C10 Xiao Qi I'm Sorry

The sun was setting. It was rare that Jun Moran did not pester her as usual today. Finally, she could catch her breath. During this period of time, she had not taken good care of Xuan, so she could not help but feel guilty.

She slowly lowered her head and walked to a place not far away from the mansion. She looked up and saw a familiar figure pacing back and forth in front of the door. It was none other than Yuan Jin.

The fiery sunset hit the last ray of light on his pretty face. Su Mann stopped in her tracks. At this moment, there was excitement and unwillingness in her heart. Bitterness, shame, and sadness. All kinds of emotions surged over like a tsunami. She really wanted to throw herself into that warm embrace and cry out loud.

However, the tears in her eyes had long frozen into ice, unable to be preserved. If she had been buried in the sea of flames back then, there wouldn't have been all types of difficult choices today, right?

Yuan Jin had long noticed her. Seeing the sadness in Su Mann's eyes, he strode forward and embraced her. After not seeing her for a few days, her thin body became thinner and thinner.

Su Mann's eyes were tightly closed and an indescribable sour feeling surged up from her chest. There was a dull pain in her chest. This feeling was vaguely familiar, as if it was bitter and astringent. It burned her lungs and she could not break free.

"Seven." This familiar and warm call broke the string in the deepest part of her heart.

Su Mann tried her best to blink a few times and finally forced her tears back. She looked up at Yuan Jin and felt Su Mann's gaze. He slightly lowered his eyes and his eyes slowly rolled down from her face. His eyes were filled with blood.

"Jin." Su Mann only called his name but could not say anything. There were rumors everywhere. He should know everything.

Su Mann gently withdrew from his embrace and gave a familiar smile. "Jin has not seen anyone recently. Where did he go to hide and slack off?"

Yuan Jin wanted to grab her hand again but was dodged by Su Mann.

"Seven, I'm sorry."

Su Mann's smile froze by her lips, and her body trembled slightly.

"Jin, are you blaming me?" Blaming her for being stubborn, blaming her for not being obedient and insisting on joining the court as an official.

Yuan Jin lowered his head and looked at her face. At this moment, his heart was filled with pain.

"Seven, I'm sorry, I did not protect you well."

The words of self-blame sounded even more unpleasant in Su Mann's ears. She shook her head and did not make a sound. She could only stand with her head down and let the cold wind blow her coat mercilessly.

Suddenly, she remembered that night many years ago in the Imperial Palace, he stood in the Imperial Garden dressed in white. He was comparable to an immortal. The bright moon was also eclipsed and peach petals flew down. He looked at her with a faint smile and said to her, I will treat you well for the rest of my life.

Suddenly, ten years had passed. Now, the human affairs were no longer the same. He was no longer the youth who soared recklessly back then, and she was no longer the noble princess of the past. Time was ruthless, and he had taken away everything from her just like that.

"Seven, don't rebuild the country. Don't worry about what responsibility you have, alright? We will bring Xuan away and never come back again, okay? "Yuan Jin's eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes.

Su Mann's heart felt sad, but she had to lower her eyes. She was no longer the virgin she used to be. If Yuan Jin could say those words to her a few months ago, she would not hesitate to let go of everything and leave with him. But now, it was no longer up to her to decide.

"Jin, you can leave now. Take Xuan with you. My identity has been exposed. You and Xuan's lives will be in danger at any time. None of the officials in the previous dynasty will have a good ending. I don't want to see all of you follow in your footsteps."

Yuan Jin strode forward and grabbed Su Mann's wrist. The strength was so great that it made her frown.

"Seven, tell me. Did he force you into something? Did he threaten you?" Yuan Jin gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot.

The night wind was even colder, blowing their clothes and making them flutter in the night.

"Seven, let's go now. We will never come back to this place again." Yuan Jin held Su Mann's hand and pretended to walk forward.

"Enough." Su Mann broke free from his warm palm and pulled away the distance between the two of them. She looked at Yuan Jin coldly. The look in her eyes was so strange that no one could tell what it was.

"No one forced me. It was because my identity was exposed that I shamelessly seduced the Emperor. If not for this, I would have been killed long ago and would have implicated Xuan. Now, not only do I not have to worry about this, I can still continue to be the Prime Minister of Great Yan. Isn't it not good to be above everyone else?"

"Seven, wake up. How can you?"

"Why not? So what if I am a useless official? It is better than death. Since the plan has failed, I have nothing to worry about. Furthermore, the Emperor treats me very well."

"You are lying?" Yuan Jin grew up with Su Mann since young. Looking at her current appearance, his heart was filled with self-blame and uncontrollable pain.

"Seven, I know what you said is not true. It must be that dog emperor who threatened you, right?"

"How many more times do you want me to say? I was the one who seduced him." Su Mann's back was facing her body and she felt the sharp night wind blowing on her cheeks.

"Seven, everyone in the world can doubt you, but I will definitely believe you. I only hate myself for being useless and unable to protect you. Why didn't I stop you back then? Seven, I'm sorry. " Yuan Jin fell to his knees with a puff, his eyes red.

Su Mann held back the urge to turn around and tried her best to suppress the surging hatred in her heart. Jun Moran, I will definitely repay all of this in the future.

The moonlight pulled the thin figure until it was long and thin. Su Mann stepped onto the steps step by step. Until the last step, she straightened her back and faced the man with her back. With an extremely cold voice, she said, "Jin, don't look for me again in the future. I am very grateful to you for taking care of me for so many years. I have always regarded you as my elder brother. Now, I don't want to restore my country anymore. This way, you can live the life you want as you wish. As for the things you said in the past... Forget it. "

Su Mann did not hear the reply and did not turn around, only leaving that red figure behind.

Yuan Jin looked at the tightly shut door. His hair fell down to his chest. His face was expressionless and his eyes were empty. It was as if the world had died.

In the past twenty-six years, he had never hated his own powerlessness so much. He could only watch helplessly. Watching her enter the temple hall as a weak woman and step onto the treacherous path ahead. And he could not do anything, just like at this moment. His Seven would never come back.

Rumors were everywhere in the court, and Su Mann's days were naturally getting more and more difficult. If others knew that she was a woman, they might still be able to understand, but it was even more shameful to be a servant compared to a vixen. But every time she heard this, she would only smile indifferently, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

In the Imperial Garden, the Emperor left her behind. Su Mann could not push him away and could only follow behind Jun Moran at a leisurely pace. There were no more colorful flowers in the garden during this season. She did not understand why the person in front of her was so excited that she called him "Flower Lover."

In a daze, he did not pay attention to the person in front of him. The tip of his nose hit someone's stiff chest. When Su Mann looked up, her face immediately turned red.

"What is Lord Su thinking about? Can you tell Zhen to be happy too?"

Su Mann touched her nose that was hurt from the collision. There were many guards behind her and it was not good for her to offend this wolf in front of her. She could only bow respectfully and say, "Replying to the Emperor, this lowly subject is just not in good spirits and let the Emperor see it as a joke."

" Oh? Could it be that your beloved hasn't had a good rest?" Jun Moran raised his handsome eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Su Mann replied, "Yes. Recently, I was accidentally bitten by a beast. This lowly subject can't fight it, so this is the only way."

When Jun Moran heard that the beast in her mouth was referring to something, he was so angry that his face turned green. He could even grow grass, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Since that is the case, why did you attract bees and butterflies if you did not recuperate well? If you get hurt again, it won't be that simple."

His voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth. Su Mann naturally could hear the thick threat.

" What the Emperor said is right. "

Seeing her lower brows and smooth eyes again, Jun Moran's anger dissipated by more than half. The two of them continued to walk forward and not long after, they vaguely heard the sound of laughing and playing in front of them.

Su Mann looked up and saw that the figures of the few people in the pavilion could not be seen clearly from a distance. But who else could appear here other than the women in his harem who were full of food?

Jun Moran strode forward and very quickly the woman in the pavilion discovered them. Xue Ruyu was also among them. For the past month, Jun Moran and Su Mann had been having a good night and night with each other. Naturally, he had neglected the women in the Inner Palace, especially Xue Ruyu. Without Su Mann's appearance, she was originally the most favoured concubine. Now, she was actually thrown into the Palace by the Emperor for more than a month without even asking about it. How could she not be angry in her heart.

"Chenqie greets the Emperor."

The few beauties in the pavilion also bowed in unison. Other than Xue Ruyu, there were also three other concubines. All of them did not have any status and Su Mann did not take it to heart.

"Rise." Jun Moran casually lifted his clothes and sat down. Su Mann and the other consorts stood by the side. The scene was quite strange. If it was not for the red official robe that he was wearing right now, he was afraid that he would have mistaken her for a member of his harem.

Xue Ruyu's gaze fell on Su Mann from time to time. It was not that she did not hear the rumors that spread out. Now, seeing this weak man standing in front of her with her own eyes, she then realized that it was indeed a heavenly beauty. No wonder the Emperor was tempted. It was a pity that it was a man. Otherwise, she would have become the biggest threat to her after she ascended the throne.

"Ladies, please take a seat. No need to be so polite." Jun Moran gestured for them to take a seat and only let Su Mann stand by the side.

Xue Ruyu saw this and immediately snuggled into Jun Moran's arms with her soft and boneless body. Her hands wrapped around his neck and her voice was so soft that it dripped water.

"Emperor, you did not come to see Chenqie during this period of time. Chenqie missed you."

The corner of Su Mann's mouth twitched and goosebumps fell all over her body. It was not because of Xue Ruyu's nauseating words but because that voice really made one's hair stand on end.

Imperial Consort Hui and Concubine Yun were also sitting quietly by the side. These two people seemed to be much more restrained than Xue Ruyu and at least they did not look at Su Mann with that kind of hostility.

Jun Moran seemed to be very pleased with these words and reached out his hand to wrap around Xue Ruyu's waist, "It was Zhen's negligence. Beloved consort, rest assured. Zhen will definitely make it up to you tonight."
