Zhu Ying had dinner with Zhao Yu. She thought of Sulan and couldn't eat anymore after a few bites.
Zhao Yu asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ying sighed deliberately and said: "If only Su Lan was here, we could have delicious food."
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Then it depends on your performance!"
Zhu Ying's eyes shone brightly, her whole little face came close to him, and said: "How do you say this?"
Zhao Yu quickly kissed her on the lips and said, "Just like this!"
Zhu Ying took an angry step back and said, "You are bullying me!"
Zhao Yu said: "If you don't behave well, I will detain Sulan for the rest of your life."
Zhu Ying reluctantly reached out and punched his chest. Each time, she lifted it up heavily and lowered it gently. Zhao Yu also enjoyed her affection. The two of them had a rough time and fought for a while before letting Zhu Ying go.
Returned to the room.
After Zhu Ying left, Su Jianguo asked to see him again outside the yard. Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ding Yi, saying, "What's the matter with this old fox meeting me so late?"
Ding Yi couldn't guess, so he asked, "Did the prince see you or not?"
Zhao Yu was helped out of bed by Ding Yi and sat down on the chair. He smoothed the wrinkles on his robe and said: "Please——"
Ding Yi went out and invited Su Jianguo in. Su Jianguo followed behind with a calm face, and the purpose of his visit could not be seen from his face.
Zhao Yu invited him to take a seat without letting him greet him. Ding Yi served him tea. After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yu asked Su Jianguo: "Master Su, it's so late, why do you want to see me?"
"Your Majesty, I have brought a message from my brother. My brother said that Bian City is at the foot of the emperor, with all forces gathered together, a mixture of fish and dragons, and many eyes and ears. The prince is a high-profile figure when he returns to the capital this time. I am afraid that all eyes will be on him.
It is really inappropriate for my brother and the prince to meet each other in Biancheng."
Zhao Yu didn't worry, he calmly blew the hot tea and asked calmly: "Then what do you think, Master Shangshu?"
"Your Majesty feels sorry for Miss Su, and he definitely doesn't want to see any harm done to her. If His Majesty can part with his love and let Miss Su stay in Shangshu Mansion, my brother will definitely protect Miss Su."
Zhao Yu laughed "hum", narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said: "Master Shangshu, what do you mean, I can't protect my woman? I will just let others slaughter me when I return to Biancheng?"
Su Jianguo stood up and bowed in a calm manner, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down, my brother didn't mean that. Your Majesty is extremely wise, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among men. My brother is worried that once you return to Biancheng, all the forces in Biancheng will attack you."
The prince is watching with eager eyes, and the enemy is hidden but we are clear. Even if the prince has all kinds of means, he cannot guard against it. The so-called dragon is being tricked in the shallows of Longyou. Once the prince's weakness is discovered, how should the prince deal with it? "
Zhao Yu was silent. Su Jiantao's analysis was reasonable. He had also thought about this problem, but he didn't think about it further when he thought of being separated from Zhu Ying. How could he let her be too far away from him before he had captured this woman's heart?
Far.
"There are princes in Bian City, people like King Chen who want to ascend the throne. They don't care why the prince comes back. They only see the order from Qin Tianjian: The Ziwei star descends and the fate changes. Even the emperor is everywhere.
To guard against you, even if your armor is removed, will they feel at ease with you? If you do nothing, your existence will be a threat to them unless you, the purple star, fall."
Zhao Yu mentally agreed with the Su brothers' analysis but remained calm on his face.
"Since you are sure that I am Ziweixing, why do you avoid me?"
Su Jianguo said: "Only the shining purple star can attract good ministers and good generals!"
Zhao Yu laughed loudly and said: "What a Su Jiantao. According to Master Shangshu's wishes, I can only keep Qinglian now?"
"Staying is the best way. My brother will declare to the outside world that Miss Su is Luomei's maid. This will make it easier for Miss Su to treat Luomei. Secondly, it will also conceal Miss Su's identity. Thirdly, it will avoid my brother and the prince from having any interactions with each other."
The secret has aroused suspicion from others. Your Majesty has tried every possible means to get close to our Su family, and he will not miss my brother being impeached so quickly. I have already disciplined everyone in the house and will never leak a word."
Zhao Yu sneered and said, "Master Su is really thoughtful."
He suddenly slapped the table, causing it to crack. He looked at Su Jianguo with stern eyes and asked, "Master Su, does this mean that Master Shangshu has grasped my weakness?"
Su Jianguo originally remembered his brother's instructions: not to show weakness with Prince Chun, but the chilling aura emanating from the Fourteenth Prince made his legs weaken and he knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. We, the Su family, are like grasshoppers on the same rope as your Majesty. We will both prosper and lose."
Zhao Yu stared at Su Jianguo fiercely as if trying to dig out all the secrets hidden deep in his heart. Su Jianguo was too scared to make eye contact with him.
After a long while, Zhao Yu said slowly: "Thank you for your concern on my behalf. Miss Su should stay with me."
"Your Majesty," Su Jianguo said anxiously, "Are you afraid that we will put Miss Su under house arrest?"
Zhao Yu sneered "hehe" and said: "Can a mere Shangshu Mansion imprison one of my kings?"
"Since the prince has nothing to fear..." Su Jianguo wanted to say something else, but Zhao Yu raised his hand to stop him.
"I am tired, Master Su, please come back. Ding Yi will see you off."
Ding Yi forcibly sent Su Jianguo away, and when he came back, he waited for Zhao Yu to rest. Ding Yi opened his mouth to say something, but Zhao Yu said, "You should also step aside!"
Zhao Yu didn't fall asleep that night. He had been weighing Su Jiantao's words. With his current strength, could he really protect Zhu Ying's integrity?
Su Jianguo prepared the carriage the next day. In addition to Su Luomei, Su Huan and Su Luotao were also traveling back to Biancheng this time.
Zhao Yu asked Ding Yi to invite Zhu Ying early. When Ding Yi arrived, Zhu Ying had just finished dressing and had no time to tie her hair. When she heard that Zhao Yu wanted to see her, she immediately followed Ding Yi. Along the way, she asked worriedly:
"What happened to the prince?"
Ding Yi shook his head.
Ding Yi didn't answer, and Zhu Ying became more worried and walked away more urgently. Nongzhu glared at Ding Yi dissatisfied and said, "Is there anything you can't say?"
Ding Yi felt a little aggrieved. He really didn't know anything. He was just sent by the prince to invite her.
Zhu Ying hurriedly came to the room and saw green porridge and side dishes on the table, but Zhao Yu was sitting at the table with no appetite.
Zhu Ying came to his side and reached out to touch his forehead. His body temperature was the same as her own. She frowned and grabbed his hand again, but Zhao Yu held her hand and looked her up and down.
Zhu Ying was wearing a pale pink skirt, with three thousand black hair hanging down her back. Her hair was a little messy because she was in a hurry, and her face turned red, like a blooming peach blossom, delicate and cute.
Zhao Yu was fascinated by this, but Zhu Ying became uncomfortable when he looked at her. She wanted to tidy up her appearance, but Zhao Yu pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, greedily absorbing the tenderness in her body.
Zhu Ying was a little confused. She held Zhao Yu's chest with her hands and tried to distance them, but Zhao Yu whispered "it hurts" and Zhu Ying didn't dare to move.
Nongzhu and Ding Yi happened to see this scene when they arrived. Ding Yi thoughtfully closed the door for his master. Nongzhu asked Ding Yi dissatisfied: "What on earth do you want, the prince?"
Ding Yi looked at her funny and asked: "What do you think the prince wants to do?"
Isn’t this obvious? Still need to ask?
Nongzhu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Ding Yi pushed him with his shoulder and said: "Nanshi, why do you react so loudly every time? How can my prince not be worthy of your young lady?"
"You are the stubborn one!" Nongzhu was so angry that he punched Ding Yi.
Ding Yi immediately dodged some backflips and said, "Are you a woman? You are so rude."
Nongzhu said unreasonably: "I want you to take care of it. If I say they can't be together, they can't be together!"
Then, he turned his back to Ding Yi and ignored him again.
Ding Yi whispered: "Just like your master, he is messy and messy!"
Zhu Ying's concern in the room was beyond words.
"What's wrong? Do you feel any discomfort?" Zhao Yu is so unusual today.
Zhao Yu finally let go of her, stroked her waist-length hair and asked, "Why are you here like this?"
Zhu Ying glared at him with dissatisfaction and said: "It's not all your fault. If you don't explain clearly what Ding Yi wants to do with me, I rushed here thinking there was a recurrence of your condition."
Zhao Yu's black eyes flashed with emotion, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Ying became more complicated.
Zhu Ying touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said very seriously: "It's so beautiful!"
Zhu Ying once again wondered if he had caught a cold and had a fever yesterday, which burned out his brain. She reached out again to touch his forehead. Zhao Yu finally made up his mind, and his eyes became decisive and ruthless.
"From now on, you will follow Miss Su to the Shangshu Mansion." This was the commanding tone.
"Why?" Zhu Ying was a little stunned. Zhao Yu's change was too sudden.
Before, she tried every means to escape from Zhao Yu, and there was a gap between them, but now she is willing to stay by his side to help him succeed. As long as the two of them are determined, they may be able to cross the gap again. But why now?
But he wants to abandon her? Why did yesterday's passionate love change after one night? Is it possible that in his heart she is still not as good as the deal between him and Su Jiantao?
Zhu Ying felt like she was being thrown away by Zhao Yu as if she were a commodity. Her heart felt heavy and ached.
Zhao Yu said expressionlessly: "I need you to stay in Shangshu Mansion. Only after you cure Miss Su's poison can Su Jiantao be willing to help me."
"Then there's no need to live in Shangshu Mansion?" Zhu Ying thought of not being able to see Zhao Yu, and felt an unbearable sadness in her heart. "When I return to the palace, I can go to Shangshu Mansion to detoxify Miss Su, right?"
Zhao Yu became cold and ruthless, and his eyes changed from tenderness to ruthlessness. This is the ruthlessness of a man from an imperial family. In their eyes, power is above all else!
"There is one thing you have been mistaken about. I am the one who issues orders, and you are just the executor. You only need to carry out the orders."
