The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 23

"This king is not a backer you can rely on. Next time, who will you find?" He grabbed her wrist, and his dark eyes were directed at Su Min, looking at her bloodless beauty. Yan asked softly. "Zhou Yan?"

Su Min gritted his teeth, his doubts about himself never ended.

"Listen to me, Zhou Yan is a generous man, but as the king of the county, he can easily spend such a huge sum of money." Junmei frowned slightly, and his eyes were sharp, shattering her last hope effortlessly.

She looked at the starry sky in the sky, the stars were shining brightly beside the moon, and those flashes fell in her eyes, bringing endless peace.

Her heart became quieter, and her troubles were gradually dispelled by the beautiful scenery in front of her. She laughed at herself, how long has it been since she had such a heart to look at the scenery in front of her in the sky.

Perhaps, these are all arrangements in the dark.

She accepts such a life, and the Su family will gradually decline.

In this world, is there any person or thing that must last for a long time?
She chuckled softly, with a bitter smile that melted at the corners of her lips, and the dimples beside her cheeks were no longer filled with sweetness, but desolation. "I don't want anyone to help me. Husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. Husband and wife can't rely on each other. Should I expect others to help me?"

"Want to see the Su family collapse?" Nan Gongzheng stood under the shadow of the tree at the door, darkness covered his face, as if he was a devil who was naturally expressionless.

"If this is God's will." Su Min rolled her eyes, suppressing those sad emotions, and said in a low voice. "Even if the Su family collapses, those who have no money and disappear will live in pain."

Nangong Zheng turned around, stretched out his right palm wrapped in white gauze, his eyes gradually darkened. "Have you ever thought about your prospects in the palace once the status of the Su family is gone?"

"Do I still have a future? Isn't everything in the hands of the prince?"

Su Min calmly brushed away her fallen sideburns, and her eyes returned to the original peace and tranquility. She looked at the dark figure with a smile, and finally turned and left decisively.

"Of course, it's all under my control."

A low smile came from Nangong Zheng's throat. Before he finished speaking, his five fingers tightened suddenly, and he held the moon in the palm of his hand.

The next day.

Zhou Yan's footsteps stopped at the gate of the other courtyard.

Her door was closed tightly, maybe she came at the wrong time.

In the next moment, when he turned around, he heard the sound of her opening the door.

He looked back and saw that she was a little different today.

Her long black hair is twisted into a dignified bun, the golden handle on her head is swaying with the light of the setting sun, flashing soft golden light, and the embellishments on her ears are shining brightly, highlighting her small and delicate facial features , The white and tender skin is so charming.

She was wearing a floor-length purple dress, which couldn't hide her thin but graceful figure, and a close-fitting waistcoat perfectly set off her smallness.

It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. When he left the palace, he still had some doubts about whether she could escape from the shadows.

Looking at it now, she is not in a state of embarrassment and loneliness, nor is she pitiful, but as bright as the morning light in spring.

After all, she was a little surprised to see him, but soon she came back to her senses.

"What is the prince looking at?" She looked at him with a slight smile, a faint gleam in her eyes, bright eyes flowing, as if she still had a girlish attitude.

"You are like my sister. She was a child when she disappeared. I still remember that her amazing eyes are those clear eyes, as if no matter how dirty the dust in the world is, it can't fall into her eyes." He bowed his head and smiled, she is a calm daughter, if she can marry into the palace, she will naturally have an open-minded heart.

His approval might not be what she needed, but Zhou Yan still said it. "As for you, Wangfei, you are a woman who rarely has the clean eyes of a child."

"What happened last time?" Zhou Yan frowned slightly, and his smile became a little embarrassed.He knew that she was his friend's wife, and it was not wise for him to get entangled in this matter.

Su Min smiled lightly, her brows and eyes stretched out consciously, like a slightly blooming flower face. "I've forgotten it."

"When you came to see me, you couldn't help but get offended." Su Min looked at him calmly, with some complicated feelings in her heart.How would she express the feeling that she really wanted to treat him as her elder brother?How to express her trust and touch in Zhou Yan?

"Perhaps you have been warned by Mother Qiao?" Her eyes darkened, and she asked in a low voice.

His silence allowed Su Min to see the whole story.She guessed right, there was always a pair of eyes watching her actions by her side.

She changed the subject and her tone became a little anxious. "Then you shouldn't come to see me again." Although he trusted her, she had no reason to put Zhou Yan in a dilemma.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his elegant expression made him even more attractive because of his smile. "I've already told Zheng that I paid attention to you because you are very similar to my relatives. Besides, we are innocent and aboveboard. What other people want to say is their business. Hide and hide , would be suspicious."

"I know that our friendship is not deep. Logically speaking, we only met a few times." Su Min's hands hidden in the sleeves of the wide robe were tightly clasped, with a distressed expression on her face. She opened it with some difficulty. "I have an unfeeling request, if you also find it difficult for you, then refuse me."

"Tell me." He said calmly, as usual.

"I want you to deliver a letter for me personally. Of course, this request is a bit excessive, but I really am." How could she say such an ugly fact? Can be trusted, no one can talk to, let alone help?

"You can't leave the house?" The suspicion was exposed by Zhou Yan, he clearly smelled that maybe her relationship with Zheng was not as close and deep as before.

"He is very wary of me. I can't say too much at the moment, but there is something I want to confirm right away." Su Min hurried forward a few steps, with an anxious look on his brows, not pretending.

Seeing her serious expression, Zhou Yan asked in a low voice. "Where do you want me to send it?"

Su Min bowed slightly, and hastily returned to the house to hand over the written letter to Zhou Yan. She was still a little worried, after all, she had learned a hard lesson, and Nangong Zheng made it clear that she would not let her easily contact the outside world. . "In the hands of the treasurer Jin of the Su family branch in the east of the city, this matter is important. I hope the county king will not pass it on to others."

Perhaps because he was Zhou Yan, the one who had cared for her sincerely and seen her in distress, she was willing to have a heart-to-heart exchange.

She bowed deeply to Zhou Yan, and her eyes were covered with a mist: "I don't have any rewards, the king of the county."

"It's nothing to worry about." Hiding the letter in his cuff, his expression reassured Su Min. "Then, I'm leaving."

"Walk slowly."

Su Min saluted again, with a dignified expression, and stood at the gate of the other courtyard, watching him finish the journey.

The setting sun was shining brightly, spreading all the way, she sighed in a low voice, and prayed in her heart that there would be no hindrance in this matter.

Finally, Zhou Yan delivered the letter the next day.

The letter in her hand fell silently, and she leaned against the soft couch with her back weak.

What Nangong Zheng said the night before is all true.

Now my father has transferred funds from thirteen branches, just to solve some urgent needs, but the big hole has not been filled yet.

It seems that this time, the Su family really cannot escape.

"You seem to have something on your mind."

Wrapped in a precious fur cloak, Tong sat firmly on the soft couch with his legs crossed. The heater in front of him made small beeping beeping beeping sounds, and the slight fire light warmed the cool air in the entire room.

Su Min looked at him with a smile, but didn't respond to him, just sat at the round table, lost in thought.

"Woman, there is something I've always been curious about."

He never called her by her first name directly, as if her name, a word she despises, would dirty his mouth if he said it.

Playing with the white jade fan in his hand, he squinted at her and casually dropped a word. "You should be very happy to marry into the palace and become a princess, but you ask me to persuade the government to divorce you, which is unreasonable."

Su Min rolled his lips into a smile, stood up, and brought the warm medicinal soup to the coffee table in front of him.

"Could you wait for me to be cured, then go ask the government for credit, maybe you can use this dangerous move to make him fall in love with you." With five fingers closed, he pointed the white jade fan at Su Min's face. There was some suspicion in his eyes.

Her smile was confused for a moment, she sat beside Tong, looked at him lightly, and asked softly. "What do you think I can get from the title of princess?"

When Tong heard this, his mind went blank. Women are greedy, but what did she get greedy for?
She raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth lightly. "My husband's love?"

Tong's eyes changed, and his face became ugly. "Think beautifully." The government belongs to him, and the only person to be loved can only be him.

She changed the subject, and her tone became softer: "Can I still gain the respect of the whole palace?"

He was slightly startled. Nothing that happened in the past three months was beneficial to her position.

"Or trust? No, everyone looks at me with hidden precautions." Su Min's eyes flashed, and his smile suddenly turned into water ripples, which melted in circles in his eyes, and finally disappeared.

Stirring the warm concoction in the bowl, she continued to speak indifferently amid Tong's silence. "Then is the most basic freedom? Why do you think I have never stepped out of the palace? It's because I can't walk an inch."

Tong frowned tightly, and he raised his voice and asked, "Don't you get anything?"

"Of course I got a lot." Su Min turned his eyes away, his mood became complicated, and the movements of his hands paused a little. "It's never happened to me before." Shame, bullying, wanton ridicule, persecution, even injury and torture.
