Qu Le found that Su Yue didn't seem to like talking, especially when outsiders were present. She would not speak. Take the incident of going to the inn to book a room last night as an example. Qu Le was the one talking to the inn clerk the whole time.
Suyue stood by silently all the time, and only when it was time to pay did she silently hand her purse to Qule.
Is it because of her appearance? Qu Le couldn't help but look at her twice. Today she had taken off her big cloak, revealing her full face. She looked taller than expected, and her shoulders were longer than those of ordinary women.
It was much wider, and she was wearing simple and plain clothes of coarse cloth, so there was no trace of the feminine charm unique to women in her whole body.
If it were placed in the Western Regions or Central Europe, the men there might like women like Su Yue very much, but this is in the Central Plains. Most Han men like petite and cute women, and Su Yue seems to be less harmonious in their eyes.
.
She was discriminated against because of her appearance, which left an indelible psychological scar. From then on, she became taciturn and did not like to communicate with others... Logically speaking, there should be no problem with this speculation. Qu Le touched his chin.
They went downstairs to have breakfast, and the task of ordering food from the waiter fell on Qu Le. Su Yue was only responsible for paying and eating throughout the process.
Qu Le said that although Suyue looked a little awkward, she was unexpectedly handsome when paying money.
After breakfast, Qule asked: "What are your plans next?"
"Looking for someone," Suyue raised her hand and stretched it towards her cheek.
Qu Le subconsciously hid back, Su Yue's hand paused in mid-air, and then slowly put it down. I don't know if it was Qu Le's illusion, but she actually vaguely saw a little loss in Su Yue's eyes. Before she could wait, she
Looking more closely, Suyue returned to her expressionless and indifferent look.
Suyue said: "You have a grain of rice on your lips."
"Oh," Qu Le reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, and sure enough she touched a fat white grain of rice. This should have been accidentally touched by her while drinking porridge. It turned out that Su Yue was trying to help her take away the grain of rice.
She was so scared that she thought Suyue was going to do something to her.
What a fuss! Qu Le complained to herself in her heart. She smiled at Su Yue, but Su Yue remained expressionless.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food casually, Qule threw the rice grains into his mouth and chewed it.
Seeing her being so "informal", Suyue not only twitched the corner of her mouth.
Qu Le: "I also want to find someone. Two of my friends were kidnapped by people from Prince Yu's Mansion. I have to rescue them."
Suyue frowned slightly: "Are you going to break into Prince Yu's Mansion?"
"Um."
Su Yue: "Only you?"
Qule nodded again.
Suyue seemed to disagree: "You are going to die."
Qu Le shook her chopsticks and tapped the mouth of the bowl, making a crisp dinging sound. She pouted dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, I haven't even started to take action yet, and you're here to curse me? Do you have any friends like you?"
"
"I'm worried about you. Prince Yu is a eccentric and unpredictable person. He does things based on his own mood. He won't show mercy to you just because you are a weak woman. In addition, Prince Yu's palace is heavily guarded. You are alone.
To break into Prince Yu's palace is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Suyue didn't like to talk, but at this moment she rarely said many words in one breath. It was obvious that she was really worried about Qule.
Qu Le grinned: "Don't worry, since I dare to break into Prince Yu's palace alone, I will naturally have a way to protect myself. Prince Yu can't hurt me."
"Since you can protect yourself, why were you chased around in Zuixiang Tower yesterday?"
Qu Le was choked, and she raised her voice to defend herself: "Last night was an accident. If there weren't so many people at that time, I could have used my secret trick, and they would have been unable to do anything to me!"
"Do you think there will be fewer people in Prince Yu's Mansion than in Zuixiang Tower?"
Suyue's words popped the bubbles that had formed on Qule's body.
Qu Le lowered her head and clasped her fingers, muttering in a low voice: "If you don't expose me, will you die?"
Suyue, whose hearing was so good that she accidentally heard the complaints, still looked at her expressionlessly and uttered two words very coldly: "I will die."
Qu Le: "..." Can the nests still play happily? Turn the table!
Su Yue said calmly: "I will go with you."
After being stunned for a moment, Qule's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Suyue looked at her expressionlessly, with no intention of repeating it again.
Qu Le didn't care at all about Su Yue's indifferent attitude. She ignored the surprised looks from the two tables next to her and stood up, lying on the table. She grabbed Su Yue's wrist tightly and asked excitedly: "Would you like to
Come with me to die... Bah! Are you willing to go with me to Prince Yu's Mansion to save people?"
Suyue looked at her shiny paws. They seemed to have grabbed the fried dough sticks just now. The most important thing was that she didn't wipe her hands after grabbing them! This greasy feeling was simply making people want to die. She did it without leaving a trace.
She opened the two dirty claws one by one, carefully wiped the oil stains on her fingers with a handkerchief, and nodded calmly.
Qu Le smiled in surprise and said: "Sister, you are so loyal!"
It was always more lively to have someone accompany him to his death than to die alone. Qu Le really fell in love with this tall girl who was willing to risk her life to accompany her friends!
Before taking action, Qu Le decided to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to explore the situation first, and then make plans to minimize the risk.
After all, she didn't really want to die.
They found out the location of Prince Yu's Mansion, and they left the inn together and headed to Prince Yu's Mansion.
The city of Seiya was still covered in ice and snow, and the cold wind was biting and hurting her face. Qu Le wrapped her cloak tightly and shrank her neck hard, wishing she could bury her whole head in the hood. Even so, she was still frozen.
She was trembling, but Su Yue beside her looked much more calm.
Seeing Su Yue walking in the wind and snow without changing her expression, Qu Le couldn't help but feel admiration. She sniffed and asked angrily: "Why do you want to help me?"
They met by chance, but she helped Qu Le again and again. Although Qu Le was grateful, he was also confused as to why she helped him.
Suyue took a slightly longer step and walked in front of her on the left, blocking most of the wind and snow for her. Suyue calmly replied: "You look very much like an old friend of mine."
Qu Le touched her cheek and asked half-jokingly: "Is it because I am a popular face?"
"……maybe."
Seeing that she neither admitted nor denied, Qu Le knew that she did not want to answer this question, so she wisely did not pursue it further.
King Xueyu has three sons. These three sons are all born to the queen, which are the so-called legitimate sons. Now King Xueyu is over sixty years old, but he has not yet established an heir to the throne, so he is born to the same mother.
The relationship between the three brothers gradually became a little delicate.
Among the three princes, the eldest prince occupies the position of the eldest son and is the object of support from the conservatives in the court. The third prince is the youngest, but is the most favored by King Xueyu. As for the second prince, King Yu, he has the least reputation in the court.
Well, especially those civil servants dislike him the most.
The reason is very simple, because the King of Yu is a martial artist and the one with the highest martial arts value among the three brothers. He once personally led an army to fight against enemy armies from other countries. His powerful martial arts made him invincible on the battlefield.
There were countless ghosts under his sword, so the enemy gave him the title of "Killer God".
Perhaps because he had killed too many people, the evil aura around King Yu became more and more intense, and others did not dare to approach him easily. Civil servants often used the excuse of his cruel temperament and lack of discipline to personally attack him. Whenever there was an opportunity, they would attack him personally.
To smear him in front of the Snow King, you must ensure that he is removed from the list of candidates for the throne.
It was such a prince who was deeply disliked by the civil servants, but he was unanimously supported by the generals. Now he is only in his twenties and has already taken control of an army of 300,000 in the snowy region.
Prince Yu's Mansion was built in the city close to the palace. The gate is tall and majestic, and the two large stone lions squatting at the door are even more powerful. This place is heavily guarded and ordinary people are not allowed to pass by, so when Qu Le and Su Yue appeared
When you are here, it becomes particularly conspicuous.
The guards guarding the entrance of the palace looked at the two of them, and one of the guards shouted sternly: "No one is allowed to enter this important place of the palace!"
Qu Le immediately raised her hands to show that she was harmless. She smiled flatteringly and said: "Hey, brother, don't worry, we two sisters are from other places. We have heard about King Yu's heroic deeds and are filled with yearning.
I just wanted to come outside Prince Yu’s Mansion to admire the heroic temperament of His Majesty’s residence. We’ll leave immediately after seeing it and we will definitely not cause any trouble to you.”
In order to avoid being recognized, most of Qu Le's face was covered by the hood, only a pair of black eyes were exposed, and he looked very smart.
The guard pointed his spear directly at the two of them, and cursed rudely: "This is Prince Yu's palace, how can you and other ordinary people come close to it at will? If you know what's going on, get out of here! Otherwise, you will be considered as trespassing on the royal palace's important territory.
I’ll arrest you two on these charges!”
When Qu Le heard that she was about to be arrested, instead of being afraid, Qu Le asked with expectation: "Are you going to catch us and lock us up in the palace?"
The guard's eyes showed disdain: "You have a beautiful idea!"
She thought she could take this opportunity to sneak into the palace, but she didn't expect that even if she was arrested, she wouldn't be going to the palace. Qu Le was very disappointed. She asked again: "Then where will we be imprisoned?"
The guard sneered: "The VIP room in the Yamen prison includes food and accommodation, and a set of handcuffs and footcuffs. Do you like it?"
Qu Le immediately stepped back and shook his head: "No, I don't like it."
The guard slammed the spear to the ground, making a crisp metal collision sound. He shouted angrily: "Then why don't you get out of here?"
Qu Le quickly grabbed Su Yue and ran away with her head in her arms.
Out of the sight of the guards, Qu Le pulled Su Yue around to the back door of the palace. She tried to push the door, but as expected, the back door was also locked.
What should we do now? Qule scratched his head in distress.
She raised her head and looked at the palace wall, which was more than a foot high, and sighed depressingly: "I wish I knew how to do Qinggong. I could fly in with just a swish..." (To be continued)
