The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 17

The right hand that was writing quickly paused, Nan Gongzheng stopped the movement in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yan's back, without saying a word.

"Ru'er is a very kind girl. She has been like this since she was a child. She would cry for days even when the bird she raised died. And the princess gave me the same feeling...Anyway, I don't believe she has a vicious heart." The woman I'm with." Zhou Yan recalled, the expression on his face was a bit contradictory, and he once convinced himself that he couldn't understand a person just because of that similar face, but he still couldn't doubt that woman.

A woman who is so similar to her sister should also be a kind and lovely person.

"She can't be your sister." Nan Gongzheng's eyes were gloomy, and his voice was even more mellow at this moment.

"She was born and raised in Los Angeles, and she is the daughter of the merchant Su's family, that's all. Don't waste any extra compassion on her, lest you feel it's not worth it in the future."

Nangong Zheng coldly dropped the words, and continued to read the documents under his hand without speaking.

Her body began to feel very strange.

She obviously felt that she was suffering from the cold, but she kept breaking out in a cold sweat. After staying in the firewood room for another day, she found it difficult to even turn over, and her vitality was already severely damaged.

In the chaifang, it was already the third day.

He never came again, and she almost felt that it would not be long before the entire palace would not remember her existence.

Fei Li smiled lowly, she was in the predicament of having nothing now.

Her throat was dry, as if a flame was burning there, she licked her dry lips, and let out a low moan.

The feeling of hunger has faded long ago, but Su Min still seems to be carrying an empty skin, weightless.

The door was opened again.

The maidservant with a spoiled and unwilling face put down the tray in her hand, which was regarded as an errand confession.

Su Min looked up at her, and it was not difficult to see the contempt in her eyes, but it was a pity that she was unable to fight her now, so she could only watch her leave in a hurry.

These servants stood on the side of Nangong Zheng, not only recognized her dispensable princess status, but also naturally thought that she was the chief culprit who killed Qin Geer's unborn child, so they would not show her any good looks at all.

Trying to stretch her right arm, looking at the bowl of cold porridge on the tray, she comforted herself that these leftovers were at least richer than Mrs. Su's bowl of poisonous soup.

"Princess, let's finish eating."

After a while, the servant girl opened the door, glanced at the empty bowls calmly, bent down, and put away all the bowls and chopsticks with both hands.

She asked casually: "Princess, does it taste good?"

"What?" Su Min frowned slightly, and spit out two words in puzzlement.

"If the concubine likes it, I will burn more servants at night." The servant girl who lowered her head to tidy up blurted out without raising her head.

Attitudes changed so quickly?There was no doubt in Su Min's heart.But the good upbringing still allowed her to clear away her doubts. She never deliberately made things difficult for these servants, and she has been doing this for 16 years.

Smiling lightly, her brows and eyes were gentle: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"This is a servant's job." Hearing Su Min's words of thanks, she proudly held up the tray, puffed up her chest, and smiled at Su Min. Her eyes were complicated and weird that she couldn't understand. .

After Zhou Yan left, what he said still remained in Nangong Zheng's mind, and he walked out of the study with a gloomy expression.

It was dusk now, two servant girls came out of the kitchen, one of them was carrying a simple dinner, which should be sent to the woodshed.

His eyes swept over the plate of food, it was very simple, but he did not appear in front of the two of them, but just watched from a distance.Practicing martial arts all year round has made his hearing exceptionally good, and he can't escape any trouble.

"Qiaoqiao, you're going too far." One of the maids, frowning, carefully tugged at the other sleeve. "There is no one in the capital who is more daring than you, to deliver rotten food to the princess!"

"Is the princess amazing? She is even more humble than a brothel girl in her bones, and she hides a black heart. Why should she enjoy the happiness in the palace? I said, let her suffer and learn a lesson!" "Qiao", the servant girl said with a smug face, beaming with delight.

"Don't forget, she sent ten boxes of dowry on the day she married the lord." The honest servant girl asked softly, "Aren't you afraid that she will sue the lord?"

Qiaoqiao said disapprovingly: "The prince doesn't stay in her room at all, he clearly hates her, and she even poisoned Mrs. Qin Ge'er, why should we treat her so well?"

"Then you can't play tricks on her..." Another woman kindly dissuaded her.

Qiaoqiao raised her slender eyebrows, showing off: "Don't worry, although it has been broken for a few days, I made the porridge again, and it didn't smell at all, and she thanked me."

Bad food?They feed her bad food?

Standing in a hidden corner, Nan Gongzheng had a gloomy look on his stern handsome face, which couldn't be added.

Nan Gongzheng stopped in front of the firewood room, signaled the guards to open the door with his eyes, and he pushed the door open with no expression on his face.

Su Min supported her body and stood up. Her face was not only pale, but also lost the beauty of the past. The thin white underwear set off her slender body.

He looked at her face coldly, the bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, her brows were full of forbearance, she raised her eyes and looked at him, momentarily confused.

The left hand against the white wall moved forward, he thought she was about to fall down in front of him, like a fallen autumn leaf.

but no.

He stretched out his hand, and as soon as his hands touched her back, Su Min pushed him away suddenly, covered his mouth with both hands and rushed out of the firewood room, his figure staggered, vomited out all the porridge from the day, and in the end, her stomach became empty, and she Spit out green bile...

When she returned to the original path with her weak body supported, she saw him still standing at the door.

She vomited weakly, leaned against the door and couldn't stand up straight, the nausea in her stomach couldn't go away, she couldn't control it, the warmth in her eyes turned into tears, and fell silently, onto the ground.

With tears in his eyes, when he silently raised his face, he saw her distress just now, and he saw it all in his eyes.

"Come with me."

Nan Gongzheng grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her for a distance regardless of her body being as weak as a paper kite.

He had a tall and straight figure, and his steps were easy, but Su Min, who was so helpless that he almost vomited his heart out, couldn't keep up with his steps.

But he didn't stop for her, and he didn't care about the panting and heavy breathing behind him. Su Min, who was walking limply, narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure in front of him. Although the sun above his head was not blazing, it made her feel dizzy.

Where is he going to take her?
Will it be a dungeon that everyone in the palace fears?
The sweat on her forehead silently slid down her cheeks, it was only a short distance, and she walked extremely hard.The feet seemed not to belong to him, and every step was floating in the air.

"Wash and come out to eat."

He brought her to the side hall, and suddenly let go of his hand. Su Min put both hands on the carved coffee table, wiped off the sweat from her face, and raised her eyes to look at him with difficulty.

how?Today he finally showed mercy?
Unfortunately, she didn't feel that she should thank him.

Two servant girls who came out from the inner hall supported Su Min, who was limp and weak, and walked gently into the inner hall. After bathing the sweaty girl, they changed into a warm jacket before sending her to the side hall.

Nan Gongzheng sat on the chairman. He watched Su Min sit down calmly. After a while, three or five servants brought plates of fragrant delicacies to the round table intermittently.

Su Min was a little suspicious. Ever since he married into the palace, he had been living a secluded life. It was always a simple life. Why did he spend so much time on it?
"Accompany me to have a meal, and then go back to the other courtyard after eating."

He picked up the silver chopsticks and didn't look at her more, but the meaning in his words was far-reaching, and Su Min could hear it.

He let her leave the woodshed.

"Thank you, my lord, for your hospitality and pardon." Su Min's eyes flashed, and then he picked up the white porcelain bowl at hand, took a sip of warm tea to warm his stomach.

She thought maybe it was the cold air entering her body that made her vomit and feel unwell. After the warm tea warmed her body, she realized that his eyes had been lingering on her face.

"Can't you taste the top-quality Tieguanyin tea?" He seemed a little displeased and accused her.

He wants to see if she dares to defy him openly.

"It is indeed the best tea." Su Min continued to bring the tea bowl to her lips, sniffed the tea, and took a sip seriously.The next moment, she curled her pink lips and responded softly.

He frowned, his face cold.

After the silence, Su Min struggled to hold the silver chopsticks in her hand, and looked at the alluring dishes in front of her, but it was a pity that she didn't seem to want to touch those delicate meals at all.

Hearts are empty, but not something they can fill.

Nangong Zheng looked at her hesitation, and his eyes flashed complicatedly. "Why put on a bad face if you don't want to eat, I hate hypocritical women the most."

Hearing this, she smiled slightly, raised the silver spoon in her hand, and put the soup in her mouth into her mouth,
"How is it? How does the food in the Wangfu compare to your Su's?" He raised his eyebrows, as arrogant as ever.

"Of course the ones from the Wangfu are more delicious and delicate." If it is compared with the Wangfu?She responded peacefully, without any extra expression, and swallowed a small mouthful of rice with her head buried.

"Are you used to lying?" Jun's face suddenly turned cold.

Are you still acting?It's too realistic.

She opened her mouth, but she still couldn't speak. It didn't matter what others said about her.

The wayward second lady bullied the eldest lady who was dependent on others, and despised the stepmother who had no status...Is it necessary for her to remember all these gossip?
If she needs to cater to, of course she can.

Her smile became alienated in an instant, "My lord, it's not only delicious, it's better than any flavor I've tasted over the years."

His handsome face became more and more cold and ugly, watching her swallow the whole bowl of soup, pick up the vegetables meticulously, and bury her head in eating.

It can be seen that these meals have been carefully cooked, and the aroma is attractive, which must be naturally delicious.

She put the empty porcelain bowl under his eyes, proving that she hadn't lied.
