Shang Zhi didn't know why Su Jingnian wanted to help her.

She couldn't even think about it here. Su Jingnian was not friendly to her only meeting.

But all the signals pointed to Su Jingnian.

Shang Zhi felt that she needed to meet Su Jingnian for a while. Sometimes, when looking at someone, she could not just look at his surface.

At the banquet, although Su Jingnian sarcastically mocked her, it actually resolved King Yu's difficulties with her.

"Miss, do I still have to check it down?" Chen Qiu asked.

Shang Zhi shook his head, "No need to check, I'll go see him in person."

Chen Qiu invited Su Jingnian to Tongfu Restaurant for Shangzhi.

Before the agreed time, Shang Zhi went to Tongfu Restaurant, sat in the window of the private room on the third floor, looking at the busy street, thinking about what kind of person Su Jingnian was.

Apart from the first meeting and hearing about Su Jingnian's infamy outside, I knew nothing about anything else. Once I remembered it, there were only a few labels and those pair of gloomy eyes.

She knew too little about everything about the Su family.

Suddenly, she saw Su Yi riding a horse, throwing the reins to the waiter, and entering the restaurant.

Shang Zhi invited Chen Qiu and asked her to invite Su Yi to come.

After a while, Su Yi came in wearing a black outfit. He was slender, dark in skin, and his facial features became more and more angular and calm. Shang Zhi raised his lips and smiled, "Brother, are you here in the city today?"

"Well. I'll go find you. Gong Xingchen said you are in a restaurant. When I see you, I will go back to the military camp." Su Yi sat opposite Shangzhi and Chen Qiu poured tea and handed it to him.

Su Yi raised his hand to take it, took a sip of tea, and asked Shang Zhi, "You have something to do if you invite me?"

"Brother, what kind of person is Su Jingnian?" Shang Zhi felt that Su Yi and Su Jingnian grew up together, and he knew the most about Su Jingnian!

Su Yi frowned and his eyebrows were calm, and he was also thinking about how to describe Su Jingnian.

"He is unruly by nature and is not restricted. Uncle Er felt that the title of the Marquis' Mansion did not need him to inherit, so he did not demand high from him. He only hoped that he could obtain a position and live a stable life. Seeing that he was becoming less and less uncontrollable, he was fighting all day long, and was domineering, and often caused trouble outside, so he sent him to the military camp to hone his skills. It was not very useful. Uncle Er had a headache with him and didn't know how to discipline him, so he would let him go. As long as he didn't cause any death, he turned a blind eye to him."

Shang Zhi held the teacup in both hands, rubbed the warm cup body with his fingertips, and looked at Su Yi through the sloping mist, "Why is there any news that he is fierce, violent, cruel and unkind?" And he was not afraid of men and women, bullying men and dominating women.

Su Yi pressed the corner of his mouth down, his eyebrows frowned, and the trace on his face easily dissipated, and then he wrote solemnly, "He's father and brother are the deputy generals of his grandfather. Her father and brother died in battle. Her sister-in-law fell ill and did not survive a year, leaving behind an orphan, who was raised by He's knees. He Yunxi is two years older than Su Jingnian and has a very calm and dignified temperament. Su Jingnian has a good relationship with her, just like a biological sibling."

Su Yi paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to continue.

Shang Zhi didn't know that there was another incident. She had heard little about the Su family since she returned to Beijing. She had never seen He Yunxi when she attended the He family's birthday party.

"Su Jingnian's temperament has changed drastically, is it related to her?" Shang Zhi had such a guess in his mind.

Su Yi said 'um', looked at Shang Zhi's curious appearance, and finally said concisely: "She is dead."

As for how to die, Su Yi didn't say much.

Shang Zhi felt that this matter was not simple. If it was just an ordinary cause of death, it would not have completely changed Su Jingnian.

Shang Zhi wanted to ask again, but Su Yi looked unwilling to say more, so Shang Zhi didn't ask again.

It was not that Su Yi deliberately concealed it, but that it was really not very glorious. He didn't want Shang Zhi to know how dark human nature is.

"I made an appointment with Su Jingnian." Shang Zhi told Su Yi about the Queen and the Marquis of Xingning, "I suspect that Su Jingnian was helping behind the scenes."

Su Yi was not surprised. Su Jingnian was a very short-lived person back then. However, his temperament changed drastically and he no longer stayed with their brothers, and hanged with a group of friends. Later, after his legs were broken, he stayed in silence and rarely appeared in front of others.

He felt that no matter how a person changes, something deeply embedded in his bones and blood would not be erased as long as he did not destroy his conscience.

Su Yi glanced at the sky and said, "Let the waiter come up to order food, Su Jingnian will not come to the appointment."

"Brother, how do you know he won't come?" Shang Zhi asked in confusion.

"After his leg broke, he never left the mansion again." Su Yi ordered Shen Qiu to call waiter.

Shang Zhi was upset, "I didn't find out clearly. If I asked him rashly, I would abruptly."

"No." Su Yi ordered a few home-cooked dishes, "If you want to see him, just go to Su Mansion. There... is also your home."

What happened at He's birthday party was that Shang Zhi didn't want to enter the Su family again.

"Let's talk about it." Shang Zhi felt that he had found an opportunity another day and thanked Su Jingnian again.

As Su Yi expected, Su Jingnian did not come until the two of them finished their supper.

Shang Zhi and Su Yi came out of the family and happened to meet King Li.

King Li has a handsome appearance, a gentle and peaceful temperament, and looks like he has no temper.

Shang Zhi bowed to him, and the King of Li smiled and said, "There is no need to be so polite outside."

"The courtesy cannot be abolished." Su Yi said: "We will not disturb the prince, let's leave first."

The King of Li nodded.

Shang Zhi and Su Yi went downstairs.

King Li stood in front of the window of the private room, looked at Shang Zhi and Su Yi standing at the entrance of the restaurant, and whispered to the person beside him: "Their brother-sister relationship seems to be very good."

Xingning Hou glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Shangzhi is not stupid for the family background of Su Qin and his family. You should know how to do it. It is not surprising that the brother and sister have a good relationship."

King Li shook his head, not very much agree with the words of Xingning Hou.

Shang Zhi is famous and rich, and the Su Qin family cannot provide much help to her.

After all, Shang Zhi’s husband’s background is not low. The grandson of Prince Jia and the Su Qin family can provide the help that Prince Jia can provide.

As soon as he met, he saw a look of defense in Su Yi's eyes and subconsciously blocked Shang Zhi behind him.

King Li felt that the brother-sister relationship between them was not mixed with benefits.

It is inevitable that he will have some thoughts, but this thought is hidden very deeply, and the Xingning Hou on the side did not notice it.

"The Marquis invites me out today. Is there something important to discuss with me?" King Li closed the window, turned around, and looked at the haggard and marquis Xingning, how could he have the same spirit as before?

The Queen of Xingning has been suppressed by the queen these days. What’s worse is that the Queen of Xingning found that there were people who were stationed by Emperor Jin around him, so she did not dare to act rashly. "Private recruitment of soldiers has reached the regulation, and most court officials have already stood on our side. We lack military power. If we can win over the people of the Five City Military and Ma Si, it will be the most beneficial to us."

King Li felt that Xingning Hou was almost a useless chess. He knew very well in his heart how many methods the queen had. He could not suppress Xingning Hou and had no room for a turnaround. However, the queen recently took action against Xingning Hou. He realized that many forces were taking action. Xingning Hou would collapse sooner or later, and he could not stand up to help Xingning Hou, which aroused the suspicion of his father.

What's more, Xingning Hou has already reflected his value, and has no value of redundant use and is not worthy of his rescue.

Xingning Hou was a man who was most profit-oriented. King Li conspired with him, but he just wanted to take over the old subordinates of King Yu. Now the Marquis of Xingning has surrendered to him. King Li did not intend to cooperate more with the Marquis of Xingning Hou, but was afraid that he would become the second King Yu. But if he wanted to kick Xingning Hou away, he would probably tear off his skin.

The Xingning Hou is now proposing to win over the soldiers and horses of the five cities. This is just a chance. Therefore, King Li did not disturb Xingning Hou, "Go according to your plan."

The Marquis of Xingning urgently wanted King Li to pull Emperor Jin off the horse, and he ascended the throne and saved his life.

"I will send a letter to the commander tonight." The Marquis of Xingning received the approval of King Li, and his heart was settled. However, there was another thing to tell King Li, "Xue Shenzhi is now standing behind King Xiang. Before Zhu Chun took down the Jia County Prince's Mansion, the Jia County Prince stood behind Xue Shenzhi. I was very uneasy. Emperor Jin of Yuan would look at King Xiang differently because of the support of King Jia. There was a person who could just restrain Xue Shenzhi."

King Li was surprised and didn't know how many trump cards Xingning Hou had in his hand.

The Marquis of Xingning said: "The Li family was destroyed and not all of them were beheaded. There is also my third brother's daughter. When she married into the Li family, she was convicted of the Li family. The third brother asked me to save my niece's life. I valued the most flesh and blood relationship and finally let him go. I didn't know that she had a posthumous child in her belly. Now in Qinghe County, Danzhou Prefecture, her son is Li Mingli. Apart from this blood relationship, he and Xue Shenzhi are also classmates, and the relationship is pretty good. The Li family cleared up grievances, not a criminal minister, he is very talented, and the prince can invite him back to the capital."

How could King Li not know the meaning of Xingning Hou? He used Li Mingli to restrain Xue Shenzhi. Although this practice was despicable, it was very useful.

Xue Shenzhi was valued by his father. Maybe he would become an important official in the future and would become a threat to him, and Li Mingli would be useful.

"Prince, Li Mingli is now a scholar's fame. He will definitely be in high school in the next provincial examination." Xingning Hou was very regretful of his suppression of Li Mingli at this moment. If he did not suppress Li Mingli, he would be able to pass the Jinshi exam now!

At the beginning, I didn’t know that Xue Shenzhi was still alive and did not suppress Li Mingli, because I was afraid that he would take revenge after becoming a talent.

King Li pondered and said, "You go and ask Li Mingli and his son to return to Beijing."

The Xingning Hou smiled bitterly, "If I go to write, I am afraid that their mother and son will hide, and the prince will do this matter himself."

A glimmer flashed in King Li's eyes. The Marquis of Xingning and Li Mingli were not intimate, so it was more convenient for him to reuse Li Mingli.

When Xingning Hou saw King Li, he was very interested in Li Mingli and relaxed a little. King Xiang seemed to be careless and incompetent, but the strength accumulated in secret was shocking. Behind Xue Shenzhi was not only the Prince of Jia County, but also the two Su Qin families. One was valued by the emperor and the other held military power. Only these two were not the King Li who could compete with each other, he thought of Li Mingli and let him restrain Xue Shenzhi.

Returning from Tongfu Restaurant, the Marquis of Xingning immediately wrote a letter to the commander of the Five City Military Command, stamped a private seal, and sent someone to send it to him.

The commander of the Five Cities Military Command received a letter from the Marquis of Xingning and quickly submitted it to the national sect.

The national master opened the letter, glanced lightly, took out a box, and took out a deed signed by the commander to him.

The commander held the letter of the deed and felt relieved. It would cost him to get the national master to save him. The letter of the deed was in the hands of the national master and was anxious, fearing that it was not something that could be done. Now that he took it back, it was like he had a new life.

"Sir, this letter is not harmful to me, right?" the commander asked uncertainly.

"No." Lou Su put the letter on the desk, looked up at the commander, "continue to contact him and put this in his study."

The commander held the box in his hand, and felt heavy and left with the box.

Lou Su stared at the private seal for a while, and gave the letter and a stack of evidence of guilt to Jingyue, asking him to send it to the queen.

"Master, news has been heard from the foreign tribe. Please check it out." Jingyue took out a letter sealed in varnish from her sleeve.

Lou Su took the letter and looked at the contents inside. He changed color for the first time. He suddenly stood up. There was a hint of ups and downs in his indifferent tone, "Go, prepare a carriage!"

Jingyue asked quickly: "Is there any news?"

Lou Su's eyes were floating, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his expression did not change. "You go and prepare the carriage, I will give medicine to Emperor Jin of Yuan."

"Yes." Jingyue retreated.

Lou Su entered the palace, and Emperor Jin of Yuan Dynasty sat in a cloak and reviewed the memorials.

"What is the reason why the national master enters the palace today?" Emperor Jin of Yuan put down his memorial and looked up at Lou Su.

Lou Su put the pill on the dragon's desk, "The emperor asked me to refine another immortal pill. Now the materials are in the process. I will go to get the medicine, and the return date is uncertain."
