Chapter 49 The Ending Full Text
Before meeting the little prince of the border country, Su Mian imagined his image in his mind, guessing that he should be the traditional border Hun with a big and strong body and a beard, who would swear at every turn and would ask for gold, silver, fine wine and beautiful women.
But when the person arrived, he realized that not only was the other person different from his image, but he had even met her once before.
The person who came was the man who bumped into Su Mian's sugar figurine that day and gave him the jade pendant, calling himself Qingzhou.
"Is it you?"
Before Su Mian could be surprised, the other party asked back, causing Su Mian to complain in his heart:
[You kid are still pretending to be confused in front of me? Isn't it just intentional approaching to facilitate assassination? ]
But he was representing Cheng Changgeng at this moment, so he kept his face expressionless, bowed with a smile, and replied: "You must be His Royal Highness the Prince. I am Su Mian, the personal eunuch of the Emperor. I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince has recognized the wrong person."
He said this in a subtle way, and the other party was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled. However, he did not pursue the question of whether Su Mian was Su Er. To put it bluntly, everyone knew the answer.
Leading the little prince into the palace, Su Mian did not leave, but stood beside the empty dragon throne and said to Qingzhou: "Your Highness, it is unfortunate that you came here. The emperor has caught a cold recently, and the imperial physician has advised that he should rest and not be exposed to the wind, so the emperor specially sent a servant to receive Your Highness. If there is any negligence, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"Heh, our prince has come all the way here, but your emperor doesn't even want to see him. Could it be that he doesn't take our prince seriously and wants to break the contract?!"
The person who spoke was the sword-wielding guard who had been standing silently beside Qingzhou. Listening to what he said, Su Mian silently rolled his eyes in his heart:
[Yes, I just look down on you, so what? ]
But he still had a smile on his face: "What are you talking about? Your Highness the Prince did not inform us in advance of his visit. The Emperor was afraid that he would not be able to entertain him well, so he repeatedly told me to try my best to meet His Highness the Prince's requests."
"That......"
"Then I will ask the emperor to give it to me."
The sword-wielding guard was about to make a request, but Qingzhou spoke first.
"Of course...what?!"
Su Mian thought that he wanted some material things. He and Cheng Changgeng had already discussed this in advance. They would agree to whatever he wanted, giving them the illusion that the emperor's life or death was unknown and they were afraid.
But Su Mian never expected that this damn prince actually wanted him!
"Your Highness."
The sword-wielding guard obviously didn't expect Qingzhou to say that, and immediately lowered his head to whisper, but before he could say anything more, Qingzhou brushed him away with his hand.
He had originally come to Lanling Kingdom just to enjoy the scenery, and had no idea about the assassination. His father did not inform him in advance, and only contacted him when he needed to go to the palace to inquire about the news, without considering that he might be in danger.
Originally he didn't care, but the moment he saw Su Mian, he suddenly felt that some things still had meaning.
[What should I do? They didn’t say they would hire me directly. Does this mean they agree or disagree? Waiting online, urgent! ! ]
Su Mian was anxious, worried that she would reject Cheng Changgeng's plan, but also worried that if she nodded, the other party would take her away immediately.
Just when he didn't know how to respond, he heard footsteps behind him.
Then, Cheng Changgeng sat on the empty dragon throne.
His face looked solemn, and it was hard to tell what his physical condition was, but his displeasure was obvious from the way his face was darkened.
“I can give you anything you want. Eunuch Su is an old man by my side. He is used to it and it is not convenient for him to go with you.”
Seeing Cheng Changgeng appear, Qingzhou first saluted respectfully, and then said to Cheng Changgeng firmly: "You are the ruler of a country, and naturally people who want to serve you are flocking to you. To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I fell in love with Eunuch Su at first sight, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."
Even though he called himself a minister, he did not restrain his edge at all, as if he was determined to take Su Mian away.
"Your Highness, I am just a eunuch and cannot bear your kindness."
Su Mian received positive feedback from Cheng Changgeng, and now he spoke with a lot more confidence.
"I took your pulse."
This sentence made Cheng Changgeng and Su Mian a little confused. When had he taken Su Mian's pulse? What did this mean?
But after only a moment, Cheng Changgeng changed his mind, reminding them in disguise that he knew Su Mian was not a real eunuch.
"Except Su Mian and the prince, everyone else should step down."
Cheng Changgeng solemnly dismissed the people in the hall. The guard with a sword was about to retort when he was stopped by Qingzhou, who shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
After everyone had left, Cheng Changgeng said directly: "I don't know what your intentions are, but you can't take Su Mian away."
"If I tell others that Eunuch Su is actually a fake eunuch, what will happen?"
"You can try it. He is my man, and I am the ruler of Lanling. No one can tell me what to do in my territory. If they are from other territories, I will trample them all."
He spoke these words with great force and power, and the two people present could deeply feel his attitude; he was determined to protect Su Mian.
Su Mian pursed her lips, then took two steps forward, stared at Qing Zhou and said, "I am not your beloved. You and I have only met twice. Why should Your Highness be obsessed with me?"
Seeing their attitudes, Qingzhou would be lying if he didn't feel moved. He was born into a royal family and naturally knew how many twists and turns there were.
His father had many wives and concubines and many children and grandchildren, so he didn't care at all whether his youngest son would die tragically in a foreign land.
This is how the royal family should be. How can there be true love?
But his eyes moved back and forth between Cheng Changgeng and Su Mian, and there seemed to be something different between the two of them.
It’s hard to describe the feeling, but Qingzhou knows that he can’t take Su Mian away.
"Forget it. I didn't come here originally. There's no need to force me."
After he said that, Su Mian breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, but in his heart he was more moved by what Cheng Changgeng had done. He didn't expect that he would go straight to the border country for his sake.
[That’s not right…isn’t Cheng Changgeng in the back hall? ]
In order to prevent the secret from being exposed, Su Mian came out to receive the envoy today. Cheng Changgeng had no intention of ruling the country from behind the scenes, so he stayed in the back hall.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to immediately receive the news that the little prince was going to take him away.
strangeness……
Su Mian narrowed his eyes and felt something was wrong. He looked at Cheng Changgeng who was sitting at the top and felt that Cheng Changgeng seemed a little stiff.
[After the person leaves, I have to ask him some questions. ]
Cheng Changgeng listened to all of Su Mian's inner thoughts and felt very guilty. He wondered whether he should tell Su Mian about this.
Cheng Changgeng was still in a daze until Qingzhou had left.
"Cheng Changgeng, Cheng Changgeng!"
Su Mian had walked up to Cheng Changgeng without him noticing. He waved his hand in front of Cheng Changgeng and pretended to be angry and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
This is an affirmative sentence, not a question.
"Well……"
Cheng Changgeng suddenly felt his throat a little dry and wanted to brush it off, but when he met Su Mian's eyes, he couldn't bear to lie.
"Then I said, you are not allowed to be angry."
"good."
"I can actually hear what you're saying."
"What's the meaning."
"It's...similar to mind reading."
"When did it happen?"
"You start from the first day you come here."
“…”
“Mianmian…”
"So what was I thinking about just now?"
"The dog emperor is a beast."
"hiss……"
Su Mian took a deep breath. He was not angry, but was glad that he was lucky. He remembered that he had cursed Cheng Changgeng countless times in his heart, but how could he hold on until now? !
[Amitabha, God bless you.] ]
"It's not God's blessing, it's me."
When Cheng Changgeng said this, there was a hint of cocky praise in his tone.
"So I don't have a system at all, and you've always been the one meeting all my requests?"
"It should be."
Cheng Changgeng thought for two seconds and was still not sure. What if Su Mian really had an unreliable system?
“A large-scale social death scene.”
Su Mian held his forehead with his hand. He had often been secretly bullying Cheng Changgeng.
"Actually...I can go in even if you dream."
Cheng Changgeng brought up this matter on purpose, for no other reason than that he wanted to see Su Mian's cute embarrassed look.
Not surprisingly, he succeeded.
Su Mian was so embarrassed that his entire neck, ears and cheeks turned red. He remembered that he had had many “sweet dreams”! ! I am too embarrassed to see anyone! ! !
"Mianmian."
Cheng Changgeng stepped forward and pulled Su Mian into his arms: "I've seen you in all your looks, don't think too much."
Su Mian said nothing, just felt awkward, and silently decided to ignore Cheng Changgeng for three days.
"Don't ignore me for three days."
When Cheng Changgeng heard his thoughts, he immediately interrupted and said, "My wife can't ignore me for three days!"
"Damn it! No privacy at all!"
Su Mian gave up struggling.
——
Su Mian personally saw Qingzhou off on the day he left. It was also at that time that he learned that it was not Qingzhou who assassinated Cheng Changgeng, so he let down his guard against him.
"If you regret it later, you can still come to Manchun Pavilion to find me."
"You are telling us that Manchun Pavilion is your hideout.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can help you."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Can I give you a hug?"
Su Mian hesitated for a moment, looked up at a place not far away, shook his head and said, "No, I will be jealous. I wish you a safe journey."
Following his line of sight, Qingzhou looked over and saw Cheng Changgeng as expected.
He shrugged, turned and left, raised his hand and waved it in the air without looking back.
——
Two years later, Cheng Changgeng settled everyone in the palace and approved everyone who wanted to leave the palace. He announced to the public that he wanted to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in order to seek peace and quiet.
What no one expected was that Su Mian also left.
After leaving Kyoto, Su Mian went straight to Manchun Pavilion, found the owner, took out the jade pendant, and explained his purpose.
The owner left for a while and came back, handing Su Mian a small box.
After Su Mian left, Qing Zhou came out from behind and murmured to himself, "It's enough that he can trust me to this extent."
In the past two years, his father never gave up on assassinating Cheng Changgeng, but every attempt ended in failure.
Despite this, he felt honored that Su Mian was still willing to come to Manchun Pavilion to get medicine from him.
Then, within half a month, the emperor passed away, the whole country mourned, and the eldest prince succeeded to the throne.
In the streets and alleys, in the wonton shop, the two dressed up as ordinary people, and heard the wonton shop owner introduce: "My wontons are so delicious that even the emperor praised them highly."
The two smiled at each other, finished their wontons, and walked into the forest hand in hand.
He lived in seclusion since then.
