C83

A sliver of evasion flashed past Su Jinruo's eyes before they were drowned in his calm pupils.

She raised her eyes coldly, looked at Shen Hancheng and said: "Could it be that Your Highness is also a good person like Long Shiyang?"

The current son of the Prime Minister Su, Su Jinruo, had an obsession with breaking his sleeves, and the good aspects of Long Shiyang were no longer a secret. It was likely that the person before him had also heard of him.

And … People in the royal family regarded this as a taboo. This … Presumably, Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was even more so aware of it.

When Su Jinruo said this, there was no doubt … They wanted to force Shen Hancheng to let go of her so that they wouldn't be scum.

Although he did not know if Shen Hancheng would care about all these, but right now … There was no other way.

If she struggled, Shen Hancheng would definitely bind her even more tightly. Or perhaps, due to the distance between them, the two of them accidentally touched each other's skin …

All of these were useless actions.

Even … A dangerous move to expose her as a woman!

Therefore, Su Jinruo could only incite them with his words, in the hope that … Shen Hancheng will have some scruples.

She sensed that her body was extremely tensed up, yet she still forced herself to be calm as she met his eyes, attempting to achieve some sort of goal.

That unyielding gaze was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.

Shen Hancheng's heart palpitated with fear, but he still raised his hand to brush away the black hair beside Su Jinruo's face.

Su Jinruo's bare hand that was in front of Shen Hancheng's chest had long been clenched into a fist, and his palm was sticky.

The finger that could be used to touch her skin at any moment was dangerously sliding past her eyes.

The possibility of his identity being revealed was something that required every second of his life.

His heart was thumping nonstop, a crack could faintly be seen on Su Jinruo's calm face.

Just as his heart was speeding up, he heard Shen Hancheng's soft laughter entering his ears.

Su Jinruo narrowed his eyes, yet, Shen Hancheng released her and let her have a peaceful heart.

"From the looks of it, City Lord Su is very afraid of this king touching you. Could it be that... City Lord Su is only a girl, you are afraid of touching this king, but this king will not be able to take it, and die?

This speech …

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng. She knew that Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng had really suspected her!

Without a doubt, doubt!

Should she continue hiding, or should she inform him?!

After all, they had a common goal and could be considered as grasshoppers on the same level.

If she were to tell him this secret, the possibility of her revealing her identity again would be close to zero.

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng and saw that Shen Hancheng's eyes were deep, staring straight at her.

The corner of his mouth slightly curled up. It was not the mocking arc, but the arc that was somewhere between a smile and a faint smile.

"What, is answering this king's question difficult for City Lord Su?!"

No, no!

She absolutely could not say!

Even if the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng himself were to probe her, she couldn't say it.

From the time they had eaten dinner until the time she had walked out of his study, they had gotten along quite well in those few hours.

But in the blink of an eye, Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng began to probe her if there was anything wrong.

This person …

She couldn't trust someone who was too wise and secretive!

Being found out about her daughter's identity was secondary. Most importantly, if she wasn't the son of a Prime Minister Su and was discovered by him, and then investigated further, then no one would be able to predict …

Su Jinruo's heart slowly sunk, but on her face, she still carried a faint smile.

Taking a step forward, he arrived in front of Shen Hancheng.

She raised her eyes and looked at Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, saying, "The prince is a dragon and phoenix among men, he is extremely talented. Even if it is over a thousand years of writing, the prince is still proficient in it and is able to compile it. Furthermore, the prince has an unparalleled beauty. He even helped this official so many times that this official was filled with admiration. If the prince were to approach this official any further, this official would probably … It's hard to suppress my emotions. If I were to do something so disrespectful to you, Seventh Prince, at that time … "

"I'm afraid that's the result that neither the prince nor this official wants to see. Therefore, this official has never … "They won't do as you wish. Let the prince get close to prevent any trouble."

Hearing this, even though he knew that the words eight out of ten were false, the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was still restless and in a state of disarray.

In terms of acting, who didn't?

Especially Su Jinruo, ever since she came to this dynasty, she had been living a lie.

As for her, she was an expert at spouting nonsense.

He thought that after she had finished speaking, the treatment she would receive would at least be thrown out of the Duke Palaces by the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, and perhaps even more miserable!

But at the very least, it could divert Shen Hancheng's attention, causing him to feel a sense of disgust towards him, and thus distance himself from him.

Then, she could be considered to have achieved her goal of not asking Shen Hancheng further.

However, the most unexpected thing was …

Shen Hancheng seemed to be calming down his emotions, and quietly stared at Su Jinruo for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "From today onwards, City Lord Su can only tell this duke that if this duke hears from his own mouth who this City Lord Su admires, this duke will definitely not forgive you!"

Su Jinruo, "..."

Because of these words, Su Jinruo thought that he might end up being bad friends with Shen Hancheng, and his life in the imperial court, would be even worse.

He had never thought that it would be such a result.

Su Jinruo's gaze fell upon Shen Hancheng. Originally, she was speaking nonsense and wanted to fight with the people in front of her, but she was helpless against the person in front of her.

It looked like it wasn't a strange matter for the Southern to lose to the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng.

It was all because …

He cared about the fact that others said that he possessed the strength of Long Tuyang, the Southern Imperial Heir s. Therefore, she would always be able to use this to shift the focus of his attention.

And the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, could simply be said to not care in the slightest about breaking his sleeve.

Even if it was a man who liked him, he would still dare to keep that person by his side.

He had even planned to use domineering and forceful words to block that man's retreat.

Su Jinruo smiled. Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, good!

The sky gradually brightened as the ground became hazy, as if it was covered in a silver gray muslin.

Someone pushed open the door and entered slowly.

The sound of footsteps came from afar and approached. The person in the black robe was walking slowly towards the youth who was lying on the exquisite wooden bed with his eyes closed.

The young man's skin was extremely white, so white that it was almost transparent. The green veins of his bloodline could clearly be seen on the back of his hand that was pressed tightly against her cheek.

The dim light shone through, shining on the youth's long and thick eyelashes, leaving a faint shadow behind.

When he closed his eyes, although he couldn't see the serenity and profoundness in them, his cold eyes were like the surface of a well.

However, Shen Hancheng could still imagine that when the youth had a faint smile on his face, the corners of his eyes and faint eyebrows had curved up slightly.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to wake the sleeping youth in front of him.

However, the hand that was about to land on the youth's shoulder paused for a moment.

Shen Hancheng looked at Su Jinruo, his eyes squinted, and moved his hand up slightly.

On the young man's fair face with a touch of gentleness, it stopped.

His slender, jade-like fingers slowly descended. Just as they were about to touch it, a sudden change occurred.

The youth with closed eyes suddenly flipped over and avoided his finger.

As it emitted light, a sharp blade that reflected a cold light instantly touched Shen Hancheng's warm skin.

Outside the window, the sun gradually rose, bringing with it its passion, hugging the earth, warming everyone in the world.

The only thing that could not be warm was this room, which was covered in a layer of snow and ice, where killing intent could erupt at any time.

Su Jinruo half-knelt on the bed, and between her eyebrows, not a single trace of emotion could be seen.

A pair of deep eyes stared coldly at the person in front of them without a trace of emotion.

Her slender fingers tightly gripped the dagger as she mercilessly placed it on Shen Hancheng's neck.

Her delicate skin had been cut by the sharp dagger, leaving a shallow wound that overflowed with traces of blood.

Shen Hancheng's hand stopped in midair and did not retract.

He looked at Su Jinruo and did not speak.

He was just quietly waiting for her to come back to her senses.

As if she had clearly seen who had arrived, Su Jinruo immediately retracted her dagger. Glancing at the blood color on Shen Hancheng's neck, she immediately lowered her head and cupped her hands: "This official does not know that I am the Prince, and accidentally injured the Prince. I hope that you can forgive me, Your Highness."

Seeing that it was Shen Hancheng, Su Jinruo's heart tightened.

Last time she and the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng had slept under the same tent, the reason why she was able to avoid hurting Shen Hancheng was because she had not slept at all.

She had been on guard this whole time, afraid that Shen Hancheng would suddenly flip over and touch her, causing him to have a red rash on his face and exposing the secret of her body.

Or perhaps, she was afraid that Shen Hancheng might want to probe her, and she could use this to divert Shen Hancheng's attention so that he would no longer be in the same tent as her.

But now …

Su Jinruo slightly pursed her lips, she had truly fallen asleep.

However, he noticed that someone was pushing the door open, so he was startled awake and kept dozing off to see what the person wanted to do.

Unexpectedly, a warm air came close to his face, and he immediately decided that no matter who it was, they would definitely suffer some physical pain.

Now, seeing that the one who came was Shen Hancheng, Su Jinruo's eyelashes fluttered slightly, the fingers holding the dagger became slightly white.

Looks like Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng really does know how to use his own body to probe.

Shen Hancheng quietly stood in front of Su Jinruo's bed and extended a finger, touching his cold neck, causing a smear of blood to enter his eyes.

The corner of Shen Hancheng's mouth slightly curved upwards as he looked at Su Jinruo, and said: "You injured this king.

"It's this official's fault for injuring Your Highness, but this official has told Your Highness before that I have the habit of injuring others by mistake, and …"

Su Jinruo raised his eyes, looked at Shen Hancheng, and said: "Moreover, this official would never have thought that the prince would come to my room, which was the reason for the accident. I hope that the prince will be magnanimous, and not bother with this official."

When Su Jinruo finished, he did not see any reaction from her. He did not continue pursuing the matter, but he had no intention of letting her go.
