C14 The Woman I like

"Your Ladyship, if there is nothing else, this official will take his leave."

"Bengong has not finished speaking but Prime Minister is in such a hurry to leave?" Xue Ruyu went forward to stop the person with a sinister look in her eyes.

"Sir's small and small body is actually able to withstand Aunt He's silver needles. It really makes Bengong look at you in a new light. Next time Bengong will definitely leave an even bigger surprise to Sir. Sir, remember not to be too surprised."

After Xue Ruyu said that, she swaggered off.

Su Mann looked at her back and seemed to be lost in thought. Finally, a helpless smile appeared on her lips. As a princess of a country, it was fine for her to be involved in politics, but in the end, even the scenes of the harem had to be played one by one. When Royal Father was the emperor, she had watched him a lot, but she did not expect that he would one day fall on her.

Su Mann looked into the distance. The little eunuch who had sent the message was still standing there. It seemed like Jun Moran was still discussing with the envoys, but there was no news from the morning court that they were going to receive the vassal kingdoms. Su Mann was puzzled for a moment.

A cool breeze blew across her face. She looked up and realized that she had already walked to a lakeside in the Imperial Garden. It had already been nine months and the spring was no longer there. However, the willows on the shore were still hanging low and the lake was rippling with green waves. It was quite interesting.

Su Mann stood by the railing and supported the white marble fence with her hand. Her beautiful face was clearly reflected in the water. After so many years, she had even forgotten when was the last time she wore a skirt.

It was dark blue and white clouds floated around. Su Mann raised her head and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, it was clear and cold again.

She stretched out her slender fingers and looked at the clear lines on it. Even the traces of the piano playing had long faded from her fingertips. It had been a long time since she had touched the piano. Her hands had long been stained with the blood of countless people. She was afraid that she would never be able to wash them clean in this lifetime.

A chill swept across her face. When Su Mann felt the chill and wanted to turn around, a stone flew over from the darkness and hit her ankle. The force was very strong, making it impossible for her to dodge. She could only fall into the lake.

The cold lake water immediately submerged her and instinctively stretched out her hand to struggle. Su Mann found that her body was sinking bit by bit. The water covered her neck, nose, eyes, ears and finally her entire body sank.

A suffocating feeling rushed up her entire body and there was also coldness. Her chest was suffocating to the point that it was about to explode. The air was being sucked away bit by bit as if she felt that her life was leaving her little by little.

Su Mann no longer struggled and allowed her body to sink inch by inch to the bottom of the lake. Perhaps she could leave just like that. At least she could keep Qixuan safe and sound. At least Yuan Jin would not look at him in pain anymore. When the night was still, she had thought of many ways to die. It was better to let fate decide than to let the heavens decide. She was actually murdered by the powerless concubine in the harem while fighting for love. This was quite out of her expectations.

The surroundings were distorted to the point of changing shape. The cold lake water filled her ears and nose, and the clogged breath in her chest kept whistling, as if it would explode at any moment. She closed her eyes, and everything floated up.

In this instant, twenty-three years passed by in a flash. Royal Father's mother, the gorgeous palace, the raging fire, the sight of fresh blood, the falling heroes, and... Under the tender green willows, there was a touch of clear and mild warmth.

She had spent a lot of effort to plan for a few years, and it was so fragile that she could not even withstand a single blow. She was indeed tired, so she would leave like this. From now on, there was no Princess Yun Zhao, no dazzling prime minister, no perverted ministers who served the king.

This was her entire life. She vaguely thought that she would definitely not live like this in her next life.

At the moment when she was about to sink into the darkness, Su Mann felt a strong force lifting her up. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a familiar bright yellow.

The moment she closed her eyes, she suddenly heard a noise in her ears. Su Mann fainted. She did not know that the people in the Imperial Garden were in a flurry because the current Emperor had personally jumped down to save her.

Jun Moran looked at the drenched and pale Su Mann in his arms and panic suddenly surged in his heart. He used his hands to press her chest and wanted to force out the water that he had swallowed but his actions were of no avail.

He was anxious and angry. He shouted Su Mann's name but did not get any response. He reached out to check her breath. Clearly, she had lost all signs of life.

"Someone, where is the Imperial Physician?"

The Imperial Physician who was rushing over was almost kneeling on the ground. He was pressed over before he could even bow. Looking at this face, the old physician was helpless. Could Prime Minister be taken care of well? His heart would not be able to take it if something happened to her every two or three days.

He did not dare to look up at Jun Moran's gloomy face. He put his hand on Su Mann's hand. His pulse was so weak that it almost stopped.

"Emperor... The Emperor must immediately help Prime Minister to breathe, otherwise... Otherwise, her life will not be guaranteed." The old physician who was holding her head up and holding back her saber finished her words in one breath.

The next moment, the surrounding guards and palace maids were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They saw the wise and mighty Emperor hold Prime Minister's head and suck in a breath before kissing her pale lips.

"Cough cough..." After coughing a few times, Su Mann spat out a large mouthful of lake water. Seeing this, Jun Moran quickly reached out his hand to slap her face.

"Lord Su, wake up."

Su Mann lay in the warm embrace and smiled with difficulty. Her face was almost pale and there was not a trace of blood on it.

"So you are not dead." Instinctively, she wanted to open her eyes to see whether it was a dream or an illusion. In the end, she could not resist the heavy eyelids and fainted again.

Jun Moran angrily roared and fiercely glared at the palace maids and eunuchs beside him. "What's going on?"

Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter. No one dared to stand out at this moment. Seeing that the Emperor's expression was even colder than the ice and snow in winter, they all lowered their heads.

When Su Mann opened her eyes and saw the bright yellow bed top, her first thought was to return to ten years ago. But that cold voice shattered her beautiful dream in the next second.

"Open your eyes and look at Zhen when you wake up. Do you think that you can get rid of Zhen's torture of you just because you are dead? Su Mann, you are too naive. Don't forget that your precious little brother is still in Zhen's hands. Even if it is not for yourself, you must think for him. " The cold voice did not carry any emotion, as if it came from hell.

Su Mann recalled the moment when she fell to the bottom of the lake. When she thought that her life was about to end, she unexpectedly saw the bright yellow flash across her eyes.

"It seems that Chenguo is really lucky. He can't even die like this." Her mocking tone made Jun Moran very uncomfortable. He stepped forward and pinched Su Mann's chin. He said fiercely. : "Your life is mine. Without my permission, do you think you can die so easily? "

Even the King of Hell couldn't take her away from him. He wasn't tired of playing with her yet. He hadn't made her suffer so much that she couldn't live or die. How could she die so easily?

"This official will remember. I hope that the Emperor really has the ability to take this official's life in your hands." Su Mann smiled weakly and looked at the top of the bed. It was already the second time in a month that she slept on the Emperor's dragon bed. No wonder someone couldn't wait to take action.

Jun Moran could tell the meaning behind her words. He immediately calmed down and sat by the bed. He lifted Su Mann's hair and wrapped it around his fingertips. He casually played with it and said, "Do you know who wants your life?"

"Why would the Emperor ask a question that he knows the answer to?" He deliberately released the news to use him as bait.

"Haha, sometimes it's not good for a woman to be too smart. Being stupid will reduce the pain." With a push of her hand, Su Mann's face twisted in pain but she did not call for help.

"But Zhen is very curious when you knew."

Su Mann's expression was calm and only her tightly shut eyes and eyelashes trembled slightly, "It was not early, just now."

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "Haha, it is indeed the woman Zhen has taken a liking to. Then you must not die, otherwise Great Yan will lose another talent."

Su Mann did not say anything but in her heart, she felt a strange feeling for his words, "Indeed Zhen has taken a fancy to a big woman."

"You hate Zhen?" He leaned against her earlobe but his cold words were incomparably gentle, just like the muttering of a lover.

Her ears heated up, and then she suddenly opened her eyes. Colourful light flowed out from her eyes, and it rippled with a charming expression. The smile on her face was bright and beautiful like a spring flower in three months, and it was like a blazing sun that had just risen into the sky.

"The winner is king, and the loser is king. I know that I've lost the qualifications a long time ago, and I believe that as long as the Emperor beckons with his finger, I absolutely won't be able to see the sun tomorrow, so why waste so much effort and resentment for these things that don't need to be done?

"You're quite open-minded." He bent over and pressed Su Mann down. He supported his strength with both hands and looked at the person beneath him. Only to see a trace of panic flash across her eyes and was quickly replaced by coldness.

Jun Moran kissed her red lips and gently bit her earlobe. He said, "Zhen believes that you will not disappoint Zhen. Furthermore, your identity is very beneficial to you. Isn't it?" He smiled and increased his strength, tossing and turning as he held her lips together. However, considering that she had just woken up, Jun Moran showed a rare compassion and let Su Mann go.

With great difficulty, she let go and panted heavily. Looking at the person on her body, she said, "Does the Emperor want to crush this lowly subject to death like this?"

He raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly as he laid by the side. "Mann, if not for your identity, Zhen would like you more and more. How many surprises do you have waiting for Zhen?"

When Su Mann heard the "Mann" from his mouth, a trace of pain flashed across her heart. She closed her eyes and did not want to pay attention to him but unexpectedly he actually began to ramble on and on.

"Tell Zhen, why did you help Zhen in the Imperial Garden then?" His voice was very calm, as light as the wind blowing and disappearing.

This familiar gentleness had not been heard for a long time. Su Mann could not help but laugh. Her thoughts flew back to a long time ago following his words. It was so long that she almost forgot that there was such a beautiful memory between them.

That was when the previous emperor was still alive. It was the third year when she had just entered the court. At that time, she was already the prime minister and there were many people who surrounded and flattered her every day. As for Jun Moran, he was an unfavoured prince, and he was silent. He rarely appeared in front of people, but Su Mann noticed the loneliness in his eyes. He was always sitting alone at the banquet, so he was not welcomed by the previous emperor.

That time in the Imperial Garden, he accidentally bumped into the late emperor's favoured concubine. After that, he was beaten by the second prince until his forehead bled, but no one present pleaded for him. The ruthless favoured concubine even wanted to cripple his hands when Su Mann happened to pass by. Save him.

Su Mann did not like to be close to others, but at that time she could not help but help him. Looking at the cold-faced young man in front of her, he should be older than her. She could not help but reach out and wipe the bleeding wound on his forehead.

"Does it still hurt?"

She still remembered the shock in his eyes when he grabbed her hand.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." She didn't know why she had said that, but now that she thought about it, she found it ridiculous.

"Prime Minister, I hope you will not regret what you have done today."

At that time, she only thought that he was arrogant, but she did not expect that his words would come true. She had personally sent herself into this place of eternal damnation.
