Chapter 43 Chapter 43 This chapter is a must-read for everyone! ...
That night, there were seven water leaks in the mansion.
Shen Rang felt that his originally barren heart had become green because of Su Su's appearance.
It wasn't until tonight that it suddenly blossomed.
Su Su had been tortured to the point that her whole body felt limp and her consciousness was hazy.
The lips became more charming as Chen Rang sucked them. Chen Rang was attached to Yuan Susu's tenderness and charm at this moment.
"Madam, I am attracted to you. What about you? Are you also attracted to me?"
Su Su was half asleep and nodded lazily.

Chen Rang was already dominated to the extreme by the desire for sex. He narrowed his eyes and felt her tenderness.
An acquaintance whispered seductively, "Am I...better than them?"
"Hmm..." Su Su was out of strength, her breathing became increasingly ethereal with her eyes closed.
Shen Rang raised his eyebrows, the corners of his eyes were scarlet, and he grabbed her chin again: "Do you like it?"
"Hmm..." Su Su went from the initial anticipation and trembling to now feeling tired, weak, and hoarse...
"So this is what it means to be in love with someone and to feel happy at the same time." Chen Rang sighed.
"Um."
Chen Rang was clearly dissatisfied with Su Su's perfunctory response. Suddenly, his hot hands slid onto her slender neck covered with kiss marks, stroking the traces of their mutual indulgence. "Madam, is the only way to say 'hmm'?!"
"I like it..." Su Su rolled her eyes silently in her heart. She was obviously too tired to pay attention to him. This kind of cooperation was just to let him vent earlier and get the tiger talisman so as not to miss the important matter tomorrow.

After a stick of incense, a deep, satisfied voice suddenly rang out from inside the house: "Call for water."
As soon as Cuicui entered, she could smell the scent of love. With just a glance, she saw her prince's pampered, snow-white body...
So beautiful!
That scene completely stunned Cuicui.
Even if there are several young masters serving His Highness at night, they would not dare to treat His Highness like this!
Cuicui's face was flushed with shame as she prepared to help Susu take a bath. She also held the medicine and served by her side.
Su Su had completely lost her strength as Chen Rang, who was only vaguely clothed, lifted her up horizontally. He glanced at the bowl of medicine and said in a slightly stiff voice, "Everyone, get out. I'll serve His Highness tonight."
Cuicui nodded: "Yes."
Then he placed the medicine aside and walked out.
But after a certain "beast" took advantage of the ripples in the water to cause a surge, his lust suddenly ignited again, and he leaned over to hold Susu in his arms.
He tasted the marrow and became greedy beast.
Su Su murmured, her hands weakly placed on Shen Rang's muscular chest, resisting: "Stop... Stop..."
I don’t know if it was Su Su’s light tickle that made someone raise his eyebrows and feel secretly happy.
Then he began to hold Susu's soft waist, pulling her close to himself and giving her a lot of kisses.
Su Su covered her mouth directly, and then, with tears in her eyes, her voice trembled delicately: "What kind of medicine did that quack give you?! Are your ancient aphrodisiacs so awesome?"
Suddenly, Shen Rang let go.
A long silence followed.
Su Su's head cleared up for a moment. She looked up at Chen Rang, and there seemed to be shattered stars in his eyes. Su Su tried hard to recall: "I...what did I say wrong just now?"
There was a hint of satisfaction in Chen Rang's eyes, and then a hint of fatigue. He leaned on the edge of the bathtub and his breath gradually fell on Su Su's shoulder: "I don't know what happened to me tonight... I feel dizzy now..." Dizzy?
Could it be that this drug has taken effect at this time?
Good job!
I'm so tired of this, the drugs are taking effect now...
Do you think I still have the energy to steal?
After taking a shower, Shen Rang lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a short while. Su Su was very tired... so tired that she wanted to vomit.
However, because it was the first time I stole something, I was still a little scared, and this fear made me nervous.
After Shen Rang's breathing stabilized, he still held Su Su in his arms and refused to let go...
Su Su called softly, "Chen Rang?"
No movement.
But to be on the safe side, she still called out in a sticky and tender way: "Husband? Hubby? Baby?"
No reaction to this?
Su Su took a deep breath and then gently broke free from him...
Still no movement.
After she got out of bed, she endured the pain in her weak and trembling legs. It was particularly difficult to walk in the dark because Chen Rang extinguished all the candles in the house.
Fortunately, Yuan Susu was prepared. She took out a night pearl and groped behind the screen.
She swallowed nervously and began to grope bit by bit.
The illumination of the night pearl was still limited. Su Su slowly felt around and finally found a cold copper item in the inner layer through the clothes, which was indeed shaped like a tiger talisman.
Yuan Susu's eyes lit up, and when she took out the tiger talisman...
The clothes accidentally slipped to the ground, making quite a noise.
Her breathing was stagnant, she didn't dare to move, breathe or look.
However, Shen Rang's breathing was still steady and came from the tent.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the tiger talisman lying in her hand in the light.
Su Su was delighted, and quickly pushed the door open, called Cuicui and gave her a few instructions. Then, for fear of waking Shen Rang up, she quickly returned to bed and got into his warm arms.
Her heart was still pounding, and her breath was warm on his skin.
Perhaps because he felt a little itchy, Shen Rang moved slightly.
"Chen Rang." Su Su held her breath and tried.
No movement.
She was completely relieved, but she felt a little guilty...
After all, the person who was just in physical contact with you has become a pawn being used by others in the blink of an eye.
Su Su felt guilty and indebted to him. She lost all sleepiness and wanted to cry for no reason. She hugged him even tighter.
"I'm sorry, Chen Rang..." Yuan Susu inexplicably felt a sense of guilt and uneasiness.
………
That night, Susu slept fitfully.
After getting up, Chen Rang showed no signs of waking up. She thought the drug had taken effect. After washing up, Su Su left the bedroom and ordered someone to guard outside.
If Chen Rang wakes up, he must report immediately.
Su Su looked at Cuicui and asked anxiously, "Is everything done?"
Cuicui nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been taken care of."
"But..." Cuicui hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Your Highness, last night I gave Master Shen the Luozi soup... Did he serve it to Your Highness?"
"Ah?" Su Su was stunned. "Luozi soup?"
Her face couldn't help but turn red. After biting her lip, Su Su blurted out without thinking, "I guess I was too busy last night and forgot."
Too... too busy?
Seeing Cui Cui's shy face, she finally realized what she had blurted out: "I... I mean, I was too tired so I forgot to drink it. It's the same if I make up for it now~"
In the morning, Su Su was anxiously waiting for news about Prince Anyang, but there was no news that Shen Rang had woken up.
She was quite restless until she suddenly caught sight of the sudden sound of beacon fire outside the window.
Yuan Susu's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately ordered Cuicui, "Send a signal and have the Jinwu Guards take action immediately."
Cuicui nodded: "Yes."
"Is the prince consort still not awake?" She walked to the front of the bedroom and asked the servant guarding the door.
"Your Highness, the Prince Consort is still asleep."
Yuan Susu thought it was a good thing that Chen Rang had slept until now, at least this way the things in the original book would not happen.
After a moment of reflection, she left two Jinwu guards to ensure Shen Rang's safety, then turned around and ordered people to harness the carriage and quickly head to the palace.
Yuan Susu's long, slender nails stained with rouge were embedded in her palms, and her back was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Sitting in the carriage, she was silent as a cicada, with a bad premonition constantly rising in her heart.
Until entering the palace, His Majesty was still locked up in the Taiji Hall with the court officials, handling government affairs.
"Your Highness, please wait in the side hall for a moment until His Majesty summons you."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Su Su forced a smile.
But when she sat in the side hall, looking out the window from time to time, she felt at a loss.
Yuan Susu's hands were shaking so much that she could hardly lift the teacup, and her whole body was covered with goose bumps.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly...
The earth was shaking violently and there was a constant noise outside the temple.
Su Su supported Cuicui and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
Cuicui shook her head and looked at Susu distressedly, saying, "Your Highness... there are only a few Jinwu Guards left by your side, you should stay..."
Yuan Susu bit her lip: "No, I feel uneasy."
She was determined to leave the palace, but she saw the door to the Taiji Palace was wide open.
"Urgent! The city gate has been breached," a guard said urgently as he rode his horse into the palace gate not far away. "Prince Anyang's army... has rebelled!"
Suddenly, many imperial guards appeared and surrounded the Taiji Hall in three layers to protect the emperor.
When a eunuch saw Yuan Susu, he looked surprised and immediately rushed over and said, "Princess, why don't you go into the palace and hide? The rebels are attacking, you must take care of yourself."
Su Su immediately asked anxiously, "Where is His Majesty? Is His Majesty safe?"
The eunuch nodded, his expression hurried, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Emperor is safe. Just stay here and don't come out again."
"Where are the Eighth Battalion?" Yuan Susu asked. "When Prince Anyang's army attacked, didn't the remaining guards of the Eighth Battalion stop them?"
"I don't know."
After a while, the sounds of arrows and attacks on the palace gate were heard.
This was the first time Yuan Susu faced such a life-and-death crisis, and she never thought she would be so scared.
The blood in my body seemed to have frozen, and I felt terribly cold.
Yuan Susu kept praying in her heart that everything would be perfect!
Suddenly, she felt relieved when she heard the sound of gunpowder exploding in the sky.
Yuan Susu stood up, opened the door and looked at the smoke. The imperial guards were still shooting arrows and screams were heard from the smoke.
Done!!
She confidently lifted her skirt and ran towards the Taiji Hall. Her peripheral vision swept across the majestic Taiji Hall with its carved beams and painted rafters, and the young emperor who was sitting high above, surrounded by court officials.
After passing the Panlong Pillar, Yuan Susu saw a familiar, exceptionally cold and slender figure standing outside the vermilion gate of the Taiji Hall.
Su Su's eyes froze for a moment, and her steps paused...
Isn't Shen Rang still asleep in the mansion?
Yuan Susu felt a bitter feeling coming out of her, and seeing Chen made her feel a little relieved.
Tears welled up in his eyes, his brows knitted slightly, and the uncontrollable sourness at the tip of his nose made tears flow suddenly.
Yuan Susu couldn't hide the grievance in her heart and ran towards him: "Husband..."
Shockingly…
A cold light flashed, and the sword edge was sharp.
The sharp sword was coldly placed across his neck.
The sword blade scraped against the snow-white skin, and blood slowly oozed out.
She stared at Shen Rang's expressionless face and his extremely cold eyes filled with disgust.
Like she was something utterly disgusting.
Yuan Susu's heart suddenly ached, her mind went blank, and she looked at Shen Rang with empty eyes.
She was mercilessly subdued by the imperial guards and forced to kneel on the ground.
She looked at Chen Rang in disbelief, tears falling down uncontrollably...
Yuan Susu's throat was choked with fear and chill, and she stared at Chen Rang with aggrieved eyes, her mouth open.
The look he gave was particularly indifferent, even distant.
Suddenly, heavy rain fell, dispersing the smoke...
Su Su turned her head and looked at the remaining people in King Anyang's army.
This time she prepared a lot of gunpowder, which blew up blood pits all over the ground.
The scene was bloody and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Shen Rang stood tall and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, I am reporting to the Crown Princess Yuan Jiyin for suspected treason by Prince Anyang, and for disrupting the government. There is ample evidence... and the charges are being investigated..."
Shen Rang knelt outside the Taiji Hall, his eyes filled with coldness and he spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"punish."
Punishment for crimes...
Oh.
Tears kept streaming down Yuan Susu's eyes. She sat dejectedly on the ground, sneering at Chen Rang.
It turns out that he has always regarded himself as his next medal of honor...
It turned out that he teased and seduced, making even the hunter himself deeply involved.
Just for today.
Yuan Susu's expression was broken, and her feelings for Shen Rang were gradually shattered through her misty eyes.
The memories of last night kept echoing in her ears ridiculously.
Everything was a lie to me...
He is so calm and has never liked me...
He is so stubborn that he has never stopped thinking about killing me...
He is so calm and never believes anything I say...
I should have been prepared last night, so I enjoyed myself so much just to squeeze out every last bit of usefulness from me...
Come to think of it, except for the traces of ambiguity all over the body, it is true...
Everything else is fake.
Su Su could hear the intimate whispers from last night.
She laughed even louder, and tears continued to fall into lines: “Shen Rang…you are really calculating.”
"Your Majesty, please understand," Cuicui cried, trying to defend Susu. "Our prince is innocent. The gunpowder just now was prepared by your prince! And your prince even specifically ordered the Jinwu Guards to ambush the rebels and stop them..."
"Gunpowder? Jinwu Guards?" A minister from a noble family in the hall sneered.
"The gunpowder prepared by the Princess is still being held outside the city walls and hasn't exploded yet. How could it be in the palace? This gunpowder was clearly obtained by Lord Shen himself from the Ministry of War, and every single one of them is recorded. May I ask where the Princess gets the evidence that you prepared the gunpowder?"
Yuan Susu knelt on the ground dejectedly, her hair slightly disheveled. A bone-chilling chill slowly climbed up from the cracks between her bones, and her heart was completely numb.
Shen Rang wanted to kill her from the beginning to the end, so how could someone with such a shallow sense of hearing sleep like that?
So from the beginning, he didn't drink any medicine at all?
That's all.
Having come this far, it was all a mistake.
"Cuicui... I'm the one who's dragged you down. No need to explain. I, Yuan Susu, missed a move. I never thought I'd be schemed against like this by my beloved."
Her tears flowed numbly, her voice hoarse with a self-deprecating laugh: "Chen Rang...as long as you feel at ease. Anyway, my Yuan Susu is a dead man, no one cares...I beg you...the servants in the princess's mansion are all innocent, please don't touch them."
Shen Rang's tone was stiff, without even a trace of emotion: "I will handle it impartially, so there is no need for the princess to worry."
Shen Lai said, "I beg Your Majesty to execute the eldest princess."
Then, voices calling for her execution came one after another from the hall.
And finally, the voice that was whispered in Susu's ear last night but sounded cold, indifferent and stiff today: "Your Majesty, I second the motion."
Favorability is nothing. Which man doesn't like beautiful women with big breasts, long legs, fair skin and good looks?
I mistook desire for true love and ended up being defeated by male beauty in this life.
At this moment, a particularly clear voice of objection suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated by the three courts and is open to discussion. Your Highness cannot be allowed to suffer injustice at will, Your Majesty!"
Su Su frowned and looked up, and it turned out to be Xie Heng, whom she had only met once.
Xie Heng lifted his robe and knelt down, looking at Su Su with pity and pity in his eyes: "Ayin, please defend yourself a little more."
"I have nothing to say," Susu said self-deprecatingly. "After all, no matter how much I say, those who want me dead will find ways to crush me. Thank you very much, General. Ultimately, this is because I, Yuan Susu, didn't judge people well. I was wrong... I shouldn't have easily trusted other people's promises..."
She looked at Chen Rang, at his sanctimonious figure, and at the extremely vile heart hidden beneath his bright and sunny appearance.
"My mistake was believing I could change my fate..."
After a long pause, Yuan Che glanced at Su Su in a deep voice before saying, "The eldest princess is still my elder sister after all. Even if she has made mistakes, it is too much to kill her. This case will be discussed later. The eldest princess will be imprisoned in the Metropolitan Censorate."
"Your Majesty!" Shen Rang said sternly, "The evidence clearly points to the eldest princess and Prince Anyang secretly colluding to seize power and usurp the throne..."
Su Su heard that he was extremely earnest in wanting Yuan Che to execute her, and she suddenly understood why the original master wanted to go against him.
For a man who is so cunning, so scheming, and never speaks the truth...
There is no other way except to kill it.
She was escorted back to the Metropolitan Censorate's Zhaoyu Prison, where the smell of blood and decay was pungent.
Su Su was imprisoned in the innermost cell, which was cold, damp and lifeless.
Even under the damp and rotten ground, there were traces of rats crawling around. Cuicui and Aunt Jin were imprisoned next door.
They angrily asked, "How can you mistreat the princess like this when she hasn't been convicted yet?"
It was the first time that the jailer saw Yuan Susu. Seeing her, even though she was in such a miserable state, she was still bright and beautiful, with a fair and graceful figure that was simply enchanting.
With evil thoughts in his mind, he glanced at Yuan Susu and said, "Princess, you were born into a royal family. This arrangement is indeed inappropriate. How about... Your Highness, please let me have some fun, and I will bring you some good bedding. What do you think?"
Aunt Jin was so angry that she wanted to hit the jailer: "You! How dare you!"
"How dare you?" The jailer's true nature was revealed after his hand was scratched. "Bah! Don't you see where you are? This is the most strict prison in the court. Anyone who enters here will be tortured to a state worse than death. What's more, you have offended Lord Shen this time. I'm afraid you will be humiliated even more."
Susu curled up in the corner, her eyes empty as if she had predicted her own death in advance.
Finally, we have come to this point.
That's right, she was just trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
How could she shake the existing script framework of this world?
She should have figured it out long ago instead of staying in Shangjing and thinking she could create a miracle.
In the end it's all in vain.
She was unwilling but powerless.
But everyone will die eventually. Isn’t death the worst outcome?
So why not give it another try for yourself?
Yuan Susu leaned against the wall. Most of the Jinwu Guards had died in the chaos of battle, and no one would vouch for them...
wrong!
And the Jinwu Guards she left with Chen Rang!!
They can testify for themselves when Yuan Susu wanted the Jinwu Guards to infiltrate the Anyang King's army to control the gunpowder explosion.
Therefore, the two Jinwu Guards who stayed behind temporarily were the evidence of her turnaround.
The tiger-shaped order was to disperse the remaining eight camps of city defense around the border line, so that the Anyang King's army would believe that there was no threat from the rear.
In fact, they were taking the opportunity to hunt down the rebels and encircle them.
These are all evidence that Yuan Susu is not guilty of treason.
Even if Prince Anyang won the battle, she could still blame the gunpowder incident on the palace's defenses, and the eight battalions of troops would have noticed something was wrong and surrounded him.
This was the best of both worlds she had come up with, a solution that allowed her to attack and defend at the same time.
But in the end, I still didn't expect that I would be tricked by that bastard Shen Rang.
However, there has been no news about Prince Anyang and Prince Anyang.
If they wanted to retreat back to Liangzhou, they would definitely send someone to kill me.
She immediately said, "Cuicui, Aunt Jin, you must hide the silver hairpins on your heads. If someone wants to kill us, they will definitely start with the food."
"Also, the three of us will take turns sleeping at night. We must not all be asleep. If anyone wants to kill us, we must scream and cause panic, attracting the jailers."
"Will the jailer help us?" Cuicui was worried.
"Yes!" Yuan Susu said firmly, "Because His Majesty said that my crime does not deserve death. If I die and His Majesty blames me, none of them in the Censorate can bear the responsibility."
The Zhaoyu Prison of the Metropolitan Censorate did not seem to be as scary as rumored. Su Su looked around and saw that it was empty.
Since nightfall, the light began to waver with the wind blowing in from the side, and the faint smell of decay mixed with the smell of blood passed by the nose from time to time.
She slept uneasily at night and was awakened several times by nightmares.
She huddled in the corner, biting her lip, not wanting to worry Aunt Jin, so she made no sound and just cried alone.
Tears kept flowing down, I hated myself for not being able to judge people well, hated myself for believing the man's lies and causing myself and everyone around me to end up in such a situation.
Yuan Susu hated it extremely.
But what she couldn't understand was how a person could act out love so realistically.
Yuan Susu choked and sobbed silently.
This sound was still caught by a person hiding in a corner in the empty and echoing corridor.
He turned around, his expression slightly cold, his face hidden by his black cloak.
I can't see anything clearly.
After he was released from prison, his brows and eyes were still frozen with a layer of frost.
The biting cold wind blew into his nostrils, and he coldly said to the attendant beside him: "It still stinks. She is too delicate to stand the smell."
"Yes, sir," the jailer said, "This Chuzhao Prison has been sealed for many years and has been cleaned inside and out. But you said that traces must be left behind..."
"Do you want me to say it again?" The man was so tired that his pupils were bloodshot.
But when he raised his eyebrows, his drooping eyelashes fluttered gently, and his eyes, which were suddenly exposed, concealed a sense of oppression.
"I dare not," the jailer shuddered, "I respectfully bid you farewell, sir."
After that person got on the car, he pinched his brows wearily and asked, "Any news about Yuan Chan?"
"When the eight battalions were suppressing the enemy, Prince Anyang and his son had already sensed something was amiss, and our men lost track of them."
"Where are the Jinwu Guards?"
"...No one survived." The guard driving the vehicle had a trembling voice. "These Jinwu Guards were a secret guard left by the late emperor for my husband... for the eldest princess. Your Highness, disregarding your own safety in such an act, is truly a noble act."
"But I hurt her so deeply," the man said, tears welling up in his eyes, one of them running down his cheek, "she will never forgive me."
The next day, Yuan Susu looked at the food brought by the jailer, which was a bowl of porridge with ordinary steamed buns.
Cuicui frowned, "How can Your Highness eat such a crude and disgusting thing!"
Yuan Susu picked it up without hesitation. These things were indeed too crude nowadays. After all, her stomach had been spoiled by delicacies from land and sea.
But in modern times, steamed buns and porridge are the most common breakfasts that accompany her in her ordinary university life.
Yuan Susu picked up a steamed bun and started to eat it: "If you have such clean food, just eat it quickly. Don't be picky. As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood..."
"I want to get out alive," Su Su's eyes revealed hatred and murderous intent. "I will personally kill the person who treats my sincerity like grass!"
During lunch, Yuan Susu summoned the jailer and said she wanted to see Xie Heng.
The jailer was young and looked intimidating. As expected, he did not refuse outright but was immediately in a dilemma.
"Even His Majesty has said that my crime doesn't deserve death!" Yuan Susu threatened. "What? I'm not even dead yet, and the Censorate is already thinking of locking me up forever?"
The jailer, under such heavy pressure, naturally did not dare to disobey Yuan Susu's order: "Then let me go and ask the superiors first."
Yuan Susu's voice rose several degrees, her eyes as cold as ice: "Tell Chen Rang, if you don't want the Censorate to bear the responsibility of the Princess's life, then make sure Xie Heng comes to see me!"
Half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came.
Yuan Susu held the hairpin for self-defense in her hand, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a man, holding his robe to cover his face, stood behind the jailer.
The man's voice was clear and urgent: "Everyone get out."
When they were the only ones left in Zhaoyu, Xie Heng took off his robe and looked Susu up and down through the iron bars before he felt relieved.
"Ayin, are you okay?" Xie Heng suddenly grabbed Susu's slender wrist, very anxious.
They didn't know that there was someone in the dark who witnessed everything.
Bitterness and sinisterness converged on the skin that touched...
