The rising sun dyes the clouds in the sky extremely gorgeous.
Su Shi and Jin were standing on the deck, with the sun shining on them and the breeze blowing through their hair, making them even more handsome and elegant.
Su Shi's eyes were slightly closed and his expression was very indifferent, as if he was enjoying the calmness and refreshment of this moment, but Zhou Jin had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of Jinghu Lake at sunrise.
"I know you have admired the sunrise over Jinghu Lake countless times, but this is my first time. Please indulge me."
Zhou Jin forced a smile: "If you want to enjoy the sunrise on Jinghu Lake, you can do it at any time. I can even give you this boat."
"I'm not a person who understands romance. When the interest arises, I just do it once in a while." Su Shi couldn't help showing a hint of bitterness: "Any beautiful scenery, if you look at it every day, sooner or later you will lose interest."
Then Su Shi looked at her and couldn't help but tease: "Since the first time we met, you have been deliberately thinking about giving this boat to me. Are you tired of staying on the boat and want to change the environment?"
Zhou Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said angrily: "You are still in the mood to joke. Now that the handkerchief has been stolen, if the thief understands the secret in the handkerchief, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
Su Shi seemed disapproving: "After you found out that the handkerchief was lost, you banned anyone from entering or exiting the palace. The handkerchief must still be in the palace. What are you worried about?"
"What if the thief destroys the handkerchief?" At this point, Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi strangely, because yesterday he seemed very interested in the secret on the handkerchief, but today he seemed to have completely changed.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
The sun seemed too bright. Su Shi looked down at the shining golden water waves and became silent for a moment.
After a long time, Su Cai withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Zhou Jin, who looked hesitant.
"Have you ever wondered why the prince kept it secret after he finished writing the book, not even telling the people closest to him?"
This question has been lingering in Zhou Jin's mind, but she can't think of any reason at all. When she heard Su Shixiang asked, she couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes.
"you know?"
Su Shi became a little hesitant at this time. He looked at the distant mountains quietly, his eyes full of confusion.
"The reason why the prince kept the book he wrote secret is because, according to my guess, the book should contain a secret that he cannot tell."
"Is it his affair with Huiniang? But now this secret is no longer a secret."
Su Shi shook his head gently: "That's not the secret recorded in the book."
Zhou Jin looked at him curiously: "What secret is that?"
Su Shi hesitated again for a long time before finally sighing: "It should be a very strange, dreamy, and unbelievable experience. This kind of experience can never be told to others, and no one will believe it."
Zhou Jin was startled at first, and then couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Prince has never even been out of the capital, how could he have the experience you mentioned. And if he had such an experience, how could I not know about it? Even if I I don’t know, even my father will know, but I’ve never heard anyone mention it.”
Su Shi didn't seem to want to dwell too much on this issue, so he added, "And even if you find that book, it won't be of any use?"
Zhou Jin was even more surprised: "Why?"
Su Shi sighed: "Have you forgotten the mysterious words on the handkerchief? No one can understand it except the prince and Pei Xun. I believe that the prince also used this kind of words when writing books. Now the prince and Pei Xun have already If you are dead, who can decipher its meaning?"
Zhou Jin still looked at him unconvinced: "Since the prince brother and Pei Xun can both recognize this kind of writing, I don't believe there is no one else in the world who knows this kind of writing."
Su Shi couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "If there are really other people who know this kind of writing, then the world would be crazy."
He mumbled in a low voice, and his words were so unclear that Zhou Jin could not hear clearly. His eyes were bent into two crescents, and he looked at him doubtfully.
Su Shi stretched and said, "If you don't believe it, you will find out when you find this book."
Seeing that Su Shi was half hiding and half hiding, Zhou Jin felt very uncomfortable and her expression became cold.
"In this case, I shouldn't waste time. If I had started the interrogation from last night, I'm afraid I would have found the handkerchief by now."
"How to interrogate?" Su Shi looked at her with a half-smile.
Zhou Jin was speechless for a moment. There were twenty or thirty palace maids and eunuchs in her palace, coming and going and no one knew how many people would be involved. And now there is no evidence in hand. Even if one person is interrogated one by one, who will admit it.
What's more, the handkerchief is an extremely small thing. It can be easily crumpled into a ball and hidden in an inconspicuous place. Even if the entire palace is turned over, it may not be found.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jin felt very angry. Even Su Shi's smile seemed not as beautiful as before in her eyes.
"You're still laughing, why don't you think of a way out?"
Su Shi immediately withdrew his smile and said seriously: "You rushed here early in the morning, so I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet. I asked You Gui to prepare breakfast. Let's discuss it while we eat."
"Are you still in the mood to eat?"
Su Shi made a helpless expression: "I can't help it, I'm growing tall and I'm getting hungry fast."
As if to prove what he said, Su Shi's stomach growled without losing the opportunity.
When one person can hear another person's stomach growling, it means that the distance between the two is very close. Zhou Jin couldn't help but glare at him with a blushing face.
In fact, Zhou Jin paid attention to keeping a distance from Su Shi every time, but he would always get very close unknowingly.
Arriving at the VIP room last night, You Gui was already waiting there. When he saw Su Shi and Zhou Jin walking in, he immediately came up to greet him and said respectfully: "I have met Her Highness the Princess, I have met Mr. Su. Please, Your Highness the Princess Wait a moment with Mr. Su, and the younger one will urge them to serve the food immediately."
After saying that, he was about to leave when Su Shi smiled and said, "Brother You hasn't had breakfast yet, why don't we come together?"
You Gui's face immediately turned red, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "Master Su is trying to shame me. I have such a humble status, how dare I be called this, let alone eat at the same table as Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Su."
Su Shi didn't force himself and nodded to You Gui: "That's good work."
After You Gui left, Su Shi looked at his leaving figure and asked casually, "Uncle Gui has been working on this ship for many years, right?"
Zhou Jin sat down and said smoothly: "Uncle Gui was already here when this boat first opened, which means it has been thirteen years."
"I remember that he has been living on the boat. Didn't he have a family?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "Uncle Gui fled to the capital. His wife and children both starved to death on the way to escape. Uncle Gui is still in love with his old love and has no intention of marrying again."
"Which room on the ship does your uncle live in?"
Zhou Jin's expression became strange because Su Shi was too interested in You Gui.
But even though she felt strange, she pointed to the wall behind her and said slowly: "There is a small room behind here, and Uncle Gui lives there."
Su Shi looked at the wall, then looked up along the wall, and nodded lightly.
