Cui Ling was already awake. Su Yu went to see him, but was turned down.
Baishan explained sheepishly: "Well, cousin, the doctor said that the young master needs to rest recently, so the young master has been closing the door to thank guests during this period, and he has not even seen his wife."
Su Yu had no choice but to leave first.
After watching her walk away, Bai Shan opened the door and walked into the room. After a closer look, he saw that it was clearly empty and there was no one there.
The need to rest and thank guests behind closed doors is all false. The real reason is that the owner of the house is not there at all.
A few days later, Su Yu heard a rumor about the court.
It is rumored that the assassination of Cui Ling was carried out by the third prince, because people from the Cui Mansion found the token of the third prince's mansion in the clothes of the deceased soldier.
The third prince defended himself with tears in his eyes, saying that since he was a dead soldier, how could he carry a token that would reveal his identity? This was obviously framed by someone with intentional intentions.
Many old ministers thought it was reasonable and interceded on behalf of the third prince.
The Holy Spirit also felt something fishy, so he handed the matter over to Cui Ling, the victim of the assassination, for investigation.
This investigation indeed revealed a problem, and the real culprit behind it was the eldest prince.
The eldest prince assassinated his ministers and framed his brothers. Even if there were party members interceding on his behalf, they could not stop the evidence from being presented.
The Holy Emperor was so angry that he directly reduced the power of the eldest prince and punished him to stay in seclusion for half a year. He also sent people to send many things to Cui Mansion as compensation and comfort.
There were so many twists and turns that outsiders cannot tell.
In short, the result was that the third prince and Cui Ling joined forces and used their bodies as bait to destroy many of the eldest prince's forces.
Prime Minister Cui, Cui Ling's father, and the current head of the family cannot be unaware of this matter. Unfortunately, Cui Ling is becoming more and more mature. The third prince and the eldest prince are fighting in the ring, so it is not the Cui family and his son.
In short, the atmosphere in the house was very delicate during this period.
Su Yu also secretly investigated the reason for the change of assassination location.
In the original plot, the eldest prince arranged this assassination because he accidentally learned that Cui Ling had a private relationship with the third prince, became suspicious, and insisted on the idea that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
But this time, something happened.
The eldest prince learned about this matter as in the original plot, but because he cared about beauty a few days ago, he specially arranged a few people to Cui's house to pay attention to her movements.
Coincidentally, during the trip to Huguo Temple, one of them was also there.
The man was brave and careful. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately reported it to his superiors. This was how the assassination was carried out in advance and the location was changed.
After hearing the cause and effect, Su Yu was silent for a long time: [...Is it really because of me that you are so special? ! 】
Even if she is not a direct factor, she is an indirect factor.
The system also didn't expect that there was a one in 10,000 chance that the host would encounter it. No one would be lucky.
The system rejoiced: [Fortunately nothing happened to the male protagonist, otherwise we would have to lose all the points we earned in the previous world. 】
Su Yu wanted to cry, what is this, karma?
In the end, Su Yu learned from the pain and decided to speed up the task process.
The task progress bar was almost 50% full, and Su Yu felt that the next stage could be started.
Unexpectedly, the next day, before she could go to find Cui Ling, he came to the door first.
Cui Ling's injuries haven't fully healed yet, but his complexion has recovered a bit. He has been taking prescriptions to replenish blood and Qi, and his complexion is finally not as pale as before.
"Cousin!" Su Yu was pleasantly surprised when she saw him coming.
"Cousin, sit down quickly."
Su Yu asked Zi Tong to make tea and sat down with Cui Ling, caring about his injury: "How is my cousin feeling? Has the injury recovered? Is it painful? Will the medicine prescribed by the doctor work? It's all my fault. If it weren't for Me and my cousin will not go to Taolin with Miss Lin. Fortunately, my cousin is fine, otherwise I will not forgive myself."
Su Yu kept pouring beans one after another, leaving Cui Ling overwhelmed.
Finally, he curved his lips and said with a smile: "I'm fine. I'm almost healed. Don't worry."
Cui Ling usually has a very calm expression, and he has almost never smiled. At this moment, his eyebrows are smiling, as bright as the morning glow, his color is like the flowers of spring dawn, and his beauty is like nine springs, which makes people look slightly swaying.
Su Yu was also stunned: "Cousin, you look so beautiful when you smile."
Cui Ling was stunned for two seconds, and then the smile on his face became more real. His eyebrows and eyes were like clouds, as moist as jade. When he was not smiling, it was like a clear glow, and when he was smiling, it was like a halo of warm jade beads, just like the moonlight dispersed in the hazy mist, which was thrilling.
If it were before, his smile might not have had such a big impact.
But at this moment, his face was still a little pale, and his figure was thinner than before. He looked like a frail and noble young man with a handsome face, adding a touch of frail and noble aura.
Even though Su Yu had seen so many male protagonists in the world, she couldn't help but sigh: Monster.
The system quietly recorded this scene.
When the host returns to the fast-traveling bureau, one day the host remembers that he can still see the video and miss him.
Seeing Cui Ling actively exuding charm as if she didn't realize it, Su Yu suddenly covered her face with her hands.
Cui Ling: "What's wrong?"
Su Yu said angrily: "My cousin is so handsome, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but be moved."
She is a staunch big prince,... for the mission.
With a chuckle, Cui Ling was in a good mood.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Cui Ling suppressed her smile and then revealed her purpose today, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Su Yu was stunned and confused.
Cui Ling's smile is so beautiful, and his face is so serious: "Who asked you to come in such a dangerous situation that day? When you blocked my sword, didn't you think that you might be injured? Didn't you think about your own safety? ?”
Su Yu said nervously: "I, I didn't think so much. I was just worried that something might happen to my cousin."
Cui Ling said for a moment that she was not the one, and it was not the case if she didn't say it.
He could tell that Su Yu meant what she said.
But why is this so? For his sake, why would he go to this point, even disregarding his own safety and life?
For so many days, Cui Ling escaped for a long time and thought about it for a long time.
He is slow, but not completely heartless.
Facing Lin Jinse, he could give advice calmly and remain unmoved, but if it were Su Yu...
Memories related to her kept flooding in his mind. Cui Ling thought carefully about what Bai Shan said. He was indeed special to her, special in a way that he didn't even realize.
And does she treat him the same way?
Blocking the sword with one's body and disregarding one's own safety is definitely not what ordinary emotions can do.
Not to mention that during this period, she had seemingly no intimacy and temptation. Like a timid but persistent little animal, she stretched out her paws step by step to test his bottom line, please him, get close to him, and unknowingly occupied his heart. A position that cannot be shaken.
