C158

For some things, since there was no other choice, there was no need to avoid it …

What should come will come.

The world was unpredictable, and no one could compete with the heavens and earth for change.

The moment he stepped into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Su Jinruo knew that some identities had already changed their original meaning …

She was a supplicant, and he was a helper.

The two of them could clap and break apart at the same time.

There was no link to benefit, much less... Between the two of them, there was a most hazy yet entangled emotion.

Su Jinruo knelt on one knee on the white jade floor and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Jinruo greets Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince greets you."

She did not use her title, which meant that she was not here to discuss matters of the imperial court.

Qian Yi glanced at Su Jinruo, but his eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Qian Yijian was full of interest, and stared straight at Su Jinruo.

Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng ignored the black-robed youth kneeling on the ground.

His gaze lingered on the document in his hand, never leaving it one bit.

He did not hear the exempt ceremony's words, and Su Jinruo did not say anything as he quietly knelt.

After a long while, the legs of the person kneeling on the ground had started to feel numb, but Shen Hancheng still did not show any signs of doing so.

Qian Yijian coughed lightly to remind Shen Hancheng not to forget about Su Jinruo's existence.

Shen Hancheng coldly glanced at Qian Yijian and then glanced at Qian Yi. Both of them clasped their hands and silently took their leave.

Smoke curled up from the incense burner on the table. The two people in the room were silent.

Shen Hancheng looked at Su Jinruo for a long time, before finally speaking coldly:

"Master Su likes to kneel that much?"

Su Jinruo did not reply, but stood up. She glanced at the extremely indifferent youth and said:

"Your Highness has said before that if anything happens to Jinruo … If you need help, you can come to the prince. I don't know if the prince … Do you still remember this? "

Shen Hancheng said with a smile that was not a smile, "So you are looking for help. This King had thought …"

He paused, and did not continue the sentence he was about to say, and turned around to face Shen Hancheng.

"You need This King's help. I presume This King told you before that you had to pay the corresponding price. Do you remember that?"

Su Jinruo blinked her eyes lightly as her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She asked, "My prince, what price do you need Jinruo to pay?"

The ridicule from the corner of Shen Hancheng's lips deepened, and his eyes... An odd expression flashed across his face as he said:

"Pleasing This King."

As if he had been met head-on, Su Jinruo took a heavy punch, and his face turned somewhat pale.

It's not that he didn't know Shen Hancheng's personality, but that he just felt that …

To her, the word 'please' was too heavy.

"My prince, Jinruo is a man, your condition …"

"You have a choice. The door is behind you, This King will definitely not stop you."

A light and emotionless voice, that sounded like it... It struck hard on Su Jinruo's heart.

The teenager in red suddenly took a step forward. He stared straight into Su Jinruo's eyes, and spoke with an overbearing tone.

"Su Jinruo, this king has already said last time that there is no longer any conflict between you and me. If you wish to request this king's help, can it be that this king does not have the power to demand of you?"

Su Jinruo stepped into his line of sight, only to see that the corner of that arrogant youth's lips was tightly curled.

Dark and deep eyes, an unfathomable depth, yet it seemed like … It faintly released a suppressed rage.

Anger?

Why was he angry?

If one were to say that the last time he had refused to approach her was because she had suggested it, then at that time, he had also silently agreed to it. Why was he so angry?

She only reminded him that Ning Xiaoyao's last words were nothing more than that.

Since the two of them were destined not to fall in love, why would they bother to open their mouths and offer each other a debt of guilt?

She couldn't get what she wanted, and as a member of the royal family, he couldn't possibly have no connection with the imperial government in his life …

She could see the road ahead clearly.

They had no future.

That day, he had come to find her and provided her with the Noble Consort Xiang's fatal weakness. She had flatly refused because …

She did not want the two of them to break up in such a clean manner. It was not in her nature to continue pestering each other.

It's also because...

She was afraid that she would be unable to extricate herself, and would sink even deeper into the abyss.

But he said... If she accepted it, the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.

Her heart ached.

In a split-second, the wound at the bottom of his heart split open.

At that moment, even the corners of his mouth could not be pulled away from the faint smile that he was most adept at.

He was the one who hurt her that day, so what right did he have to be angry?

Since there was no reason, then what was the reason why he was looking at her with such gloom in his eyes …?

After a moment of silence, Su Jinruo retracted his gaze.

Taking a step back, she bowed and cupped her hands, "Jinruo, sorry for disturbing you, farewell."

Shen Hancheng did not say anything as he turned around.

Just as her hand was about to touch the wooden door's edge, someone suddenly moved and pressed down on her slender shoulder.

After going back and forth, his body was firmly shackled. Before Su Jinruo even had the chance to react, his hot kiss directly fell on the ground.

"Seven Kings …" Su Jinruo's face changed, his wrist turned, about to stop the situation from developing.

It was a pity that the pair of large hands that had bound her suddenly moved from her thin and weak shoulders to the back of her head.

The other big palm used a little force to press her restless body against his own.

Her slender fingers didn't allow her to move at all …

Su Jinruo gritted his teeth as his lips grew stronger. The arrogant youth then bit onto her charming lips.

Powerful looting.

That frenzied and destructive kiss touched her, causing her heart to palpitate.

He also snatched her away, wanting to break free.

Forget it.

Give it a try...

It was just like what she gave herself, the last time she indulged herself.

The strength of his hands gradually decreased.

After an unknown amount of time, only a room of warmth and warmth remained in the quiet room … Disordered breathing.

His deep eyes quietly stared at the black-robed, young man.

He did not move away from her lips. His emotions, which he could not suppress, gradually became controlled.

Slowly, someone opened his mouth and said, "Besides when I was young, the death of the Consort Mother was something that this king could not control. Su Jinruo, you, are the biggest problem for this king …"

He couldn't bear to, couldn't kill, couldn't touch, couldn't leave.

He had never experienced such emotions toward a person before in his life.

Even though he said he had nothing to do with it, how much of him could actually let it go?

It was like giving him the secret of the Noble Consort Xiang, but Su Jinruo didn't have anyone in the palace and didn't need his help …

Who else could he find to verify this matter and arrange for a death?

Su Jinruo's thin and long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not speak.

"But Su Jinruo, you're not this king's match …" Shen Hancheng stared into her eyes and said:

"Regarding the matters of the palace, without the assistance of this king, no one can help you. Su Jinruo, are you sure you want to leave just like that?

Su Jinruo was rational, the reality was cruel. She understood this point very well …

If Shen Fengzhi did not leave the capital, then it would be alright if all the people from the palace took care of him.

Available...

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng with his sunken eyes, and heard him say:

"This king does not allow Shen Fengzhi to approach you."

After returning to the residence, Su Jinruo had just taken off his black cloak, when a clear voice came out from within the courtyard.

A green clothed lady stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Young Noble, this Prime Minister Su is here to see you."

"When did this happen?"

The green-robed woman replied, "Young master, you left the estate not long ago."

Su Jinruo's silent gaze slightly changed, a faint light fluctuating in her sharp and deep eyes.

Here it comes …

Unexpectedly …

This day came so quickly.

The green-clothed woman's expression was one of rare coldness as she said:

"Young master, I've already found a reason for them to leave the Prime Minister's estate, as well as the servants placed by the second lady's side."

"You did well."

Su Jinruo turned and walked a few steps.

She did not look at the green-clothed girl. Her tone was extremely indifferent, as if a light wind was blowing through the curtain.

"Find an opportunity to avoid the people in the courtyard and wait for me outside. I'll reunite with you very soon."

Su Jinruo's words caused the green clothed lady's face to turn white, "Young master, this humble servant may not be able to hear these words clearly, but this servant will definitely not be able to do so in the future … "Your servant will wait until the day that young master succeeds and leaves …"

Su Jinruo did not continue, but instead said, "If you don't leave, the people from Drunken Flower House will come to find you. Lv Ruo, if you truly want to help me, wait for me outside the manor.

Without waiting for Lv Ruo's response, Su Jinruo had already started striding and slowly walked out of Pear Garden.

The war at the imperial court was already extremely dangerous.

What's more …

It was a battle for the throne.

Even though she had a plan to retreat, she didn't dare to …

He easily had the people around him accompany him as he went to hell together.

She stood in front of Prime Minister Su and bowed respectfully, "Jinruo greets Master Father."

Prime Minister Su put down the red brush in his hand and laughed: "Jinruo is here, quickly sit down, don't be tired."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Su and Su Jinruo conversed in an extremely friendly manner. Su Jinruo, on the other hand, was not cold nor indifferent, and Prime Minister Su did not take it to heart either.

The temper of his son was like this in the first place …

Su Jinruo sat below the Prime Minister Su. Inside the room, the two were talking and laughing, and the conversation was not going to end in an awkward silence.

As if he wanted to get down to business, Prime Minister Su looked at Su Jinruo deeply and asked.

"Today, I heard that Jinruo went to visit Seventh Prince's Mansion?"

The matter of her going out was something that everyone in the courtyard knew, but other than Lv Ruo who knew of her goal, no one else knew …

Knowing that she was going to Seventh Prince's Mansion …

Su Jinruo looked at Prime Minister Su, and Prime Minister Su laughed: "Father did not have any other intentions, if it was not for Emperor's injuries, Jinruo's son would have been an ultimatum to a third stage courtier. It was time to get down. This child Jinruo left the house and did not bring any guards with him. This father acted on his own and sent a few people to secretly protect you, child Jinruo … I'm afraid you won't blame me, right? "

Su Jinruo stood up, cupped his hands, and said:

"Father is worried about Jinruo's safety, why would Jinruo blame Father."

"Alright, then I will know about Jinruo … is the child that Father has the most to worry about. "

Prime Minister Su laughed out loud, and glanced at Su Jinruo, a dark glint appearing in his eyes that no one else could fathom.

He said: "Jinruo's son has not been to the imperial court for some time, I wonder if he knows anything new about the current situation of the imperial court?"

Su Jinruo calmly looked at Prime Minister Su, his gaze deep.

"The current Son of Heaven is bedridden, the Eastern Palace Crown Prince is the supervisor of the nation, and inside the imperial court, the competition is already hot and bitter. The capital may seem calm and prosperous, but in Jinruo's eyes, it is nothing more than … It was just a calm before the storm, Jinruo had seen through Jinruo, if there are any mistakes in his words, I hope that Father can forgive me. "

The Prime Minister Su only knew that Su Jinruo was meticulous and had some exceptional qualities … Weir...

Yet he didn't know that while he was outside, he could still see the situation clearly.

He was truly worthy of being his son.

Prime Minister Su nodded his head, "Jinruo's views are indeed different from the others, but I wonder, who has the most confidence in the members of the imperial family fighting for the throne?"

Su Jinruo's eyes turned cold, she lowered her eyes, covering the chill in her eyes.

"Everyone wants to do this title of Emperor, but … However, it was not something that anyone could sit on just because they wanted to. The did not cripple the Eastern Palace, it was just for the sake of the former empress. Otherwise, how could the crown prince Shen Yuan, who was in the palace, be able to stand tall and straight, how could he remain seated in the Eastern Palace? How could the crown prince, Shen Yuan, remain seated in the palace of the former empress? Jinruo thought that those who had the strength were all chosen to become the crown prince, and not just the crown prince. "Clang."

Prime Minister Su's old eyes shrunk as he stood up with an imposing manner.

"Jinruo's words are outrageous. According to the rules of the Ranqi, you shall be sentenced to death here, Jinruo's son … Could it be that you do not know of this decree? "

Slowly, he raised his eyes and looked at the expressionless Prime Minister Su, Su Jinruo's eyes were deep and profound.

"Father's power is spread throughout the imperial court, its sharpness unstoppable. With Father's ability, even if Jinruo were to commit a crime, so what? Father … will they bear to have Jinruo be punished? "

"Is your son Jinruo trying to get along with his father?"

"Not also …" Su Jinruo quietly looked at Prime Minister Su, and said:

"Jinruo wants father … That's the only way to control the life you want... Jinruo is the only one who can take control of his own life. "

The meaning of the black-robed youth's words was to encourage him to fight with the people of the Imperial Family for status?

Prime Minister Su was stunned for a while. Su Jinruo's words made his heart turn cold.
