Chapter 280 The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (27)
When leaving Wuweizhai, Su Yu heard a piece of news from Su Lingyu that her father and brother had come to the capital to find her.
She had already learned the news from Prince An.
Since both of them said so, it seems that the news is indeed true.
"Sister Lingyu, I'll leave first."
Su Lingyu nodded: "We were too rushed this time, and I didn't treat you well. Next time I come, I'll ask the store to give you a discount."
Su Yu held a bunch of new desserts sent by Su Lingyu and said thank you crisply: "Thank you, Sister Lingyu!"
Looking at the shadow of the departing carriage, Su Lingyu stood there without moving.
She only believed 50% of Su Yu's words about saving her life, because she knew best who bandaged the man's wounds.
As for the fact that Su Yu accidentally discovered him while picking mushrooms in the back mountain, she should have been true. It just so happened that the man woke up at that time and mistakenly thought Su Yu was his savior.
For some unknown reason, Su Yu did not deny it.
Su Lingyu strangely felt a sense of the wonder of fate. She saved the man, dragged him into the cave, bandaged him, and visited him every day. After many attempts, she still couldn't wait for him to wake up. Su Yu just went to the cave once by accident and happened to see him wake up.
Fate is really strange.
It's not that she is resentful, but Su Lingyu would occasionally imagine what would happen if the man knew that she was actually his savior.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. The entire meeting between the three people was heard by Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce asked the secret guards to keep an eye on the movements in Prince An's Mansion, but he didn't expect to get the result so soon.
"How did they meet?"
The secret guard bowed his head and said: "I am incompetent and did not find out what Prince An and the girl said."
Zhao Ce's face looked a little gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent towards Zhao Sheng.
"What about the female shopkeeper? What did she say to the girl?"
The secret guard did hear it, but there was no useful information, just some reminiscing and chatting.
Zhao Ce frowned, "Is she trying to find out how Su Yu saved my life?"
"My Lord, yes."
Something flashed through his mind, and Zhao Ce seemed to have grasped something vaguely, but the feeling disappeared the next second.
"I understand. You go down first and keep an eye on Prince An."
"yes."
After the secret guard left, Zhao Ce stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of Su Yu's courtyard, deep in thought.
How did they meet?
Su Yu was also thinking about this at this time.
[Why is Prince An so determined to deal with the male protagonist? To fight for the throne? But the crown prince has been appointed, so if he wants to fight for the throne, he should defeat the crown prince first. ]
The emperor of the Daqing Dynasty is old and has already appointed a crown prince. The crown prince has been building up power in the court for several years and his position has long been as stable as it can be. The male protagonist and Prince An lost because they were born too late and have little competitiveness.
So why are they fighting to the death?
【System, check. 】
The system received the order and carefully scanned the world background, and actually discovered the reason: [Found it. ]
This involves an old story.
[Prince An's mother was originally a maid of Concubine Shu. After Concubine Shu entered the palace, she had no children for a long time. She had no choice but to abandon the mother and keep the son. She pushed the maid around her out to be favored. As she wished, she got the prince, but the maid died during childbirth.]
[Who would have thought that within two years of the maid's child being born, Concubine Shu became pregnant and successfully gave birth to a son, Zhao Ce. The palace maid Zhao Sheng became dispensable.]
[Shu Fei continued to raise Zhao Sheng for three or four years, but she was not very dedicated. When he was able to take care of himself, she gave him to the eunuchs and nannies to raise, and from then on she focused on raising her own children.]
【When Zhao Sheng grew up, he accidentally learned that there was a hidden story behind his mother's death. She died during childbirth because of Concubine Shu's manipulation. So he regarded Concubine Shu as the enemy who killed his mother. Since Concubine Shu was in the palace, he could not reach her. He turned to his brother Zhao Ce as a thorn in his side. He firmly believed that if Zhao Ce died, Concubine Shu would be heartbroken. How could Zhao Ce just sit there and wait for death? He decisively fought back.】
[This is how the feud between the two began.]
Su Yu suddenly realized: [So the death of that palace maid was really caused by Concubine Shu? ]
System: [Yes.]
Su Yu, who vaguely remembered that Concubine Shu was a Buddhist, remained silent: [……]
Everyone in this palace really has blood on their hands.
"Miss, the prince wants you to go to his study." A servant suddenly came in to report.
…
Su Yu had been to Zhao Ce's study many times. Although she was reluctant every time, she was surprisingly nervous this time.
She felt inexplicably uneasy when she thought about the conversation with that person.
There is no one in the study.
Su Yu sat obediently in her seat and waited. The enlightenment reading materials were still on the table, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone were neatly placed on the table as usual.
From this angle, Zhao Ce's desk is in full view.
When the little village girl saw the chair, her cheeks suddenly felt hot. A few days ago, Zhao Ce had hugged her and kissed her there, a very fierce kiss.
It was the same thing the night before yesterday. I kissed her until her lips were almost broken before I let her go.
That piece of clothing is still in Zhao Ce's room.
He took off her clothes but didn't want her, saying that girls should be reserved and that it would be more appropriate to do this on the wedding night. However, when he changed her clothes, he was not reserved at all and pinched her all over.
My body seemed to soften as I recalled the memories.
Su Yu shook her head violently to clear her mind. This was the study room and she still had to wait for Zhao Ce.
She supported her chin in boredom, and suddenly a moist white flashed in her peripheral vision.
The radar sounded instantly.
Su Yu looked over suddenly and saw a white jade seal carved into the shape of a tiger quietly placed on the upper left corner of Zhao Ce's desk.
Su Yu’s eyelids jumped. Is this Zhao Ce’s private seal?
——Help me get Zhao Ce’s seal.
The man's words came to mind very appropriately.
Staring at the seal, Su Yu walked over as if possessed.
As if she saw the task progress bar suddenly jump to 100%, she slowly reached out and picked it up. The seal was made of excellent jade, delicate and smooth to the touch, comparable to the jade pendant on Zhao Ce's waist, and both looked very valuable.
Do you want to take it directly?
Definitely not, you will be discovered.
Su Yu stared at the seal in confusion and couldn't help but blame the man for being brainless. Such an important thing would definitely be discovered if it was lost, and it would be difficult to steal at all. How did he come up with this idea?
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Ce's voice suddenly sounded, and Su Yu was startled. She lost her grip on the thing in her hand and it fell on the table with a bang, making a heart-wrenching sound.
Zhao Ce's eyes then fell on the seal.
Su Yu put her hands behind her back guiltily: "I didn't mean it."
She definitely can't afford to pay for it if it's broken.
Zhao Ce walked over, put his arms around her waist very naturally, pulled her into his arms with a little force, sat down on the chair, and the person in his arms naturally threw herself on him.
The man stretched out his arm and took the seal. He lowered his eyes to look at the pale girl in his arms: "Are you looking at this?"
Su Yu looked at him carefully, making sure he hadn't noticed it, and pursed her lips nervously and said, "This looks good."
"like?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded tentatively: "Well, I like it, can you give it to me?"
Zhao Ce chuckled: "This is still useful, I can't give it to you."
Su Yu was disappointed: "Oh."
Zhao Ce smiled and changed the subject: "But I can give it to you for fun."
