Conspiracy

Chapter 154

Su Zhen followed behind, watching his lonely back gradually drifting away, filled with emotion in her heart.

Who would have expected that Gu Yunshu, who had always been as stable as a mountain, would also be in a mess, losing his mind due to fear.

Not far away, Su Shen'er, who was dressed in blue, led the big maid out of the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard. She couldn't help but be surprised to see Gu Yun's relaxed face, which turned into a refined smile.

I wanted to go forward, but the two of them had already walked away.

"Cai'er, who is that young master who walked with Zhen'er just now?"

Cai'er looked in the direction where Su Zhen was leaving, and replied, "Back to the Eldest Miss, that's Mrs. Gu Yunshu. He returned to the mansion together with the Master, but it seems that he came for the Eldest Young Master."

Su Shen'er was surprised, "For Zhen'er? When did they meet again?"

Cai'er leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Miss, I heard that the young master can catch demons."

Su Shen'er was stunned, and turned to cover her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "Catch monsters? Zhen'er can go up trees to dig out bird eggs, and go down to the water to fish for scientific competitions, but he probably won't even be able to catch a chicken. How can he catch monsters? "

"Oh, miss, it's true, don't you believe it! Now it's spread all over the house."

"Although father is a bit stricter with Zhen'er, it is for his own good, not to mention that with mother around, how could he be sent to die."

Su Shen'er shook her head helplessly, and walked towards the dining hall. After walking a few steps, she turned her head subconsciously, but the figure of that person had disappeared without a trace.

Su Zhen and Gu Yunshu were walking together in the busy city. The two of them were handsome and eye-catching. If it was usual, many people would stop and watch, but today the street was quite deserted.

Knowing that there are demons haunting the capital city, most of the common people dare not go out, and even the number of forbidden troops patrolling the city has more than doubled.

"Be careful, it seems someone is following you."

Su Zhen is holding a pack of sweet silver candies, the color is milky white, like intricately intertwined, it melts in the mouth.

"Just follow, it's no big deal. Mr. Dongli, try this. Ziye always likes to eat it. It tastes really good, but it's a bit sweet."

Gu Yunshu nodded, picked up a piece, and brought it to his lips for a light bite.

He suddenly remembered back then, when that pretty girl was pulling his sleeves and acting like a spoiled child, pestering him to buy sweets
Su Zhen stood in front of a hawker stall, watching the other party making sugar paintings, but her eyes drifted to the people in casual clothes at the back.

These people have been guarding outside Taifu's mansion, presumably they should be sent by Yu Changqing.

As expected, he was thoughtful and did not fully believe her.

The two wandered around in the capital, not looking for Si Li at all.

The people following behind gradually became impatient.

"Why does Master Jin Lian let us look at this kid Su Zhen? He knows nothing, wanders around doing nothing, and is not afraid of monsters to catch him."

"To be valued by an adult, he must have something special, right?"

"You guys talk so much, just follow orders."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The largest restaurant in the capital city was overcrowded, and Xiao Er was busy and sweating profusely.The shopkeeper arranged a comfortable private room for Su Zhen and Gu Yunshu, and ordered a table of wine and food by the way.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Su Zhen poured a glass of wine for Gu Yunshu, picked up chopsticks and added some vegetarian dishes to his bowl.

"Master Su, what do you mean?"

"Don't you want to pay with your life? Just treat it as a farewell meal. By the way, Mr. Dongli, just call me Youning."

"it is good."

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks, Su Zhen asked with a smile, "Afraid that I will be poisoned? Or do you not want to eat because you are tasteless?"

Listening to her teasing, Gu Yunshu's eyes flickered, "I've already had lunch, after you finish eating, we'll go look for A Li."

"Then wait, there are two friends coming later."

"it is good."

Su Zhen has seldom eaten since yesterday, she was already very hungry, and she didn't bother to pretend to be in front of Gu Yunshu, so she ate on her own,

"Sigh, the peach blossom brew from Jiyuefang is still delicious."

"You Ning, you seem to be a regular visitor to Jiyuefang?"

"Yeah, I will go every two or three days."

"Even if the Grand Tutor's Mansion has a mountain of gold and silver, it cannot be squandered by you like this. If someone reports this matter to the emperor, Grand Tutor Su will probably be investigated for it."

"My father is a clean and honest official. Even if there is a golden mountain, it will be rewarded by the emperor."

"You don't seem like a prodigal, but I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Yueniang?"

Gu Yunshu became suspicious of her so quickly?
Su Zhen paused for a while, "Mr. Dongli, don't worry, I stole the peach blossom wine."

"steal?!"

"uh-huh."

"Jiyuefang is heavily guarded. The defense is comparable to that of a palace. It can be attacked and defended. How do you steal it?"

"I, Su Zhen, are the only ones who don't want anything in this world, so how can I say that I can't ask for it?"

"You are so arrogant, no wonder you can catch his eyes."

"Him? The prince?"

Gu Yunshu shook his head, smiled and remained silent.

Yesterday I said goodbye to Ah Hong, who knows that I will never see each other again.

At this time, his eyes fell on the wooden string on Su Zhen's wrist, and he felt strange in his heart.

Just now he noticed the spiritual energy on the wooden rope, although it was fleeting, he was still captured by him.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Su Zhen looked outside the door and said with a smile, "Here we come."

A series of footsteps sounded from the corridor of the restaurant, and then the door of the private room was pushed open.

Seeing Su Zhen eating alone, Mo Sheng had a great time, and left Gu Yunshu aside, speechless and funny.

If this gets out, she will have to add another item of lack of etiquette to her stigma list.

Mo Sheng was followed by Zhu Gusheng and Song Kun, both of them looked like thugs.Especially Zhu Gusheng, with ragged clothes and unkempt face, obviously extremely taboo about Su Zhen's previous five evils and three shortcomings.

Gu Yunshu had no malice or dislike towards them, and smiled friendlyly.

It's just that his eyes stayed on Mo Sheng for a while, huh?Demon spirit?

"Mr. Dongli, this is Mo Sheng. You met yesterday at the Ministry of Punishment. As for the other two, the older one is Zhu Gusheng, and the one next to him is his nephew Songkun."

"Zhu Gusheng? The gambling king who controlled Luo Qi's money back then, Zhu Gusheng?!"

Gu Yunshu didn't take a closer look just now, and only noticed his true face after being surprised.

"It's the old one." Zhu Gusheng's eyes flashed brightly, "It turned out to be Mr. Gu. We should have met once before. You can just call the old old Zhutou."

The corners of Gu Yunshu's lips curled up, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master, please be polite, Yunshu is being polite here."

"My lord once said that there is no time in life, don't force it. If the old man can practice this word back then, it will definitely be easier now."

Su Zhen picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it and said, "Okay, don't be polite, let's sit down and eat together."

"Master Su, this"

"Anyone who comes is a guest, don't be polite, we can talk about something after dinner."

"Then thank Mr. Su."

Mo Sheng went out and asked Xiao Er to add a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks. They sat and ate together, except for Su Zhen who ate heartlessly, the rest of them were all thinking about it.

"You Ning, it turns out that you are still acquainted with the old Zhutou."

Su Zhen smiled, "Mr. Dongli, Ziye and I helped Mr. Songkun on the street yesterday. By the way, your jade hairpin was also given by this gentleman."

Zhu Gusheng and Songkun finally knew why Su Zhen asked Mo Sheng to bring them here in person.

But even Mo Sheng couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Su Zhen's gourd.

She circled among the crowd, seemingly lying everywhere, and seemed to say nothing wrong.It's just that the words were ambiguous, and he never made the words clear, concealing part of the truth, swaying those people's appetites as if trying to lure them into the bait.
