"The princess and Mr. Fu have been waiting for a long time. Your Majesty is letting you two in."

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Xu."

Su Changle smiled sweetly.

Eunuch Xu is an old man who has always served His Majesty, and now he has the position of chief steward.

"The princess can kill this old slave." Eunuch Xu looked at Su Changle and smiled gently.

Su Changle has been watched by Eunuch Xu since she was a child. Such a small and tender little girl has now become like this.

No matter what, when I see the little girl growing up, I always have a preference in my heart.

Fu Yan and Su Changle followed Eunuch Xu into the inner hall. His Majesty had just finished approving the booklet and had dinner. Now he was sitting in the hall with a book to eat.

He watched the two people coming from a distance and put down the book in his hands.

"Anping, Fu Yan, come here."

His Majesty waved his hands to the two people.

Upon hearing this, Su Changle and Fu Yan stepped forward and stood in front of His Majesty.

I saw His Majesty looking at the two people several times, nodding in the middle.

Su Changle's nervous scalp was numb.

Although she was arrogant, she never thought of resisting the decree.

If His Majesty really proposes marriage today, she might really be in trouble!

Su Changle was so worried, but Fu Yan was very relaxed.

He was waiting for His Majesty's next words.

"Your Majesty, Anping has something to tell your Majesty today." Su Changle closed his eyes and said directly, "Anping has found someone he likes recently, and I would like to ask your Majesty to marry him."

"Oh?" His Majesty was a little confused, "Could it be that Anping fell in love with someone at that banquet?"

"It's not the son of the minister's family, but the person who presides over the lunar calendar at the beginning of the month. His name is Jiang Shen, and he's just an ordinary official."

"Ji Zi?" His Majesty looked at Fu Yan, as if he was a little regretful, "Anping doesn't want to think about it anymore. After all, such a person is worthy of you, and he is indeed a high achiever."

"Anping has thought it through very clearly." Su Changle pursed his lips, as if he was very reluctant, "The ministers in the court all know that after Princess Shang, she will not be able to enter the court as an official. We are all ambitious people in the court.

A good man, Anping is just a little girl who relies on His Majesty's favor to be able to do this, so Anping doesn't dare to delay them."

Su Changle said, looked at Fu Yan, and said aggrievedly: "Especially for a young master like Mr. Xiao Fu, Anping will not dare to delay..."

Especially, someone like Mr. Xiao Fu.

The rejection was already obvious.

"That's it..." His Majesty listened to Su Changle's words, feeling a little pity, "Let me think about it again if you wish to marry me. Fu Yan, your aunt told me your thoughts today, and I already know it."

His Majesty looked at Fu Yan and said, "You should also think about it carefully."

Even if Su Changle didn't know what Concubine Yue said, he could guess that she must have turned a deaf ear to His Majesty.

Since Concubine Yue is pressuring her so hard, if she doesn't confess again, Your Majesty may really grant the marriage.

Seeing that there was no way to talk about this matter, His Majesty simply used the excuse of being tired and waved his hands to let the two of them think about it.

His Majesty looked at the backs of the two people and frowned.

Eunuch Xu bent down and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured this time. The Princess does not seem to like Mr. Xiao Fu at all. Concubine Yue can be quiet for a while."

Upon hearing the words Yue Guifei, His Majesty raised his hand and pressed his head.

Concubine Yue has been talking too much in his ears recently, especially about Fu Yan's marriage.

"Do you think these young people would really give up the power they have at their fingertips just because of the word 'like'?"

Eunuch Xu shook his head and poured a cup of tea for His Majesty: "How can this old slave understand the thoughts of these young people?"

"These young people..."

His Majesty sighed: "You are so young and powerful."

"I wonder if they will regret the decisions they made when they were young when they are old..."

--

After leaving Changji Hall, Su Changle took a deep breath.

so close!

Fu Yan saw that Su Changle was so happy and his steps were much more relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask: "The princess seemed very nervous just now?"

"It doesn't count." Su Changle turned around. She looked at Fu Yan, a little confused, "Actually, I don't understand. Why does Mr. Fu insist on marrying me?"

Fu Yang was about to speak, but Su Changle blocked his words: "Master Fu, please don't say anything about liking me. There are so many people in the court who like me, but no one is willing to do anything for me."

The Lord gave up his official career, and you..."

"This princess really doesn't understand."

"Princess Princess, you might as well think about it, what if the official really likes Princess Princess." Fu Yan said coldly.

"A great future and long love between children, Mr. Fu, if I were to choose, I would probably know how to choose, but if that is really the case..." Su Changle looked at Fu Yan and smiled, "

Mr. Xiao Fu is really a sweetheart."

--

After Su Changle entered the palace, Jiang Shen waited quietly for Su Changle in the car.

When it was completely dark, the coachman came in and lit the lamp in the carriage: "The princess may have to wait for a long time to enter the palace. If the young master feels bored, there are books in this carriage for the young master's entertainment."

The coachman has followed Su Changle for many years, so of course he knows what Su Changle is thinking.

Now everyone sees Su Changle's attitude towards Jiang Shen.

Everyone knows in their hearts that even if Jiang Shen disagrees now, there is a high probability that he will eventually become the master of the princess mansion.

Jiang Shen nodded, reached out and pinched a piece of pastry that Su Changle took out for him before leaving.

The sweet and glutinous pastry melted on the tip of the tongue with a slight sip.

A sweet taste fills your mouth.

Jiang Shen felt that the taste of this little girl Su Changle was a bit strange: she liked sweet things, but she didn't like things that were too sweet. A slightly sweet taste was best.

So even the place where she was was filled with this sweet fragrance.

Jiang Shen originally had no interest in pastries, but thinking about Su Changle, he still finished the pastries in his hand bit by bit.

Then, he took another cup of tea and suppressed the taste in his mouth.

"Excuse me, I'd like to go and take a walk around the area. The car is a bit boring." Jiang Shen said to the coachman.

Ah Zhu followed Su Changle into the palace, and now only Jiang Shen and the coachman were waiting outside.

"Master, be careful, the princess may be back soon."

"good."

Jiang Shen got off the carriage and slowly walked around the base of the imperial city wall. He looked up at the palace wall and felt that it seemed to be higher than the sky.

I don't know what Su Changle is doing in this high wall now.

And at this time...

Right next to the wall, there were several masked men in black clothes, waiting for an opportunity.

"Is this the person you're talking about?"

"That's right, it's him. The young master said that as long as he is alone, he can't alert the princess, so he finally waited for such an opportunity."

"Should we wait until he is alone before taking action?"

"I can't wait any longer. Let's do it now. The young master said that he must be dealt with neatly before tonight. When the brothers finish him off, the princess will probably not even look at him again."

"Then come on!"

--

"Then that's it for today. Mr. Fu, please go slowly. I, the princess, have to go back for dinner."

Su Changle walked to the palace gate, looked at the carriage waiting for him outside, and thought about Jiang Shen waiting inside, and even his tone couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Fu Yan looked at Su Changle: "Why doesn't the princess invite the lower officials to eat together?"

"That's not necessary. I think Mr. Xiao Fu has already left food for Mr. Xiao Fu at his home, so I won't invite Mr. Xiao Fu."

"That's fine, then Princess, be careful when you go back."

"The same to you."

Su Changle finally escaped from the "concerns" that Fu Yan and Fu Yan kept going back and forth.

"Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen!" Su Changle jogged back all the way. In such a cold day, a slight sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Are you hungry? Let's go eat quickly. I'm going to starve to death!"

Su Changle ran over, but there was no movement inside the carriage.

Su Changle was confused: "Where is Jiang Shen?"

"Young Master said the car was a little boring, so he went over there for a walk."

"There's no one there." Su Changle took a look and said, "Go find Jiang Shen and ask him to come back quickly. I'm going to starve to death."

"Yes, Princess, wait a moment."

Su Changle nodded, got in the car first, took some pastries and ate two pieces before suppressing the growling sound in his stomach.

Azhu looked at Su Changle and advised: "Princess, eat slowly."

"I'm so hungry." Su Changle said, stuffing another piece into his mouth, "Azhu, you don't know how scary it was in Changji Hall just now."

But before Su Changle and Ah Zhu could elaborate, the coachman ran back panting and said to Su Changle: "Princess, Master Jiang Shen is missing."

"Gone?" Su Changle suddenly felt something was wrong.

She just said Jiang Shen's name in the palace, and now he has disappeared. Could it be that those people acted so quickly?

Did Fu Yan think Jiang Shen was blocking his way?

Or someone else?

Su Changle quickly calmed down, she took a breath and said to the coachman: "Let's go back home first and find Huaichuan."

--

Jiang Shen also felt strange.

He had only been in Beijing for more than three months, so why was he being stared at like this?

Jiang Shen had been thinking about this issue when he was tied up with a sack on his head.

He wanted to find out who was chasing him so hard.

First of all, you must follow these people obediently.

Jiang Shen was carried by someone, and they walked no matter how far they walked. The people finally put him down out of breath.

"This man is really serious. Isn't he a scholar?"

"Who knows, let's deal with it first."

As he said this, Jiang Shen was thrown to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shen's eyes lit up as he fell to the ground, and the sack covering his head was lifted off.

Jiang Shen calmed down. He looked at the three men in black in front of him, as if he was a little confused: "I have offended some big brothers, and I want to tie me here..."

"Little brother, you have offended the nobles, so I have been ordered to deal with you. Don't blame us."

Jiang Shen didn't understand. Then he saw a man in black showing a special knife from his hand.

Immediately, two other people stepped forward, one held Jiang Shen's hands, and the other held his legs.

Jiang Shen panicked and said, "What are you doing?"

"Don't be afraid, little brother, this thing will pass as soon as you close your eyes. It won't be too late for you to repay your parents in the next life." As he said that, the man in black with the knife stepped forward and reached out to peel off Jiang Shen's pants.

Jiang Shen began to struggle.

"Don't move! This is your first time doing this, so be careful not to make yourself unhappy!"

The man in black spoke harshly and gestured with a knife, not knowing where to start.

He muttered: "This job is really dirty, it's not as easy as killing someone."

"Actually, I feel the same way..."

Jiang Shen began to stop struggling, but the two men in black who were holding his hands and feet slowly began to wail.

They wailed first, then watched helplessly as their bodies began to fester, and finally blood began to flow from their eyes and noses.

Just by looking at them, I could tell how much pain those two people were feeling.

But……

Jiang Shen was smiling faintly.

There was no sound, but everyone could tell that he was smiling.

There was a "clang" sound, and the man in black holding the knife suddenly softened upon seeing this.

He threw the knife away, looked at the man in front of him who was dressed in coarse white clothes and had a smile on his face, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare your life!"

"Oh?" Jiang Shen stood up from the ground and picked up the knife that the man in black just threw on the ground.

Under the moonlight, the special knife reflected silver light, and the cold light shone on Jiang Shen's face.
