Although Su Liyue guessed that this trip to the Su family would be a Hongmen Banquet, since she was already here, there was absolutely no reason to go back.
Therefore, Su Liyue entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper.
However, what surprised Su Liyue was that she was taken directly to the study in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
You know, the study is an important place for every family, and her relationship with Prime Minister Su has never been close, even worse than strangers. How could Prime Minister Su meet her in the study?
With doubts, Su Liyue entered Prime Minister Su's study.
Naturally, Xirong didn't let him in.
At this time, Prime Minister Su was sitting behind the desk in his study, looking like he was working seriously.
But all this was just an act, because as soon as Su Liyue entered the door, Prime Minister Su immediately raised his head.
Su Zhengsong's sharp gaze fell on Su Liyue, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Su Liyue let Prime Minister Su look at her while she found a place to sit down.
She wanted to see what Su Zhengsong was going to do.
Su Zhengsong watched Su Liyue sit down, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
But Su Zhengsong quickly concealed his feelings, his expression filled with concern. "How have you been these past few years?"
Like an old father's care for his daughter.
However, Su Liyue smiled and asked, "My Lord, are you asking about the years in the countryside or the years in the nunnery?"
Su Zhengsong paused when he heard this, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's your fault that you weren't protected well enough." Su Zhengsong sighed, looking remorseful.
Su Liyue: “…”
So, Su Zhengsong is playing the family card?
Su Liyue frowned. She didn't like this kind of indecisiveness and didn't want to waste time here.
So, Su Liyue got straight to the point and said, "Prime Minister, please speak directly if you have anything to say. Otherwise, your fatherly demeanor will really make people uncomfortable."
This was said sarcastically and without any concealment.
When Su Zhengsong heard this, his expression froze, then turned pale and blue, and a look of shame flashed across his eyes.
Sure enough, this bitch is just like her mother, it's impossible to be happy with her.
Su Zhengsong put away the fake expression on his face and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes.
Su Liyue was not unfamiliar with this look, as it was in her memory since childhood, so Su Liyue didn't think anything of it. After all, she never considered him as a father.
"Five years ago, before you got married, what your father told you, do you still remember?"
Suddenly, Su Zhengsong said this.
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue subconsciously met Su Zhengsong's gaze.
She always felt that Su Zhengsong's words were tentative, but she had no evidence.
And five years ago——
Su Liyue thought carefully, but without a doubt, it was still a blank.
Therefore, Su Liyue said calmly, "I don't remember."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengsong did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Su Liyue with his sharp eyes, as if judging the truthfulness of Su Liyue's words.
Su Liyue let Su Zhengsong look at her, her expression remaining indifferent.
Su Zhengsong's eyes darkened slightly before he slowly spoke, "Then, let me repeat it again."
Su Liyue looked at Su Zhengsong quietly, waiting for Su Zhengsong's next words.
"Father needs to know the War King's every move, and I need you to find the military token." Su Zhengsong's face showed that he would not accept rejection.
However, after hearing Su Zhengsong say this, Su Liyue could no longer remain calm.
Not standing up directly from the chair was Su Liyue's greatest self-control.
She never imagined that Su Zhengsong actually wanted her to be an undercover agent, and he had done so five years ago.
Could it be that this is the reason why the Su family ignored her after she was exiled to the nunnery for the past five years?
Just because she is useless?
"Prime Minister Su, are you planning to usurp the throne?" Su Liyue asked tentatively.
Apart from this, she couldn't guess any other possibilities.
Otherwise, why would he want the military token?
Hearing this, Su Zhengsong was stunned, and then he didn't know what he thought of, his face full of horror.
Then, he glared at Su Liyue and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Liyue looked at Su Zhengsong and saw that the fear in his eyes did not seem fake, which made her even more suspicious.
Since he is not interested in that position and seems to be afraid of it, why is Su Zhengsong doing this?
Seeing that Su Liyue remained silent, Su Zhengsong forced himself to relax his expression and said, "Father asked you to do this, but it will not harm you."
Su Liyue couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "You won't harm me? I'm afraid if I'm discovered, I'll be the first one to die without a burial place."
"Besides, if he really wouldn't harm me, why would Prime Minister Su let me marry in his place five years ago?"
Su Liyue stood up and looked at Su Zhengsong coldly. "Prime Minister Su, I am now the Princess of Zhan. I understand the principle of sharing weal and woe. If this is the reason why Prime Minister Su asked me to come here today, then I will take my leave."
Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Do you really think that you can refuse this?" Su Zhengsong's voice sounded faintly from behind Su Liyue, making Su Liyue feel a tingling sensation on her back.
Su Liyue turned around and met Su Zhengsong's deep eyes with a look of vigilance, "What do you mean?"
Su Zhengsong smiled, but his eyes became increasingly gloomy. When Su Liyue's heart was in turmoil, Su Zhengsong pointed to the sky.
"No one can refuse what that person wants to do."
Su Liyue was horrified.
That? Are you talking about the Emperor?
Su Liyue thought of the scene when she met Ye Kunlin in the palace. Although the emperor tricked her into treating him, and it was a disease that made her extremely embarrassed... However, she really couldn't connect the person Su Zhengsong was talking about with Emperor Ye Kunlin.
If it was really the Emperor who ordered Prime Minister Su to do so, then...
Su Liyue suddenly couldn't help shivering and felt extremely cold in her heart.
Although, she doesn't like Ye Cangming.
But she had heard of Ye Cangming's reputation long ago - the War King of Longyuan Kingdom, who fought on the battlefield and guarded the territory, and was the patron saint of Longyuan.
If Ye Cangming was feared by his biological father, the emperor, because of this, then he would be truly pathetic.
For some reason, Su Liyue suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"What do you think?" Su Zhengsong spoke at this time.
Su Liyue looked up, met Su Zhengsong's gaze, and said coldly, "I refuse."
Regardless of whether the emperor had his approval or not, she had no intention of becoming anyone's spy.
Once she agrees, no matter whether she advances or retreats, she will fall into the abyss, and she is not stupid.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue turned around and left.
However, just as she took a step forward, Su Zhengsong's voice sounded faintly from behind Su Liyue again, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your child?"
child?
Su Liyue's heart trembled and she paused slightly.
But it was only for a moment.
Su Liyue just thought that Su Zhengsong was desperate and was making up lies.
"When you returned to the capital five years ago, you were already pregnant." Su Zhengsong's voice sounded from behind Su Liyue. "You married into Prince Zhan's mansion while two months pregnant."
