Chapter 137: Empress: You are a talented woman! Not a talented man!

Su Wan'er got up early as usual and found that Su Linhan had already gotten up and left. But Su Wan'er didn't think anything was wrong.

I got out of bed and put on my clothes. The maids around me had already brought me toiletries. After I was done,

Su Wan'er first practiced in the yard for a while with the sword given to her by her master, and then ran to copy the calligraphy.

After finishing copying, he imitated Su Changan, put his hands on his hips, looked at the copybook and made a very satisfied "hum" sound.

Su Wan'er scratched her head a little embarrassedly, always feeling that it was cool to imitate her older sister.

But it seems that I can never learn the essence of my elder sister.

But Su Wan'er didn't care about anything. When she finished these two things, it was still early morning outside.

There was no way, Su Wan'er got up too early.

As per her daily habit, Su Wan'er went to her grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and Su Linhan's yard to pay her respects in turn.

Without paying any attention to Su Zhaoxin who was still lying in bed, he hung the sword that Yuan Ruxi had given him horizontally around his waist, took some of the small change he had saved and left the Su Mansion.

Before leaving, Su Wan'er hesitated for a moment whether to take the jade pendant given by her "sister-in-law" last night.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she decided not to take it. It would be bad if she lost it.

So hide carefully inside the pillow.

After going out, Su Wan'er ran all the way to the study.

Su Wenqing and the others were not worried about Su Wan'er going out alone, after all, they had sent people to follow and protect her.

And compared to Su Zhaoxin, they are completely confident in Su Wan'er.

"The youngest daughter of the Su family is very well-educated and intelligent. She is also cute and always greets everyone she meets. Even though she is so young, she is already a scholar."

These words were spread by the people living around the Su Mansion, so after Su Wan'er left the mansion, everyone she met was happy to see her.

Especially when he saw Su Wan'er bowing and greeting him, he immediately returned the greeting.

Even if you are not a scholar, you will still return the gift with a smile.

However, looking at Su Wan'er's back, some people who were fishing in the river felt a little regretful. Why? They just thought that the pair of pigtails were more festive in the past.

But on second thought, in this state, with the sword hanging behind her, she does look a bit like that Miss Chang'an. She is pretty and delicate anyway.

Su Wan'er was going to the study opened by her brother Su Liheng.

Just to buy today's journal.

Last night, she asked Xun Kuang whether today's journal would include her elder sister's poems and essays.

Xun Kuang said that he had asked someone to make a printing template before and it would be sent out today.

So Su Wan'er ran out early in the morning.

Along the way, Su Wan'er saw many members of the imperial guards, as well as many constables going in and out of some inns and pharmacies.

The little girl felt a little curious, so she stopped at the door of a drugstore and listened to what the people outside who were also watching the fun were saying.

Hearing this, the little girl was a little surprised.

Because someone actually dared to go and kill the Eighth Prince.

Moreover, the prince saved the Eighth Prince and was seriously injured himself.

The Eighth Prince was only slightly injured.

As for the assassins, they were all injured and fled. Now His Majesty has ordered a city-wide search, so the imperial guards are patrolling the streets and the detectives are searching through pharmacies and inns.

Su Wan'er also heard that all the people from the Dali Temple had been dispatched.

Su Wan'er was not a gossipy person. After understanding the whole process, she was too lazy to listen to it.

Big sister’s journal is important, if you go too late you won’t be able to buy it.

However, Su Wan'er didn't care what would happen to the Eighth Prince, because on the day her elder sister entered the mansion, the Eighth Prince had made things difficult for her.

So Su Wan'er doesn't like that person very much, and doesn't care what happens.

All the way to the study.

Su Wan'er frowned, with a look of sadness on her face.

Because she saw a lot of people in the study, obviously waiting to buy the publication. This made her more upset than hearing that the Eighth Prince had been assassinated.

No solution

Su Wan'er sighed, feeling that she could only use her status as the sixth lady of the Su family.

So he trotted to the door of the study and looked at the person in charge of the study.

The steward was busy and didn't pay attention to the little girl, but suddenly he remembered something and immediately looked at the little girl again.

He recognized her immediately as the younger sister of his boss.

I didn't dare to neglect it immediately.

Su Wan'er also took out the money directly and said she wanted a journal.

The manager didn't dare to take the money and immediately gave a journal to Su Wan'er.

Su Wan'er left the money and said, 'My brother loves money the most, and he can't afford to lose a penny.'

After saying this, Su Wan'er didn't care about the looks of the manager and the people around her who didn't buy the journal. She took the journal and turned away.

Now she was going to the place where she often read books to read her elder sister's poems.

But we didn't go there directly. We went to a fried dumpling stall on the way to buy some food.

At the stall, Su Wan'er heard several scholars talking about her elder sister, so she listened.

I found that all they said was how great my elder sister was, and how her poems and essays were still masterpieces that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Su Wan'er was so happy.

Especially when I heard the students thanking His Majesty for granting so many favors, and they kept saying good things about their elder sister and sister-in-law.

Su Wan'er was so proud that she was almost about to put her hands on her hips and hum.

After getting the fried dumplings, Su Wan'er continued jogging.

However, when they arrived at Wubenfang, Su Wan'er saw so many people and went over curiously.

As a result, I saw a young man who was yawning and had dark circles under his eyes sitting on a stone block nearby. He was wearing the official uniform of the Dali Temple and had a sword on his waist. He looked like a person who did not work hard.

but

Su Wan'er knew this person. Although she had only met him once, she was deeply impressed by him because he was an unlucky guy.

Su Wan'er stepped forward and bowed, "Wan'er greets Senior Lian Qiao."

Lian Qiao, who had not slept all night, turned his head when he heard the words. Seeing that it was Su Wan'er, he immediately smiled. Lian Qiao had a very good impression of Su Wan'er.

But just as he was about to speak, Lian Qiao looked around and found that Su Wan'er didn't seem to be accompanied by an adult, so he asked, "Are you alone?"

Su Wan'er nodded: "Yes, alone."

After asking, Su Wan'er glanced inside Wubenfang and asked, "Is it because of the Eighth Prince's matter?"

Lian Qiao nodded and said nothing more because he had been told not to say anything more.

Su Wan'er looked at Lian Qiao's dark circles, thought for a moment, and finally handed the fried dumplings in her hand to Lian Qiao.

Lianqiao was actually very hungry. After all, he had been busy since midnight yesterday and there had been no movement at all.

Looking at the fried dumplings, Lian Qiao swallowed his saliva, wondering whether to take them or not.

Su Wan'er smiled and said, "I've eaten. This is a snack, but you have to give me two. I want to feed the little yellow dog over there that no one wants."

Lian Qiao looked at Su Wan'er and felt that there was something wrong with what she said.

Su Wan'er was not very interested in the Eighth Prince's excitement, so after giving the fried dumplings to Lian Qiao, she said goodbye and left.

Lian Qiao was about to say something, but found that Su Wan'er had disappeared.

I could only look down at the dumplings in my hands with some embarrassment.

Hey, I was fed by the little girl.

Su Wan'er was still jogging along the way. When she heard someone talking about her elder sister, she stopped to listen more.

Hearing people praising her elder sister as "a banished immortal who came down to earth to be a poet in the world", the little girl became very proud.

I listened for a while longer before leaving.

She just likes to hear others talk about how great her older sister is.

Su Wan'er jogged all the way and came to the entrance of the alley not far from Wubenfang. There were a lot of people coming and going here, but the strange thing was that the entrance of the alley was a corner, so not many people would pass by in this narrow alley.

When Su Wan'er was going from the mansion to the place where she often read books, she happened to pass by here and met a little yellow dog.

I felt sorry for it, so I fed it some food every time I passed by.

Originally, she was thinking about taking the dog home, but although the puppy always ate her food, it would never follow her, so Su Wan'er gave up.

Su Wan'er looked into the alley and found the little yellow dog inside, so she took out the fried dumplings and walked into the narrow alley.

The little yellow dog was very strange today. When it saw Su Wan'er coming in, it immediately barked a few times, as if it didn't want her to go in again, and it looked into the alley with a low growl as if facing a great enemy.

This made Su Wan'er feel a little strange, and she couldn't help but look inside carefully.

I found that there was still a pile of broken bamboo baskets and wooden fences inside, just like usual.

Su Wan'er looked curiously at the little yellow dog that ran over and kept pulling her clothes, as if trying to get her to leave.

Then he looked into the alley in confusion.

Then

Su Wan'er saw a pair of eyes staring at her through the gap of the bamboo basket.

Su Wan'er was startled and took two steps back, reaching for the dagger at her waist.

But at this time.

Bang!

But a bamboo basket fell down.

Su Wan'er also saw the man's face clearly. He looked very easy-going, but his face was pale, and there was a scar on his chest.

Where the bamboo basket fell, Su Wan'er also saw a sword stained with blood.

The man looked at Su Wan'er and wanted to move, but when he moved, he saw blood flowing out of his chest again.

Su Wan'er had never seen anything like this before and was shocked.

The little yellow dog jumped in front of Su Wan'er, growled at the man, and protected Su Wan'er.

The man had a look of struggle and pain on his face. He took out a medicine bag with his other hand and poured all the remaining white powder in it onto his wound.

Apparently the medicine was very good, because the man seemed to feel better immediately, and his bloodshot eyes looked at Su Wan'er again.

It's Su Wan'er's side.

Looking at the paper containing white medicine powder in the man's hand, he was surprised, because the words on the paper were his older sister's.

And the three words "Su Wan'er" were written on the paper.

Looking at the paper, Su Wan'er looked at the man again, wondering if this man was the one who assassinated the Eighth Prince, and even more wondering if this man was related to her elder sister. If so, then she should find a way to save him.

The man also noticed Su Wan'er's abnormality and was a little confused.

Su Wan'er swallowed her saliva, and after a moment of silence, she asked carefully, "Why do you have Sister Mao Mao's medicine?"

…

Su Changan actually didn't pay much attention to the Queen Mother and the assassination of the Eighth Prince.

Because Yan Ruyu has said what needs to be said.

This is the whole process she knew.

So even if Su Changan thought about it carefully, it was just a bunch of guesses.

Guessing may not be correct, so Su Changan was too lazy to guess these things, not to mention

Whether the Eighth Prince and the Queen Mother live or die, it seems to have nothing to do with him.

Death is best.

Just check while you are still alive.

However, only a few people knew about the assassination of the Queen Mother, because two ninth-rank masters entered Xingqing Palace silently and were not discovered until they took action.

It would be too embarrassing to tell this matter to others, so Xia Fengxiang kept it secret.

The Queen Mother also kept her mouth shut.

So Su Changan was too lazy to think or guess about these two things.

What's more

He also suffered today.

Because Lian Wei was not here today, he was called over by Xia Fengxiang in the morning.

So the people who fought with him.

It’s Yan Yunxiao!

Although Yan Yunxiao didn't really attack him, and he pushed himself to the third level to fight Su Changan.

But no matter what, Yan Yunxiao is still a master of the ultimate level, and this is a face-to-face battle.

Just by feeling Yan Yunxiao's aura, Su Changan could clearly feel that it was a bit scary!

He is completely not on the same level as Lian Wei or Yan Ruyu.

Every punch from Yan Yunxiao made Su Changan feel suffocated.

but

In the end, Su Changan finally found a chance to fight back and chopped down with his knife, hitting the back of Yan Yunxiao's hand.

Yan Yunxiao's gauntlets were broken.

But even if there is such a counterattack.

Su Changan still suffered a lot, because after this, Yan Yunxiao became even more powerful.

On the way back, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "You must have suffered a lot."

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what was going on.

But when Su Changan looked at the wine gourd in Mao Mao's arms, he understood it all at once and said with a smile: "Miss, you are actually quite good. After all, mother never took action every time. However, mother was actually quite uncomfortable today, because she wanted you to feel her power but couldn't hit you. For her, it was quite difficult."

After that, Yan Ruyu said, "In fact, the fact that you were able to hit mother once has already surprised everyone, because even if mother's realm is suppressed to the third realm, the punch alone is at least above the fifth level."

At this point, Yan Ruyu frowned and said, "In fact, in my opinion, Miss is already good enough to fight against a fourth-grade warrior. After practicing more and becoming familiar with the moves, you will be able to fight against a fifth-grade warrior. But your martial arts method is really strange."

Speaking of this, Su Changan thought for a moment and then said, "I feel like I'm about to break through. I'm just a little bit away from it."

Yan Ruyu smiled helplessly, then said seriously: "I have written a letter to my father, using the falcon he left behind to communicate with my mother. I believe it will be delivered in five or six days at most. He should know why you are here, after all, he was the one who brought [Yiweiting]."

Su Changan nodded, but when he saw Maomao holding Yan Yunxiao's big gourd with an angry look on his face, he thought about making a joke.

But thinking about the fact that this girl lost money today, I decided to give up.

The reason why he lost money was that in recent days, Maomao would make bets with Zhou Qianhong and others in the morning, asking whether he could fight back against Lian Wei, or even more.

These days, the cat wins every time.

But today, Maomao gambled that he could fight back twice.

As a result, she hit Yan Yunxiao, causing Maomao to lose all the money she had won in the past few days. After Yan Yunxiao found out about this, he punished her by making her fill Yan Yunxiao's gourd with brewed wine.

Su Changan understands cats.

Wine is a small matter.

But for cats, money is a big deal! The kind that supports the sky!

Maomao noticed that Su Changan was looking at her, and she raised her eyes to look at Su Changan with a bad temper, as if to say, why are you so disappointing.

Su Changan reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

But when you reach the corner of Lingqi Pavilion.

Su Changan saw that not only Lian Wei was standing at the gate of the yard, but also the people who usually followed Xia Fengxiang.

Seeing this, Su Changan quickened his pace.

When he arrived at the door, Su Changan saw that it was indeed Xia Fengxiang who came, and he was sitting in the hall, flipping through a book.

Su Changan walked into the yard and Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan.

After Yan Ruyu and Maomao paid their respects, they consciously left the yard because they really couldn't bear to watch this couple.

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, said nothing, and suddenly threw himself into Xia Fengxiang's arms.

Xia Fengxiang was caught off guard by Su Changan's sudden move, especially when he felt Su Changan pinching his stomach with his hands. His face flushed, and then he lowered his head and said, "Su Changan! Are you sick?"

Su Changan turned over, rested his head on Xia Fengxiang's legs, and nodded: "Wife, I'm tired. Aunt Yan hurt me. Tell me about Aunt Yan."

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and cursed, "If you want to say something, go ahead and say it yourself. And get up quickly. Come over here as soon as you see me, you're like a child."

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, whose face was flushed, and said, "Is there something I haven't told you?"

Xia Fengxiang was a little curious, but when he looked at Su Changan, he immediately said seriously: "If you dare to say those disgusting words, believe it or not, I will let Aunt Yan really beat you!"

Su Changan frowned, "It seems a bit corny, how about not saying it anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan.

Su Changan smiled and said, "I just want to ask, how do you make me like you more and more every day?"

Xia Fengxiang was stunned, but the next moment his face turned even redder. He then grabbed Su Changan's cheeks and rubbed them for a while before angrily saying, "How corny! Who would have thought of saying so many corny words!"

Su Changan's blushing face made him look even better, especially when he was smiling, which made his appearance even better.

Xia Fengxiang looked at her and turned his eyes away, not daring to look any further. If he looked again he would be unable to resist kissing her again.

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that I am a great talent?"

Xia Fengxiang corrected: "It's a talented woman! Not a talented man."

…

Ps: There is nothing much to say. I want to confess my love to all of you on this Chinese Valentine's Day. My love for you is blatant and open!
