The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 160

He shouldn't question her ability to get out of the haze, but her usual method is to force herself to be busy without distraction, just like when Master Su died, she put the burden of regaining strength on herself , Don't let yourself have the opportunity to be passive.But now, she is indifferent to the past because she has shifted her attention to the task in front of her.

However, at least she is willing to come out and is no longer so indifferent.

The smile on his lips deepened.

Su Min took a deep breath. The fresh air made people feel refreshed and rational. She looked at the river of spring water flowing eastward, and said softly. "It's almost a preference. I love this small town. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

His eyes fixed on Su Min's delicate face, and after a while, he slowly repeated that word. "It's beautiful."

Su Min didn't notice the strangeness of this sentence, and turned around, only surprised by his answer. "Compared with the capital city, it seems to be much inferior. After all, it's just a small city in the south of the Yangtze River."

Nan Gongzheng interrupted her abruptly, with a stern handsome face and chills all over her body. "I don't like Beijing as much as you think."

"Everyone should have a different kind of affection for their birthplace, why you..." She sighed silently, his expression made her feel nameless sorrow.

Seeing that he really stopped talking, as indifferent as before, she realized that she hurriedly tried to end this topic. "I mentioned a taboo that shouldn't be mentioned."

But Nangong Zheng opened his mouth after a while, his eyes were bottomless and far-reaching. "At one point, I hated the capital so much that I even wanted to burn it to ashes with a fire, or razed it to the ground with thousands of troops."

"So hate?" She lowered her voice and muttered to herself.

He said in one sentence, "It's some bad memories that make people unable to be happy."

"I don't understand." She didn't understand how the pampered prince who grew up being pampered by everyone could say such words, leaving people speechless.

Nan Gongzheng focused silently, staring at the woman with picturesque eyebrows in front of him, and frowned slightly, but that emotion was no longer simply displeased and offended. "You don't need to understand."

He just needs to remember those horrible pasts by himself, there is no need to let her know.

I don't even want to make people feel sorry for him.

However, Su Min was choked back by this extremely cold and harsh words, that's right, she doesn't need to know about Nangong Zheng's past, or the story behind him.

But at this moment, my heart is stuffy and empty.

"I think at least Los Angeles is a clean place. It makes people feel alive and at ease." Nan Gongzheng didn't notice the disappointment in Su Min's eyes, and took two steps forward with a cold face, letting the wind by the river blow him away The pain in my heart.

She looked at his back, but didn't step forward, she just asked lightly. "Isn't he tired of the high walls of the palace and the disputes between power and public opinion so quickly?"

In Su Min's view, Nan Gongzheng is a deep-minded, born ambitious and premeditated man. He won the whole world not for no reason, but because he has been keeping a low profile and accumulating strength for a long time.

Therefore, it took less than a month to become the new emperor, so he shouldn't be so negative.

A talented man like him has concentrated power in one body. It is not an exaggeration to say that he will control power for 50 years.

"Let's go."

He turned around suddenly, Su Min didn't have time to step back, and watched him stride up to her, his body blocked the wind of the river, grabbed her shoulder, and spit out these two words.

what?
She also wanted to stay by the river for a while, at least to see the progress of these workers before she could get by.

"It's windy."

Two more words, he seemed to see through the surprise in Su Min's eyes, but he was more used to cherishing words like gold, before Su Min could utter a rebuttal, he had already pushed her to the front.

Just like just now, he couldn't help but stuff the steamed bun into her mouth.

Everything is too fast.

windy.

The simple indescribable words caused boundless waves in Su Min's heart. She seemed to forget to speak or respond for a moment, and let him take her away from the river bank.

This time, she really couldn't express her gratitude.

Where is the caution and etiquette that seems to be reserved for strangers at this moment?

She asked herself, but couldn't get a complete answer.

No way to know.

"Mom, you're finally here."

When Su Yu heard the knock on the door of the room, she couldn't help being very excited. She trotted over to open the door, and when she saw Ran Xiurong's face, she threw herself into her arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Daughter, what's the matter with you... Don't cry, speak slowly."

Pulling down Su Yu's hands, she looked behind her, then closed the door with confidence, helped Su Yu who was out of breath from crying, and sat down at the table.

Putting down the burden on her body, she looked at Su Yu's face. Now her daughter with plain face is dressed in common clothes, and she doesn't have the demeanor of a lady at all. "Didn't you say that he returned to the palace last time? Why didn't you tell me anything after I waited for a month?"

Su Yu was lying on the table, crying continuously, cursing while crying. "That stinky Nangong Zheng, bastard, bastard!"

Covering Su Yu's mouth, Ran Xiurong was so sophisticated after all, she tried to persuade her in a low voice. "Hush, don't you know who he is now? Be careful that walls have ears, how can you say that? This is treason."

Su Yu's phoenix eyes widened, and she couldn't hold back her tears. This was a treatment she had never received before, and made her fall heavily from the blue sky to the ground.

Su Yu with this appearance couldn't help but make Ran Xiurong furious, lowered her voice, but said in a very serious tone. "Don't just cry, did you do something wrong again?"

Only then did Su Yu wipe away her tears, but she was too ashamed to show her teeth those words, she was full of resentment and had to say them. "That bastard was too deceitful. He knew my identity a long time ago, and even set up a trap to force me to eat the food and drink that I put medicine on, but he didn't touch it at all, and it turned out."

"He knows everything?" Ran Xiurong never thought that the situation would be so serious and their hopes would be so completely shattered, she couldn't help turning pale and full of disappointment.

Su Yu covered his face with his hands, and when he talked about that night, he cried even more sadly. "He actually, actually let his subordinates throw me to the barracks, mother, you don't know how sad it is for me to be ruined..."

Ran Xiurong guessed the outcome of the incident, her face sank and her face was livid. "This man is really ruthless. He can even imprison his own elder brother. How could he be an ordinary person who sent someone to write more than a dozen indictments of the emperor's stupidity?"

Thinking of this, she already broke out in sweat, and looked at Su Yu in her arms with relief. "He didn't ask for your life at the moment, it seems that you have a big life."

Su Yu's sad place is here. "I always feel that he treats me like this to avenge Su Min!"

"I'm really afraid of something." Ran Xiurong snorted coldly, secretly grasping Su Yu's clothes with both hands, gritted her teeth and said: "Back then, I put that dead girl in the sedan chair to marry you, such absurd thing can actually make them Two people, what a joke!"

"Mother, look at the fate of the two of us. I escaped from the barracks with great difficulty, but now I am staying in this humble inn, and I have no money to pay in a few days. Do you want me to drink Is it the northwest wind? Also, mother, you were kicked out of the Su family by Su Min, we have nothing now." Su Yu raised his head, his heart was full of injustice, and his reddish eyes shot out more viciousness and jealousy. "Look at the two of them again. One ascended to the throne and became the new emperor, and the other became the head of the Su family. How carefree and happy are the two of them living?"

Ran Xiurong sneered and held her breath. "They really trampled on us like ants, but they forgot to ignore that the humbler they are, the more courageous they are to perish together."

Su Yu was impatient to finish listening, and said coquettishly. "If this continues, we will starve to death!"

Ran Xiurong was also a little embarrassed, lacking confidence. "I still have the last ten taels of silver here. I have spent a lot of silver after living in the capital for so long."

"Mother, don't you bring silver taels when you go out?" Su Yu's eyes widened suddenly, never thought that all their belongings were only ten taels of silver, ten taels, a pair of embroidered shoes she used to have was more than this amount.

Ran Xiurong was furious, and gave her a sideways glance: "Don't forget, Su Min didn't let me bring out a dime, don't forget how mean she is."

With a flash of eyes, she looked ugly, "I pawned the clothes and all the jewelry on my body to support me until now. You are right, if you don't find something to do, you will soon end up on the streets."

Su Yu suddenly recalled his past, hugged her waist tightly, and shook his head like crazy to refuse: "Mother, I don't want to live that kind of life again, I can't live that kind of life for a day, no, I can't live for a long time." of!"

"So why do you think I'm so attached to Master Su? I just don't want our mother and daughter to go back to that kind of life where we eat and sleep in the open and stared at." Ran Xiurong clenched her fists and said in a cold voice.

Seeing Ran Xiurong stand up suddenly, Su Yu couldn't help but asked hurriedly. "Mom, where are you going?"

"Go see Su Min." She turned around and dropped four words.

"Do you still want to humiliate yourself?" Su Yu's eyes were silent, he just wanted to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, and he didn't have to hide like a mouse.

She smiled, with a strange and profound look on her face. "I suddenly thought of something in the past few days, and she should be interested. If you want to get this news, you will naturally need to pay a price."

Seeing Su Yu's dazed look, she added another sentence, which was complicated. "A hound without food will do nothing for man."

Su Yu was even more suspicious: "How could she give you money?"

Ran Xiurong suppressed her smile and said coldly. "Is it just a dream, how do you know if you haven't tried it?"

Seeing that she was so determined, Su Yu stopped talking.
