Shen Qingjue took the peacefully sleeping woman into his arms again and gently closed his eyes.
The warm and lingering aroma of roses lingered on the tip of my nose. The horse-drawn carriage passed through the streets, and the sounds of vendors gradually starting to get busy outside.
There are two worlds inside and outside the carriage, but they converge into the most authentic human atmosphere.
For the first time, Shen Qingjue felt the feeling of being alive——
I don't know when the carriage stopped, and Shen Qingjue fell into a chaotic dream and never woke up...
Suddenly, the car door was pushed open from the outside, and a head poked in.
"Master, here you go - uh!"
Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly, Yun Song was stunned.
Shen Qingjue's eyes narrowed, it was too late to stop him, and his arms were instantly empty.
Su Dai stood up with a sleepy look on her face, pressed her swollen eyebrows, and her dark pupils were calm.
It was as if nothing had happened.
She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, uncle. I'm here. You can just take the carriage back."
As she spoke, she didn't even stay for a moment.
Outside the carriage, the beauty from the Western Region respectfully extended her hand to help the woman out of the carriage.
His movements were gentle, as if he were handling some rare treasure.
Shen Qingjue's eyes fell on Su Dai's hand that was touching the man, and all the good mood accumulated along the way was wiped out at this moment.
Even he himself couldn't figure out the cause of the sudden anger.
"Send the prince back, on the way..."
"No need!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingjue got down from the carriage with a serious face.
Su Dai's brows showed a hint of sleepiness, and her whole body was languid. She nodded when she heard this, "Okay."
After saying that, he probably felt that his behavior was too ruthless, and he was really suspected of throwing it away after use, so he added, "Uncle Emperor - be careful on the road?"
Shen Qingjue: "..."
Shen Qingjue became even more angry.
He pursed his thin lips and without saying a word got on the horse brought by Yun Song. Before turning his head, his murderous gaze, as sharp as a knife, swept across the back of the Western Beauty's hand.
Su Dai's hand was resting there lazily.
"gone."
Until he left the vicinity of the Princess Mansion, the intense emotions in Shen Qingjue's heart were still difficult to calm down.
This unfamiliar emotion made him frown tightly, but he found nothing after careful analysis.
Yun Song chased after him, "Master, please slow down!"
Just after he finished speaking, he saw the sinister look on the man's face, and even though he deliberately suppressed the vague anger, it still inevitably overflowed a little.
This is very wrong for the master who has always been secretive about his emotions and anger!
"Master, do you have any thoughts about Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?" Yun Song hesitated before speaking.
Surrounded by their people, Yun Song was not worried about what he said being heard by those who cared.
Hearing this, Shen Qingjue's heart skipped a beat.
His hawk-like gaze swept over Yun Song, and he sneered, "What can I think of with that heartless person?"
After saying that, he galloped on his horse, leaving Yun Song behind.
Therefore, I didn't notice Yun Song's strange expression at that moment.
He muttered speechlessly, "Master, do you know what it means to hide something that is hidden?"
The moment Shen Qingjue behaved abnormally, Master, you changed——
-
After Shen Qingjue left, Su Dai ruthlessly returned to the princess mansion.
Of course she wouldn't behave like a fool, standing there and watching people leave.
The light ball, which had also been suffering all night, couldn't wait to jump out to breathe fresh air. It said worriedly: [Master host, Shen Qingjue seems to be angry! 】
Go and coax it!!
Su Dai ordered someone to prepare hot water for washing. When she sat down and waited, she held her face in her hands and said lazily, "After all, you have experienced a whole world, why don't you make any progress?"
Light group: [woo woo qaq]
"I told you not to be a licker."
The light group had heard this sentence many times. It blinked and asked, "What are you doing?"
Su Dai curled her lips and smiled, "Dog trainer."
【……】
After a while, when Su Dai had finished washing and lay down to rest, the light ball suddenly realized. It was dissatisfied and complained: [Host, how can you say that the target of the mission is a dog!! You are...]
"Shut up."
Su Dai closed her eyes and uttered two words coolly.
The effect is remarkable.
The little light ball whimpered and closed its mouth.
-
The first day of the new year is supposed to be a festive day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
All major officials have also taken leave these days, and many officials who are on leave have finally been approved to return to the imperial capital to visit relatives.
But this sudden assassination plunged the entire elite circle in the imperial capital into a deathly silence.
Heavenly prison.
"哐哐哐——"
The jailer was carrying a big basket filled with steamed buns, and he was tapping the pillars with the stick in his hand as he walked.
"Eat, eat!"
He casually picked out a few steamed buns from the basket, threw them into one of the cells as if feeding a dog.
Behind him was a jailer, carrying a large wooden barrel, which contained porridge that had been boiled to a paste and exuded a strange smell.
"One bowl per person, please be honest!"
The prisoners in this prison are all felons. No matter how powerful you were in the past, if you entered here, no one can escape unscathed in a hundred years.
The jailers didn't care at all whether they would retaliate. In their eyes, these people were almost dead since they entered here.
They could put the food in properly, but they still did it! There was a twisted pleasure in their hearts.
So what if you were high and mighty before? Aren't you now a prisoner?
A group of women's eyes turned green. When they saw the steamed buns, they immediately pounced on them. After grabbing the steamed buns, they immediately stuffed them into their mouths. Even if they choked and rolled their eyes, they couldn't bear to spit it out.
Song Xuewu huddled in the corner, her eyes dim.
She has been locked up here for nearly half a month, and no one from her family has come to visit her. She has gone from resentment and unwillingness at the beginning to deep fear and numbness now. She has suffered more humiliation than she has experienced in her entire life. All are long.
Apparently, the food that belonged to her was taken away by other prisoners.
Song Xuewu's body was covered with large and small scars. On the first day she arrived, she was held down and beaten, which was called "teaching rules."
Seeing her half-dead state, the jailer frowned and warned, "Don't go too far, you guys! This person previously intended to do harm to Her Royal Highness, the Princess. If you dare to torment her to death before Your Highness says anything to deal with her, I will chop them all alive." Got you!"
"What?!"
"We are locked up with this kind of person! Sir, please change our cell! We don't want to be implicated by her!"
Hearing this disgusted tone, Song Xuewu woke up from a dream.
She raised her head fiercely and said in a sharp voice, "I didn't! It was Su Dai who wronged me!! Su Dai is such a bitch - ahhhh!!"
Before she finished speaking, the jailer walked in and hit her with a stick.
"Shut up! How dare you call His Highness by his first name? I think you are really itchy!!"
Song Xuewu was beaten and fell to the ground twitching.
The jailer re-locked the cell and scolded him impatiently: "You are so shameless! I think you are very strong and you don't want to eat? Then I will starve you for two more days!"
