When Liu Xiaoran woke up, she felt warm all over her body, but this kind of touch...it seemed that she was leaning on someone.He woke up in an instant. He used to be an extremely light sleeper, and would wake up whenever there was any movement. Naturally, there was only one person who could let him off guard so much.

"Are you awake?" Su Mu turned the pen in his hand and turned his head with a smile.

"Cough, I'm sorry." Seeing that she was almost fully embraced by Su Mu, Liu Xiaoran suddenly felt a burst of warmth on her face.

"I didn't expect Master Liu to ignore his words." Su Mu put down his pen, turned around, and his expression became very serious.

When Liu Xiaoran was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, Su Mu had already announced the answer by himself.

"Last night, someone promised me that I would go back to rest." Su Mu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "It seems that this is what Master Liu said to go back to rest?"

Seeing that Liu Xiaoran should use her busy schedule as an excuse, Su Mu had already thought of what to do.

"It seems that Yan Xuan really needs me. In this way, if Yan Xuan's price is right, then the person next to me may not necessarily be able to. It is still possible to urge you to go back and rest in your ear every day. This is just right.I'm also relieved, is it killing two birds with one stone, should Yan Xuan think about it?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, yesterday's scene inevitably appeared in Liu Xiaoran's mind. Although she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, it seemed that something had quietly changed.

For example, now, Su Mu is very close to himself, with one hand still covering the back of his hand, and the cloak behind him wraps both of them in it, such an intimate distance, which he has never had in many years.of.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoran was just in a daze, as if she didn't intend to answer her, Su Mu was about to end the joke, but she didn't expect that the next moment, Liu Xiaoran looked up at herself, and then cleared her throat.

"A yearly salary of 2,000 shi, and two Capital City land deeds, two houses, and dozens of acres of fields outside the city. I don't know if Yu Zhi is still attractive."

...

Now it was Su Mu's turn to be stunned, Liu Xiaoran had told her all about her family.

After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud, then nodded his head and said in succession: "Enough is enough, of course it is attractive, so let's leave a deed, so that we all have a solid foundation in our hearts.", Well, this one is a confession, over there, ah, this one is blank paper!"

He dipped his pen into the ink and began to write on the page.

Because was too anxious to write, there were several typos.

"That's it. The handwriting may be a little ugly, but it's enough if you can understand it." He wrote a letter that seemed to be a contract of sale according to the modern contract method, "If Mr. Liu thinks there is nothing wrong, just sign the payment at the end. When the time comesDelivery, you pay, how about I give it to you?"

It's like something that elementary school students play house. Su Mu still thought it was impossible to get it out, but he was extremely confident that Liu Xiaoran would definitely sign it.

Sure enough, after Liu Xiaoran finished reading the horrific page, she signed her name very readily at the end.

"Okay." Liu Xiaoran's handwriting is neat and powerful, which is in stark contrast to Su Mu's handwriting. This made Su Mu learn from the pain again, and he still has to pay attention to practicing handwriting, otherwise no matter what he writes at that time, it seems that there will be something wrong.Not on the table.

"That's it. There should be two copies of this thing, one for you and one for me, but today there is only this one. Since you are the one who wants to give money, I will leave it to you. This isWe will hand over the voucher at that time." Su Mu folded the paper twice and handed it to Liu Xiaoran.

"Wait until these things are over."

Haiyan and Heqing, Guotai Minan.

"My lord, are you awake? I'm coming in?" Sensing voices inside, Lu Lingjue, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately jumped to the door and knocked on it.

"Enter."

Having obtained permission, Lu Lingjue immediately opened the door and rushed in, spreading all the results of his work in the past few days on Liu Xiaoran's desk: "My lord! I have already checked these files, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

He and Qi Hao have been going around for the past few days, and finally checked all these case files. He can't wait to hope that Liu Xiaoran can give him back the days of Xiumu, so that he can search for all kinds of delicious food in Capital City.

And walking in behind him was Qi Hao who didn't even know who to put his eyes on.

After Qi Hao came over, he bowed stiffly, and after deliberating for a while, he said: "My lord, I seem to have heard some rumors today, but I don't know if they are true or not."

Liu Xiaoran looked down at the case file that Lu Lingjue handed in, and asked without raising her head, "How?"

"It seems that some adults said that the emperor did not show up at the court this morning. And someone in the palace reported that the emperor was unwell and wanted to go to the palace a few years ago and return when the spring is warm."

My good fellow, this Qi Hao is also quite capable. Not long after the morning court ended, he already had news about this man, and he could even inquire about court secrets.

"The emperor is going to the palace at such a time?" Su Mu found it hard to understand. It is obvious that the prince and King Ning are fighting, but their father is going out of the city at this time?Doesn't this directly give the two sides a chance to fight?

"We don't know the specific situation, but..." Qi Hao opened the fan and shook it slightly, "It feels like Capital City always has a feeling that something big is going to happen."

"Big event? What big event can it be?" Lu Lingjue raised her head in confusion, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, so there shouldn't be something wrong during the new year, right?"

If this is the case, wouldn't the Xiu Mu in his year be gone?

Don't implicate mortals when gods fight.

Su Mu only heard the news from Qi Hao. As soon as he returned to the mansion, the father-in-law in the palace sent a message, saying that Su Mu should pack up immediately and go to the palace with the emperor.

"Let me go with you?" Su Mu couldn't believe it. He and the emperor had only met each other a few times. How could he bring himself with him when he went to the palace?

But the date has been set, and Su Mu has no room to refuse. He can only pack up and follow his father-in-law into the palace. All this happened so fast that Su Mu didn't even have a chance to tell others. Later, heIt is already on the carriage to the palace.

But he hasn't even seen the emperor's face yet.

It wasn't until the carriage had been going for an indefinite amount of time that Su Mu fell asleep and woke up. Only then did someone lift the curtain and respectfully said, "Marquis, we're here."

Before Su Mu could figure out the surrounding situation, he was invited to Ji Xiao's bedroom.

He stood outside respectfully for a long time before he was able to enter the door, but when he stood up after saluting and saw Ji Xiao who was half leaning on the slum, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He had only been back home for a few days, and when he saw Ji Xiao again, he felt like he was a different person. If Ji Xiao was sick before, but he could still see the majesty between his brows, then Ji Xiao now is as if he is about toIt was like a candle that had burnt out its lamp oil, lifeless, and even the eye sockets were sunken deeply.

"Your Majesty." Su Mu only felt that his eyes were a little sore. Ji Xiao always treated him with a pleasant face, like an elder in the family, but he didn't expect that he would look like this just after a few days of absence.

"Yu Zhi, sit down." Ji Xiao opened his eyes, his voice was hoarse and his breath was weak.

After screening away the others, Ji Xiao slowly opened his eyes again.

"You and your father...really alike."

This is not the first time Ji Xiao said this. Su Mu could see from his eyes that Ji Xiao was looking at Su Yi who had been away for many years through him.

"At that time, when I was the prince, I was also like Che'er. I was not favored by others. Although I had the name of a prince, no one was willing to support and get close to me. I could be regarded as a lonely person." Ji Xiao closed his eyes gently.It seemed that at this time, all the things that I had forgotten in the past began to become clear.

"That winter hunt, I wanted to show everyone that I was not a useless person, but I didn't expect to lose my way because I went deep into the mountains and met snow wolves again.See you soon."

Su Mu could already guess what Ji Xiao was going to say later. At such a time, there must be someone who would come down from the sky and save him. If you look at the context, it should be his father.

"At that time, your father told me that if you were born in this world, if you always think about being recognized by others, then you have never lived for yourself." Ji Xiao suddenly smiled softly, it was the first timeSomeone talked to him in such a lecture tone. Although he was in decline in the past, he was the crown prince after all. Even the Tai Tuo would not dare to speak like this, but Su Yi had not entered the court at that time, and did not know her own crown prince.Because of his identity, he gave himself a hard lesson just because he knew the reason why he went deep into the mountains.

When we met again later, Su Yi had already entered the army, and he was arranged to go out with the army. After recognizing herself, Su Yi didn't seem to be timid or uncomfortable, except for a slight change in address and etiquetteIn addition, I don't want to be as afraid of myself as some people are, nor do I look down on myself like many people.

"Your Highness, it's too cold outside, come to your tent to keep warm."

Su Yi lifted the curtain, and approached Ji Xiao's tent openly. This kind of scene is not uncommon. Whenever Su Yi needs to be on patrol at night, he will find a chance to sneak in and guide Ji Xiao's follow-up by the way.The direction and route of attack.

"He is a genius in military deduction. Even though he hadn't made his mark at the time, he had already shown his talent." Ji Xiao's words were not stingy in admiring Su Yi, which made Su Mu even more curious.Just how powerful Su Yi is can make this late emperor still remember her.

Ji Xiao is seven years older than Su Yi, but he is not as mature as Su Yi in handling things, and he is always taught by this young general who is younger than him.

On the eve of the decisive battle, he once asked Su Yi what he planned to do after returning to Beijing.

At that time, Su Yi, a young man in battle armor, stood in front of the curtain, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and thought for a while before answering.

"Naturally, I want to go to the best restaurant in the city, have a good meal, and then sleep without having to hear the sound. Finally, I will find some friends and go to the suburbs to have a hearty game."

Su Yi laughed: "How about your Highness, if there is a chance, would you like to come with me?"

Ji Xiao sighed for a long time, and looked at Su Mu after a long time, showing a somewhat lonely expression.

"I used to think that there would be such an opportunity in the end, but I didn't want to. When I remembered this incident again, he was no longer here."
