Su Yan nodded

"good"

So he decided to put the matter of taking the purse aside for now.

Following behind Akahoshi, they walked towards the hall.

When Su Yan arrived.

Then they saw Wang Lin kneeling at the entrance of the hall.

With his head bowed, he kowtowed repeatedly.

It looks like they made a mistake.

Su Yan discovered that he didn't have a purse on him.

I had a vague premonition.

Follow Akahoshi up the steps.

Red Star's voice was icy as he reported.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought."

"Come in"

The two words were slowly uttered.

Su Yan went inside.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, the door behind her was closed by Akahoshi.

The lingering fragrance of ambergris burns in the incense burner.

This made Situ Xiu, who was sitting in the first seat, look much gentler.

However, it was just a fleeting illusion.

Su Yan saw her purse and the string of jade prayer beads on the table.

Blink a few times, and it wilted in the blink of an eye.

Little Flower whispered

"Host, keep going, you are the empress."

Hearing this, Su Yan straightened her back slightly.

Situ Xiu's sinister voice rang out.

"Aren't you coming over?"

Su Yan

"yes"

He responded and walked over.

He leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat nonchalant.

With a thud, he slammed the prayer beads in his hand onto the table.

His voice slowly rose.

"Guard Song has quite the nerve."

Su Yan lowered her head, her voice soft.

"Your subordinate was wrong."

Situ Xiu's eyelids were lowered, and his thin, cool lips chuckled softly.

"An apology is all it takes?"

He stood up as he spoke.

He took a step toward Su Yan.

He grabbed her arm, twisted his wrist, and pinned her against the edge of the table.

The two were standing extremely close, their relationship incredibly intimate.

He lowered his head, and his gaze fell upon her delicate skin with ease.

He whispered softly in Su Yan's ear.

"I asked you for two pieces of candy, and you felt so bad about it."

You're quite generous to other people, though.

Su Yan lowered her head and let him talk.

whisper

"I did not do it on purpose."

"Not intentional? Could it be that he stole this purse?"

Su Yan lowered her head

No, not exactly.

"You deliberately gave away the Buddhist prayer beads I gave you to someone else, could it be...?"

Situ Xiu seemed to be thinking of something.

The gloomy atmosphere seemed to grow even heavier.

The smile on his face only grew wider.

"What do you think of that guard, Guard Song?"

He suddenly changed his mind.

Su Yan blinked.

"It's alright."

He grabbed Su Yan's arm and held her tightly.

He stared intently at Su Yan, uttering each word carefully.

"Could it be that Guard Song has taken a fancy to that guard?"

It was as if he would tear her arm off if she gave a single reply.

Su Yan shook her head

"No."

Su Yan reacted quickly this time.

Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

He asked slowly

Why is Guard Song going back this afternoon?

Su Yan blinked.

"I want to go back."

"profound?"

He looked at Su Yan, a smile playing on his lips.

"A purse for your lover?"

As he spoke, he gripped his purse with one hand, as if he wanted to crush it.

She opened her mouth

"I... I didn't mean that."

Situ Xiu chuckled softly.

"Is Guard Song trying to say that he doesn't have a lover?"

No lover?

Su Yan looked at him; she did.

It seems her lover doesn't really like her and is angry.

To avoid him misunderstanding, she nodded.

"Mmm"

Su Yan nodded, but hesitated for a long time.
