If she were a woman of low status who could win my favor, I wouldn't mind marrying her.

After saying that, he looked down at her with a smile.

It turned out that someone seemed to be daydreaming and wasn't really listening to him.

He pulled the person into his arms and tightened his grip.

Su Yan came to her senses.

Then, his eyes met Situ Xiu's.

His voice was faint.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Yan looked up and blinked.

"If the Emperor issues an edict forbidding you from marrying, does that mean you don't have to marry?"

She asked the question seriously.

When Su Yan said she wouldn't allow him to marry, she meant she wouldn't marry Ning Zhi.

Hearing this, Situ Xiu assumed that his little guard was worried that the emperor would object if he married her.

His eyes were burning.

Suddenly, Xiaohua's voice rang in my mind.

"Ding-dong, congratulations host, the second star has lit up."

Su Yan's eyes lit up.

Then she heard Situ Xiu whisper in her ear

"That depends on whether my future queen is worth my anger."

Su Yan was taken aback.

look up

"You defy the imperial edict?"

Su Yan clenched her hand, which was wrapped up like a small steamed bun.

Well, she's leaving tonight.

Once they seized the throne, they issued an edict to bring the person to the palace.

Su Yan thought to herself.

Situ Xiu felt that the young guards were not very enthusiastic tonight.

He kept getting distracted.

I wonder what that blockhead could possibly come up with.

So, before letting Su Yan go.

Situ Xiu pinned her against the door and kissed her for a long time.

Only then was she allowed to leave.

late at night.

Su Yan tidied up and prepared.

After looking around carefully, I realized there didn't seem to be anything I absolutely needed to bring.

Except for a dagger.

And that purse.

She originally planned to leave that night.

However, there were many shadow guards around.

Afraid of being discovered.

If they were discovered before even entering the palace, it would be a huge loss.

So, we waited for the morning sunlight to stream into the house.

The sky began to brighten.

She was dressed as a guard and walked out through the main gate openly and honestly.

Waiting to go out.

Su Yan walked around the city for a long time.

Finally, we arrived at the outskirts of the palace.

I didn't go in immediately.

Instead, he wandered around outside the palace, looking at everything.

By the time she finished wandering around, it was already noon.

So they found a noodle shop and sat down to eat.

Xiaohua was puzzled.

"Host, aren't you going in?"

"Wait until tonight"

"profound"

"Then why don't you come out at night?"

Su Yan was stumped by Xiao Hua's question.

In the end, he didn't answer, but just lowered his head and continued eating his soup noodles.

While eating, Su Yan suddenly heard a sound behind her.

"Miss Song?"

Su Yan took a bite of the soup dumpling and looked up.

Then they saw a man dressed as a scholar, wearing a well-embroidered robe.

He had a smiling, refined demeanor.

Su Yan blinked.

"Do we know each other?"

At first glance, it looks somewhat familiar.

The scholar spoke

"Miss Song, this is Zhao Mu."

The person who gave you steamed buns that day.

Su Yan suddenly realized

“It’s you.”

Zhao Mu nodded.

"Miss Song, have you found your way home?"

He asked aloud.

Su Yan nodded

"Yes, found it."

Zhao Mu nodded

"That's good."

As he spoke, Zhao Mu recalled the day he saw Su Yan being kidnapped from afar.

His expression tensed up.

"Miss Song, has that prince treated you well?"

Su Yan shook her head

"No."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said

“I regret not standing up to save you that day, Miss Song. Please accept my bow.”
