C16 Surprised

Emperor Chong Haoze had always doted on his sister, and now that he saw her disappointed look, he felt a little indescribable in his heart. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

“Brother, can we really not get married?”

“No.”

“Why?” She murmured. Why should she sacrifice her marriage for something unknown? Her eyes darkened, and she was a little unwilling. Her eyes were red, and she raised her head after a while. “Brother, do you think people will regret it?”

Chong Haoze was slightly stunned.

She didn’t wait for Chong Haoze’s reply and turned around to leave.

The palace maid who was guarding outside the Imperial Reading Room saw her come out from the room, and her expression wasn’t good. She sensibly didn’t say anything and quickly followed her.

Chong Haoze looked at her leaving figure, lowered his eyes, and regretted it?

…

Su Zijin and Bei Yuanchen sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a little strange. She lifted her hand to open the bamboo curtain and looked at the street outside. Then, she turned to face Bei Yuanchen. “King, if you want to do something, just say it.”

“There’s no hurry. Let’s go back to the residence first.”

“…” She fell into silence.

But she didn’t notice that when she lifted the curtain and looked outside, a gaze landed on her. She watched the carriage go far away until it stopped in front of the Prince Regent’s residence.

His hand was tightly clenched, and his eyes were staring at the carriage until the servant next to him called out to him, “Your Highness?”

The servant naturally recognized that the carriage belonged to the Prince Regent, but he didn’t know that Su Zijin was in the carriage, so he didn’t know why Chu Junyi was standing there in a daze with an extremely ugly expression.

He didn’t dare to believe it until he saw Su Zijin’s figure following the Prince Regent into the residence. His expression became even uglier.

Only when he heard the servant’s call did he come back to his senses. He put his hand behind his back and followed the servant into the residence. He didn’t even notice the blood on his palm.

The carriage stopped outside the Prince Regent Residence. The butler immediately came out and was stunned when he saw Su Zijin. He didn’t know what to do for a while.

Su Zijin stood still. Bei Yuanchen raised his hand to signal her to follow him into the residence. Only then did the butler dare to invite her in.

However, this scene also stunned the commoners who were passing by the Prince Regent Residence.

The Prince Regent Residence actually allowed a woman to enter. This was almost unheard of. It could even be called a rare scene.

The people in the Prince Regent Residence didn’t expect their master to bring a woman back to the residence after returning from the palace. The shock was no less than the others.

They had been by Bei Yuanchen’s side for a long time. Of course, they had also seen that their master was getting older and there was no woman who dared to approach him. They had been troubled about the marriage of the king.

They didn’t expect that the king would bring a woman back to the residence the moment the marriage was announced. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

The last time Su Zijin came to the Prince Regent Residence was at night. She was even more careful when she patrolled the residence. It was daytime. Under the clear sky, the Prince Regent Residence was decorated elegantly. It wasn’t inferior to the palace, but it was a bit more solemn. It was because of the intrusion a few days ago. She secretly thought to herself as she sized up the residence.

It had to be said that her guess was right. It was indeed because she barged into the residence a few days ago.

Lin Xie was waiting in the main hall when he heard Bei Yuan Chen’s return. However, he felt strange when he heard that he had brought Su Zijin with him.

His master seemed to be very interested in Su Zijin, but it didn’t seem like he liked her.

Soon, he saw the two of them come together. He restrained his gaze and greeted, “Master, Miss Su.”

Su Zijin’s expression remained the same. This surprised Lin Xie.
