The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 233

That woman, the servants called her "Madam Su", although she had no official status, she was already the only mistress.

"Why, you're so unhappy about not being a concubine, you don't talk to me anymore?"

"Not at all."

She was a little annoyed. Anyway, in her life, she couldn't talk to him.

There are only a few big characters written on the thin paper, and the strokes are like silver hooks and iron paintings, piercing through the back of the paper.

"Look, this is an IOU."

"Why do I owe you money..." Mumbling dissatisfiedly, the little princess frowned slightly, took the note, and looked at it carefully.

"Understood."

He said something disapprovingly, and snorted.

"Where did I owe you a favor?" Even the tone between the lines was as tough and domineering as his people, and there was no room for turning around.

He was serious, stern, and angry.

"Don't you know that it's all because of me that you can go out of the palace smoothly? Or do you want to go back and marry casually? Of course, this is a foreign country, and you are alone, but you are sure that you will go back after you go back." Is there a backer who can make decisions for you and let you live with such peace of mind?"

Her voice became smaller and smaller, almost like that of a mosquito. "It seems that you are my backer."

"Don't be dissatisfied, keep this favor, maybe one day, you will need to repay your favor."

This is clearly a threat, as if to imply that she will not have a good life in the next few years.

She could almost foresee that she and a follower girl would have a miserable life without freedom...

Her eyes darkened, she let go of her little hand, and the letter fell to the ground lightly.

"Where are you going?" Nan Gongtong chased after him and shouted.

She didn't look back, her bright eyes shone with determination that no one could shake, and she ran even faster.

"Don't make me act like a cow or a horse, I won't obey!"

She didn't want to be oppressed by Nan Gongtong for the rest of her life.

"Smelly girl, you run very fast. If you get caught by me later, you will die." He bent down, stuffed the letter into his waist, sneered, and strode forward to chase after her.

"Hey, let me go!"

The little princess, who was caught up by Nangongtong not long after, was angry and annoyed. Looking at the hand firmly grasped by Nangongtong, she shouted loudly, she didn't want the servants who came and went to see them chasing and frolicking. scene.

Now that she is out of the palace, she longs for a life of peace and doesn't want to make any ugly remarks.

Nan Gongtong coughed a few times, then quickly turned her head away from her beautiful face, her tone was slightly hoarse, "You have no freedom at all, so don't push yourself further."

"This debt of favor, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

He couldn't help but press the letter to her lips, so that the light pink rouge on it left traces on the letter, like the most effective signature and seal.

This action almost made her face start to burn.

He has always been like this, not just to her, but isn't this action too frivolous?

Her face was like a rosy sunset.

A kind of fate began to take root and sprout when there was no sound.

It's the third day.

It was already the third day, and she hadn't had dinner with Nan Gongzheng yet. She still had some expectations in her heart, so she asked the maid to prepare one more bowl and chopsticks. After waiting for half an hour, she finally heard There was a sound of footsteps at the door, she stood up happily, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw the figure standing at the door, she couldn't help being startled and a little disappointed.

"Ling Feng?"

It wasn't Nangong Zheng, but Nangong Zheng's personal bodyguard, Ling Feng.He was still dressed in black, with an expressionless face and bowed his head, which was regarded as respectful to Su Min. "It's a subordinate, ma'am."

"What about him?" She smiled, not letting Ling Feng see through her disappointment.

Ling Feng didn't look up at her, but still lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, without any twists and turns in his tone. "Master is still busy."

After a brief silence, Su Min asked softly with a smile on his face. "Can't tell, what are you busy with? I haven't seen him these days."

Ling Feng spoke directly, without any detours. "Actually, the master arranged for his subordinates to escort Madam back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning."

"What do you mean?" Su Min felt vaguely uneasy, but in the past few days, she couldn't explain why she was uneasy.

Now, Ling Feng's appearance made her even more aware that something big happened recently.

Ling Feng didn't answer right away, as if he didn't know where to start.

Su Min waved his hand, his brows were furrowed, and there was an unreasonable haste in his expression. "Forget it, you can't tell me clearly, I'll go find him."

Ling Feng didn't reach out to stop him, he gave way, stepped aside, watched Su Min leave, and remained silent.

However, when she came to Nan Gongzheng's study, there were memorials spread out on the desk, the candles were brightly lit, and she could even see the medicinal soup brought by the court lady, and it was on the coffee table.

But, nothing.

And the huge study room seemed even more empty because there was no one there.

An inexplicable void invaded her, and she couldn't find the reason, nor could she find him.

She sat in the study for a long time, but did not wait for Nangong Zheng.

Her heart was very dazed and empty, she didn't know what he was busy with recently, let alone why he asked Ling Feng to send her back to Los Angeles.

Everything seemed too sudden.

It was late at night, and she couldn't wait for Nangong Zheng, so she met Ling Feng as soon as she walked out the door. Unfortunately, Ling Feng didn't know where Nangong Zheng left suddenly.

It seems that there is some plan, which is being implemented in secret.

She was reclining on the soft couch in the room, and the maid handed over the royal blue cushion, and also lit up the stove, and served her dinner.

It's a pity that she can't taste the food, and she can't feel the warmth. She seems to be preoccupied.

The seat next to her was always empty. She held the chopsticks in her hand, and her eyes gradually became darker.

early morning.

She didn't sleep very deeply that night, the voice of the maid Hong'er talking beside her reminded her to get up and get ready. "Madam, it's time to wash up. Brother Ling said that he will send Madam away in an hour."

She sat up, but she didn't get dressed right away, but sat where she was, with her little hand reaching into the pocket of the outer robe beside her, touching the bunch of keys that never left her body.

These days, Aunt Zhou, who was in charge, handed over the bunch of keys to the harem to her.It seemed to be an invisible guarantee, and she didn't shirk it, as if she felt that she could help him bear some responsibilities.

And now, yes, the key is with her, but she is unwilling to hand it over.

In her mind, handing over the key seemed to be handing over something more important.

She didn't know why Nangong Zheng asked her to leave suddenly. Of course, there was a compelling reason, but she wanted to hear it before making a decision. She couldn't leave him without knowing anything.

"Madam, please have breakfast."

Lu'er brought the exquisite meal to the table, and combed Su Min's hair in a bun. Hong'er was about to pick up the cloak beside her, but suddenly saw Su Min's brows furrowed.

"Ma'am, is it not to your liking?"

Lu'er asked cautiously, always feeling that Su Min, who was always approachable, was a little abnormal this morning.

An unbearable impulse forced Su Min to stand up and hurried outside.The uneasiness in her heart has become heavier and heavier, almost making her unable to bear it.

The cold wind was blowing, she was in a hurry, she forgot to put on her outer clothes, her face was pink and reddish from the cold wind.When she walked into Nangong Zheng's bedroom, her hands and feet were already as cold as ice.

Her heart became even colder.

He still hasn't come back.

He seemed to have gone to a very far away place, so he made a decision a day ago and told Ling Feng what to do, and he didn't even have time to meet her and see her off.

Even if it's just a word to her... Her heart hurts a little bit, and it's not difficult to just listen to Nangong Zheng's words and return to Los Angeles obediently. After all, it's impossible for her to stay in the capital for the rest of her life. , but she couldn't help worrying about his safety.

Although he didn't say anything, he gave her a kind of pressure. She seemed to have to spend a long time without seeing him, and he was busy now, and the extremely important event was even more likely to be extremely dangerous.

"lady."

Standing three steps away from her, Ling Feng gave her a look, and Hong'er, who looked frightened, immediately stretched out the fur cape in his hand, and put it on for Su Min.

It's winter now, and the weather in the capital is very cold.

If a delicate woman stands in the wind, sooner or later she will get cold.

But his responsibility is not to let Su Min get hurt or get sick, she must be unscathed.

"Madam, let's go early, it may snow today, and it will be difficult to travel later."

Ling Feng said this sentence with a very sincere tone.

"I want to see him before leaving."

Su Min's attitude has not changed, she can't be a puppet without thinking and not think about him.If it is really dangerous, she can't run away alone, it's not fair.

There is no reason why when she is facing a crisis, he will appear, resolve it for her, and accompany her.

But she can be a little woman who must be protected by a man openly, she doesn't want to do that.

"Since the madam insists on this, please go back to the house and wait. As soon as the master comes back, the subordinates will immediately report."

Ling Feng compromised. After all, he could see clearly that Su Min's eyes were full of stubbornness and principles in his heart.

After waiting for about half an hour, finally hearing Ling Feng's stingy voice, Su Min's eyes flashed, and he pushed the door open.

She remained silent, and followed Ling Feng to that road. Ling Feng's footsteps were so fast that she could hardly keep up. Him, ask everything clearly.

She can't care about anything.

In the huge flower garden, the begonias have all withered now, and the chill of winter seems to be hidden in the buds of winter plums, waiting for the next snow and ice to bloom beautifully again.
