Chapter 153 Changes in the Banquet at Guo's Mansion

"So that's how it is?"

Since her brother and the others are coming, she also has a chance to escape.

Ah Zhi seemed to see what she was thinking, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I have already told them the news that you are in Guo's Mansion."

Su He thanked her gratefully. If it weren't for Ah Zhi, she really didn't know what to do.

"How is your wife...recently?" she asked.

Ah Zhi sighed and shook her head: "It's still the same as before, she can't stand the wind, and her body can't stand it."

That is an old problem that has been accumulated over the years and cannot be changed in a short time.

If she is lucky enough to leave Guo's Mansion in this life, there is probably a chance for improvement.

Su He was a little curious about her. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can I go see her?"

"My wife?"

"Yes."

"Of course! My wife has wanted to see you for a long time, but she felt guilty about what happened to Lord Lu, so she didn't dare to come."

Ah Zhi observed Su He's expression while speaking. Thanks to Guo Fei, there were rumors that Lu Huaihe seduced Mrs. Guo and wanted to elope with her, so Guo Fei dealt with him.

Su He smiled gently, "My husband is not that kind of person, and your wife is the same."

It was a remote and quiet courtyard. There were no extra potted plants in the courtyard. Compared with the courtyards of other concubines, it was very ordinary.

"Azhi, you're back?"

someone asked weakly in the room. Azhi ran in three or two steps, smiled, opened the curtain, pointed outside and said, "Mrs. Lu is here."

Lianxin was obviously startled, and then hurriedly got up to check. When she saw Su He climbing the stairs outside the corridor, a glimmer of light flashed before her eyes.

Although she was pregnant and had a round figure, her movements, frowns and smiles were no different from those of the concubines in the palace.

Lianxin welcomed her into the room, and fearing that she would be afraid of the cold, she ordered Azhi to light the stove.

It was already late spring in March, and it was not so cold anymore.

When Su He saw Lianxin for the first time and saw her weak body, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

If there were no palace turmoil, she would stay by Rong Guifei's side and be a powerful aunt.

When she was older, she would be sent out of the palace, take the gifts from Rong Guifei, buy a house, marry a satisfactory husband, and give birth to a pair of lovely children. This would be completely different from the current situation of being imprisoned.

Noticing the sympathy in Su He's eyes, Lian Xin smiled indifferently and asked softly, "You are not just visiting me, are you?"

Su He did not answer, and turned her eyes to Azhi. She closed the door and left with interest.

Su He then looked at her seriously, and said firmly, "I also want to do my part to help my husband."

Lian Xin's eyes trembled, "You... want to save me too?"

She was shocked that Su He did not question or ridicule her because of the rumors outside, but actually wanted to help her?

"My brothers are ministers who are praised even by the emperor. Qingyun, who is by my side to protect me, once stayed up for two nights to catch human traffickers, and was still able to go to work full of energy the next day. Only Pei Xia is a little weaker, but as a woman, after I became pregnant, she used silver needles to test for poison in all the food I ate. Whether in the capital or in Yanzhou, she can always observe the surroundings for me and take care of me to the best of her ability. Madam Guo, tell me, with them around, how could I be kidnapped by the brothers Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili?"

Lian Xin's lips moved slightly, and she understood what she meant.

"Why did you tell me all this?"

"Mrs. Guo has to be careful of the people around her."

Lian Xin was completely stunned: "...You mean, Azhi?"

Su He did not deny: "She found me first, and Lu Yanxiu followed. If it is a coincidence, no one will believe it."

Lian Xin remained silent and did not answer. She and Azhi had a deep master-servant relationship, but Azhi and Su He had no money relationship at all, and her life or death had nothing to do with her.

In this case, it is not impossible that she told the secret.

"You told me, do you want me to punish her?" That is impossible. Azhi and she depend on each other for life and are as close as sisters. It is impossible for them to break up for an outsider.

Su He shook his head and said lightly: "I want Madam's help at the banquet tomorrow."

Lian Xin raised her eyes, as if she had guessed something.

It was rare for the Guo family to hold a banquet.

All the important figures in Yanzhou City were invited to the mansion, and Su Ling, as an official from the capital, was naturally no exception.

Qingyun and Pei Xia followed him. After entering the Guo Mansion, they looked calm and did not look around.

Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili, who were hiding in the dark, exchanged glances.

Guo Fei stood in the front hall to welcome the guests. Looking at the expensive gifts they brought, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

The situation in the capital was very good, and the Guo family was expected to take over. Naturally, these people were also very attentive to Guo Fei.

The banquet was full of singing and dancing, and it was very lively.

Su Ling had a stern expression, he just watched coldly and did not participate in it.

While drinking, his eyes collided with the person behind him, and the familiar face came back again.

"You and I are gathered here today, and you must have heard the news in the capital. I, Guo Fei, will soon be promoted! When I return to the capital tomorrow to become a high official, I will never forget you, my good brothers in Yanzhou!"

The emperor is about to pass away. According to the etiquette, the new emperor should be succeeded by the prince.

But the prince is not the queen's son. Queen Guo raised her for more than ten years, but at the end of her life, she was unwilling to acknowledge his identity.

General Guo Jie of Zhenbei is stationed outside the city with his elite troops. As long as the emperor dies, I am afraid that the prince will be killed by him before he can get the edict of accession!

If Guo Jie ascended the throne, Guo Fei, as an important person who looked after Lian Xin, would not be buried in vain despite his hard work.

Thinking of this, Guo Fei seemed to have seen the prosperous and luxurious life waving at him.

"Sir, today is a good day for the Guo family. I have painted a picture and want to show it to everyone."

Lian Xin dressed up a little today, with a rosy cheek and looking very healthy.

In the past, Guo Fei would have kicked her over and told her contemptuously that she was unworthy.

But now that all the guests were present, Guo Fei could not openly punch and kick his wife for the sake of his own face, so he asked her to present it.

Lian Xin expected him to do so.

She gave Azhi a look and then handed the painting in the box to everyone.

Guo Fei looked at the exquisite box and the quality was good. "What is the painting? So mysterious?"

Lian Xin stood to one side, looking at everyone at the table, and said in a low voice: "Master, just open it and check it out."

After Su He came to see her yesterday, Lian Xin couldn't sleep all night, so she got up immediately to grind and write.

What was in the box was not some drawing paper at all, but Guo Fei's evil records in Yanzhou City for so many years!
