Chapter 89 Temptation
This was not the first time that Su Changle asked Su Heng this question. Su Heng stopped, lowered his head and looked sideways at his sister, whom he had grown up with since childhood.
Su Changle seemed to be asking a question, but it didn't look like it.
In the past, when Su Changle was a child, Su Changle would always ask questions around Su Heng. The little girl at that time was innocent and cute, and even her questions were filled with innocence.
But now...
Su Heng looked at the sister in front of him, as if he didn't recognize her.
When did the conversation between them start to turn into this?
Su Heng said lightly: "Anping, as a brother, I only hope that you..."
"Just be an ordinary little girl." Su Changle took over the words, "Anping understands."
Su Heng wanted to say something else, but Su Changle looked at the carriageway waiting outside: "If brother doesn't go, it will be too late to go up!"
What Su Heng originally wanted to say was interrupted by Su Changle, and the words that came to his lips were swallowed.
He had no choice but to straighten his sleeves, step out of the gate and get into the carriage.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Shuo Feng said to him: "Sir, His Majesty has just summoned you to come to the palace to meet the saint."
Su Heng paused and said to the coachman: "Go to the palace."
Su Changle watched Su Heng's carriage leave, her face that had been smiling suddenly changed. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Shen still standing there.
She was a little stunned: she originally thought Jiang Shen should have gone back long ago, but she didn't expect that he would still be standing here.
She walked over and stood in front of Jiang Shen and asked, "What did brother tell you just now?"
Jiang Shen shook his head: "It's nothing, I just asked where I was on the day when the accident happened to Mr. Bai Ran."
"Didn't you drink too much and have been sleeping in the room? It's true, brother, why did you come here to ask you about this?" Su Changle was very unhappy. She took Jiang Shen's hand and walked to the dining room, "Forget it, forget it.
My brother must have been obsessed with investigating the case, and seeing that everyone is suspicious, we will all starve to death if we go to dinner."
Su Changle pulled Jiang Shen towards the dining room, but the boy at the door suddenly ran in in a hurry and said something to Ah Zhu.
Azhu nodded, walked to Su Changle's side and blocked their way, saying: "Princess, the Queen invites the Princess and the Princess to enter the palace."
"Queen?" Su Changle blinked and looked at Jiang Shen apologetically: "It seems that I have to go to the palace to eat breakfast."

In the Changji Hall, His Majesty looked at the people below and sat on top with a sullen expression.
They have been quarreling since morning until now, and they have been like this before going to court today. If they go to court in the morning, there is no telling what this scene will be like.
Fu Qingsong was very angry. He lost about two people overnight. The loss was not small for him. Now that the case has been investigated for several days, there is still no progress. He vowed to catch the murderer.
Fu Qingsong took a step forward and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, it is rare for a courtier to be killed for no reason. The murderer behind the scenes is so unscrupulous. He must be challenging the royal majesty. Your Majesty must bring the person to justice and punish him severely!"
His Majesty had a sullen face and said nothing.
"Master Fu, there is something wrong with what you said." Wei Yue said quietly, "Although Lord Bai Ran and Xiao Jian are court officials, they do not hold high official positions, and their behavior in the past is also quite questionable.
, maybe they have offended someone in private, or maybe their enemies are seeking revenge. Why did Lord Fu say that, and it turned into a challenge to the royal majesty? Lord Fu, what do you think?"
Fu Yan had been standing behind Fu Qingsong. He drank a little too much after the banquet that day, so he went back to sleep. When he woke up again, he received the news that two adults, Bai Ran and Xiao Juan, had been killed.
He was a little stunned at the time, and it wasn't until the boy next to him told him what happened yesterday that he finally regained his composure.
Could it be possible that the two of them suffered such a disaster because they said something to Jiang Shen?
But……
wrong.
Everyone present yesterday knew that what those two people said was to vent their anger on themselves. These two adults were also from the Wei Mansion, and they all knew this.
Did someone take advantage of the situation and kill the two of them on the surface, but secretly they came for the Fu family?
Fu Yan was thinking here when his name was suddenly called by Wei Taichang.
He then said: "Your Majesty is very wise. Regardless of whether they are public or private, these two adults have two lives. They are serving your Majesty. Now that they are in trouble, I ask your Majesty to make the decision."
"I didn't say that I don't care about this matter, it's just..." His Majesty's voice was calm and he spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, Su Heng, the minister of Dali Temple, has arrived——"
His Majesty heard the announcement outside and said: "Let him come in."
The door of Changji Hall opened, and Su Heng walked in from the outside. As soon as he entered, he saw Wei Yue and Fu Qingsong confronting each other. He walked into the hall without looking away and saluted His Majesty: "I see your Majesty."
"You came just in time. The two adults are arguing about Bai Ran's case. I have handed over the case to Dali Temple for investigation a few days ago. If there is any progress now, please tell me so that I can comfort Mr. Fu."
"Yes." Su Heng stood up from the palace.
He first looked at Fu Qingsong, then at Wei Yue, and finally fixed his eyes on Fu Qingsong and said to him: "Master Fu, don't be anxious. Your Majesty has handed over this matter to Dali Temple. I will decide
The truth will be found out.”
"I'm just afraid that the prince is partial, and it won't matter if we find out the truth!" Fu Qingsong snorted coldly.
Everyone present knew that Fu Yan's proposal to marry Su Changle was unsuccessful, and he quickly chose a daughter-in-law, Xie Jiaqi, to get engaged.
As soon as Fu Qingsong said these words, he pointed the finger at the palace.
"What do you mean by Master Fu's words?" Su Heng frowned, "I always enforce the law impartially and have interrogated Princess Anping in detail, but I have no evidence in my hand. Could it be that Master Fu said this?
Do you have any evidence in hand?"
Su Heng suddenly snorted coldly: "If there is evidence, I will not protect my shortcomings, but if there is no evidence, Mr. Fu must be responsible for what he said. At that time, there is no telling whether the gate of Dali Temple will be used for it one day."
Master Fu opened it!"
"You!" Fu Qingsong blew his beard and glared.
He was really so angry! Originally, he wanted to talk to His Majesty about this matter today, but he didn't expect that the unrelated Wei Yue was here, and now there is another heir apparent who is angry with him. What a shame!
"I believe that the prince will not bend the law for personal gain." Wei Yue said.
Fang Xushi, who had been following Wei Yue, finally spoke. He also said: "I also believe in the prince."
"You guys!" Fu Qingsong's expression darkened and he wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Fu Yan behind him.
Fu Yan said: "Then it will trouble the prince."
Su Heng looked at him: "Thank you so much, Master Xiao Fu."
"Okay!" His Majesty, who had been sitting upright, suddenly said, "Since I have handed over this matter to Dali Temple, then I believe in the ability of Dali Temple. Let this matter be like this. I am tired. You guys go first.
Go ahead."
"yes."
Several people came out of Changji Hall, Su Heng walked in front and headed outside the palace. Fu Qingsong and Fu Yan also left, leaving only Fang Xushi and Wei Yue walking slowly behind.
"Sir, are Bai Ran and Xiao Jian related to you?"
"I will not touch Fu Qingsong's people."
Fang Xushi was a little confused: "Then why did you come to Changji Hall today?"
"They have nothing to do with me, but there is one person who I am still a little interested in." Wei Yue stopped and said to Fang Xushi: "Take some time to visit Jiang Shen and have a chat with him.
sentence."
Fang Xushi: "Huh?"
But Wei Yue didn't say why, and Fang Xushi didn't dare to ask again. He just remembered Wei Yue's instructions.

Su Changle didn't know that Su Heng had also entered the palace. When she and Jiang Shen arrived at Fengzao Hall, she didn't even know that Su Heng was having a fierce argument with Fu Qingsong in Changji Hall.
The Queen was already sitting in the main hall, and the Crown Princess held her little Highness in her arms and sat next to the Queen.
As soon as Su Changle and Jiang Shen entered, the Queen said: "You are here, why don't you have a meal at such an early hour? Hurry up and have something to eat."
Su Changle pulled Jiang Shen to sit down. Before he had eaten a few mouthfuls, the queen said to Jiang Shen: "Jiang Ma, you go to the back to find the prince. I want to talk to the princess."
Hearing what the queen said, Jiang Shen obediently stood up, saluted, and followed the palace attendants who came to lead the way back.
When Jiang Shen's back disappeared, Su Changle also put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong with the Queen? What do you want to say?"
"I would like to ask you, when will you and Jun Ma plan to have a child?" The Queen asked with a smile. She looked at the little Highness in the arms of the Crown Princess next to her, "I heard that your brother is also getting married.
What's wrong? You got married earlier than your brother, so why do you have to give in to your brother when it comes to having children? "
"This... this..." Su Changle was a little embarrassed.
But actually, it’s not that I’m embarrassed.
It's because she and Jiang Shen have made no substantial progress at all.
Although the two sleep together every day, they only sleep literally!
"This...it's not urgent yet." Su Changle said perfunctorily.
The princess looked a little embarrassed when she saw Su Changle, so she came to the rescue and said, "The princess is still young, so this matter is not urgent."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Su Changle always felt like they had seen each other before.
This scene...has it happened once before?

Jiang Shen was led to the back by the palace servants. As soon as he turned around, he saw the prince sitting in the pavilion.
The palace man stopped outside the pavilion, and Jiang Shen went in alone. The prince was not surprised at all, but just held a cup of tea and said to him: "You are here?"
Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows and saluted the prince: "I have met the prince."
"We are all one family, get up." The prince asked Jiang Shen to stand up and sit across from him.
In front of Jiang Shen was a cup of tea that had been served. He reached out and touched it: the temperature was just right.
Jiang Shen did not go to drink, but just sat there and listened to the prince's words.
"Jiang Shen, what do you think of the second prince?" The prince suddenly asked, "Your identity is destined to be outside the court. In your eyes, what do you think of the second prince?"
Jiang Shen paused his hand on the edge of the tea cup and raised his eyes to look at the prince.
Today it is not the Queen who wants to see them, but the Prince who wants to see him.
"I don't dare to make any unreasonable comments. Why did the prince say this?"
The prince's eyes did not look at Jiang Shen. He just looked up at the lake in front of him that had begun to slowly flow with water.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the second prince has grown up now. As a brother, I don't know when he grew up, let alone what kind of person he will grow into." The prince sighed softly, and he turned his head to talk to Jiang
Shen looked at each other, picked up the teacup, and toasted to him, "Your demeanor in Yuedan Ping that day is still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect that you, the top talent, would be kidnapped by Anping. From then on, you were far away from the court and could only be trapped in the house. You
Are you unwilling?"
When Jiang Shen heard this, he smiled slightly, picked up his cup of tea, and clinked it with the prince: "The prince is joking. Those are all praises from outsiders. In front of the prince, I don't dare to make mistakes.
Chapter completed!
