The next day, it was noon when Liu Xuan came to the princess residence. According to the rules, Su Wan was bedridden. As a male official, Liu Xuan couldn't directly visit her in her bedroom.
Therefore, Liu Xuan was arranged to stay in the guest room of the inner courtyard. After waiting for a while, Su Wan finally arrived with Bi Lou's help.
Just two days had passed but Su Wan's face looked really haggard and pale.
"Princess royal."
Seeing Su Wan, Liu Xuan immediately stood up and bowed to her.
"You don't have to be so polite. Sit."
Su Wan said softly, her voice a bit hoarse.
Liu Xuan sat back in his seat, his gaze landing on Su Wan's face again. "Princess royal, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I'm not that delicate."
Su Wan smiled faintly at Liu Xuan. "I have to thank you for coming to visit me. You really are a considerate person."
"This is what I should do."
Liu Xuan nodded at Su Wan and then said in a low voice, "Her Majesty has decided to postpone her and Yue Qing's wedding date. Princess royal, do you know about this?"
"Oh?"
Su Wan froze hearing Liu Xuan's words, her face turning paler. "Why? Could it be because of me? "
"Princess royal, why do you … ask when you already know the answer?"
Liu Xuan stared at Su Wan's eyes, wanting to see a flaw in her gaze. Unfortunately, Su Wan's eyes were deep and there was a flash of anxiety between her brows.
"No. I can't let Her Majesty do this!"
Saying this, Su Wan struggled to stand up. "Bi Lou! Hurry and bring my phoenix gown over. Tell someone to prepare a carriage. I'm going to the palace to see the emperor immediately! "
"Your Highness! Your body … "
Bi Lou hesitated hearing Su Wan's words.
Liu Xuan also stood up and looked at Su Wan inquiringly. "Princess royal, why do you have to do this? You …"
"Presumptuous!"
Su Wan's gaze turned cold and she stared at Liu Xuan. "I don't need anyone to tell me what to do! Bi Lou, hurry and prepare! "
"Yes!"
Bi Lou left. Liu Xuan looked at the sickly Su Wan and his usually gentle face changed. "Princess Royal, was it worth it?"
Just for Yue Qing. To Liu Xuan, that kind of man wasn't even worth mentioning.
"Whether it's worth it or not, that's my business. I don't seek to be acknowledged by the world, I only seek to be at ease."
Peace of mind?
Liu Xuan looked at Su Wan in shock. He felt like he really needed to get to know this princess royal again.
By the time Su Wan's carriage entered the palace, it was already afternoon. After entering the Imperial City, Su Wan stumbled all the way to the Imperial Study.
At this time, Su Man was still handling official business in the Imperial Study. Seeing Su Wan suddenly barging in, Su Man froze. "Imperial sister, why, why are you here?"
"Why don't you marry Yue Qing?"
Su Wan stared at Su Man's eyes and asked word by word.
"Imperial Sister, you're still sick. How can we have the mood to hold a wedding?"
Su Man couldn't guess Su Wan's thoughts so she could only reply perfunctorily and wait for her to make the first move.
"I'm fine now. Hurry up and get married. My residence has prepared a huge dowry for Yue Qing."
As Su Wan spoke, she took out a token from her bosom.
The word "Su" was engraved on the back of the token while the word "secret" was blood red on the front.
This was …
The imperial family's secret guard's transfer order! It was the same as the military's tiger seal. Seeing the order was the same as seeing the person.
Su Man's pupils couldn't help but contract when she saw the token. This was the glory that Su Wan had risked her life to obtain from the cruel competition of the imperial family.
The imperial family's secret guards had always been controlled by the strongest person in the imperial family. The person in charge of the secret guards right now was Su Wan.
"Your Majesty, haven't you always wanted this? I'll give it to you! "
Saying this, Su Wan tossed the token that was envied by countless people onto the jade floor of the Imperial Study like she was throwing trash. "Is this dowry heavy enough? Your Majesty, are you going to marry him or not? "
Su Man's expression slowly turned complicated. She even started suspecting that the woman in front of her might not be her imperial sister.
How could the ambitious imperial sister throw away her biggest trump card for a man?
This wasn't Su Wan's personality.
Although she was suspicious, Su Man knew that the token was real.
"Imperial sister, you're really willing to give up … the imperial family's secret guards?"
Suman asked tentatively.
Su Wan smiled in disdain. "Other than Bi Lou, I'm taking him away. You can do whatever you want with the rest."
"You're willing?"
Su Man's gaze flickered, his sharp gaze fixated on Su Wan.
"Why wouldn't I be willing? What I'm most unwilling to … has already been taken away by Your Majesty. What use do I have for these things? Even if I possess monstrous power and influence, there is no one else who can share it with me. "
Saying this, Su Wan smiled at Su Man charmingly. "Your Majesty, you only have one chance. Don't wait for me to regret it. Are you going to accept this token or not?"
"I'm accepting it!"
No matter if Su Wan was telling the truth or not, Su Man wouldn't miss this heaven-sent opportunity.
"Okay!"
Su Wan smiled seeing that Su Man answered happily. She waved her sleeves and turned around without hesitation, leaving the imperial study in large strides.
The sunlight was still a bit dazzling. Su Wan was dazzled by the sunlight when she walked out. She lifted her hand to cover her forehead. By the time she put her hand down, she saw Yue Qing standing nearby.
He was still wearing a pure white robe. His sleeves fluttered as he stood there, staring at her with a complicated expression …
Capital, Feng Residence's backyard.
Because Feng Wushuang had been weak since he was young, he couldn't go out. Madam Feng planted all sorts of flowers and plants in the backyard. When she had nothing to do, she would have the servants bring Feng Wushuang out to take a breather and admire the flowers.
Feng Wushuang was no longer here but the flowers and plants in the backyard were still fluttering in the wind, blooming beautifully.
Chi Xueyuan stood in the backyard of the Feng residence and looked at the bright spring flowers. She was in a daze.
"Xueyuan, you're looking for me?"
Su Rui slowly walked into the backyard. He saw Chi Xueyuan standing by the flowerbed in a daze and couldn't help but call her.
"Cousin."
Chi Xueyuan quickly turned around hearing Su Rui's voice. "You're back!"
"Mn. Xueyuan, why are you in a daze here? My mother said you came to find me. What's the matter? "
"I …"
Chi Xueyuan looked at the cold and familiar face in front of her. She hesitated before lifting her face and asking solemnly, "Cousin, do you like me?"
Like?
Su Rui hesitated, a bit surprised.
Seeing that he was in a daze and not saying anything, Chi Xueyuan was about to continue asking when Su Rui said faintly, "Of course I like you. What's wrong?"
"Then marry me!"
Chi Xueyuan sighed in relief hearing Su Rui's reply and her tone relaxed.
Marry her?
General Su sneered inside but he still maintained his cold expression. "Xueyuan, do you know why I wanted to become an official in the imperial court? I want to change my life, change my life. Xueyuan, let me ask you now. Do you … like me? "
"Of course I do."
Chi Xueyuan answered quickly this time. Before coming to the Feng Residence, Chi Xueyuan had thought of many things. She was sure that she liked Feng Wuchen too.
"Since you like me too, then Xueyuan, why don't you marry me?"
Su Rui stared at Chi Xueyuan's eyes and said word by word.
"What?"
Hearing Su Rui's words, Chi Xueyuan widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. "Cousin, are you confused? How can I, Chi Xueyuan, marry someone? "
"Why not? Since you and I love each other, what's wrong with a man and a woman marrying each other? "
Su Rui continued to stare at Chi Xueyuan's eyes and his tone gradually turned cold.
"Impossible."
Chi Xueyuan interrupted Su Rui solemnly. "Don't mention me. No noble lady in the capital would lower their status and marry someone else. Cousin, you're making things difficult for me!"
"Making things difficult for me?"
Su Rui sneered. "Chi Xueyuan, I, Feng Wuchen, will say this today. I will either not marry in this life or marry a noble lady!"
"Heh."
Hearing Su Rui's words, Chi Xueyuan couldn't help but sneer. "Sure! Since you have such ambition, it seems like I'm making things difficult for you. I, Chi Xueyuan, will wait and see! "
Saying this, Chi Xueyuan turned around coldly and left arrogantly.
Wait and see?
Watching Chi Xueyuan leave arrogantly, General Su just wanted to say.
