Chapter 76 Relationship
Before the three men could answer, there was a knock on the door outside and Minglu's voice was heard.
"My lady, the time has come. If you don't send the person away, there will be problems."
Su Qingqing had no choice but to give up the question and changed the subject: "Take care of yourself in prison, the three of you. Trust me, I will rescue you within a month."
As Su Qingqing finished her words, Minglu pushed the door open.
He saluted Su Qingqing, then turned to the third brother and the others, "Generals, please come in."
Minglu triggered the mechanism inside the cabin, and immediately a crack appeared in the cabin floor, which had been tightly closed, and a staircase appeared in front of him.
The third brother and the others bowed to Su Qingqing for the last time and left.
It was clearly their first time meeting the Crown Princess, but for some reason, they felt a strong sense of trust in her.
It was as if the Crown Princess was more trustworthy than the Crown Prince.
It's trust, not cooperation.
Just before Minglu closed the mechanism, Lieutenant General Zhao suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Qingqing, "Crown Princess, have we met before?"
Su Qingqing clenched her slightly curled fingers tightly, shook her head and smiled, "No."
Lieutenant General Zhao frowned and looked away in confusion.
No?
Why did he feel that the person in front of him was so familiar?
The eyes are familiar, the way of speaking is familiar, the movements are familiar, even the little movements...
When they listen to others patiently, they like to tap the table lightly with their fingertips , which is exactly the same as their general.
The mechanism closed, and the three people completely disappeared from sight.
Minglu turned around and said to Su Qingqing, "Don't worry, Madam, the three generals will be sent back to prison safely."
Su Qingqing hummed, "Where's His Highness?"
"Your Highness is waiting for the Queen outside."
Minglu opened the cabin door, and Jixiang came over immediately. He glanced . Seeing the luxurious and dazzling cabin, he couldn't help but said sadly, "Such a nice cabin, but there is no girl. What a pity."
Ming Lu: Huh?
Su Qingqing smiled and rubbed Jixiang's head, "Go and play."
After saying that, he walked towards Rong Que.
Rong Que stood at the railing and did not turn back when he heard the footsteps. Su Qingqing walked to his side and stood still. Following his gaze, she saw a small boat gradually moving away in the rippling waves.
The third brother and the others said that the reason why the prince joined them in the same front was for the military power of the Su family army.
Su Qingqing didn't intend to question the prince about this.
This is their freedom.
There is no gain without pain. No one will do something extremely risky for no reason.
But her mood at this moment was completely different from when she had just met Gao Tiankuo.
After meeting Gao Tiankuo, her mood could even be described as elated, but now she felt depressed.
Rong Que naturally didn't know what Su Qingqing was thinking. The two of them were silent for a long time. He said calmly, "Now that you've met, do you feel relieved? What are your plans for the next step?"
Su Qingqing snorted, as if she was smiling, "Of course I'm planning to rescue them."
Rong Que heard a strong sense of dissatisfaction in this person's voice and couldn't help but turn his head to look, even though Su Qingqing had a sneer on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked without hesitation.
"Not much, I'm just discussing something with you, Your Highness." After saying that, Su Qingqing stopped looking at the boat that had long since turned into a black dot, turned her head to meet Rong Que's gaze, and deliberately moved forward, "Next, I will take action against Your Highness's sweetheart."
When Rong Que heard the word "sweetheart", he felt something was not right.
What's wrong with this woman today?
He was fine before entering the cabin, but when he saw the people inside and came out again, he seemed like a different person.
Went in and had a meal of gunpowder?
Rong Que frowned and was about to speak when Su Qingqing walked over to the table and said, "It's a beautiful day, would you like to have a drink with me, Your Highness?"
As she spoke, Su Qingqing filled two wine glasses with wine, picked up one, raised her head and drank it, then poured another glass, "Your Highness, do you know Xu Qiang?"
Rong Que's heart skipped a beat. He knew what the woman had said to the three men.
Talked about the scene where Su Qingqing got into trouble.
Xu Qiang shot a black arrow at Su Qingqing.
Rong Que walked to the opposite side of Su Qingqing, picked up the wine glass with two fingers, and brought it to his lips, "I checked Xu Qiang. This man received a huge sum of money from the Su family's housekeeper a month before the expedition."
"huge sum of money?"
"Thirty thousand taels of silver."
"He is just a widow..."
Rong Que interrupted Su Qingqing and said, "If we check his household registration, he does have only a widowed mother in Zhaozhou, but I sent someone to ask in the army, and someone who was close to Xu Qiang mentioned that Xu Qiang had a son.
When I found out about this, Admiral Zhao and his men had already met with an accident, so they didn’t know these details.”
After a pause, for some reason, Rong Que added, "If you have anything to know about that matter, why not ask me directly? I know more than them."
Su Qingqing was stunned, and looked at Rong Que, her lips slightly raised, as if she was smiling, "If I ask His Highness, will His Highness tell me?"
Rong Que didn't know why he made such a promise, but the words were out, so he could only say: "It's just cooperation, of course I will tell you."
"Then Your Highness, can you tell me, are you investigating this case for that person or for the soldiers she has?"
Originally, Su Qingqing didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help it.
She rarely lost control like this, and when she asked this question she felt relieved, but then her heart started to hang in the air again.
Rong Que...how should I answer?
Rong Que obviously didn't expect this person to ask such a question. He stared at Su Qingqing, as if he wanted to see through the soul under this skin. "What do you think this king is doing?"
If it weren't for that person, what use would I have for the military power!
Su Qingqing took a sip of wine and felt that Rong Que's gaze was deep and fiery, burning her. "Your Highness, is this for someone?"
Her heart skipped a beat.
"But as far as I know, Your Highness and General Su don't seem to have much in common?"
Rong Que snorted coldly and did not answer the question, but continued with Xu Qiang's topic, "Xu Qiang's son is fourteen years old this year and is studying in a college in Hangzhou. His teacher was once Su Xiang's teacher.
After that incident, Xu Qiang’s son drowned in a river due to drunkenness.”
Even though she had guessed it before, Su Qingqing felt as if her heart was hit by a hammer.
Why?
The person who killed her was actually... her father?
Why!
Isn't the fame and fortune she gained from commanding an army of 100,000 men greater than what the Duke of Zhenguo gave her?
Damn it, Su Qingqing thought of what Su Xiang said when he was drunk that day.
Su Xiang said that Su Yunhe knew some big shots in Nanliang.
Seeing Su Qingqing's reaction, Rong Que once again felt that the person in front of him overlapped with the figure in his memory. He suddenly reached out and gently rubbed Su Qingqing's head, "I checked the relationship between Su Yunhe and Nanliang, but unfortunately, I found nothing."
He placed his warm palm on Su Qingqing's head and did not take it away immediately.
In the slightly cool night, Su Qingqing felt a little hot because of this ray of warmth. She looked up at Rong Que, "You have checked so much? Is there anything else?"
