Chapter 285: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (32)
Zhao Sheng did not restrain himself, but became even more proud: "Why, are you heartbroken?"
Zhao Ce looked at him coldly.
Zhao Sheng suddenly came up with an idea. He stretched out his arms and pulled Su Yu into his arms. He suppressed the woman's panicked struggle and looked at Zhao Ce provocatively: "What now?"
There was murderous intent brewing in Zhao Ce's eyes.
Zhao Sheng sneered: "Zhao Ce, I brought you here to let you see with your own eyes. Your palace was surrounded by my soldiers, your study was smashed into pieces by me, and your woman was...ah——"
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Sheng screamed and was kicked half a meter away, hitting the pillar heavily.
Zhao Ce said in a cold voice: "Have you said enough now?"
The scene was silent, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Su Yu stood there blankly, seemingly frightened.
Even in this situation, Zhao Ce didn't even look at her for a second, as if he was really heartbroken by her and decided to ignore her.
Zhao Sheng's exasperated voice broke the silence: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you help me up?"
Pause button to restart.
Zhao Ce was held down by two people, fearing that what happened just now would happen again.
"Your Majesty!"
The guards brought by Zhao Sheng hurried over to help him up.
After he stood firm, Zhao Sheng brushed them off and cursed, "A bunch of rubbish!"
He glared at Zhao Ce coldly: "You are still so arrogant when you are about to die?"
"But you can only be arrogant tonight. When I present the things I found in your house to my father, you can expect Concubine Shu to cry at your grave."
He turned and glanced at the guard leader in the rain: "Did you find anything you asked someone to dig in the garden? Why are you so slow?"
The guard commander said: "I have sent someone to urge them."
The commander of the guards was not from Prince An's mansion, but the leader of a group of imperial guards in the capital. The emperor specially assigned him to Zhao Sheng to investigate the case.
The commander of the guards lowered his head and frowned slightly. Although he didn't know why Prince An was so sure that there was something in the garden, it would be better to end this matter as soon as possible.
Seeing the two princes at loggerheads, the commander of the guards got a headache. He always liked to protect himself, so how could he be inexplicably involved in the fight between the princes?
After a long time, the rain became heavier.
Several people covered in mud came back with shovels and said, "Your Majesty, we found nothing."
Zhao Sheng frowned fiercely: "Impossible!"
He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Ce: "Did you do it?"
Zhao Ce looked back calmly, his thin lips slightly curled: "Guess."
Zhao Sheng clenched his fists.
It must be him. No wonder I couldn’t contact the maid. He must have been exposed and discovered by Zhao Ce.
What a bunch of trash!
"It doesn't matter. The charge of colluding with foreign enemies and conspiring with the enemy country is enough to punish you."
Zhao Sheng held the letter in his hand and his spirits rose again.
Su Yu, who knew the contents of the envelope: "..."
Su Yu had a complicated expression. She didn't dare to imagine how the emperor would react when he saw the contents. She glanced at Prince An who seemed to be unaware of anything, and mourned for him in her heart for a second.
Zhao Ce curled his lips: "You can try."
If Zhao Sheng had been calmer, he would have discovered that Zhao Ce's reaction was very abnormal. Unfortunately, he was so overwhelmed by the impending victory that he did not notice anything unusual.
After getting the things, Zhao Sheng glanced at Su Yu, who was shocked and had red eyes, and said kindly: "Little village girl, do you understand the situation?"
Su Yu bit her lip and said nothing.
Zhao Sheng didn't care and seduced him, "When you have thought it through, come to Prince An's mansion to find me anytime. Since you are so beautiful, I will not mind your identity and innocence and reward you as a concubine."
Su Yu glared at him: "You are shameless!"
Even when he's angry, he's still likable.
Zhao Sheng chuckled and said mockingly, "You are too stupid."
"Let's go."
Following Zhao Sheng's order, the people who broke into the Prince of Jin's Mansion retreated. Zhao Ce was detained in the middle and would soon be imprisoned back in the Zongzheng Temple. His final fate could only be known by waiting for the emperor's order.
Su Yu chased after him for a few steps. Her hair was wet by the rain and stuck to her cheeks. She couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears: "Zhao Ce..."
Zhao Ce paused for a moment.
He heard someone behind him whisper, "…I'm sorry."
The rain was falling heavily and the cold air was penetrating into my body.
Su Yu's body trembled slightly, her face was as pale as paper. Her previous liveliness was completely destroyed by what happened tonight, and she looked a little broken.
The maid hurried over to hold an umbrella for her: "Miss, let's go back quickly, be careful not to get sick."
It's not that the maid is indifferent, she really has no choice. The prince is so powerful but he has been captured. She is a servant and can do nothing. She can only serve her master well and wait for her fate in the future.
"Wait." Zhao Ce suddenly spoke.
"I want to speak to her alone."
Zhao Sheng turned around with a sneer and said, "Have you forgotten your identity? What right do prisoners have to make demands? Unless——"
He smiled in a way that made him want a beating: "Please beg me."
"Please." Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward and spoke for Zhao Ce, "Please, please let us talk alone."
The task progress bar is actually going up!
Su Yu gradually became irritable. It must be because there were other people here. She wanted to talk to the hero alone and see how she could hurt his heart. She didn't believe that her anger wouldn't grow.
Zhao Ce: “…”
Zhao Sheng: “…”
The fine rain hits the leaves, making a tinkling sound. If it were a different scene, it would certainly be extremely comfortable and wonderful.
Unfortunately, there was only a messy study room and a man and a woman who seemed to have a grudge against each other.
Su Yu spoke first: "I'm sorry."
Zhao Ce's eyes were dark and calm as he waited for her next words.
Su Yu cried, "I really didn't know he wanted to harm you, nor did I know he was Prince An. He came to me in Wuweizhai and asked me to steal your seal. He also went back on his word and asked me to hide the letter in your study. He forced me to do it. I'm really sorry."
Su Yu burst into tears, and if you listened carefully to her words, you could tell that she did repent, but more often than not, she was shirking responsibility, putting all the blame on Zhao Sheng in order to find peace of mind.
Zhao Ce: "So, you do what he tells you to do?"
Su Yu's crying stopped: "I, I...he forced me to..."
"What can he use to force you? You have only been in the capital for two or three months. What leverage can he have in his hands?"
Su Yu couldn't say anything: "I..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind: "My father and two brothers came to the capital to look for me, but they were captured by him. He threatened me with their lives."
After witnessing how Su Yu didn't care about her father and brother's lives but only wanted money, Zhao Ce remained silent.
Su Yu said cautiously: "Don't you believe it?"
Zhao Ce really wanted to believe it, but unfortunately...
"Besides that?"
Su Yu's body stiffened slightly, and her throat felt dry. "What, what else?"
Don't cry until you see the coffin.
Zhao Ce sighed imperceptibly: "You are not my savior."
"I was indeed saved by someone when I was injured, but it wasn't you."
"You deceived me."
The task progress bar rose and fell, and finally stopped at 70 percent.
