The more Su Mengyan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She simply took the pancake on the table and took two vicious bites as a way to vent her anger, while still cursing angrily.
"The eldest daughter of the Cui family is nothing but this. She only knows how to use these dirty tricks. No wonder she can't accomplish her mission."
"It's a pity that I was so blind and said I wanted to help. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have intervened. I should have just stayed by the prince's side."
Come to think of it, Situ Yao is still good to her.
Although he was sometimes scary and sometimes mentally ill, at least Situ Yao never thought of harming her from beginning to end.
"Now you know I'm fine?"
The moment the prince's voice came, Su Mengyan felt as if she was dreaming. She looked out in a daze and saw Situ Yao really standing there.
He stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his expression the same as always: "Don't you want to trade me for wealth and glory with another woman now?"
"Your Highness!" Su Mengyan had figured it out long ago. Even if serving the emperor was like living with a tiger, even if she wanted to use Situ Yao to exchange for her own wealth and glory, she couldn't let Situ Yao know. Otherwise, she would be locked up like she is now, and die a miserable death.
So now that she had the chance, Su Mengyan chose to say something nice: "Your Highness, I was ungrateful before, but now I know I was wrong. You can punish me however you want."
As soon as she said that, Su Mengyan regretted it.
It's less than two minutes. Can we withdraw?
Given Situ Yao's personality, nothing good will happen to him.
Sure enough, under Su Mengyan's gaze, Situ Yao said slowly, "Since you said you're willing to do anything, then follow me to the flower viewing banquet ahead. There's still a lot of excitement to see at today's flower viewing banquet. Isn't that what you love most?"
Su Mengyan didn't want to look at it. Su Mengyan wanted to say that she didn't want to look at it at all. She suddenly felt that the small house in front of her was pretty good and it was okay to be locked up in it.
But Su Mengyan could only say this in her heart.
She had just been released by Situ Yao, so unless she really wanted to die, she shouldn't have disobeyed Situ Yao's wishes. Therefore, Su Mengyan simply nodded obediently and whispered, "Your Highness, I will do as you say."
Situ Yao suddenly felt a little irritated.
What he wanted didn't seem to be Su Mengyan's current appearance, but he himself couldn't clearly explain what he wanted.
This feeling made Situ Yao particularly irritated.
"Let's go." Situ Yao frowned, waved his hand, turned around and walked away, snorting softly, "Go out and don't embarrass me. Otherwise, if you come back, it won't be as simple as being locked up in this room."
After a slight pause, Situ Yao curled his lips and said, "Especially, it's about Cui Mixue."
Su Mengyan nodded immediately.
I knew that something probably happened at the banquet, so they asked me to go and save the situation.
In the final analysis, it was all for Cui Mixue.
Realizing this, Su Mengyan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. After a long pause, she pursed her lips slightly, raised her eyes and smiled at Situ Yao, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness."
She was just a selected concubine and a servant in Situ Yao's eyes. Her only wish was to survive, and other things had nothing to do with her.
However, when the two returned to the flower viewing banquet, Cui Mixue was no longer there. Only Situ Zhao was left standing there, as if waiting for Situ Yao to return.
When their eyes met, Situ Zhao immediately raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Situ Yao with a smile, "Royal brother, you are finally back. Miss Cui just said she was not feeling well, so she left first. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"Feeling unwell?" Situ Yao didn't seem worried at all. He just had a smile on his face as he said thoughtfully, "I thought Miss Cui was in good health, but I didn't expect she was actually weak. She looks like this after just a few drinks. What should I do if I have to visit the palace often in the future?"
Situ Zhao raised an eyebrow, accurately grasping the key point from Situ Yao's words, and asked, "My Royal Highness, do you hope that Miss Cui will come to the palace more often?"
"I like her very much." Situ Yao didn't give a precise answer, but just said with a half-smile: "I also think she is... very pleasing to the eye."
Situ Zhao narrowed his eyes for a long moment before he chuckled softly, "That's true. Miss Cui is very pretty and has a very pleasant personality. Most importantly, she's both talented and beautiful, making her a perfect match."
If you know this, you will find that it is referring to a girl. If you don't know, you might think it is referring to an object.
Su Mengyan found it extremely unpleasant to hear, but since it was their two masters talking, she didn't dare to say anything more and could only try to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, even though she remained silent, Situ Zhao's gaze fell on her. He frowned slightly and said, "The one your Royal Brother brought out... is that Consort Su, whom I met last time, right? It's truly not easy for her to stay by your side for this long. The deaths of those two Consorts before her were truly pitiful."
"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. There will be no such thing as breaking the rules." Situ Yao had an indifferent expression, and it was unclear whether he was talking about the two concubines who died tragically, or Situ Zhao.
When their eyes met, both of them flashed with sharpness. However, Situ Yao was the first to retract his gaze in a good mood, and with a slight curl of his lips, he said, "He's just someone who's gone. What's the point of fussing about it? It's better not to bring it up at this time, or it will be embarrassing."
Shameful?
Thinking of the maid who came to see her today, Su Mengyan's mind moved slightly. She glanced at Situ Yao quietly, wondering whether she should tell Situ Yao about this matter.
"It's all because I didn't discipline my subordinates well. They'll take a bite of anyone's food and then come back to bite me." Situ Yao said nothing more, but took the initiative to bring up the topic. Glancing at Situ Zhao, he said softly, "But fortunately, I discovered it early and it didn't cause any consequences. If I hadn't paid attention later and caused some irreversible consequences, it would have been terrible, my royal brother, don't you think?"
Situ Zhao recognized that the disobedient dog Situ Yao had been referring to was the palace maid who had caused trouble the day the Third Princess got into trouble. Situ Zhao's gaze darkened for a moment, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty is right. If I had your methods, this wouldn't have happened."
It's hard to tell whether this is good or bad.
Situ Yao simply curled his lips slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "You are still young after all, so it is normal for you to handle some things inappropriately. But don't worry, I, your royal brother, will not despise you."
