They discovered that Su Yan was intently watching the assassin in black.
He meant something.
"The young lady has saved my life again."
Su Yan nodded
"Mhm."
So, is he going to take her to the capital city on the way?
Situ Xiu spoke slowly
"Your skill is truly admirable."
Su Yan thought about what she had just done.
"fine."
She didn't do much.
It was just throwing a stone.
Situ Xiu looked at Su Yan's face.
This was the first time he had ever met a girl like this.
This is so... interesting.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, his eyelids lowered to conceal his emotions, and he spoke slowly.
"Did the young lady just say she was going to the capital?"
"kindness."
"This is a small matter, which I can easily handle. But... are you sure this is all you want as a reward?"
He looked up, a smile playing on his lips, and appeared very approachable.
That's actually what Su Yan was thinking.
Once she arrived in the capital, she went directly to the palace.
Kill the imposter.
She could then continue being her empress.
However, judging from his expression, he seemed to really want to give her something.
She asked honestly
"What would Your Highness like to bestow as a reward?"
Situ Xiu laughed heartily
"I think you are exceptionally intelligent."
He paused for a moment.
Then he said
"I am short one guard by my side. Would you be willing, young lady?"
Su Yan didn't expect the situation to change so drastically.
So much so that he stood there dumbfounded.
Weren't we just talking about rewards?
How did she become a guard?
She wondered
"Women can be bodyguards too?"
"nature."
Su Yan wanted to refuse
"I don't want to..."
He had only said half of what he was going to say.
He was intercepted by Situ Xiu.
He smiled, a slight, cool curve to his lips, and spoke slowly.
"This king rarely bestows such a reward upon you. Could it be that you, young lady, think it would be better to be executed?"
Su Yan
"······"
Her eyes widened slightly.
Looking at him.
Isn't this a threat?
She was sentenced to death for not serving as a guard?
I struggled with these two options for a long time.
Finally, Su Yan bit her lip and said in a muffled voice.
"I'll take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Xiu burst out laughing.
He was genuinely laughing.
He tapped Su Yan's hand with the jade Buddhist prayer beads.
"May I ask the name of this newly recruited guard?"
"Su...Song Su".
"Then, Guard Song, your hand is digging into my waist, it hurts so much, shouldn't you let go?"
As Su Yan listened, she realized that she had been holding him tightly the whole time.
Reminded by him, she immediately withdrew her hand.
Su Yan stood there.
He asked aloud
"I...I don't know what to do."
Situ Xiu looked at her, who was so serious and earnest.
She had completely lost the wronged look she had given when she reluctantly agreed.
He stood there, exuding an air of nobility, fingering his prayer beads.
"You will do whatever I say, do you understand?"
Su Yan nodded
"yes"
Then, Su Yan obediently followed behind Situ Xiu.
She followed him wherever he went.
Su Yan was fine.
The group of guards behind him were all shocked.
Soon, another luxurious carriage arrived.
Three horses were pulling the curtain, which was embroidered with subtle patterns and the prominent characters "Situ".
It exudes extravagance and luxury in every aspect.
Su Yan returned to the capital in just such a carriage.
Xiao Hua watched as the laborer awkwardly drove the carriage.
"Host, you still need to go back and unify the country."
Su Yan answered Xiao Hua's question while driving.
"No rush."
Little Flower hums.
I was clearly in a hurry before.
She stopped being in a hurry after seeing the male lead.
What's this called again?
Lustful?
Hmm, I forgot.
