"Oh, if I had known it would be so boring, I would have brought Lian'er here."
Su Qing looked at the little maids in her courtyard and sighed for the nth time.
The servants of the city lord's palace started to tremble as soon as they saw her, and they didn't even dare to say anything to her. She was really suffocated to death.
Moreover, she is not ugly, and she is not someone who likes to find trouble. Why are everyone so afraid of her?
Su Qing felt that sitting like this was not an option, so she had someone prepare a set of men's clothes, and she decided to go shopping on the street.
Su Qing used Qinggong and reached the outside of the house in a few jumps.
There is an atmosphere of harmony and tranquility everywhere in Anle City, and the cries of vendors can be heard from time to time.
The shops on the street were open and people were coming and going, making it very lively.
It seemed that the fight for the position of city lord did not affect the people in the city. Su Qing couldn't help but admire Xiao Cheng a little.
Xiao Cheng protected them very well. If there had not been that civil strife, his family would still be alive.
If he had never harbored hatred and never met her, Xiao Cheng would have been a very good city lord.
Su Qing opened the folding fan and walked around Anle City, feeling the tranquility of this moment.
But God was not kind to her, and a sudden downpour forced her to hide under the eaves.
Even so, there will still be rain.
An umbrella suddenly appeared above her head to protect her from the wind and rain.
As soon as Su Qing raised her head, she looked into Bai Liyu's deep, whirlpool-like eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
"Have you seen enough?"
Bailiyu lowered his head and asked her, with a smile in his eyes.
Su Qing listened to the male voice in her ears and suddenly felt a sense of lust coming over her, making the tips of her ears turn red.
A different kind of emotion arose in my heart, and my heart beat even faster, as if it was about to burst out of my chest.
Su Qing frowned, what's wrong with her? Why does she feel like this? Could it be that her heart is moved?
"You...what are you going to do? Don't...don't come here." Bai Liyu took a step forward, and Su Qing took a step back. She looked at him warily.
Although Bailiyu is handsome, rich, and a prince, he never said he liked her.
But she was afraid that she would be tempted by his various ways. What she wanted was to be with him for the rest of her life.
She is afraid of losing the bet, so she is wary of any man who wants to cross the wall of her heart.
"Don't move." Bailiyu held her slender waist and hugged her into his arms.
He drew out the soft sword from his waist and struck at the assassin behind Su Qing.
Then more than a dozen assassins descended from the sky and surrounded them.
In an instant, swords and swords flashed, flesh and blood flew, and the rain mixed with blood, mixed into blood and flowed everywhere.
In his ears, there were constant sounds of the clash of swords, the sound of cold weapons sinking into flesh, and the screams of assassins.
Su Qing's head was held in Baili Yu's arms, and the tip of her nose was filled with the scent of cold plums on his body, which was cold and aloof.
The sound in her ears gradually disappeared. Su Qing wanted to raise her head but was pushed back into his arms.
"I'll scare you." His voice was as gentle as jade, and the tenderness in his words was about to overflow.
Su Qing broke away from his arms and pushed him away, "That's enough. If you don't like me, don't have an affair with me. You saved me this time and we are even."
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
"I……"
Bailiyu looked at her back, opened his mouth, and said nothing.
He seemed to have always thought she was more interesting, and that's why he wanted to marry her into the palace. He didn't seem to say that he liked her.
But he always wants to see her, hear news about her, and worries about her all the time. What kind of emotion is this?
When Su Qing returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she locked herself in the room, took a deep breath, and calmed down her already turbulent heart.
She doesn't know if she is attracted to Baili Yu, but she knows what kind of life she wants.
If he was with him for the purpose of repaying his kindness, then he was only doing it to repay his kindness.
If one day the person he really likes appears, he will abandon himself.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to make it clear from the beginning to avoid her having random thoughts.
The education he received since childhood was to have three wives and four concubines, and her ideas were incompatible with this world.
Bailiyu is from this world after all, so even if she is tempted, it will be fruitless.
"Hey, Su Qing, you are not a sad person. In the future, you will be the one who wants to dominate the world and dominate one area."
Su Qing muttered to herself, cleared up her mood, put on a smile again, and devoted herself to her powerful cause.
…
Pingnan Palace of the Ming Dynasty
With a bang, the tea cup was thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Trash, so many people can't kill her, what use do I need from you?"
The dead soldier kneeling on the ground silently endured King Pingnan's anger.
You can't blame them for this. He was about to succeed. Who knew Su Qing had so many experts protecting him.
King Pingnan was facing the dead man and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
No matter how angry he is now, Su Qing is still alive.
It didn't matter that she was protected by Baili Yu in the capital, but when she finally left the city, there was a shadow tower protecting her on the road, and all the soldiers he sent to die were killed.
If it hadn't been for the news from Anle City's spies, he wouldn't have even known that Su Qing was already involved with Anle City.
"My king's birthday banquet next month is the last chance. If you fail, please come and see me."
King Pingnan dropped these words and left.
Today in the court hall, good news came from the border. The war between the Ming Kingdom and the Donglan Kingdom has ended.
The Ming army has won, and Su Changyun will return to the court in another month.
Su Changyun had been named Lord Protector two years ago. Once he comes back, the Su family will have a backer, and it will be even more difficult to touch Su Qing by then.
The Su Mansion is full of people from the Shadow Tower, and not even a fly can fly in.
Even when people from the mansion come out, they are always surrounded by experts.
As for the two twins, they stayed in the academy and never came out.
Even when Xiu Mu returned to the Su Mansion, he was accompanied by masters.
He couldn't understand how a girl who grew up in the countryside could have such great abilities.
If he hadn't found out the whereabouts of the widower a while ago and killed him, Prince Pingnan's palace would have been exposed.
No matter what, Su Qing is always a variable, a variable that can destroy his Pingnan Palace.
