The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 234

Then, she saw that figure standing in front of the rockery.

He turned his back to her, his eyes fell on the pool water in front of him, his whole body was cold, not as warm as before.

"You came."

When he heard Su Min's approaching footsteps, he turned around. Looking at her thin body, he couldn't help frowning handsomely. He stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak around her tightly.

He didn't often express his concern, but he always made Su Min feel warm through his subtle gestures.

"I want to know what you mean by asking me to go back suddenly." Su Min stretched out his hand and held the two palms that were tied with the thin cloak straps on his neck, his eyes sank, and without wasting any time, he Ask the inner doubts.

"It was also a hasty decision. Xidu is now plagued by rampant plague, the people are in dire straits, and the people's hearts are scattered..." Of course he didn't want her to worry too much. He told the truth, but he didn't want to say too much. What he saw with his own eyes was Horrible beyond her imagination.

Therefore, he tried his best to pass it off in one sentence, speaking calmly.

"Why don't you let me go." Without thinking, Su Min blurted out this sentence with burning eyes.

With his arms tightened, he couldn't believe his ears, his face was dangerously cold, he stared at her face closely, and asked in a low voice. "What did you say?"

"Instead of going back to Los Angeles and staying behind closed doors and doing nothing, it's better to let me do what I want to do." She smiled slightly, as if she would not bow her head easily no matter how difficult the difficulties ahead were.

Nan Gongzheng asked her to go back to Luocheng because Luocheng was the farthest from Xidu, so he could handle it with peace of mind, not afraid of harming Chiyu.

But she wanted to do something for him, and for her own country.

Nan Gongzheng disagreed, clasped her shoulders tightly with his palms, pressed his face down, his handsome face was tense, and his voice was cold. "That's the plague."

Just four words, he reminded her not to lose her mind, he hoped that she would not have any thoughts, return to Los Angeles as soon as possible, don't touch what she shouldn't think or do.

She read his nervousness from his solemn expression, but she spoke calmly with a gentle smile on her face. "The plague doesn't necessarily kill people, does it?"

Nan Gongzheng didn't speak, but he didn't acquiesce in what she said. He moved his palm away from her shoulder. Su Min is a very thoughtful woman. How could he not understand how stubborn she is?
He seemed to have a hard time convincing her.

Just because of thinking of this, Nangong Zheng's complexion became more and more ugly, his handsome face was ashen, and he was almost angry.

Su Min's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a while before speaking out without haste. "Xidu is too hot and humid, and diseases are more likely to breed than other places, but the plague is not the most terrible thing. As long as the plague is controlled in time, it will be fine."

"It's a waste of time to do this." Not wanting to continue listening, Nangong Zhengsheng interrupted her, disliking her for going against his decision.

Even, openly challenged, his majesty.

"You mean." As soon as she met Nangong Zheng's eyes, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She really wished that she didn't know Nangong Zheng that well, and that what she figured out was wild thoughts, which were in line with Nangong Zheng's inner thoughts. , did not match in the slightest.

However, Nangong Zheng's expression made her feel that what she was thinking was what he was thinking.

Su Min took a deep breath, feeling very uncomfortable, but still pretending to be natural, said in a cold voice. "Although there are only a hundred people in Xidu, they are still your people. When the plague comes, can we just sacrifice them?"

Nan Gongzheng also had his own principles, his brows were deeply frowned, and he even began to regret it. He confessed to Su Min that after all, the fewer people who know about such things, the better. As long as he does not leave traces, that is the last good result.

"You can't deny that this is the fastest way. Now I have sent people to trap them in one place. Otherwise, if some of them break through the siege and go to other cities, the plague will spread to other places or even the whole country. I will think about it later. What to do is very difficult.”

After reading his words, it is not difficult for her to understand the unfinished cruelty behind.

Su Min's heart seemed to be torn apart with great force. She bit her lower lip tightly, so hard that her lip was almost bleeding, and she vowed not to stop.

Nan Gongzheng remained silent, turned his face away, and stopped looking at her, but his expression was even more uncomfortable, clenched his fists, Su Min's expression, he couldn't bear the burden.

"You want to kill them? Not one?"

Su Min's voice was almost trembling, she had already guessed the measures that Nangong Zheng was about to take when she asked this sentence.Gather those villagers in one place and prevent them from coming in and out freely.Then, he will start a killing, trying to quell this plague.

Not one left.

A chill came from the depths of the bone marrow to fear.upset.Shock.

After meeting Su Min's eyes, Nangong Zheng pursed his lips tightly. Except for Su Min, he blocked the news to prevent the plague from causing panic throughout the country.

Of course, now was a critical moment, and he couldn't make the situation worse.

And he was indeed planning to deal with more than a hundred villagers in the entire town of Xidu. The imperial doctor estimated that more than ten people had died now, and most of the remaining more than 100 people may have been infected with the disease.

Sacrifice the lives of these people and burn their bodies secretly, so that the plague in Xidu will be dealt with as quickly as possible, and of course it is impossible to cause serious consequences across the country.

He thought so, and it seemed that Su Min's thinking was not only different, but also completely different.

His face was expressionless, and he was dressed in blue clothes, which made him look cold and gloomy and terrifying. "This is the best way. Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles."

Su Min had no intention of compromising, walked up to him, looked straight into those black eyes, and asked earnestly. "In there, there may be many innocent people. They have not been infected with the plague. Are they going to die too?"

He almost gritted his teeth, forced out this sentence, and said no more. "Now, nothing can happen, absolutely nothing like this can happen."

Of course she didn't understand.

And he didn't want her to understand for the time being.

Su Min's chest was filled with inexplicable tingling emotions. Her chest was constantly heaving, and it was almost difficult to keep calm. When she thought that the lives of those people might be implicated and they all went to hell, every breath she took was cold. of.

She slowly raised her brows and eyes, and her gaze stayed on the gloomy sky not far away. What she said was firm and unquestionable. "Although the whole world is yours, and the king of a country can kill anyone without any reason, but I don't agree with your approach."

"Don't make trouble for no reason, I'll ask Ling Feng to send you out of the palace immediately." Nan Gongzheng felt a little impatient, and even felt a headache. He grabbed Su Min's hand without any fluctuation in his voice.

"The one who doesn't make sense is you. I don't think what I think is wrong." Su Min looked at him lightly, her eyes were clear and bright without shadows.

A deep emotion flashed across Nangong Zheng's eyes, and he sighed softly, but he also didn't intend to change. "This plague is not a trivial matter, it is more terrible than you imagined, so don't argue with me, and leave quickly."

"I won't distract you." Su Min turned her head suddenly and walked forward quickly. Her fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and her nails almost sank into the palm of her hand.

If she pretended not to know, she wouldn't be able to sit back and relax in Los Angeles. Standing at the starting point, she could already see the future results.

Furious, Nangong Zheng chased her for a few steps, pulled her back, trapped her in his arms, and roared, as if he had been irritated. "Come back to me! Don't do stupid things!"

"Because I think this is a mistake. Maybe you think it's okay to deal with them secretly. If you are dug out, you will be just a tyrant in the eyes of the world. What's more, those are not kittens and puppies. They There are people, there are families, there are parents and children, there are family members and friends..." She was silent for a moment, then raised her face and looked deeply into Nangong Zheng's eyes, her expression was too moved to ignore it. "Don't you think the memories of the past are very painful? I believe that among the more than 100 people, there are many children who have not grown up. Do you want to deprive them of their lives?"

He couldn't restrain the turbulent emotions in his heart, he gave a low drink, his eyes were cold. "When the plague spreads, the victims may not be just a hundred, maybe a thousand, or 1, and it may not only destroy dozens of families, it may be hundreds of families, and it may even cause turmoil in the entire dynasty. Uneasy, can't you think about the problem from my point of view?"

Hearing this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Su Min felt as if her heart had burst. The flood flooded her heart, making her feel helpless and suffocated. "It's because I stand on your side that I don't want you to make mistakes again and again."

His eyes became more and more gloomy, he grabbed her delicate jaw, and his tone was extremely indifferent. "Because you've already decided that I'm a tyrant, right?"

There was no trace of fear in Su Min's eyes, no trace of dodge, she could not approve of Nangong Zheng's extreme paranoia. "If you want me to turn a blind eye to it, I can't do it. Maybe I, who know nothing, can agree with your approach."

"Women shouldn't meddle in state affairs." He was in a hurry, so he didn't choose what to say.

Su Min stared at him silently. She once sat together and read the memorial to him. She vividly remembered how sweet the two of them were.And his words seemed to be rubbed with a poisonous sharp sword, cutting the sweet past scene in an instant.

The next moment, the corner of her mouth raised a very shallow smile, that smile was too light, as if it had no weight at all, more like a gust of wind would take away her smile in an instant. "This is for concubines in the harem, but I am not, so it is useless to me."

"Are you ignoring my decision?" Nangong Zheng raised his eyebrows. She said that she is not a concubine in the harem, so she does not have to abide by the rules in the palace. Maybe she said it too calmly, and his anger came from nowhere. He felt displeased.
