Chapter 361: A Changing Situation

"Miss Su likes Prince Chu?" Nan Jiao asked, wondering why the other party appeared in her mind.

"I like it very much. I felt it was inappropriate for Your Highness to invite Princess Jin alone, so I came here on my own initiative. I don't want Your Highness to be criticized."

Su Qiluo frankly stated the purpose of her coming here.

Nan Jiao smiled and said, "I appreciate Miss Su's honesty. I am very happy that you can come. After all, I also want to avoid suspicion and don't want to have any bad scandals with Crown Prince Chu."

Su Qiluo glanced at the East Palace and said, "Let's go in."

"Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Crown Prince of Chu?" Nan Jiao stared at the woman. She was just the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was quite courageous. It seemed that she admired Rong Yan very much.

Otherwise, I would never do such an out-of-line thing.

"Rather than being blamed by him, I don't want him to be impeached by the ministers at the morning court tomorrow." There was a gentle smile on Su Qiluo's snow-white face.

"It seems that you love him very much. I love my husband and my children. You don't have to treat me as a love rival." Nan Jiao said frankly.

Su Qiluo, "..."

Nan Jiao said, "I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble or intrigue. I came to Chu to get my prize, the Bodhi root, and I will leave after I get it."

"Princess Jin is very special. No wonder His Highness likes you." Su Qiluo didn't expect her to say it so bluntly, which really surprised her.

"I don't want him to like me at all. It will only cause me trouble." Nan Jiao said and walked towards the gate of the East Palace.

Su Qiluo looked at the woman's straight back, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't jealous.

What she disdains is what she desires but cannot obtain.

…

Qinghua Palace.

Murong Yan was wearing a dark black robe with a black belt embroidered with golden auspicious clouds around his waist. His long hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his angular face exuded a majestic aura without even being angry.

He sat in the main seat, his dark eyes fixed on the entrance to the hall.

He is waiting for her.

Sudden.

Chifeng walked in quickly and reported, "Your Highness, the Princess of Jin is here, as well as... Miss Su, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"What did you say?" Murong Yan narrowed his eyes, and his originally gentle face suddenly turned cold.

"Miss Su came here with Princess Jin." Chifeng said in a low voice.

"Go get some more bowls and chopsticks." Murong Yan said coldly.

"Yes." Chiffon ran outside quickly.

A moment.

After Chifeng came back and put away the dishes, Nan Jiao and Su Qiluo walked into the hall together.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Su Qiluo bowed and saluted, her face calm and composed, without a trace of nervousness or uneasiness.

"Why did you come to the East Palace?" Murong Yan turned the jade ring on his thumb, his cold eyes seemed to be covered by ice and snow.

"I invited Miss Su here." Nan Jiao said with a smile.

Su Qiluo: “…”

Murong Yan pursed his lips and asked, "When did you two get to know each other?"

"Today, I hit it off with Miss Su, so I asked her to come with me." Nan Jiao said slowly with a smile in her eyes. Fortunately, Su Qiluo came.

Otherwise, there would be only her and him in the hall.

I don’t know what will be spread tomorrow, and Zhan Beiheng might be jealous then.

"Please sit down and the meal will be served." Murong Yan said to Chifeng at the door with a sharp look in his eyes.

Chifeng met his eyes and trembled slightly, "Yes."

After saying this, he turned around and hurried to the kitchen.

"Your Highness, when will you give me the Bodhi root?" Nan Jiao went straight to the point. She came to the State of Chu, not to reminisce with him.

I just want to get the Bodhi root and leave quickly.

Murong Yan looked at her smiling face. For more than four years, he had never forgotten her. Now that he finally saw her true face, he planned everything to get her to come to Chu.

He didn't intend to let her leave immediately.

"I promised to give you the Bodhi root, and I will definitely give it to you. Princess Jin, don't worry." Murong Yan played with the wine glass in her hand. She was still very courageous.

How dare you come to the State of Chu alone.

Zhan Beiheng didn't stop it?

"I'm anxious!" Nan Jiao said coldly, with a sharp chill in her beautiful eyes. Was he planning to continue teasing her with the Bodhi root?

She doesn't have time to play any games with him.

"There's no point in being anxious. The Bodhi roots are not yet mature. They can only be picked in a few days. If you pick them forcefully now, the medicinal effects will be greatly reduced." Murong Yan said in a clear voice.

Nan Jiao: “…”

She has a dirty word, but she doesn't know whether she should say it or not!

In that case, why didn't you tell her earlier?

Su Qiluo smiled at Nan Jiao and said, "Princess Jin, this should be your first time in Chu. Why don't you let me accompany you to visit the capital of Chu for a few days?"

Nan Jiao suppressed her anger. No matter how she glared at Murong Yan, he remained calm and composed, indicating that if she wanted to get the Bodhi root, she had to listen to him.

"Excuse me Miss Su."

"It's no trouble. It's my honor to accompany Princess Jin on a tour." Su Qiluo breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed. She could feel the murderous aura flashing from her.

Nan Jiao smiled and said nothing more.

There is really nothing you can do when you run into a rogue.

In the past, when she shamelessly provoked Zhan Beiheng, did he feel the same as she does now?

What a sin!

Is this how fortune changes?

What is Zhan Beiheng doing now?

Next.

Nan Jiao concentrated on eating, looking unwilling to pay attention to anyone, while thinking about what to do next.

Nanlan and Nanzi should not have arrived in the capital of Chu State yet.

Otherwise they would surely come to her.

Murong Yan glanced at Nan Jiao from time to time. Seeing that she was concentrating on eating, the corners of her mouth raised silently. He knew that she was angry.

But he was satisfied to be able to see her up close like this.

Su Qiluo looked up at the man sitting in the main seat. When she saw the tenderness in his eyes, she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her left hand on her lap.

There were sharp pains in my chest and my eyes felt a little sore.

In fact, she had already guessed that he had someone in his heart, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she still felt very uncomfortable. He was usually cold and unkind.

This was the first time she saw him look at a woman like that.

Su Qiluo withdrew her gaze. The food in her mouth felt like chewing wax and she felt very uncomfortable. However, she still did not want to give up.

Perhaps she will never wait for Murong Yan to look at her with tender eyes.

She still did not regret loving him with all her heart.

After Nan Jiao had eaten and drunk her fill, she stood up and said, "Prince, I will live in the Wutong Courtyard you arranged for me. Come back to me when you can pick the Bodhi roots."

"If you are free tomorrow, I can take you to see the Bodhi tree." Murong Yan's voice was low and mellow like wine, and he looked at her tenderly and dotingly.

"I'm free." Nan Jiao certainly wouldn't refuse.

She had to go check on the Bodhi tree to see if he was lying to her!

If you dare to lie to her.

She blew up his East Palace.

"I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow." Murong Yan didn't expect her to agree. He thought she was angry and would not be willing to go with him.

Nan Jiao looked at Su Qiluo who was sitting at the opposite table and said with a smile, "Take Miss Su with you."

Su Qiluo suddenly raised her head and looked at Murong Yan. Her clear eyes were sparkling like pearls. She twisted her handkerchief in her hands, not sure whether he would agree or not.
