The Su family in the divine capital.
Deep in the mansion, in a quiet courtyard, the unconscious head of the Su family was lying on the bed, and several maids were wiping out towels and wiping his face.
Ever since Su Xian was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out, he still hasn't woken up, lying on the bed like a living dead.
The maid wrung out the towel again and was about to wipe his face, but suddenly her expression changed and she shouted loudly:
"The master of the house is awake!"
"The head of the family is awake?" Several people outside the door screamed in surprise. Then the door was pushed open and several people poured in. They were all direct descendants of the Su family and respected elders.
"The master of the house finally woke up!" They were happy and helped him up and sat on the bed.
"How long have I been asleep?" the head of the family asked, holding his forehead with his hand. His head was dizzy after sleeping for too long and he was still not quite awake.
"soon……"
After chatting for a while, suddenly, a faint intermittent shouting came from outside the house, which seemed to mention the word "Su Xian".
The head of the family's face immediately fell.
His memory still lingered on when Su Xian broke the legs of the people he sent to Yingzhou and sent them back more than ten days ago, so when he heard the word "Su Xian", he frowned and snorted coldly.
"Master, calm down, let me go and see what's going on. Who dares to shout here? It's so disrespectful!" The two clan elders cursed and walked out of the room.
after a little while.
They return.
He looked very ugly, with a gloomy face.
"What's going on?" the head of the family asked coldly.
"The head of the family has just woken up. It's better to have a good rest first... Actually, it doesn't matter. A young boy doesn't understand the rules, and I have punished him severely..." The elder of the clan tried to muddle through.
"I asked, what happened just now?" The owner of the house was sitting on the bed, slapping the quilt heavily with his thin hands, his eyes were stern, and his voice was quite intimidating.
"Master..." The clan elder hesitated, hesitating to speak.
"I have only slept for a few days. Why, when I wake up, I am no longer the head of the Su family? Tell me!" His head was already dizzy, but now that the people in the clan were disobedient, he became furious.
"Don't dare... Head of the family, we are afraid that you... won't be able to withstand it." The clan elder said with a bitter smile.
"explain!"
"..."
The two clan elders looked at each other, shook their heads, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The Yellow River flooded earlier, and flood victims were everywhere in Hebei Road, Henan Road and other places..."
"A tragic plague broke out in Henan Province...but nothing happened in Hebei Province, because...that traitor thought of some ways to prevent the plague!"
"Isn't this...impossible?" Others in the room looked shocked.
The head of the Su family frowned again, closed his eyes, and put his hand on his forehead. He felt that his head was a little more dizzy, and a faint throbbing pain came from his brain.
"At the same time, the traitor thought of another way to mess up the northern Liao Kingdom. He had no time to take care of himself and bought Daliang a few months of breathing space." The clan elder continued.
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone in the room had time to recover, they saw the head of the Su family sitting on the bed falling down.
"The head of the family..."
Everyone rushed to hold him up, with worried expressions on their faces. Someone suggested: "Master, why don't we just listen? Let's pretend we never gave birth to that rebellious son."
"I can still withstand it!" The head of the Su family waved away the people who were supporting him. His eyes widened, and his momentum suddenly surged. The majesty of the head of the family was fully displayed.
"go on!"
The clan elder had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "The traitor has achieved two great achievements in succession, plus the military merits of the Youzhou War some time ago, the Queen bestows..."
"What is the gift?" the head of the family asked loudly with eyes wide open.
"Give that rebellious son... a third-grade marquis, with the title of 'Marquis of Fanyang County'!" the clan elder said with a wry smile.
However, the bitter smile on his lips did not disappear, and he shouted and rushed to the bed together with everyone——
It turned out that when the head of the Su family first heard the news that Su Xian was granted the title of Marquis, his head and body shook three times, he spit out a mouthful of old blood, then closed his eyes and fell directly on the bed, unconscious.
"The head of the family..."
The entire Su family was suddenly in chaos.
…
…
Hebei Road.
Yingzhou.
While the entire city was abuzz with discussions about Su Xian's appointment as a marquis, he, as the person involved, stayed at his residence and played with Liu Huixiang for several days.
Calculating the journey of Qiudian's army, if everything goes well, it will take at least two days to return to Yingzhou.
Su Xian was not anxious at all. In the past few days, he had been with Liu Huixiang all day long, and he had not even been to the marching camp in the north of the city.
Princess Lanling didn't bother him either.
They had a tacit understanding, and they both knew in their hearts that after the embarrassing ambiguity that happened in the princess's bedroom study that day, it was better not to meet each other, and it was always better to calm down for a few days.
This morning, Su Xian forced Liu Huixiang to sleep until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. After washing and eating breakfast, Liu Huixiang, who was determined to be a good wife, finally couldn't help but admonished:
"My husband has a heavy responsibility and has had enough fun these days. Why don't you go to the camp in the north of the city today? To hand over prisoners and food to the Liao Kingdom..."
"Wang Sima is in charge personally. It's okay. Madam, don't worry. Come on, eat some fruit in the morning to stay young and beautiful."
Liu Huixiang opened her red lips lightly, shook her head, took the fruit, thought for a while and then said:
"But... didn't my husband say before that Wang Sima is always fainting? If something unexpected happens, the princess will..."
"Madam, don't worry, it's okay. With Wang Sima here, there is no need for me to personally intervene..."
"..."
Su Xian was about to change the topic and discuss where to go today, when a maid came over and said:
"The princess sent someone to invite her. She said it was urgent and asked Alang to enter the camp immediately."
"Uh..." Su Xian was a little confused. Facing Liu Huixiang's victorious eyes, he smiled dryly and said, "Maybe the princess has finished her candy and asked me to make a new batch."
"The people sent by the princess came to see me." Su Xian made a final struggle.
After a while, someone came. It was a female official who was beside Princess Lanling. Although her status was not as high as that of the Qiu Dian Army and the Winter Dian Army, she was still a high-ranking figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
After the two parties met, Su Xian asked carelessly: "What does the princess want from me? Is it very difficult? Can't Wang Sima solve it? Do I have to go there?"
The female officer remembered what the princess asked Su Xian to deal with, and a lot of black lines suddenly appeared on her forehead, and then she smiled and said: "The princess personally ordered that only Su Xianyi can solve this matter, and no one else, including Wang Sima, can."
"Oh well!"
Su Xian had no choice but to agree.
Soon after the meal, Su Xian changed his clothes under Liu Huixiang's personal service, and went out slowly.
Liu Huixiang came back from seeing off Su Xian and hurried to the flower hall where she had just eaten. Seeing that the leftovers had been removed, she hurriedly ordered: "Where is the fruit that your husband gave me just now? Bring it back, I want to eat it."
