Su An's mind went blank for a moment, and she looked at He Cheng in disbelief.
With the guards lying in ambush, what else is there to be confused about?
This is to lure Fu Zhun here, and then trap him like a turtle in a jar!
Su An couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "What kind of daydream are you having? You actually think I would help you commit evil!"
Enraged by her sarcastic gaze, He Cheng raised his hand and slapped Su An across the face.
Su An's cheeks instantly swelled up, and blood gushed from his cracked lips.
But she kept her back straight and met He Cheng's gaze with a cold smile, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't write it."
Su An didn't know if Fu Zhun could find her, but she knew that if she wrote a letter to lure Fu Zhun here, then this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place, which had already been ambushed, would definitely cause Fu Zhun heavy losses!
If Fu Zhun were to fall into a trap, not only would he be unable to save himself, but he would also be dragged down with him.
"Well, you really are infatuated with that cripple!"
The more she acted this way, the more frustrated and angry He Cheng felt. "I'll see how long you can hold out."
He casually pointed to a few guards in the back row and ordered them to step forward. "You all come here and have some fun with this stubborn bitch who would rather die than submit. Take turns with her until she gives in!"
What?
Su An's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his eyes widened in shock.
That damn scumbag! How could he be so insidious and despicable, using such humiliating tactics!
Seeing the guards' eyes light up as they rushed towards him, Su An roared in fury, "How dare you!"
She gritted her teeth and glared at He Cheng, "He Cheng, you're the first person to be so despicable, shameless, and vile."
"But don't forget, whose body is this!"
He Cheng's breathing became heavy, but the struggle in his eyes was only fleeting.
As long as it can help His Majesty get rid of Fu Zhun, this major threat, what does Xiao An's health matter!
"You wicked devil, you think you can threaten me like this?!" He glared at Su An with a sinister grin. "You're the one who's possessing this body now, so even if you're the one being humiliated, it's only you who's being insulted. In my heart, Xiao An is still innocent!"
"And you will become a withered flower, a piece of trash despised by everyone, suffering for the rest of your life!"
"What are you all standing there for? Come and have some fun with this bitch!"
Seeing He Cheng's unbridled demeanor, Su An's heart skipped a beat.
But she quickly calmed down, suppressing her trembling, and revealed a haughty and mocking smile, saying, "Have you thought this through? In Fuyou County, I have already been betrothed to His Majesty as a concubine. I will enter the harem as soon as I return to Baiyujing."
"You dare touch His Majesty's woman? You must have a death wish! If you're not afraid of death, then try touching one of my fingers!"
Upon hearing this, the guards who were about to step forward exchanged glances and dared not move.
His Majesty visited Fuyou County twice because of this woman; who doesn't know that?
If that's the case, wouldn't they be trying to take advantage of the future favored concubine?
Several heads wouldn't be enough to lose; this would mean the extermination of nine generations of their family!
Seeing this, He Cheng was furious. His face contorted with rage, he kicked Su An, yelling, "How dare you use Xiao An's body to arrange a marriage with someone else! You're ruining her reputation!"
Others might find these words confusing, but to Su An, they sounded incredibly ironic.
She raised her pale face, looking at He Cheng with a half-smile, "You know perfectly well who ruined her reputation, so why deceive yourself and act hypocritically?"
"Just say it this way, and you'll feel better!"
"Damn bitch, shut up!" He Cheng was furious and kicked Su An hard, sending her flying in front of several guards.
"Are you all useless? Go get her!"
“Your Excellency, this is not a good idea…” the guards said hesitantly.
They're not stupid. It's one thing for Su An to have a close relationship with the Prince of Zhenbei, but now he's also having an affair with the Emperor.
This is undoubtedly a drama of an emperor and a powerful minister vying for a woman!
Who wouldn't be afraid of death to touch it?
He Cheng's face turned bright red. He drew his soft sword and, without saying a word, slit the throat of the guard who had spoken!
He surveyed the remaining terrified guards, "Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be treated as a traitor!"
"Now, does anyone still have any objections?"
The guards swallowed hard, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and repeatedly said they dared not.
Su An couldn't help but shudder. He hadn't expected He Cheng to be so insane, killing his own people to establish his authority!
Under duress, several guards began to slowly approach him.
Su An's heart tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly chose to surrender.
"Wait! You're right. Why should I humiliate myself like this for a cripple? I'm willing to write a letter!"
"What? You!" He Cheng's expression froze, and he instantly felt embarrassed and annoyed at being mocked.
Su An weakly raised her hands, indicating innocently, "I said I've thought it through. Writing a letter is the best solution for both of us. You don't want this body to be humiliated, do you?"
"Let's all be happy then."
It was truly a win-win situation for everyone!
The nearby guards all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly advised, "Yes, envoy, the most urgent matter now is to lure the Prince of Zhenbei here to his death. Don't waste time on these trivial matters!"
"..."
He Cheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable, like he had swallowed a fly. He suppressed his anger and threw the paper and pen heavily at Su An. "Then write it. Don't try any tricks. I'll be watching you personally!"
"How could that be?" Su An gave a fake laugh, then sighed in agreement, putting on an air of "helplessness, don't blame me if you die," before picking up paper and pen to write.
In just a few words, she summarized that she had been kidnapped by He Cheng and the location of the valley where she was, asking Fu Zhun to come and rescue her.
He Cheng stood to the side, staring intently at Su An's writing, his eyes revealing an undisguised greed and anticipation.
Once Fu Zhun is lured here, that will be his chance to make a great contribution!
Little did they know, between the lines, Su An had used those tiny marks to form a coded message: Don't come, danger.
After finishing writing and putting down his pen, He Cheng took it over to examine it closely, but he didn't notice anything amiss.
Su An couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief, his face remaining expressionless, but inwardly he smiled with smug satisfaction.
The order of these codes was something I had mentioned to Fu Zhun when we were practicing calligraphy; Fu Zhun would definitely understand it.
The letter was successfully delivered to Jinzhou.
Outside the courtyard, Fu Zhun stared at the ruins where the fire had been extinguished, without moving.
Just then, a soldier rushed over, his voice filled with surprise and joy: "Your Highness, a letter! Miss Su An is not dead! She has been taken away, and this is a letter from her!"
Fu Zhun's dark eyes flickered for a moment, and he snatched the letter, opening it with trembling hands.
He glanced at the three lines, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he accurately caught the coded message in the letter.
An Yi watched Fu Zhun's reaction from the side and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
"My lord, this letter is surely a trap. He Cheng is treacherous and cunning; it might be a snare. Please reconsider, my lord!"
