Pingting was slightly surprised, but she quickly understood. Songdu was at war with Jizhou. If Xiao Lin and Chang'an were to become estranged, then Jizhou would win without a fight.
only......
"This matter is truly beyond my control," she said in a low voice. "The inner palace should not interfere in politics."
If Xiao Lin were a guileless person, perhaps I could have used some sweet talk in his ear, but unfortunately Xiao Lin is not.
Su Qian suddenly reached out and grasped Pingting's hand, "Then forget it."
She pulled her along and walked forward, saying, "Don't you want to leave yet?"
"If Su Xin goes with that prime minister, your situation will become even more dangerous."
Pingting felt a warmth in her heart. "I'm fine."
Su Qian looked at her disapprovingly and said, "Why should a beauty like you suffer? Why don't you come home with me?"
Shang Tian: "..." Why did he feel something was off about those words?
Pingting stiffened. "Miss..."
If she goes to Jizhou with Su Qian, wouldn't she see Li Zai?
"Is he alright?" she asked somewhat nervously.
Su Qian nodded, "It's great, what's wrong with it?"
For Su Qian, being able to eat her fill and stay warm was the best life she could have.
Little did they know the inner turmoil Li Zai was experiencing.
Shang Tian coughed twice, and seeing the two looking at him, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Li Zai misses you very much. If you have nothing to do, you can come back with us to see him."
Pingting turned around, gave Shang Tian a slight curtsy, and said, "Thank you, young master, but this servant is of lowly status..."
Su Qian couldn't stand her talking and interrupted her, saying, "If you miss him, then come with us."
We have enough food.
Pingting looked at Su Qian with some surprise, "Ji Prefecture has... a sufficient amount of grain?"
Shang Tian frowned slightly. "If you don't want to come back with us, it's better if you don't know."
Pingting chuckled, "It was this servant who overstepped her bounds."
"Why don't you just come with us?" Su Qian still wanted to persuade him one more time.
"I've grown accustomed to this life of luxury and fine clothes, and I'm afraid I can't leave it."
Su Qian pouted and said, "You're lying. We can guess how much food is left in the palace."
You've lost weight since the last time I saw you.
Pingting released Su Qian's hand, took two steps back, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I will definitely take care of things for you."
Su Qian: "......" ⊙0⊙
Did she misunderstand something?
Shang Tian frowned and said to Su Qian, "Qian, I will personally talk to Xiao Lin about this matter. As for you, carry her back to Jizhou."
Su Qian was very happy with Shang Tian's arrangement. "Great!" she said.
She turned to look at Pingting and asked, "Is there anything else you want to pack?"
Pingting was extremely surprised; it turned out that Su Qian really had no intention of using her.
But once she arrives in Jizhou, how will she face Li Zai and Li Xi?
She shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I..."
"Since you have nothing to pack, I'll take you away now." Su Qian didn't give her a chance to refuse, grabbed her, and tried to slip away.
"Miss!" Pingting cried out anxiously, "I can't leave!" What would happen to Fuliu if she left?
Su Qian looked at her in confusion and said, "You have to come with us. What are you going to do? Hurry up." After thinking for a moment, she added, "This is kidnapping, not a dinner party."
Yes, that's it.
Su Qian was quite satisfied with her new excuse. Since it was a kidnapping, Pingting wouldn't be allowed to stay.
