The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 143

There was a sharp sword, as if it had rained, and before she could even escape, she was hit by random arrows.After that, he lost consciousness until the servants who drove him back to the shop in person.

She never saw him again, although shopkeeper Jin said that he had come to see her, but after she woke up, he left long ago.

"What are you looking at?"

His eyes drifted to her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not know what kind of emotion it came from, but it looked strangely peaceful, as if there was no calculation.

"It's just a brochure to relieve boredom, give it back to me." Su Min opened his clear eyes and stretched out his hand towards him.

Nan Gongzheng didn't make any trouble, sat on the edge of the bed, handed over the booklet, without saying a word.The moment Su Min took the book, she looked at his left arm through the wide gold silk sleeve, where there was a piece of white, and he withdrew his hand again, and she couldn't see anything.

Su Min stared closely at his left arm, and suddenly guessed what it was, and grabbed his sleeve suddenly.

Her sudden movement caught Nan Gongzheng unprepared in time, she suddenly raised his wide cuff, looked at the left arm wrapped in white gauze, and slightly tugged at Liu Mei.

Pressing down her face slightly, it was not difficult for her to smell the fresh and cool medicinal fragrance. Until now, she silently put down his hand, her eyes flickering.

"How did you get hurt?"

Nangong Zheng's gaze was tightly locked on her eyebrows, which were rarely stretched, as if there were countless worries and troubles.

He stared at those beautiful eyes that were as clear as water, without any waves in his tone. "Perhaps that's what he said. It's easy to hide from a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow." Although he is highly skilled in martial arts, it doesn't mean he can resolve all dangers and disasters alone. He is a human being, not a god.

Hearing this, Su Min laughed at herself inwardly, and smiled helplessly: "I thought it would be no problem for you to be one against a hundred, but it turns out that you will also be injured."

"Is it a mockery?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.

That's when she felt that it shouldn't be. Su Min withdrew her smile, and asked naturally: "Is your goal this time?"

Nangong Zheng's eyes fell on her precisely, and he said in a low voice. "No, it's you."

Su Min couldn't believe it, the capital city wasn't the center of gravity of the Su family's business, where did these vicious people want to put her to death?
But the way he spoke seriously made people unable to doubt it.

"Me? I didn't have any trouble with anyone in the capital."

When Nan Gongzheng said these words, some inexplicable and complicated emotions were entangled in her heart, and her ignorant clear eyes almost made people feel heartache. "Their plan was on you at the beginning, but it was also because of me. If you guessed right, they wanted to catch you, use this to blackmail me, and let the emperor go."

Su Min laughed softly, and there was only a slight calmness on his face: "They are really simple-minded. If they catch me, they can threaten the Third Prince and get back the emperor..." When will she become more important than the emperor? character?
Besides, Nangong Zheng's idea of ​​overturning all rules had taken root many years ago. How could such a resolute idea change all the arrangements and plans because of her life and death?

Nangong Zheng looked at her deeply, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Yeah, I really have simple thoughts..."

A person with a simple mind, such as the woman in front of him.

Su Min swept across his other right hand, the scar on the palm was not bandaged with gauze, it was obvious. "Did the right hand injury also come from that time?"

"Do you care?" Nangong Zheng's fiery gaze almost made Su Min forget how to breathe.

With a flash in her eyes, she squeezed out a smile, pretending to be calm and not chaotic. "You come to visit me, at least I have to ask a few words casually, otherwise it will appear too inhuman, at least I also know how to reciprocate."

Nan Gongzheng stopped talking, only he knew that she was not used to the so-called courtesy to him.

On weekdays, her sharp minions can also drive him almost crazy.

Maybe it's because he wasn't used to being with a woman before, so okay?

Su Min's soft voice slowly drifted into his ears. "However, it doesn't look like the wound the arrow went through."

Also, the scars are fresh and look like they're only about a day old.

She looked very attentively, Nangong Zheng let her right palm spread out in front of her, and her fingertips inadvertently slid across the edge of the palm that was stabbed by the wood last night, just like a young doctor looking at a patient's wound without distraction.

On his palm, all the textures are clear and distinct. She secretly analyzed what this kind of palmistry is.That kind of people should be too calm and stubborn, can easily get what they want, can satisfy their desires, but rarely have love.

Su Min smiled lightly, saying fortune-telling, sometimes you can't believe it, sometimes you have to believe it.

There was a very, very shallow smile on his lips. "Do you know how to read?"

"Ah, no." Su Min was slightly taken aback, what did she see just now, that kind of smile appeared on Nangong Zheng's face, there was an indescribable strangeness.Suddenly lowering her eyebrows, she retracted her hands and spoke very plainly. "It's just that I have been read palmistry by others, and I have heard some similar words."

Nangong Zheng pushed the boat along, blurted it out, and stared at her supple appearance with drooping eyebrows. Although he couldn't see the emotion in her eyes, it made him feel that there was no long distance between them. "Your life should be fine."

Her smile was gentle, but her tone was not kind. "Does the prince mean that I can replace others and take the title of princess?"

Nangong Zheng was helpless, her transformation made her bolder and stronger than ordinary ladies, but she was also stubborn and blind. "You are too fond of contradicting and arguing."

Su Min didn't relax, his eyes were clear, and he pressed the side of the silk quilt tightly with both hands. "Maybe it's because the other party is the prince, so I will do this."

"What is the fate, I am very curious." He pulled Su Min's right hand, turned over the back of her hand, and looked at the palm of her hand. His thumb lightly stroked the texture of her palm, and his eyes suddenly sank.

They didn't know each other deeply, and he never even had the chance to take a good look at the pair of catkins. His handsome eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his face was a little dignified.

Su Min didn't know why she didn't withdraw her hand immediately, perhaps because he didn't make any overstepping movements, but just stared at the palm of her hand.

She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "It doesn't matter if you tell the prince clearly, anyway, the charlatans talk casually, and I just listen casually."

The arc on the far right is like a curved willow leaf, but it seems to be smoothed and disappeared halfway through. The half of the line makes people feel abrupt and uncomfortable.

There should have been a stretch until it connects to the wrist, but Nangong Zheng's eyes flashed, and he remained silent.

He's waiting, she said.

Su Min rolled his lips and smiled, looked into Nangong Zheng's deep and dark eyes, and then opened his mouth slightly. "It is the fate of a short-lived person."

"What do you mean?" His right hand tightened unconsciously, grasping her catkin. Those words were not only not pleasant to hear, but even more terrifying.

However, Su Min had nothing to do with it. He spread Nangong Zheng's hands and explained in detail, as if there was no fluctuation in emotion. "Looking at the texture of the prince, both hands are similar, about half as long as mine. The prince should be the kind of person who has lived for a long time."

Nangong Zheng's eyes froze, and he interrupted her abruptly: "I'm talking about you!"

Su Min seemed to be frightened by his sudden emotional change, lost his mind slightly, and only after a while did he quietly escape that sentence. "The man said that he wouldn't live past the age of 30."

Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, just a few words are enough to reach the level of earth-shattering shock.

As if feeling that Nangong Zheng didn't understand clearly, Su Min repeated the sentence again, his eyes were calm, and there was an imperceptible low hoarseness hidden in his clear voice. "I don't live to be 30 years old."

Nangong Zheng's hand was under her silk quilt, grabbing the catkin she was hiding, and he looked at her more like, more like he had something to say to her, but he couldn't say it. .

"As compensation, it is said that there is wealth in life, isn't it accurate? My father died, and I took over the power of the Su family. At least I can be regarded as one of the best businesswomen in the south of the Yangtze River. Gold, silver, pearls and jade are the most ordinary in my eyes." It's just the scenery." Su Min didn't dare to ask, where did the fiery temperature coming from her hand come from, a burst of sadness invaded her heart inexplicably.

Never thought that one day when he said these words, the person he would face would be Nangong Zheng.

Dispelling the emotions she shouldn't have in her heart, she regained her composure and smiled, "Many people envy me for having such a good life!"

"That's not what you want." Nan Gongzheng dropped this sentence coldly, and looked at her with twinkling eyes. Now that he knows her better, he can see her on the other side.

She is indifferent, calm, gentle, and friendly, like a harmless and beautiful flower, living alone in a quiet place in the mountain stream.

But once she is annoyed, she will be more decisive and indifferent than ordinary women, and the thorns under the flowers are enough to teach people a lesson.

But the blank part of her heart is not something that huge wealth can fill.

Nangong Zheng's eyes were no longer so hot and sharp, on the contrary, they were firmer and gentler than before.

That look pierced her softest heart for some reason.

"I really want to be like an ordinary woman, marry a man who treats me well, live with him for the rest of my life, take care of my husband and children, love each other, hold my son's hand, and grow old together with my son." Su Min looked away and narrowed her eyes slightly. , hiding the fleeting coldness. "I have also had this kind of expectation. I feel that I can wait for what other ordinary women can do, and I can do it too."

Just like people who often live in the dark night, they are more eager for the arrival of light than ordinary people.
