The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 142

She leaned towards Zhou Yanfu, but never raised her eyes. He looked at her figure and frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, he came to the camp alone, and most people in the camp would rarely recognize him if they didn't rely on tokens.

Not to mention, the women in the camp.

"Don't the king recognize me?" Su Yu smiled faintly, and slowly raised his eyebrows. On his plain face without makeup, the pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes still made people feel amazing.

"You are." Something seemed to flash through Zhou Yan's mind, but he was not a womanizer in the first place, and he was not good at remembering women's appearance.

Su Yu was extremely frustrated by Zhou Yan. There are still people in this world who don't care about her after seeing her. It hurts her self-esteem and pride as a woman too much.

Suppressing the curse in her heart, she smiled like a flower and said lightly. "We met once in the palace, although it was only one side."

"Really? Why don't I remember?" Zhou Yan laughed at himself, carefully examining Su Yu's expression.

"I am a relative of the concubine, and I once took refuge in the palace for a period of time. So, the Duke of Zhou must have remembered." Unable to conceal embarrassment and resentment, Su Yu's expression was a little unnatural, but he still maintained his expression. With a soft smile, he asked patiently.

"So it is." In Zhou Yan's eyes, there was a fleeting complex emotion. He jumped off the horse and looked at her coldly, "Are you a relative of the Su family?"

Su Yu lied for himself without hesitation, for fear of being caught by Zhou Yan. "It's the princess' cousin, the county king."

Zhou Yan's eyes darkened again and again, and his smile faded away. Looking at her expression, she became much more indifferent and distant. "You are really good at telling nonsense with your eyes open."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? I am indeed a true member of the Su family." When Su Yu thought of Su Min driving their mother and daughter out of the Su family, and Nangong Zheng tearing up her last hope, she She wanted to reveal her true identity, but in the end, she held back.

Zhou Yan sneered softly, his gaze seemed to be mocking her imperfect lie. "If it's a relative of the Su family, how could she not know that she's not the princess?"

"It turns out that the king of the county is referring to this." Su Yu changed his words accordingly, his expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Of course I know, from the time I arrived at the capital's palace and saw who was receiving me, my heart It's all clear."

Zhou Yan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He wanted to see clearly whether it was a disguise or not.

But what this woman said was not empty and empty. "The concubine is not the daughter of the Su family, but the second young lady of the Su family. Because she was too panicked when she saw my sudden arrival, she begged me to pretend that I didn't know anything, and turn a blind eye."

"How could there be no curiosity and suspicion?" He asked in a cold voice.

Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile, with an innocent and embarrassed expression, and his words were not biased. "The Su family is burdened with such a serious crime of impersonation. I don't dare to say it casually. Maybe there are difficulties, or there may be unspeakable secrets. Besides, after all, this will implicate many people. In this world, who would like to cause trouble and cause fire? Self-immolation, what do you think of the county king?"

There was a brief silence between the two of them, and finally she heard Zhou Yan's voice after a while. "Why are you here?"

"It's the prince who thinks that Su Min and I are cooperating to deceive him. In his rage, he threw me into this terrible place. Naturally, I am a powerless commoner who dare not speak out. King, just now Do you know how happy I am when I see you?" Kneeling down abruptly, Su Yu held Zhou Yan's clothes tightly with both hands, and shed a line of tears silently. "Please, take me away, as long as I can get out, I am willing to do anything."

The tone of her words was very real, her tears were very clear, it seemed that all these sufferings were definitely not fabricated.

"Even if I want to serve you as the servant of the county king for the rest of my life, I'd be happy." Holding on to the last straw, Su Yu secretly swore that as long as he could leave, he would pay any price.She was originally a woman who was good at deceiving the world, and she had the most cunning temperament. Except for her biological mother who knew her well, everyone in this world would be deceived by her appearance.

Zhou Yan looked at her face, concentrating on thinking, without any expression on her handsome face.

In the study room, there was the faint sound of flipping through the books. Mr. Wen sat beside him, making tea slowly and smiling faintly. "Because I was imprisoned, I fought back vigorously. Such an excuse is much more beautiful than planning to seize the throne. What the prince wants is to let the hearts of the people of the world belong to you."

What a good plan.

It seems that it is more meaningful to take refuge in Nangong Zheng than to stay with that fatuous emperor.

The man opposite was wearing a loose purple robe, leaning on the soft couch by the window with his forehead propped up, as if he was a little tired. "Master Wen should also be clear that a person with great patience is intended to stop being patient one day."

Although Nan Gongzheng's words were plain, the deep meaning in them made Wen Zhong's eyes dim.A smile appeared on his face again, and he said without hesitation, "My lord has such qualifications. The old minister has already said that you are the best candidate to inherit the mantle of the Nangong royal family."

Although the royal family relies on the qualifications of orderly seniority, in fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor's biological mother is Empress Xiaoliang. Compared with the third prince, of course she has more advantages.

However, at this moment, it seems that the position and order that were determined at the beginning, and the inherent glory, may be replaced and destroyed by more talented and ambitious people at some point.

When Nan Gongzheng's tone seemed distressed, he sighed faintly and asked Wen Zhong for his opinion. "Those courtiers who often oppose the king in the court and stand on the side of the emperor, how do Lord Wen think this king should treat them?"

With a smile on his face, Wen Zhong couldn't hide his insight into the sophistication, the calmness of the storm, and the cruelty in every word. "Every time a dynasty changes, many people will die. Those who know the current affairs are the heroes. This is the eternal truth."

Nangong Zheng raised the corners of his lips indifferently, and said with a smile, without any joy or anger in his tone. "Master Wen is really more vicious than this king."

It seemed that his answer pleased Nangong Zheng.

Wen Zhong got up with a smile, his tone became more and more indifferent. "There is no fighting, no blood, no dying, and no chance to start over."

"Now I finally know why Mr. Wen is so popular with me." Nan Gongzheng left this sentence calmly, and silently closed his black eyes, as if falling into a nap.

Wen Zhong suppressed his smile and said seriously. "Although the old minister does not have the talent of the prince, to put it bluntly, he is similar to the prince."

Hearing this, Nangong Zheng raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

"The old minister sees that the prince is very tired, let's go to bed early, and the old minister will leave." Wen Zhong was very good at reading his face, said in a low voice, and then retreated.

Again.

Nangong Zheng suddenly grabbed the blanket on the soft couch tightly. Although he still didn't open his eyes, it was obvious that he was restraining himself.

Cold sweat broke out from his pale handsome face, and the heart-piercing pain made him unbearable.

Any moment, when suffering, becomes longer and longer.

He suddenly yelled, got up abruptly, and pushed away the broken jade round table in front of him. The black hair on his forehead covered the pair of extremely sinister eyes, like a wild beast, everything he could see in front of him, Smashed and destroyed.

This kind of catharsis can make him happy.

His vision became blurred, which was a feeling he hated. The headaches in the past had already troubled him, but now the toxicity in his body brought him to the brink of madness.

Whose face, with a faint smile, a picturesque face, and the sweet dimples at the corners of the mouth, are fleeting in the next moment.

It seems to be enough to make him distracted for a while, and stop perceiving, whether the severe pain in his body has the power that is more sad than death.

That person...is...

The frown of Nangong Zheng's brow deepened. The scene of yesterday was vivid in his memory. When he resisted those random arrows alone, even when his left arm was injured by random arrows, he didn't feel any pain, but when he saw the fresh blood on the ground. After that, it feels clear and real.

A child of more than one month.

She had indeed been touched by that man.

And willingly.

She was actually willing to be a gentle and gracious wife for that man.

Clenching his teeth, thinking of this moment, the face became more blurred in his vision, and he slammed the side of the table leg, exerting force.

bang.

The table is split in two.

The sharp wooden thorn pierced through his palm immediately, and blood gushed out.

One hand slowly stretched out from behind the curtain, softly caressing the miscellaneous books on one side of the coffee table, the heart became more and more empty and boring when recuperating, fortunately, the shopkeeper Jin bought a few books that are widely circulated nowadays from the study outside. Booklet of poems, to solve her boring moments.

It's been a long time since she touched that miscellaneous book. She remembered that she put it on the side of the tea table before taking a nap. Why can't she find it now?

Su Min sighed softly, it was difficult to move her body now, so she had to turn sideways, gently lifted the curtain, and kept her eyes on the tea table, but there was nothing.

She frowned suddenly, where did the booklet go?

Her eyes moved down slowly, and when she came to the pair of black boots a few steps away, her heart tightened suddenly, and she raised her eyebrows to look at him.

It's Nangong Zheng.

How long has he been here?

Did she just fall into a nap, or did she just arrive?

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but he just flipped through the booklet in his hand, looking at it engrossed.Only then did Su Min turn her eyes back to him.

He is safe and sound.

She still vaguely remembers the scene where he defended her against random arrows, and she was thrilled to see it, and she couldn't even imagine how shocking it would be on the battlefield where thousands of soldiers were fighting to shake the sky.
