Chapter 9 Deception 2
"Second brother, is this osmanthus cake delicious?"
After Su Yanqiu finished eating one osmanthus cake, he reached out and took out another one from the box.
This osmanthus cake tastes richer than the ones he had eaten before.
He didn't expect that Su Yuheng was the only one who remembered his preferences.
The childhood memories with Su Yuheng came to his mind, and he even felt that he shouldn't have made that plan with Liu.
He even felt a little regretful.
But for the Su family, he had to.
He curled his lips and smiled, "What Heng'er bought is naturally the most delicious. Second brother likes it."
"Heng'er likes it too. As long as second brother is happy, Heng'er is willing to do anything."
Liu stood behind the two of them, her cold gaze falling on Su Yuheng's breathtakingly beautiful face, and she thought of General Shen's wife, Zhao.
I cursed her in my heart as a vixen.
Liu Jinshu stood not far away, watching Su Yuheng hand the osmanthus cake to Su Yanqiu, and then watching Su Yanqiu look at Yuheng with eyes full of doting, and jealousy suddenly grew.
Not only was she jealous of Su Yuheng, she also hated Su Yanqiu.
"Cousin." She clenched her fists, suppressed her anger, and pretended to be calm as she walked in front of Yuheng.
"Cousin, you're so late, just to buy osmanthus cake for your cousin. You must have taken the trouble."
Su Yuheng raised the corners of his lips, looking obedient.
"What's the big deal? I'm doing this willingly. As long as my second brother likes it, it's all worth it."
"but……"
She glanced at the eight or nine guards around her and asked deliberately, "Why did Second Brother dispatch these guards?"
Liu Jinshu said sarcastically, "Why else? Of course he's going to look for my cousin. My cousin is so worried that she's coming home so late that my cousin is almost going crazy. He sent guards to look for her everywhere."
"If you don't know, you would think it's my cousin..." Liu Jinshu's words stopped at his lips, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met Liu's cold eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuheng raised his eyes slightly and met Su Yanqiu's gaze. Then he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Second brother, I'm so sorry for making you worry about me."
"It's all Heng'er's fault. The pastry shop Heng'er usually goes to closed early tonight. Heng'er heard that the osmanthus cake shop downstairs from Yipin Building is the best in all of Yanjing, so he stayed a little longer."
"Second brother is not angry." Su Yanqiu said gently: "I'm glad you're back. Go back to your room and rest first."
"kindness."
——
Late at night, after Su Yuheng returned to Fangfeiyuan, the maid Bai Lu turned on the warm water for her to wash.
The dim candlelight flickered slightly, illuminating the beauty in the bathtub.
Su Yuheng closed his eyes and leaned quietly on the bathtub, thinking about the conversation between Su Mingzhe and Huo Xingzhi in the side room of Yipin Building, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Young Master Yu? Could it be the stunning young master Yu Wushuang from the previous life?" Su Yuheng murmured.
Isn’t this the counselor beside the King of Qi in the previous life?
Could it be that both Prince Li and Prince Qi intend to recruit Yu Wushuang for their own use?
Su Yuheng seemed to have thought of something and got up from the bathtub.
Just as I changed my clothes, Bai Zhi came in from the side room.
Bai Zhi held a painting in her hand and said, "Miss, this is the painting you wanted."
Su Yuheng reached out to take the painting and slowly opened it. What he saw was a young general in armor and full of high spirits.
This is the Prince Li who won the battle three years ago.
"His Royal Highness Prince Li is truly beautiful. Miss, you may not know how many ladies from noble families in Yanjing want to marry into Prince Li's mansion."
"However, it is rumored that His Royal Highness Prince Li is not interested in women, but prefers men."
Su Yuheng was amused by Bai Zhi's words. She said softly, "Who said he doesn't like women? It's just that he hasn't met someone who would make him break his vow."
She put away the scroll in her hand and looked at Bai Zhi.
"Don't tell anyone about this."
Bai Zhi nodded: "Yes, Miss."
After Bai Zhi left, Su Yuheng picked up the scroll and hung it on the wall next to the south window.
The night is rich.
After the lights in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion went out, it fell into silence.
In the main room of Fangfei Courtyard, the dim candlelight flickered slightly. Moonlight shone in through the window, stretching the shadow of the girl in the room into a slender shape.
Su Yuheng stood in front of Huo Xingzhi's portrait, looking at it quietly.
Until the hour of midnight, a very subtle sound of footsteps was heard outside the north window of the wing room.
She slowly opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of the slender figure in front of the west window.
Sure enough, it came.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and then she clasped her hands together and said devoutly, "Your Highness Prince Li, Yuheng has no other wishes in this life. I only wish to be married to Your Highness, to love each other without doubt, and to see each other often."
The figure at the west window swayed slightly, turned around and disappeared into Fangfei Courtyard.
"Master." In the study of Prince Li's mansion, Linglong stood in front of Huo Xingzhi and bowed.
"What did you see?" Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and put down the letter in his hand: "Have you seen the portrait of this king?"
Linglong nodded and said, "I saw the prince's portrait in Miss Su Si's room. Judging from the appearance in the painting, it seems to be the same as it was three years ago."
Huo Xingzhi narrowed his brows slightly and sneered.
"But what else did you see?"
Linglong: "Miss Su prayed before the portrait, wishing to be married to His Highness, to love each other deeply, and to see each other often."
As Linglong finished speaking, Huo Xingzhi's eyes changed slightly as he sat on the chair: "It's nice to see you every year."
"You go down first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Linglong left, guard Bai Ze came in from outside and walked in front of Huo Xingzhi.
"Master, do you really believe what Miss Su said? I always feel that she is not a simple woman."
"The West Suburb City God Temple is so dark, and she, a weak woman, went to the dilapidated temple alone. She is braver than any man."
Huo Xingzhi said, "I'm also very curious why she went to Huangcheng Temple alone. Could it be that she has some connection with the Shen family?"
However, after not seeing her for a year, she has indeed changed a lot.
When I met Su Yuheng at Princess Chaoyang's Mansion before, she was very well-behaved.
She looked timid and submissive, but when I saw her again now, I found that she had changed a lot.
Why she was so interested in Shen Tingzhou's affairs today that she went there so late at night was really puzzling to him.
"I know, so you don't need to worry about it."
…
Su Yuheng, who was in Fangfei Courtyard, called the maid Bai Lu in after seeing the people leave.
"Miss."
Su Yuheng glanced casually at the portrait of Huo Xingzhi on the wall and said, "Put it away first. Put it in the most inconspicuous corner of the wing room. Don't let my brother notice it."
If Su Yanqiu knew that there was a portrait of Huo Xingzhi hidden in her room, he would definitely suspect that everything she did was just a show.
However, if Huo Xingzhi's people came to her Fangfei Courtyard again and found that the portrait was gone, they would also suspect that she had tricked him.
Thinking of this, Su Yuheng could only ask her maid Bai Lu to take the portrait down from the wall, put it in a secret box, and throw it in the most inconspicuous corner of the room.
Huo Xing was extremely powerful. Apart from the retired emperor and the current emperor, he was the most powerful person.
In the future, he will fight against the King of Qi in the fight for the throne.
She lay on the chaise longue, looking at the maid Bai Lu
"How's things going with my cousin?"
Bai Lu walked up to Su Yuheng with a smile on her face and whispered, "Miss, I have followed your instructions and asked Tian Shuang to tell my cousin what you said."
Su Yuheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "That's good."
"Contact Tianshuang tonight and see if Liu Shujin will go to the Su Family Ancestral Hall."
"I'm waiting to see what good things are inside the Su Family Ancestral Hall. My good second brother hasn't let anyone set foot inside for so many years."
Su Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be that there is something shameful in this Su family ancestral hall?"
