The Queen Mother's sudden summons caused the atmosphere in the hall to fall into a momentary stalemate.
Finally, Ye Cangming frowned and looked at Su Liyue coldly, then strode out of the lobby.
After a while, Lin Chuan stepped forward and bowed to Su Liyue, saying in a somewhat stiff tone, "Princess, please go change your clothes."
Su Liyue was wearing the cassock that a nun wears, so naturally it was not appropriate for her to enter the palace to meet the empress dowager.
However, Su Liyue did not move.
She didn't want to move either.
She knew very well that entering the palace would not end well, so she didn't want to go at all. After all, no one wants to be tortured, right?
"Princess..." Lin Chuan frowned and said in a heavier tone, urging her.
Su Liyue raised her eyes and looked at Linchuan coldly, but said nothing. She stepped past him and walked out of the lobby.
After all, in an imperial society, she had no choice.
However, Linchuan just stood there with a dazed expression.
The look the princess gave him just now actually made him feel like he was facing his master.
Well, it's a bit weird...
Soon, Su Liyue changed into a light purple cloud satin palace dress.
This dress was brought by the original owner when she married into the palace. Now, after five years, it has become a little worn. In addition, there is no one to comb her hair, so Su Liyue just casually tied it into a bun at the back of her head and fixed it with a silver hairpin. She did not even put on any makeup.
But even so, Su Liyue's face still looks gorgeous and her skin looks snow-white.
Especially her cool and aloof temperament, which makes people unable to help but take a few more glances.
However, as she walked all the way to the gate of the palace, Su Liyue received only looks of surprise and coldness.
Su Liyue remained calm and composed about this.
After all, she had expected that the original owner would be unwelcome in Prince Zhan's mansion.
When she arrived at the gate of Prince Zhan's Mansion, Su Liyue saw that the gate, which had been bustling before, was now so deserted that there was not a single person around. There was only a black and gold wooden carriage parked quietly at the gate.
Su Liyue walked straight towards the carriage without thinking.
There were no pedals in front of the carriage, so Su Liyue just paused for a moment, then pushed herself up with her hands and easily jumped onto the carriage.
Su Liyue seemed not to notice the guards' shocked expressions, and simply reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Then, Su Liyue was caught off guard and met Ye Cangming's deep and cold eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Su Liyue felt a chill running through her bones, and her hands couldn't help but freeze.
To be honest, I had the urge to turn around and jump off the carriage.
Because, at this moment, Ye Cangming exuded a dangerous aura that told people to stay away from him.
Especially since this man had shown murderous intent just a moment ago because she was unwilling to divorce him, it was hard for her not to suspect that she would be crushed to death by him if she rode in the same carriage with him.
These thoughts flashed through Su Liyue's mind.
In the end, Su Liyue remained calm and got into the carriage, finding a corner away from Ye Cangming and sitting down.
Although she didn't want to stay in this small space with Ye Cangming, the palace was probably not close to Prince Zhan's Mansion, and she didn't want to walk there.
Soon, the carriage started moving.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was stagnant, and the two sat at the two ends, not interfering with each other.
However, the stagnant atmosphere in the carriage made Su Liyue feel uncomfortable all over.
At this time, the occasional hawking voices from vendors outside the window diverted Su Liyue's attention a little.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Liyue glanced at Ye Cangming, then carefully moved to the carriage window, lifted the curtain a little, and looked at the street.
This street is relatively lively, with many shops and stalls on the street.
When people saw the carriage, they subconsciously avoided it, but despite this, the speed of the carriage did not increase at all. It just moved forward at a constant speed and did not cause any disturbance.
Su Liyue's bored gaze fell on the street through the gap, and suddenly her eyes fixed with interest.
Su Liyue's gaze was fixed on a bun shop. Perhaps because it was not mealtime, there were no customers at the door of the bun shop, and the owner of the bun shop was taking a nap out of boredom.
Su Liyue's gaze was now fixed on the steamer. A white cat's paw with pink butcher's paw stretched out from the side and carefully pushed open the steamer.
A cat is stealing food!
A smile flashed across Su Liyue's eyes.
Then, a white cat head quickly appeared.
This is a snow-white cat with some faint light-colored markings.
The cat quickly put its head into the steamer, grabbed a big bun, and jumped down with nimble movements.
Su Liyue's eyes subconsciously followed the cat, but saw that the cat stopped beside a gray little boy.
The little boy was small, about four or five years old, with a dirty face that made it hard to tell what he looked like, but his big watery eyes were particularly attractive.
Then, Su Liyue saw the cat give the buns to the little boy.
The little boy smiled when he took the bun, his smile was so pure and innocent, as if what he got was not a bun, but a treasure.
But for some reason, when Su Liyue saw the little boy's smiling face, her heart felt a little sour, as if her heart was hit hard by something, and it hurt.
This strong feeling made Su Liyue a little dazed. When she looked again, the little boy had disappeared from her sight.
I felt a sense of loss and panic for no reason in my heart.
At this moment, the carriage was violently shaken by the impact.
Su Liyue, who was already distracted by the little boy, didn't check and fell backwards due to inertia.
Subconsciously, Su Liyue reached out to grab something to steady herself.
But things happened too suddenly. When Su Liyue reached out to grab, her body fell into a strong embrace.
At the same time, Su Liyue heard a gasp.
Su Liyue subconsciously tightened her grip - at this moment her hand happened to be holding something because of the crisis.
But, that feel...
Su Liyue realized something and couldn't help but widen his eyes, his old face suddenly turned red.
She, she, she—oh my god—what a sin!
“…I…” Su Liyue felt a little guilty and looked up to explain.
However, just as he looked up, he met a pair of eyes that were extremely angry.
Su Liyue was frightened and was about to run away when a pair of large hands grabbed her neck faster than she could move.
Su Liyue felt a strong sense of suffocation. She reached out to pry open those large, iron-like hands, but it was useless. Her strength gradually drained away as the air became deprived. Ye Cangming's cold, murderous voice reached her ears. "Su Liyue, don't try to attract my attention with such dirty tricks. I find them filthy—"
When Su Liyue met Ye Cangming's gaze, she clearly saw the murderous intent and disgust in Ye Cangming's eyes.
