what do you use to negotiate with the emperor?" ?”

The man suddenly strangled Jinse's neck with his arm: "You are quite courageous!"

"I'm very timid, and I'm also very afraid of death. I just ask you to let me live. I can help you negotiate any conditions you want." Jinse said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Shut up!" The man behind shouted, and began to be alert and wait for the emperor to arrive.

Jinse wants to cry but has no tears.The emperor didn't know her well, so why should he save her?

After about half a stick of incense, Jinse and the man were surrounded by guards, but none of them dared to move forward.After a while, the guards finally gave way, and Jinse saw a figure in a bright yellow dragon robe stepping forward from a distance, but he was only surprised.

The man gradually approached, and Jinse couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Su Mo?How could it be him?
It wasn't until Su Mo finally got close to her eyes that Jinse could clearly see that there were several cuts on his dragon robe, and the blood stains spread out and spread on the dragon robe, making Jinse faintly dizzy .

Even so, he stood there, still not at all in a panic.Su Mo didn't look at her either, but just looked at the man behind her and smiled slightly: "Master, if you have something to say, you may as well speak it out, there's no point in threatening a little girl."

Only then did Jinse realize that it was Zhang Liang, the eldest son of the prime minister, who was holding her hostage. Just thinking about this, Zhang Liang behind him spat suddenly: "Su Ran, that turtle with a shrunken head, went out of the palace by himself to seek refuge, but asked you to dress up as a He lured me into the bait, what kind of aboveboard act is this?"

A sneer suddenly sounded from the position behind: "The rebellious officials and thieves of your family have the face to say that they are upright? Do you want this king to erect a monument of uprightness for your Zhang family after you die?"

Su Li, who had just half bandaged the wound on his arm, slowly walked forward from the position behind Jinse and Zhang Liang, with a cold expression and murderous intent in his eyes.

As soon as Jinse heard him speak, she became anxious, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, she felt another sharp pain in her neck.Jin Se suddenly cried out in pain: "My lord, it's your own business that you don't care about your own life, why did you drag me into the water?"

Zhang Liang, who was behind him, laughed out loud: "Little princess, it seems that your prince doesn't care about you very much." After saying that, he suddenly looked at Su Mo: "King Qin, let my father come out, otherwise this little lady will die !"

When Jinse heard the words, tears flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Su Mo: "Brother-in-law, help me."

Su Li's face suddenly sank, and Su Mo's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard the words, but after a while, he still smiled: "What are you afraid of, brother-in-law is here." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Liang again, "My eldest son Don't worry, I'll send someone to send the prime minister over."

Zhang Liang looked at the expression on Su Mo's face without blinking. He was about to speak when he felt a sudden pain in his stomach. He was shocked immediately, knowing that he was attacked by Jinse. Just as he was about to make a move, Jinse had already left him. arm, straight to the ground!At the same time, Su Mo, who was directly in front of him, suddenly stabbed with a sword. Zhang Liang managed to block the sword with a knife, but suddenly thrust out another sword diagonally, directly into his heart!
All this happened only in the blink of an eye. The moment Zhang Liang fell to the ground, he still couldn't believe it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Li who finally stabbed him with a sword. After a while, he finally vomited blood and died.

Jinse fell to the ground, swallowed a mouthful of mud, raised her head in disgrace, and was relieved to see that everything was settled.It's just that the elbow hit Zhang Liang just now was so hard that she still had a dull pain in her elbow.

"Still getting up?" Su Li looked at her with a frown while covering the wound that was bursting and bleeding again.

Jinse stood up with some difficulty, and Su Li turned to Su Mo: "Is the second brother seriously injured?"

Su Mo looked down at the bloody cuts on his body, smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing serious. You go to stop the bleeding and bandage first, and leave it to me."

Su Li nodded, looked at Jinse again, turned and returned to Shoukang Palace.

Jinse rubbed her arms, and wanted to lower her head to follow Su Li's footsteps, but in the end she couldn't help but look back at Su Mo, Su Mo met her gaze, and there was a flash of pampering in her eyes : "What? Didn't expect me to remember what happened so many years ago?"

Jinse's heart trembled slightly, thousands of thoughts had turned in an instant, and finally she didn't say anything, turned around and left for Shoukang Palace.

Su Mo looked at her back, smiled and shook his head.

That is really too far away, probably, it has been six or seven years.

Jinse only remembered that she was still young at that time, her sister Jinyan had only been married to Su Mo for three months, and Beitanglin was just a naughty boy at that time.

That day when Beitang came to Andinghou's mansion as a guest, he played tricks on Jinse by grabbing her to a big tree and hanging her on the tree trunk, threatening to throw her down if she moved, while he himself lay on the bed. Nap on a big tree trunk.

At that time, Jinse was far from being as brave as she is now. She was suspended in the air, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears.Unexpectedly, when she lowered her head, she saw a handsome young man in green shirt passing under the tree. For some reason, Jin Se immediately shouted: "Brother-in-law!"

At that time, Su Mo was still young and handsome, and he couldn't help being a little surprised to see Jinse hanging on the tree trunk.

"Brother-in-law, save me." Jinse begged in a low voice.

Su Mo smiled, and stretched out his hand to her: "Jump down."

Beitanglin stretched out a hand to grab Jinse's neckline, and said in a bluff, "Don't move around, you won't be killed if you fall!"

Jinse hesitated.

Su Mo still smiled: "What are you afraid of, my brother-in-law is here."

Gritting her teeth, Jinse tried her best to break away from Beitang Lin, then she closed her eyes and jumped down.

In the end, she was held firmly in Su Mo's arms without any harm.

When Jinse came back from the memory, the wound on Su Li's arm had just been bandaged by the imperial doctor, and he was listening to the imperial doctor's order with a cold face not to use his right arm as much as possible for the next few days.The more the imperial doctor talked, Su Li's face became more and more serious. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jinse hurriedly sent the imperial doctor out.

Back in the room, she couldn't help asking Su Li: "Did you know that the prime minister was going to rebel?"

Su Li looked up at her: "Is this what you should care about too?"

Jinse actually wanted to ask why such a big thing happened but the emperor was not in the palace. After hearing his answer, he knew that the question was useless, so she turned her back and pouted, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. She pulled out a gentle smile again: "My lord hasn't slept all night, and now he is injured again, go to bed and lie down."

This time her words finally had some effect, Su Li sat for a while, and as expected, she went back to the bed and lay down.

Jinse also didn't sleep all night, and with the previous false alarm, she couldn't bear it any longer. Hearing that Su Li's breathing gradually stabilized, she shrank to the warm couch beside her, and fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep went straight from day to night, and when Su Li was awakened by a slight knock on the door, Jinse was still sound asleep.

It turned out that it was the palace servant who brought dinner here under the order of the Queen Mother. Seeing that Jinse was still asleep, he put down the food lightly and then quietly retreated out.

"Song Jinse." Su Li called her.

Jinse muttered vaguely, but still did not wake up.

Su Li walked over, trying to push her to wake her up.

Jinse was having a good dream, lying on the soft pillow, her hair spread out on the pillow.

Su Li's hand suddenly reached out to her temples.

Jinse was startled, and when she dimly opened her eyes, she could only see a face that was getting closer and closer. Before she could recover, her lips were already heavy, and another pair of soft lips were imprinted on her.

In an instant, Jinse felt that all the blood in her body seemed to rush to the top of her head, her mind was buzzing, and it was in chaos. At the same time, there was another inexplicable panic, fully occupying her heart.

Su Li lowered his eyes, supported Jinse's head with his uninjured left hand, and seemed to notice that she was looking at him with wide-open eyes, and the strength in his hand slightly increased.

Breathing harder and harder, the consciousness in Jinse's mind finally came back little by little. After seeing clearly that the person in front of her was Su Li, she hurriedly stretched out her hand in a panic, trying to push him away.

However, when her hand touched Su Li's shoulder blade, something called rationality appeared in Jinse's mind, which made her stop the palm with all her strength, and turned to push slowly and lightly. Hit him a few times.

Su Li finally let go of her hand on her head, and at the same time, slowly left her lips.

Jinse's pretty face flushed red, and she really wanted to give him a look, but she didn't dare.

After being married for so long, perhaps because of disdain, Su Li never took the initiative to get close to her, and she gradually relaxed her guard against him, but just now, what was he doing?
Jin Se faintly felt aggrieved, only thought that Su Li was taking advantage of others, but after thinking about it, she was still unwilling, so she secretly raised her head and glared at him.

Unexpectedly, Su Li just looked at her with deep eyes, touched her stare, and immediately frowned again.

Her look must have displeased him.Jinse looked at his sinking face, thinking that he must come to pick on her again for not knowing the rules.

Su Li looked at her coldly for a moment, then the corners of his mouth sank suddenly, he stood up and said, "Get up and have dinner."

Jinse's heart was blocked, and she blurted out: "Don't eat."

Su Li turned to look at her.

Jinse couldn't help shrinking her body, and carefully pulled her skirt inward.

Su Li had already taken two steps, but when he saw her movement, he suddenly turned back and sat down on the side of the couch again.Jinse's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't restrain herself from shouting: "My lord!"

Su Li glanced at her, and suddenly called her: "Song Jinse."

Jinse didn't raise her head, but responded in a low voice.

"Don't forget your own identity." Su Li said lightly, but his tone was full of coldness. After speaking, he got up and walked to the door, opened the door and gave orders: "Send the princess back to the mansion."

When Jinse raised her head, she saw only a corner of his clothes flashing outside the door, and then she could no longer see it.He left without a sound, but Jinse breathed a sigh of relief quietly, recalling what he said, couldn't help but sigh.

He wanted her to remember her identity, but it's a pity that she didn't want this identity at all. If it wasn't for her father, why would she force herself like this?
As the people sent by Su Li walked all the way to the gate of the palace, Jinse felt that he could still smell the smell of blood along the way. An imperial doctor in front rushed forward with a medical boy carrying a medicine box.

The imperial doctor was clearly in a state of urgency, but he still had to stop to greet her when he saw her. Jin Se was curious and asked why he was so anxious.

"The imperial doctor who treated King Qin's injuries before was careless and gave King Qin the wrong medicine. At this moment, King Qin is suffering from injuries. I dare not delay. Please forgive me, Princess Ning."

Jinse listened silently, just nodded, and then saw the imperial doctor galloping away again.

Walking to the gate of the palace, Jinse couldn't help but look back at the majestic and magnificent palaces, and the chill in her heart suddenly became stronger.

The imperial palace is indeed not a place where everyone can stay.
