Afraid that the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng would notice something, Lv Ruo became anxious, but he suddenly heard Su Jinruo say to her:
"Lv Ruo, clean up these fragments. You can leave first. There are still important matters to be discussed. "
Lv Ruo looked at Shen Hancheng, only to see Shen Hancheng staring at his young master's palm, his expression was calm, he looked extremely calm, without any anger.
Lv Ruo heaved a sigh of relief, blessed Su Jinruo and said: "This servant will do as you command."
Caiyi, who was behind Su Ranxiao, also helped Lv Ruo to clear away the fragments after receiving his eyes.
After a while, the place was cleaned up, Su Ranxiao blessed his body and said, "Your highness, this official will take his leave, third brother … Rest well, and Xiao-er will come back to see you at noon. "
Su Jinruo smiled at her, "Alright."
The three of them all left the room, leaving Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng behind to tend to their wounds.
Shen Hancheng lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and carefully cleaned up the small pieces that were stuck in Su Jinruo's heart.
Su Jinruo's heart tensed up, and her expression was slightly pale. Fortunately, she had just drunk the ginger ale egg, so her expression was not as ugly as it was yesterday.
With Shen Hancheng's suspicious personality, he was afraid that this time … I'm really going to be suspicious of her...
Shen Hancheng took the cotton cloth and dipped it in water, helping Su Jinruo to wash the blood on her hands.
His expression was focused, his eyes gentle and serious. He was even more careful in washing and wiping. The feeling he gave others was as if he was cherishing the most precious treasure in the world …
This feeling again …
It was a sight that one could not look away from.
It was an uncontrollable scene where one's heartbeat quickened.
That was a feeling that would make people lose themselves in it, unable to extricate themselves, at a loss of what to do …
Su Jinruo subconsciously looked away. This kind of Shen Hancheng, to her, was extremely dangerous …
In the silence, Shen Hancheng said: "In the past, this king did not have a good temper, especially... When he met with trouble, it was difficult to control his temper. As a result, when I am unable to control my emotions, I will find it difficult to escape from my grasp and crush the things in my hands … "
Shen Hancheng said indifferently, Su Jinruo listened quietly, his right hand that was not injured, tightened even more.
With the movements of his hands, Shen Hancheng's voice was extremely calm and steady.
"However, This King has pretty much forgotten about how those injuries were. When I return to the palace, I will definitely find someone to replace This King …" "We should go through it again and again …"
After tying a knot in the gauze, Shen Hancheng glanced at Su Jinruo coldly and asked:
"City Lord Su... "What do you think?"
Su Jinruo's eyes tensed up, and he withdrew his hand from Shen Hancheng's grasp. "Your Highness, I am not intentionally hiding this from Your Highness, please forgive me."
She should know that Shen Hancheng was not an easy person to fool.
Shen Hancheng's position had determined that he would definitely not be covered in blood. The number of ghosts that had died under his hands would definitely not be less than hers …
Therefore, this person's position on the wound... He knew all the wounds he had sustained …
If he didn't help her with her wounds, that might be fine, but if he did help …
She couldn't fool him.
That was why she wanted to refuse his help.
He had no choice but to crush the porcelain bowl.
Just now, he was already outside the door, but she hadn't … I have to think of a way to deal with this. The only thing I can do is to let my sword deviate from its path … Try it.
Just what was it that Su Jinruo, that stinking brat, would dare to lie to him because of this?!
Shen Hancheng endured the anger that surged up from his heart, grabbing onto Su Jinruo's thin shoulder: "Then you'd better give this king a perfect explanation."
Su Jinruo lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I heard that yesterday … Ling'an had been in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and the flood had become a disaster. This official could not bear the suffering of the people, and was willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility to relieve the emperor of his worries and hardships. He only thought that since the Emperor would look down on this lowly official, that would be the reason for him to learn Jinruo. He would never agree to let this lowly official go. "My heart is filled with fatigue. I was so angry that I …"
She raised her eyes and met Shen Hancheng's gaze, "This official is afraid that Your Highness will look down on this subordinate, since from ancient times till now, there has never been anyone who had the ability to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. It is the following officials who have deceived Your Highness, please calm your anger, Your Highness."
Shen Hancheng stood in front of Su Jinruo, and his gaze was focused on her face, with a profound gaze.
The person's eyes were deep and serene like the night. The corner of Shen Hancheng's lips curled up into a cold smile, "I didn't expect that you would also … A day when you lose control?! "
Her eyes narrowed, her fair hands beneath her wide sleeves … Xin broke out in cold sweat.
Su Jinruo held Shen Hancheng tightly, as if she had made a great decision. She raised her hand … Caught off guard, she hugged Shen Hancheng.
The corner of Shen Hancheng's mouth froze, and his body involuntarily tensed up.
The faint, clear fragrance came from Su Jinruo's body, causing him to subconsciously recall that night when he was in a state of confusion.
The teenager's lips... It was ice-cold and without any warmth, yet it was forcefully lifted. This was the most primitive desire in his body.
As if he had realized something, Shen Hancheng was just about to push Su Jinruo away when Su Jinruo released his hand and took a few steps back.
She stared at Shen Hancheng's eyes, her pale face had an extra flush to it, "This is what it means to lose control, why can't this official have it?!"
Earlier, she had told him that she admired him. Although it wasn't a heartfelt statement, she had still said it … It was difficult to collect water.
And now, he could coincidentally use this sentence to deal with Shen Hancheng's doubts.
There was a one word difference between adoration and adoration.
More than a part of the respect, more than a part of the ownership.
She gave him a hug, just like a brother that had worked together for so many years.
Luckily, he didn't say the word adoration back then, otherwise …
Didn't he want to give her a kiss and make her suffer?!
Su Jinruo was quietly waiting for his response, but on the other side, it was as if he was frozen, with no reaction at all.
The directions that a person was thinking about were not all the same.
to embrace, as we did in the past... When Su Jinruo first met Qian Yijian.
Qian Yijian also hugged Qian Yi, without a trace of passion, and the others wouldn't think of anywhere else to go.
However …
But the current Shen Hancheng already had a feeling that he shouldn't have.
At the moment, even though he knew deep down that Su Jinruo's hug was meaningless, he was still …
Suppressing the agitation in his mind, Shen Hancheng's face turned black, the suspicion towards his feelings growing in his heart.
He glanced at Su Jinruo, and saw that her face was pale, yet tinged with a bit of red, as though she was a woman …
Looking at Shen Hancheng's leaving figure, Su Jinruo felt that it was a little strange, as though... They seemed to be fleeing for their lives.
Thinking about it, Su Jinruo shook his head, to his guess, he could not help but laugh.
How could this be possible …
Not long after Shen Hancheng left, Su Jinruo received a message.
Ninth Prince Shen Fan...
He was recommended by the Grand Commandant as a strategist for water treatment.
As for her … He was recommended by the Prime Minister Su as the minister in charge of water management.
This time, Old Emperor agreed without hesitation.
Receiving the news, the corner of Su Jinruo's lips revealed a bitter smile.
It was just some nonsense to divert Shen Hancheng's attention, but he didn't expect that... He was right.
Now that her month was not over and she was not feeling well, how could she bear such a heavy responsibility? And with it...
She was still a strong opponent who wanted to take her life … Ninth Prince — Shen Fan!
Su Jinruo had not finished digesting this yet … Like a clap of thunder, the Prime Minister Su stepped into the Qian Court with a solemn expression on his face.
In the hall, upon seeing the Prime Minister Su, a horrifying thought formed in Su Jinruo's mind.
Prime Minister Su never revealed his true emotions.
If one were to say that he was an old fox, he would not lose his title …
As it was in the past, Prime Minister Su didn't really care about her.
Whether it was himself being framed, or others, including Su Chi and Su Ranle, he did not pay much attention to either of them.
And now … Yet, he was in the imperial court, recommending him to the public for the position of water manager. Truly, he was … Incredible.
Plus, once the flood management was successful, it would be able to subdue people's hearts... Breaking off had the benefit of being easy.
It was really a bit difficult for her not to think of somewhere else to go …
The Prime Minister Su was about to take action.
Natural... The Ninth Prince Shen Fan who was recommended by the Grand Commandant was about to take action.
It looked like the huge Ranqi Empire was already surging with waves of murderous intent!
As he withdrew his thoughts, Su Jinruo faintly smiled towards the Prime Minister Su, and said: "Jinruo greets father, father is Ten Thousand Blessings."
Prime Minister Su smiled back and gently replied, "Jinruo is injured, there's no need to be so courteous."
Su Jinruo replied and stood up, the Prime Minister Su asked in a gentle tone: "Are your son's injuries better?"
The expression in Su Jinruo's eyes did not change as he replied, "Jinruo is alright."
Prime Minister Su nodded and he sat down. Between his brows, there was a faint tinge of worry as he said to Su Jinruo:
"Jinruo's son, have you heard about the Ling An Flood?"
"I heard that there are many casualties. I wonder what Your Majesty's decision is?"
The expression in the Prime Minister Su's eyes did not change as he said solemnly, "Now … The emperor has already given the order to confer you the title of minister for the treatment of water. In addition … Let Ninth Prince support you and become your advisor. "
In his sunken eyes, a trace of a strange light quickly flashed by as Su Jinruo said:
"Jinruo knows Jinruo very well, and has not truly tested him yet, I'm afraid he cannot take on this heavy responsibility."
Prime Minister Su stayed silent for a long while, and in the end, said to Su Jinruo with a fatherly tone:
"The Emperor has golden words. Even if you want to change your mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. Moreover … The royal decree will be issued soon. Child Jinruo, you cannot avoid it. Now, you should read more books on Saints, cooperate well with Ninth Prince, and cure the flood, so as to avoid causing more innocent people to suffer, and complete the heavy responsibility Emperor had entrusted to you. "
Su Jinruo nodded and agreed.
After sending off the Prime Minister Su, another person came from the Qian Court.
This person was dressed in a long purple robe and had a graceful bearing.
The corner of his lips slightly raised as he let out a trace of a smile. His pair of deep eyes carried a faintly discernible smile as he slowly walked forward.
