The Crown Prince didn't give Cui Mixue the chance to stay another night. Su Mengyan was still comforting her when she sent her away, patting her shoulder and saying, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is letting you go because he's definitely worried about your reputation being damaged. You're going to marry the Crown Prince cleanly and honestly. If you don't pay attention, the Crown Prince will certainly pay attention for you."
These words put Cui Mixue in a very good mood. When she left, she did not forget to make an appointment with Su Mengyan to meet next time.
After solving a troubling problem, Su Mengyan's mood became better. When she was walking back happily, she ran into Situ Yao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, at the gate of the East Palace.
Seeing Situ Yao's expression, Su Mengyan's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously took a step back, wanting to leave with Cui Mixue.
"Su chooses the attendant."
Situ Yao didn't give her a chance and said indifferently, "Come to the Solitary Palace tonight."
After saying this, Situ Yao turned and left.
It has been a long time since she saw Situ Yao with such an expression. Su Mengyan felt that she sensed a strong murderous intent. She took a deep breath and thought about how she would be treated tonight. She suddenly felt that her life had ended here.
This was the first time she regretted not being able to stay at the Cui family longer.
"Concubine Su seems to be very afraid of me?"
Su Mengyan knocked on the door and entered Situ Yao's room on tiptoe. As soon as she entered, she heard Situ Yao say this indifferently. She shuddered all over and said with a wry smile, "I respect and fear you. It's because Your Highness is so outstanding that I dare not even look you in the eye."
The last time Situ Yao said he wanted to sleep with her, they both slept, one inside the room and the other outside. Everything was peaceful and nothing happened, so Su Mengyan prepared herself mentally before coming this time.
It's very likely that it will just be the same as before, just a pure chat. What is there for her to be afraid of?
She never expected that this time, Situ Yao's attitude would be different from before. Su Mengyan's heart sank subconsciously, but she still comforted herself that it might not be what she thought.
"Select Consort Su has always been good with her words. Now she's coaxing me into happiness, but wasn't she coaxing Cui Mixue the same way before?" Situ Yao's voice grew colder, and when he looked at Su Mengyan, his eyes grew even colder. "Didn't you tell Cui Mixue before that all you wanted was to leave the palace?"
He heard it all!
Su Mengyan's heart suddenly sank. Not knowing how much Situ Yao had heard, she could only whisper, "Your Highness, what I told Miss Cui was that after Your Highness becomes the Emperor and has an Empress, I want to leave the palace. By then, Your Highness will have everything. If I stay, I'm afraid the Empress will become suspicious. For the sake of harmony between Your Highness and the Empress, I have no choice but to leave."
While speaking, Su Mengyan lowered her head slightly, looking submissive.
Su Mengyan pondered, "Now that I've said this, Situ Yao should understand, right?" Even if she left the palace, it would at most be considered a successful retirement, not a betrayal of Situ Yao.
However, she didn't expect that what she thought was a perfect statement made Situ Yao's expression grow colder and colder.
"When did I ever tell you to leave? When did I ever tell you that you could leave if you wanted to? You told Cui Mixue once, so you told me as well?" Situ Yao's tone became increasingly fierce. He could barely contain his aloof and noble demeanor. He glared at Su Mengyan fiercely and said coldly, "When did I ever allow you to even think about leaving?"
His tone reminded Su Mengyan of the Crown Prince she had seen in the dilapidated temple before. She was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she took two timid steps back, her body almost pressed against the wall.
"I……"
Unable to utter a complete sentence, Su Mengyan looked at the person in front of her in horror, her voice even trembling a little: "Your Highness, I..."
"Su Xianshi." Situ Yao called her position word by word: "Have you forgotten that you are also a member of my harem?"
The moment her clothes were ripped apart, Su Mengyan's mind went blank. She even forgot to struggle and just stared blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with fear. Situ Yao now looked as if he had lost his mind, even... like a wild beast.
Situ Yao's hand stopped in an instant.
The moment I saw Su Mengyan's tears.
He stood there for a long time before he could clearly see the face of the person in front of him. It was not the bizarre face in his memory, but the real face of Su Mengyan.
"roll."
When Situ Yao spoke, Su Mengyan's mind was still a mess and she couldn't react at all.
"Get out of here!"
The second roar brought Su Mengyan back to her senses. Realizing that she could escape, Su Mengyan hugged her torn cloth and ran away. She had never run so fast in her life.
It was silent all around.
Su Mengyan accidentally extinguished the candle when she ran out. Now Situ Yao's bedroom was in darkness. Only a little moonlight seeped in, but it could not illuminate the silent and deserted palace.
It was unknown how long it had been before Situ Yao's usual voice was heard from the room.
"From today on, I order Consort Su to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. No one is allowed to see her without my permission."
"yes."
Su Mengyan lay on the table, leaving a small scratch on it. Today was already the seventh day. Ever since the last "bedroom" incident, she hadn't seen Situ Yao again, as she had wished. She had thought she was doomed, but Situ Yao didn't say anything and just grounded her. Compared to losing her life, not being able to leave the house was a small matter to Su Mengyan.
She was thinking about something else.
She and Cui Mixue had previously agreed to work together to conquer the prince. Now that Cui Mixue can't find anyone, she wonders how she will miss her.
"Selectwoman Su, it's time for dinner."
There was a sound outside the window, and Su Mengyan agreed with a disgusted tone, preparing to bring her food in. Although Situ Yao had confined her to her room, he generally did not treat her badly, and she had no shortage of food or other necessities. It was just that she was alone in this room, with no one to entertain her.
Although she was curious about where the plot was currently developing, she had no way of understanding it.
The person who delivered the food didn't say another word to Su Mengyan except these six words.
Today is the same as usual...
etc.
When Su Mengyan took the food basket, she clearly felt that the other person seemed to have a note in his hand. She immediately took it, smiled at the person who came, and said as usual, "Thank you."
As usual, the other party ignored her.
