Chapter 256: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (3)
Lijia Village is backed by Dasongling Mountain. There are many pheasants and rabbits on the mountain, and people often go up the mountain to hunt for a snack.
However, it is just the beginning of spring, the breeding season, and not many people go up the mountain to hunt.
This cave, which is used for people to rest, has been abandoned for a long time.
Su Lingyu hadn't been here for several days and couldn't help but worry.
Has the man woken up? Has anyone found him? I haven't checked on him for several days. Could he have starved to death? Will his death here bring disaster to the village?
When Su Lingyu thought of these problems, she regretted saving the man. She was impulsive at the time, but now thinking about it carefully, she just felt it was troublesome.
The cave was not far from the foot of the mountain and we arrived there quickly.
For some reason, Su Lingyu's heart suddenly started beating very fast.
She slowly approached the cave, looked inside in the sunlight, and paused for a moment. She saw that the person who was supposed to be lying on the haystack had disappeared.
Is he awake?
Su Lingyu frowned and walked in. The cave was not big and could be seen at a glance. There was no sign of the man, and the haystack was a little messy. It was hard to tell whether he left on his own after waking up or encountered some other accident.
The few dry food she had left were scattered on the ground, with traces of being gnawed by mice, and the half-filled basin of water also looked dirty.
Seeing this, Su Lingyu felt embarrassed.
She was indeed too careless and even forgot to change the water. Put yourself in that person's shoes. He woke up seriously injured, with no one to take care of him, and he didn't even have food or water. He was covered in wounds. It was obvious that they wanted him to starve to death.
Su Lingyu simply tidied up the cave and decided to wait here.
Maybe that person went out to find food and will be back soon.
Unfortunately, the wait was in vain.
Su Lingyu regretfully gave up waiting and planned to leave a letter to inform the person of the situation. If the person had any gratitude in his heart, he should not do anything to harm Sujia Village.
Just about to start writing...
Su Lingyu stopped and frowned deeply.
She can't write ancient characters.
As for the original owner, it’s not that he can’t write ancient characters, but that he can’t write a single character at all.
After traveling through time, she became illiterate?
…
While the heroine put learning to read on the agenda, Su Yu also arrived in the capital city leisurely.
The Prince of Jin's Mansion is located on the street closest to the Imperial Palace. The mansion was bestowed by the emperor, with red doors, green tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners, and is extremely luxurious. The two stone lions at the door are very imposing.
Through the car curtain, Su Yu's eyes were filled with amazement, as if she was shocked speechless by the scene before her.
"Is this the palace? The gate is more magnificent than the gate of the official's house in our town."
The maid who was sent to serve Su Yu laughed in her heart: She is indeed a country girl, a bumpkin, she can't take her eyes off seeing this. The palace is more luxurious than the outside. When she enters the palace, won't she be blinded by the dazzle?
"Young lady, please stop saying such things. The prince is a prince, a descendant of the royal family, and has a noble status. How can a mere official compare himself to the prince? If this gets out, people will probably laugh their heads off."
Su Yu: "But I am telling the truth."
The maid smiled, and the contempt in her eyes was unconsciously revealed: "Young lady grew up in the countryside, it's normal for her not to understand these things, but now is different from the past. When you enter the palace, you must get rid of your old vulgar habits and learn the rules well, so as not to accidentally anger the master and lose your life."
Su Yu's porcelain-white face wrinkled and she looked at her unhappily: "I won't lose my life. Zhao Ce brought me to the capital to repay his kindness. How could someone kill his savior?"
Hearing Su Yu's address, the maid was horrified: "You actually called the prince by his name?"
Su Yu looked at her strangely: "Zhao Ce asked me to call you that."
In Su Yu's limited life, the highest-ranking official she had ever come into contact with was the county magistrate. On the contrary, she did not have much respect for the royal bloodline and princely status that seemed to be far away from her.
Maybe there was some difference at the beginning, but Zhao Ce was so approachable that she felt that big shots were no different from ordinary people.
The maid's face showed even more horror.
The carriage slowly passed by the gate of the palace, showing no sign of stopping.
"Aren't we already there? Why don't you stop?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask.
The maid looked confused and explained, "Only the prince and the nobles can go through the main gate. We have to go through the side gate..."
"Stop the car!" Su Yu shouted directly outside the carriage without waiting for the maid to finish her words.
The driver subconsciously stopped the carriage.
The leader of the guards stepped forward and asked, "What do you want, young lady?"
Su Yu: "I want to go through the main entrance!"
The leader frowned: "This is against the rules."
"I am the prince's savior, why can't I go through the main entrance?"
Su Yu just has little experience, but she is not stupid. Since the main door is for people of noble status, the side door is for people of low status.
"Zhao Ce promised to take me to the capital and let me live a good life. Why can't I go through the main gate?"
When the head guard heard Su Yu addressing the prince, he was also shocked.
"I am just following the rules."
"I don't care about the rules. I'm the prince's savior. Is this how you treat me? Be careful or I'll tell the prince and make you all lose your heads!"
Su Yu imitated the behavior of the yamen runners she had seen in the county town before, and used the power of others to threaten others.
The chief guard felt annoyed. She was really from the countryside and acted like a unreasonable country girl. If he knew the prince's attitude, how could he allow her to make trouble here?
"What happened up front?"
Zhao Ce had just come out of the palace and saw the commotion outside the palace from afar. His dark brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The servant said cautiously: "The carriage in front looks like it belongs to our palace."
Zhao Ce glanced sideways, his smile not reaching his eyes: "What I want to ask is what happened before. If you don't want your ears, just cut them off."
The servant's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Until Zhao Ce called out to stop, the servant kept knocking.
It was not until his forehead bled and the ground was stained red that Zhao Ce spoke compassionately: "Alright, get up."
"Your Highness, please spare my life!" The servant lowered his head, his body trembling.
Zhao Ce said impatiently, "Why, do you want me to treat you?"
The servant shuddered again: "Yes, I will go over and find out what happened."
Zhao Ce hummed through his nose.
The servant tentatively climbed up and looked up quietly. He met a pair of gentle but emotionless phoenix eyes. He was frightened to death and quickly lowered his head, rolling and crawling forward, looking extremely embarrassed.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, and not aggressive, and he is very much trusted by His Majesty.
Only people in the palace know that Zhao Ce is a Jade-faced Devil with unpredictable moods. You don’t know when he wrote your name in the Book of Life and Death.
Not long after, the servant came back.
"Your Highness, there is a woman outside the palace who claims to be your savior and insisted on entering the palace through the main gate. She was in a stalemate with the guards and started a quarrel."
As he said this, the servant wiped the blood that was about to flow to the corner of his eye, thinking of the stunning glimpse he had just had.
The woman was really beautiful, but her words and actions were very rude. The noble ladies in the capital all spoke in a soft voice, and even if they really wanted to make threats, they would smile but hide a knife behind their smiles. They would appear to be friendly on the surface, but would actually do all kinds of things to trip you up behind your back.
No one would shout at the top of her voice like she did, asking the prince to chop off their heads.
"Savior?"
Zhao Ce took a while to react and then he suddenly said, "It's her."
