Su Mengyan was thinking about the plot of the original novel, imagining all the things Cui Mixue might do to her, when the guard outside gave the answer: "Go see His Highness."
When His Highness left, he gave instructions that Su Mengyan should be taken away immediately as soon as she woke up. This has already delayed her for four or five days, and I think His Highness must be getting anxious.
He asked the doctor, and although Su Mengyan's body has not fully recovered yet, as long as she is careful on the road, there will be no problem.
Su Mengyan was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about the consequences of leaving behind, she immediately nodded and stood up, saying, "Please wait a moment, big brother. I'll pack up and go with you. Did His Highness say where he's going? Is there anything you need me to prepare?"
Su Mengyan thought to herself that instead of staying and being killed by Cui Mixue, it would be better to run to her close friend first, which would be more or less safer. No matter how much Situ Yao disliked her, the two of them were now a life-and-death friendship.
Even if Situ Yao didn't want this matter to be known by outsiders, he wouldn't just kill her to keep her mouth shut, right?
When Su Mengyan heard that they were going to look for Situ Yao, she felt more at ease. She smiled at her elder brother and said seriously, "I don't seem to have much left with me. All my things were given to me by His Highness. Why don't we just leave like this?"
Su Mengyan was thinking about leaving Cui Mixue as soon as possible. After all, the situation in front of her was too scary. If Cui Mixue knew that Situ Yao came to pick her up, would she still be able to survive?
Unexpectedly, the words she said casually fell into Situ Yao's ears after she returned. Of course, this is a story for later.
"Miss Su, don't you need to say goodbye to Miss Cui?" The guard was considerate. He had heard that the two had a good relationship recently, and now he naturally felt that they should meet and say goodbye properly. "It's not a big deal."
Su Mengyan immediately shook her head violently.
Others don't mind this little while, but she does, she's super bad.
She didn't want to tell Cui Mixue about her departure. She wanted to leave quietly, preferably without anyone noticing. Even if Cui Mixue knew, it would be best if she left and she couldn't find her to settle the score.
Otherwise, she felt that Cui Mixue would eat her alive.
"I think Miss Cui and Consort Su have a good relationship." The guard saw Su Mengyan's face turn pale for a moment, thinking he had said something wrong. He touched the tip of his nose, trying to comfort Su Mengyan, "Don't worry, Consort Su. If you don't want to say hello, don't say hello. We can talk about it after we meet His Highness."
This is a threat, a naked threat.
Su Mengyan wanted to cry but had no tears. How could she not say hello to Cui Mixue? She laughed dryly and said, "Hello, I'll go tell Cui Mixue right away."
She was too abrupt and didn't think it through carefully. Cui Mixue was Situ Yao's lover. If she ran away like this, Situ Yao would definitely come after her.
Isn't it good for her to live a good life? Why does she have to hurt herself like this?
Obviously, the people arranged by Situ Yao were not trustworthy to Cui Mixue, and they did not tell Cui Mixue about this at all.
Cui Mixue was so stunned when she heard that Su Mengyan was leaving that she couldn't control her expression and put on a look of surprise. She asked, "Why are you leaving so suddenly? Can't you stay here for a while longer? Yanyan, I haven't had a proper talk with you yet."
Su Mengyan smiled stiffly at Cui Mixue, thinking, how could she not know what Cui Mixue meant? She simply regarded her as a competitor and wanted to keep her around to feel more at ease.
"I don't know what's going on, but from what His Highness said, it seems that he let me go because of Princess Yunfu." Su Mengyan lied with her eyes open, without a trace of guilt. She said calmly, "You know, Princess Yunfu is young and doesn't have many maids around her. Besides, she's still in the mountains. She must be feeling bored. From what His Highness said, it seems that he wants me to stay in the temple to accompany Princess Yunfu."
A hint of joy flashed in Cui Mixue's eyes.
However, because she was in front of Su Mengyan, Cui Mixue restrained herself a little and just frowned and asked, "But you are His Highness's chosen concubine, how can you stay to accompany Princess Yunfu?"
"What's the point of choosing a concubine?" Su Mengyan waved her hand, self-aware. She forced a smile and said, "We're just a group of servants to His Highness. Don't we have to obey His Highness in everything we do and who we follow? The title of a concubine sounds nice, but look at the concubines in His Highness's palace. How many of them ended up well?"
While speaking, Su Mengyan deliberately glanced around and said to Cui Mixue carefully, "Miss Cui, you won't tell His Highness this, will you?"
Of course Cui Mixue wouldn't.
Not to mention telling His Highness, Cui Mixue didn't even have the chance to meet Situ Yao.
However, Su Mengyan's words did make Cui Mixue relax a little. She forced a smile at her and said, "You're right. We are good sisters. Why would I tell His Highness? Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."
Su Mengyan didn't expect to keep it a secret. It was already very difficult for her to walk out of the Cui family alive today.
Thinking of the maid who had intended to attack her in the East Palace, Su Mengyan felt a chill on her back and did not dare to respond to Cui Mixue, her "good sister".
After she had said everything she needed to say and greeted everyone she needed to say, Su Mengyan followed the guards and left.
Cui Mixue's vigilance was obviously much less than before. Now she just smiled at Su Mengyan and said, "Yanyan, be careful on your way. If you have any troubles, please tell me. I will definitely help you wherever I can."
"Thank you." Su Mengyan forced a smile. Now she just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Only after everyone left the Cui family and got on the carriage did Su Mengyan breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing her expression, Chun He asked tentatively, "My lady, don't you like Miss Cui?"
These days, Miss Cui seemed to be very dedicated. She would ask people to come and ask about Su Mengyan's condition every day, and the best medicinal materials were also sent to Su Mengyan. She thought that the relationship between the two was very good.
But looking at Su Mengyan's reaction when she woke up, it didn't seem to be the case?
Su Mengyan was extremely tired, but she had no intention of discussing Cui Mixue in front of the guards. She simply patted Chunhe's shoulder and said helplessly, "There's no such thing as liking or disliking. Don't talk nonsense, little girl. These things are very complicated. Don't ask such childish questions again in the future."
