Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Master Shen, are you very friendly?
Yuan Susu frowned and took advantage of Chen Rang's unpreparedness to immediately reach out and snatch the secret letter from his hand. She frowned and her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure: "Chen Rang! Give it to me!"
Su Su wasn't stupid. How could such a ferocious bird appear in the plains of Shangjing? And the original owner didn't communicate through humans, but relied on a falcon that was almost impossible to catch. There must be some hidden secret.
Shen Rang is too dangerous and we must not let him catch us.
"Your Highness, why are you so nervous? Why..." When Shen Rang turned his narrow and cold eyes, there was the pressure of an interrogation in the imperial prison.
Shen Rang pressed forward step by step and forced Yuan Susu against the pillar of the corridor. He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the pillar, his crow feathers drooping lightly, and a cunning look appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"The princess has done something she shouldn't have done," Shen Rang sneered, his lips curling up in an imperceptible arc. "Are you feeling guilty?"
Su Su was breathing rapidly and nervously, and her palms were sweating.
She was so burned by Shen Rang's gaze that she wanted to dodge. Yuan Susu's eyes slowly moved downwards until...
When Yuan Susu passed by Chen Rang's thin lips, an idea slowly emerged from the bottom of her heart...
Her breath tickled his face. Seeing how frightened she was, Shen Rang lost interest. He frowned and stood up impatiently...
Suddenly, a slightly cool hand grabbed his clothes, and the next moment his lips were covered with a cherry red with a watery sheen. The person sucked awkwardly, causing a tingling sensation on the back of his neck.
The kiss was short.
After Yuan Susu left, her eyes drooped slightly. She breathed slowly with a shy look on her face, and her back was already wet with cold sweat.
But she just felt that she was disgusting to the end, so she continued to raise her eyes and tease Shen Rang, saying: "Master Shen...you are very kissable."
Sure enough, the corners of Shen Rang's eyes slowly turned scarlet, and his face looked gloomy.
His throat moved for a moment, but the word "impudent" seemed unable to come out.
[Ding Dong, Favorability +20]
She was shocked to find out that this smoldering man was straight...
He's good at this!
Su Su's eyes lit up slightly, indicating that I can still offer ten more kisses~
Seeing that Su Su was still unsatisfied and wanted to come back, Shen Rang turned his head and threw the letter to her.
His tone became distant, without the obsession that had been lingering in his dark eyes just now. His voice was hoarse:
"Yuan Jiyin, you've overstepped your bounds!"
Suddenly, Shen Rang looked around, frowned, turned around and said abruptly: "I still have official business to attend to. I'll take my leave."
Su Su clenched the letter, closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the area around her was crowded with people, just like a film set.
So embarrassing!
Su Su covered her face and left with her head down.
I only heard Cui Cui say a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, you are going in the wrong direction."
Yuan Susu was even more devastated when Cuicui punctured her disguise. She covered her panic with her anger and pouted, "You tell me? How could I not know?!"
Back in the study, Susu left behind her two most trusted people, Cuicui and Aunt Jin.
Yuan Susu opened the letter and looked at the illogical and nonsensical words written on the letter paper. Then she asked the two of them to take a look.
The two of them were in a dilemma now, because His Highness usually discussed his correspondence with Master Xu in the mansion.
Aunt Jin pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "This matter...we servants don't know either. Your Highness and Prince Anyang's letter were originally discussed with Master Xu in the study."
His Highness and that person often communicated using Snowball. Aunt Jin guessed that Snowball was a fierce bird of prey that dominated the grassland.
The person who can communicate with His Highness must be someone His Highness trusts and is familiar with. The entire Great Zhou who occupies the grassland is also someone who is familiar with His Highness.
Apart from the eldest princess' uncle, Prince Anyang Yuanchan, Aunt Jin couldn't think of anyone else.
"Prince Anyang, the villain." Su Su racked her brains after looking at the note, but could only confirm from the page of the script she had read and her observations at the scene that the eldest princess Yuan Jiyin had actually been corresponding with the uncle prince stationed at the border.
"Who is Mr. Xu?"
Cuicui said, "Mr. Xu is your highness's staff member."
"Just a staff member?" Su Su didn't believe it.
Cuicui was very sure: "He is really just an aide to His Highness. His Highness has never favored him."
Yuan Susu heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this: "Tell him to come see me."
After a moment, a man with a decent appearance knelt down and said, "I have heard that you are here to pay your respects to Your Highness."
"Stand up," Yuan Susu said, not showing any influence on this person. "Master Xu, please sit down."
When Xu Congwen was about to sit down, he glanced at the letters placed on the prince's rosewood desk and the two people who were still standing beside the prince and had no intention of leaving.
He suddenly said coldly, "I am discussing matters with His Highness. Anyone who is not here should leave immediately."
When Susu and he were the only ones left in the room, she felt a little awkward and wanted to quickly resolve this thorny and confusing letter: "Master Xu, I received this today."
After Xu Congwen took it, he just took a look and was about to take the next step when suddenly a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
His voice was cold and unconcealed, "I heard that Your Highness has lost his memory?"
Yuan Susu didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably uneasy when interacting with this man. Xu Congwen looked like a very well-behaved and polite scholar.
But for some reason, Susu felt inexplicably a little scared of him.
I feel that there is danger hidden beneath his respectful appearance.
She knew that the more she said, the more mistakes she made, so she just nodded slightly: "Yeah, there are some things I can't remember."
Suddenly, Su Su clearly caught the vigilance slowly rising in Xu Congwen's eyes.
Xu Congwen suddenly raised his head, his eyes as dark as a pool of water, and he said, "Your Highness, we must not make any mistakes in what we are planning."
Yuan Susu was so nervous that she choked with sobs. She couldn't show her weakness and couldn't let this person realize that she was not Yuan Jiyin at all.
The Xu Congwen in front of him should not be Yuan Jiyin's man, but was sent by King Anyang to supervise in the name of assistance.
After all, when it comes to something that could cost you your life, no one dares to completely trust the other person.
"I promised my uncle that I would never run away from the battlefield. I just forgot some unimportant things..." She paused and seeing that Xu Congwen did not suspect anything, she acted out the cold and oppressive feeling more realistically.
"What? Lord Xu doesn't believe me?" Yuan Susu raised her eyebrows, and her upturned fox eyes suddenly shrank and her chin raised slightly, with a threatening look.
After hearing Yuan Susu's words, Xu Congwen knelt down and said, "It's not that I don't believe Your Highness, please forgive me."
After he said that, he stood up and walked to Su Su's desk. He took out a fire starter from his bosom and heated the bottom of the letter paper. Then a line of handwriting appeared from the blank space on the side.
It says: Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
This means... urging her.
Susu's throat tightened, she clutched the corner of her clothes and tried to calm herself down, not to show any fear or panic.
Seeing Xu Congwen about to speak, Yuan Susu preemptively asked, "What does Lord Xu think?"
Xu Congwen was slightly surprised, then said, "Liangzhou and Yanbei have been fighting for so many years. Now that Yanbei's new emperor has ascended the throne, his foundation is unstable, he is facing internal and external troubles, and his military strength is declining. At the same time, Marquis Xie has sent 50,000 reinforcements from the southern border to help Liangzhou's fierce attack."
He slowed down and said in a deep voice, "I think this battle will be a great victory."
So that's how it is. Since Prince Anyang is about to return victoriously, I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left to escape.
She didn't want to stay in Shangjing, a place full of troubles, at all. Yuan Susu originally thought that she had enough time to slowly explore the political situation.
Who would have thought that just a few days after entering the book, the countdown to life would have begun?
"Then... Lord Xu, what do you think I should do now?"
Xu Congwen's brows knitted unconsciously for a moment: "Your Highness, have you even forgotten this?"
"Click" Su Su's heart suddenly stopped due to nervousness. She also experienced internal and external troubles.
Why does everyone seem to be rushing her to death?!
Yuan Susu summoned her rare confidence: "How could I have forgotten? However, even though Lord Xu is the emperor's uncle's man, he is still staying in Shangjing, staying by my side and giving me advice..."
Seeing Xu Congwen choked by these words, she let out a sigh, and when she looked up again, her expression was full of majesty: "If Lord Xu feels that this temple of mine is too small to accommodate a Buddha like you, I can send you back to Liangzhou right now. Come!"
Suddenly, the Jinwu Guards filed in, their murderous intent mingling with the candlelight in the study, which hung by a thread, and...
Light and darkness intertwined on Yuan Susu's beautiful and even sharp face.
Xu Congwen broke out in a cold sweat on his back and looked up.
Su Su imitated Shen Rang's usual majesty and coldness, which slowly gathered on Xu Congwen's face.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I did not intend to do so." Xu Congwen realized that he had been worrying too much when he saw that familiar look in his eyes. "Your Highness, although the military power of the Eight Battalions has been lost, we still have our trump card. Now we just need to wait and see what happens."
After Yuan Susu understood what he said, she stood up and paused when she walked past Xu Congwen. Her eyes caught a glimpse of the scimitar worn on the waist of the Jinwu Guard.
Su Su suddenly had an idea that could completely shock him and make him stop being suspicious of her:
"I know that Lord Xu is a wise man. From now on, I hope that what happened tonight will never happen again."
Suddenly, the knife was unsheathed and a white light flashed across Xu Congwen's eyes. With a "clang", it fell at his feet as the princess left.
"Your Highness, I respectfully...see you off." Xu Congwen's voice trembled and he fell to the ground.
After returning to the bedroom, Su Su suddenly leaned against the door frame and gasped for breath. Even though she had just left the study, she did not dare to relax at all.
Her palms were already soaked with cold sweat. After closing her eyes and calming down, Su Su looked at Aunt Jin and shook her head, saying, "It's okay."
What happened tonight made Susu completely decide to leave Shangjing, a place full of troubles. Not only was Chen Rang sinister and cunning outside, but Xu Congwen was also testing her in every way inside.
Only when I return to my own fiefdom can I feel a little at ease.
"I want to leave Beijing and return to my fiefdom."
Yuan Susuxu squinted his eyes, feeling extremely tired. He lay on the nanmu rocking chair inlaid with snails and let his mind fantasize.
When I leave Shangjing, I will not get involved in your struggle for imperial power. I will happily eat, drink and have fun in my house, and then I will seduce Lin Zhuo to be my son-in-law.
Let’s have a few years of happy and loving days!
Wait for the plot to develop, then go home happily!
By then... the person who will probably be most reluctant to leave is my handsome 'husband'.
Cuicui broke Susu's fantasy: "But Your Highness, you are not married yet."
Yuan Susu didn't care: "So what?"
"If Your Highness wants a fiefdom, he'll need to get married first before distributing it," Cuicui said, massaging Susu's legs. "Besides, General Xie is away on the campaign. How can he come back and marry Your Highness for at least a year or two?"
Su Su was completely bewildered. "Who is General Xie? What does he have to do with my marriage? How much of a gift do I have to expect from him? What a joke! I can't get married without him."
"The husband chosen by the late emperor for you is Xie Heng, the son of Marquis Xie!"
Su Su's damn memory finally recovered a little bit. She vaguely remembered that when she joined the crew, the male lead of the drama was Xie Heng, the second male lead was Chen Rang, and her Lin Zhiyue was the third male lead Lin Zhuo!
God wants to kill me!
"I used to... like Xie Heng?"
Cuicui shook her head.
"So...we are in love with each other?"
Cuicui nodded and then suddenly shook her head.
"Why are those two enemies getting together? Are they doing it out of hatred?!"
Su Su jumped up and said, "No! The original owner is already so crazy that she has 3,000 male models in her harem. She is capable of doing something even more outrageous!"
"Your Highness...what are you going to do?"
"Cancel the engagement!" Yuan Susu said firmly, "and then force her to marry you!"
