Chapter 575 This is When I Die

Si Linglong was speechless when she saw Qinglu, who was complaining, was confused.

But she also understood that a young man who grew up in the palace would have no idea about such sinister tactics.

"Dai Jiangkuan's actions did not avoid others, which seemed to be frank to others, but he must have considered Shuhong's situation as a woman."

Life for women in ancient times was already more difficult than that of ordinary people, let alone in the palace.

He was frank, but he did not consider Shuhong's feelings.

The young lady found such favoritism enviable, but she never thought that when both parties are interested, the ambiguity is sweet, but when one party is not interested, it is a one-sided entanglement.

When Si Linglong was in college, she saw many young people who liked to express their feelings in public. Generally speaking, if both people are interested in the relationship, it is indeed romantic.

But more often than not, the girl has no intention at all, but is unable to back down because of the other party's public confession. What's worse, with all the onlookers cheering and trying to match her up, if the girl insists on refusing, there will be all kinds of people who will jump out and say that she is cruel and should give him a chance.

But in this matter, no one except the person involved is qualified to make the decision for her.

This is true even in modern times when love is free, let alone in ancient times.

"You said that many people in the palace think that Dai Jiangkuang and Shu Hong are a couple. Regardless of whether Dai Jiangkuang did this on purpose or not, he is not a man if he can put Shu Hong in this situation now!"

Qinglu listened to her own mother's words in a daze, and only after a while did she realize what was going on and became angry.

"That's too much!"

She had felt that Dai Jiangkuan made Shuhong unhappy, but she couldn't explain exactly why she was unhappy. After all, a man was in love with her, and there was nothing a woman could do about it.

But after hearing her own queen say this, Qinglu realized that Dai Jiangkuan was still pestering Shuhong even though she had clearly refused. How was he different from those bullies who would force others to do something?

Dai Jiangkuan was now weaving a net around Shuhong, preventing her from escaping.

"Is he treating Shuhong as a fish in his net? If this is the case, how will Shuhong get married in the future?"

Palace maids could leave the palace and marry when they turned 25. If their master showed mercy, it was common for them to leave the palace early.

Not to mention that with the Queen's personality, if Shu Hong really met a good man, she might even ask the Emperor to arrange a marriage for her.

The more Si Linglong thought about it, the angrier she got. She stood up and wanted to roll up her sleeves. "No, you are morally blackmailing someone who bullies me. You are treating me like I'm dead."

Si Linglong put on her shoes and planned to get rid of this bad luck for Shu Hong. However, just as she walked to the door and opened it, she saw Shu Hong standing outside the door without knowing when, as if she had heard everything they had said before.

Her face was as calm as water, but there was a ripple in her eyes, which was quickly suppressed in an instant.

Without waiting for Si Linglong to speak, he bowed slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"Your Highness loves me, but I dare not make you worry. I will handle the matter of Deputy Commander Dai properly. Your Highness does not need to worry about me."

Shu Hong didn't want to have a feud with Deputy Commander Dai before, but she didn't want to make enemies for her queen in the palace. Now it is even more impossible to let her find that person.

Shu Hong has been in the palace for a long time, and even if her status is lower than the other party, she will not let others push her around.

Now that she knew Empress Xiao's attitude, she felt relieved.

In other words, with the Empress as her backer, she has nothing to fear.

Shu Hong still has a way to get rid of the other party's entanglement without making enemies with the other party.

Shu Hong's face was full of confidence and relief, but Si Linglong did not really intend to leave the matter to her.

"Normally, I would be relieved if you could handle things on your own, but if you were to step in for something like this, wouldn't that make me, the queen, useless? Don't worry about it. I'll handle it for you."

Shu Hong opened her mouth to persuade him, but Si Linglong held her shoulders and winked at her, "Don't worry, I won't rush to that person and scold him. I have a hundred ways to make him retreat."

Si Linglong gave her a sly smile and indicated that she would take care of the matter.

Although Shuhong was a little hesitant, she didn't say anything more.
