Situ Yao's eyes flashed, and he said with a half-smile: "Selectwoman Su, you are the first one who dared to let me help you get out of the carriage."
"Your Highness, you are so considerate of me. I am very grateful." Su Mengyan flattered him with all her might. She didn't know what went wrong in her head, and she helped Situ Yao down.
Don’t you want to live?
"Forget it, I won't bother with you."
Today, Situ Yao heard what he wanted to hear, so he was in a very good mood. He did not bother with Su Mengyan about these trivial matters. He just walked inside and said, "Remember to tell me later who gave you such courage."
Su Mengyan's heart sank. What had she done?
Cautiously following Situ Yao into the wing, Su Mengyan approached him fearfully, wondering what she had done. Was it her attitude towards Cui Mixue today that failed to satisfy Situ Yao? She asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what did I do wrong?"
Why do you say such things as soon as we meet?
The person in front of him raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of smile on his face, "You did something wrong, don't you know it?"
"I am a foolish servant. Your Highness, please give me some clear instructions." Su Mengyan didn't dare to stand still and quickly knelt down in front of Situ Yao. However, because of her big movements, the wound on her back hurt, making her face even paler.
I didn’t dare to get up.
"Please take a seat." Situ Yao's eyebrows twitched slightly. After seeing Su Mengyan sit down, he looked her up and down, and nodded with a smile on his lips, "She is quite stupid."
Su Mengyan didn't feel at ease after sitting down. Instead, her heart was trembling. Situ Yao's gentleness was too abnormal. It was as if he was trying to kill her. Her legs were so weak with fear that she shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Highness..."
Seeing her make such an expression, Situ Yao didn't feel disgusted at all, but found it very interesting instead.
Situ Yao raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked calmly, "Who allowed you to stand in front of me? Don't you think I can't escape, that I need your protection?"
She is just a concubine, yet she is so bold.
How dare you... make him worry.
"Your Highness has misunderstood!" Su Mengyan had read the original text and knew how conceited Situ Yao was. Now her mind was frantically turning over excuses to exonerate herself: "I just... just..."
She was just a nobody. Who knew Situ Yao would bring this up?
"You make it up." Situ Yao looked at her with a half-smile, as if he saw through everything: "I want to see how you make it up."
Su Mengyan finally understood that Situ Yao was just trying to tease her.
She lowered her head with a look of grievance, looking pitiful, and said in a soft voice: "I just didn't want Your Highness to get hurt. I didn't think about anything at the time and just rushed over."
She really didn't think about anything at that time.
Situ Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that he was deliberately looking for trouble today: "Oh? If you thought I could dodge it, you would pounce on me?"
"I will, I will." Su Mengyan nodded repeatedly, words of flattery flowing freely. Her eyes sparkled with joy and admiration as she looked at Situ Yao. "It's all an instinctive reaction. Your Highness is as bright as the moon in the sky. Even having blood splashed on His Highness is a blasphemy."
It was clearly not like this just now. This little guy actually has two faces.
Although he knew that what she said was just flattery, Situ Yao was still flattered. He raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Slippery tongue."
Seeing this, Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was not because of Cui Mixue's matter that she was being made difficult.
Seeing that Situ Yao was in a good mood, Su Mengyan simply intensified her flattery and said, "Your Highness, please understand. What I said is all true."
"Heh." Situ Yao didn't say anything. He just looked her up and down and asked, "Are your injuries healed?"
He hadn't noticed just now that Su Mengyan's face looked a little pale from the long journey.
Su Mengyan had just woken up today and had already been tossed around. She felt the pain in her back was agonizing. However, facing the culprit who had tormented her, Su Mengyan didn't dare to say anything. She just nodded and said, "I'm almost healed."
Situ Yao looked at her and asked, "Really?"
Seeing Su Mengyan nod guiltily, he walked to Su Mengyan as if nothing had happened and pressed gently on her wound.
Su Mengyan suddenly jumped up.
His face turned pale with pain and his voice trembled as he uttered, "Your Highness?!"
Unexpectedly, she would react so strongly. Situ Yao was slightly taken aback before he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what you meant by almost done?"
This might be the proverbial "shooting oneself in the foot," but who could have imagined this bastard would actually press it? It must have hurt like hell.
Su Mengyan's eyes rolled around, and she said awkwardly, "Well, well... as soon as I saw His Highness, I even forgot the pain."
"Oh? Then you shouldn't feel any pain when I touch you." Situ Yao pretended to go over and press her wound.
"It doesn't hurt." Su Mengyan saw him approaching, and she simply closed her eyes, steeling her heart and preparing herself for the pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, just touch me again."
"stupid."
The hand that was expected to fall on the wound fell on her forehead instead.
After Su Mengyan was tapped on the forehead by someone with a curved finger, she heard Situ Yao say, "Go and rest. I'll take you to see Yun Fu after dinner."
Su Mengyan felt as if she had been pardoned.
"yes."
Finally, I was able to move away from Situ Yao.
After leaving Situ Yao's room, Su Mengyan felt that she was covered in sweat. Her legs were so weak that she could hardly walk. She had to support Chunhe all the way back.
Chun He didn't feel anything, but just felt that Situ Yao's smile was a little... scary.
"My dear, what happened to His Highness just now? Why are you so afraid of His Highness?"
How could she not be afraid? When she came out, Cui Mixue looked at her with resentment. Who knew if Cui Mixue had complained to Situ Yao? If a pigeon had been sent to her, based on Situ Yao's temper during this period in the original text, he might have skinned her alive.
But she couldn't tell Chunhe this.
She shook her head and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just remember that you must never offend His Highness in the future."
Chunhe took note of it.
As soon as Su Mengyan left, Situ Yao's expression turned cold. He called the guards outside and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation outside?"
They had been in the mountains for several days now, but there had been no response. Furthermore, the assassins sent by the Bai family had been useless, so Concubine Bai must have been getting anxious.
As expected, the guard bowed and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Concubine Bai... is making trouble again."
As expected.
Thinking of Su Mengyan's pale face today and her injured appearance earlier, Situ Yao's eyes gradually grew colder. He played with the jade pendant on the table for a long while before he spoke slowly, "Let her make trouble. It's not time to close the net yet."
When the time comes to close the net, he will make Concubine Bai pay for everything she has done.
