Chapter 179
After drinking a cup of tea, old man Su said: "What do you have that I want to plot?"

Rong Jiu choked, curled his lips, and smiled slyly: "Nothing? That's even more unacceptable."

"Qing'er is sharp, but too kind-hearted, and you are too sharp, which is more likely to attract people's envy." Mr. Su stroked the jade bracelet and looked up at her, "Back then, when His Majesty married Qing'er, he promised her a Wish, maybe in the future, you can use it."

Isn't that a life-saving talisman?
Rong Jiu suppressed the astonishment in his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "You just gave me such an important thing?"

Old Master Su lowered his head and drank his tea lightly: "You cured the old man's head disease, it's your gratitude."

Rong Jiu played with the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "I heard that Concubine Degui has always been healthy, but she died of illness not long after giving birth to the Seventh Prince, do you think she died of a serious illness?"

Mr. Su paused for a cup of tea brought to his lips, his expression was gloomy and slightly turbulent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Rong Jiu thought for a while, and then said: "To murder a person quietly, it must be someone who holds a lot of power, and is someone who His Majesty can't move, and he doesn't want to move."

Mr. Su did not expect that she would be so outspoken.

A deep and sharp gaze cast directly into his eyes, Rong Jiu's heart trembled slightly, and he saw Mr. Su looking at her deeply, staring at her closely with a gloomy look.

Rong Jiu met his gaze indifferently, with a slight smile in his calm eyes: "Did the old man find out who it is?"

Mr. Su looked away, didn't say anything, only gave a faint "hmm".

Rong Jiu put the bracelet on his wrist and smiled with satisfaction: "It's really pretty."

She knew in her heart that for the past 20 years, Mr. Su has lived in seclusion here, and the Duke's Mansion has done nothing. It seems to be far away from the court, but the power of the Su family has already spread all over the court secretly. Concubine De Gui took revenge.

Shen Cheng is Mr. Su's most proud protégé, and in the future, he will definitely share the same hatred with the Su family. The struggle between factions and the road to succession are difficult and dangerous, which is self-evident.

Mr. Su probably felt guilty, so he gave her the ice flower lotus jade.

"Why did you change your mind again?" Mr. Su was a little surprised.

"The way Chen Cheng chose, I naturally want to accompany him. Back then, my father was dismissed from office not because he offended Prime Minister Xiao, but because the Shen family was powerless and helpless. Today, the Xiao family is domineering, and Shen Cheng wants to punish him. Returning to justice is like hitting a rock with an egg." Rong Jiu said slowly, with a sly smile, "The Duke's Mansion is the pillar of the country, follow the Su family, and lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade."

Old Master Su smiled, his faint light swept over her body, and he lowered his head to drink tea again.

Even if they were carefully raised by aristocratic families, they may not be as sharp and intelligent as her.

She is a bright pearl, only Rong Qingshan would regard her as a fish eye, she is really stupid.

"You haven't seen Shen Cheng for a long time, why don't you stay in the mansion for dinner, when the time comes, I'll ask Steward Su to take you back."

"Okay," Rong Jiu responded with a smile, shaking the jade bracelet on his wrist, "If I accidentally break it and ask His Majesty to fulfill the promise, will Your Majesty renege on it?"

"Everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is the most wise and benevolent today." Old Master Su sneered coldly, "He dare not."

"That's good," Rong Jiu laughed, and when he spoke, his face became pale, as cold as snow, "I hate people who backtrack on what they say."
