Chapter 33 She is really open and honest
"Except for the day I married the late emperor, the day I was crowned empress, and the day Prince Rui was born in my palace, I have never been so happy."
"I heard that you and the son of Prime Minister Lin are collaborating in business. You've recruited many refugees from Qiangzhou to work, providing them with income and greatly assisting the court. I like you very much and now hope to hear you call me Empress Dowager after you marry Prince Rui."
Su Yuyan cleverly responded and thanked the Queen Mother for the reward.
Even though Luo Wuchen was trying his best to restrain himself from looking at her, his eyes had their own thoughts and his gaze fell on her not far away without him noticing.
On this side, Jiang Hanyu, who had finished his government affairs, rushed into the palace as fast as the wind after learning that Su Yuyan had gone to the Queen Mother.
Finally I can meet her by chance...
After confirming that Su Yuyan and Luo Wuchen had left Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother's trusted nanny couldn't help but say.
"Empress Dowager, even I can see that Judge Luo is interested in Miss Su. Will you not come forward and teach him a lesson?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand.
"President Luo is a man of integrity and aloofness. In his many years at the Imperial Hospital, he has never formed an alliance with any concubine for petty gains. Such a modest gentleman has remained unmarried for so many years, yet Miss Su has caught his eye. This shows how talented Miss Su is."
"From our conversation just now, I'm certain that Miss Su is a person of great integrity and principle. Two upright people would not abandon their family and disobey the imperial decree."
After stepping out of Changshou Palace, Su Yuyan sent away the palace servant who was leading her, saying that she knew the way out of the palace and wanted to walk alone and didn't want to be disturbed.
Because she had just felt Luo Wuchen's greedy and passionate gaze, she expected that he would chase her.
Even if her prediction was wrong, she had a photographic memory and knew the way out of the palace.
Sure enough, when Su Yuyan was about to reach the corner of the palace road, she was stopped by a warm and clear voice.
"Miss Su, please stay."
"Recently, Luo has been troubled by a problem all day long. It has reached the point where I can't eat. I hope the young lady can answer my questions and solve my doubts."
Su Yuyan stopped but did not look back.
"you say."
Seeing her stop, Luo Wuchen also stopped far away from her, fearing that his proximity would cause people to make up rumors about her.
"Miss Su, is love at first sight and a short time together a gift or a punishment?"
Su Yuyan answered.
"If you don't get greedy, it's a gift. If you still don't give up, it's a punishment."
"Mr. Luo, the royal majesty is inviolable, and for me, marrying King Rui is the best destination. Stop having any expectations of me. This will protect both yourself and your people."
"I am not a good man, let myself go."
A bitter taste surged in Luo Wuchen's chest, like old rust climbing up his throat, so bitter that it made his throat numb, and so astringent that it made his eyes hot.
"Thank you Miss Su for answering my questions."
After saying this, Luo Wuchen, with red eyes, turned and walked in the opposite direction.
Just as Su Yuyan took another step, she heard a breeze from the opposite direction, carrying the words, "Am I too greedy? But if the heart can be controlled, what is the point of having a heart?"
Su Yuyan, who was most afraid of owing a debt of love, frowned slightly and then continued to move forward.
The slight guilt in her heart caused her to be absent-minded and she bumped into someone head-on as soon as she turned a corner.
To be precise, he crashed into a chest filled with a high-class cold fragrance.
She subconsciously stepped back quickly, trying to keep a distance from the person she hit.
But a strong arm wrapped around her waist and brought her into an embrace.
"There are palace servants passing by behind."
Two palace maids passing by knelt down hurriedly.
"I deserve to die. I almost bumped into Miss Su. Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Rui."
Jiang Hanyu waved his other hand, signaling them to leave.
The fragrance of the beauty in his arms penetrated straight into Jiang Hanyu's heart. A scorching heat spread from his heart to every part of his body, like magma flowing in his blood vessels, burning his breathing and heartbeat.
At this moment, Jiang Hanyu felt as if he was hugging a ball of burning heat like fire.
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yuyan looked up.
What caught my eye was Jiang Hanyu's face, so handsome that it infuriated both humans and gods.
"Are you planning to go to the Queen Mother's palace?"
Jiang Hanyu's magnetic voice sounded.
"Um."
"Miss Su, why are you so absent-minded?"
Su Yuyan came out of his arms.
"Someone fell in love with me at first sight, but I couldn't save him. I don't like to owe debts of love, so I didn't look where I was going just now."
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I am leaving the palace now."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Jiang Hanyu: "..."
She is really open and honest.
"I will escort you out of the palace."
Su Yuyan waved her hand.
"No, I remember the way here."
Looking at her slender back, her frank look and what she had just said to Luo Wuchen, Jiang Hanyu inexplicably felt a hint of sweetness.
He is so principled and has such a bottom line, yet he keeps it hidden.
I am looking forward to the wedding day even more.
As long as he is not married to her in a formal way, he will not have a legitimate reason to be with her.
I had to find opportunities to meet her by chance, and I couldn't even walk side by side with her with a clear conscience.
The wedding date was clearly in five days, but Jiang Hanyu always felt that time was passing too slowly.
This was the first time he experienced what it felt like to be separated from his loved ones by a long time.
After leaving the palace, Su Yuyan went to the inn where Cui Xue was staying temporarily.
"Are you feeling better?"
Cui Xue knelt down and bowed without saying a word.
"Your Excellency has sent Miss Xiu'er to bring me supplements several times, and I am fine now."
"I have heard the news of Qin Feng's death. Thank you for avenging me."
Su Yuyan signaled Xiu'er to help the man up.
"Now that my great revenge has been achieved and I am healthy, I can return home and reunite with my family."
Cui Xue picked up a wooden box from the table and handed it to Su Yuyan.
"Yesterday I received a letter from home saying that the doctor you sent has cured my father. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Since I know you are getting married soon, I have embroidered a double silk handkerchief with a heart knot pattern for you. I hope you will not find this gift too small."
Su Yuyan opened the wooden box, and a square handkerchief made of high-quality material came into view. Next to the exquisite heart-shaped knot pattern were the four words "Forever Together" embroidered on it.
Seeing that she was a grateful person, Su Yuyan spoke again.
"Since it's your blessing, I'll accept it."
"You said before that you were worried your parents would be judged by the neighbors because you were pregnant out of wedlock. Since you care so much about your reputation and what others think, you could write a letter to your family and ask if they'd be willing to come to Kyoto to develop their careers."
"My business will grow in the future, and I will need a lot of manpower. If you want to move to Kyoto, you can live in my farm."
Cui Xue immediately knelt down and kowtowed again.
"Who wouldn't want to move from a small town to live in Kyoto? I'm willing to sign a death contract with you and serve you like a slave."
Su Yuyan gestured again for Xiu'er to help.
"No need for slavery. If you are willing to stay, I will inform Lin Heqing later and he will find someone to arrange jobs for you and your family."
"A miscarriage is harmful to your health. You should rest. I will go back home."
Cui Xue looked at Su Yuyan's back and cried bitterly.
When the news that Su Yuyan made the Queen Mother laugh and that she loved her very much reached the ears of Crown Prince Jiang Huaijin, Jiang Huaijin immediately came up with a plan.
