Su Mengyan resisted the urge to flee and silently took two steps back: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. I dare not do that."
If she really admitted this, wouldn't her skin be peeled off?
Situ Yao was in a good mood and said lazily, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me? Do you know this farmer's son?"
"I don't know him." Su Mengyan shook her head very decisively.
This person doesn’t even have a name in the original book, so what does she know?
"Then why are you so concerned?" Situ Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression becoming a little more dangerous: "Do you... have any connection with him?"
It seems that I can't respond to this casually. If I say it and Situ Yao is unhappy, I might be finished today.
Su Mengyan took two steps back, looking at Situ Yao with a dry laugh, and said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I have always been by your side. How could I have the time to get to know the son of a farmer?
Thinking about it, Situ Yao's expression softened a bit, and he snorted softly, "Then why are you so concerned about this person?"
Su Mengyan couldn't say that she had read the script and knew that this person would have a hard time in the future, so she wanted to fight for him, right?
If she really told him, Situ Yao would most likely not let him come and would send him directly to see the King of Hell. She had good intentions and didn't want to cause trouble for others.
So after hesitating for a while, Su Mengyan said, "Actually, it's not that I'm attached to him."
"Oh?" Situ Yao raised his eyebrows.
"After all, it was this man who saved His Highness, so we should be grateful, so we'll do our best to help wherever we can." Su Mengyan lowered her eyebrows and tried her best to twist her words into a gesture of gratitude, saying softly, "Because I know this man will face a hardship soon. If we can help him escape this disaster, wouldn't that make us even?"
She absolutely must not let Situ Yao think that she has any affair with an outsider. She has realized that although Situ Yao is the main character of the book, he is not only competitive and moody, but also a bit of a yandere.
As long as he showed the slightest intention of leaving, Situ Yao would want to press his neck to push him back.
Now she is not only injured but also in this place. If she shows even a little bit of affection for others, she probably won't live until tomorrow morning.
"Your Highness, think about it. If these people knew your identity, they would definitely brag about it everywhere." Su Mengyan blinked her big eyes and carefully helped Situ Yao think about the future. "You are the crown prince, the one who will ascend to the throne in the future. How can we let such rumors spread among the people? So we have to prevent them from saying anything."
As soon as she said this, Su Mengyan felt that something seemed to be wrong with what she said, and her meaning seemed to be a little off track.
As expected, Situ Yao lazily leaned against the headboard, his expression somewhat lazy, and said nonchalantly, "Can't say anything? That's not easy to deal with. There's no need for such a troublesome method. I have plenty of ways to make someone shut up."
For example, murder and arson.
As long as this person can't speak again, won't he be safe?
Su Mengyan was shocked by her own thoughts and quickly shook her head and said, "Your Highness, they saved us after all. We can't use such a harsh method."
No, Situ Yao must change his habit of playing with people's lives at every turn.
If I ever meet Cui Mixue again, I must have a good talk with her. As soon as Su Mengyan had this thought, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What should she say to Cui Mixue? The two characters in the original novel were basically like this. When they met someone they didn't like or something they didn't like, they would kill them.
I guess if they weren't the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, they would have died countless times.
"What did I say?" Situ Yao looked at her with a half-smile, and asked with a hint of ridicule, "Do you think I meant to kill these two people? In your heart, is I such a person?"
What else?
Su Mengyan didn't dare to say this out loud, so she just laughed dryly and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I was thinking about whether I could keep them from knowing your identity and still feel grateful to you."
"If you really don't want them to know, then don't keep calling him Your Highness." Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he looked at Su Mengyan, he said with a hint of a smile, "Who knows when they might hear it. When that happens, do you think I should punish you?"
If not His Highness, what should I call him? Husband?
Is she trying to kill herself?
Situ Yao saw Su Mengyan's helplessness. Not only did he not try to help her, he even deliberately asked, "Why, if I tell you not to call me Your Highness, you won't call anyone?"
Sensing Situ Yao's deliberate actions, Su Mengyan subconsciously pursed her lips before changing the subject: "Your Highness, don't you want to know how I knew this family's child was in trouble?"
After Su Mengyan mentioned this, Situ Yao also remembered it.
He was so busy teasing Su Mengyan that he forgot about this matter.
Su Mengyan naturally didn't have the ability to predict the future, and the reason was...
Situ Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Did you dream about her again?"
It can only be because Su Mengyan dreamed of the late queen.
Knowing this would definitely attract Situ Yao's attention, Su Mengyan nodded repeatedly and said, "I had a dream the night Your Highness was injured. She told Your Highness to recuperate here and then go find Princess Yunfu after you've recovered. The lady also asked me to help this farmer. She said Your Highness had received a favor from the farmer and must repay the favor."
"Still calling me Your Highness?" Situ Yao raised his eyebrows, looking a little displeased.
Su Mengyan hesitated for a moment, then changed her tone and said, "I understand, Master."
Anyway, it’s not called anything else.
Fortunately, Situ Yao didn't intend for Su Mengyan to actually call out something shocking. Plus, he was preoccupied with other things, so he let her go and asked, "Besides that, what else did she say?"
Su Mengyan couldn't remember what happened next. Furthermore, the plot had been changed quite a bit compared to the original novel, so she couldn't remember anything. She could only bite the bullet and say, "It seems like they didn't say anything. They just told me to serve His Highness well and to let him recover from his injuries."
It is human nature to say so. Situ Yao was somewhat disappointed, but he pursed his lips slightly and said nothing more.
It was precisely because of this that Situ Yao was in a low mood afterwards and stopped teasing Su Mengyan.
