Chapter 342 Su Jin, are you coming back?

Chapter 342 Su Jin, are you coming back?

I still dislike the parts I don't like, but I gradually appreciate the parts I like. Su Jin's craftsmanship is indeed good, and he is very considerate of an old man like me.

Thinking about what Su Jin and her three children said at the Banquet of Honor that year, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel that Su Jin was a miserable woman.

During the meal, Su Jin did not come to serve. There were plenty of palace maids and nannies in the palace, so there was no need for Su Jin to show up. She knew the limits very well, so she did not come to show off.

Nanny Yun served the Empress Dowager her meal. The old lady only felt a warm feeling in her stomach after eating. She looked satisfied and nodded meaningfully.

Nanny Yun couldn't help but say, "This Su Jin is really careful."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "She is a wise person, but..."

Even though she wanted to help, she couldn't. There had to be a reason. The new emperor didn't grow up under her watch. Although he was filial, it was inevitable that he would not be truly respectful.

So, let's wait and see if there is any opportunity.

The Empress Dowager disliked Su Jin because Su Jin first rejected Prince Rui and then rejected the Emperor. The reputation of the royal family was damaged because of Su Jin, but the Empress Dowager also felt that Su Jin was right to refuse, but she just couldn't swallow this breath. Now, after drinking the soup and eating the meal, she calmed down and thought that she had to help Su Jin in this matter. After all, she couldn't really watch the Emperor marry his own mother, right?

"I still need an opportunity..."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and let Nanny Yun help her to sleep.

As for Su Jin, it doesn’t matter. Now he is lying down, so naturally he wants to enjoy himself in the palace.

The Empress Dowager did not treat Su Jin too harshly with snacks and tea, so Su Jin ordered several flavors of snacks and asked if they could be made. After getting a positive answer, Su Jin moved a chair to the corridor, took some tea and snacks, and ate and drank while enjoying the night view.

There are many lights in the palace, which makes the harem bright as well. There are also delicious food, which makes it more comfortable than being at home.

Su Jin stayed there for a full eight days.

His daily routine during this period was to cook for the Empress Dowager and then look at the scenery out of boredom. The family business was taken care of by someone else, and Su Jin had not cared about it for many years.

As for Zhao Huaiguang, he would come occasionally, and the two of them would sit under the corridor and chat like friends. There was no kneeling or greeting, and no formal addressing. One called each other Su Liu and the other Xie Er, and they had a pretty pleasant chat.

Apart from the fact that you can't go out, the palace is actually not bad. There is food and drink, and there are enough servants. You can eat whatever you want.

But the palace walls were too high, and this was not the life Su Jin wanted.

Some people yearn for comfort and just want to have enough food and drink, and don't mind not being able to go out, but Su Jin's heart must be able to lie down and do what he wants.

Only when you are truly happy, can you live a life of lying flat. If you cannot lie flat because of constraints, that is not real lying flat.

Su Jin persisted.

She insisted, and Zhao Huaiguang also insisted, not to mention asking Su Jin to leave.

Neither of them opened their mouths, and neither of Su Jin's three children opened their mouths.

Every morning, Gu Zixuan still attended court and participated in the discussion of state affairs. Zhao Huaiguang once again deliberately asked Gu Zixuan if he had any requests. Gu Zixuan simply clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty has been very considerate to me. I dare not ask for anything more. Now I just want to serve the country with loyalty and share your worries."

Very good, asking means no requirement.

Are these three children really not worried about their mother?

Zhao Huaiguang didn't believe it.

He has the closest contacts with Su Jin's family and knows almost every detail of this family over the past six years. Now that he has detained their mother, can they really remain so calm?

Impossible.

After the court session, Zhao Huaiguang ordered his men to keep a close eye on the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion, and the Su Mansion.

He wanted to see what these three children were going to do.

On the ninth day, Zhao Huaiguang's spy came to report and told a story.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Hexi Su clan has arrived."

Zhao Huaiguang understood clearly that the three children must be waiting for the Hexi Su family. However, it was just a small clan. Although the teacher was their father, he had no favor towards him. So what kind of trouble could he cause?

Zhao Huaiguang thought about it and decided to withdraw his men.

The Hexi Su family couldn't cause any trouble.

For this purpose, he even made a special trip to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Su Jin was still sitting alone enjoying the scenery as before, as if he was out of tune with everything around him.

But the more this happened, the happier Zhao Huaiguang became. At least it proved that the Empress Dowager was not on her side.

Zhao Huaiguang knew who Su Jin was. She was an outstanding woman who would be liked wherever she went. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would also fall in love with Su Jin and oppose this matter. He was the emperor, and although he could do whatever he wanted, he could not go too far. He had to think of a foolproof way. Now he had kept her in the name of the Empress Dowager, but he could not keep her for too long.

Thinking of this he walked over to Su Jin and sat next to her skillfully.

The people in the bedroom pretended not to notice that the emperor was sitting in the corridor instead of on a chair.

In short, the emperor can do whatever he wants.

"Su Liu."

The elegant voice was slightly hoarse, and one could tell from Zhao Huaiguang's hard work and fatigue.

To be a good emperor is indeed a very hard thing, but to be a tyrant will make your life very comfortable and joyful. Zhao Huaiguang is obviously the former.

Su Jin's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up. As long as Zhao Huaiguang didn't want to be a tyrant, there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

"It's the ninth day. Dare I ask when I can go back."

Neither of them had ever mentioned this sentence, but now Su Jin asked directly.

Zhao Huaiguang seemed to have expected this and did not react. Instead, his eyes were full of amusement. "You are in the palace, so you are well-informed."

Su Jin was puzzled: "What news? Did Sui Yu give birth?"

The only person she is worried about now is Sui Yu, and the second person she is worried about is Gu Zilu's wife. Both of them are about to give birth, but Sui Yu is closer to her, so she is naturally more worried.

Zhao Huaiguang looked at her expression carefully, and only felt relieved when he was sure that she really had no idea.

"It seems you really don't know."

"What do you know? Just say it."

Look, what a straightforward personality, but he just likes it.

Zhao Huaiguang said calmly: "Someone from your mother's family, the Hexi Su family, has come."

**

At this moment, at the Su Mansion.

The person who came this time was still Su Bingzhi, the patriarch of the Hexi Su family. The old man looked no different from six years ago, except that his body was not as strong as it was six years ago.

Six years ago, he could ride his horse for three days to reach the capital, but now it still took him seven days, no matter how fast he hurried.

As soon as the old man entered the room, he asked, "Su Jin, are you back?"
