Chapter 15 The King Wants You to Marry Me
Huo Xingzhi's eyes changed slightly, and his dark eyes stared at her quietly.
She seems different from a year ago.
A low, hoarse laugh escaped his throat: "You have admired this prince for many years, Miss Shen is really good at joking."
"If my guess is correct, you came here today to ask me to do something for you."
Su Yuheng lowered his eyes to look at Huo Xingzhi, who was sitting on the chair with an arrogant and majestic look, and found it a little unbelievable.
How come nothing can be hidden from him?
She came today because she really wanted to ask him for help, but he saw through her before she even asked.
She walked up to Huo Xingzhi and bowed.
"Since Your Highness has guessed my identity, Yuheng no longer wants to lie. I only ask Your Highness Prince Li to lend a helping hand."
"If Your Highness can help me, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness in this life, without hesitation."
Huo Xingzhi slowly leaned over, his deep gaze falling on her delicate and exquisite face.
She was very beautiful, and even her breath had a faint scent of peach blossoms.
"You're willing to go through fire and water for this king?"
He stretched out his slender fingers and gently pinched Su Yuheng's jaw.
The girl tilted her head slightly, and her shallow breathing made it seem a little unreal.
Inside the slightly opened lips is a bewitching tongue.
The two people's hot breathing sounds intertwined.
Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice light.
"I don't need you to go through fire and water for me."
"This king has other requests."
Su Yuheng bit her lip and met Huo Xingzhi's dark eyes.
"What does Your Highness request?"
He loosened his slender fingers, his brows calm.
"This king wants you to marry me."
Su Yuheng was stunned. She and Huo Xingzhi had only met a few times at Princess Chaoyang's residence.
At that time, she was so afraid of Huo Xingzhi that she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
But at that time, Huo Xingzhi's eyes kept wandering over her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Now he asked her to marry him?
Could it be that he was really the one in the White Horse Temple a year ago?
The two people's breathing intertwined, making it unclear.
Even breathing became tense.
"What? You don't want to?" Huo Xingzhi frowned and observed her expression quietly.
It came so suddenly that Su Yuheng was a little dazed.
"No, Your Highness is in a high position of power. How dare a servant ask for anything?"
Huo Xingzhi looked at her.
After a long silence, he reached out his hand to her.
"Why not?"
"Come."
Su Yuheng was somewhat surprised by Huo Xingzhi's actions.
Her eyes fell on Huo Xingzhi's delicate and handsome face.
The man had no expression on his face, his deep eyes looking at him quietly.
Looking at his outstretched hand, Su Yuheng still reached out tentatively.
When the slender fingers like white jade just touched his broad hand.
The man gently pulled her whole body into his arms.
His breathing suddenly quickened.
Before Su Yuheng could react, he felt his lips suddenly soften.
Huo Xingzhi leaned over and kissed her deeply on the lips.
She grabbed his collar tightly, climbed onto his shoulders, and entangled with him in his arms.
He didn't let her go until she was suffocated by his kiss.
Su Yuheng covered his chest and breathed softly, then turned around and looked at Huo Xingzhi in disbelief.
"us……"
Huo Xingzhi let her go from his arms.
He raised his eyebrows: "Of course, they hooked up."
He asked, "What do you want today?"
Su Yuheng said, "Please give me an arrow."
"Arrows?" Huo Xingzhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing with arrows, a girl? What kind of arrows?"
Su Yuheng took a deep breath and said, "The arrows used by the Golden Feather Guards, the secret guards of Prince Qi's palace."
Huo Xingzhi's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly.
He put down the teacup, his dark eyes fixed on the girl before him, and said meaningfully, "Beneath this alluring exterior lies a heart that I cannot fathom."
"This king will prepare it for you."
Su Yuheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Huo Xingzhi say this.
"Your Highness Prince Xie Li."
She didn't expect that Huo Xingzhi's big tree was really good for providing shade.
For her, as long as she could avenge the Shen family, what would be the harm in getting close to him?
She was just curious. In her previous life, she had been a ghost for ten years. After seeing Huo Xingzhi's figure, she was reborn for no reason.
Huo Xingzhi is in a high position and has great power, and she wants to borrow his influence.
"Your Highness, please don't ask me what I am doing with the arrows used by the King of Qi's Golden Feather Guards?"
Huo Xingzhi curled his lips and said, "I don't want to ask, I just want to see how you play a good game of chess."
"Bai Ze, send the girl back." As Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, Bai Ze pushed the door open and walked in front of Su Yuheng.
"Miss Su Si, I will escort you back to the mansion."
Su Yuheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Guard Bai."
Su Yuheng followed Bai Ze out the door. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and glanced at Huo Xing.
The man stared at her with his deep eyes, as if trying to see through her.
She turned around and left Yipinlou without looking back.
After leaving Yipinlou, Su Yuheng took the maid Bai Lu to the Shen family of the General Zhenguo Mansion. After seeing the poison in Shen Wan's body, he hurriedly left and went to the Su family.
At sunset, when Su Yuheng returned to the Su family, Su Yanqiu had not returned yet.
Not long after she returned to her room and was about to lie down on the couch to rest for a while, she heard a faint sound of footsteps from the north side of the room.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a black-clad guard coming in from the north window.
"who!"
"I'm here to deliver arrows." The speaker was a woman who was dressed in black and had a slim figure. It was obvious that she had good martial arts skills.
Huo Xingzhi's people.
"My name is Linglong, and I'm here to deliver arrows to our prince."
After Linglong finished speaking, she took out an arrow. Su Yuheng looked at the arrow. The arrowhead was extremely sharp and golden in color. There was also a strange symbol on the arrowhead.
Linglong said, "The prince said that the arrows used by the Golden Feather Guards in Prince Qi's mansion are only the arrowheads and other arrows. If you want to take action at the Spring Banquet, you must carefully keep these arrows."
Su Yuheng was a little surprised. Could Huo Xingzhi even guess this?
Knowing that she was going to take action at the Spring Banquet.
She reached out and took the arrow from Linglong's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness is thoughtful."
She walked to the cabinet, opened a box, and took out a white jade pendant. On the jade pendant was a line of words engraved: "We will meet again every year."
She closed the box and walked in front of Linglong.
"Could you please give this jade pendant to the prince on my behalf and tell him that this is Yuheng's only wish in this life."
Linglong nodded: "This servant will pass it to the prince on behalf of the young lady."
After Linglong walked away, Su Yuheng let out a long sigh.
"Tomorrow is the Spring Festival Banquet. I wonder if my good brother will send me to the King of Qi's bed again?"
"But, my good brother, I will give you a great gift tomorrow."
Qingfeng Courtyard.
"Prince, my cousin is here."
When Liu Jinshu was brought to Su Yanqiu's room, he was trembling with fear.
She looked at Su Yanqiu sitting on the chair, and thought of everything that happened in the Su family ancestral hall last night.
"Second...cousin, did you call me here for something important?" Liu Jinshu didn't dare to look at Su Yanqiu's expression.
Although Su Yanqiu had a face as bright as the breeze and the moon, it was so gloomy that it made her feel cold all over.
"Sit down." Su Yanqiu's voice was gentle and calm, without any of the paranoia and terror that he had in the Su family ancestral hall yesterday.
Liu Jinshu sat tremblingly opposite Su Yanqiu, his whole body shaking.
She reached out and grabbed her dress, not daring to look Su Yanqiu in the eye.
Su Yanqiu raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips and said softly, "Sister, why do you look like this when you see your brother?"
"No." Liu Jinshu explained quickly.
Su Yanqiu said: "Jinshu, you are my biological sister from the same mother. Second brother will not kill you."
"Brother has been busy with work these past few days. I haven't even seen you once since you returned to the Marquis' Mansion. I feel like I owe you something."
Liu Jinshu: "Second brother, it's Jinshu's fault. Jinshu shouldn't have disobeyed you and shouldn't have been jealous of Yuheng."
"I'm glad you're not angry with your brother." After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the tray on the table next to him.
On the tray was a light blue Yundai skirt, which was exquisitely crafted and very valuable.
"Tomorrow is the Spring Festival Banquet. This Yundai skirt is carefully prepared for you by my second brother. See if you like it."
Liu Jinshu picked up Yun Dai's skirt, stroked it for a moment, and a look of pleasure appeared on his face.
"This is the finest Jiangnan material."
