"What does this have to do with Yan'er's escape?" Situ Yao looked at her with a smile, waiting for her to make up something else.
"I always thought Miss Cui would be the Crown Princess. I was afraid she would use her status to harm me in the future, so I left a way out." After Su Mengyan finished speaking, Situ Yao was so angry that he laughed, "Did you overestimate yourself, or underestimate the guards of the Eastern Palace?"
"Do you think you can evade the guards and escape successfully by then?" Situ Yao questioned her with a dark face. "Also, how did you know that I wanted Cui Mixue to become the Crown Princess?"
Su Mengyan shrank back in fear, "They all said that." She didn't dare to say that it was a foregone conclusion, so she pushed the blame onto the gossipers in the East Palace.
"They?" Situ Yao paused slightly, "Who dares to spread rumors behind my back?"
"Your Highness, please calm down." Su Mengyan said quickly, "Miss Cui is your savior. Her family background can be considered well-matched, and she has always lived in the Eastern Palace. You can't blame them for having such thoughts."
"Speaking of life-saving grace, I remember Yan'er has saved me many times. In that case, the Crown Princess could be you. As for family background, you and I both lost our parents and have no father or mother. It can be said that we are a perfect match." In Situ Yao's eyes, the foolish emperor was no longer his father.
Su Mengyan was frightened by his words. She reached out to cover his mouth and hurriedly shook her head, saying, "Your Highness, you can't say that."
"Oh?" Situ Yao did not take her hand away. His warm breath sprayed on her palm, making it hot. When Su Mengyan wanted to take her hand away, she found that it was already held by another pair of big hands.
Situ Yao leaned closer to her and said, "Why are you so stupid?" His voice was low and pleasant.
After a moment, Su Mengyan felt warm lips covering hers. She was so shocked that her eyes were wide open and her body was stiff.
Situ Yao's kiss broke away immediately. He put Su Mengyan's raised hand back to its original place, "Do you understand now? Don't always think about running away. There will be no one else in the Prince's Mansion, and I don't need to rely on anyone's family background."
His words were very domineering, but Su Mengyan was so immersed in the kiss that she didn't react at all. When she looked up, she asked, ruining the atmosphere, "What about Miss Cui?"
Situ Yao's face darkened again, and he hit her on the head lightly, "Use your head to think about it." Then he walked out.
Su Mengyan sat alone in the room, and belatedly thought, was Situ Yao confessing his feelings to her just now? Yes, they had already had intimate contact, and yet he still said something like that, it shouldn't be her self-indulgent behavior.
Her mind was in a mess, and she subconsciously touched the corner of her lips, where the warmth of another person still remained. Su Mengyan couldn't help but laugh. Situ Yao really liked her.
She broke into the world of the book, changed the original plot, and also changed the hero's emotional line. Su Mengyan didn't know if this was right. The only thing she knew clearly was that when Situ Yao kissed her just now, she clearly heard her own heartbeat, and she was uncontrollably moved.
Su Mengyan felt a bit guilty, thinking she had interfered with the relationship between the male protagonist and Cui Mixue. However, Situ Yao in this world didn't have any romantic feelings for the female protagonist, so she couldn't really be considered the third party, right? No one could answer her question, so she could only bite her lip and wonder.
However, her actions were much faster than her brain. Before Su Mengyan could come up with a definite answer, she had already taken out the things in the bag one by one and put them in their proper places according to categories.
Since that night, they still get along as before, but Su Mengyan feels something is different. For example, now, Situ Yao is talking about Concubine Bai's birthday party, but suddenly he holds her hand.
She had been daydreaming, and Situ Yao's actions successfully brought her thoughts back from that distant place.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Situ Yao asked in a low voice.
He is handsome and has a nice voice. He is worthy of being the male protagonist in the novel who is sought after by many female readers. Su Mengyan was distracted again.
Situ Yao was helpless and pinched her face, "Come back to your senses, do you remember what I just said to you?"
"What did His Highness say?" Su Mengyan was very confused.
"I want to." Situ Yao dropped the word coldly, without any of the gentleness he had before.
Su Mengyan hadn't listened carefully just now and couldn't remember it at all. She asked tentatively, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and run away secretly again?"
Situ Yao felt that she hadn't listened to him at all after all he had said. It was fine if he wasn't angry, but she even brought up the idea of running away. He was once again amused by her, "You can give it a try."
Although his tone was stern, there was a doting smile in his eyes.
Su Mengyan was now completely able to accept this kind of relationship, and even a little bit spoiled. "I didn't hear what Your Highness said. Can you say it again?"
"In a few days, Noble Concubine Bai's birthday banquet will be held. She went to great lengths to ask our father to hold this banquet for her. She definitely won't just celebrate her birthday this simply." Situ Yao frowned and said, "The people in Luanfeng Palace are guarding her too tightly. I don't know what she's going to do yet. You must be extra careful then."
Su Mengyan thought that Concubine Bai did have her own agenda, but since Yunfu was keeping it a secret, she had no other choice. She could only ask indirectly, "Your Highness mentioned earlier that he wanted to find a husband for the princess. Has anything happened with that?"
"Yunfu's personality makes her unwilling to let me influence her marriage." Situ Yao finally understood, and Su Mengyan was very happy. "That's the way it should be. The princess will definitely be happy when she knows."
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Situ Yao was very perceptive and immediately noticed something was wrong. "Did Yunfu tell you something?"
Su Mengyan quickly shook her head and smiled awkwardly, "It just suddenly occurred to me that I shouldn't force the princess to do something she doesn't like."
"Weren't you always thinking about bringing me and Cui Mixue together?" Situ Yao exposed the secret without hesitation. "Did you hate me so much before?"
Su Mengyan quickly shook her head, "That's not to say I don't know."
With such a person standing in front of her, Su Mengyan couldn't help but be moved. However, she had a preconceived notion that the person Situ Yao liked must be Cui Mixue, and she shouldn't interfere with their relationship.
Who knew things would turn out like this? Cui Mixue gave up her thoughts on Situ Yao, and there wasn't even a spark between the two of them.
Situ Yao ruffled her hair and snorted coldly, "Do you know now that what you did before was wrong?"
