The moon and stars are sparse and the breeze blows.
Although it was already summer, Su Shi still felt a bit chilly.
But Su Shi didn't return to the bedroom, he was still waiting for news.
It was not until around Xu Shi that Zhang Ao hurried to the backyard with Zhou Jin's personal maid Lan'er.
Lan'er came to Su Shi, bowed Yingying, and said crisply: "I have met Mr. Su."
Su Shi hurriedly supported her and said, "Miss Lan'er, there's no need to be polite. Your Highness, Princess, may you please tell me something."
Lan'er straightened up and looked around. Su Shi knew what he meant and said, "You guys go down first."
After Lin Mo and Zhang Ao left, Su Shi slowly asked, "What are your orders from Her Highness the Princess?"
Lan'er lowered her head and replied: "Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to convey a message to the young master."
"What words?"
Lan'er said softly: "Your Majesty is furious and wants to get to the bottom of it. He will never tolerate it."
Su Shi's expression did not change after hearing this. He was silent for a while before smiling and said, "I know, thank you for your hard work, Miss Lan'er."
Lan'er bowed Yingying again and said, "Since the words have been conveyed, Lan'er will leave now."
Su Shi nodded and called Zhang Ao to take Lan'er out of the house.
After Lan'er left, Su Cai slowly returned to the dormitory under the moonlight.
This night, there was no dream, and Su Shi slept very well.
So early the next morning, he felt energized and even ran around the general's mansion twice without feeling tired.
While eating, Su Zhou looked at him curiously and couldn't help but ask, "It seems you are in a good mood today."
Su Shi said while drinking porridge: "It seems that I am in a good mood every day."
Su Zhou stopped using his chopsticks, looked at him, and said with a smile, "But you are in a very good mood today."
Su Shi did not deny it.
"Why?"
"Because starting from today, I will show off my talents to repay the emperor's kindness."
Su Zhou glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "Tell the truth."
Su Shi smiled and said: "This is the truth, it's just a high-sounding truth. If you don't want to hear this, I can express it in a different tone."
Su Zhou said without hesitation: "I don't want to hear such words."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Starting from today, Qianqiu Zhiku and Dongyuan Zhiku will officially start a war, and it will be a fight to the death. The reason why I am very happy is because I know that I will definitely win this battle."
"No accident?"
"There will be no surprises."
"Why are you so sure?"
Su Shi had complete trust in Su Zhou, so he did not hide anything. He said slowly: "Because His Majesty will take action."
Su Zhou frowned slightly: "Will His Majesty take action? Will he take action against the eldest prince?"
Su Shi said calmly: "I'm afraid many people have forgotten that the leader of this country is still Your Majesty, and Your Majesty should teach these people a painful lesson."
Su Zhou looked at Su Shi in surprise, because at this moment he had a vague feeling in his heart that the Dongyuan Quality Library was not his ultimate goal, and Su Shi seemed to have other intentions.
Su Zhou's thoughts suddenly became very confused, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Su Shi after Su Shi fell from the high wall of Qin Mansion.
Because from that day on, he could no longer see Su Shi clearly.
This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling had disappeared after spending this period of time together. But now when Su Zhou looked at him, this feeling suddenly emerged again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Su Zhou staring at him with strange eyes, Su Shi couldn't help but asked curiously.
Su Zhou then took a long breath, shook his head slowly, and said, "It's nothing, I was just wondering how His Majesty would take action."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already taken action, but I still want to know how far your Majesty will go."
Su Zhou was shocked and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Su Shi sighed: "I'm afraid that even Dongyuan Quality Depository has not realized that the two quality depots are just pawns, and if this battle is fought, not only one of the quality depots will fall."
Before Su Zhou asked again, Su Shi said slowly: "I don't mind being treated as a pawn by others, but I do care if the people behind me sell me out. So he should also show some sincerity, at least Let me know that it’s worth it for me to be out front.”
The room suddenly fell into silence. Su Zhou didn't fully understand what Su Shi said, but he understood a little bit. Su Shi was plotting against His Majesty, and seemed to want to bargain with His Majesty.
He really couldn't figure out why Su Shi thought like this? Why do you dare to think so?
Because in Su Zhou's view, this was simply an act of rebellion.
It's just that Su Shi said it in an extremely cryptic way. He wanted to scold him but couldn't catch anything. He was shocked for a long time and finally had to look at Su Shi helplessly.
Su Shi couldn't help but sighed: "Actually, I don't want to be like this. Wouldn't it be nice to be a young man who idles around all day long?"
Then he looked directly at Su Zhou and said solemnly: "Although I have already stuck one foot in, it is still too late to get out in time. Are you willing for me to get out?"
Su Zhou couldn't answer. He looked at Su Shi blankly and suddenly felt that it might have been a wrong decision to drag him into this vortex.
Seeing that Su Zhou could not answer for a long time, Su Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Since you don't want me to leave, and I don't want to be slaughtered by others, then it depends on how your Majesty ends the battle with Dongyuan Zhiku."
Su Zhou finally asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Su Shi put his elbows on the table, clasped his fists on his chest, and kept tapping the back of his left fist with the palm of his right hand. After a long time, he slowly said: "This battle with Dongyuan Zhiku will involve many people, and His Majesty will also be under great pressure to deal with it.”
Speaking of this, Su Shi smiled and said: "But this time is not an opportunity. If His Majesty can withstand the pressure and make the execution that is most beneficial to him, then the situation in the court will naturally change."
"And I know how determined your majesty is, so I know how to make the next plan. But if your majesty still can't withstand the pressure this time and settles the matter hastily, do you think that with the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the General's Mansion and the Qin Mansion, plus a Persian Can the nobles really resist the counterattack of those wealthy families in the capital?"
In the end, Su Shi slowly concluded: "So the key to everything lies with Your Majesty."
Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "That's why you planned to bring His Majesty in from the beginning."
Su Shi nodded: "This Daqian belongs to his world. Since the chaos is coming, how can he hide behind it?"
"What if His Majesty refuses to take action? Or is it not what you want?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "That's okay. In this world, profit is the only thing that matters. For the sake of huge interests, it is not uncommon for conflicts to be turned into friendship."
