Aunt Zhang didn't reveal any flaws and said calmly:
"General, you have returned victorious. Rumors are circulating that you are the female war god of our Fengyang Nation! Countless people want to serve you. Now, I am honored to be chosen by His Majesty to serve in your palace. This is my great honor."
The Sultan said:
"Madam, do you want to stay with me forever, or do you want to go back to the palace?"
Nanny Zhang was stunned by Sudanruo's question.
In fact, she neither wanted to stay here nor go back to the palace.
She had spent most of her life in the palace and was well aware of the dangers it faced.
He had finally become one of the empress's confidants, and originally wanted to spend his old age in the palace with this status.
But I didn't expect that even when I was so old, the empress would still squeeze out the last bit of value from me.
The empress promised her that if she did her job well, she would get a large sum of money and be able to leave the palace to live her own life.
Nanny Zhang glanced at Su Danruo and lowered her head again after realizing that he had been observing her.
"Since I have been sent here by Your Majesty, you will be my master from now on. Naturally, I will serve you here."
Sultan knew that what Aunt Zhang said was not what she really meant, so she did not respond and just silently ate the delicious food on the table.
When Nanny Zhang saw that Sudanruo didn't continue talking, she stood aside feeling a little nervous.
Could it be that the Sultan discovered something?
Nanny Zhang was guessing in her heart what Sudan Ruo had just intended.
But she did not intend to report this to the empress.
The empress was suspicious by nature, and if she learned of this, she might begin to suspect that she had been bribed by the Sultan.
For the sake of her own life, Nanny Zhang decided to wait and see.
Sultan Ruo secretly observed the expression of Nanny Zhang. Judging from her appearance, Sultan Ruo felt that Nanny Zhang was not very loyal to the empress and might be useful in the future.
Throughout the meal, Nanny Zhang was always nervous, fearing that General Su would ask her some strange questions again.
After dinner, Sudan Ruo took Qu Cheng'an for a walk.
Nanny Zhang, Sang'er, and Wenxiang all followed behind them.
When the Sultan comes to a rockery, he will say:
"You all wait here! Your Highness and I will go around the front."
If the Sultan deliberately kept everyone here, Nanny Zhang would have no idea what to say. She could only observe the actions of the two people to judge what they were discussing.
Su Danruo and Qu Cheng'an walked forward for a while, using the rockery to hide their figures.
After making sure that Nanny Zhang couldn't see or hear him, he spoke slowly.
"What you told me today, that Her Majesty was planning to take action against the Su family, I had already thought about it, but I didn't expect that she would be willing to cooperate with you, a prince from a neighboring country, in order to get rid of the Su family."
Qu Chengan asked:
"What are you going to do? Based on the Empress's current attitude towards your Su family, it's impossible for your Su family to continue to gain a foothold in the court."
Sudan Ruo said to Qu Chengan seriously:
"When the ruler is wise, the ministers are loyal. When the ruler is foolish, the ministers rebel!"
Qu Cheng'an originally thought that General Su was a loyal and patriotic person, and that he would need to work hard to make her see her situation clearly.
I didn't expect her to think so thoroughly.
This is good, it saves me some trouble.
He was about to speak when he heard footsteps nearby.
Qu Cheng'an immediately stepped forward and forced Su Danruo into a corner, his face gently close to Su Danruo's face.
Sudan Ruo immediately realized that someone was coming and cooperated with Qu Cheng'an.
Seeing that the two men had not returned, Nanny Zhang bypassed Wenxiang and Sang'er and secretly went around from behind the rockery to see what they were doing.
As a result, we saw the two of them being affectionate behind the rockery.
She quickly stepped back, fearing to disturb the two of them.
Unexpectedly, when he stepped back, he missed a step and fell on his butt.
Qu Cheng'an and Su Danruo looked at the same time. Su Danruo almost laughed out loud when he saw Aunt Zhang's embarrassing look.
Who let this nanny eavesdrop? She deserves it!
Sudanruo took Qu Cheng'an's hand and walked towards the outside of the rockery. When passing by Aunt Zhang, he said:
"Madam Zhang, please stop eavesdropping in the future. Be careful not to sprain your ankle."
After saying this, Su Danruo didn't even look at Nanny Zhang, and directly pulled Qu Cheng'an away.
Nanny Zhang was humiliated by Sudanruo and felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to stand up but found that she had really sprained her ankle.
She managed to stand up by holding onto the small tree next to her.
Qu Cheng'an followed behind Su Danruo and watched her holding his hand, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
When he came up to Sonny, Sonny stared at the two people's hands tightly held together with wide eyes.
"Miss...you..."
Wen Xiang looked at the two of them with a look of amused delight.
Su Danruo followed Sang'er's gaze and realized that he had been holding Qu Cheng'an's hand since the beginning.
She quickly let go of Qu Cheng'an's hand, looked at Qu Cheng'an and found that a trace of loss seemed to pass across his face.
But it disappeared immediately. When Sudan wanted to take a closer look, Qu Cheng'an had returned to normal.
Sudan thought it was because it was dark and he was dazzled.
Nanny Zhang limped out from behind, following the two of them.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's expression, Sang'er pretended to be surprised and said:
"Ah! Aunt Zhang, why did you come out with the two masters? What happened to your foot? Let me support you!"
Qu Cheng'an said to Wen Xiang:
"Wenxiang, help Sang'er support Aunt Zhang."
Sultan Ruo also said:
"Madam Zhang has had difficulty walking these past few days, so you don't need to wait on her. Sang'er, please send Madam Zhang back to her room to rest!"
Nanny Zhang smiled awkwardly at the two of them, and they went forward together to send Nanny Zhang back to her room.
After Qu Cheng'an and Su Danruo watched Aunt Zhang go back, they continued the previous topic:
"If you have any financial needs, you can always ask me for help. Even if I don't have anything else, I can still provide for you with money."
Sultan Ruo bowed to Qu Cheng'an and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Qu Cheng'an had never been thanked like this before, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
He coughed lightly and said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. If you want to thank me, General, why not offer yourself as a token of your gratitude?"
As he spoke, Qu Cheng'an slowly approached Sudan Ruo.
Sultan was forced to retreat by Qu Cheng'an. When Qu Cheng'an got closer and closer, he suddenly threw Qu Cheng'an over his shoulder.
Qu Cheng'an was stunned by the fall and lay on the ground for a long time before he came to his senses.
By the time he stood up, Sudan Ruo had already disappeared.
Qu Cheng'an didn't expect Su Danruo to do this suddenly, and he was a martial artist, but Su Danruo threw him to the ground so easily.
This general is a bit too strong!
He is even stronger than the strongest warriors of his Jingyong country. Even the strongest warrior of his Jingyong country has never thrown him to the ground!
