"Come in."
Situ Yao's voice was a little dull.
As soon as Su Mengyan stepped in, a group of guards started whispering beside her.
"Su Xianshi is really amazing. She dared to go in even though His Highness was in such a state."
"That's right. If it were us, we would have to come out lying down."
"What do you know? Consort Su was able to enter because she has a good relationship with the young lady from the Cui family. The eldest daughter of the Cui family is truly favored by His Highness. Last time, they chatted for over an hour before coming out of the study, and His Highness personally escorted her to the palace gate. How can you compare?"
"Is this true?"
After hearing this gossip, everyone present gathered around.
In the study, Su Mengyan held her breath, looked at Situ Yao cautiously, and said timidly, "Your Highness, do you want to drink now?"
As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need.
I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will stop doubting himself.
On the night when it was heard that Concubine Liu had passed away, something happened in Concubine Wen's bedroom. Concubine Wen fainted and did not wake up for the whole day.
Situ Yao raised his eyes to look at her, his expression full of coldness: "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me? You have been following me all this time, what is your purpose?"
This character is exactly the same as what is described in the book.
Although he looks strong and gloomy, he is actually sensitive and suspicious. Any slight disturbance will make Situ Yao suspicious.
Of course, he is also very indifferent to life and death.
A life like hers might be nothing in Situ Yao's eyes. When Su Mengyan thought of this, she felt a chill on her back and quickly expressed her loyalty, "I...I just want to..."
Feeling Situ Yao's eyes wandering over her, Su Mengyan felt a chill on her back. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, I really just want to live well."
Situ Yao raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
"There are so many concubines in the harem. I don't want to serve those masters. I follow you, firstly, I want to survive, and secondly, I want to think better." As Su Mengyan spoke, she knelt down slowly in front of Situ Yao, without feeling guilty at all.
Only by clinging to the protagonist's thigh can you become rich and powerful!
After Situ Yao ascended the throne, he would find a way to slip away and keep a little white face. Wouldn't he be happy? If he stayed in the palace, he might lose his life one day.
"Oh?" Situ Yao sneered, looked her over and asked, "How can you be sure that I will let you live?"
"If Your Highness doesn't let me live, then that's my fate. I accept it."
Just when the atmosphere gradually quieted down and Su Mengyan felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, Situ Yao spoke.
"Give it to me."
Su Mengyan was stunned.
"Didn't you bring the chilled lotus seeds? Are you waiting for them to cool down before giving them to me?"
Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, then started hiccuping out of nervousness.
"What are you afraid of?" Situ Yao was holding the porcelain bowl, and he looked no different from usual, but Su Mengyan didn't know why she had the illusion that she had survived a disaster.
"Can I still eat you?"
"I dare not lie to Your Highness. When I said those words just now, I was afraid that I would end up like Concubine Meng and Concubine Liu..."
Situ Yao chuckled, and after looking her over, he said, "You're... quite interesting. That's all. As long as you stay by my side peacefully and don't have any inappropriate thoughts, I won't do anything to you. When Yunfu comes back in a few days, you can leave the East Palace. When you have nothing to do, go and talk to Yunfu. It will be considered as helping me."
Consort Liu is no longer useful, he has a better candidate.
"Yes," Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, but then she remembered something and took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, Miss Cui has helped you a lot before. She came to the palace specially this time. It seems that she really misses Your Highness."
"Hmm?" Situ Yao paused for a moment, frowning as he looked at Su Mengyan with a slightly displeased expression: "When did you become so close to her?"
No way.
Su Mengyan silently took a step back and immediately shook her head to distance herself from the matter, saying, "No, no, I only care about the people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about."
Situ Yao's expression finally looked better.
Su Mengyan cursed Situ Yao for being childish in her heart, lowered her head, frowned and said nothing.
"Shouldn't I give her something as a reward, so that other ignorant people can also know that she is someone I care about..." Situ Yao turned his eyes to look at Su Mengyan and asked with a smile, "What do you think I should give her?"
"How about... a jade pendant?"
If it were something else, Su Mengyan wouldn't have been so rude, but now that the tool to develop their relationship was in her hands, Su Mengyan always felt a little guilty.
"Oh? Where is the jade pendant I gave you now?"
Situ Yao casually pulled out the hairpin that tied his hair, and his black hair fell down without being restrained, making his already fair and jade-like face even more seductive.
"Here, here..."
Su Mengyan quietly took a step back while handing over the jade pendant with both hands, and kept a certain distance from Situ Yao.
