"You... how are you here?!" She stared at him with her round eyes, disbelief written all over her face.
Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, propping himself up with one hand, and an overwhelming pressure immediately descended upon Su Peijiu: "It seems you've forgotten everything."
"What have I forgotten?" She breathed cautiously.
The man smiled slyly, then his expression turned serious as he spoke: "You slept with me, right here on this couch!"
Su Peijiu: ...
She extended a finger to poke his forehead and pushed him back. "You've slept with This King so many times; what's wrong with This King sleeping with you once? Move aside—!"
Qi Mo was surprisingly pushed aside, watching her calmly tidy her clothes before turning her back to him and standing in front of the couch: "From now on, Desolate King needs to change the habit of climbing onto people's couches; otherwise, This King wouldn't mind putting some animals on the couch..."
"Like what?"
"Scorpions, snakes, centipedes..."
"The most poisonous woman!"
"Mutual understanding..." Su Peijiu turned slightly, her expression disdainful: "Desolate King has skin as thick as a city wall; these things are no match for you."
Qi Mo could not deny it, shrugging as he sat up.
Su Peijiu clapped her hands, and a shadow immediately flashed outside the window. Under Qi Mo's subtle gaze, she said, "Call a few people to help This King take apart this bed!"
......
What role does Qi Mo play for Su Peijiu? Even with national grievances and family hatred between them, she still finds it hard to suppress the feminine side that emerges in front of him. It seems that only when facing him can she be her true self, without a mask, without calculations or schemes.
Just when everyone was busy and overwhelmed with the matter of the Emissary, something unexpected happened to Su Peijiu.
"You mean Su Xingyan risked his life to save the day, and now he is to be titled as Princess?" When Su Peijiu received this news, she was in Ruyi Tower preparing for a purchase, and in her distraction, the jade stone in her hand fell and shattered on the ground.
Black Crow stood aside, looking at the crushed jade on the floor, grinning mischievously: "Yes."
"How is... Your Majesty now?"
"Startled. He is resting at Joyful Pavilion, two streets away from here."
Su Peijiu snorted coldly and walked downstairs: "Find out who the assassin was and their background."
"There were no survivors at the scene; everyone was dealt with by Jinyiwei, so there are no leads to investigate."
"What a good method; I must say I admire this sister." She mounted her horse, squeezed her legs together, and galloped away, with Black Crow closely following.
From a distance, they could see that the entire street was tightly guarded by Jinyiwei. After showing their badges, they were allowed to enter. Bloodstains still remained on the ground. Su Peijiu frowned and walked toward the building. The floor was still crowded with Jinyiwei and ministers, who bowed to her upon seeing her arrival.
"How is His Majesty?" she asked.
Just then, Lord Zhang stood at the bottom of the stairs and saw Su Peijiu. He said with a fawning expression: "His Majesty was a bit startled, but thankfully Miss Xingyan was there; he is much better now."
Su Peijiu coldly huffed as she looked at everyone: "Why was no one notified when His Majesty left the palace? And what are you Jinyiwei doing? What happened with the assassin? If anything happens to His Majesty, who among you can take responsibility? Also..."
"Prince Ping'an, His Majesty requests you to come up," a eunuch called from upstairs. Su Peijiu stopped speaking and looked up. The face was ordinary to the extreme, yet there was a peculiar aura about him.
This was Jun Ye Su's favored one: Hong Hairen!
Su Peijiu responded with an "mm," withdrew her gaze, and walked upstairs. Hong Hairen reached out to lift the curtain in front of her. "The prince invites you."
"Thank you, Lord Hong." Su Peijiu nodded and walked towards the noodles.
As soon as she entered, she saw Su Xingyan in a pink outfit smiling sweetly beside Jun Ye Su's chair, causing her heart to skip a beat.
"...Sister, I hope you have been well." Before Su Peijiu could speak, she saw the figure in pink walking towards her.
Su Peijiu stood there and slightly bowed to Jun Ye Su: "It is truly fortunate that Your Majesty is unharmed. This King has already instructed his subordinates to investigate; we will certainly capture this malicious person!" She completely ignored Su Xingyan's words.
Jun Ye Su's lips turned pale as he nodded with a light smile: "I appreciate your efforts, Prince Ping'an."
"This is my duty. Your Majesty is the pillar of the Crimson Kingdom; nothing must happen to you." She increasingly realized that she was quite skilled at flattery, and there was no need to draft any lies.
"Prince Ping'an is very considerate..." Jun Ye Su coughed lightly and then gestured towards Su Xingyan: "This lady is the one who saved me. I hear she has some connections with Prince Ping'an, and I intend to grant her the title of Princess..."
Su Peijiu stood there listening to Jun Ye Su finish his rambling, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her watery eyes. Did he think he had grown wings now? Did Jun Ye Su not know the suffering she endured in the Su Family?
Princess? ...Using Su Xingyan to suppress her was rather overestimating oneself, wasn't it?
"Sister, it's been a long time. I heard you've become a prince in the Crimson Kingdom, so I specially came to seek refuge. However... it seems you don't really want to see your sister..." The beauty holding a handkerchief looked pitiful indeed, but if the target was also a woman, it seemed somewhat pretentious.
Su Peijiu straightened her back, casting a sidelong glance at Su Xingyan before looking at Jun Ye Su with confusion: "Uncle, it seems my poor mother only gave birth to me and has no other daughters."
Jun Ye Su certainly understood that Su Peijiu was warning him. In fact, encountering an assassin today along with Su Xingyan was truly unexpected, but after seeing Su Xingyan, he had another idea.
"Peace be upon you; Aunt indeed only gave birth to you, without question."
He wanted to see how Su Peijiu would treat members of the Su Family... If she truly showed no affection at all, then he would have to guard himself against her in the future.
Su Peijiu suppressed the urge to slap the pretentious Su Xingyan aside and smiled elegantly: "So... this young lady, please do not casually claim relatives."
Su Xingyan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jun Ye Su with a pitiful expression: "Your Majesty... I came to Chang'an just to find my sister, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation."
Jun Ye Su was about to speak when Su Peijiu interrupted: "This King has a question for Your Majesty."
"Prince Ping'an, please."
"Does Your Majesty truly intend to grant this woman the title of Princess?"
Jun Ye Su's expression remained calm: "Does Ping'an feel that this is somewhat inappropriate?"
Su Peijiu shook her head: "Not at all. This King thinks Your Majesty's decision is very wise. A brave woman who can save Your Majesty in public deserves the title of Princess." She smirked and leaned back slightly: "Since Your Majesty is fine now, This King will arrange for my subordinates to escort you back to the palace."
Without waiting for Jun Ye Su to respond, Su Peijiu clapped her hands, and several masked members of Nan Xie Tower appeared at the door.
"You all must guarantee with your lives that you will safely escort His Majesty back to the palace, understood?!"
"Yes!"
Su Peijiu smiled faintly and gestured: "Your Majesty, please return to the palace. This King will take care of the matters below." Once Jun Ye Su left with a pale face, she leisurely sat down in a chair and looked at the stiff Su Xingyan in front of her.
"Sit down, Sister Su." She pointed to the chair opposite her.
Su Xingyan sat down uncomfortably: "What do you want?"
Su Peijiu rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat unorthodox in women's clothing. "Did you not call This King your sister? Why is it so unfamiliar after Your Majesty has left?"
"Isn't it because the prince has always wanted to distance himself from our relationship?"
"So what? Are you planning to leave Chang'an and disappear just because This King wants to distance ourselves?"
Su Xingyan covered her mouth and smiled for a moment, then became serious: "Of course not."
Upon hearing this news, Su Peijiu was not angry. She brushed off the dust from her clothes: "I'll just say this, since I was able to kill you once, I can do it two, three, four, or five times! I don't believe anyone can always be so miraculous as to save you every time!"
Her voice was soft but seemed to come from hell, carrying a chilling aura that left Su Xingyan stunned.
Then Su Peijiu stood up: "Take care of yourselves and try not to appear in front of This King. Otherwise... This King is not sure what might happen." Her Water Eyes swept over with disdain: "Just like what you did to This King back in the day."
When Su Peijiu exited Joyful Pavilion, the crowd outside was still bustling. She glanced over and said lightly: "Everyone disperse."
"What about His Majesty?" someone asked.
She looked over: "Does His Majesty's whereabouts need to be reported to you? With This King here, everyone disperse!"
Lord Zhang squeezed next to Su Peijiu: "Your Highness... heh heh..."
"Get lost!"
Lord Zhang: "..."
Upstairs, the previously gentle Su Xingyan had her legs crossed on the chair, lazily touching her cheek with her hand painted in bright red nail polish.
A person emerged from the shadows, wrapping their arms around her neck from behind, breathing warm air against her nape: "How is it?"
"Prince Ping'an is indeed difficult to deal with and acts recklessly without caring about others' opinions. If I had said something too extreme just now, I believe even in front of the Emperor, she would have definitely stabbed me with the knife hidden in her sleeve."
"Very tricky?"
"…If my master finds her troublesome, how could you not?" Su Xingyan pushed her head aside: "I'm really curious about what weaknesses she has..."
"Looks like this Prince Ping'an is quite interesting." The man tilted his head, a strong interest evident on his ordinary face.
Su Xingyan noticed his change and quickly pushed him, saying, "You better keep those thoughts to yourself; he's someone important."
"I know, I know..." Although he said he understood, a glint of intrigue in his eyes proved otherwise.
...
"Master of the Building, the horse is gone." Black Crow stood at the corner with disheveled hair, waiting for her. "It ran off with someone."
"Then let's walk back." Su Peijiu's lips twitched as she walked ahead.
Black Crow grinned, showing his white teeth. "I just love a master who can endure hardships." He followed her.
Just as they reached the corner, she was nearly knocked over by a beggar. As she steadied herself, she saw the beggar lowering his head, timidly trying to escape from the side.
Su Peijiu narrowed her eyes. "Stop right there."
