Su Jinruo's condescending position did not budge the slightest bit.
Shen Hancheng lifted his eyes and stretched out his hand. His long, jade-like fingers lightly slid across Su Jinruo's face cloth and slowly approached her ears. In the blink of an eye, he was about to remove her face cloth, but then he suddenly heard Su Jinruo say:
"The pain of my skin being torn apart, the pain of my mother's death, the fire that was deliberately burning, all this has destroyed my life and taken away my most treasured person. Thus, at that time, I swore that I would definitely behead my enemy in my lifetime, but that enemy died before I could take my revenge. My heart is filled with hatred, I have no one to entrust me to. If I were to fall in love with someone and cause trouble, I would kill them and set them on fire. I would be a traitor if I were to commit a crime.
And then I met a mother who was poor and weak, kneeling down in order to save her sick child and asking for help. That love, the love that was brought back to me, was to dress up and become a new person, but it was too much to blame, and my mother will definitely blame me for it, so she won't show me her true face ever again. If Your Highness insists on taking my face, I'll ask Your Highness to grant me death. "
Shen Hancheng was slightly startled, taking the opportunity to take a few steps back, then knelt down on one knee.
I am Gou, and have secretly lived. I managed the Jade Mansion, and after earning a little bit of money, I gave it to those pitiful vagabonds to atone for their sins. I will only dare to meet my mother again after my soul has returned to the heavens. I will grimace in pain when I think about her, but this is a taboo of mine. I hope that Your Highness can let me off! "
With every word, she spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. Her words were as calm as still water, yet each word was filled with true love, and each sentence was captivating.
In the past, when she looked through the information regarding the imperial concubine that Mu Jing had sent over, she had unintentionally seen the mysteriousness of the death of Shen Hancheng's birth mother.
In less than three years, in Consort Ning's residence, Consort Ning's and Shen Hancheng's residence, as well as Seventh Prince's hall, all caught on fire at the same time. According to the information, other than Shen Hancheng, none of the people inside had survived.
How could the harem be so easily flooded? Furthermore, it was aimed at Shen Hancheng. Su Jinruo didn't even need to think to know that the fire had definitely been intentional.
As a result, she invented a story to confuse Shen Hancheng.
However, this was a gamble.
Betting on Shen Hancheng's concern for his mother and also betting on his humanity.
If Shen Hancheng didn't care about his Consort Mother at all, and couldn't let Shen Hancheng feel the same way, or make him feel sympathy, then even if she said all sorts of nonsense, with her true feelings, it would be useless.
Seeing that Shen Hancheng did not say anything, she did not have the intention to continue, nor did she have the intention to let her go.
Su Jinruo's eyes flashed, he raised his head and looked straight at Shen Hancheng, only to see Shen Hancheng looking down at her, his eyes filled with strange emotions.
Not Fire enough...
Su Jinruo blinked his eyes, and then sighed slowly.
Your Highness, please remember to take my corpse to the house of the shopkeeper in Jade Mansion and tell him to burn my body to ashes and just throw it on the ground.
She reached out her hand and slowly walked to her ear. Before she finished removing the bandages on her face scarf, she heard Shen Hancheng say, "If you were not acting in front of this duke, the others would all believe in you."
Su Jinruo's movements froze, but Shen Hancheng revealed a carefree smile, his gaze focused on Su Jinruo, becoming extremely sharp.
"This King is not interested in your appearance or your background. This King only believes that you are similar to someone and wants to take off your mask to see if it's him. "
Su Jinruo put down his hand, and then heard Shen Hancheng say, "However, from the looks of it, you are definitely not him."
Nameless, it couldn't be Su Jinruo.
Su Jinruo liked using the sword as an opponent, even if it meant that her life was in danger, she still wanted to continue until the end.
He would protect himself with his life.
Su Jinruo would patiently endure and bow down, but the person in front of him, knew not.
If he was asked to enter the imperial court, he would just say that he was afraid of strangers and refuse to do anything. He would completely disregard his own identity.
If he was asked to take the cloth, he would directly use his death to reveal his intentions. He was completely forcing himself to make a decision.
Su Jinruo would never force him, he wanted him to learn how to shoot within two days. Even though he was angry in his heart, he still listened to his orders, never forced him with his identity, and never used his father's power to force him.
Hearing this, Su Jinruo said: "Listening to Prince's tone, it seems that you're going to let me off?"
"Let you go?" A mocking smile hung on Shen Hancheng's face. "You dare to attack this king, and dare to think about making this king let you go?"
"Then what does Your Highness want?"
"Have your trusted aides take your place as officials."
As the cold and hard voice entered his ears, the gaze Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng with, suddenly gained a hint of complex light.
In the silent night, the sky was full of stars, shining in the sky.
After Su Jinruo agreed to Shen Hancheng becoming an official, all the rumors that were unfavorable to the Jade Mansion on the streets left and right like a flood, without a sound.
The seal in the restaurant was torn off, everything returned to its original state.
Su Jinruo leaned against a pillar of the pavilion at the Qian Lou Garden, his hands folded across his chest.
The night wind blew by, lifting up the black hair on both sides of her face. The leaves of the wutong tree by her side also rustled in the wind.
She gazed into the distance, not knowing where the focal point was.
Mama Fang held the lamp and walked to Su Jinruo's side. Seeing her deep in thought, he did not disturb her and with light movements, he stood at the side behind her.
Su Jinruo's long eyelashes fluttered, and under the moonlight, her gaze appeared even colder and more lonely.
"It's late at night, isn't mama going to rest?"
Seeing her speak, the Mama Fang immediately took the lantern and walked to her, bowing respectfully: "Reporting to Young Noble, this old servant saw that Young Noble was standing alone here, so …"
Su Jinruo lowered his hand, hung it at his side, and faintly smiled at Mama Fang. "Grandma, don't worry, I was just casually asking."
Ever since she had been sucked into the imperial court, so many things had happened. She had never had the time to sort out her thoughts. Only after she had dealt with the matters of Jade Mansion and Jade Mansion did she come here.
All along, she thought that the Prime Minister Su was just too powerful, and was a threat to the imperial power.
Who knew that the Prime Minister Su would want this world, and overturn this empire?
Currently, she was the direct descendant of the Prime Minister Su, so her every action and action would be related to the Prime Minister Su.
And the ambitions of the Prime Minister Su, as well as the power backing him, would be extremely disadvantageous to her.
Old Emperor's attitude to her was unclear. Noble Consort Xiang's attitude to her was fickle, but she did not know if there were hidden secrets behind all these things.
And there was also Shen Hancheng. Perhaps before today, she still viewed him as an enemy, an enemy that she had to kill.
But after the incident at Jade Mansion, she found out that in the eyes of the common people, the most bloodthirsty and cruel Seventh Prince was actually a true filial son …
Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt sympathy for her and taken a step back to allow her trusted aides to take her place as court officials.
Everything was thrown into chaos.
Mama Fang smiled benevolently: "Young master is so kind, why would this old servant be nervous? This old servant only saw the worry on Young Master's face, and did not dare reply loudly."
Su Jinruo raised his eyebrow, and asked: "Worry?"
"Yes." Mama Fang nodded and sighed, "Young Master is only twenty-eight years old, but he carries such a heavy burden. Every day, he goes about with it.
Speaking of that, Mama Fang suddenly hung the lamp in his hand on a tree trunk. He slowly walked in front of Su Jinruo and took out a bright yellow protective talisman from his sleeves.
She looked at Su Jinruo with a friendly face, "Although Sir told this old servant to not leave the Qian Court if there's nothing else, it was Buddha's Day yesterday. The peace that the temple had requested for was extremely effective, this old servant just went out for a while …"
Mama Fang passed the protective talisman in his hand to Su Jinruo. Su Jinruo was startled for a moment, and hurriedly received it.
The Mama Fang laughed: "This old servant does not understand the benevolent ways of government officials, I only know that one day I will be safe and good. If Young Noble does not mind, I will bring it along, the protective talisman in the Spiritual Light Temple is very effective."
"It's late at night. Young master, please rest early. This old servant will take his leave." Mama Fang bowed to Su Jinruo and turned to return to his own room.
Spiritual Light Temple.
Buddhist Festival.
The Buddhist Festival at the Spiritual Light Temple?
Su Jinruo had heard of this. I heard that as long as you are sincere and kowtow from the foot of the mountain one step at a time to the top of the mountain, the protective talisman you have requested will fuse with all of your prayers and blessings and ensure your safety for the rest of your life.
Normally, Mama Fang's walking speed could not be considered fast, but it was at a speed similar to fast. But now, he walked forward slowly, step by step.
Su Jinruo looked at Mama Fang's back, his gaze as deep as the night, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, a shadow appearing in her eyes.
Finally, she placed the talisman in the robe in front of her chest and returned to the bedroom.
Baili Miyun did not disappoint her expectations. Back then, it was precisely because Su Jinruo saw her pride in her that he wanted to nurture her.
Now that Baili Miyun's injuries had improved and Lv Ruo had taught her some martial arts, she no longer looked as haggard and weak as before.
While waiting for the official case, one day, Lv Ruo was practicing martial arts in Pear Garden. After looking at it for a while, Su Jinruo said lightly: "If you win, go back here and continue practicing martial arts."
Lv Ruo knew what Su Jinruo meant. Su Jinruo was saying that her training in Pear Garden was like a flirt trying to act out a joke.
Lv Ruo pursed her lips, Young Noble, you despise him too much!
After that, Lv Ruo chased after them everyday to vent the anger in his heart.
In the beginning, when he heard Su Jinruo say that there was no need to hold back, he dared to retaliate.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since that time, Su Ranxiao had never once appeared before Su Jinruo's eyes again.
Su Jinruo was too lazy to think about it. When he needed help, Su Ranxiao would appear again.
On the same day, someone from the palace arrived. They weren't here to deliver an ultimatum, but … Propagate her into the palace!
As the young eunuch walked on the road of the palace, Su Jinruo kept thinking to himself, the Old Emperor suddenly summoned her into the palace.
