Chapter 129 I will give you another marriage later
Su Rutang's hands were trembling. In her memory, Long Changyou often ran to the west of the city to buy osmanthus cake for her.
"Tangtang. I'll ask the shopkeeper and his wife to come to our house and make osmanthus cake especially for you, okay?" The figure of Long Changyou seemed to appear in front of Su Rutang.
How long……
She no longer thought of this person, nor did she remember the taste of the osmanthus cake.
Seeing Su Rutang’s pale face.
Shang Yan stretched out his hand, but retracted it in an instant.
"It's just an osmanthus cake. Why are you so excited?"
Su Rutang seemed to be looking at someone else through him, and she retracted her gaze. She murmured to herself: "It's osmanthus cake for you, but it's not just osmanthus cake for me."
Su Rutang left.
Shang Yan looked at her desolate back, his eyes flashing with coldness.
He went to the palace.
The emperor has been obsessed with cultivating immortality recently. After meditating, he got up and took a pill.
The bright yellow clothes revealed the thick hair on the chest, and a pair of bare feet stepped on the floor.
"Shang Yan."
"Wei Chen is here."
"Old man Su said he wanted to resign and return to his hometown to retire. What do you think he meant?" The emperor wanted Minister Su to return to his hometown, but he was afraid that the old man would cause trouble after returning.
Shang Yan revealed a hint of just the right amount of sarcasm.
"Your Majesty. Su Zhixun and Su Buyi are in Mobei, but their families are in the capital. Their lives are in your hands. If you allow Su Shizhong to return home, and give his female relatives the right to marry independently, it means that your Majesty has removed Su Shizhong's power and given him two sweet dates."
"But the old man's connections?"
Shang Yan's eyes were full of disdain for the Su family. "The emperor is the one at the helm. Whether they form cliques or act independently, they all depend on the emperor's wishes."
"Minister Su has retired and returned to his hometown. His Su family will not produce any high-ranking officials for the time being."
"It is true that Su Zhixun is the Great General of Mobei, but there is more than one Great General in our court."
"In the battle of Xiliang, the soldiers fought for the Great Zhou and for the emperor in the capital. They did not fight for the Mobei Wolves."
Shang Yan didn't say that the Su family was loyal.
What the emperor fears most is forming cliques for personal gain, and he believes that the Su family is the Crown Prince's people.
"Okay. As you said. The soldiers sacrificed their lives for me after all."
The emperor patted his chest and laughed, but then stopped laughing. "Minister Su said he wanted Su Rutang's divorce letter."
"A second-married woman still wants a divorce?"
The smile on the emperor's face gradually froze. It didn't matter whether Su Rutang and he divorced or not. What mattered was that she was once the daughter-in-law of the Crown Prince, the princess of his most hated nephew.
Shang Yan raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at the emperor's gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Su Shi doesn't want to divorce."
"Doctor Zhou has committed so many scandals. How can she still stay in the Zhou Mansion?" The emperor was puzzled.
Shang Yan stroked the beads with his left hand and saw the emperor looking at him. He hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a glass of wine, "Master Wu said that the emperor took the elixir and needs strong liquor to accelerate the effect of the elixir."
The emperor took the cup and said, "What I like most is to cultivate immortality and enlightenment with Taoist Master Wu."
"Being the emperor of the world is not what I like to do."
"Your Majesty, I know that you are doing this for the sake of the people. Otherwise, you would have become an immortal long ago." Shang Yan bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Su has a leisurely life in the Zhou Mansion, and the Su family has given her money."
"It would be a joke if we really wanted to divorce."
"You are right." The emperor looked at Shang Yan without saying a word.
Shang Yan's heart was beating fast as he watched, "Your Majesty."
"I remember that you have no confidante."
Shang Yan knelt down hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I have a confidante. I just want to eat with her in the future."
"She doesn't know you're a eunuch?"
Shang Yan lowered his head, "I don't know."
"You are the only one I promoted from the inner court eunuchs to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I also allowed you to adopt an abandoned child." The emperor stroked his chin, "I will grant you a marriage later."
Shang Yan was overjoyed, "My confidante is..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it later. I drank some wine and I'm full of strength. Let's practice the art of balancing yin and yang."
"You go."
"Yes."
Shang Yan lowered his head and walked out.
He left the palace.
Yao Tongzhi was waiting outside, "Sir, what mission does the emperor have?"
"Yes. Speaking of granting me a marriage."
Yao Tongzhi was stunned. Others didn't know that they knew that Shang Yan was a eunuch. When he first came to Jinyiwei, everyone was dissatisfied.
Shang Yan fought in turns and defeated the old hands of the Jinyiwei.
"Who?" Yao Tongzhi was stunned.
"Which lady in the palace?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shang Yan's expressionless face: "Someone you never thought of."
Yao Tongzhi: “…”
"Is the person you are eating not beautiful?"
"You want to get married?"
Yao Tongzhi shook his head and said, "Shangqi is also my son, and I don't plan to get married in the future.
We in the Jinyiwei are just dogs of the royal family. We don’t even know when we will die, so don’t leave any evidence for yourself.”
Shang Yan used to think so too.
But abandoned...
Thinking of his son and Taohua and Su Rutang, his cold eyes became even colder.
"Tell Huo Mi's men to keep an eye on the unfamiliar faces entering the city. The people from Xiliang are hiding very deeply. Murong is actually from the royal family of Xiliang."
Shang Yan always felt that things were not so coincidental.
"Okay, the man behind her?"
"Don't worry about him for now." Shang Yan told him not to worry about him, so Yao Tongzhi naturally didn't care about him.
Shang Yan still gave Su Buli a note, which wrote about Murong Feiyue's life experience. He also said that it was rumored that her biological father was not dead, but was being hunted by the Xiliang royal family and was hiding somewhere.
Su Buli read the note, crumpled it up and burned it.
"Shaoqing Su. Someone is looking for you outside." A clerk from the Dali Temple came over.
Su Buli came back to his senses.
"Who?"
"A woman in red."
Su Buli closed his eyes and said, "Take her to the tea room."
"Yes."
The Dali Temple had a tea room specifically for receiving people. Su Buli took a look at his official uniform. There was not even a wrinkle on it. He was about to leave when he was stopped by someone.
"Su Shaoqing." The person who spoke was wearing coroner's clothes and had a round face.
A pair of big eyes look like crescent moon when smiling.
"He Ying. What's the matter?"
"A homicide occurred on West Street." He Ying is short but very courageous.
She can run to any mass grave, any corpse-mutilation site...
"Take someone with you."
"It is said that the murderer has the totem of the Nanli people." He Ying stretched his neck, "Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"go."
Su Buli heard that there was a totem of the Nanli people, and he didn't want to miss it. When he came outside, he called a clerk. "Go to the tea room and tell the guest that there is nothing we can do about her."
"Let her go back."
The clerk wanted to say something but was hit on the head by He Ying.
"We have an important case, please go and handle it quickly."
"Hey."
Su Buli and He Ying led the group to West Street, where the deceased lived not far from the downtown area. Su Buli untied the deceased's clothes and found a wolf head pattern behind his shoulder.
"Young Master. This is what we were talking about before..." Seeing Su Buli's cold eyes, He Ying didn't dare to speak anymore.
Just as Su Buli was about to leave, he discovered that the man was holding a jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant looks familiar.
He quietly put the jade pendant away.
"He Ying. Find out the cause of his death."
"Hmm. The deceased should have been killed by someone..." He Ying frowned, "It doesn't look like he was poisoned. Strange..."
"I can't find any wounds."
He Ying took a pair of scissors and cut open all the clothes of the deceased, meticulously looking for any wounds or possible places on his body that might have caused death.
Su Buli came out into the yard.
In addition to the coroner, there were other people investigating the case. Su Buli slowly opened his hand and took a look at the jade pendant.
He was cold all over.
This jade pendant clearly belonged to Su Rutang. He remembered that Su Rutang had obtained a piece of jade that year.
Made three jade pendants.
Each of the three members of their family had a jade pendant, and when Su Rutang's father died, the jade pendant...? After Su Buli found out that his second uncle had died, he seemed to have not seen the jade pendant.
As for Su Rutang's mother, she fell into the river.
He clenched the jade pendant and exhaled.
"I'm going out."
He Ying jumped inside, "I haven't found out the cause of death yet."
"Then just search slowly and feel around slowly. You will find it eventually." After saying this, Su Buli came outside, untied the reins, and rode away.
Su Rutang was arranging flowers in the house.
She cut off the extra branches and put the white flowers in a Ru kiln vase.
Chunxi handed over a yellow flower.
"Second Madam, these white flowers are unlucky."
"White is so pure." Su Rutang did not take the yellow flowers, but directly put the white flowers together.
"Send it to Second Master's yard. Just say that the flowers in the flowerbed are newly bloomed and look clean."
Chunxi pursed his lips and said, "Yes."
She took the vase and called a clever little maid over to give her a few instructions.
The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old. She smiled and said:
"Are there any chestnut cakes?"
"Come back to the kitchen and get it."
"Thank you, Sister Chunxi." The little maid ran away with the vase.
"Second Madam, Su Shaoqing is here." A maid came in from the door.
"Please come in quickly."
