Chapter 82: Honest people like me are rare
In the academy's wing room, the door was suddenly pushed open with great force. Su Lu's face turned pale, and she covered her lower abdomen.
"Zhao Mingzhu!"
She said that she felt a cramp in her stomach, as if someone was using a stick to stir her internal organs.
"Zhao Mingzhu, damn it..." Her calves ached and she fell to the ground and rolled around.
She must kill that servant when she goes back. She clearly said that Zhao Mingzhu was here. Su Lu groaned in pain, her heart shrouded in fear of death.
Without the antidote, would she die? No... She didn't want to die. She had just been reborn and hadn't done anything yet!
Pearl white satin shoes appeared in her sight, and the smoky purple and gold-stamped skirt had a floral scent.
“…Zhao Mingzhu!”
Su Lu raised her head with great effort, and beads of sweat appeared on her face in the blink of an eye, which made people feel pity for her.
Zhao Mingzhu stopped and looked down at her, her rosy complexion beautiful. "Miss Su, how come you have time to come to see me?"
She smiled, and Su Lu took a deep breath: "Give me...the antidote!"
Zhao Mingzhu frowned slightly, confused: "What antidote? Why don't I understand what Miss Su is saying?"
"Why are you pretending! You poisoned me and let me get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I almost died at his hands!"
"Oh." Zhao Mingzhu patted her head and said with a smile, "I remember now."
But he looked down at her again and said simply, "No."
Su Lu tried to stand up, supporting herself with one hand. The pain in her abdomen intensified, and she gritted her teeth: "You...ah!"
Zhao Mingzhu stepped on the back of her hand and crushed it repeatedly:
"Su Lu, if you hadn't shown up, I would have let it go. But you knew I had the evidence against you, and I had poisoned you, yet you still chose to stab me in the back and play dirty tricks."
Isn’t it too unaware that there is no one under your roof?
Don’t think she doesn’t know whether Su Lu’s death in the exam just now was intentional or unintentional.
Su Lu screamed, but Zhao Mingzhu looked at her coldly, but her feet remained still.
After a while, no one came over, and Su Lu knew that everyone around had been sent away.
Her face was distorted with pain, her eyes were blurred with tears and she looked up. At that moment, Su Lu's impression of Zhao Mingzhu from the depths of her memory flooded into her mind.
Domineering, arrogant, and does whatever he wants!
"I was wrong, Miss Zhao, I was wrong." Su Lu apologized with tears in her eyes as she said this.
Zhao Mingzhu moved her feet after hearing this. She smiled softly, "Look, wouldn't it have been better if you apologized earlier? I'll be generous this time and forgive you."
Zhao Mingzhu threw the medicine bottle to her: "It hurts so much, take two antidotes quickly."
Su Lu looked at the medicine bottle rolling off her body with humiliation, picked it up with sobs, and swallowed it quickly.
If she doesn't eat, she will die from the pain.
Zhao Mingzhu sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. She looked at Su Lu, who was lying on the ground with his back to her.
"It tastes good, doesn't it? It's as sweet as first love."
Su Lu supported herself with her hand to feel the cramp subside. The back of her hand that was stepped on was aching slightly. She pursed her lips and said, "It's delicious."
Seeing Su Lu's extreme reluctance, Zhao Mingzhu laughed and blinked:
"As long as it tastes good, I forgot to mention that one of the pills is also poisonous. But this time is different. If you don't take the antidote in time on the night of the full moon, you will die instantly."
Su Lu's face changed drastically. It was too late to vomit. She controlled her temper and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Damn Zhao Mingzhu! When did she become so vicious?
He actually wants to kill himself!
"I didn't mean to do anything. I just didn't like you and wanted to torture you."
Zhao Mingzhu shrugged, then put down the teacup, put his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely.
After her figure disappeared, Su Lu tried her best to scratch her throat to induce vomiting, but nothing came out. She angrily swept the teacup on the table to the ground.
Zhao Mingzhu, sooner or later she will repay today's humiliation a thousandfold!
Su Lu's eyes were filled with venom. At this moment, Gu Yan poked her head in and saw her:
"Hey, why are you in my sister-in-law's room?"
Su Lu slowly hid herself. She asked unnaturally, "Princess Jingning, why are you here?"
Gu Yan and Gu Xun, the brother and sister, Su Lu pulled out her lips, and they actually lived for so long.
Gu Yan looked at her hand, picked it up and took a look: "You won't make my sister-in-law angry, will she punish you?"
When Su Lu was mentioned, she gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand: "If the princess is fine, then I will take my leave first."
Gu Yan watched her hurriedly bow and leave. She touched her chin and said, "Su Lu...suddenly she's become bolder."
Although she had some thoughts before, she never dared to express them so bluntly and rudely.
…
"Go home, go home!" An Yun stood up and was about to rush out.
Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Yu followed behind her.
Zhao Mingzhu asked her, "Are you really that straightforward?"
Gu Yu held up the scarf and said, "What else? I told him I loved him and was willing to marry him, and then when I couldn't hide it anymore, I ran away from him and he chased me, and I couldn't escape even with wings?"
"Who is talking about my favorite storyline?" An Yun turned her head.
Zhao Mingzhu took out pine nuts from her sleeve and threw them out. An Yun jumped up and bit them like a puppy.
The two of them went back and forth, making Gu Yu roll his eyes.
Zhao Mingzhu scatters flowers like a goddess: "What if Bo Ling says he's willing to be one of your concubines? How would you respond?"
"Just sleep with him. I'm quite satisfied with him. When you get tired of sleeping in the Princess's Mansion, you can sleep in the East Palace."
Zhao Mingzhu: "That's too crude. And please don't mistreat an elderly man in his twenties. We are not your flirting partner."
Zhao Mingzhu thought for a moment and continued to ask:
"Gu Yu, why are you unwilling to recruit a prince consort? If you don't want to answer, don't force it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu grabbed a pine nut from her hand. Zhao Mingzhu threw it east and she threw it west.
"I won't have any children of my own."
Gu Yu spoke lightly, and Zhao Mingzhu looked at her expression after hearing it. Gu Yu noticed her gaze.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't care. Bo Ling likes me, but he's a top scholar now, with a bright future ahead of him. He might be blinded by a momentary love, but it won't blind him forever."
"Also, I asked my brother, and his family has only had one son for five generations. It's impossible that they don't need an heir."
Zhao Mingzhu listened to her quietly and suddenly asked, "If you've never thought about it, why did you ask your brother?"
Gu Yu did not answer.
After a moment, Gu Yu sighed: "Maybe it happened, but the result is the same."
Zhao Mingzhu threw the brocade bag containing pine nuts to An Yun.
"Do you want me to give you my shoulder to lean on?"
She didn't comment much on Gu Yu's choice.
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
She was afraid that Zhao Mingzhu would say she was wrong, and she was also afraid that she would think she was too cruel.
Zhao Mingzhu watched her approaching. An Yun, who was in the distance, turned around and saw the two of them stuck together, so she hurried back.
"You two can hug each other, why did you leave me behind?"
An Yun grabbed Zhao Mingzhu's waist and seized the other shoulder, but Gu Yu took two steps back, holding the silver bills he had just taken from Zhao Mingzhu.
Shit! Zhao Mingzhu saw this and said, "I treat you as a friend, and you steal my money!"
Gu Yu fanned herself with silver coins: "This princess is using your money to give you face, don't be ungrateful."
Zhao Mingzhu cried out sadly: "Our Anzi is still well-behaved and honest."
An Yun retracted her hand from her sleeve, touched the back of her head and smiled foolishly:
"That is to say, honest people like me are rare."
