Qing Shui smiled bashfully. Su Jinruo accepted the letter and said, "Thank you, Lady Qing Shui."
She wanted to turn and leave, but was called back by Qing Shui.
Qing Shui stood in front of her, and stared fixedly into Su Jinruo's deep eyes.
She said, "I don't know if Master Su is free right now, but I think that tomorrow's Master Su will need to deal with matters related to the County Magistrate. He will definitely have no extra time, and tomorrow night is also a banquet, so my lord doesn't have much time." So Qing Shui thought, could the Master Su accompany Qing Shui for a walk and have a chat? "
The more Qing Shui spoke, the lower his head became. His face was red, as if it could drip blood.
Also …
The woman's face had always been frivolous, but now that it was considered as a confession, it was difficult for her to do so … It was hard to tell how many thoughts and struggles he had gone through before he mustered the courage to say such words.
But...
Su Jinruo knew that sometimes being kind to someone was the most cruel thing one could do to her …
Everyone knew what Qing Shui was thinking about her.
In love, in this life... She and Qing Shui, there was no way that there would be any results.
Su Jinruo slowly raised his eyes, "My apologies, Lady Qing Shui, I am unable to agree to your request."
Qing Shui's face paled, but he quickly said: "Qing Shui knows that Sir is busy with work, Qing Shui will …"
"Lady Qing Shui," Su Jinruo cut her off, "Some people can't be trusted just by looking at the surface. Maybe …
There were secrets that could not be revealed to the public that were concealed within her body. There were some feelings that you should not have, and you should not have fallen into depravity. Otherwise, when the calamity was beyond redemption, there would be no one … It can save you. "
Qing Shui's big eyes immediately turned red, but he said:
"Sir, you are not a cold-hearted person. Qing Shui believes that you can do whatever you want with your heart. Qing Shui will follow you back to the capital. He does not ask for any status, he only wants to stay by Sir's side."
"For feelings that shouldn't exist, I … He chose to destroy her and asked Lady Qing Shui … "Don't force me."
Warm liquid gushed out of his eye sockets. Qing Shui covered the corner of his mouth with his hands, as if he could not stand Su Jinruo's attack. He lowered his head and fled in panic.
Qing Shui was not the only one who couldn't stand her words.
The youth that was standing nearby and quietly watching their every move also trembled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sink down.
Some feelings should not be, could not be lost.
He … Has he fallen into depravity now?
The hand by his side clenched into a fist. There was no hesitation in the youth's eyes. He had dodged it, so … So he didn't sink into feelings that he shouldn't have, right?
But why …
Why did the person he saw as an enemy grabbed his arm and turned his back to him?
As he bent over the petite youth's ear, he had an impulse …
Do you have the urge to immediately move forward and increase the distance between them?
They had no reason to be impulsive. They simply didn't want to get so close to each other …
Like... His original residence had been arranged.
He did not think about it, nor did he have any reason to reject it. He just did not want to … They had more opportunities to get along.
I just don't want to, I just don't want to...
By... Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng lived together with the poor peasants. Even if the poor farmers' lives were subsidized, their living conditions did not improve.
The houses of the poor peasants were extremely small, so Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng slept in the same room.
After showing the letter that Hong Ling sent, Su Jinruo returned to his room.
Everything in the capital was safe and sound.
However, from the information that came from the Drunken Flower House, the capital seemed to be … It was going to change.
As a member of the royal family, it was taboo to feel unwell.
Old Emperor was obviously old and haggard in handling national affairs. When he was ill, it would definitely cause a commotion.
Then … Shen Fan and Shen Hancheng were both outside, regardless of whether it was the situation or the people, they were both at a disadvantage.
Su Jinruo picked up a book to read, his thoughts not in the book. According to the current situation, the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng does not care about the throne, he is not anxious, but …
But Ninth Prince, Shen Fan cared about it, so … Within these two days, he would definitely be able to do something.
A cold smile suddenly emerged from the corner of his lips as a profound light flashed in Su Jinruo's eyes. It was no wonder that Shen Fan would repeat this action again and again today … Asking her to belong to him.
Shaking her head, she dismissed the distracting thoughts in her head.
After returning to the capital the day after tomorrow, they would be able to see Senior Servant Mu and the others in just a few days. Thinking of this, the corner of Su Jinruo's lips curled up as he shot his gaze into the book and started to quietly read.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Jinruo was immersed in the vast mysteries of the books, not knowing the timing.
Someone walked in quickly and stood in front of the door. She looked around but did not see anyone she wanted to see. She said:
"Master Su, Master Su, has Seventh Prince returned yet?"
Su Jinruo took a step forward, "No, Your Highness hasn't come back yet."
"That's strange …" Qinglan bit her lips and said, "In the past few days, Your Highness has never returned so late. Moreover …" When the prince went out, it was in the afternoon.
He said that he was going to look for Master. Back then, Qinglan had told him that she was at the dam, and it was getting dark, and Master had also returned early. But now, His Highness had not returned. Did something happen? "
An accident?
With Shen Hancheng's power, it was likely that there weren't many people in this world who were his match …
and so on...
It didn't seem certain. If his opponent was a girl …
As if he had thought of something, Su Jinruo's eyes trembled, said a sentence, and ran out of the room.
"You guys eat first, I'll go out and find the prince."
"Sigh, Master Su, Master Su …"
Qinglan's gaze followed Su Jinruo the whole way as she bit her lips and exerted even more strength. Only when a bite mark appeared on her lips did she loosen her grip.
Her voice was faint, but it wasn't hard to hear the guilt in it.
"I know that Master Su is a good person and a good official. Seventh Prince is also a good person and a good prince, but...
"The person whom Qinglan likes is a good person and a good official. I have no choice but to listen to his words. Therefore, I can only let you guys down …"
He didn't know how dark it was outside until he got out of the room.
Qinglan said that since Shen Hancheng knew about her dam, he should look for it first.
It was dark outside, but fortunately, Su Jinruo had good night vision, which was why he did not fall.
Running all the way to the dam, Su Jinruo shouted, "Your Highness!"
"Are you looking for this king or Shen Fan?"
The sound of the river flowed into his ears.
Su Jinruo searched for …
When she looked over, she saw someone standing in the dark corner with his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking at her with an expressionless face.
Although the person in her eyes had been treating her this way for the past few months, she still endured after thinking about how she had saved her life many times.
Walking forward, Su Jinruo bent down and said to Shen Hancheng: "Your Highness, hurry up and go back. Everyone in the Qing Clan is very worried about you."
Shen Hancheng stared at her, and almost blurted out, "Are you worried about this king too?"
Su Jinruo looked up in astonishment, yet Shen Hancheng had already spread open her long legs, and walked a few steps forward.
With no time to ponder over the matter, Su Jinruo had no choice but to quickly keep up with Shen Hancheng's footsteps.
Silence slowly spread out around the two of them.
On the quiet road, there was only the sound of steady footsteps.
Suddenly, a hint of sternness flashed through Su Jinruo's pitch-black eyes.
In the next moment, Shen Hancheng waved his hand, and all the stones on the ground moved according to his hand.
It suddenly swept forward in front of them.
In an instant, the flying stones turned into sharp blades and pierced through the air.
At that time, even the air seemed to be filled with a chilling intent.
His movements were too sudden and too quick. The shadows hidden in the grass were caught off guard.
They subconsciously swayed their bodies, and then they leapt out of the darkness, and encircled Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng, one by one.
They held sharp blades in their hands, and slowly approached Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng.
Su Jinruo frowned, but Shen Hancheng had already started to provoke him.
"Those who wish to die should stay. This King... like the beauty of adulthood. "
Seems to be … Unable to tolerate Shen Hancheng's arrogant and conceited tone, the black figures all raised their swords and rushed towards them.
This time, Shen Hancheng did not hold Su Jinruo's hand and allowed the black figures to attack Su Jinruo as they pleased.
The sword stabbed over, Su Jinruo's body moved to the side, dodging the attack of the sharp sword.
She glanced at Shen Hancheng, and seeing that he did not intend to help her, her heart trembled slightly.
Trembling what?
Was it trembling that he was finally about to reveal his true strength, or was it … The cold-blooded ruthlessness that shook Shen Hancheng?
After all … They had lived and died together, and now they were even stranger than strangers?
As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his arm, causing Su Jinruo to groan out subconsciously.
She shifted her gaze away and looked at the wound on her arm, which continuously overflowed with blood. She felt a moment of absent-mindedness.
When had she ever, in a life or death situation, hurt herself because of a single person's absent-mindedness?
The blade and sword at the side had no eyes, and was about to ruthlessly slash at her delicate neck.
At this moment, a hand faster than a blade encircled her waist, pulling her along and avoiding the descending blade.
The black shadow frowned, as though he had been waiting for Shen Hancheng's move.
The blade and sword in their hands moved back, and the black figures surrounding them all reached out their hands, attacking towards Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng's backs.
His body was pushed hard by someone, and after a gust of wind passed his ears, Su Jinruo's lips suddenly felt warm.
The stars were hidden in the darkness, not a single star could be seen.
Silence.
The warmth of his lips assaulted her.
Whose heart was beating in disorder?
And who was it …? His mind was blank?
Shen Hancheng's powerful arm wrapped around Su Jinruo's waist, but he stood in place.
After a few months of heat, that … The sensation that he had always wanted to forget and ignore came once again.
Shen Hancheng stared at Su Jinruo's pair of eyes, which were wide open. An inexplicable impulse surged into his mind, suppressing his strongest reasoning.
He thought... Continue.
Yes, he wanted to taste it on his lips.
In his surroundings, the killing intent retreated. As the figure moved, Su Jinruo only felt that … The strength of his waist increased.
The two of them, who were already very close to each other, stuck even more closely to each other.
The eyes of the person in front of him were as dark as night. It was as though they were suppressing something, causing them to appear extremely dangerous.
Suppressing something...
Shen Hancheng, what is he suppressing?
