The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 37

"keep your word."

Su Yu dropped the four words with a haughty expression, turned and walked away, ending this strange conversation.

In the huge room, she was left alone again. She lowered her long eyelashes, stroked the cat's fur slowly, and whispered softly. "When I speak, I always keep my word."

Ban'er walked into the room carrying clear water and muttered. "Miss, why is there no one else in the yard these days, but these three cats?"

"Did the young lady carry you back from the street out of kindness?" Seeing that Su Min was still silent, Fan'er loosened Su Min's long hair and combed her black hair obediently.

"The person who was brought back has everything, but no kindness." Su Min's face froze, and the shadow between his brows was tightly covered.

"Who is it..." Fan'er was confused, without any understanding.

"Stop asking so many questions."

Su Min's eyes flickered, and he left a sentence.

"Someone stopped me just now and told me to go see the lord after I finish my work." Fan'er touched a pink and tender bead flower and inserted it into Su Min's hair, but she didn't realize that she was already stiff.

"What is he looking for with you?"

Fan'er shook her head, Su Min looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her willow eyebrows were already furrowed.

"Miss, can I...not go?" Inserting a sapphire blue hairpin obliquely, Fan'er's voice trembled slightly.

Su Min stood up, touched Fan'er's shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile. "how?"

The innocent Fan'er's face turned pale, and he looked extremely embarrassed. "I'm afraid that if I say something I shouldn't say, the lady will be harmed by me, but if I don't say it, if the prince really comes out with a knife and cuts my tongue, I won't be able to take care of the lady in the future."

Facing Fan'er's direct words, she knew that if this simple maid was to face the deep Nan Gongzheng of the city alone, she might be able to get something out of her without a few words.

She guessed, and she was right.

The timid servant girl has no other choice but to ask herself for help.

"You go to see him, don't be afraid." Su Min smiled at her to cheer her up.

"But..." Ban'er lowered her head and twisted her little hands, saying that it's no wonder she wasn't afraid, Yuanyuan's body trembled like a flower in a strong wind.

"I go with you."

When she turned her eyes, her eyes were clear and her tone was determined.

A pair of fibrous hands forcefully pushed open the door of the study.

Hei Mou finally turned from the official document under his hand to the two women in front of him. The woman walking in front had a pure appearance and a calm demeanor, while the round and puffy cheeks of the maid who was hiding behind her kept twitching slightly.

"I remember, I want you to come alone."

Pointing at the banner with the wolf hair in his hand, he said coldly.

It's that look!Woohoo, she is more frightened than the wolfdog next door!Thinking of this, Fan'er swallowed.

Nangong Zheng's scorching gaze finally moved away from Fan'er and fell back on Su Min. He was still thinking about it. It was impossible for her to appear in front of him on her own initiative within ten and a half months.

However, the black eyes narrowed slightly, and a treacherous look flashed across them.

What should I say, this little woman just has the courage to walk towards the tiger knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. Facing him, not every woman has such courage.

"My lord, if you have something to ask, you might as well ask me directly." Bright eyes glanced at Nangong Zheng, and she got straight to the point.

In his eyes, she had only been seen for three days, and the calmness on her face escaped layer after layer from those beautiful eyes, as if she had never experienced the night of the winter solstice, and the incident had never happened earlier.The string of silver beads hung from the hair on the forehead, shining brightly, not luxurious, but it made her look more beautiful and charming.

He simply put away the documents completely, his black eyes flashed, and his smile made his handsome face a bit evil. "Do you feel wronged, why marrying this king makes you extremely wronged, but this king is still guarding you day and night, not letting you feel better?"

Hearing this, the smile on Su Min's face faded, and his alienated expression returned.

"Because none of what you said is true. Such a person is not worthy of my trust."

His eyes rolled around, but there was only a faint smile.She has gone through the time when she was most afraid of him. Although the majesty and aura he showed while talking and laughing were still enough to shock her, she was able to become more and more calm.

Smiling lightly, she left a word without haste. "My lord has blocked my words, what else can I say?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a certain kind of light flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to a gentle smile in an instant.

"However, I think the prince has already wasted three months on me, and there is no result you want to see. It would be more useful to put all these efforts on state affairs."

She mocked herself as useless?The dark eyes locked her delicate face neatly, and she tried so hard to prevent outsiders from prying her haggard and cowardly, he couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

"Four years ago, my lord was a great general who frightened the enemy. It's a pity that he galloped on the battlefield and won many battles." Ignoring his inexplicable smile, what Su Min said in the next moment turned Nangong Zheng's face in an instant. .

"It's a pity?" Repeating this word, with too much teasing and provocative meaning, he showed a cold light, such a gloomy expression, already let the surrounding temperature drop to the lowest point.

"As soon as you returned to the court, your title of Great General King was revoked, let alone any reward. It's a pity that during the four years at the border, not only did you not gain the emperor's trust and reuse, but now your military power has also been cut in half."

She knew these words were his taboo, and even his deathbed, presumably no one in the palace would dare to mention them.His status must have been the focus of discussion behind the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Now she is determined and shakes it all out.

"So the prince is too idle and full of resentment, so he has to use me to vent his anger and pass the day?" She smiled harmlessly, and slowly looked into those black eyes, and the dimples were full.

He raised his handsome and bewildered face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.That smile has his usual indifference, but also hides some unpredictable interest.

"Woman, you really dare to say anything."

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she responded impeccably. "It's the prince who is good at forcing people's courage out."

It seems to praise him, but it does curse him secretly.Nangong Zheng's smile became colder by the minute, and a slight anger flashed in his black eyes. It was impossible for him to tolerate a woman being so presumptuous in front of him.

"Since the prince is so capable, then slowly find out the answer and reveal the truth." Looking at him with raised eyebrows, she spoke seriously with a serious face. "When the time comes, if the lord finds any evidence, I will take it at my discretion and deal with it as you like."

Nan Gongzheng didn't argue or explain, but just looked at her coldly, his eyes were extremely severe. "You'll regret saying such harsh words."

But anyone who is stronger than him usually will not end well.

A strong sense of oppression came over the sky, making Su Min's chest suffocate, and it was almost difficult to breathe. She felt timid instinctively, and subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

But that's only temporary.

"What do I have to regret?" She regained her composure, her face and eyes were leaking.A very gentle smile bloomed on her delicate face as always. "Didn't the lord have personally verified his integrity? Of course I am the authentic Su Yu."

"You overreacted." On the gloomy face, there was a kind of treacherous malice. The flaws in her body had already let him see that it was a secret she didn't want others to know.

Perhaps, behind the secret, there will be more things to be revealed.

"What?" She turned her face away forcefully, refusing to face the sharp gaze that could penetrate people's hearts.

"Do you think that this king met the little maid just to make excuses, to touch your background?"

There was silence in the room for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone had returned to his usual calmness, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I'm just curious about how the princess has lived in the past ten years or so."

"The prince is also curious about these things?" Her heart tightened, her smile seemed sweet, but she didn't take it seriously.People who are full of lies, besides her, he is also.

"A person's past is an extremely important part to understand this person." In the dark black eyes, when looking at her, there was a slight strange light flashing.

"It doesn't matter how I lived in the past." Her eyes didn't flicker, and her face didn't show any emotion. When the subject changed, her tone became sharp. "The point is, how do I live under the lord's hand now, isn't it?"

"Princess, don't speak too early!" There was a smile on his lips, and the elegance that the royal family should have had faded away. At this moment, there was an evil look between his brows, not like a gentleman, but like a gentleman. A bohemian bandit.

If you look closely, that cold and sinister expression is no different from that of a wild beast.

She never knew that there would be such a look on his face.

His expression made her speechless.

What he meant was that she had better not show her feet, otherwise, if it fell into his hands, he would give back everything he said today!
"Little maid, go out and get me some tea."

"Me." Fan'er was stunned for a moment. Does she want to listen to the uncle's words or the young lady's?Although she didn't quite understand what they meant after chatting for so long, she always felt that it was not good to leave Miss alone in this room.

"Little maid, whoever took you over from the Su family can also drive you back."

He said in a cold voice, the laziness in his black eyes turned into coldness, his gaze was as sharp as a knife blade, and the air around him condensed in an instant.

He is swearing that he has absolute sovereignty and status in the palace.

"My lord wants to drink tea, you go pour it." Su Min smiled, without any surprise in his eyes, and peacefully turned a blind eye to the existence of Nangong Zheng.

When only each other was left in the study, he got up from the mahogany chair and sat opposite her.

His thin lips were slightly raised, showing a kind smile, with a relaxed and warm expression, as if even the collapse of Mount Tai could not change that lazy smile.
