Chapter 10 The Prince Consort's Prisoner (10)



Shen Jingyi said this, how could Su Liming not understand.

Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Shen Jingyi waving his hand and had to retreat.

After returning to the Su Mansion.

Su Liming came to his wife's room with a heavy heart, and looked at the maid next to Mrs. Su.

"You go down first."

Madam Su looked at her husband with a troubled expression, and thinking that she would be leaving the palace later than usual today, she couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Could it be that the new emperor had just taken office and my husband was demoted?

"Madam, please pack up and go to Cheng'an Temple tomorrow."

As Su Liming spoke, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but he couldn't open his mouth to finish the words.

"What are you going there for?"

"My husband, have you encountered any difficult problems?"

Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel suspicious when she saw her husband asking her to go up the mountain to pray to Buddha as soon as he came home.

Cheng'an Temple is no different from other temples, except that it is built on a mountain. The mountain road is difficult and can only be reached on foot.

It’s not that she was tired, but there were two or three temples in the city. If she really wanted to worship Buddha, there was no need to go far away.

"My husband got a promotion."

Mrs. Su looked at Su Liming, who was in a bad mood, and didn't congratulate him immediately. "My husband is not at ease, so..."

Thinking of the good reputation of Cheng'an Temple, Mrs. Su thought about it again and felt that if this was true, it would be understandable.

He naturally understood what Madam Su hadn't finished saying. He shook his head and took Madam Su's hand helplessly, "The Emperor wants me to adopt a daughter..."

After hesitating for a while, Su Liming told the truth.

Mrs. Su pulled her hand back suddenly, and the handkerchief in her hand fell lightly to the ground. Her eyes were fixed on Su Liming.

Why is it the adopted daughter?

Could it be...

"Don't worry, Madam. I promised you, and I will never break my promise."

Su Liming looked at the handkerchief dropped by his wife on the ground, then looked into her dazed eyes, and understood what she was thinking.

"Did the Emperor say anything else?"

After a brief silence, Mrs. Su did not make a fuss, but became even calmer.

She was just a girl raised in seclusion, and she really couldn't understand why the emperor would do such a shameful business.

"The emperor also wants us to include him in our Su family's genealogy."

Su Liming did not hide the fact that he had a wife.

He didn't want their relationship of so many years to disappear because of a few words.

To Su Liming's surprise, Mrs. Su did not get angry when she heard this. Instead, her expression relaxed and a look of joy appeared between her brows.

"You really scared me."

Madam Su said unhappily.

But Su Liming was confused. What was going on?

"Don't tell me you really want to take a concubine?"

Mrs. Su looked at Su Liming, who had not yet reacted, and spoke angrily.

After hearing this, Su Liming opened his eyes slightly and said, "Nonsense, how is this possible?"

As he spoke, he shook his wide sleeves.

"Are you pretending to be confused, or are you truly confused? Do you think the emperor went to so much trouble just to choose an adopted daughter for you?"

After hearing that she would be included in the family tree, Mrs. Su's anxious heart calmed down.

“Bang!”

"I'm really confused."

This wasn't about giving it to himself, it was clearly about arranging a reasonable identity for the other person. His brain really didn't react.

Su Liming slapped his forehead hard, and a large area of ​​his forehead turned red immediately.

Madam Su pulled Su Liming's hand in annoyance, and rubbed it with her other hand, "Just talk, why are you hitting yourself?"

Su Liming didn't say much, just kept smiling foolishly.

Shen Jingyi looked at the candle on the table that was almost burned out, and then looked at the sky outside.

"What time is it now?"

A man in black suddenly appeared in the previously empty hall. "Master, it's already the 10:00 p.m." (Modern time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)

"Is there anything unusual over there?"

Shen Yi: "After the master left, she went back to bed and slept. She only woke up an hour ago."

After getting the answer he wanted, Shen Jingyi didn't say much.

And Shen Yi disappeared into the night again.

"Come here, prepare your carriage."

Shen Jingyi rubbed his temples as he spoke, and when he thought of the pain relief bag lying in the bedroom, the corners of his mouth curved.

In a few days, he will be able to give the wild ghost a new identity. No matter why the wild ghost possesses the princess, he will not let her go.

His bedroom in the Yangxin Palace was not far away. Half an hour later, Shen Jingyi was standing at the door of the bedroom.

"Where is she?"

Shen Jingyi didn't expect that there was such a surprise waiting for him.

The person was missing in his bedroom, and these servants didn't even know it.

"Your Majesty, we servants really don't know."

Everyone in the hall knelt in unison. "After the Emperor left today, the girl...went back to sleep. After waking up an hour ago, she only had dinner and ordered the servants to prepare water. After taking a bath, she went back to bed."

The leading maid said fearfully, "We can guarantee that we have never seen her leave this palace."

The other palace maids and eunuchs also knelt on the ground. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the bedroom.

But at this moment, Shen Jingyi was like a living devil, with the quilt scattered all over the floor and no one on the bed.

"Tell me, she's sleeping?"

Shen Jingyi clenched his fists and said, "Come here, drag these people away and give them fifty strokes of the cane."

He didn't expect that the wild ghost would actually dare to run away, even though he had warned her before leaving.

Who gave her the courage to disobey him despite her status as a princess? Did she really think he wouldn't do anything to her?

The guards were divided into two teams.

One team was carrying out caning punishment with sticks, while the other team was looking for Ning Wan everywhere.

At this moment, Ning Wan was huddled in the corner of the bathtub, shivering.

Who knew the system would suddenly issue a task at this time?

About half an hour ago.

Ning Wan, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was suddenly woken up by Xiao Qi. Before Ning Wan could get angry, she heard another burst of electronic sound.

[Mission being issued: Make Shen Jingyi misunderstand that the host has escaped.]

[Task completion time limit: one hour.]

[Penalty for mission failure: 50 points deducted.]

[Special reminder: The host currently has only 50 points. If the mission fails, you will not be able to use the system mall. (Note: Credit is only available to new users for the first time.)]

He could have just taken back her golden finger, but he still gave himself a task.

[Host, hold on a little longer. We'll complete the mission in half an hour.]

Ning Wan felt the water gradually getting colder and just wanted to drag Xiao Qi out and beat him up: It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist.
