Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The Hardest Mouth in the Body
The veins in Shen Rang's hand around Su Su's waist were throbbing faintly.
The warm little hand covered his palm, and the tiny electric current at the touch connected the two of them together.
Her breathing suddenly stopped for a moment, and Susu looked up at herself.
His burning gaze fell on her delicate and beautiful cheeks, watching her eyes flutter.
His lips were like tempting berries. He wanted to bite them gently and feel the sweet juice of the berries bursting between his lips and teeth.
Suddenly, Yu Shu's embarrassed voice sounded outside the door: "Master, urgent... urgent news."
The finishing touch, the finishing touch again!
Yuan Susu's face flushed deeply. She covered herself with the quilt and said, "Go quickly. Don't delay the important matter."
Chen Rang went out with a dark face, and was not in a good mood when he met everyone.
Inside the study, Chen Rang looked at Yu Shu, who was standing timidly in the corner, with a dark face: "Still not talking!? What are you standing there for? Do you still need me to treat you?"
Yu Shu said with a sad face: "Master, look, the secret guards are here to report."
Shen Rang knocked on the table and sighed impatiently.
After Yu Shu presented the message, Chen Rang quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and his face darkened.
Shen Rang asked, "Your Highness, are you going out these days?"
Yu Shu nodded.
"Go find out who's behind this clothing store in the city."
"Yes." Yu Shu turned around and left after receiving the order.
After Chen Rang burned the letter, he suddenly moved the pile of books away and turned the candlestick beside him in a direction. A secret compartment suddenly appeared, and he took out the tiger talisman and placed it on his body.
When I returned to the room, Susu was already asleep.
Chen Rang told Cuicui to go down, and he sat alone on the edge of the bed, looking at her coldly.
He slowly stroked her cheek with his fingertips, trying to see what she was thinking.
But he couldn't see through it.
I can never see through it.
The affairs of the court are turbulent and changing rapidly.
When Prince Anyang returned to the capital this time, there was a big battle in the capital.
He only learned today in the court that southern Xinjiang had fallen, and Prince Fengyang requested support from the court.
It is understandable that King Anyang refused on the grounds that his army was tired.
After much deliberation, the ministers decided to dispatch half of the guards from the eight major camps in the capital and the guards from various prefectures and counties to support the southern border.
But, how could it be such a coincidence!?
Some things are just too coincidental.
There must be something fishy going on.
He sat beside Susu all night, watching the candle flame, which was hanging by a thread, suddenly burst with a "sizzling" sound.
The bursting of lantern flowers has always been a good omen.
Shen Rang's undecided mind finally made up its mind at this moment.
But while he felt relieved, his brows slightly furrowed, and a feeling of heartache and guilt welled up in his heart:
"Susu, what should you do?"
…
It was already a bit cold in the capital city in late autumn. Yuan Susu had not slept well these days, and there was always a big stone weighing down her heart.
Today, Yuan Susu got up early and planned to go out.
Because Shen Rang left a letter saying that the palace affairs have been busy in recent days, the Southern Xinjiang under the jurisdiction of King Fengyang needs support.
He will stay in the palace for the next two days.
This is a good opportunity for Su Su. Now she is being watched by Shen Rang's men whenever she moves in Buwang Mountain, which is really inconvenient.
It would be better to return to the princess's mansion to arrange the next matters.
When Yuan Susu went out, she saw Ling Feng and asked, "Where are you going, Madam?"
"Oh, tell Shen Rang a message for me," Su Su handed a letter to Ling Feng, "He hasn't returned to Buwang Mountain in the past few days, so it's pointless for me to stay alone. I might as well go back to the Princess Mansion for a few days."
Ling Feng frowned slightly. He didn't dare to stop the princess and had to do as she said: "Yes."
Not long after she returned home, she received the winter clothes she had ordered at the clothing shop a few days ago.
It seems that King Anyang's men are still watching him in the dark all the time.
Yuan Susu sent everyone away and sat alone in the study, unfolding a bottle and a piece of letter she had found inside a velvet skirt.
After using the flickering candlelight to make the handwriting visible, the line of words written on it made Yuan Susu's hands tremble uncontrollably.
Her heart suddenly twitched for a moment.
The vigorous and powerful strokes of the brush pierced Yuan Susu's heart like a knife: Get the tiger talisman, get rid of Chen Rang, and attack in two days.
Her eyes were focused on the bottle of poison.
Shen Rang is indeed a formidable opponent for them, but...
If it was going to be removed, it should have been done in advance. Now that the matter has come to the point, it doesn't matter whether Shen Rang is there or not.
Suddenly, there was movement at the window.
Su Su was startled and grabbed the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
A man came in through the window, his figure looked neither like Chen Rang nor Yuan Lin.
assassin.
Just as she was about to turn around and run out, the man behind her said calmly, "Jiyin, it's Uncle Wang."
Uncle Wang! ?
Yuan Susu turned around and saw Queen Anyang, and only then did she feel relieved.
"Why is Uncle Wang here?" Su Su lowered her head to pour tea, not daring to look at his pupils, which were gray and dark, and extremely creepy.
Prince Anyang took the teacup and glanced at Susu quietly: "After so many years, Jiyin has changed a lot."
Yuan Susu's throat tightened, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her back. She tried her best to control her voice as she trembled slightly:
"People change, and Uncle Wang has changed a lot too."
"Oh?" Prince Anyang suddenly became interested. "Your Highness, could you please tell me what has changed about me?"
"Uncle Wang... has become more calm. I heard that in recent years, the Liangzhou Guards have defeated Jin Xia step by step, and Uncle Wang's prestige as a general has increased." Yuan Susu justified herself by picking out some nice words that everyone likes to hear.
Yuan Chan Lao Qian smiled, and when he looked up again, the cruelty and coldness in his eyes suddenly appeared: "Your Highness, why didn't you discuss this risky move with us?"
A risky move?
Marry Shen Rang?
"Uncle Wang has already said that if you take a risky move in war, you must seize the opportunity. You can't catch a wolf without risking your child." Yuan Susu looked at Yuan Chan's eyes, which were as sharp as an eagle's and were full of wisdom and calculation.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Su Su did not dare to show her timidity. She raised the corners of her eyes and imitated the pride, ambition and greed that the eldest princess should have.
Until Yuan Chan was the first to break the silence: "Your Highness is indeed the same as usual. Your Highness has played the role of a pig to eat the tiger to perfection."
"Why did Uncle Wang come to see me today?"
Yuan Chan glanced at the white-glazed medicine bottle beside the table, his expression as calm as usual: "Get the tiger talisman and kill Chen Rang."
In the words of Anyang Wang Yuanchan, killing a person is like crushing an ant.
Suddenly, the silver fire charcoal made a "sizzling" sound of burning and colliding.
She took a sip of tea to hide her guilt and panic: "Okay."
"At the palace banquet a few days ago, I saw that Your Highness and Master Shen were extremely affectionate. Would Your Highness be willing to kill him?" Prince Anyang said with a teasing smile.
Yuan Susu's heart felt as if it had been brushed by a cat's tail. She suppressed the emotion in her eyes: "He's just a good-looking man. Without Chen Rang, I can still find another beautiful woman to accompany me."
Prince Anyang smiled and said, "Your Highness is still so free and easy."
"I wonder if Your Highness is aware that your uncle, Prince Fengyang, is about to lose the southern border, and the court is trying every possible way to dispatch troops for reinforcements."
"Then...Wouldn't Anyang Wangjun..." Su Su was stunned.
Yuan Chan interrupted, "Your Highness, rest assured. I have already refused reinforcements, citing the fatigue of the royal army. Furthermore, Liang Province cannot be separated from the royal army, and Your Majesty is also worried about the Jin army's return."
"So, where will the reinforcements come from?"
"Half of the soldiers from the eight major camps stationed on the borders of the capital, along with soldiers from the various prefectural and state governments."
Eight Great Battalions!?
"That doesn't mean..." Su Su's heart suddenly stopped...
Yuan Chan smiled and said, "It won't take any effort for us to capture Shangjing City."
After Yuan Chan left, Su Su thought for a long time.
If the capital wants to dispatch troops to support Southern Xinjiang, then...
This battle, Prince Anyang will surely win, he will win...
Is it necessarily good?
Yuan Che will be killed, and maybe she will too.
Yuan Susu certainly knew the principle of "when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked".
She was just a woman, and her power had long been taken away by the aristocratic families.
If that time really comes, how can she protect herself?
Suddenly, Yuan Susu heard Shen Rang's words: "No matter what, I will do my best to protect you."
Yuan Susu closed her eyes and let out the anger that was pent up in her chest.
This time, I want to fight for myself and find a way to survive!
When she opened her eyes again, she had burned the letter to ashes.
…
That night, Chen Rang received an invitation from Yuan Susu to have dinner at the Princess's Mansion.
He arrived at the princess's mansion exhausted.
He first took a bath and washed away all his fatigue.
By the time he had dinner with Susu, he had regained his spirits.
Chen Rang picked up a dish of assorted jade shrimp and meat puffs: "Why did you suddenly want to come back and live here?"
Su Su took the shrimp puffs from the bowl and lost her appetite. "Husband... I heard the guards from the Eighth Battalion were also transferred to support Southern Xinjiang."
He nodded and raised his hand to gently wipe the corner of Su Su's lips: "Yes, Southern Xinjiang is in trouble and lacks troops now. The court must provide support."
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing up Susu's hairband, and the ends of her hair and the hairband were blown up by the wind and brushed against his lips.
The scent of her body lingered on the tip of my nose, and at that moment...
Chen Rang also smelled the pine scent on his body, and their eyes met, their gazes intertwined.
Su Su's heart was pounding, her throat swallowed and her face flushed, she was afraid that she would fall into despair, so she had to...
I kept implanting the idea in my mind that 'he is just a paper man'.
But suddenly, my mind flashed back to the scenes of forcing the emperor to abdicate and the bloody mess of the dagger piercing my chest that I had seen in TV dramas...
She was suddenly frightened, her heart suddenly twitched, and she suddenly broke out in pain and cold sweat.
Yuan Susu lowered her eyes and said in a distant tone, "I'm full, please enjoy. I'm tired today, so I'll go back and rest first."
Suddenly, her wrist was restrained. Su Su lowered her head and glanced at the hand that caused the burning sensation. "What's wrong?"
"Susu..." Chen Rang pulled Yuan Susu into his arms. Seeing Susu's starry eyes slightly startled as she threw herself into his arms, he hugged her and said with scrutiny, "Are you...hiding something from me?"
Suddenly, Yuan Susu felt a little dry in her throat. She bit her lips uncomfortably, her body stiff and her eyes uncontrollably vague.
Su Su felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Shen Rang, so Shen Rang hooked her chin and forced her to look up.
She looked at his cold eyes, long eyebrows, and the small mole at the corner of his eye, which made him look a little cold and noble.
"Ah? No..." Su Su turned her head away and tried to break free, "Chen Rang, let go."
There was a hint of elegance and charm in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then kiss me."
Su Su pouted and resisted: "I won't."
"Then I'll kiss you." After that, a dense and lingering kiss fell on her lips, from sucking to taking...
Only after Su Su pinched Chen Rang was he released.
Shen Rang reached out and wiped away the traces of the ambiguity just now: "You don't like it?"
"I don't like it!" Su Su hit his hand and stood up angrily.
Shen Rang looked at her leaving figure and blurted out involuntarily: "She has the toughest mouth in her body."
