Chapter 53: No More Broken Appointments

Huo Xingzhi said, "She wants me to marry Zhang Nanyi, the daughter of the Minister of Works, and has arranged for me and her to meet at Fengluan Palace."

"I drank a glass of wine and then realized something was wrong with my body. I injured the guards and eunuchs who were blocking my way, and that's why I came to you."

After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Su Yuheng.

Su Yuheng frowned slightly.

It’s Zhang Nanyi again.

Zhang Nanyi is already pregnant now, so logically speaking, the pregnancy should not be too early.

Could it be that you want to find a father for the baby in your belly?

But then again, although Zhang Nanyi and the queen are related, the queen would not do such a despicable thing.

Unless, the Queen doesn't know that Zhang Nanyi is pregnant?

Su Yuheng laughed and said, "So it's to help His Highness find a marriage partner."

"Jealous?" Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Su Yuheng: "I'm not jealous."

She stood up from the chair and wanted to put the medicine box away, but Huo Xingzhi reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"On the birthday of my royal grandfather, I will ask him to grant us a marriage."

"No." Su Yuheng refused.

"Why? You don't want to?"

"No." Su Yuheng explained.

"If you let the Emperor grant me the marriage, how can I pretend in front of Su Yanqiu? Everything will be in vain then."

Hearing this, Huo Xingzhi felt as if a needle was pricking his heart.

He suddenly stood up from the chair, reached out and pinched Su Yuheng's chin, pushed her against the wall, making her unable to move.

"You're not really attracted to Su Yanqiu, are you?"

"You can understand that the conspiracy between him and the King of Qi concerns your Shen family."

"The slaughter of the men in your Shen family was most likely caused by your good brother."

After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, his deep gaze fell quietly on the girl's face.

He didn't allow her to be attracted to anyone, let alone covet her.

Su Yuheng leaned against the cold wall, his whole body stiff.

Is the Shen family's affairs really related to Su Yanqiu?

"How do you know that Su Yanqiu was related to the massacre of the men in the Shen family?"

"Huo Xingzhi, do you know anything else?"

Huo Xingzhi lowered her chin, and thinking about what she had just said about Su Yanqiu, jealousy rose in her heart.

He didn't want her to act, didn't want her to be affectionate towards another man, even if it was just an act.

He leaned over and whispered something close to her ear, his voice filled with resentment.

"Want me to tell you? Then take the initiative and let me see your sincerity."

The man opened his lips and gently bit her red earlobe, kissing it little by little.

Su Yuheng got goosebumps all over her body and she reached out to climb onto his shoulders.

Huo Xingzhi picked the person up from the ground and carried him to the bed.

After laying her down on the bed, Huo Xingzhi reached out and held her waist, then leaned over and kissed her.

"Bai Ze heard the conversation between Su Yanqiu and the King of Qi. The implication was that the massacre of the male members of the Shen family was somehow related to you, my good brother."

"I know you want to find out the whereabouts of Shen Tingzhou in this Su family. But you can't be tempted by Su Yanqiu, not at all."

Su Yuheng's whole body was stiff on the bed. She had suspected the King of Qi, but she had never suspected Su Yanqiu.

"I'm not attracted to him, ever."

Huo Xingzhi stared at her with his dark eyes and kissed her little by little with his thin lips.

"It better not be, or I'll kill him out of jealousy."

He kissed her eyebrows and continued: "I will help you continue to search for the whereabouts of Chen Tingzhou."

"Huo Xingzhi." Su Yuheng reached out and grabbed him.

"A year ago, was that man at the White Horse Temple you?"

"Why are you at the White Horse Temple by chance?"

Huo Xingzhi paused for a moment, staring at the girl's red eyes, and reached out to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He remembered clearly what the girl looked like under him a year ago.

"Why did you disappear again? I waited for you all night. Do you know how much I hate you?"

The man leaned over and kissed her eyebrows, his voice extremely hoarse.

"sorry."

"That day, I knew the plan of Prince Qi and Lady Liu in advance, so I went to the White Horse Temple to take you away, but I didn't know you were under the influence of an aphrodisiac."

"That day, the Qi army invaded the border, and the military situation at the border was urgent and there was no time to delay. I quickly detoxified you and then went to the border."

"Before leaving, I asked Chaoyang to take you back to the Su family."

Su Yuheng raised his head and his eyes fell on the man's well-defined face.

"So, Chaoyang already knew about our relationship?"

Huo Xingzhi took a deep breath and whispered, "She doesn't know that you and I have had physical contact."

"I'm at the frontier, thinking about coming back every day, but I don't know how to face you after delaying you for a year."

He asked word by word: "Do you blame me or hate me?"

Su Yuheng pursed her lips and said, "Hate."

If he hadn't left without saying goodbye, how could she have mistaken that man for the King of Qi in her previous life.

Finally, she was married to the King of Qi, and was tortured by the King of Qi and Liu Jinshu, and died miserably.

Inside the compartment, the atmosphere froze instantly.

Huo Xingzhi stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the red corners of the girl's eyes.

He leaned over, his thin lips touching her eyebrows, his voice hoarse.

"sorry."

Su Yuheng said: "I'll wait for you at the White Horse Temple in three days."

"We can't break our promise again."

Huo Xingzhi stood up, curled his lips, and looked at her quietly.

"I won't break my promise. I will keep my word at the White Horse Temple a year ago."

Looking at the figure disappearing into the night, Su Yuheng's eyes were red.

After Huo Xingzhi left, Linglong came in from the side room and knelt on one knee in front of Su Yuheng.

"Miss, please give your orders to your subordinates."

Su Yuheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Linglong, and said, "Three days later, have Master Yun go to the White Horse Temple."

Linglong cupped her fists and said, "Yes, Miss. I will go and inform Master Yun right away."

…

For three consecutive days, Su Yuheng sneaked into Qingfeng Courtyard to see Su Yanqiu and said hypocritical love words to him.

During these three days, Qinghe came to have sex with Su Yanqiu every night.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that Nanny Gui from Liu's side came to Fangfeiyuan to urge them.

"Fourth Miss, it's almost time to set off."

Su Yuheng took out an antidote pill from the medicine box and swallowed it. After changing his clothes, he turned and looked at Bai Zhi.

She whispered to Bai Zhi, "When the prince wakes up later, be sure to tell him that we went to the White Horse Temple."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Yes, Miss, I understand."

After Su Yuheng arranged everything, he took Bai Lu out of the house.

Two extremely expensive carriages were parked in front of the mansion.

After Su Yuheng was led by Nanny Gui onto a carriage, she saw Liu Yunli, dressed in green, sitting inside with a folding fan in his hand.

"Cousin Heng'er."

Su Yuheng did not go in, but looked at the other carriage.

"Madam Gui, where are mother and cousin?"

Nanny Gui looked at Su Yuheng with a smile on her face: "The young lady and the mistress are in the other carriage. Madam said that the fourth young lady and the cousin should take this one. The other one is full."

It can be seen that Liu is determined to let her get along with Liu Yunli.

In that case, don't blame her for being rude.

"Miss Four, please."

Su Yuheng took a deep breath and slowly got into the carriage, but saw that Liu Yunli's eyes were always on him.

"Cousin, do you dislike me so much?"

"No." Su Yuheng smiled and looked at Liu Yunli.

"Cousin, you may not know this, but when I was studying medicine with my master, I also learned a little bit of physiognomy from a white-haired old man in the countryside."

"Oh? My cousin also knows physiognomy?" Liu Yunli sneered.

Su Yuheng said calmly, "Yes, I've learned a little. Heng'er observed my cousin's face today and found that his forehead was a little dark, which suggests a bloody disaster."
