Chapter 7 Mr. Xiao is missing (1)

One night, in a blink of an eye.

Su Rao sat like this all night, his thoughts lost in the past.

It's hard to calm down.

Until a rather urgent knock on the door rang in my ears.

Only then did she regain her consciousness.

After sitting like this all night, my whole body felt numb, my temples also bulged suddenly, and my face became more and more sallow and colorless. It was the sequelae of a hangover and I couldn't sleep. My head felt swollen and felt like there was a ball of cotton stuffed inside.

Extremely confused.

The eyes also bring out a thick cyan color.

Su Rao rubbed her temples and shook her head to clear herself up a little. She stood up and straightened her appearance before opening the door of the pavilion. Before she could ask anything, she saw someone coming next to Qin Niang with a very anxious look on her face.

Seeing her coming out, the visitor's brows suddenly relaxed, and his brows relaxed a bit.

It seems that I have found a backbone.

"What happened?"

Su Rao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Xiao Zhi, the head of the Ling Pavilion, was someone she poached from Huanniang.

Young Master Xiao suddenly appeared three years ago. If he didn't have any arrogance, how could he fool the entire Su family.

In ancient times, the only thing she could do was the makeup skills of her previous life. If she wanted to gain a foothold in this huge Langjing in a short period of time, she must have a suitable collaborator.

So she set her sights on Xiaoyaoju, which had just opened two years ago.

It's a mutually beneficial thing, and she is absolutely confident in her makeup skills.

Huan Niang was also generous and settled the matter in just a few days.

Today, Xiaoyaoju is full of guests day and night, and she has contributed a lot.

Xiaoyaoju and her tomb cooperate with each other but do not interfere with each other.

So far, she has never seen the mysterious master behind Xiaoyaoju.

As for Xiao Zhi, she was the number one Xiaoyao, but she fell in love with Yisu's brother Yiying, so she redeemed her life and let her take charge of the funeral pavilion.

Xiao Zhi would never step into the general's palace unless something important happened.

Xiao Zhi opened her mouth. It turned out to be a big deal. Yi Ying had disappeared.

The person who exchanged identities with her last night was Yi Ying. She came back to the house and Yi Ying went to the pavilion without anyone noticing. How could she disappear?

"Xiao Zhi, have you ever looked for..."

Just as she spoke again, the bell hanging in a dark corner of the roof of the pavilion rang. This was her and Qin Niang's secret signal that someone was coming.

Su Rao immediately glanced at Xiao Zhi. After three years of tacit understanding, Xiao Zhi immediately understood. Suddenly, the expression on his face changed drastically.

"Miss Su, don't think that the slave family doesn't know. Hand over our young master as soon as possible. Our young master is missing. If it weren't for you, who else would..."

"Rao'er..."

This call was followed by a young man.

Dear brother Su Rao.

Su Yuchen.

Wearing a dark blue robe, he walked with a steady pace and a straight body. Because he practiced martial arts and joined the army, his skin was the color of wheat, but he was also majestic and majestic. He was a handsome major general.

The Su family was also one of her enemies. They were the accomplices who killed her parents and destroyed her country. She should have hated her to the core, but she couldn't.

You can't hate either.

In an era when human life was regarded as nothing, and when women's status was so low, the Su family was a rare noble family.

What's more, they only have different loyalties and obey different kings.

The Su family does not have those messy concubines. According to the Su family's family rules, a son can only marry one wife. If the wife is alive, she will not take a concubine. If the wife dies, the stepmother should treat the children of the deceased wife as the same as her own children.

If you can't do it, you'd rather not marry. If you do, divorce your wife immediately.

However, the Su family has always had strong yang and weak yin. General Su only had two daughters, both of whom were married to outsiders. In Su Rao's generation, she was the only girl who had a silver spoon in her mouth since she was born.

It's a pity that she didn't have this blessing. Once she climbed up the wall, she hit her temple directly and died on the spot, so she picked up this identity.

The Su family was strict in running the army. Although they held the military power of the Tiger Talisman, they were still loyal to the Yun family. Both the deceased King Yun and the current new emperor attached great importance to them.

Specially granted the title of Grand General's Palace, the only palace with a different surname in Yunlang Kingdom.

The noble status of General Su is as high as that of Prince Yun of Prince Yun's palace. These two elders are exempted from kowtow when they enter the palace.

When she first became Su Rao, Qin Niang once asked her how much she hated the Su family. She replied that if the Su family was a rebellious family, she would hate it and wish she could kill the whole family to appease her parents' souls in heaven.

But the Su family is noble and upright. In this troubled world, one Su family can save many people from being ruined like hers, so she doesn't hate it. No matter how unbearable it is, she can't hate it.

What's more, the Su family was her savior. If Su Rao's father's sword hadn't blocked her that day, she would have been killed by that sharp arrow. Even if she hadn't died, she would have been discovered by the rebels.

Su Yuchen walked up to the second-floor attic and saw that Su Rao's face was sallow and lifeless, his eyes fell on Xiao Zhi, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised.

Obviously unhappy.

"Manager Xiao came to my Su Mansion early this morning, and the news was received very quickly."

As soon as he said this, Su Rao, Xiao Zhi, and Qin Niang all looked at each other in shock.

Then he moved.

What does he mean by this, is ‘Mr. Xiao’ really in the Su mansion?

"Big...brother..."

Su Rao turned his head, his sallow face twisted into a frown, and his eyes asked.

What's the meaning?

Did you really catch ‘Mr. Xiao’?

Facing Su Rao, Su Yuchen's expression softened and he smiled.

"Rao'er, grandpa asked you to go to Songhe Hall. You will know when you go."

This was a bit of a show-off, and Su Rao suddenly became suspicious, wondering why she had a particularly bad sixth sense.

"Let's go!"

Without waiting for Su Rao to explore the feeling in her heart, Su Yuchen directly took her hand and went down to the attic.

Xiao Zhi immediately followed.

She came here to ask for 'Mr. Xiao'.

Although the Su Mansion is the palace of a general, it does not have the splendor and wealth of a royal palace. Instead, it embodies a sense of elegance and elegance.

The fish in the Juanjuan River Pond are happy, the pavilions and water pavilions are refreshing and elegant, and the bluestone paths are lined with green trees. Everywhere you walk is a scene of an ordinary mansion, but it also carries the sense of nobility of the Su family.

Su Rao was pulled away by Su Yuchen, only Yi Su and Xiao Zhi followed.

Uncle Hao and Qin Niang did not follow.

Along the way, Su Yuchen pretended not to tell Su Rao what was going on, but Su Dan, the talkative boy next to Su Yuchen, was all shaken up. It turned out to be a particularly bad sixth sense.

'Master Xiao' had just returned to the Lian Pavilion last night when he was arrested by people sent by General Xiao. The reason was that Su Rao was already sixteen this year.

For a girl from other families, her family will propose marriage to her after she turns fifteen. In some cases, she will be married as early as thirteen or fourteen years old.

But because of her disfigurement, she fell in love with Mr. Xiao again, and this was delayed for another year. Yesterday Emperor Yu ascended the throne, and said that several of his princes were old enough to marry, and they obviously wanted to marry the prince.

Old General Su sent people to capture 'Mr. Xiao' because he wanted to finalize her marriage before Emperor Yu issued the decree, so that she would not know which prince she was being assigned to.

Dandy comes here.

These were Su Dan's words, but Su Rao smelled something else in them.

The Su family has a lot of troops and has the trust of King Yun and Emperor Yu. However, once the Su family gets involved with any prince, Emperor Yu will definitely no longer trust the Su family wholeheartedly.

Since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Kings are suspicious. What's more, Emperor Yu has just ascended the throne and is in his prime. How could the emperor's desire for control allow his prince to secretly win over the courtiers behind his back when he is in his prime?

Forming cliques to fight against oneself, especially officials like the Su family who are members of the Qing Dynasty.

Holding heavy troops.

In ancient times, men got married very young, and they already had children and grandchildren at a young age. Emperor Yu had eight princes and six princesses under his knees, not counting those who died young due to various reasons.

Even these princes who were aborted at birth will surely see a bloody storm in the Yunlang Dynasty a few decades from now.

The fight for the throne is bloody and bloody.

What's more, in the next few decades, how many princes will be born in this royal family, and they will step into a tragedy of brotherhood and father-son killing each other.

In the royal family, even if you don't fight or grab, someone will force you and push you to fight for it.

If you leave, there will be piles of bones and corpses in front of you, but if you don't leave, then there will be an abyss behind you and a bloody mouth, and they will swallow you up until even the dregs are left.

It is said that women in ancient times were humble and had no freedom or autonomy at all. They could only live dependent on men throughout their lives, but in fact, men in ancient times were not the same.

Those without power and status can only be enslaved, while those with power and status live in fear every day. Even a high-ranking emperor has countless masters around him to defend himself day and night. He is afraid that an assassin will break in one day.
