Chapter 42 The Second Prince's Heroic Rescue
When Su Yue heard this very familiar young man's voice, his aura suddenly changed, and he seemed to have fallen into a cold pond.
The person who spoke was the second prince Shangguan Nanfeng. Because of his brief encounter with Su Yue, he was extremely interested in her. In addition, she was the daughter of the prime minister, so Shangguan Nanfeng thought about it for several days and decided that he must win her over.
After all, he could have as many beautiful women as he wanted, but the position of his second imperial concubine was only suitable for girls of noble status and good brains.
Prime Minister Su has no children. If he could marry Su Yue, wouldn't all of Prime Minister Su's power in the court be under his control? Although the emperor intended to give Su Yue to his third brother to bring good luck, Su Yue seemed unwilling to do so.
So in the past few days, he specifically asked his servants to keep a close eye on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as Su Yue went out, the servants would report to him, and he would then create a chance encounter by sheer coincidence.
"Miss Su, what a coincidence that we meet here." Even in such a cold day, Shangguan Nanfeng was quite showy and brought a folding fan with him. There was a green jade pendant hanging on the fan, which looked very valuable.
Su Yue looked at the Second Prince in front of her and thought that fanning himself in the middle of winter was really stupid. In her previous life, she must have had her eyes blinded by bird droppings and thought that he was so romantic and dashing.
"It's quite a coincidence." Su Yue's tone was indifferent, and no one could tell whether she was happy or sad. No one knew how hard she tried to suppress the hatred in her heart and not let the hatred soar to the sky.
Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Su Yue who was extremely cold towards him. For some reason, he always felt that this little girl hated him. However, he had never offended her before.
He wanted to chat more, but the big men wouldn't give him the time.
"Where did this idiot come from? He's still pretending to be cool by fanning himself in the middle of winter. Hahaha..." A big man was obviously tickled and laughed out loud.
Shangguan Nanfeng narrowed his sharp eyes. It was obvious that the ignorant man had angered him.
"How dare you make fun of the Second Prince!" Qingzhu saw the Second Prince's face darken and knew that he was angry, so he scolded the big men in front of him.
"Oh, you're the second prince? I'm still the emperor. You're just talking nonsense. Who do you say is the real person?" Obviously, these big men didn't fall for Qingzhu's threats.
And Su Yue just watched indifferently, as if she was a bystander.
"You...you..." Obviously, Qingzhu had never met such unreasonable people. He was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to curse but didn't know what to say. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"I advise you all to stop interfering in our business, otherwise I will take them all back for you." The big man who was leading the group obviously lost his patience. He walked to Su Yue, grabbed Su Qing's wrist and pulled him out.
Su Qing was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. She knew that if she really went back this time, her life would be over.
"I advise you to take your dirty claws away." Su Yue's eyes were cold. Just now, she secretly signaled Xiao He to find the guards patrolling the imperial city, and they should have arrived by now.
"Hey, girl, you really don't want to accept my invitation and you really want us to arrest you!" The big man didn't take Su Yue's words seriously at all. If Su Yue didn't look so malnourished and they didn't like her, he would have arrested both of them long ago.
When had the Second Prince ever suffered such humiliation? He usually could call the shots wherever he went, yet he was despised and ridiculed by these rough guys.
And, most importantly, it happened in front of the Prime Minister's daughter Su Yue. You know, he wanted to be a hero and save the beauty and win Su Yue's heart.
"Stop!" At this moment, a loud voice came from the front. It turned out that Xiao He came with the guards.
The commander of the guards, Lin Zhi, walked up to the group of people and immediately saw the pendant on Shangguan Nanfeng's fan.
That was the symbol of the Second Prince's identity. Although he was not of high status and had never seen the Second Prince, he still recognized his fan pendant.
"I'm Lin Zhi, the commander of the guards, and I'm here to pay my respects to the Second Prince." Lin Zhi knelt down and saluted.
When those big men saw that the young man was actually the second prince, they panicked and ran away, leaving Su Qing behind.
"Catch him back for me. If you are missing one person, I will hold you accountable." Shangguan Nanfeng said in a sinister tone. He was really angry this time. A few lowly people actually dared to make fun of him! And they made fun of him in front of Su Yue. He would definitely pull out the tongues of these people.
"Since everything is alright, let's go." Seeing those big men being carried back like chicks by the guards, Su Yue knew that the next thing should be left to Lin Zhi.
Moreover, these people just now actually made fun of Shangguan Nanfeng like that. Given his personality, it would be a great honor for him to have his body intact.
She glanced at the big men with sympathy, then turned around and tried to leave with Su Qing.
"Miss Su, actually I'm not..." Shangguan Nanfeng felt that he had lost face in front of her and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Yue.
"Thank you very much this time, Second Prince." She left without even turning her head after leaving behind a cold word of thanks.
Shangguan Nanfeng clenched his hands and gave a series of cold rejections. Anyone could feel Su Yue's alienation. However, Shangguan Nanfeng always liked challenging women. He had seen too many women who came at his call and left at his will, and they were boring to him.
Su Yue, right? Very good, I, Shangguan Nanfeng, will choose you!
And Su Yue, who was not far away, raised the corner of his mouth in an imperceptible arc.
As they were husband and wife in their previous life, she knew Shangguan Nanfeng's personality very well, if not completely. The colder and more distant she was, the more he would cling to her like a dog-skin plaster.
And his elder sister Su Xin, relying on the reputation of being a cool beauty, hooked up with Shangguan Nanfeng even after marrying the third prince.
So after he ascended the throne, he ignored the opposition of all officials and the complaints of the people, and took away the wife of his younger brother and made her his concubine.
"Miss, where are you taking me?" Su Qing saw Su Yue leading her forward without saying a word, and she couldn't help feeling a little panicked. She was really afraid that she would just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth again. Although the lady in front of her didn't seem like a bad person, she felt inexplicably kind to her.
It was this feeling of intimacy that made her decide to hide behind her.
"I'll take you home, Su Qing." Su Yue interrupted her thoughts and smiled warmly at Su Qing.
"Home? How do you know my name is Su Qing?" Su Qing was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that the young lady, who met her for the first time, would actually call out her name.
"What do you think?" Su Yue didn't say anything clearly, but just looked at Su Qing with a gentle smile.
Looking at the big, bright eyes of the girl in front of her, a familiar feeling came over her heart. She was familiar with these eyes.
"Who are you?" Su Qing couldn't believe his eyes. Although the answer was on the tip of his tongue, he couldn't say it.
"Sister Qing, it's me, Su Yue."
Su Qing is a few months older than Su Yue. They have been playing together since childhood. Su Yue, who has no rules to begin with, holds Su Qing's hand and calls her Sister Qing every day. Every time housekeeper Su hears this, he is so shocked that he makes Su Qing kneel down and kowtow to Su Yue. Over time, Su Yue seldom calls Su Qing Sister Qing.
And now the girl standing in front of him, who had suffered outside for ten years and was covered with scars because of saving him, deserves to be called a sister.
"Yuer?" After getting the confirmation from the person in front of her, Su Qing burst into tears.
