The Powerful Eunuch and the Delicate Beauty

Chapter 340 The Collusion between Su Shen and Xiao Mocheng

But when Su Ruan came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Mocheng sitting in the tea house drinking tea.

When Xiao Mocheng saw the two people standing there, a little cinnabar froze between his brows.

But he still stood up and spoke.

"Since you're here, let's have a drink together."

Hearing this, Su Ruan pulled the little skinny man to sit down.

After a while, I thought the atmosphere would be awkward, but who knows...

"The Marquis of Changxin really has a plan." Xiao Mocheng held the white chess piece in his hand, and with his seemingly calm eyes, he was sizing up the man opposite him.

I saw that his body was full of brilliance, and his whole body was filled with a sense of cold dignity, without the previous hostility.

"Xiao Zuo gave in, I will win because you are too worried. In fact, sometimes necessary losses are still necessary."

Su Shen dropped a sunspot, and the outcome was decided for a while.

Then he turned his head to look at the ghost who had fallen asleep before he knew it, got up gently, and gently hugged him horizontally.

Xiao Mocheng's expression remained unchanged, but subconsciously clenched his hand behind his back into a fist, and the clean nails embedded in the lines of his palm, immediately oozing bright red.

"Although it's a bit redundant, I still ask you to protect her no matter what the troubled times are."

Su Shen nodded.

……

In the dark night, Xiao Mocheng watched them leave before his palm slowly drooped, and the blood in his hand dripped onto the ground.

Nian'er... whispered softly with a sense of forbearance, Xiao Mocheng suddenly heard the words of the Taoist priest who had met both sides before.

The world is short as a spring dream, and human relations are as thin as autumn clouds.Don't worry about hard work, everything is dead.

Xiao Mocheng slowly sat back in his seat, covering his brows and eyes with one hand, but there was a bitter smile on his lips.

……

In the morning, when Su Ruan woke up, she turned her head and saw the little skinny man lying beside her.

She pursed the corners of her lips and let out a snigger, then she turned over directly, seeing the light brown eyes that opened immediately below her, she opened her mouth lazily.

"Tell me, how long did you look at me last night? Or did you just look at me after you didn't sleep all night?"

Su Shen looked at the fairy-like woman above her head, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Just looking at you..."

The sunlight pouring in from the window, through the bed curtain, fell on the woman's slightly reddened ears, and the water flowing in the man's eyes.

The next moment, hearing movement outside, Su Ruan got down from the little skinny man in a numb manner.

She listened carefully to the sounds outside, then looked at Su Shen, who was obviously displeased by the interruption, and said with a suppressed smile.

"Go quickly, my sister-in-law is here."

Su Shen raised his eyes, and the displeasure inside became more and more serious. Just when he was thinking about how to drive away the outsiders, he saw the ghost in front of him, and a cunning flashed in the bright eyes.

"My sister-in-law brought the embroiderer from the mansion to measure me. Well, did you forget that our marriage was already scheduled for next month yesterday, so we must hurry up and decide on the wedding dress."

Speaking of this, Su Ruan paused, and tried again.

"Aren't you leaving yet? How about I go talk to my mother and tell them to call off the marriage..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ruan saw a figure rushing out of the bed.

Looking at his back, she couldn't help but smile.

Li Ruoshi saw this scene as soon as she came in. She saw her sister-in-law sitting by the bed with a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but reached out and tapped her forehead.

"You, you, you can't be more reserved. This is just a wedding dress made according to your body. As for being so happy?"

"So, you were going to marry my brother before, didn't you laugh?"

Li Ruoshi was at a loss for words, and after a while she blushed and woke up, and called Xiuniang to come in.

"Hey, your waist is so thin. It's really pitiful. You must have lost weight recently. Xia Cao will remember it tomorrow. From now on, I will prepare whatever I eat there for your miss."

With a sour tone, Su Ruan was about to speak when she heard a ghost voice in the room.

"Oh, this Ruan Ruan's new sister-in-law is really round and round."

She took advantage of the situation to look over, and almost didn't cry out because the picture was too strange.

It was because there were two grimaces under her bed, looking at her, with the same width, and the same bloody face.

Hehe, so when did the red dress come here? It seems that she and Sun Yuniang, who followed her back to Yanjiao, got mixed up happily.

It's just that Su Ruan's speechless expression, in the eyes of Li Ruoshi who did not get a reply after speaking, became a naked resistance, but although she had a little more temper due to pregnancy.

But I didn't have bad intentions after all. Seeing that Su Ruan was really displeased, she immediately said with a smile.

"I'm just teasing you. Here, this is a silver note of 5 taels. You have nothing to go out for a walk recently, and add a wedding gift to that little skinny guy in your family."

Looking at the thick banknotes in front of her, Su Ruan was stunned, and asked subconsciously.

"Isn't our family's money filled the treasury?"

Li Ruoshi nodded, and then gave a very rich and powerful explanation.

"Yeah, it's just that your brother's appointment is in front of filling the national treasury."

Seeing Li Ruoshi who said I was rich and came to curry favor with me, Su Ruan sent her away with a grin.

Then she closed the door to see the ghost.

"Hongyi, did you stay in Juju before you disappeared? Did you find anything?"

"Well, I stayed in Tuju, and I'm sure that Xueyan is Liangqi, but although she can't see ghosts, she can use illusion, so I haven't dared to follow too closely."

When Hong Yi said this, he said something softly, something that Su Ruan couldn't think of.

"However, I learned something useful to you, or should I say, to Governor Su, when I stayed with you. That is, the society is engaged in a civil war. The first prince who received the ossuary had a disagreement with the second prince. Now Up and down, they are all on the side of the second prince, if not for Khan Tugu who is still insisting, I am afraid that the bone disc of the eldest prince would have changed hands long ago."

Su Ruan was not too surprised when she heard this, because on the way back to Yanjiao, the little skinny man also told her about the sudden situation, so she knew more or less about it.

The little thin man was able to use tricks before to win and regain the city lost by Da Yuan before, because of the chaos of Tu Wu himself.

It's just that she thought for a while that the second prince's biological mother was the Xueyan family, so she asked subconsciously.

"Isn't that Khan Tuwu particularly fond of the Xueyan family? Then why do you want to favor the eldest prince who is not optimistic about Tutu this time?"

"Maybe it's because the eldest prince is Xue Yan's son."

Hong Yi's answer was like thunder on the ground. After Su Ruan asked Hong Yi, her mind was full of doubts, but she thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out.

What if the Xueyan family is the biological mother of the eldest prince?Then why did she use illusion when the eldest prince was young to exchange him with the second prince, since the sudden succession to the position of Khan was never the election of the eldest son.

……

At this moment outside Yanjiao City.

It was still a gazebo. Song Chunian waited all night before he heard movement behind him. Turning around, he looked at Mrs. Shanyue who was not in an illusion for the first time, and hurriedly lowered his head.

For some reason, although he has not rejected Mrs. Shanyue since he was a child, there is a strange feeling in his heart that he wants to get close but is afraid of getting close.

So is this love?Song Chunian, who had always believed in it, strangely flashed a pair of black and white and clean apricot eyes in his mind.

"Nian'er, the prince is no longer a thing. You have done a good job."

The ethereal voice of the mountain moon broke Song Chunian's distraction in an instant, and he bowed his head in response.

"It was arranged by Madam."

Mrs. Shanyue laughed lightly when she heard the words.

"Really? But I don't seem to have arranged for you to get close to that young lady of the Su family? Why are you in love with a girl? If that's the case, I can also help you snatch her away from the newly promoted Chang Xinhou." Come."

Song Chunian subconsciously refused.

"You don't have to, madam. I said before that as long as madam can help me avenge my biological mother, I will let madam do her bidding."

"Hehe, even if you are now the most promising next prince of Dayuan?"

"Yes."

The smile on Mrs. Shanyue's mouth remained undiminished, but a deep look flashed in her eyes.

"Then your next mission is to become the monarch of the Great Yuan as soon as possible."

Song Chunian didn't respond in surprise, he always knew Mrs. Shanyue would let him fight and rob, and the purpose was never pure.

He just became a monk at the age of five, lost his mother at the age of six, and witnessed the humiliation of his "dead" biological mother at the age of seven. In these years, only Mrs. Shanyue was by his side.

So he has long been used to obedience.

……

Five days later, in the study room of the Marquis of Changxing, Su Shen looked at the old man who walked in, paused slightly with the book in his hand, and then spoke with the same expression.

"The national teacher came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"

The old man who was called the national teacher took off the hood on his head, and by the candlelight, he was the old Taoist priest he had only seen in Yangzhou before.

"Since the Marquis of Changxin called the old man the national teacher, the old man came here for his own profession... to tell the fortune."

Su Shen raised an eyebrow.

"If the national teacher wants to tell the fortune for me, then we have met three times before."

"What Chang Xinhou said is that the old man did only count one person's fate once before, because the fate of a person will not change, so it is useless to count more, but you are an exception, Lord Marquis, you may not know Every time the old man sees you, he will calculate your fate."

Su Shen remembered that the national teacher had calculated for him before that the ghost would return to him, so he put down the book in his hand.

However, the national teacher in front of him smiled and said before he could speak.

"Do you want to ask about your marriage with Miss Su? Then, can Lord Hou tell the old man first whether you exchanged your emperor's life with someone."

Emperor order?Su Shen subconsciously recalled the dream he had before.

In the dream, the man in red asked him, are you willing to use what you have planned in your heart in exchange for the life of your beloved?

The national teacher, who was observing Su Shen's expression, immediately had the answer. Although he was still curious about who the person who made the deal with Chang Xinhou was, the doubt in his heart was resolved.

It's because he had figured out that Marquis Changxing had the emperor's mandate before, but when he saw him last time in Yangzhou, there was no dragon in his face.

However, the national teacher took another look. Changxing Hou, who was no longer haunted by hostility, suddenly felt the wonder of everything in the world.

A lonely soul can actually reverse the fate of the emperor and save thousands of people.

"Marquis Changxing, you need to treat Miss Su better in the future."

After finishing this sentence, the national teacher regretted it very much in the future, because some good things can really make people and gods angry.

But at this moment, he just finished saying this sentence, he glanced past Su Shen and looked at Xiao Mocheng who walked out, and cupped his hands.

"It turns out that Xiao Zuoxiang is also there."

"Well, here's the truth, I just want to know, who ordered you to come to Yanjiao, and your elixir called Shengshang, who made you ten years younger overnight, and what's your intention?"

The national teacher looked at Xiao Mocheng in front of him and stroked his beard, and answered with a smile.

"Could it be that Zuoxiang Xiao doesn't know that His Majesty has worked so hard to find this country's teacher, and that the intention of the elixir is to make His Majesty fulfill his wish."

Xiao Mocheng thought of Emperor Jing Yuan, who had already set up a Taoist temple in the palace and was waiting to take the elixir every day, with sullen anger on his face.

"What does it mean to fulfill His Highness's wish? According to the truth, you just want to disturb Dayuan!"

"Xiao Zuoxiang's words are wrong. Dayuan is destined to have such a chaos, and what the old man is doing now is just speeding up. You must know that you will continue to suffer from the chaos, and when the chaos ends, it is the one who suffers." Innocent people."

After speaking, the national teacher took out a dark gold bottle from his arms.

"Look, this is the old man's merit bottle. To tell you the truth, there are merit bottles that I have accumulated for hundreds of years before, but Marquis Changxing should know that the merits inside have just been used up by a silly apprentice like me. That’s right, so the old man came to Yanjiao to accumulate merit, so Xiao Zuoxiang, what do you think the old man will do to harm the nature and harm the common people?”

"In addition, since the old man can live for hundreds of years, there is naturally a way of cultivation that does not violate the laws of nature, so Xiao Zuoxiang does not have to worry about the safety of the Holy One at all. As long as the Holy One follows the old man's method of cultivation step by step, it will naturally not There is a difference."

The other two people present didn't agree with that sentence, but they were shaken after hundreds of years. They were all thinking about the second sentence of the national teacher.

A good practice step?What if there is something wrong?
Also, Emperor Jing Yuan is the king of a country. If he really concentrates on cultivating while tightening the imperial power like today, can such Emperor Jing Yuan still be a wise king?

After half a sound.

The national teacher left, Xiao Mocheng looked at Su Shen who rarely spoke in Fangfang, and slowly sat opposite him.

"Marquis Changxing, since you called for the truth tonight, do you want to collude with the truth?"

Su Shen lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and although he didn't speak, he nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Mocheng thought about the last sentence that the national teacher said when he left, and then thought about the current situation in the court, so he made up his mind to speak.

"The truth can't agree to other things, but if you want to elect a suitable person to the position, as long as the truth can see Dayuan's future in him, then the truth will spare no effort to help."

……

Ten days later, Su Ruan, who was watching the embroiderer's embroidered clothes in the mansion, heard about a big event.
