Chapter 71: Just prepare for your marriage with peace of mind!
Su Zhiyi's palms were moist with excitement, and her lips were a little dry - Yu Shengsheng, this is just the first step. You think you can catch the prince's eye? I want to let the prince know what kind of person you are!
Su Zhiyi was confident that with what she had in her hands, as long as she gradually entered the prince's field of vision, sooner or later, the position of the crown princess would belong to her! She, Su Zhiyi, did not rely on the Su family, did not rely on anyone else, but on herself!
The prince stopped five steps away from Su Zhiyi.
She couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I, your servant..."
"Princess, please go back first. I still need to pray for my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress. I will go to your house another day."
Su Zhiyi was a little disappointed, but happy when she heard the last sentence.
"Then I will take my leave."
After she left, the smile on the prince's face instantly disappeared.
"Someone, ask Su Yanshu to go to the East Palace!"
…
Yu Shengsheng returned home and as soon as she entered the house, she asked Jin Baobao about what happened.
Jin Baobao did not hide anything and told everything.
Yu Shengsheng's face turned pale when he heard the last part: "You mean, the emperor is also there today?"
Jin Baobao nodded: "Yes, although I have never seen the emperor, but the commander-in-chief and the prince were both standing there, who else could it be except the emperor?"
Yu Shengsheng's heart was pounding. The emperor was there, the prince was there, and... did the emperor also know about what Kong Dezhao had done against Princess Duanyang for her?
Will Kong Dezhao take the opportunity to meet the emperor and ask for permission to marry?
If so, will Hao Mengye’s arrangement be in time?
Countless questions arose in Yu Shengsheng's mind, and each one made her feel uneasy.
Things were always changing, catching her off guard.
If a will is given, how should it be resolved?
Yu Shengsheng had no idea for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that Su Yanshu sent her to the gate of the mansion, but he didn't even get off the horse and just left. No one knew where he went.
Could it be related to this matter?
Su Yanshu rushed into the East Palace excitedly, his heart finally settled. He was worried that Kong Dezhao's attitude would change in the past two days, but today's incident was like a reassurance.
"Your Highness..."
Before he could finish his words, a teacup was thrown at him.
Su Yanshu didn't dodge, nor did he dare to dodge. The teacup hit his chest, and the lid flew out and brushed his forehead, causing two thin streams of blood to flow out immediately.
Su Yanshu didn't wipe the blood and just knelt down.
The prince looked at his blood, walked up to him, and the whites of his eyes were all red: "Su Yanshu, do you know that I have high hopes for you!"
"I know," Su Yanshu said firmly, "So, I have nothing to repay you with. I just want to do my best for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if it means death."
"Your Highness, you may not know that today in the back hills of Hongyuan Mountain, Kong Dezhao, for Shengsheng..."
"Of course I know. I saw it with my own eyes."
Su Yanshu was stunned. He saw it with his own eyes. So, the prince really went to the temple? Why didn't he know? He suddenly remembered what his classmates in the academy had said. It turned out to be true.
Could it be that the prince is already dissatisfied with him?
Su Yanshu was terrified and kowtowed, "Your Highness, I..."
The prince pinched his chin and stopped him from knocking: "Then do you know that Yu Shengsheng has someone in his heart?"
Su Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable when the prince suddenly pinched his chin. He didn't know what to do. When he heard his question, he was shocked and stunned.
"What? Your Highness, why do you say that?"
The prince withdrew his hand, his fingertips still stained with his blood. He lowered his eyes, his vision a little dazed, as if he saw a face that was somewhat similar to Su Yanshu, but stained with a bright red.
He wanted to wipe it, but it was impossible to wipe it clean. Blood kept gushing out. It was also the first time he knew that blood was so hot.
Human life is so fragile - so fragile that a word from his mother, a grain of poison, could kill the one he loved most in his heart.
"Your Highness?"
The prince came back to his senses and wiped the blood off his fingertips: "Qi Mubai is her childhood sweetheart and the one she loves in her heart. It is because of him that she is unwilling to marry Kong Dezhao."
Su Yanshu was surprised and asked anxiously, "But Kong Dezhao is against Shengsheng..."
The prince raised his hand to interrupt: "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated their horoscopes, and they are incompatible. It will affect the royal family and the country's destiny."
Su Yanshu's face turned pale and his heart sank rapidly.
"I'm afraid there's no hope for this matter," the prince pinched the blood on his fingertips, "We need to investigate why the Imperial Observatory said this out of the blue."
Su Yanshu raised his chin and said, "No, there is still hope for this matter, Your Highness."
…
Yu Shengsheng was feeling uneasy and was silently reciting the copied words over and over again when the voice of Su Yanshu's servant was heard in the courtyard.
"Miss Sheng, the Second Young Master invites you to the front hall."
What is meant to come will come.
Yu Shengsheng pressed the paper under the book, touched the sharp hairpin on it, and got up to go to the front hall.
She didn't bring Baobao or Nanny Zhou with her. She didn't know what the situation would be like, so it was better not to implicate them.
In the front hall.
The old lady sat in the middle, Su Huaishan sat on the left, and Su Yanshu sat on the right with a sullen face, making it look like a three-person trial.
Yu Shengsheng stepped forward and bowed.
Su Huaishan sneered, his eyes were unbearably cold and stern: "I heard that you made a big splash in the temple, and asked Prince Kong to kill Princess Duanyang's maid for you, and even broke her right hand and threw it at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion."
Yu Shengsheng was shocked. Is there something else going on?
The fear of Kong Dezhao deepened.
Su Yanshu walked up to her and said, "Shengsheng, are you hiding something from me?"
Yu Shengsheng's breathing was slightly choked. She forced herself to calm down, raised her head and looked at him: "No."
Su Yanshu looked at her for a long time without pointing out the truth.
On his way back, he had thought about it again and again. There would be no benefit in pointing this out. Instead, it would make Yu Shengsheng more defensive and more resistant.
It would be better to pretend not to know, keep a close eye on her secretly, and facilitate the matter with Kong Dezhao. This is the important thing.
He must accomplish this task and rebuild the prince's trust in him.
The old lady said, "Since you don't have one, then just stay in the mansion peacefully. It's your blessing that Master Kong treats you well. So prepare for your marriage."
Yu Shengsheng was anxious and couldn't help asking, "Has the emperor granted the marriage? If not, it's too early to talk about getting married."
Su Yanshu stared at Yu Shengsheng and said, "Whether there is an imperial decree or not, the result will be the same. Just prepare for your wedding, stay in the yard, and take good care of yourself. I will have someone make you some more nourishing and beauty soup, and I will make you the most beautiful bride."
Yu Shengsheng's heart was shocked and he pinched his palm hard.
It still doesn’t work. Is there no way to turn the situation around?
Baobao clearly said that he gave the painting to the Red Dragon Guard, and...
No, Yu Shengsheng observed Su Shuoshu's expression.
If things were really going well, there would be an imperial edict. If there was an imperial edict, the Su family would definitely not have this expression. She knew Su Yanshu. If things were going well, Su Yanshu would definitely be friendly, gentle and polite. He would ask her what she wanted and would get it for her one by one.
Unless... things are not going well, but the Su family has not given up and is still trying to make amends.
Yu Shengsheng thought about this and calmed down: "Can we ask Grandma Wu to come to my yard to serve? Now that the princess' birthday banquet is over, she should be free, right?"
Su Yanshu retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, when you get married, my second brother will definitely let her marry you. He will keep his word."
"But you also said before..."
Su Huaishan slammed the table and said, "Is this the end? You keep contradicting me for an old slave. Do you have any rules?"
At this moment, someone in the courtyard suddenly shouted, "Is Miss Yu here?"
Without waiting for an answer, the person came into the room.
He was wearing the guard uniform of the Prince of Nanshun's Palace and had the palace's guard sword slung at his waist.
After entering the room, he clasped his fists towards Yu Shengsheng and said, "Miss Yu, I am Kong Tu, and I am here to deliver something to you on the orders of my family's young master."
