Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Recruiting handsome men, eight in one night...
Yuan Susu was slightly stunned, and slowly swallowed the plea on the tip of her tongue. Her eyes gradually softened, but she didn't resist his touch. "I'm fine, General Xie, don't worry."
"When I heard you wanted to see me, I rushed over immediately. What do you want me to help you with, Ayin?" Xie Heng said.
"I've been framed by Chen Rang, and I have evidence to prove my innocence," Yuan Susu said in a slightly hoarse voice. "I want you to help me overturn the verdict and clear my name."
"Okay." Xie Heng nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Yuan Susu frowned in surprise. "General Xie, aren't you afraid that I'll drag you into this mess? The noble families won't let me off easily. I made countless enemies in the court back then, and they'll all be trying to kill me now."
"You helped me, but you're now their enemy... Aren't you afraid? Or, are you from the Qingyuan Marquisate afraid?"
Xie Heng shook his head. The young man in bright clothes and a vigorous horse raised his eyebrows slightly, and a carefree look suddenly appeared:
"I only know that A-Yin needs my help. I also know that A-Yin would not do anything that would harm Your Majesty or the Great Zhou Empire. Wars are raging in the northern border, and I can't do without my father. Naturally, the nobles wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Xie Heng's words were like a feather that suddenly fell to the bottom of a lake and then suddenly floated to the surface.
Perhaps she could never repay this friendship.
After all, Xie Heng was thinking about Yuan Jiyin from the beginning to the end, not her.
"Don't worry, Ah Yin, I will definitely do what you want." Xie Heng's eyes were sincere and hot, and the love that was originally meant for the original owner was accidentally thrown on Yuan Susu.
She felt so guilty that her throat was choked and she couldn't utter a word.
Now Su Su doesn’t know when the script will return to normal, but she probably can’t go back.
After Xie Heng returned to Beijing in triumph, he still loved Yuan Jiyin without hesitation, but the plot of the script could not be advanced, and the story line of the male and female protagonists came to a standstill.
There is only one way left for Susu, and that is to capture Shen Rang.
She repeatedly entered the system last night to check Chen Rang's favorability and found that it had increased instead of decreased and had reached 65.
Yuan Susu once had a glimmer of hope, but then she thought, if even the world of transmigrating into a book could have bugs, how could this bad favorability not have bugs too?
After Xie Heng put on the hood of his cloak, he suddenly raised his hand to touch Su Su's cheek, placed two fingers on her lips and lifted them slightly: "Ayin, your smile is the most beautiful~"
Yuan Susu's pupils were slightly stunned. Damn, who wouldn't be moved by such a sunny little boy!
After all, Xie Heng was the male lead in the original script.
Two days after Xie Heng left, food and water were supplied normally.
No one ever came to question her again.
Yuan Susu almost wondered if she had been forgotten by them.
Until one day, around midnight, Lin Zhuo came.
He was wearing a crimson official uniform, which made his already fair skin look even whiter.
"Your Highness."
Lin Zhuo saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was always surrounded by people and whose every inch of her body was piled with money.
Now she has no hairpins or jewelry, her face is plain, and her eyes no longer have the brightness of the past.
Like a jade hairpin that fell into the mud and was covered with dust.
Lin Zhuo couldn't help but choke up, his voice slightly hoarse: "Your Highness...are you okay?"
"This is the first time I see you wearing the red robe of the Censorate," Yuan Susu looked up at Lin Zhuo, avoiding his question, "You look very good."
Lin Zhuo suddenly lowered his eyes to look at his robe. At that time, Shen Rang asked him whether he wanted to be a Qingming Censor or the eldest princess's husband.
He chose the future.
If he had not done that at the beginning, would Su Su not have ended up like this?
Lin Zhuo's eyes were moist, and he felt a pent-up anger in his heart that he couldn't express.
"Why did Lord Lin come here today?" Su Su did not continue the greetings. She knew that Lin Zhuo must have something important to tell her since he came so late at night.
Lin Zhuo looked around and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "General Xie gave it to me, to be brought to His Highness."
Xie Heng?
Yuan Susu took the note and unfolded it. The words on it were like a basin of snow water in the cold winter, completely extinguishing her dream of turning the tables.
Xie Heng said that he found the whereabouts of two Jinwu Guards, but on the way back to Beijing, the two seemed to have disappeared.
Completely disappeared without a trace.
In Kyoto, the only one who could do this and deceive the emperor was Shen Rang.
Yuan Susu couldn't think of a second person.
Lin Zhuo whispered, "Lord Shen is determined to find all the evidence against His Highness this time."
She got goose bumps all over her body and her scalp tingled.
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Lin Zhuo said, "Your Majesty hasn't mentioned how to deal with Your Highness recently. He even turned a blind eye to the joint letter from the ministers."
"Is there any news about Prince Anyang?"
Lin Zhuo shook his head.
Since he left, Susu sat alone, her mind particularly clear.
There's still no news about Prince Anyang, so...
If the court wanted to know the news about Prince Anyang, they would only interrogate or even torture me.
After all, right now, she is the one most deeply involved in the treason case.
But why has no one asked about her so far?
The jailers were not as rude to her on weekdays as they were when she first entered Zhao Prison.
Although the food looks messy, it is actually fresh in color.
Is it so easy to be in the Zhaoyu Prison that is feared by the whole world?
She initially sensed something was wrong, and after thinking about it more deeply, she felt more and more that something was wrong.
And even if she is the eldest princess, even if she is the wife of the Left Censor-in-Chief, even if His Majesty has no intention of killing her.
But why didn't the people from the Censorate touch her?
He acted so disgusted with himself in the hall, yet his favorability rating continued to rise...
If there is no error in the system.
So is Shen Rang using her to catch a big fish?
Suddenly, Yuan Susu broke out in a cold sweat.
is that so?
For some reason, Yuan Susu's eyes were red, and her mind once again recalled the scene in the hall.
When Shen Rang pointed the sharp sword at her without hesitation, a layer of frost that could devour her appeared in his eyes.
Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes and she raised the corners of her lips in self-mockery.
Really, is that so?
Yuan Susu, why are you pinning your hopes on a man again?
She looked at the hairpin hidden in her sleeve. The end of the hairpin had been sharpened by herself, and it was enough to cut her skin with a slight scratch.
If one day, Shen Rang unfortunately lets her go.
Then he is not far from death.
Anyway, for her, the collapse of this world is enough to make her unable to go back, so she might as well just throw in the towel.
Since I'm going to die, I have to take someone with me.
An unprecedented cruelty flashed across Yuan Susu's eyes.
That extremely sharp look suddenly appeared in the reflection of the hairpin.
Suddenly, his hand shook and the hairpin fell to the ground with a sound.
Yuan Susu felt extremely unfamiliar facing that extremely cruel look.
That night, she had a dream.
Nightmare.
She dreamed of Shen Rang.
His rough fingertips slowly stroked his cheek, his eyes always cold.
Su Su suddenly woke up and looked around but there was no one around.
Tonight's moonlight shone right onto her through the narrow window, and she raised her hand and touched it gently.
All that was left for her in the middle of the night was endless loneliness.
Aunt Jin noticed Su Su waking up and called softly, "Your Highness, are you awake?"
Yuan Susu's voice was hoarse and she lowered her eyes slightly: "Auntie, go to sleep. I'll watch over you tonight."
Aunt Jin raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Your Highness is too worried... It hurts my heart to see you."
"Aunt, what kind of person was I before?" Su Su looked at Aunt Jin's face, which looked more vicissitudes than before.
Yuan Susu watched as the two people who treated her best in this world were implicated because of her own mistakes.
"Your Highness's life was not as good as it is now," Aunt Jin stared at Susu's face in a trance. "Your Highness was busy with state affairs, and his brows never relaxed. And during the three years of ruling from behind the curtain, Your Highness's health has been getting worse."
Aunt Jin smiled with tears in her eyes, "It's so good now that you're away from the disputes in the court. Your Highness is living a comfortable life, and there's always laughter and joy in the mansion."
Susu suddenly remembered that others only cared about how high I flew, but only she cared about whether I was tired from flying.
"We've really escaped death this time..." Su Su's lips trembled, and she lowered her eyes to hide her tears. "Let's leave Shangjing and go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers."
"Find a good family for Cuicui, so that she can enjoy some leisure time after working so hard for half her life."
"Where is His Highness?"
"As for me," Yuan Susu shrugged, "I've been stabbed to this point by the person next to me..."
He sneered: "Sincerity is bullshit to me."
"I'm going to aggressively recruit handsome men, eight in one night!"
