Chapter 148 I can go home now
"And Princess Rongqing, doesn't the Emperor care about that either?"
"Rongqing?" The emperor trembled even more violently, his face as pale as paper. "Have you seen Rongqing?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Rongqing suffered horrific abuse in the northwest and fought desperately to escape, hoping that Great Chu would accept her back." Su Cheng pursed her lips, a flicker of pity in her eyes. "Your Majesty, hiding in the palace and feeling sorry for yourself, have you ever considered how desperately your children, who truly love and respect you, are desperate?"
A layer of fine sweat seeped out of the emperor's forehead. In the moonlight, he saw the girl's face. He stood up silently, walked towards the inner hall, reached under the quilt, slowly took out something, and handed it to Su Cheng.
"Ci'er is better than his father. He has someone by his side who is truly willing to risk her life for him. That's enough." The emperor lowered his eyes, looking at the half-broken token in his palm, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, your name is... Su Cheng?"
"Yes." Su Cheng lowered his head, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"I ask you to take this item out of the palace and give it to the Grand Commandant Shangguan Qingyun. Only Lord Zhang knows my current situation, but the Zhang family is under countless eyes. Even if Lord Zhang wants to help, he is powerless. I have no choice but to order him to take over the government and check and balance Huo Beiting's people in the court."
"If you personally deliver this token to Shangguan Qingyun, he will understand that I am in danger and will do his utmost to help me. Send him a message and set up an ambush. Before Huo Beiting rebels, you must control the Zhou, Zheng, Lin, and Sheng families and completely cut off Huo Beiting's retreat."
The emperor was afraid that she would not remember, so he patiently slowed down his tone and asked, "Did you hear clearly?"
Su Cheng straightened her expression, memorized his words word for word, and whispered, "I will obey your command and will never let your majesty down."
"Good girl." The emperor lowered his eyes to look at her, as if looking through her to see another person. "Ci'er has great trust in you, and Rongqing has kept no secrets from you. This shows that you are a girl of affection, loyalty, and talent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted you with such a big matter. The fact that you were able to find me proves that you are extraordinary. I am willing to trust you."
"Leave here quickly and don't alert the enemy."
"yes."
Taking advantage of the night, everyone rushed to the burning Zhongcui Palace. Su Cheng took Cai Lian and trotted back to the side hall prepared for them by Concubine Zhe.
"Miss..." Even as she sat on the broken wooden bed, Cai Lian's heart was still beating fast, "Does the master of the house know that you did these things?"
"Does it matter whether he knows or not?" Su Cheng glanced at her sideways and said softly, "He and I both work for the Emperor, but our methods are different. If this succeeds, not only myself, but even the Zhao family will rise to heights they dare not imagine."
Cai Lian didn't understand the twists and turns here, and hesitated to speak, "Is the young lady in danger of her life?"
Su Cheng paused, and looked at her with a little more gentleness in his eyes, "Is this the only thing you're worried about?"
Seeing Cai Lian nod solemnly, Su Cheng smiled and patted her shoulder gently.
Unlike Qingshuang, who is meticulous, cold and slow to warm up, Cailian is carefree, sometimes sloppy and sometimes reckless, but she is sincere and never beats around the bush.
If Cai Lian says that she likes you, then she must be sincere.
"Silly girl." Su Cheng pinched her round face and said softly, "Who would willingly risk their life for someone who has nothing to do with them? I made the choice today to pave the way for my future."
"No matter what the process is, the result is the same. This kingdom will only belong to Prince Ruyang."
Cai Lian was puzzled and scratched her head and asked, "Why are you so sure, Miss?"
Su Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes determined, "Because Prince Ruyang has the most powerful people working for him."
Xie Suzhou's IQ is so terrifying, just like Zhuge Liang in the world, with every possible plan in mind. As long as he is determined to assist King Ruyang, what in this world can't Yan Ci get?
In the original book, Xie Ming unexpectedly became a member of the Qinwang Army. With a hatred in his heart but nowhere to vent, he turned all his resentment and anger into motivation, and was invincible on the battlefield. He almost reached Cheng County where Yan Ci was hiding, and nearly wiped out the Black Tiger Army.
But as soon as Xie Suzhou opened his mouth, Xie Lao Si obediently threw down his spear, betrayed the king, followed his brother, recognized his master again, and turned the tide, driving the king's troops back to the border town.
"Who is the most powerful person?" Cai Lian tilted her head and asked in a low voice.
Su Cheng smiled without saying a word and sat side by side with her until dawn.
-
As soon as the sky was getting light, the door of the side hall was pushed open.
Su Cheng closed his eyes and rested for a while. When he heard some noise, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Aunt Gui standing at the door with a dark face and not saying a word.
If you look closely, you can see that a small part of the corner of Aunt Gui's clothes is missing.
"Aunt Gui?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, feigning shock. "Why is your face so black and white?"
Hearing this, Nanny Gui raised her hand and wiped her face fiercely with her sleeve. She looked at Su Cheng with annoyance in her eyes, "Last night, there was a fire in Zhongcui Palace. With such a big commotion, Miss Zhao was still able to sleep peacefully. It's really a bad thing."
"There's a fire in Zhongcui Palace?" Su Cheng covered her mouth, her eyes filled with surprise. "When did it happen? Oh, is Concubine Zhe okay?"
"Hmph!" Nanny Gui sneered and was too lazy to look at her again.
Last night was really strange. The fire was so fierce that we couldn't put it out. A whole group of people were busy fighting until dawn.
Empress Zhe was extremely frightened and has not woken up yet.
Nanny Gui glared at Su Cheng secretly, and she only hated why the fire did not spread to the side hall. She might as well burn this troublemaker to death!
"Miss Zhao, you can go home now." Nanny Gui made way for her, almost expressing her dislike for her directly. "Something happened in the palace, so we can't keep you here. I hope you can be more careful with your words and actions, and understand what you are not worthy of, so that you can avoid trouble in the future."
Su Cheng lowered her head and chuckled, her already bright face becoming even more charming. "Thank you, Aunt Gui, for reminding me. I remember now."
After saying that, Su Cheng slowly stood up, stretched her tired arms, and walked slowly towards the door. When she reached Aunt Gui, she smiled slightly, raised her hand and slapped her.
A crisp slap was heard, and Aunt Gui's face was knocked aside. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
"You..." Aunt Gui looked confused. She raised her eyes in a daze and looked at Su Cheng in disbelief. "You dare to hit me?"
Su Cheng lowered her eyes, looking at her with interest. There seemed to be a hint of joy hidden in her calm tone. There was no fear in her eyes, only the pleasure of revenge. "I am reminding Aunt Gui to be careful with her words and actions, and understand what she cannot offend. This will help avoid trouble in the future."
"you!"
"Just because a monkey follows a tiger, it thinks it's the overlord of the forest too?" Su Cheng curled his lips and smiled faintly. "You are a servant, not a master. How dare you speak rudely to me? I am a young woman who has not yet married. How can you ruin my reputation?"
Aunt Gui fell to the ground, her face pale, stammering and unable to speak.
Su Cheng glared at her coldly and spoke softly, like a devil whispering, "If you do this to me again, my slap will only get harder each time."
