Green bricks and dark tiles, flowers bloom on the paths, perfuming her clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, she plucks stars with her bare hands, adorned in a rainbow.
Chapter 249 An unexpected event
moon shadow slanting
Someone, having had a full meal, began to think about the next meal. "The weather is getting warmer, shall I take you hunting in the mountains tomorrow?"
Su Shengsheng couldn't help but close her eyelids. "Yanzhou burned the textile machines, and the women are protesting. I have to deal with it tomorrow."
Xie Xuan frowned in dissatisfaction, but he had just had a good meal, so he couldn't get angry right away. He could only be patient and asked, "Why are they protesting? Isn't this weaving faster?"
Su Shengsheng was already half asleep and half awake. "Just like the rise of e-commerce, I'm afraid my job will be abolished..."
Xie Xuan was even more confused, but he knew she wouldn't be free to accompany him tomorrow, so he felt a little annoyed: "What about the day after tomorrow? She'll be free then, right?"
"The day after tomorrow, candle vendors from all over the country will protest. I have to deal with it..."
As the last note fell, Su Shengsheng's little head sank completely into the pillow.
Xie Xuan gritted his teeth in hatred as he watched the little woman who was busy all day and had no time to accompany him.
So, the princess became theirs!
No matter how angry I was, I could only hold the little guy in my arms and sleep in frustration.
He'll wait until tomorrow to finish everything for her and see if she can still refuse...
next day
When Su Shengsheng was traveling, Zai Qing was driving the car and hit an old lady passing by.
Such frauds are not uncommon. Every time in Qing, he wanted to argue with them, but the princess always paid him off.
This time was no exception. After listening to Su Shengsheng's instructions, Zai Qing took out a handful of silver and told her not to risk her life again.
Unexpectedly, the old woman bit his hand and shouted, "The princess's servants are beating people, help!"
Su Shengsheng: “…”
Zai Qingye held his forehead speechlessly.
It would probably take quite a while to find fault with something so obvious like this.
Su Shengsheng got out of the car and planned to walk to the store.
Qing Ran, who was sent to her side and could not be driven away, focused slightly, "Princess, this person's voice is very strange."
Su Shengsheng sighed as she took the information, "Very energetic, isn't it?"
It takes strength to do it!
As the saying goes, "Fame brings trouble," Su Shengsheng didn't plan to stay for long.
Although the people were not used to this kind of scene, they still greeted Su Shengsheng happily.
As the two were moving towards the outside of the crowd, the old woman's family appeared out of nowhere. Before they could even see the old woman's injuries, they started wailing, "The princess beat someone in the street. Is there anyone who will do anything about it?"
She hits people?
Su Shengsheng turned around and pointed at herself, "I hit someone?"
The man cried and shouted, saying that the princess hit him and ran away, and let his subordinates take the blame.
He didn't care at all about the witnesses of the people nearby and just made a fuss.
Su Shengsheng got angry when she saw that the old woman's leg was really injured and still bleeding, and this man was still extorting money from her and refusing to send her to the hospital.
"As a son, you don't support your elderly parents, you let them bleed profusely, and you're still making trouble here. Do you have any humanity at all?"
The man paused in his tears and glanced at her, "You have to give me money, but you also have to take my mother to see a doctor."
The people watching nearby angrily called this man shameless.
Although Su Shengsheng was angry, she didn't want to waste time talking to the old woman anymore since she saw that she had bled a lot.
"Zaiqing, help the man into the car and go to the clinic first."
Zai Qing looked at the two of them angrily, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to do as he was told.
The man followed Zai Qing and sat down in the front, looking very proud. He turned back and said, "Princess, you are rich, but you want to leave after bumping into someone?"
Qing Ran was so displeased with such a shameless person that he just stopped the bleeding on the man's leg according to Su Shengsheng's instructions.
Unexpectedly, something strange happened at this moment. When she was about to stand up, the old woman suddenly wrapped a circle of thin silk around her neck.
Everyone's attention was on Su Shengsheng, including the secret guards and Qing Ran.
Even when she was bandaging the wound, half of her attention was on Su Shengsheng.
Being captured suddenly at this moment was a big surprise.
The secret guards rushed out instantly, but the two people inside were not afraid at all.
"I heard that the princess values human life the most, and it's true." Everyone's face changed at the strange laughter.
It is the accent of Nanzhao Kingdom.
But before Su Shengsheng could speak, the old woman tightened the string in her hand and said, "I know the princess is resourceful, so I will only give you three, otherwise I will tear her head off immediately."
The secret guards looked shocked and immediately protected Su Shengsheng, "Princess, you can't do that."
These two are strange, and they might be trying to take the princess' life.
But the people in the car had already counted, "One, two..."
Seeing the thin line around Qingran's neck tightening, Su Shengsheng stepped forward without thinking, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Princess, leave me alone..."
Qingran wanted to shout, but was strangled by the person behind him.
Su Shengsheng took a few steps forward, a fine needle already drawn from her sleeve, her face filled with panic. "Let the man go first, and I'll go with you."
After all, Zai Qing had no martial arts skills, and he wanted to hold the man hostage to rescue Qing Ran, but he didn't expect to be counterattacked by the other party.
Seeing that both of them were in a chokehold, Su Shengsheng stepped into the car.
"Princess..." The people surrounded the car in horror, preventing it from leaving.
They knew very well that the princess was probably being targeted by the enemy country, so how could they allow unidentified people to take the princess away from them?
The old lady looked at Su Shengsheng with a sinister look in her eyes, "Tell them to move out of the way quickly, or I will strangle her neck immediately."
At this moment, there is still a Qingran between them.
The people didn't care about anything else and just stopped the vehicles from moving.
The secret guards sent to protect the princess finally focused their eyes on one thing.
They were ordered to protect the princess first...
When the two men saw the secret guards raising their sleeve arrows, they immediately put Qingran and Zaiqing in front of them and said, "Put down your weapons."
Seeing the situation getting out of control and the secret guards ignoring her orders, Su Shengsheng gritted her teeth and said, "Discharge."
At the same time, she blocked the secret guards' sight.
In a flash, Zai Qing remembered what Su Shengsheng said when she taught him how to drive.
He suddenly pulled out the fuse and rammed the car body.
As the two touched, a powerful electric current rushed out along the wire and spread along the metal body.
Sparks popped and a strong electric shock came.
The two people leaning against the car body were hit first.
Their faces were stiff and their bodies were shaking.
Su Shengsheng endured the intense pain and struggled to hold on to the thin thread...
The world quickly turned dark before my eyes...
Bang bang...
The sound of electric shocks rang in my ears.
Su Shengsheng seemed to be floating in the air.
After being pulled again and again, she suddenly opened her eyes.
All I saw was a sea of white and some medical equipment.
She saw that "she" was lying on the hospital bed and was receiving first aid from medical staff.
She also saw her grandfather rushing in from outside the door and crying outside the operating room.
The electrocardiogram line was flattened and then folded up again and again.
Her hand passed through her grandfather's white hair, but it was as if there was an invisible air film between them.
Indoors and outdoors are like the world of yin and yang.
The pain in my body becomes clearer and clearer.
Is she coming back?
Su Shengsheng took a step forward, but was pulled back again.
It seemed like someone was calling her, shouting at the top of his lungs.
So persistent... calling her like crazy.
A whirlpool sucked her back in without any fault.
