Su Mengyan looked a bit panicked, and said terrifiedly, "I shouldn't have inquired about your whereabouts. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was just too worried for a moment."
It was clearly a statement of loyalty, but for some reason Situ Yao's expression turned a bit colder. After a while, he snorted coldly and said in a calm voice, "Get up."
The two of them went back to the imperial mausoleum. Situ Yao looked calm, and even though Su Mengyan was anxious, she could only follow behind him.
She thought that Situ Yao's next step should be to return to the imperial mausoleum, then pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, quietly taking control of the imperial mausoleum in his own hands, and then deal with the matter of the marriage.
The jade pendant in her hand was like a time bomb; she might be dead at any moment.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she felt, and Su Mengyan let out a long sigh.
"Why, are you reluctant to stay with me?"
She just sighed softly, but she didn't expect Situ Yao to hear it.
"I was just thinking that I would be the only one accompanying Your Highness along the way, but I'm useless and can't protect you, so I sighed." Su Mengyan was glad that she reacted quickly.
Anyway, it seemed from the previous few times that Situ Yao really appreciated these compliments.
"You are a concubine, and if I ask you to protect me, doesn't that make me seem useless?" Situ Yao looked at her with a smile, his voice carrying a different meaning as he spoke in a long voice, "I need you for other purposes."
Su Mengyan felt that her chastity was in jeopardy. She coughed lightly and silently took a half step back.
As if he was very satisfied with Su Mengyan's reaction, Situ Yao raised the corners of his lips and said in a calm voice after a while: "It's okay. If there is any danger, I will definitely protect you."
This sounds like it has some deep meaning...
Fortunately, there were no problems on the way, and the two returned to the imperial tomb smoothly.
Situ Yao had already washed off his makeup when he was on the road. Even now, even though he was dressed as a guard, he looked very imposing.
When the eunuch guarding the mausoleum saw Situ Yao, he was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost. He had an expression as if he had seen a ghost at first, and after a few seconds he opened his mouth to call for help.
Su Mengyan quickly went up and pinned the young eunuch to the ground, her handkerchief balled up to block his cries. Then she looked at Situ Yao as if offering a treasure and said, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do with this man?"
Situ Yao came back under the cover of night, probably because he didn't want to alarm the people around him. Su Mengyan didn't dare to ask too much, so she could only do what she could.
His eyes indifferently swept over the place where Su Mengyan and the young eunuch had touched. Situ Yao's expression turned colder, and after a while he said, "Kill him."
The young eunuch's face turned pale.
Su Mengyan's face turned even paler. She looked at the person in front of her, trembling and not daring to speak for a long time.
After a long while, she spoke with a hoarse voice and asked tentatively, "Your Highness..."
Seeing that Su Mengyan's hand was still on the little eunuch's face, Situ Yao frowned slightly, pulled Su Mengyan to his side, raised and lowered the dagger, and directly killed the little eunuch in front of him.
Su Mengyan's legs were a little weak and she couldn't even stand. Half of her body was leaning on Situ Yao.
Situ Yao was pleased by her dependence on him. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at Su Mengyan and said, "Why, are you scared? If you are scared, then be good. As long as you stay by my side honestly, I won't do anything to you."
