Situ Yao looked at her deeply, a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes. "You've done very well. I want to reward you. What do you want?"
Su Mengyan thought about it and felt that this was a good time to express her feelings.
She must establish an image in front of Situ Yao as a loyal person who only wants peace and wealth and does not want to sleep with her master.
She knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, I have no great ambitions. I only hope that one day Your Highness will ascend to the throne and reward me with land, gold and silver, so that I can live a peaceful and prosperous life."
Situ Yao was slightly stunned and stared at her for a long time. Seeing that her eyes were clear and sincere without a trace of affection, he was finally sure that this girl had no other feelings for him.
But for some reason, when Situ Yao thought of this answer, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But he didn't show it, and just said calmly: "If this is your request, I will definitely fulfill it."
Su Mengyan was delighted, but before she could thank him, she heard Situ Yao say, "But, what are you going to do about your brother?"
Su Mengyan was stunned. What a bullshit brother! She had long forgotten about him.
Seeing her expression, Situ Yao said in a playful tone, "I heard that you and your sister both lost your parents and depended on each other for survival. You even entered the palace for him, just to save money for him to marry a wife. Don't you want him to have an official position and bring honor to the family?"
Unfortunately, the original Su Mengyan was killed by her brother.
Su Mengyan quickly refused: "No need, big brother is already an adult, has hands and feet, and can support himself. I have experienced life and death many times, and I have already understood one thing."
"What's the reason?"
“If you want a person to grow, you have to leave him with nothing to rely on.”
Situ Yao was stunned and looked at her in surprise.
Su Mengyan continued to explain: "When my parents were alive, they doted on him so much that even when he grew up, he couldn't live independently. In the end, they even sold me into the palace. But for someone like him, no matter how much money you give him, he will just squander it in the end. As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. This is the only way for him to move on."
Situ Yao spoke after a long while: "You see things clearly. Well, I will agree to your request. Go out, I need to rest."
Su Mengyan stepped out and breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, the men in black finally sneaked into the temple.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late."
Situ Yao waved his hand: "What's the situation in the palace now?"
This sudden assassination was too crude, full of loopholes. Situ Yao still hadn't figured out why Concubine Bai attacked him. Something must have happened in the palace.
The man in black said, "The third princess threatened to commit suicide and resolutely refused to marry. The emperor was furious and had her imprisoned."
