Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Not only can you play with it, you can also touch and kiss it
Behind Anyang Prince Yuan Lin was a group of young men from aristocratic families, all waiting to laugh at Lin Zhuo who was forced into a corner by Yuan Lin.
Lin Zhuo's face was extremely grim. His back remained straight, his eyes slightly cold, and his voice slightly hoarse: "Prince... you are still in the palace today, and you and I are officials in the same court. I'm afraid this will be embarrassing."
Everyone sneered.
"Face? What face do you want? Do you really think that just because you can be called the best together with Master Shen, you can be compared with him?" Someone mocked.
"You were indeed so young to win the championship, which was a great achievement," Yuan Lin's lackey continued to sneer, "but what about now? A minor official of the seventh rank dares to disobey our prince? Who do you think you are?"
Lin Zhuo's face was ashen, and the last bit of dignity in his heart was punctured and torn apart bit by bit by their ridicule and curses.
He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the light leaking from the sky.
He recalled when he first entered the court as an official and entered the Ministry of Justice, he vowed to his friends that he would use his meager strength to restore justice to the people of the Great Zhou.
"Lin Zhuo," Yuan Lin suddenly said, "I'll give you three more numbers. If you don't obey, I'll make you, Lin Zhuo, get out of Shangjing tonight!"
The light in Lin Zhuo's eyes had disappeared, his palms were pinched white by his fingers, and his breathing seemed to have stopped.
As he closed his eyes and bent his knees to kneel...
"Really? Who are you asking to get out?" Suddenly, a clear and intimidating voice came from behind them.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Yuan Lin turned around after hearing this, a smile on his face: "Sister, are you here to see the fun too? Do you want him to carry you for a couple of laps too?"
Yuan Susu's eyes flashed, and she slowly scanned everyone's faces. She remembered it clearly.
She wanted to get these people out of Shangjing one by one.
Su Su slowly cast her gaze on Lin Zhuo's face. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.
She carefully examined his features. Lin Zhuo had a face like a crown of jade, with superior bone structure. Crow feathers drooped lightly, covering his eyes. He had a straight nose with a mole on the tip, and his lips were very pale.
Lin Zhuo straightened his back, neither humble nor arrogant, even though he was forced to this extent.
He never lost his character.
This was the first time Yuan Susu looked at Lin Zhiyue at such a close distance. Her eyes were red, and the love that had been hidden in her heart for many years now aroused an unprecedented desire to protect him.
The young man was bullied to such an extent, yet he was so gentle that people could cherish him. He did not dare to raise his eyes, but he also noticed the other emotions revealed by the princess: "I, the humble official Lin Zhuo of the Ministry of Justice, pay my respects to Your Highness."
He was about to lift his robe and kneel down when suddenly a pair of slender, cool hands gently grasped his wrist.
Lin Zhuo looked up in surprise and met Su Su's gaze. This was the first time he had seen the eldest princess so closely.
He clearly saw that the eyes of the infamous prince were red.
She said, “No need to kneel.”
Something wavered in Lin Zhuo's eyes, and his throat tightened.
Su Su said firmly, "I'm telling you, you don't have to kneel from now on."
Lin Zhuo saw clearly what was revealed in His Highness's eyes: love.
The tips of his ears turned red. He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it.
"Sister...you!" Yuan Lin suddenly asked anxiously, "Your Highness, don't you know what Lin Zhuo did?"
Seeing that Susu ignored him, he pulled Yuan Susu aside and whispered, "He dared to involve me in what he did today, so he might implicate Your Highness in the future. If we allow him to stay in Shangjing any longer, I'm afraid he will make a big mistake sooner or later! Your Highness, don't let yourself be seduced by beauty and miss out on important things!"
Yuan Susu glanced at Lin Zhuo and suddenly curled her lips: "I understand what the prince means."
Yuan Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the princess say this. He curved his lips and looked at Lin Zhuo as if he were looking at a dog: "Then... Your Highness, please ride first?"
"Yeah." Yuan Susu responded.
Lin Zhuo's gaze froze for a moment, then suddenly dimmed, and he felt a surge of self-mockery in his heart.
Su Su slowly walked forward and looked at Lin Zhuo. The shame in his heart lingered. When he accepted his fate...
Yuan Susu suddenly grasped his hand and asked in a clear, sweet voice, "Sir, you love riding horses so much..."
Lin Zhuo watched as Su Su raised her finger and pointed at the young man from the aristocratic family who had just bullied him together with Yuan Lin.
"How about Lord Lin choosing a 'horse' for him from here?" Su Su looked at Lin Zhuo with sparkling eyes, and all the love that she had hidden and suppressed in her eyes came out without reservation.
Yuan Lin frowned in disbelief and confirmed, "Sister!? Are you sure?"
Su Su pretended to have suddenly understood something: "That's right, Lord Lin and you are all colleagues in the court. It's better for me to make the selection. Don't let Lord Lin be wronged or harassed by others in the court. Don't worry, brother!"
Yuan Susu's eyes darkened as she looked at the minister whose face looked ashen.
She stopped in front of that lackey: "Didn't I see you smiling just now?"
"Why aren't you smiling now? Is it because you don't like to smile?"
Suddenly, the man knelt down, trembling like a sieve: "Your Highness, please spare my life. I was wrong."
Yuan Susu, with a cold face, was about to leave with Lin Zhuo by her hand. When she passed by Cuicui, she stopped and said, "You stay here to supervise. If the prince is not having fun, you will be punished to play two more rounds."
Cuicui suppressed her laughter and said, "Yes."
Yuan Susu took Lin Zhuo away and put him on the carriage in front of everyone.
Only Lin Zhuo could sense that although the eldest princess appeared cold and hard on the outside, the fingers she placed on his wrist were trembling unexpectedly.
Only after getting on the carriage did she breathe heavily for a moment.
Yuan Susu's mind was in turmoil. Not only did she see the man she had been longing for, she also held his hand...
It’s worth it to chase stars to this extent!
Lin Zhuo's clothes had turned white from washing, but they were still clean, and his body was intertwined with the fragrance of books and ink.
He lowered his eyes a little nervously, his black hair tied up high, and he looked gentle, elegant, and graceful.
Lin Zhuo opened his lips, his voice as pure as a spring that had suddenly fallen from a pool of stagnant water. "I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Your Highness for rescuing me today. How would Your Highness like me to repay you?"
"No need," Su Su's heart was pounding. "I...I have no ill intentions. I know you're a good person, so when I saw them treating you like that, I naturally wanted to help you..."
The more Su Su spoke, the redder her face became.
His eyes locked onto Su Su, whose cheeks were flushed, and he felt puzzled: "I don't know when I have met Your Highness. How does Your Highness know that I am a good person?"
She looked up in surprise but didn't want to look at Lin Zhuo for even a moment. Her ears felt hot and her heart skipped a beat.
Yuan Susu dug her fingertips into her palms, forcing herself to calm down. Her eyes flickered and she spoke incoherently, "You've done your duty conscientiously, even at the cost of offending the Anyang prince in order to uphold justice. You're a good person."
Lin Zhuo stared intently. The case he took over was just a case in which a dancer was raped by the Prince of Anyang and died in the wilderness a few days later.
Most court officials would turn a blind eye to such matters and would never get themselves into any trouble, so the Ministry of Justice handed the case over to Lin Zhuo.
Who would have thought that he would actually investigate the case, and not only did he follow the clues to identify the murderer as a guard in the Anyang Palace.
This really annoyed Yuan Lin, and he actually targeted him to this extent.
Is he a good person?
A hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared on the corner of Lin Zhuo's lips. He had been watching the panic rising from the bottom of his heart in these days.
Seeing his colleagues who used to be friendly to him now avoid him.
Watching that powerful person, he could tear his dignity to pieces with just one word, or reverse the situation with just one word.
The faith and pursuit of prosperity in Lin Zhuo's heart seemed to slowly crack.
Yuan Susu noticed Lin Zhuo's expression and put her hand on him with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"No problem." Lin Zhuoru's dark eyes were filled with brokenness. "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness. In the future, if you don't abandon me..."
Yuan Susu's eyes lit up, and her heart beat wildly...
He suddenly held Susu's hand and said, "I am willing to be your highness's chess piece and help you return to the court as soon as possible."
Su Su: “…”
I thought he wanted to pledge himself to me directly.
After sending Lin Zhuo back to the Lin Mansion, Yuan Susu was still very excited when she returned to the mansion.
Even though the person in front of him was just a paper figure, and even though he and Lin Zhiyue were completely different people, but...
She was already thinking of names for their child.
People who can only be admired from a distance and not touched in reality, here you can not only touch but also kiss.
Yuan Susu also understood this substitute literature.
Yuan Susu had been smiling since she entered the mansion until she heard a voice behind her: "Your Highness has really made a name for himself today."
Suddenly, Susu's laughter stopped completely.
Those words could make people tremble with coldness. Apart from Shen Rang, there must be no one else who could do that.
Her breathing was slightly heavy, and she couldn't help but maintain an awkward yet polite smile as she turned around and asked, "Young Master, what brings you to the Princess's residence?"
Chen Rang's brows were deep, and the corridors by the waterside pavilion were changing in light and shadow. "I heard that at the palace banquet today, Your Highness saved a criminal official from Yuan Lin?"
"What's wrong with that?" Yuan Susu had placed all her hopes on conquering this huge iceberg.
But, God will not destroy Yuan Susu.
Lin Zhuo actually appeared with her favorite face. Yuan Susu suddenly felt that instead of risking being angered to death or killed by him, it would be better to take Lin Zhuo out of Kyoto.
Live a life of love and affection without shame~
Presumably, without her as an obstacle, the story of the male and female protagonists would go more smoothly!
so…
Treat Chen Rang with due courtesy and make sure that this moody man doesn't get so angry that he picks up a knife and cuts himself.
His sharp eyes swept over the subtle thoughts written on Su Su's face. Shen Rang said with his hands behind his back, "It just so happens that the affairs of the court have been dealt with today, so I came to teach Your Highness."
Come again?
Su Su complained in her heart: Do you really have to make me suffer when I am happiest?
Suddenly, a falcon with snow-white feathers flew towards Susu in the sky. The falcon let out a melodious and sharp cry and landed steadily in front of Yuan Susu.
Su Su's pupils trembled. How could a city-raised kid have ever seen this?!
She huddled behind Cuicui: "Whose eagle is this that's not optimistic? Let it run around!"
The falcon seemed to sense its master's fear and lowered its head somewhat disappointedly.
Su Su felt the oppressive and scrutinizing gaze coming from above, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
Cuicui said helplessly: "Your Highness, have you forgotten? This is a snowball!"
"Snowball?" Yuan Susu closed her eyes. Could it be that this was raised by the original owner?!
Shen Rang suddenly walked towards Snowball, his eyes fell on the letter on the sharp eagle claws and took it off.
Chen Rang held the letter tube tightly, his eyes swept across Yuan Susu, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled up in a provocative arc: "Your Highness, why don't you open it and take a look?"
The author has something to say:
