Junze looked at him with pity in his eyes, and said the same thing as Gu Yuru: "Magistrate Su, my mother was really blind back then, so she paid no attention to you."
Su Zhongfu was completely confused: "What?"
Junze said calmly: "Don't worry, although I don't know why Prince Gu sent someone there, she has nothing to do with Zhu Jianchun's death."
He had already learned from the interviews between Su Zhongfu and Gu Yu that Gu Yu didn't know Zhu Jianchun's secret either.
It's just that Gu Yu's interrogation routine really got Su Zhongfu under control.
Su Zhongfu thought about it and finally realized that he had just been tricked by Gu Yu and ridiculed, and then he was tricked by King Xiaoyao and ridiculed again.
Why are young people today so difficult to resist?
It’s so annoying!
"Ze'er, are you asleep?"
The eldest princess's voice sounded outside.
After seeing her son touching Prince Gu twice, she became extremely flustered and found someone to secretly observe her son's movements.
He was very taciturn and dull. Junze said that he wanted him to bring Magistrate Su, so he ignored Magistrate Su's wishes and just brought Magistrate Su. When he dismounted, he made some noise at the door.
The eldest princess had already gone to bed tonight when she heard the maid report that her son had kidnapped a man from outside.
This is not bad.
She quickly put on her clothes and came over.
Su Zhongfu opened the door, and the two old acquaintances stared at each other.
The eldest princess almost screamed: "Magistrate Su, why are you here?"
Su Zhongfu was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that it was your son who kidnapped me in the middle of the night, tricked me out, and laughed at me.
Junze didn't understand why his mother was so excited. He stood up and said seriously: "I am discussing something with Magistrate Su. Mother, it is related to the death of Zhu Jianchun."
The eldest princess did not focus on Zhu Jianchun's death. She continued to ask: "What about this afternoon? Are you and Prince Gu also discussing matters?"
"Yes, we are also talking about Zhu Jianchun." Junze said matter-of-factly.
"Then why didn't you tell me then?" the eldest princess asked.
Junze didn't understand why his mother's focus was shifted, but he still said: "You left when I was about to say something."
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief and then focused on Zhu Jianchun.
"How could Zhu Jianchun die?" The eldest princess stepped across the threshold and sat down with Su Zhongfu and Junze.
"To put it more strictly, he is not dead yet, but he is not far away from death," Junze said.
"What! Zhu Jianchun is not dead?" There were too many stimulations and reversals today, and Su Zhongfu was a little unable to accept them.
Junze told the eldest princess what had happened, only the last bit was different.
"When my people found Zhu Jianchun, his whole body was ulcerated by gunpowder explosions, his body was severely swollen, and he was only breathing his last breath.
He can't say anything and can't move his body. Now he's on the passenger ship to Kyoto. He's been treated by doctors all the way. I hope he'll still be alive when he gets to Kyoto."
The token matter hasn't been clarified yet, so he naturally won't tell the truth to Gu Yu.
"I didn't expect that I still couldn't return this favor to you." The eldest princess said to Su Zhongfu with disappointment.
"The eldest princess and the prince have helped me a lot, and I can't thank you enough." Su Zhongfu said.
Even though he knew that his mother had no intentions towards Su Zhongfu, Junze couldn't help but feel sad for his father who died early.
Junze pointed his finger at the table and reminded: "You two, what is important now is how to suppress the fire that was caused in Kyoto. The students are all waiting to sign a letter and then see Zhu Jianchun come to the symposium to apologize."
Su Zhongfu remembered Gu Yu's words and said: "The symposium is the most important thing at the moment. Zhu Jianchun's secret will have to wait until after the symposium to see how the Holy Spirit handles it."
"What Magistrate Su said is right, but now there is a lot of discussion about Zhu Jianchun among the students. How should we suppress it?" the eldest princess said with a frown.
Junze pondered for a while and then pointed out to the eldest princess: "If you want to suppress one thing, you need to use another thing."
The eldest princess said: "Oh? What do you think?"
Junze grinned: "Mom, please move forward this year's peony feast so that unmarried students from Jiangnan can participate and see the excitement of Kyoto."
The eldest princess said seriously: "Nonsense! The Peony Banquet is my honor. Even in a noble house, not everyone is worthy of getting the invitation. Besides, those noble girls are always delicate. What if they are bumped into by some student?
?”
The eldest princess’s peony feast is indeed a grand event in Kyoto, and it happens around this time every year.
All noble sons and daughters are proud to participate in the Peony Banquet, which means that their family background can be recognized by the eldest princess.
Su Zhongfu's eyes darkened, and he thought about how he was ridiculed at the Peony Banquet and said that he was from a poor family and could not hide his poverty even if he put on official uniform, so how could he be worthy of the attention of the eldest princess?
"The news of Zhu Jianchun's death will reach Kyoto in about two days, and the symposium will be held in five days. Apart from the peony banquet, I can't think of any other way to divert the attention of those students." Junze spread his hands and said.
The eldest princess was also furious and glared at him: "Even if I agree, it's impossible for those noble ladies to agree."
"Then we'll keep it a secret for now. When we get to the Peony Banquet, we won't be able to leave again," Jun Ze said.
Su Zhongfu clenched his fist and coughed: "Isn't this deception?"
Junze was not very polite to Su Zhongfu, who was still picking on people when he had no idea, and said: "Then there is another way. You two can have a feud and make "Green Plum Song" which was very popular back then become popular again."
Su Zhongfu saw Junze's poisonous tongue for the first time. When he choked on his own saliva, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no."
After hearing this extremely bad idea, the eldest princess resolutely chose the former option.
Junze suddenly thought of something, slightly playfully:
"But since all those students can participate, it's better to make it bigger. In the past, the ladies invited were all from aristocratic families, and an invitation is worth a thousand dollars. There is no need to impose this restriction this year.
The unmarried daughters of officials in Beijing can also participate. There is no need to lie to them, just tell them directly that students will come too, and they will participate voluntarily."
After hearing this, the eldest princess suddenly thought of something.
The mother and son looked at each other and understood.
They all shifted their gazes, tacitly pretending that they had never thought of that incident.
Su Zhongfu on the side also suddenly thought of something from the subtle expressions of his mother and son.
He also fell into silence quite wisely.
The eldest princess broke the silence, cleared her throat and said to Junze: "Also, you will also participate when the time comes. You are already a grown-up, and you must quickly resolve your life-long affairs."
After experiencing the stimulation of her son's entanglement with men several times, the eldest princess decided to put her son's life-long affairs on the agenda.
Although she is the organizer of the Peony Feast, her son Junze has only participated once so far.
It was that time that Junze scolded the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance until she wanted to hang herself. As a result, Junze was put on the blacklist of noble daughters in Kyoto when choosing a husband.
Junze had no choice but to go through the motions and agreed.
"And Prince Gu, if I meet a noble girl with good looks, I will also help her match her."
The eldest princess said while paying attention to her son's expression.
Junze said: "Let's forget it."
The eldest princess frowned.
Junze said: "With Songyang here, I bet that no noble lady would dare to risk her life to get close to Prince Gu."
