Chapter 222 Two Guards Jiang Miou
Ye Huaizhen nodded to him, "It's okay now."
The two stood in the corridor and looked at each other. Even the three officials were unable to catch the kidnapper, which showed how deeply the enemy was hiding. It was not easy to find the murderer who killed Ye's father.
Seeing Su Dalang coming from one end of the corridor, Ye Huaizhen whispered, "Anyway, we have been looking for him for so many years, there is no need to rush. The capital is so dangerous, so we should persuade the young master to return to Master Su."
She is Lord Su's darling, and Ye Huai really cannot bear this responsibility.
Her thoughts were exactly what Hua Ping was thinking, and she nodded, "Don't worry, catching the enemy's spies is not only to uphold justice for Lord Ye, but also for our great Dayin."
Su Dalang was worried all night and came to see his sister early in the morning: "Ajin? Ajin..."
Su Ruojin came out of the room and asked, "Brother, have you not entered the Imperial College yet?"
Su Anzhi saw that his sister looked much better, and he felt relieved. "Ajin, there's nothing to do in Beijing, go back to your parents."
"After attending the Yang family's promotion banquet on August 5, I will go back to Weizhou County."
Su Dalang was worried, "I can take your place in the affairs of the Yang family. It's summer, you should go home and have a rest."
Su Ruojin has already promised Yang Si Niang, and it will only take two or three days.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll be at home and won't go anywhere."
"Okay." Since she was little, her sister has always been a little adult with her own opinions, and Su Anzhi can't do anything about her. "Then don't go out casually. Even if you have to go out, don't save people casually or leave everyone's sight."
"Got it." Su Ruojin assured Su Dalang again and again, and he reluctantly went to the Imperial College to study.
Su Dalang going to school made Su Ruojin realize a problem. From now on, his whole family will be in Weizhou County, and he will be the only one studying in the capital. Isn't it unsafe to go to and from school?
Thinking of this, Su Ruojin became uneasy. How about letting her elder brother live in the Imperial College to reduce the risk factor?
In the morning, Zhao Lan woke up when Su Ruojin was still asleep. He took the opportunity to go back to the secret base of the Exploration Division to meet with Mr. Shen. Unexpectedly, Prince Jin was also there.
When the Prince of Jin saw his youngest son, he started to scold him, "For the sake of a young lady, are you crazy or what? Not only did you unite all the troops of the Imperial City Military Department and the Dali Temple, you even used secret agents. Do you want the new emperor to find out the bottom of the Prince of Jin's Mansion?"
Zhao Lan had no expression on his face and allowed Prince Jin to lecture and beat him.
Mr. Shen stood behind Zhao Lan, not daring to plead for the young master. Yesterday's scene was indeed excessive. There was no way that there was no impeachment by the imperial envoy at the morning court today. In the next few days or during this period of time, the young master would probably be the subject of discussion among all the court officials. It was no wonder that King Jin was angry.
King Jin was so angry that his son didn't even fart. King Jin pounded the table and said, "You want to piss me off to death, don't you?"
Zhao Lan then spoke slowly, "Instead of thinking about how to be mad at your son, father should think about how to face the emperor's thundering wrath."
Prince of Jin: ...Evil son, what an evil son!
Prince Jin was just about to sit down and take a breath when he was irritated by his son's leisurely tone and flew into a rage again. "You just want to irritate me." After saying that, he threw his sleeves in anger and strode out of the secret base of the Exploration Department.
Mr. Shen hurriedly bowed his head and went to see his old master off.
Prince Jin stopped in the courtyard until Mr. Shen walked up to him, then he looked up at the rising sun. "Lan'er made such a fuss yesterday that even if the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division is not dismissed, he will probably be suspended from his post for a period of time."
"What does the prince mean?"
King Jin looked at Mr. Shen, "Let Lan'er take a break."
"Then we are here..."
"Stop all the public affairs." King Jin suddenly changed the subject, "But..."
Mr. Shen nodded, "I understand."
"Yeah." Jin Wangchao looked around the room, then strode away with his hands behind his back. Behind him, the guards and secret guards who should leave left, and those who should stay stayed.
Mr. Shen looked at the two guards in their early thirties and said, "You two..."
"The prince asked us to stay with the young prince."
Mr. Shen asked, "I remember you protected the young master a few years ago, right?"
Gao Dayong said, "Sir, you remember correctly, on the Lantern Festival when the little prince was twelve years old, those two secret guards were us."
Mr. Shen then brought the two of them into the house, and they both went to pay their respects to the young master.
After I scolded him, I gave him two sweet dates?
Zhao Lan took a look and said to Mr. Shen, "On the surface, get two scouts with average qualifications to investigate Yang, and get rid of him when it's time to get rid of him, but secretly, have someone keep a close eye on me..."
Mr. Shen was about to nod, but his young master said, "If you find that he is going to harm the Su family or Ah Jin, stop him immediately."
Mr. Shen: ...Young Master, are you keeping an eye on people for Dayinchao or for the young lady you love?
But he said with difficulty: "He is now the favorite of the emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with him."
"Then find someone to promote him to a higher position."
Mr. Shen's eyebrows moved. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The higher you praise him, the more he will fall. However, the man surnamed Yang is not an ordinary person. "Young Prince, if it is confirmed that the man surnamed Yang is the leader of the Ula grass and allows him to get close to the emperor, it will be dangerous for the Dayin Dynasty..."
"Could it be that Prince Wei and I are vegetarians?"
Mr. Shen: …
Zhao Lan turned and left, followed by his two guards.
Shuangrui was not really used to having two more of the prince's personal guards, so he forced a fake smile and was very polite to the two of them.
After breakfast, Su Ruojin packed up and prepared to leave the old house and move back to the new one.
When I got on the carriage, I saw Mangzhong and asked, "Is there still no news about Li Xiuzhu?"
Mangzhong shook his head, "No, even Li is missing."
Thinking back to the first time she met Li's mother and daughter, and now that they are both missing, Su Ruojin was filled with emotion, "Why are these two women so miserable? It's really..."
Hua Ping reminded, "Second Madam, as long as these two people are not found, you and the Su family will be in danger. No matter what you do in the future, you need more people around you."
Su Ruojin agreed. She had finally grown up and she didn't want to be bullied.
Zhao Lan came to find Su Ruojin and met them at the entrance of Guihua Alley. Su Ruojin got off the carriage and was about to take his carriage, but she found that there were two guards beside the carriage who looked at her several times. She stopped in confusion.
"Have you two seen me?"
Gao Dayong smiled sheepishly, "Yes, young lady."
"where?"
Gao Dayong replied, "Seven years ago during the Lantern Festival, when Dr. Su hugged the young lady and pretended to cry."
Su Ruojin: ...Wasn’t that the first time she met Zhao Lan?
"You guys are protecting Prince Zhao from behind?" So her help was unnecessary that time?
"yes."
Her help was really unnecessary. No wonder Zhao Lan ignored her and acted as if he hated her when they first met. It turned out that she didn't need her help at all.
Zhao Lan came out of the carriage and heard their conversation. He recalled it and suddenly woke up. "That night, Ah Jin pretended to cry in order to lead me to a safe place?"
Su Ruojin nodded: "Yes." But she was looked down upon and rolled her eyes.
Zhao Lan smiled guiltily as he wondered what his father meant by giving him two guards at this time and having them appear in front of A Jin to bring up the past.
Sitting in Zhao Lan's carriage, Su Ruojin sighed, "I didn't expect you two still remembered something that happened so long ago. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."
Zhao Lan reached out and held her hand.
Su Ruojin subconsciously pulled back, but she was not as fast as him, and he caught her in his hand, "Ajin... you understand my feelings, right?"
This... Although she understood, Su Ruojin still found it unbelievable and couldn't help asking, "Young Prince Zhao, when we met, I was still a little kid in my father's arms!" Don't you feel weird at such a young age?
"Isn't it better to be childhood sweethearts?"
Su Ruojin: ...It sounds so beautiful, but this feeling...
"I...I..." She didn't know either. She certainly didn't dislike such a handsome and enchanting flower boy, but there seemed to be no other result between them except for dating. Wouldn't it be a waste of each other's emotions and youth if the relationship was not aimed at marriage?
The young lady lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhao Lan was anxious and squeezed her hand hard, "Ajin, I will marry you in this life."
She looked up suddenly, "But there is too much difference between us to be together."
"Ajin, why don't you believe me?" Zhao Lan said anxiously, "My father and mother have three sons, and I am not a prince. I have the final say on my marriage. I will go back now and ask my mother to find a matchmaker to propose marriage."
As he was about to get out of the car, Su Ruojin stopped him.
Zhao Lan only saw the young lady pulling him, but he didn't hear her say anything and was about to get off the car again.
Seeing that he was about to rush home to find a matchmaker, Su Ruojin quickly coaxed him, "I believe it, I believe it, you come up first."
The young lady finally gave in. Zhao Lan couldn't help but curl his lips. He returned to the carriage, took her hand and said, "Don't worry, my marriage with the young lady of the Lu family will never be successful."
"Why?" Su Ruojin didn't expect him to be so straightforward and confident.
Zhao Lan pulled the girl close to him, and while holding her soft hand, he analyzed, "My father may be the next clan leader. We are the closest relatives of the royal family, and we don't need to marry into the royal family to serve the imperial power. The Lu family is an external relative, and the new emperor has just ascended the throne. In order to win over the capable officials left by the King of Wei and the Crown Prince, he will definitely use my uncle's family for marriage."
Su Ruojin understood, "Then your mother..."
"She's just worrying about nothing."
Su Ruojin: ...If she has a son who talks about her like this in the future, she will probably beat him up.
"Hmm?" Zhao Lan saw that the young lady was silent and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing?" Su Ruojin thought to herself, the young man likes her so much, why not try having a relationship with him?
Try it or not, the little prince has been holding people's hands and playing with them for a long time.
It was the heat of autumn and the weather was still quite hot. Su Ruojin felt sweat on her palms. Then she came to her senses and found that Zhao Lan was pinching and playing with her hands.
Su Ruojin: ...
Just as she was about to pull away, she heard a cooing sound.
"What's that sound?"
Zhao Lan blushed slightly, "I've been so busy that I haven't even had time to eat breakfast."
Poor guy!
Seeing the young man deliberately playing the victim to gain sympathy, Su Ruojin smiled helplessly and quickly took him to Su Ji for breakfast.
After eating and drinking, like everyone else, Zhao Lan asked her what her plans were, hoping that she would leave the dangerous capital.
"Once the Yang family affairs are done, I will return to my parents."
Zhao Lan thought for a moment and said, "From now on, Gao Dayong and Lu Xiaocai will be your secret guards."
Su Ruojin quickly waved her hands and said, "That's your guard."
He shook his head, "This is my father's guard, just given to me this morning."
At first, Zhao Lan didn't understand why his father suddenly gave him two secret guards, but through the conversation between Gao Dayong and A Jin just now, he seemed to feel something, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood the meaning, so he didn't say much in front of the young lady.
"Then I can't accept it."
"Ajin..." Zhao Lan held the young lady's hand tightly, "I don't want any more kidnappings or anything like that to happen. Just think of them as people from the Investigation Department following you to catch spies from the enemy country."
Su Ruojin: ...It’s really a reason that I can’t refuse.
"They and Hua Ping, Mang Zhong and others are one in the open and one in the dark. Even if they are in Weizhou, I am relieved."
Su Ruojin could only nod and said, "Thank you, Zhao..."
"Um?"
"Brother Zhao."
The two of them returned to the Su family's new house in a loving manner, and Zhao Lan pestered them for a long time before he was willing to go back to work.
Su Ruojin covered her face. Are they in love already?
When Su Dalang came back in the evening, she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Zhao Lan that her brother lived in the Imperial College. She was so embarrassed that she covered her face. Did she fall in love so quickly?
The next day, Zhao Lan heard that the young lady was looking for him, and he was so happy that he couldn't hide his smile. See, after only one night of separation, A Jin missed him already.
very nice!
When the two met, Zhao Lan held the young lady's hand and said, "I miss Ah Jin, too."
Su Ruojin: ...
She thought of him, but not in the way he thought!
Well……
Anyway, I've confessed.
Just think about it if you want to!
Su Ruojin told Zhao Lan all her worries and thoughts, "We don't live in the capital anyway, and brother doesn't need to come back every day, so you can just live in the Imperial College. What do you think?"
"Very good." Zhao Lan raised both hands in agreement. "I'll take care of this."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
"Hmph!" Zhao Lan was dissatisfied. "You are the sweetest when you are with your family. You should be sweet to me at least once."
Su Ruojin smiled sweetly, "Then I will cook delicious food for Brother Zhao!"
"What's delicious?"
"Now is the time when lotus roots are on the market. I can make you glutinous lotus root, fried lotus root boxes, cold lotus root, sweet and sour lotus root..." Let's have a lotus root feast.
Jiangmi lotus root, also known as glutinous rice lotus root, is a sweet and nourishing cold dish. The main ingredients are lotus root and glutinous rice, stewed with rock sugar, osmanthus, lard, etc.
Su Ruojin went to the kitchen personally to wash the lotus roots and cut off the nodes. She rinsed the soaked glutinous rice (jiangmi) and filtered out the water. She then poured the glutinous rice from one end of the lotus root into the eyes of the lotus root, added rock sugar and stewed it until it was soft and delicious.
Glutinous rice replenishes qi and blood, while lotus root can calm the mind, benefit the stomach, nourish the stomach and nourish yin. It is truly a nutritious, sweet and sticky delicacy.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhao Lan is a big guy. He especially likes sweets. He took the cool desserts out of the ice and cut them into pieces. Su Ruojin cut them in front and he picked them up from behind. He ate half a plate of them while standing by the stove.
Seeing that he couldn't stop eating, Su Ruojin clapped his hands, "Don't you want to eat anything else?"
"I'll eat it, of course I'll eat it. As long as it's made by Jin, I'll eat it."
Su Ruojin: ... Since when did this guy become so childish? Does love not only reduce the intelligence of women, but also men?
