In the second half of the banquet, all the elders gathered around Suman. On the left, they said, "Heroes emerge from youth," and on the right, "The disciple surpasses the master."
Coupled with Qian Qimeng's occasional flattery and Qian Qinyun's gratitude, Su Man became the brightest person in the palace.
After Su Man drank everyone's toasts one by one, she looked up and found that Dongji Jun had disappeared.
Su Man didn't care. It was just a matter of losing face and reputation, so she went back to being emo alone.
After she had finally finished the socializing, Cui'e, who was beside the queen, came to tell her that the queen had been waiting for her for a long time.
-
"Your Highness the Queen."
"Elder Riemann, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
After Su Man sat down, the queen smiled and said, "Elder, you have a good plan. You even fooled me."
Su Man bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I wanted to report this to you, but I was concerned about the Crown Prince's trust in Zuo Yaohe. I was also afraid of alerting the enemy and hurting the Crown Prince, so I kept it a secret from you."
"I have no intention of criticizing you. On the contrary, I admire Elder Li Man's strategy."
The Queen paused, "Qin Yun lacks someone as intelligent and astute as the elder, which is why I worry about him all the time. If he could marry a princess like the elder, then I can rest assured."
Hearing this, Su Man completely understood why the queen called her here. Well, the queen and the princess are really a family, and they both came to urge her to get married.
It is impossible to agree, but refusing is also a science.
After all, she is the queen of the Spirit Beast Kingdom, and she is seeking marriage on behalf of the prince. If she goes too far and offends the queen, it will be more trouble than it is worth.
Su Man's eyes rolled, and she put on a sincere expression. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I was only able to escape because of my cultivation. And the Crown Prince, though he is worth millions, was able to leave behind wealth and glory and journey to the summit of the extreme cold. He also obtained the spiritual treasure single-handedly. Such courage and strategy are naturally extraordinary. Given time, he will surely be able to dominate the world like the king."
No mother doesn't like to hear people praise her children, even the queen is the same. While she was being praised, Su Man changed the subject and said, "As for what the queen said about wanting to choose a strong and virtuous wife for the prince, I don't really agree. Things in this world change rapidly, and no one can be reliable forever. The prince is still young and it's time for him to gain experience. If he helps too much, it will become a hindrance, which is not good."
Su Man's words were reasonable and logical. They not only politely rejected the queen's offer, but also made her feel at ease.
The queen had been immersed in lust in the palace for many years, so she could naturally understand Su Man's subtext. What Su Man said did make sense, so she gave up the idea of ​​matchmaking for Qian Qinyun and talked about other things instead.
Before Suman left, the queen gave her many rare treasures.
Su Man was not interested in these things and instead made another request, "Queen, can I meet Zuo Yaohe?"
Generally speaking, prisoners sentenced to death like Zuo Yaohe were not allowed to have visitors before their execution. However, since Su Man had brought it up, the Queen would not refuse her and nodded in agreement. "Okay, since the elder wants to see it, I will have Cui'e give you my token later."
"Thank you, Queen."
-
With the queen's token, Suman could enter and leave the prison as if he was in an empty prison.
Zuo Yaohe committed a serious crime and was imprisoned at the bottom of the dungeon.
As soon as you enter here, you can smell a musty smell. The ground is sticky, and you can't tell if it is mud or blood.
"Elder, this is the room."
The jailer bowed and opened the cell in front of him.
Su Man nodded and said, "Thank you. I'll be out as soon as possible."
"No, no, you can stay as long as you want. The Queen has sent Sister Cui'e to tell you that no one is allowed to disturb you. Just treat this place as your own home and don't be polite to me."
Su Man: "...You are so polite."
"hey-hey."
The jailer scratched the back of his head. He usually met either death row prisoners or these jailers. Now that he finally met an important person, he had no idea how to entertain him.
Unfortunately, there were no tea or snacks here, only piles of torture instruments. Suddenly, the prison boss had an idea, "Oh, right, if the elder likes these things, feel free to use them. Don't be polite."
Suman???
"You're like this whip, with its iron spikes. If your skin isn't torn to pieces when I whip you, you'll come looking for me. And this tiger bench, sitting on it is so comfortable. Oh, and this hand splint..."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that he was about to start introducing something, Su Man quickly stopped him and said, "These are enough. I'll call you if I need anything later."
"Okay, I'll open the door for you."
The cell door creaked open. Zuo Yaohe leaned against the corner, seemingly asleep.
The jailer picked up the whip in his hand and lashed at Zuo Yaohe fiercely, "Wake up! Elder Li Man is here to see you!"
Zuo Yaohe curled up her body and raised her head very slowly.
After just one afternoon apart, she seemed like a completely different person. Her face was pale and her clothes were so dirty that they were unrecognizable.
Seeing Su Man, her lifeless eyes instantly widened and her voice became hoarse, "Why are you here! Who told you to come?"
"Snap"
Another lash of the whip, the jailer pointed the whip at Zuo Yaohe and shouted, "Don't be rude! This is Elder Li Man, the Queen's guest of honor. He is completely different from a death row prisoner like you. If you talk nonsense again, I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!"
