His strength was ferocious and violent, and faintly, it carried punishment and … Deep pity and heartache.
Su Jinruo gradually stopped struggling, her arms wrapped around Shen Hancheng's neck, allowing him to move around freely.
In love, there was no right or wrong, no truth or falsehood.
There was only who he loved the most …
Who, cared more about who …
I don't know, I've heard it somewhere.
No matter... How wrong she was, and how wrong I was when she started to cry.
Moreover, Su Jinruo did not do anything wrong, she was just stupid …
Stupid, causing his heart to ache …
After Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng changed their clothes, Qian Yi instructed the butler to cook the ginger soup for the two of them.
Shen Hancheng passed it to Su Jinruo, who stopped wiping his hair and took the ginger soup, drinking it.
After drinking it, he gave it to Shen Hancheng, who placed the porcelain bowl to the side and started to wipe his hair.
They looked at each other, but remained silent, staring at each other.
Like an awkward lover, no one wanted to be the first to speak.
Silent and eerie atmosphere... After a long while, Shen Hancheng suddenly moved.
He reached out and took one of her hands and pulled her into his arms.
Carefully and patiently, he wiped her hair and then used his inner force to dry it.
Immediately after, he called Su Jinruo over … Pressing on the bed, he wrapped her in his embrace.
Su Jinruo stared at him, and remained silent.
From her point of view, she could see the deep darkness that hid the depths of his eyes.
With a touch of warmth on her lips, Shen Hancheng kissed her once, and then...
Turning, he put his arm around her waist and turned her body toward him.
His head was lowered to her forehead, his eyes locked, and he whispered:
"In the future, you're not allowed to cry."
Su Jinruo did not reply, but pulled her hand and pulled her sleeve.
On his wrist that was as white as jade, a hideous scar impressively appeared in front of his eyes, landing on Shen Hancheng's heart.
The expression in Su Jinruo's eyes changed slightly. He wanted to retract his hand, but he lightly kissed the place where her wound was located.
He lovingly covered all of her wounds with his own aura.
Su Jinruo's heart was stifled. He said, "Jinruo, you must remember that when you're in pain, this duke will hurt even more than you."
So... Don't let this king suffer easily, okay?
The rain was falling so fast that it suddenly started to rain, but on rainy days, it was the best time to sleep. When Su Jinruo woke up, the sky was already dark.
Shen Hancheng was not by his side.
She reached out her hands to the side, an ice-cold temperature assaulted her mind, causing Su Jinruo to retract his hand and put on the fox fur coat as he got off the bed.
When Lv Ruo heard the commotion, he pushed the door open and entered to wait.
She prepared a mask and hot water, and when she pushed open the door and entered, Su Jinruo was already done.
She opened a corner of the curtain and stood quietly by the window, looking out from the inside.
Lv Ruo placed the hot water to the side and spoke to Su Jinruo:
"Princess, wash your face."
Possible... It was because Shen Hancheng was not too close to women that there were not many maids in the Palace.
At most, it's served... Other than a few girls, all the other personal maids were just like floating clouds.
In the Palace, the one Su Jinruo saw the most was flashy.
However …
Fu Hua was not someone from the Palace, but Shen Hancheng had specially sent Fu Hua over from the Pavilion of Death for her sake, so that she could use him.
Every time she woke up, Floating Flower and Lv Ruo would wait by her side. Now …
But only Lv Ruo?
Su Jinruo stood at the window, unmoving, and asked:
"Flowery..." "Where is it?"
Lv Ruo's face changed slightly, the corners of her lips moved, but she did not say anything for a long time.
After a long period of silence, Su Jinruo... He had already guessed that something was wrong.
She turned around, and just as she took a step, she heard Lv Ruo say:
"Miss Gaudy has already left the Duke's Palace and will only be back after a few days, so … I'm afraid that she won't be able to serve the wangfei anymore in this period of time. "
Fu Hua once told her that back then, Qian Yijian was very afraid of being left alone.
And so …
When he made a mistake, Shen Hancheng would always … Dispatch to an unknown place.
He wanted to experience what it meant to be forgotten.
Qian Yijian had told Fu Hua that he was exiled by Shen Hancheng because of certain matters …
At that time, he was thinking that he was a subordinate of his master after all. At most, he could be exiled for a month or two, then he could make a comeback …
However … However, Shen Hancheng released him once, and released him for a year and nine months.
Chopping firewood and boiling water every day, planting seeds and beans, living with chickens and ducks, talking with cattle, occasionally having a few …
The lonely aunt had treated him up and down, and Shen Hancheng had long sealed off his abilities. In that unbearably unbearable year, she had almost driven him crazy …
It was also at that time that Qian Yijian started to feel afraid of women.
Qian Yijian came back to cry with Shen Hancheng. Shen Hancheng's expression was extremely indifferent. Glancing at him, he asked:
"You still want to go?"
Qian Yijian immediately held back his tears, and pitifully did not dare to say anything more.
Although he was afraid of Shen Hancheng, he still dared to take advantage of the tiger …
After that, Shen Hancheng changed his punishment to sending him to the Yi Hong Yuan School.
A good name is a good name...
Train well!
Qian Yijian didn't want to cry.
That flashy...
Where would Shen Hancheng send her?
The door was pushed open gently.
Shen Hancheng was seated on the side of the table, attentively looking at the documents in his hands.
He slightly raised his eyes and looked at the person who opened the door.
Seeing that it was Su Jinruo, his eyes softened and he said:
"Have you eaten?"
Su Jinruo nodded and said, "I just finished eating not too long ago."
She walked to Shen Hancheng's side.
Shen Hancheng reached out and grabbed her waist, then pulled her into his lap.
Su Jinruo frowned, she did not want to walk in circles with him, so she went straight to the point:
"You … Can you let Fu Hua come back and continue to serve me? "
Shen Hancheng raised his brows.
His eyes were very calm, but his words …
But it was very sharp.
"You want to plead on her behalf?"
Su Jinruo was not surprised that he could see through her thoughts.
She frowned and said:
"She didn't do anything wrong."
"Going against master's orders, doesn't this count as having done anything wrong?"
Shen Hancheng squinted his eyes.
After heavily biting her lips, he said:
"Jinruo, for no one else... To challenge this king's bottom line, if she doesn't stop you, then she has made a mistake. You should understand that people have to pay a corresponding price for their actions, and … "
He paused, his lips curling into a vague smile.
A pair of large hands moved around her waist, and his voice was deep and pleasant.
"As for your punishment, This King hasn't even started. If you don't protect yourself, would you dare plead with others? "Hmm?!"
Su Jinruo was startled.
She also had her punishments. Didn't she already give him her punishments?
His attitude...
It broke her heart!
Did he think that was not enough to punish her?
In a daze, Su Jinruo suddenly felt the world spinning around her. By the time she reacted, Shen Hancheng had already lifted her by the waist and was walking toward the bed.
After the storm passed, the capital was engulfed in a wave of heaven-shaking news.
The Crown Prince of Donggong Palace, forcing the women of the people, with the Grand Commandant Han Lin as his apprentice, Zhou Shenghui …
They embezzled the treasury, were bribed and bribed, and violated the laws and regulations. Therefore, the Emperor had decreed that the Eastern Palace be deposed!
The crippled crown prince, Shen Yuan, would be demoted to a civilian, and according to the order of Ranqi, he would be exiled for three years, never to return to court for the rest of his life!
As soon as the news came out, the crippled crown prince's own sister …
Princess Xiwei asked Old Emperor.
With the excuse that the crown prince had been framed without reason by someone else, he begged the Old Emperor to give the order … He had to reinvestigate the matter.
was immediately rejected by the Old Emperor.
Even Princess Xiwei had to kneel outside the hall for six hours.
In the end, there was nothing … To make the Old Emperor take back his order.
Su Jinruo leaned on the imperial concubine's bed and quietly read his book.
Lv Ruo told her about the news from the palace.
Her fair and slender hands rested on a corner of the book.
Su Jinruo raised her eyes slightly and she asked:
"The crown prince is corrupt and takes bribes. Who found this case?"
Lv Ruo poured out the water in the vase and casually said:
"I heard that it was Grand Commandant Lin, and he started it … He checked on the Crown Prince's frivolous woman. She might have sensed that something was amiss, so … "Then, he casually went to investigate. Two days ago, someone reported that someone handed over the evidence. The Grand Commandant went to check up on the evidence, and only then did he discover that the crown prince was suspected of embezzlement. He then reported it to the emperor."
Su Jinruo remained silent for a long time.
Lv Ruo placed the fresh flowers and branches into the vase.
After sprinkling the water, she unwittingly said:
"At the same time that the crown prince is deposed, there are people who have temporarily succeeded him as prime minister. I heard that... He was the top scholar for Humanities last year. The Crown Prince was suspected of being a traitor, and it was all thanks to him … "His performance in his own fiefdom was not bad, and with the recommendation of an old official, the Emperor made an exception and allowed him to temporarily take the place of the prime minister!"
Su Jinruo's eyes moved, and said with some surprise: "It's rare that Old Emperor would let a young person, temporarily become Prime Minister …"
Since ancient times, the Prime Minister had been the Emperor's right hand.
Above one man and above ten thousand others, his status was superior to others.
He was also the leader of the court. He was a talented person, but he might not be able to do it …
and...
Since ancient times, those who held the position of Prime Minister were all no less than thirty years old.
Even the dead Prime Minister Su, who was exactly thirty years old, was known by the world as one of the youngest prime ministers.
He was just a mere top scholar. Even though he had some talent and some experience, he was still a weakling …
The Old Emperor actually had such a whole new level of respect for him?
Lv Ruo said, "This should not be a big deal, if the wangfei is still in the imperial court, and with the Prime Minister Su … If there was no connection. "As for the position of prime minister, it's hard to say which family will receive it …"
"To be able to gain the favor of the Emperor, I'm guessing that the top scorer of the Literature test will be … They have their own unique qualities. "
Su Jinruo looked at her, and after pausing for a moment, she slowly said:
"Lv Ruo, do you want to... Come with me to meet Ninth Prince's concubine? "
Ninth Prince's concubine –
Su Ranxiao...?
Lv Ruo's expression changed slightly.
