After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Folk girls don't know."

"You, who were abandoned by the Su family, kidnapped, and called an unlucky person, were not accepted by his aunt, my virtuous concubine. Since my virtuous concubine did not agree, he asked me to grant you a marriage, so that you can marry him in style."

Emperor Shun smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "This is the first time I have seen him contradict his aunt."

"What do you think I should do? Promise him or not?"

Su Ruanruan suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent in Emperor Shun's eyes, and did not dare to answer rashly for a moment.

Since ancient times, emperors have been meticulous, suspicious and fickle. If they say something inappropriate, this place may become her burial place.

Ziwu had heard from Su Zhiping that Huo Yan commanded a large number of troops, was highly respected in the capital, and was the most valued military official by Emperor Shun. Because of his integrity and hatred of evil, Emperor Shun trusted him very much.

Su Ruanruan remembered that Huo Yan had blinded Chu Ran's eye, and her body suddenly stiffened. If Emperor Shun didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear today, she would definitely die, and Huo Yan would probably be suspected by the emperor.

Huo Yan was originally the sharpest knife in Emperor Shun's hand, but now this knife has gone astray. He tried to show off for a woman and was even reported to the Golden Palace by Prince Zhennan.

Emperor Shun had taught him a lesson, but he did not repent and was still determined to stand up for the same woman. Even though he knew that this woman was doomed to be a star of misfortune, he was still determined to marry her.

Huo Yan's insistence on doing things his own way made the suspicious emperor feel wary. What the emperor needed was a Huo Yan who would obey his orders, not one who might disobey his will.

The attitude of Concubine Xian actually represents the attitude of the emperor. Su Ruanruan couldn't help but think that Huo Yan was so stubborn. He knew that she wanted to leave him, but he still went to ask the emperor to grant her marriage. He really wouldn't turn back until he hit the wall!

If Emperor Shun did not allow Huo Yan to marry her, what would he do? Some things are like mirrors. Once cracked, they can never be restored to their original state.

Huo Yan is an upright person. He may be good at leading troops in battles, but he is only strong in strength and not in wisdom.

Especially a meritorious official like him who holds military power and has made great achievements is the object of the emperor's suspicion.

In the carriage, Emperor Shun's words were full of questions and suspicions, shooting straight into Su Ruanruan's heart like sharp arrows.

Su Ruanruan knew that her escape was too easy, so it was understandable that Emperor Shun had doubts. Perhaps Emperor Shun had secretly speculated that she had reached some kind of secret agreement with her captors, so he let her go so easily.

However, only Su Ruanruan herself knew that a poisonous insect had been planted in her body, and the person behind the scenes captured her just for fun.

Thinking of the past when she was captured was like a bitter fruit, buried deep in Su Ruanruan's heart. She knew very well that even if Emperor Shun knew these things, he would never have the slightest mercy on her.

Since ancient times, emperors have been cold and ruthless, even though she has half royal blood in her veins. Emperor Shun did not want to bear the bad reputation, he wanted to let Huo Yan understand that they always cherished each other as monarch and subject.

If he granted the marriage, she would have no choice but to marry. If he did not allow it, the emperor and his subjects would be distracted and it would be detrimental to the country. Therefore, Emperor Shun threw this difficult problem to her.

If she couldn't think of a way to stop Huo Yan from thinking about it, she would probably die in this freezing cold water cave today.

Anyway, the enemy who took her away that day has not been found, so it is not impossible to frame him.

"Your Majesty, I became General Huo's concubine only to protect myself. Now that I know that Miss Fu and he have been childhood sweethearts, I don't want to get entangled with her. I will do everything I can to make General Huo give up. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Please rest assured?" Emperor Shun narrowed his eyes, "Do you know that I won't allow you to marry him?"

Su Ruanruan knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't try to guess your Majesty's intentions without permission. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

Su Ruanruan naturally would not say what she was thinking just now, and only said, "I am the one who is doomed to be alone as the master said."

"General Huo is the peace tiger that Dashun used to protect the border. I was ignorant before, so I approached him."

"Now, I know that I am in bad luck, so I can no longer be his bedmate. I can't bear to see General Huo suffer an unexpected fate, nor do I want to become the sinner of Great Shun."

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of Great Shun, must hope that Great Shun's national fortune will prosper for thousands of years, like the bright moon shining brightly on the mountains and rivers."

"I dare to speculate that Your Majesty does not want me, his nemesis, to be around."

Emperor Shun's eyes were as dark and bright as black jade, staring straight at Su Ruanruan, "Do you really think so?"

"Yes……"

Emperor Shun stood with his hands behind his back, was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Su Ruanruan, you are very smart! I really like you as my niece."

"Although the Su family doesn't recognize you, you are of royal blood anyway."

"What do you want?" asked Emperor Shun.

Su Ruanruan thought for a moment, "I want status and position!"

Emperor Shun stroked the ring on his finger and said calmly, "You are ambitious."

Su Ruanruan said in fear, "I have a miserable life, I have gone through many hardships, I know the pain of being bullied and trampled on, I don't want to live a humble life anymore, and I don't want to have to face other people's faces."

"Well, I will be recuperating at the hot spring villa in the near future and will not see Huo Yan. I will only give you three days. If you can show me a satisfactory result after three days, I will naturally not treat you unfairly and will grant you everything you desire."

"But...if you mess up, I won't mind letting you feel the biting cold again."

"Have you met me today?"

Su Ruanruan replied: "I have never had the honor of seeing the face of God."

When Su Ruanruan returned to the dilapidated temple, Ziwu had been waiting there for a long time.

"How's it going? Are you going back?"

"I heard that General Huo went to the palace to meet His Majesty in the morning, and then went directly to the camp outside the city without returning to his residence. I was not able to see him, but I have handed the purse to Miss Fu in his residence."

Su Ruanruan replied softly, "Just deliver it."

"Master," Zi Wu said evasively, "Miss Fu actually didn't want to accept it. She said it was General Huo's love, and she hoped you would stay to solve the urgent problem. She wanted to come with me to find you, but I declined."

"Miss Fu asked me to tell you that she apologizes to you for the evil deeds done by her brother."

Su Runruan recalled the scene she saw in the main hall of Fahua Temple that day. Fu Xinrou was as her name suggested, with a kind heart as pure as a lotus, and delicate and beautiful as a flower.

It was hard for her to involve her in the hatred she felt for her brother.

When Su Ruanruan just returned to the ruined temple, she caught a glimpse of a notice posted on the bulletin board that all the male members of the Fu family would be beheaded tomorrow.

I guess Fu Xinrou has already known about it by now.

Zi Wu asked, "Master, shall we still rest here today?"

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly and it was very warm outside.
