The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 12

Qiao's mother looked straight into Su Min's eyes, that kind of overly calm made Su Min shudder. "I'm afraid the princess doesn't know that the prince has stayed at the border gate for four full years. In order to guard the border gate, his hands cannot be so clean."

I have a hunch that Mother Qiao is not telling the truth.

Or, she still has a lot of secrets.

Su Min's heart tightened, and in a panic, he couldn't choose what to say: "That's not what I mean, is it because of other reasons that he has become murderous..."

His violent side frightened her, and what was even more frightening was that she knew nothing about this husband's past!
"Princess!" Qiao Ma's eyes froze, and she let out a low cry. Su Min was terrified, swallowed the next half of her sentence, and kept silent.

"You are already the prince's wife, maybe you don't get along with the prince, and I feel a little wronged, but what this old slave wants to say is." Qiao Ma looked at Su Min, who was on guard all over her body, her expression didn't show any softening and respect, only her usual reprimand tone. "These words are not what you should say, let alone what this old slave should answer."

Looking at Qiao's mother who turned around and wanted to leave, Su Min stepped forward hurriedly, stopped her, and said courageously. "You also think that I married into the palace with ulterior motives?"

"I don't know anything about your past, and I'm not curious. I just want to remind you from the standpoint of your own good." Qiao Ma looked at Su Min coldly, her broken voice still unbearable. "It's irrational for the princess to spend a lot of time fighting against the prince and living in another courtyard like an abandoned woman."

"Who will tell me what to do?" Su Min murmured with fragmented emotions.If Nangong Zheng was really so ruthless and ruthless as she couldn't imagine, how much pain would she have to endure.

"The concubine has not fully comprehended what the old slave meant. Since this is the case, the old slave only hopes that the concubine will not regret it in the future." Mother Qiao stopped talking, walked over Su Min's body, and walked out of the room.

Regret?
In this plan, she has no chance of regretting it.

Feeling extremely depressed, she walked to the pool in the back garden, watching the fish at the bottom of the water scrambling for the crumbs of cakes that fell from her hands, and gradually lost her mind.

Not far behind, there was the sound of steady footsteps, her hands trembled slightly, and she turned around abruptly. "Who?"

The man was just three steps away. He was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome figure and clear facial features. The light fell on him, which was extremely bright and warm, like the blue sky of the sky, which made people feel happy.

"Jun Wang?" Su Min called out in a low voice, recalling this somewhat familiar face.

"Princess, it's me, Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan smiled, still standing where he was.

His appearance caught Su Min by surprise, and he asked with a smile, "Why did you come, the prince hasn't returned yet, has he?"

"I'm here to fetch some things." After Zhou Yan said this, he realized that there was only silence between them. His eyes lightly fell on Su Min's delicate and small face, and he lost his mind slightly.

"Is there anything else the king wants to say?"

Su Min could vaguely feel that there was something more complicated in his eyes.

Zhou Yan couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and suddenly opened his mouth, his eyes were full of enthusiasm. "Where is the princess from?"

"Jiangnan Los City."

"I've been looking for someone all these years." Attracted by the light in those clear eyes, Zhou Yan looked at Su Min in a daze, and said in a low voice.

Su Min's eyes became hot, and they also condensed into his blazing eyes.

"My sister got separated from her family when she was shopping in Temple Street when she was eight years old. Maybe she encountered human traffickers and went to other places to buy and sell. I haven't heard from them all these years." Zhou Yan talked about these past events, his handsome face became a little darker, and his tone It also gradually became heavier. "When I saw the princess at the banquet, I even thought it was a hidden arrangement."

"Am I similar to the county king's younger sister?" Su Min asked softly with a smile on her face.

Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, extremely helpless: "Yes, the charm of the eyebrows and eyes is especially special, but I haven't seen her for many years, so I think she should be a girl who has changed a lot."

The sincerity of his every word and the glimmer of light in his eyes made people see a man who is affectionate and sexual, a brother who is affectionate and righteous, and Su Min's heart was vaguely touched.

"My sister's life or death is uncertain. If she is still alive, she should be 16 years old." Zhou Yan let out a long sigh of relief, his expression was no longer so dignified, and he looked at Su Min with a smile and said. "Maybe, she's already married and has a child."

"Of course." She smiled at him, and she hasn't given up on him for eight years, which is really moving.

A gentle and polite tone, mixed with a bit of apology, escaped from Zhou Yan's lips. "I've talked too much today, please forgive me, Princess, and thank you for patiently listening to my nonsense."

"You are so kind to my sister." A different emotion flowed through Su Min's heart, making her beautiful and suddenly a little more melancholy.

"Family, it should be so." Zhou Yan didn't let go of the darkness in her eyes, and she couldn't bear the hesitation of her sudden lost smile.

"There are also some family members who are different." Su Min looked away and landed on a certain point, his eyes were distant and peaceful.

"Wang Concubine?" The sparkle in those eyes seemed to be a little sad, just like the faint fragrance on her body, which aroused feelings that shouldn't be pity.

Zhou Yan didn't make a sound. At this moment of stagnation, he realized that there seemed to be some unknown pain hidden deep in Su Min's eyes.

Is it his illusion?
"Looking at the concubine, I feel very close to myself..." But she was married, and she couldn't allow herself to take a step closer. Zhou Yanjun frowned, trying to restrain herself.

"It's a pity that I'm not the younger sister of the county king. Otherwise, it would be a great blessing to have a brother like the county king." Su Min stared at this man for a long time, suppressing the emotions that should not be in his heart, and said quietly.

"If you hadn't married Zheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain myself from being sworn brothers and sisters with you." Zhou Yan looked back, laughed loudly, and made harmless jokes. endlessly.

Su Min became silent. To her, Zhou Yan was just a stranger who had met twice, but a stranger could easily warm her heart.

She was suddenly a little scared, what was the emotion that was stirring in her heart, was it just because of the long-term isolation and helplessness, was it just because of the loneliness that no one cares about?
She really didn't know, so she could only leave Zhou Yan in a hurry, but the fiery eyes behind her followed her closely.

Staring at her completely out of his sight, Zhou Yan turned around.

Those eyebrows and eyes are so similar...

Su Min has a very long-lost feeling, she is very much like the sister she has been looking for for a long time.

Zhou Yan suppressed all doubts and joys, and convinced himself that this woman is Zheng's wife, and even a noble concubine, and he must stick to his duty.

"What are you looking at? Zhou Yan."

Nangong Zheng's smile lines were deep, his handsome and clear face was unruly and wild, and his voice was slightly deep, mellow and captivating.

"Zheng, don't you want to return to court tomorrow?" A look of astonishment was fleeting on Zhou Yan's face.

"You also know that I don't like to play cards according to common sense." Nan Gongzheng followed Zhou Yan's direction, looked at the already empty courtyard, and asked lightly.

"Look at what?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Yan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go drink."

"Tomorrow is not too late for such a small matter as drinking, but tonight, I have more important things to do." Nangong Zheng smiled wickedly, and those dark eyes were suddenly covered with secretive emotions.

Su Min took out a bag of high-quality ginseng tea from the other courtyard, and was about to go to hand it to Qin Ge'er.

She is indeed at war with Nangong Zheng, but she bears the status of a princess and is the mistress of the palace, but she has no intention of dealing with this favored concubine who is pregnant with children.

I don't want other people to define themselves with the word jealousy.

Before reaching the garden, Su Min's footsteps stopped suddenly.

The seemingly uninhabited yard was just ten steps away from his eyes.It was already early winter, and the elegant plum blossom fragrance wafted from the yard, wafting into Su Min's breath.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Su Min's eyes flickered, and he hid himself behind the pillars of the corridor.

Mother Qiao glanced behind her, then took out a bunch of gold and copper keys, and opened the door expressionlessly.

What ulterior secret is hidden here?

Su Min hugged the ginseng tea in the brocade belt tightly, and followed lightly. The lightly closed door and the opened lock that was close at hand shone slightly in his eyes, as if he was doing the last invite.

Putting her eyes on the crack of the door, she looked at the scene of the courtyard. What surprised her was that this seemingly deserted courtyard seemed to be cleaned every day.

Qiao's mother's figure disappeared in the farthest room, and there seemed to be no other figure here.

Su Min stuck the door panel with both hands, slowly pushed it open, and stood in the courtyard, his vision became wider.Sure enough, there are more than a dozen plum trees planted in front of the yard. The plum blossoms bloom beautifully on the branches in twos and threes, which makes people happy physically and mentally.

Suddenly, she saw a boy in white in the Merlin.

He was lying on the thickest plum tree, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, his white shirt was hanging down gently, fluttering in the wind, like a plum blossom elf...

Su Min couldn't help sighing softly in her heart, what a beautiful picture, I didn't expect it to be so pleasing to the eye from a young man.What caught my eye was a handsome boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slender and straight frame, elegant and handsome appearance, quite delicate.

Yes, Su Min is very sure that he is a man, even though he has a daughter who is not as handsome as him.

If he was bigger, he might also be a handsome man who fascinates young girls.

His black hair was not tied up, but hung behind his head. His white jade-like face was full of peace. Although Su Min was a little worried about whether the plum tree could support him to continue his deep sleep, he still took a nap contentedly.

Who is this boy?

A plum blossom petal fell from the twig at the top, like flakes of falling snow flying round and round in a small arc in the air. Su Min didn't realize that he was staring at the falling plum petal with bated breath, and then it quietly landed on the young man's forehead. Heart.The plum petals and her gaze.
