[Susu, I have a super luxurious four-horse carriage! Can you give me a chance?]
The system immediately came out to show its presence and tried to seek Bai Shu's forgiveness.
"Why would I need such a large carriage? To sleep in it? How many streets can I navigate without any problems?"
Bai Shu just wanted to compete, but she found that the Regent's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. So she decided to just be a comfortable salted fish in the circle of noble ladies in the capital...
[So what does Susu want? Give me a chance~]
The system found that Bai Shu was a little hard to fool. In the past, she could be coaxed and healed, but now she has been angry for more than a cup of tea! This is very bad!
"You need to strengthen the physique of this body of mine. Otherwise, there's a white lotus, Su Yunxi, waiting at home. You don't want me to be at a disadvantage, do you?"
Bai Shu looked confident of victory and negotiated terms with the system.
In fact, she had once traveled through time and space to become a medical sage, and with her medical skills, she could also regulate her body, but she couldn't wait and wanted to have a better physique immediately, at least to be able to hold her breath longer...
[Susu, you're not deliberately getting angry so that I can help you improve your physique, are you?]
The system felt that it had been deceived, but it had no evidence.
[According to the plot, when we return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yunxi will pretend to fall into the water and frame me. If you help me strengthen my physique, I can complete the mission successfully.]
Bai Shu continued to coax this mindless system.
[Then Susu should just avoid her. Our mission is to play badly! Lie flat on your back!]
The system tried hard to help Bai Shu sort out her thoughts.
[I managed to dodge it this time, but what about next time? What should I do if you disappear again?]
Bai Shu pretended to be angry, she knew that this move would be a fatal blow to the system!
[Okay then, I'll just improve my physique!]
【Yeah, you are still my good son! 】
Bai Shu instantly felt a sense of relaxation in her body, and then she became full of energy and no longer felt weak.
[Hey, Susu is also a good host to me! I might need to take a break.]
As the system spoke, its voice gradually weakened. Any operation outside of the plot would consume its energy, and it needed time to recover.
[Okay, you can sleep a little longer. I won’t disturb you.]
Bai Shu felt that the system's energy consumption was getting faster and faster.
For it in the past, such a small thing as strengthening its physical fitness would hardly consume much energy, let alone the need for rest.
It seems that she will have to rely more on herself in the future...
"Miss, we've arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. The Regent's carriage seems to be following us. Should we wait?"
Youlan didn't know that the Regent was going to visit the Prime Minister in the mansion, so she wanted to ask her own lady.
"Well, today is my father's birthday, and the prince said he would come to visit."
Bai Shu was the first to get off the carriage and took the initiative to step forward to greet Xiao Moqing.
"My daughter will go to the front hall with the prince."
Bai Shu watched Xiao Moqing slowly walk down from the luxurious carriage, feeling very envious.
[With such a luxurious carriage, you wouldn't come to visit without a gift, would you? No way, no way?]
Seeing that Xiao Moqing had nothing in his hands and had no sense of giving gifts, Bai Shu couldn't help but complain in her heart.
She was mainly upset about his carriage!
“…”
"Chengfeng, bring me this newly acquired painting, 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.'"
Xiao Moqing stood tall outside the purple-gold carriage, and his casual order was accompanied by a hint of gritted teeth.
"Your Highness, this painting is today—"
Cheng Feng looked at Xiao Moqing's handsome back in disbelief.
The prince asked someone to buy this painting from a collector of calligraphy and painting. Is he going to give it away before he has the chance to appreciate it carefully?
"Come up after you get it."
Xiao Moqing interrupted Chengfeng.
[That's pretty good. Seeing Chengfeng's painful expression, this picture should be quite valuable, right?]
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chengfeng no longer hesitated and immediately turned around and got on the carriage to get the map.
[Indeed, you are worthy of being the Regent's most loyal subordinate. It's a pity that your end was so tragic that not even a complete body was found. However, since I am here, I will reluctantly save your life!]
Bai Shu then recalled Cheng Feng's ending. Du Wenqing wanted to kill the Regent, so he naturally had to start with his right-hand man.
Chengfeng was loyal to his master and was killed. His body was fed to wild dogs, and Xiao Moqing never found his body until his death.
"?"
Xiao Moqing was shocked when he heard this. With the incident of the attack on Tianxiang Restaurant, he had to reconsider Bai Shu's feelings.
Chengfeng was taught by him personally, and his martial arts skills are definitely among the top ten in Dongye. Who can tear him into pieces?
And she once said that she came to save Dong Ye. What does this mean?
It seems that this unmarried woman in front of him is still full of mysteries and is confusing...
"Chengfeng is my personal bodyguard. If Miss Bai needs anything in the future, you can look for him."
Xiao Moqing said this to Bai Shu for some unknown reason. He wanted to lead the topic to Chengfeng.
But he had to admit that the mischievous Bai Shu had inadvertently entered his sight.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You're spreading the word that he's your personal bodyguard. Are you worried that Du Wenqing won't know who to start with?"
"Besides, what can I ask you for? Romance? You don't look like a man who likes women!"
Bai Shu didn't understand why Xiao Moqing was suddenly so warm to her. If it were an ordinary person, it might be okay, but he was the dreaded Regent!
Would he protect her just because of a meal? Even if he did, she wasn't that easy to deal with!
“…”
Xiao Moqing found that his mood seemed to be easily affected by Bai Shu. He took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist, placed them in his palm, and gently moved them.
At the same time, he was thinking about what was so special about Du Wenqing that Bai Shu mentioned, which made Bai Shu wary of him and at the same time belittle him...
[The ruthless Regent King actually wears Buddhist beads? They must be very valuable!]
[I wonder if I can get my incredibly wealthy mother to get me one too? But this color is too old-fashioned. Red looks better and suits my stunningly beautiful temperament! Haha!]
“…”
"Miss Bai, please lead the way."
Xiao Moqing silently put his hands, which were stroking the Buddhist beads, behind his back. If he hadn't experienced many ups and downs and had a broad mind, he would probably have been so angry that he laughed at Bai Shu...
"Your Majesty, please—"
[Chengfeng, please give me that Jiangshantu map. Please don't damage it!]
Bai Shu glanced at Chengfeng, bowed and raised her hand to signal Xiao Moqing to lead the way.
"Chengfeng, take 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' carefully, and let's go visit the Prime Minister."
Xiao Moqing emphasized the importance of holding it carefully, which made Chengfeng a little confused.
"I will take it carefully!"
Anyway, you will never go wrong if you listen to your master!
"Miss, Du Wenqing is here, and he seems to be angry."
Youlan watched from afar as a group of familiar figures rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hurriedly whispered to Bai Shu,
He is now the lady's favorite, so he cannot be neglected...
