When Lu Yuncheng woke up, he saw Su Qingyu, half of her fair cheek exposed, sleeping soundly beside his bed.
Her eyelashes are long and her lips are full. When she closed her eyes, she lost her usual arrogant, smart and cute look, but she still had the urge to let people hold her in their arms.
What exactly happened last night? He could vaguely guess some of it through the sound of swords clashing. He also vaguely saw her dressed in white, and she seemed to be arrogant and arrogant.
She must have stood up for him.
Lu Yuncheng's heart was filled with a slight tingling feeling. This feeling was traveling along the blood to every corner of his body, and finally merged with his bones and blood, becoming inseparable.
The sunlight slowly climbed along the window sill to her forehead, and then to her eyes.
Lu Yuncheng raised his hand to block the dazzling light for her, so that she could sleep a little longer.
But sometimes things happen, and things always backfire.
Before she could have a cup of tea, Qingfeng pushed the door open and came in. The loud noise immediately woke Su Qingyu up.
"Master! I have..."
Noticing the obviously displeased look in his master's eyes, Qingfeng asked cautiously: "Subordinate, have you done something wrong again?"
Lu Yuncheng's eyes had no warmth, but the moment Su Qingyu turned to look at him, he immediately became gentle, and Qingfeng was so shocked that Qingfeng almost couldn't close her jaw.
"Say what you should say, and then go and receive your punishment."
Qingfeng wanted to ask a few more questions, but after touching his master's eyes, he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only get down to business first.
"His Majesty's guard of honor has already arrived at our palace and will arrive in about a stick of incense."
Su Qingyu lost all her sleep and woke up immediately: "How could I have forgotten this! Come on, let everyone... forget it, you should let my Mingyue come over!"
Su Qingyu was talking. Finally, in order to save some time, she asked Qingfeng to call Mingyue.
Qingfeng clutched her chest, realizing that after being disliked by her master, she was also disliked by the princess.
But it doesn't matter, his heart is already torn to pieces anyway, and there shouldn't be anything that can be hurt next time.
"You are so anxious. What happened in the house last night?"
Su Qingyu immediately covered his bandaged legs with a quilt: "It's okay if you wake up. I just want to tell you a few words about what happened last night, so as not to cause trouble if the secret is revealed later."
Under Su Qingyu's concise language, Lu Yuncheng quickly connected what happened last night.
He was not surprised by the arrival of the killer, nor was he surprised that a spy appeared in the house. He was only surprised that Su Qingyu's force value had increased so much quietly, and he was also surprised that this girl could even bribe the old fox Shen Huaide!
“This time, we got a blessing in disguise.”
Lu Yuncheng didn't seem to be worried at all about being suspected by Emperor Ming: "After this assassination, our family can be more peaceful for a while, and it also makes His Majesty feel more guilty about us. The most important thing is that this Shen Huaide Ah, I will probably follow your lead in the future."
"Taking my lead? Master Shen and I just made a mutually beneficial deal. How could he take my lead?"
The more Su Qingyu thought about it, the more something was wrong: "I don't want his sway, I want to be a person who travels in the world and helps the world. Too many connections will only affect my speed of drawing swords and needles!"
Lu Yuncheng's smile gradually solidified on his face.
She just said that she wanted to travel around the world and save the world?
Did she never think about staying?
Seeing Mingyue coming in, Su Qingyu quickly arranged things for her, then turned back to the bronze mirror and fiddled with her already messy bun to make it even messier.
After thinking about it, she made the dark circles under her eyes heavier.
Then, while Lu Yuncheng looked at him in astonishment, she took out the blood-stained cloth strips she had prepared in advance from the medicine box, and tied them on his head, shoulders, chest, and even his stomach.
The soft fingertips would touch his skin from time to time. Lu Yuncheng closed his eyes and allowed the throbbing in his heart to do whatever he wanted.
"Yeah, there's no need to tie it up so much, right?"
Su Qingyu clapped her hands and watched with great satisfaction as she turned Lu Yuncheng into a seriously injured person: "When acting, you have to act in full. Since you are said to be seriously injured and dying, how can these two injuries be reflected? How pathetic are you?"
Lu Yuncheng smiled silently: "Okay, it's up to you."
This clear voice and doting tone shocked Su Qingyu so much that she didn't know what to do.
When Lu Yuncheng saw her cute and dull expression, a small idea popped into his head.
"This servant pays homage to Your Majesty, the Queen!"
"This servant pays homage to Your Majesty, the Queen!"
The queen is here too?
There were greetings from outside the door. After Su Qingyu and Lu Yuncheng looked at each other, the latter immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Su Qingyu rubbed her eyes hard until they turned red, then knelt by the door holding her wrinkled skirt.
"My daughter-in-law pays homage to Your Majesty and the Queen."
Seeing a pair of bright yellow boots passing in front of her, Su Qingyu saw a pair of women's shoes inlaid with pearls passing in front of her.
She quietly raised her head and saw the empress, who didn't care about the mundane affairs of the harem and only wanted to find a wife for her son, looking left and right, not knowing what she was looking for.
"Princess Ling, get up. No need to be polite."
Su Qingyu obeyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The queen's face was full of worry: "I heard that Prince Ling's palace was assassinated by thieves last night. I was really worried, so I followed your majesty."
She looked at Su Qingyu back and forth several times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Princess Ling hasn't slept a wink all night, why is she so haggard?"
Su Qingyu looked at a loss, and then she realized: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. My daughter-in-law's health is not in serious condition, but it's just that His Highness, Prince Ling, has not woken up yet..."
Emperor Ming didn't say anything, he got up and walked directly to the inner room.
Seeing this, the queen also followed her, so naturally Su Qingyu couldn't leave behind.
Seeing Lu Yuncheng on the bed really scarred and dying, even Emperor Ming couldn't help but take a breath.
With injuries like this, it's no wonder his life is hanging by a thread.
"Shen Yuanzheng, why hasn't Prince Ling woke up yet?"
When Shen Huaide was called, he quickly went into the inner room and knelt down: "Returning to Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ling was seriously injured. If the princess had not stopped the bleeding in time, he would have been long gone... In addition, His Highness Prince Ling's body was already weak, and he had suffered severe injuries in his early years. It’s so damaged that I’m afraid I’ll have to wait a few days to wake up.”
If so many people hadn't been present, Su Qingyu would have really wanted to say "Wonderful" to Shen Huaide on the spot! I thought he wouldn't lie, but it turns out that the leverage to let him lie wasn't quite enough!
"His Royal Highness Prince Ling's injuries will be left to you. You must pay more attention!"
"Wei Chen will do his best."
Emperor Ming sighed, turned around and left the inner room, and asked his personal Eunuch Su to deliver many supplements.
When it was time for Su Qingyu to express her gratitude, she saw Su Qingyu standing there blankly without moving.
When Emperor Ming frowned impatiently, she suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law, I kindly ask your Majesty to promise your daughter-in-law three things!"
"What's the matter? Tell me and listen."
Emperor Ming concealed his disgusted expression very well, and subconsciously regarded Su Qingyu as the kind of person who was waiting for opportunities to seek benefits.
If that's the case, then he...
