Chapter 170 It’s not a nightmare! It’s a handsome man

The smile on Su Yunyao's lips deepened. "This princess likes what you said. Tell this princess..."

Before she could finish her words, Xu Mubai tilted his head and fainted.

Su Yunyao: ...

"pearl!"

When Xu Mubai woke up again, he was already lying in the Bamboo Shadow Pavilion of the Princess's Mansion.

"Princess."

His face was as pale as paper. When he saw the man sitting next to him wiping his face with a handkerchief in his hand, his eyes trembled slightly.

"Princess, you can't do that. How can I be worthy of having you wipe my face personally?"

Su Yunyao did not respond. She took off the scarf on his head slowly and replaced it with a cool towel before speaking slowly.

"You were so badly injured, why didn't you tell me? If I hadn't gone to your place today, or if I hadn't discovered you were so badly injured, would you have wanted to die alone in that alley?"

Su Yunyao's tone was filled with resentment, and the hand she placed on his forehead became a little stronger.

"Princess, please don't, it hurts..."

Su Yunyao: ...

She quickly withdrew her hand, her expression becoming a little unnatural. "You...what are you talking about?"

Xu Mubai frowned slightly.

The next second, he seemed to realize something and his cheeks suddenly turned red.

Su Yunyao stood up and said, "Although your injuries are serious, the imperial physician has already treated you. You are fine for now. I have something else to do, so I will return to the palace."

"Princess." Xu Mubai was puzzled. "Aren't you living in the Princess's Mansion now?"

Su Yunyao paused, "My royal brother thinks I get up too late every day, which delays the construction of the prayer platform, so he asked me to move to the palace temporarily."

After a pause, she continued, "But don't worry, Lu Mingfeng still lives in the princess's mansion, so you won't be too lonely."

Xu Mubai: ...

Su Yunyao entered the palace in a carriage. She did not go directly to Linglong Pavilion, but went to Xuanzheng Hall.

When they arrived at the entrance of Xuan Zheng Hall, Wen Yi happened to come out of the hall.

He seemed to have not expected to see her here. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then knelt on one knee and saluted, "Your humble servant greets the Princess. May the Princess be blessed with good health."

"Get up."

Su Yunyao waved her hand calmly and saw that he didn't move.

She stopped in her tracks, a little curious, "Why are you still kneeling here?"

"Your humble servant..." Wen Yi paused, "Your humble servant will wait until the princess leaves before leaving."

Su Yunyao: ???

She looked at him again and walked towards Xuanzheng Hall.

Only after her figure disappeared outside the hall did Wen Yi slowly raise his head and look out the empty door.

"Royal brother."

Su Yunyao entered the Xuan Zheng Hall and walked straight to where the emperor was sitting.

"Royal sister?"

The younger brother was slightly startled, as if a little surprised. It was only a brief second before he quickly put down the red brush in his hand. The solemn expression on his face visibly eased a little. "How come you have time to come here at this hour?"

"Royal brother, I really can't stay in Linglong Pavilion any longer. I had a nightmare last night." Su Yunyao took out a handkerchief and held it in her hand, wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

emperor:……

He held his forehead helplessly, "Did your sister have a nightmare? Did you ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you?"

"The Emperor isn't a nightmare! He's a handsome man." Su Yunyao took a deep breath. "There are many handsome men, but none of them are the type I like."

emperor:……

At this moment, he had an illusion as to why he was here.

"Royal brother, you don't know. I finally found someone I liked, but when I caught him, his face suddenly changed into someone else's. He asked me with blood all over his face, 'Why don't you like me? Am I worse than him?' It's so scary!"

The emperor's eyes held a hint of doting. He patted Su Yunyao's shoulders twice and said in a comforting tone, "Is it too long since I've lived in the palace? Are you feeling unaccustomed to it? I'll have someone send two doses of tranquilizing soup to the palace later."

"Royal brother, do you understand what I am saying?" Su Yunyao stomped her feet helplessly.

"I understand, I understand." The emperor smiled and comforted, "I know that my sister is thinking about Lu Mingfeng. I will summon him to the palace to sleep with her later."

Su Yunyao: ...

Was she being too reserved?

The emperor didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words at all.

She wanted to tell the emperor that the prince from Dong Liao who came to marry was a fraud!

"By the way, my royal brother, what's the current situation regarding the marriage alliance with Dong Liao?"

Eastern Liao?

"Why did you suddenly think of this, sister?" The emperor looked up at her in surprise.

"Royal brother." Su Yunyao took a step towards him. "Just tell me, what happened in the end?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes. "My sister was unwilling to allow the Third Prince of Dong Liao to enter the palace, so I put the matter aside. What's the matter?"

Su Yunyao clenched her fists and punched the emperor's shoulders twice. "Royal brother, look, there are only a few people in your sister's harem. You can count them on one hand. Now Huo Xiao has been sent to Dongling Pass by you, so there is only Lu Mingfeng left. It is indeed too few."

The emperor smiled helplessly, "So, my sister has regretted her decision and wants to recruit all the handsome men in the world to enrich her harem?"

"I just feel that since the prince of Dong Liao has humbled himself to become my concubine, wouldn't you feel particularly proud when meeting with envoys from various countries in the future?"

The emperor thought about it thoughtfully and said, "It seems to make sense."

"So, there's no reason to refuse the man who was sent to us. Let's just settle this matter!" Su Yunyao said, winking at the emperor.

emperor:……

"Then I agree?"

"Yes!"

After Su Yunyao came out of Xuan Zheng Hall, she did not return to Linglong Pavilion, but went to the Queen's palace to sit for a while.

Seeing that she was pregnant and everything was fine, he stayed in Fengqi Palace for dinner before leaving.

Her sedan chair had just bypassed the palace wall of Fengqi Palace.

Concubine Shu came out from the other side.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Why bother getting angry with the Queen over such a trivial matter? You'll only end up hurting yourself."

The palace maid following her carefully persuaded her.

"Didn't the Queen say she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't see anyone? If I hadn't just seen Su Yunyao coming out of her palace, I would have almost believed it."

The palace maid shuddered in fear, "My Lady, even if you are angry, you cannot address the Princess by her name. If someone hears and the Emperor hears, it will be disastrous."

"Your Majesty?" Imperial Concubine Shu sneered. "What good would it do if it got to His Majesty's ears? I'm afraid that now, even if someone mentioned me in front of His Majesty, He wouldn't even be able to remember who I am."
