By the time Su Wan brought Bi Lou back to the princess residence, it was already nighttime.
"Your Highness, do you want me to help you bathe and change your clothes?"
Bi Lou asked out of habit when she walked to the door.
"Forget it." Su Wan waved her hands. "You've been tired too. Rest early. I don't need anyone to serve me today."
"Yes."
Hearing Su Wan's words, Bi Lou immediately left respectfully.
Su Wan slowly walked back to her dormitory by herself. As soon as she entered the inner room, she smelled a peculiar fragrance. This is … …
"Your Highness!"
A crisp male voice rang in the darkness and then a shadow suddenly rushed towards Su Wan's direction.
Su Wan's gaze turned cold. She lifted her hand and the Dragon Seeking Dagger slid out from her sleeves. A cold light flashed and the sharp dagger was pressed against the person's neck.
"Your, Your Highness!"
The male voice couldn't help but tremble. "Your Highness, I was sent by Master Lou to serve you."
"Lou Xiaoxiao?"
Su Wan's tone turned even colder. "I don't need anyone to serve me!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll leave now."
The male servant carefully retreated hearing Su Wan's words. Seeing that he was about to turn and leave, Su Wan's gaze flickered. "Since you're here, don't leave."
"Huh?"
The male servant froze. The moment he paused, Su Wan's dagger had already cut his artery. Blood splattered and dyed Su Wan's body.
"Guards!"
Su Wan shouted coldly. Two strong figures immediately rushed in. "Your Highness!"
"Take the corpse out and strip him naked. Throw him in front of Lou Xiaoxiao's Family's door!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Su Wan's orders, the two guards immediately nodded respectfully.
"Also, find out who let him in. Once you find out, kill them all!"
After dismissing the guards, maids came in to change the incense in the room. The stone stained with blood was also cleaned up.
Right now, Su Wan had already taken off her clothes and soaked in the bathtub.
It had been a long time since she had personally killed someone. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if she was really going to be crippled by General Su.
Thinking of Su Rui, Su Wan couldn't help but curve the corner of her lips. With a husband like this, so what if she was ruined by him?
Back then, he had always wanted to take revenge on Xu Ce. The further he went down this path, the colder his heart became. Perhaps he was truly invulnerable, but would he feel happy like that?
I won't.
At that time, her heart was cold. She could not see the way back, nor could she find a way out. Her mind was filled with nothing but hatred.
Now, she had someone she loved, a man who would not leave her no matter what happened. Wasn't this what many people yearned for?
People shouldn't be too greedy.
…
The next morning, Lou Mansion of the capital.
As usual, Lou Xiaoxiao was lying on his comfortable bed, planning to sleep until the sun was high up in the sky. However, Madam Lou barged into Lou Xiaoxiao's bedroom with a cane the moment the sun rose. Without saying a word, she whipped her son violently.
"I'll beat you to death, you troublemaker!"
"Are you trying to anger me to death?!"
"Ah!"
Master Lou, who was in the middle of a beautiful dream, immediately woke up from his mother's beating. He screamed and jumped up from his bed. "Mother, mother, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill your own son? "
"Scram. I don't have a son like you!"
Madam Lou glared at him coldly. Her tone was full of disappointment, "Look at Liu Family's Liu Xuan and Feng Family's Feng Wuchen. The three of you grew up together and both of them are Pin One in the imperial court. What about you? I finally managed to transfer you to the Godly Machine Camp to be a military officer but you keep causing trouble for me. That's fine but why did you go and provoke the Princess Royal? Do you really think that your life is too long? "
Uh.
Hearing his mother's words, Lou Xiaoxiao's gaze flickered. "Mother, Su Wan, no, I'm talking about the Princess Royal. She … what did she do?"
"Why don't you ask yourself what you did first? Last night, the Princess Royal Residence's people threw a male servant's corpse in front of our Lou Family's door. There were even people guarding the corpse so that no one could take it away. This morning, Yun Zhu told me that the dead male attendant was bought by you and sent to the Princess Residence. Tell me, you naughty brat, are you looking for a beating for no reason? "
Madam Lou looked at her son, so angry she didn't know what to say. Who was the Princess Royal? She was famous for being ruthless. Why didn't her son grow up?
Hearing his mother's words, Lou Xiaoxiao smiled carelessly. "Mother, I heard that Yue Qing defected to Her Majesty. Haha, all the nobles in the capital know about this. Isn't Su Wan really virtuous? Back then, she looked down on me. Now that her lover ran away with someone else, I'm doing a good deed and buying a handsome male servant to relieve her boredom. I'm being kind! She doesn't know what's good for her! "
"Presumptuous! Do you think you can criticize the Princess Royal? "
Madam Lou's expression was a bit complicated hearing her son's words. "Xiaoxiao, tell me the truth. Do you still miss the Princess Royal?"
"No, no! Definitely not! "
Lou Xiaoxiao widened his eyes hearing his mother's words and replied with a determined expression, "There are many good women in the world. With our Lou Family's status, I can marry anyone I want. Why do I have to marry someone from the royal family? I, Lou Xiaoxiao, can't afford to lose face like that! "
Ever since the late emperor's new law was implemented throughout the country, men's status had indeed increased. Although there were no precedents of noble ladies marrying men, it was common for men and women to marry each other.
Seeing how confident Lou Xiaoxiao was, Madam Lou relaxed. Lou Family was a hereditary noble family in Luanfeng Country. Although Madam Lou didn't need to attend court, she still had a hereditary title. She understood the trend in court. In the past two years, Her Majesty had gradually grasped the initiative. Especially with the marriage alliance between Her Majesty and Liu Family, she had Xiang Liu's help. The Princess Royal's chances of winning weren't high.
At this moment, Madam Lou secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, when the previous emperor proposed marriage to the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess rejected the marriage without hesitation. If the marriage had gone through, the future of the Lou Family would be hard to predict.
Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise ~
…
There were no secrets in the capital's circle. What happened in front of the Lou Residence in the morning had already spread throughout the court during the morning court session.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. That Young Master Lou really didn't make any progress as usual. Everyone knew that the Princess Royal was in a fit of anger. Yet, he still dared to provoke her. He really wasn't afraid of death ~
When the court session ended, Su Wan walked at the very front. No one dared to surpass her.
When she reached Beihua Gate, Su Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The officials behind her looked at her in confusion. Under the morning sun, Su Wan looked especially bright and flamboyant wearing a fiery red official robe.
"Xiang Liu."
Su Wan's gaze swept over the crowd and then landed on Liu Xuan.
"Princess Royal."
Seeing that Su Wan called his name, Liu Xuan who was walking with a group of male officials couldn't help but take a few steps forward. He looked at Su Wan respectfully and asked, "Princess Royal, what are your orders?"
"I heard that Her Majesty rewarded Xiang Liu with a decent box of tribute tea. I wonder if I have the honor to ask for a cup of tea from your residence?"
Su Wan looked at Liu Xuan with a smile. Though she was asking him, her tone was high and mighty and couldn't be refuted.
