When leaving Wuweizhai, Su Yu got news from Su Lingyu that her father and brother came to the capital to look for her.
She had already learned this news from King An.
Both of them said so, and it seemed that the news was indeed true.
"Sister Lingyu, I'll leave first."
Su Lingyu nodded: "I was in a hurry this time and didn't treat you well. I'll ask the store to give you a discount next time you come."
Su Yu hugged a pile of new desserts sent by Su Lingyu and said thank you: "Thank you, sister Lingyu!"
Looking at the shadow of the carriage leaving, Su Lingyu stood there without moving.
She only believed 50% of Su Yu's life-saving words, because she knew best who bandaged the man's injuries.
As for Su Yu accidentally discovering him when she went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms, that was probably true. It happened that the man woke up at that time and mistakenly regarded Su Yu as his savior.
Su Yu didn't know why, so she didn't deny it.
Su Lingyu strangely felt a trace of the wonder of fate. She rescued the man, dragged him to the cave, bandaged him, and went to see him every day. After many twists and turns, she could not wait for him to wake up, but Su Yu just went there accidentally. That cave happened to hit him and he woke up.
What a wonderful fate.
There was no anger at all, but Su Lingyu would occasionally assume what would happen if the man knew that the savior was actually her.
With the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, the complete meeting of the three people reached Zhao Ce's ears.
Zhao Ce asked the secret guards to keep an eye on the movements in Prince An's Mansion, but he didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.
"How did they meet?"
The secret guard lowered his head: "My subordinates are incompetent and did not find out what King An and the girl said."
Zhao Ce's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent towards Zhao Sheng.
"Where's the female shopkeeper? What did she say to the girl?"
The secret guard did hear it, but there was no useful information, just some old-fashioned gossip.
Zhao Ce frowned: "She is inquiring about Su Yu's life-saving grace for me?"
"Back to my lord, yes."
Something flashed through his mind, and Zhao Ce vaguely seemed to have caught something. The next second, this feeling disappeared again.
"I understand, please go down first and continue to stare at King An."
"yes."
After the secret guard left, Zhao Ce stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of Su Yu's courtyard, contemplating.
How did they meet?
Su Yu was also thinking about this at this time.
[Why does King An want to deal with the male protagonist? Fighting for the throne? But the prince has already been established, so if you want to compete for the throne, you should first defeat the prince. 】
The emperor of the Daqing Dynasty is old and has already established a heir apparent. The heir apparent has been operating in the court for several years and his position has become extremely stable. However, the male protagonist and Prince An were born too late and are not very competitive.
So why on earth are they fighting to the death?
[System, check. 】
The system ordered, carefully scanned the world background, and found the reason: [Found it. 】
This involves an old incident.
[The mother-in-law of King An was originally the maid of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had no heirs for a long time after entering the palace. She had no choice but to think about leaving her mother and leaving a son. She pushed the maids around her out to support her. She got the prince as she wished, but the maid died in childbirth. 】
[Unexpectedly, two years after the birth of the maid's child, Concubine Shu became pregnant and gave birth to a son, Zhao Ce. Zhao Sheng, a palace girl, became dispensable. 】
[Concubine Shu continued to raise Zhao Sheng for three or four years, but she was not very dedicated. When he could take care of himself a little, she left him to the eunuch to raise her. From then on, she concentrated on raising her own children. 】
[When Zhao Sheng became an adult, he accidentally learned that there was another hidden reason behind the death of his biological mother. She died in childbirth because Concubine Shu was behind the scenes, so he regarded Concubine Shu as his mother-killing enemy. Concubine Shu was in the palace, and he was beyond his reach, so he turned to Concubine Shu to kill his mother. His younger brother Zhao Ce regarded her as a thorn in his side and firmly believed that Concubine Shu would be devastated if Zhao Ce died. How could Zhao Ce sit back and wait for death and resolutely fight back? 】
[This is how the relationship between the two of them was formed. 】
Su Yu suddenly realized: [So the death of that palace maid was really caused by Concubine Shu? 】
System: [Yes. 】
Su Yu, who vaguely remembered that Concubine Shu believed in Buddhism, remained silent: [...]
Everyone in this palace really has blood on their hands.
"Girl, the prince wants you to go to his study." The servant suddenly came in to report.
…
Su Yu had been to Zhao Ce's study many times. Although she was reluctant every time, this time she was surprisingly flustered.
She felt inexplicably uneasy when she thought about her conversation with that person.
There is no one in the study.
Su Yu sat obediently in her place and waited. The enlightenment books were still placed on the table, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones were neatly placed on the table as before.
From this angle, Zhao Ce's desk can be seen clearly.
Seeing that chair, the little village girl's cheeks suddenly felt hot. A few days ago, Zhao Ce held her there and kissed her, a fierce and fierce kiss.
It was the same thing the night before yesterday. He kissed her until her lips were almost broken before letting go.
That piece of clothing is still in Zhao Ce's room.
He took off her clothes but didn't want her, saying that girls should be reserved and it would be more appropriate to wait until the wedding night to do this kind of thing. However, when he changed his clothes, he was not reserved at all and pinched her all over her body. .
My body seemed to soften with the memory.
Su Yu shook her head violently to wake herself up. This was the study room, and she still had to wait for Zhao Ce.
She held her chin in boredom, and suddenly a touch of moist white flashed from the corner of her eye.
The radar went off instantly.
Su Yu looked over fiercely and saw a white jade seal carved into the shape of a tiger quietly placed in the upper left corner of Zhao Ce's table.
Su Yu's eyelids twitched. Is this Zhao Ce's private seal?
——Help me take out Zhao Ce’s seal.
The man's words came to mind very appropriately.
Staring at the seal, Su Yu walked over by accident.
As if she saw the task progress bar jump to 100%, she slowly reached out and picked it up. The jade seal was of excellent quality, and the tentacles were delicate and moist. It was on par with the jade pendant on Zhao Ce's waist, and looked very valuable.
Do you want to take it away directly?
Definitely not, it will be discovered.
Su Yu stared at the seal tangledly, and couldn't help complaining that the man had no brains. If such an important thing was lost, it would definitely be discovered. It was not easy to steal it. How did she come up with this method?
"doing what?"
Zhao Ce's voice suddenly sounded, and Su Yu was startled. She lost her grip on the thing in her hand and hit it on the table, making a heart-shaking sound.
Zhao Ce's eyes then fell on the seal.
Su Yu put her hands behind her back with a guilty conscience: "I didn't mean it."
She definitely couldn't afford to pay for it if it broke.
Zhao Ce came over, put his arms around her waist very naturally, pulled her into his arms with a little force, and sat on the chair. The person in his arms naturally fell on him.
The man stretched out his long arm and took the seal over. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pale little girl in his arms: "Are you looking at this?"
Su Yu looked at him cautiously to make sure he didn't notice it once. She pursed her lips nervously and said, "This looks good."
"like?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and she nodded tentatively: "Yes, I like it. Can you give it to me?"
Zhao Ce chuckled: "This is still useful, I can't give it to you."
Su Yu was disappointed: "Oh."
Zhao Ce smiled and said in a different tone: "But it's okay for you to play with."
