The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 171

Concubine Liu's past?
Is it unpleasant experiences and memories?Why would she, who has become a concubine, be indifferent to fame and wealth, and even frequent temples?
Nan Gongzheng once said that she didn't understand whether she cared about the dirt on his body, but now thinking about it, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Qiao's mother also said that she had missed it, and the former emperor made her a concubine in the harem against the displeasure of the world.

Could it be Concubine Liu?Ever been an unclean woman?

No, it seems more than that.

In the past dynasties, there were even women who had married other people, and concubines presented by other countries could also be chosen by the emperor and sealed as the harem. Not every one of the three thousand in the harem was a virgin, which is also very common.What kind of serious life experience did Nangong Zheng inadvertently say the word "dirty" and Qiao's mother said that it was a major event in the world?

A thought was fleeting in her mind, and that small cluster of flames instantly made her whole body as hot as a fire.

She couldn't believe it, afraid that she would say that word unintentionally, so she suddenly covered her mouth and froze in place.

Hands and feet suddenly became cold.

"I see that the female benefactor has a knot in her heart, and it seems that she can't think clearly about something." A plain word without ups and downs caused Su Min's heart to fluctuate.

Su Min raised her pink lips slightly, and said softly with a flickering smile. "Didn't Master say that people who come here are usually people who can't let go of the past?"

"Marriage is actually predestined long ago, and I have no choice but to believe it. After going round and round, I finally returned to the original point. There was a destiny in the previous life, and we can meet in this life." The beads on the palm of the master slid slowly, word by word, but pressed Su Min's heart ached.

With a calm expression, she did not show her inner emotions on her face, and saluted. "I've remembered what Master said, and it's getting late, so I'm leaving."

"The benefactor, walk slowly."

Su Min walked out from the east gate, looking at Ah Da who was crouching like a mountain at the door, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Ah Da jumped up with a pleasant smile. "Miss, are you here?"

"Wait in a hurry." The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, Su Min's tone was calm, and he treated others kindly.

Ah Da is an honest man with a straightforward personality. "No, no, it's daylight. You just need to send the lady back before dark. Miss, you don't know, it's dangerous to be alone on the mountain at night."

"I've finished my work, it's time for us to go down the mountain." Nodding, her brows and eyes were clear, her expression remained the same, and she instructed in a low voice.

Su Min walked in front, and Ah Da followed three steps behind, but before reaching the halfway up the mountain, Su Min's hands suddenly covered his waist, and the place became empty, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"Miss, why don't you go?"

That is, mother's relic, since she retrieved it from the palace, she has carried it with her every day, but now, that piece of jade has disappeared.

"You wait here for me, I'll go back when I go." Su Min turned pale, turned around and left, returned to the original path, and walked quickly up the path in the mountains.

Panting, she ran up the mountain gate and walked into the temple. Without wiping off the sweat from her forehead, she bent down and searched carefully in the courtyard, not missing a single corner.

"Why not..." She searched for half an hour with a focused look, and searched all over the Guanyin Hall she had been to and this small courtyard, but she still found nothing.

She was extremely annoyed, and slumped under the bodhi tree, the chill of the bluestone penetrated into her body, but she didn't know it.

How can it be?

She lost the only relic left by her mother ignorantly, she couldn't forgive herself, and suddenly thought of the master she had talked with, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly stood up.

Maybe, Master can send a few disciples to help her find it together.

"The two of us are really destined to meet each other in this wilderness."

Su Min bumped straight into a solid chest, and a burst of soreness welled up her nose, making her eyes so painful that she couldn't open them, and tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably.

This sneering tone was not at all unfamiliar.

It turned out to be Nangong Zheng.

Why did he come to Kiyomizu Temple?
She frowned slightly, and covered her small red nose. This man's chest was as hard as a stone, which almost made her think that he had knocked down a stone.

"Looking at your expression just now, it seems that you forgot something."

He looked at her red eye sockets and red nose coldly, without any expression on his face, as if he had nothing to do with him.

She was in a daze for a moment, not sure whether to regard him as Nan Gongzheng who could say anything in Los Angeles, or as the current emperor who was firmly seated on the throne.

Perhaps, she should salute him first.

His indifferent attitude is completely different from that in Los Angeles. It's only a month, but people can change so much.

He read her thoughtful expression with cold eyes, approached two steps with a sneer, and when she was completely unprepared, he reached out and touched her cheek with a cold and serious tone. "Just don't want to see me so much? His face is so pale."

Su Min didn't expect that he would touch her again. The place touched by his fingertips seemed to have started to burn and spread the fiery temperature. She retreated as if jumping from the flames, her expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty...has the ritual of offering sacrifices to the heavens been completed?" She tried her best to breathe steadily, so as to calm down her expression so as not to offend Long Yan.

She wanted to change the subject, but Nangong Zheng saw it clearly, but didn't point it out.

"What qualifications do you have to ask about me?" His ruthless thin lips were lifted up, and the smile appeared arrogant and rude, even mean and sharp.

He spoke in a tone as if treating a stranger.

Su Min felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly realized that the decision he had made was actually not unexpected. Once a man as proud as Nan Gongzheng was rejected, he would distinguish boundaries with the other party, and even continue to confront each other, always...

So, she also made corresponding responses and countermeasures, and she finally knew how to face him.

"Yes, Minnv is not eligible."

She bowed deeply towards Nangong Zheng, with a calm expression and peaceful eyes.

She didn't need to feel bad.

"Since the Holy Majesty has come to Qingshui Temple, idlers like women and girls will not disturb the purity of the Holy Majesty." She just wanted to find her mother's relics quickly, and she was too urgent to continue dealing with Nangong Zheng.

"You are really brave! How dare you drive me away." He snorted, raised a pair of sword eyebrows, and smiled at her helpless look.

"No, it's the daughter of the people who left, so how could she drive away the Holy One?" Su Min's brows furrowed even tighter, but the feeling of wanting to leave became stronger.

"What you are looking for is this thing."

There was no smile on his face anymore, like a millennium-year ice, he slowly opened his left palm towards Su Min, the pale green light that shone slightly on his palm almost hurt Su Min's eyes.

It turned out to be her jade!
Su Min raised her crystal face sharply, slightly startled. "Why is it in your hands?"

"Maybe it got tired of the last owner, so it sent it to the door by itself." He said it lightly, and just passed it off, completely ignoring Su Min's anxious feelings at the moment.

"Give it back to me, it is very important to me." She stretched out her hand towards Nangong Zheng, very persistent.

Nan Gongzheng felt that she missed her reaction so persistently. It had been a long time since she had been so obsessed, like a child who insisted on begging for candy from his parents, very...cute.

Holding the jade with two fingers, he squinted his black eyes, looking at the brilliance of the jade reflected in the sun, and sized it up.For him who grew up in the royal family since he was a child, it is not difficult for him to estimate what kind of treasure he has never seen, what she guards so much.

It's just that he looked at it again, but he was not without surprise.

"It seems that this jade can't be sold for five taels of silver."

Su Min's complexion suddenly darkened, and he smiled faintly. "It's worthless. There are so many rare treasures in the palace. Your Majesty wouldn't want something worthless for five taels of silver, right?"

Seeing that Su Min's eyes were full of resentment, Nangong Zheng could easily sense something, so he stopped talking.

Seeing that Su Min turned around and was about to leave, he felt an unspeakable emotion in his chest. He took a few steps forward and grabbed her shoulder, but he didn't hand over the jade to Su Min immediately.

His expression remained the same, with a cold face, he took a silver necklace from his waist and passed it through the jade hole. The red thread that was originally frayed had been torn off by him long ago.Silently put the jade stone hanging from the long silver chain on Su Min's head. The long chain hangs around her neck at the delicate silk neckline, shining with silver light, as beautiful and soft as moonlight.

Su Min pursed her lips tightly, and the cool silver necklace gently slid across her snowy skin when he helped her put it on, and an inexplicable touch rose slightly in her heart.

Although his expression was still tense, it made his handsome face appear indifferent and arrogant.

The only thing is, his eyes are no longer so cold and ruthless, as if there is a corner that has become soft and gentle.

"The next time you lose it, you can only blame yourself." He confessed in a tone as if she was just a child.

Su Min just wanted to calm things down, stuffed the jade into his neckline, hurriedly lowered his head, and wanted to step back and leave.

"In a hurry to leave so soon?"

Nan Gongzheng held her shoulder with one hand, and did not intend to let her go at all. Those dark eyes shone with a compelling fiery light.

"I've heard of all the people you asked Master about."

Su Min felt that that look made her overwhelmed, she clenched her fists silently, and didn't want to talk about her asking Concubine Liu.

Her emotions had ups and downs, and she couldn't help evasive. "I just asked casually."

"Isn't it nothing to do with me?" He took a step closer and asked.

"Don't you want me to completely forget this woman Su Min?" With a gloomy face, he took another step forward with malicious intentions.
