Without even thinking, Su Yu immediately replied, "Of course, how could she be compared to you?" After saying that, he chuckled and patted Su Zhenzhen's shoulder before continuing to walk forward.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Su Zhenzhen's eyes welled up with tears, her pretty face beaming with smiles. She leaned over and threw herself into Su Yu's arms, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
“Cousin… I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. You know, I’ve loved you since I was a child…”
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yu instinctively pushed her away with a sudden burst of strength. She quickly composed herself and forced a smile: "I know my cousin's thoughts all too well. The most important thing right now is to arrange the wedding. In my opinion, you should bring this up with the Grand Tutor."
“No problem, my dad has always doted on me the most. From childhood to adulthood, he has never refused me anything I wanted. I believe it will be the same this time. Just wait for the good news at home.” When she mentioned this, Su Zhenzhen’s eyes shone with pride. The love her all-powerful father had for her was always what she was most proud of.
After seeing Su Zhenzhen off, Su Yu went straight back to the Crown Prince's residence and did what he was supposed to do as usual. He knew very well that now was the time for his status as the Crown Prince to come into play. Even if he did nothing, plenty of people would come to him.
Several more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Northern You Kingdom was also in turmoil both inside and outside. Ever since Mu Beichen set off for the border, Mu Feiyu couldn't wait to go to the palace to seize power. With the support of the ministers, she forced Mu Qiye to hand over the national seal. In just a few days, the entire court and country were undergoing earth-shattering changes in the worst way possible.
Because Mu Feiyu's attention was focused on Mu Qiye, the Regent's Palace was not as heavily guarded as usual, even in broad daylight. As a result, several figures quietly passed by on the high walls without anyone noticing.
Soon after, smoke and fire broke out in the backyard, and soon someone was heard shouting for help to put out the fire. Everyone rushed to the backyard at that moment, causing chaos throughout the entire mansion.
However, at this moment, the secret room remained completely silent. Yu Qianqian leaned against the wall, sat on the ground with her eyes closed, and for a moment, she seemed to hear a few voices coming from outside. Out of curiosity, she slightly opened her eyes, only to find that the door to the secret room had been pushed open, and the two guards who were guarding the door had also disappeared.
Several masked men came into view in an instant, and one of them went straight to her and quickly untied the chains.
Yu Qianqian froze for a moment, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Who exactly are you people?"
Pei Hua suddenly raised his hand and ripped off his mask, his emotions a mixture of crying and laughing.
"Qianqian... is us."
He hadn't expected that Yu Qianqian would be tormented so badly by Mu Feiyu. Now, seeing her again, she was almost completely different. He couldn't help but look at her, his expression somewhat abnormal.
Upon seeing Pei Hua, Yu Qianqian was extremely excited and quickly asked, "Uncle Pei? How did you know I was here?"
Composing himself and quickly gathering his scattered thoughts, Pei Hua led her out of the secret room, his arm around hers, and slowly began to speak: "Before leaving, Jing Wang bribed the Regent's confidant and specifically instructed me to keep a close eye on news from the Regent's residence, just in case..."
