Chapter 76 Returning Safely

Before arriving at Qiu's house, Su Siman lifted the car curtain and poked out his head. Qiu Zhongshen was eager to send one person out of the house, and the two talked happily. Looking intently, Su Siman immediately recognized that the other person was Feng Wan Wan's father. I have heard that the two have been very close and frequent recently, and it is really not empty.

It was not someone else who accompanied Su Siman, but the general Xia Shouyi. Xia Shouyi rode a high-headed horse next to the carriage. He was dressed in a uniform and had never taken off his armor. His eyebrows were cut like a knife and flew obliquely into his temples. Even his eyes were as bright as electricity. His beard was very eye-catching, and his majestic and awe-relented. Along the way, pedestrians avoided it one after another.

Su Siman chose to accompany him, of course, not to show his prestige, but to think about something else. On the one hand, I was afraid that I would make a trip out of the palace and be kidnapped or something; on the other hand, there has always been a gap between Qiu Zhongshen and Xia Shouyi. When it comes to this beam, it is nothing more than the word fame and fortune. Both of them are superb in martial arts. One ranks first in terms of military value and the other ranks second. They are rare brave generals of Liang and have prestige in the army. Qiu Zhongshen has provoked several times and wanted to fight with Xia Shouyi, but failed to do so every time. Qiu Zhongshen always felt that Xia Shouyi was too arrogant and disdained to engage with him and complained to him. But this is not the case. Xia Shouyi did not engage with him, but did not look down on him, but was indifferent to fame and fortune by nature and did not care about those false reputations.

If Xia Shouyi comes together this time, he will be the back hand. If the lobbying is not effective, then there will be a radical method.

Originally, Su Siman was not so bold when she came, but when she saw Qiu Zhongshen send someone out, her fighting spirit was greatly stimulated and firmed an idea - she must pull Qiu Zhongshen over!

And the facts also prove that it is really a wise choice to invite Xia Shouyi to come.

At first, no matter how Su Siman knew the great righteousness, Qiu Zhongshen did not enter, and always did not salt to the crown princess. He abided by the etiquette, which forced Su Siman to use a killer mace, sang with Xia Shouyi, and led him to the hook. In the end, Xia Qiu and Qiu competed in martial arts. Qiu Zhongshen was defeated by Xia Shouyi. He was defeated in less than ten rounds and was willing to worship him. However, to Su Siman's surprise, although Qiu Zhongshen was greedy for money and profits, he was very unscrupulous in some aspects. He still refused to join the prince's camp, but promised to remain neutral between the prince and the Fifth Highness and not disturb the muddy water.

Although Su Siman failed to get what he wanted, it would be a good thing as long as Qiu Zhongshen did not stir up.

In fact, looking back, Qiu Zhongshen is indeed very shrewd. Although it is not a wise move to remain neutral at this time, it is also very safe, because once he stands in the wrong team, it is too late to repent. Of course, there are many benefits to standing in the right team. For example, the new emperor will also take care of his meritorious service in the future. But today's situation is chaotic. Once he chooses the wrong one, it's too late to repent. Qiu Zhongshen chooses to do nothing. He seems to be stupid, but in fact, he is wise and wise to protect himself.

Xia Shouyi escorted him outside Xuanwu Gate and watched the crown princess's carriage enter the palace before leaving.

At this time, it was already dark. When Su Siman returned to Anqin Garden Palace, the lights were already bright. From afar, he saw Bixi squatting at the door. At first sight, she jumped up happily like a monkey.

"Princess, you are back!" Bixi came up and took Su Siman's hand affectionately. He looked happy and just raised his tone. He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Is everything going well?"

Su Siman didn't show much on his face. He only smiled and casually made an OK gesture to the tourmaline: "It's okay. Fortunately, with General Xia here, it's done."

Are you hungry? Have you had dinner yet?" Bixi asked with a smile.

Su Siman looked at her strangely and felt that this girl was very strange today. Recently, everything has been bothered, and the people around her have also been infected and embarrassed. I don't know what happened during the period of leaving the palace? After thinking about it, Su Siman said bluntly, "What's wrong with you today? If there's anything good, talk about it and go to the recent bad luck."

The tourmaline pulled her away happily: "It's nothing. Go in quickly."

Before I arrived at the front hall, I met several maids of honor. I don't know what they were talking about, but as soon as I saw Su Siman, I was so scared that I immediately closed my mouth and knelt down in fear to salute. Su Siman didn't care and only ordered Bixi to prepare dinner quickly. She hadn't eaten yet and was starving.

After dinner, Bixi somehow suddenly asked her to go to Shunchang Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Su Siman was confused, but still nodded and agreed. Recently, the Empress Dowager has devoted herself to worshiping Buddha without asking about political affairs, and hardly met outsiders, so although she was in the palace, Su Siman had not seen her for a long time.

According to Bixi's speculation, the empress dowager may have been under house arrest by the queen, because a large number of eunuchs in Shunchang Palace have been replaced, and now there are many queens eyes and ears hidden there. It can be seen that even if the Empress Dowager didn't ask anything, Empress Zhang was still afraid of her. After all, the empress dowager is the most prestigious person in the harem, and the influence of the court cannot be underestimated. Those ministers who are dissatisfied with the queen hope that the empress dowager will come forward to act in the name of "Qingjun side" and force the emperor to order the depose the queen, and once the queen is abolished, the Zhang family will also be implicated. In order to prevent this from happening, the queen took the lead and controlled the empress dowager.

The empress dowager was also very cautious at this time, and the foreign minister was basically missing, but Su Siman guessed that the empress dowager would not be willing to be at a low hand all the time. It was just an illusion to devote herself to the Buddha, and she was also waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

When Su Siman went, he was not sure whether he could see the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch went in and soon brought the empress dowager's edict to meet her inside.

The Empress Dowager is in the side hall, because the side hall has set up a shrine to offer Buddha statues, which is usually her old man's scope of activities.

There are two little father-in-law standing outside the hall. Both of them are not sanity. The inside of the hall is very quiet. The whole Shunchang Palace is very quiet, so quiet that it can almost give people the illusion that this is no man's land.

The tourmaline consciously stopped outside the side hall.

Su Siman hesitated a little at the door and finally gently opened the door. What surprised her was that the candles in the hall were curling, but there was no one there. The Empress Dowager was not here. She was suspicious, and the faint low voice of conversation came from the ear chamber of the left wing, and she boldly walked over there.

The door was closed. Su Siman saw the empress dowager's face from the crack of the door. This time, she was relieved and did not dare to knock on the door. She only said respectfully and gently outside the door that her grandson came to say hi to her grandmother.

"Come in." The Empress Dowager's low voice came from the door.

After entering, he accidentally found that there was a tall yellow door inside. Unexpectedly, he sat in the position of the empress dowager. Because he was facing his back, Su Siman had not seen it before, and the corners of his eyes did not see him until he saluted the empress dowager.

But at that glance, her half-dead salute froze and turned her head and stared at the "little yellow door".

"Little Yellow Gate" smiled at her very lightly, and her eyes rippled like the lake in spring: "Xing'er." The voice was extremely low and soft, like a soft sword that penetrated into human bones, so crisp that human bones were about to break, with some faint pain.

Su Siman looked at him and couldn't react for a long time. He couldn't tell what the expression was on his face. He only opened his mouth slightly and maintained the mouth shape of the word "please" to the emperor's grandmother. At the end, the word "An" was choked in his throat.

The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly: "Princess, don't be silly. Why don't you go and have a look?" He pouted to Liang Shaojun and pointed to him, "If you don't believe it, you can pinch him and check it."

When Liang Shaojun heard this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He looked at her brightly and slowly stood up.

Su Siman was still in his dream. How many times did he appear in her dream frequently? The situation of the two looked at each other was as realistic, but when he woke up, he was just a dream with empty hands.

"Shaojun, is it really you? I'm not dreaming..." She muttered and pinched her face, rubbed her eyes to make sure that he was still in front of her, and almost staggered and ran to him quickly.

Liang Shaojun stood there straight, and his hand hanging on his side opened slightly.

It was his warm embrace that greeted her. His two strong arms tightened her, almost holding her breathlessly, but she would rather be held tightly by him like this. The feeling of happiness and joy overwhelmed everything and completely occupied her.

She cried with joy, her heart collided like a deer, her heartbeat was confused, and she only shouted his name in a low voice: "Shaojun, Shaojun..."

Finally, she saw him come back, not a dream. She looked up at him, touched his face, touched his clothes, and muttered, "You've lost weight..." "It's good to come back..." "That's good..." She was completely incoherent, and her eyes flashed with ecstasy.

Liang Shaojun looked down at her face and frowned sadly. His eyes were as gentle as water and full of pity. He raised his hand and touched her cheek with the back of his hand and whispered, "Why are you such a heavy hand?"

Su Siman looked up to meet his eyes, quickly lowered his head, and was infinitely shy: "I thought I was dreaming again."

"I'm back." He stroked her red and hot cheeks and lowered his judo. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

A simple sentence touched her for some reason, and the tears that had been stopped began to burst again. Liang Shaojun did not hesitate to hold her in his arms again, stroked her back and comforted her, allowing her to runny nose against his chest.

The Empress Dowager looked at the children with a smile and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Su Siman came back and remembered that the Empress Dowager was in front of him. He broke out of his arms in a panic and wiped his face with a handkerchief. He was so ashamed that he was ashamed. This time, he was ashamed in front of his elders!

She was completely fascinated this night. All the things about the power struggle were thrown out of the sky. What is more important than her husband's safe return? Since Liang Shaojun has returned, she can retreat behind the scenes at ease. She believes that if he escapes from death, he must be blessed by God and treated him well.

Everything is enough for him.
