The residence of Grand Tutor Su is one of the best in the entire capital.
Naturally, the three meals a day and the supplies would not be much different.
It has been three days since Su Changan arrived at the Su Mansion.
Three days in a row.
When Su Changan was in the Su Mansion, he was either sitting in his yard, chatting with Maomao and the others, or wandering around aimlessly.
It can be said.
He was so idle that he even forgot how to write the word "busy".
And today.
On the second floor of a small courtyard called Yimeiyuan, Su Changan lay on the bed, sticking his head out of the window, looking at the cat downstairs fiddling with the medicinal herbs in the yard.
Then he looked at Deputy Commander Yan Ruyu who was standing aside with a long sword in his hand and keeping the same posture.
then
Snap!
He lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
After watching for a while, he blinked and rolled from the east end of the bed to the west end and then back again.
"I'm free~~~"
Then, he stopped and continued to look at the ceiling of the room and sighed.
At this moment, Su Changan has temporarily given up his plan to escape.
It's not that I don't want to escape.
But after thinking it over, he felt that if he ran away like this, he would be unworthy of the kindness that Empress Xia Fengxiang had shown him.
As a responsible man, Su Changan would not leave without saying goodbye.
So before he thought about how to take full responsibility for this matter, he planned to take it one step at a time.
"But, having said that, Xia Fengxiang's life is really not easy."
Looking at the ceiling, Su Changan sighed.
He had no interest in it before, and he was obsessed with escaping from the palace, so he was too lazy to listen to the gossips of the palace maids.
But in these three days.
He learned some information from Yan Ruyu.
When the late emperor passed away, although he had four princes and princesses, he passed the throne to Xia Fengxiang, the third son.
In this world where men and women are treated equally, and even in some worlds where women are superior, passing the throne to a woman does not cause any big stir.
There were many examples of empresses in this dynasty.
But the problem is that before the late emperor passed away, many things were not packed up, and he just left without paving the way for Xia Fengxiang.
There are many halls in the court. Apart from the old Grand Tutor Su and the New Emperor's faction under his command, there is the neutral Hanlin faction and the most dangerous Prince faction. Of course, there are also some fence-sitters.
The eighth prince, Xia Chenfeng, is one of the princes.
In addition, there are two princes who hold military power in their respective fiefdoms, as well as Xia Fengxiang's brother and sister who also hold real power in the capital.
In addition, many ministers also had their own ulterior motives.
Even within the harem, the empress dowager holds her own power in her hands.
To put it simply, Su Changan discovered that the empress Xia Fengxiang was surrounded by enemies and knives flying from all directions!
"It's not easy to be the husband of this empress."
Su Changan felt a headache.
"Forget it. I've already been murdered so many times."
But immediately, Su Changan sat up and stretched out his hand to scratch his long black hair.
After coming to this world, Su Changan didn't learn anything else, but his ability to adapt can be said to have maxed out his attribute points.
"But the wedding is a month away. Do I have to stay in this yard for a month?"
While thinking this, Su Changan looked out the window at the streets and buildings that were clearly visible in the distance.
"Besides, the food in this world is so simple, even for the rich, huh?"
When Su Changan was talking to himself.
He saw two white rabbits hopping into Yimei Courtyard.
Moreover, these two rabbits seemed to be well-fed, fat and big.
In his previous life, although Su Changan was not an upper-class person, he lived a pretty good life, especially when it came to food.
When I came to this world, I was very hungry at first, so I didn’t dare to think about anything. I just ate whatever I could as long as it had something to eat.
Later, when she arrived at the palace, she was so obsessed with keeping it a secret that no one would find out that she was a master. She didn't have time to be particular about food, and usually left immediately after eating at the place where the palace maids ate, and would not stay for a while longer.
but now
He is very free.
And when people have free time.
I either want to eat or play something.
“Rabbit meat with fresh peppers, rabbit head”
Looking at the two fat rabbits, Su Changan murmured.
And at this time.
Two little maids stood at the gate of the yard. After they bowed respectfully to Yan Ruyu in the yard, they seemed to explain their purpose.
Yan Ruyu was an eighth-rank master, so catching two rabbits was a piece of cake for him. He caught the two rabbits and handed them back to the two maids.
After the two men bowed respectfully, they bowed towards the attic and prepared to leave.
"Yan Ruyu."
Su Changan had already walked out of the attic at this time.
"Miss Su."
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and immediately clasped her fists.
The two maids holding the rabbit were originally planning to leave, but they saw Su Changan coming over.
He immediately bowed again: "Greetings, young lady."
"Do you know where to buy big rabbits in Beijing?"
Su Changan waved his hand, reached out and rubbed the big fat head of one of the rabbits, and asked with a smile.
"?"
Upon hearing this, the two maids were stunned and didn't understand what Su Changan meant.
"I have nothing to do, so I want to make some rabbit meat snacks, so I asked you."
Su Changan didn't hide anything, and there was nothing to hide in this matter, so he spoke very frankly.
"Aren't there two of them?"
The cat over there pointed at the rabbits in the hands of the two maids and looked at Su Changan with an expressionless face.
Hearing this, the two maids were shocked and quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, these two white jade rabbits are Miss Second's favorite pets. You can't eat them."
Su Changan rolled his eyes at Maomao, helped the two maids up and said, "So I was asking you where you can buy rabbits? I don't plan to eat this pair."
Hearing this, the two maids seemed to be relieved, but still a little scared. They hugged the rabbits in their arms tighter and said, "My dear Miss, there are many rabbits raised in the rabbit farm outside the city, but I don't know if they are for sale."
"Want to go out?" Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and said.
"Just have someone buy it for me. I'm afraid of dying out there."
After experiencing the poisoning incident three days ago and knowing Xia Fengxiang’s current special situation, Su Changan also knew very well why he was murdered by so many people.
So, this is one of the main reasons why he doesn't want to escape anymore!
After all, if I stay here now, I only need to keep my secret to survive, but outside...
You might die if you drink some water!
so.
I can stay at home!
Never go out!
"Everything is as you wish and as you are instructed. If you want to go out, we will not stop you, and we will protect you closely to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan's hesitation. She could naturally see that Su Changan actually wanted to go out, but as a guard, she actually didn't want Su Changan to go out.
"That's true." Su Changan frowned and looked down at the rabbits in the arms of the two maids.
want to go out!
After all, I have been holding it in for a few days!!
but.
It should be fine if I go out to buy something and come back directly.
Anyway, I won't leave Yan Ruyu's side.
But will there be such a chance?
"How many people are protecting me?" Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu and asked.
Yan Ruyu replied: "On the surface, it is just me and a total of 100 Chixia soldiers."
Su Changan nodded, meaning that there are people protecting me in secret.
"It seems like I can go out and get some fresh air," Su Changan murmured, but he was still hesitant!
"Go out?" Su Changan looked at Maomao.
Maomao looked at Su Changan like this and sighed. She knew that Su Changan was being sentimental again, so she said, "I'm going to pack my things. Please tell them that the young lady is leaving the house."
