Zhou Jin's smile was like a flower, and her eyes were as clear as a pool of water, but Su Shi could clearly feel the confusion in her smile and the sadness in her eyes.
"Have you found any clues?" Su Shi kept looking at Zhou Jin's hands that were like gelatin.
Zhou Jin's hands held the glass teacup, and the water rippled gently in the teacup.
"I have reported this matter to my father, who has arranged for secret guards to investigate, but there is no result yet."
Zhou Jin seemed to notice that Su Shi was observing her hands, and hurriedly put the teacup on the table, retracting her hands into her sleeves, leaving only her slender jade fingers exposed.
Su Shi looked away from the teacup and then looked into Zhou Jin's eyes: "Are you worried?"
Zhou Jin's smile gradually faded: "Who told you that I have something on my mind?"
"Your eyes, your smile, your hands, even the cup of tea you just put down are telling me that you have something on your mind."
Zhou Jin forced a smile: "What did you tell me about that cup of tea?"
Su Shi sighed: "The tea in that cup of tea told me that its head is very dizzy now, because the hands holding it were shaking non-stop."
Zhou Jin became silent, but immediately looked up at him: "You should know that what's on my mind is that we still know nothing about Pei Xun's plan."
"No, absolutely not." Su Shi said with certainty, "Because you are very nervous, hesitant, and even a little sad now. These are not things Pei Xun can bring to you."
Zhou Jin suddenly became flustered, and she didn't dare to look into Su Shi's eyes anymore. She lowered her head and said softly, "It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace."
Seeing Zhou Jin's panic expression, Su Shi sighed secretly and slowly turned sideways. Zhou Jin lowered his head and walked quickly outside the study.
At this time, a thin figure outside the study suddenly knelt down, then crawled on the ground with his whole body, and cried to Su Shi: "Master, please find a way to save the princess."
At this time, Zhou Jin was walking quickly past Su Shi, but when Su Shi heard Lan'er's prayer, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin was caught off guard, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Su Shi naturally crossed his arms and hugged her.
Even though she was now soft and fragrant, Su Shi just looked at Lan'er in confusion, because Lan'er's words were like seven or eight thunders exploding in his ears.
Su Shi was still in extreme shock when he heard Zhou Jin yelling: "Lan'er, what are you talking about?"
Although Lan'er was shaking all over, she still lay on the ground and refused to get up.
At this time, Zhou Jin wanted to get rid of Su Shi and stepped forward to stop Lan'er, so her body kept struggling. Su Shi also came to his senses, but naturally he wouldn't let go until the matter was unclear, and he held her waist tightly with a pair of pliers.
"What happened?" Su Shi ignored Zhou Jin and just looked at Lan'er with a tone as cold as ice.
Seeing Su Shi's question, Lan'er immediately replied quickly: "Hu Ting has sent an envoy to Beijing and wants to marry Her Highness the Princess."
Hearing Lan'er finally say it, Zhou Jin's body softened and it seemed that he could no longer hold on. Su Shi immediately put his arm around her waist, held her shoulder up with the other hand, and pulled her into his arms.
He looked at Lan'er in confusion, and at the same time he felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart. This sense of absurdity made him laugh angrily: "Hu Ting sent envoys to Beijing to marry the princess? How could they do such a thing? What’s ridiculous? Now that Daqian is strong and powerful, how can your Majesty make a marriage proposal?"
Although Su Shi was younger than Zhou Jin, he was a head taller than Zhou Jin. At this moment, Zhou Jin was held in his arms. He was so flustered that he felt a different kind of emotion. He couldn't help but rest his head on his. On the chest.
Although the jade was warm in his arms and the orchid was in his nose, Su Shi was naturally unaware because of doubts and anger in his heart.
Zhou Jin secretly looked up at Su Shi, and saw a layer of anger on Su Shi's indifferent face, with cold eyes. Her originally panicked heart gradually calmed down, and a warmth flowed through her mouth, even involuntarily. Slightly upturned.
Lan'er just said with a cry: "I don't know. I only know that the envoy from Hu Ting met with the Holy Spirit today and once again mentioned the matter of marrying the princess. After discussing with the King of Qi, the King of Zhao and the important officials in the court, His Majesty actually expressed the intention of getting married."
Lan'er has been lying on the ground, unaware of the situation in the room. After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhou Jin had not spoken for a long time, she curiously raised her head and took a peek. When she saw the scene in the study clearly, she was almost scared to death.
She didn't expect Mr. Su to be so bold and dare to hug the princess tightly in his arms. The princess didn't seem to blame him and even took the initiative to rest her head on Mr. Su's arms.
Lan'er was shocked and immediately lowered her head in fear, but her body was like sieving chaff.
Just now, she wanted to relieve her master's worries, so she crawled to the ground in desperation, but now she was so frightened that she lay motionless on the ground, not even daring to peek into the study.
Su Shi's eyes kept staring at her, and his expression became a little strange.
"You just said that the Hu people proposed to marry the princess again. Did they mention it before?"
Lan'er felt that her teeth were trembling, and she finally squeezed out one word from her mouth: "Yes."
"So, Your Majesty has rejected the barbarians before?"
Lan'er was buried deeper: "Yes."
Su Shi frowned: "Then why did His Majesty change his mind this time?"
"This slave doesn't know."
Seeing that Lan'er really didn't know, Su Shi looked down at Zhou Jin and found that her bright eyes were looking at him without blinking, and there was no worry in her eyes.
Qin Nan was looking at Su Shi dreamingly, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly look at her. He felt panicked and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look into Su Shi's eyes.
Then she realized that she was still in Su Shi's arms, and she became even more flustered. Just as she was about to break away from his arms, she suddenly thought that her father's words actually meant reconciliation, and she immediately felt infinite grievance and unwillingness in her heart. He couldn't control it for a moment, and crystal tears flowed down his cheeks, dripping silently on the floor.
Su Shi just subconsciously hugged Zhou Jin into his arms, but now he felt it was inappropriate and was about to let go of his hands. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin stretched out his hands and hugged him tightly, burying his head deeply into his chest. Then he sobbed silently.
At this time, the room suddenly fell into silence. Although Lan'er knew that there was something strange in the room, she lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Su Shi stiffened his body. After a long time, he sighed softly, put his hand on Zhou Jin's head, and gently stroked the waterfall-like hair on her head.
Zhou Jin hugged Su Shi tightly, feeling Su Shi's tenderness, and couldn't bear it anymore. Tears poured out like spring water, wetting Su Shi's chest.
