A dream ends life

At this time, Su Ci also felt like he was in dire straits.

Everything was fine originally. Seeing Shi Yuyan become a prisoner, I was in a very good mood.

I sighed in my heart, people should not get carried away by success, otherwise this would cause trouble.

Looking at Xiao Che sitting opposite him, this was the only thought in Su Ci's mind.

Xiao Che lowered his eyes, stroking the teacup in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Ci didn't dare to do anything when he was left out in the cold. He made up his mind that he would not move unless the enemy did.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was suffocating. Chunshui had thought so before. Prince Jia was a god-like figure right in front of her, but she just felt the oppression was too great, so great that she almost held her breath.

Seeing her at a loss, Su Ci said softly, "Chun Shui, I'm a little hungry. Go buy me some food."

Chunshui was a little worried about Su Ci facing this huge iceberg alone.

Su Ci gave her a reassuring look and she slowly walked out of the room. It was not that she was scared, she just really couldn't bear it anymore!

By the way, is Prince Jia in a bad mood? Why is he so scary?

After Chunshui left, the room returned to silence.

Xiao Che and Su Ci were silent as they each drank the tea in their hands. Su Ci knew that today's test would be difficult, so she just gave in. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, she wouldn't be the one who was embarrassed.

Xiao Che slowly finished a cup of tea before looking at Su Ci.

Su Ci silently picked up the teapot and filled it with water. Her face was full of respect.

Xiao Che's deep, magnetic voice only uttered a sneer.

Su Ci paused as he was pouring tea, and his heart beat faster.

"You have nothing to say to me?" Xiao Che said.

Su Ci lowered her head slightly and said seriously, "I am guilty of insulting the Empress Dowager. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Che looked at her, his eyes devoid of emotion.

Su Ci then continued, "I shouldn't use the name of the Grand Empress Dowager to achieve my own goals, but I do show my filial piety to her. I designed the jewelry myself and wanted to make it for her to congratulate her on her 66th birthday."

Xiao Che asked indifferently, "Have you met the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Su Ci shook his head and met Xiao Che's gaze without any panic or opportunistic behavior.

"Prince Jia saved my life, and I have no way to repay him. I just want to do something for him to repay you."

The Grand Empress Dowager is Xiao Che's biological mother. For a man like Xiao Che who has no desires or demands, the Grand Empress Dowager is undoubtedly his only concern. Su Ci wanted to repay his mother for the life-saving grace that Xiao Che did not take seriously.

Although there were some selfish motives of her own mixed in, it was true that she wanted to deal with the Shi family, and it was also true that she wanted to make a unique headdress for the Empress Dowager.

Su Ci didn't think she did anything wrong, but in front of the supreme imperial power, she was wrong and guilty, and she admitted it readily.

"Thank you for saving my life?" Xiao Che's voice rang out.

"You can't repay me for saving your life? Shouldn't you repay me with your body? But you gave it to the Grand Empress Dowager, and you took advantage of her thoroughly. You really didn't lose out."

Su Ci slowly stood up, walked to the table and knelt down, "I admit my guilt."

Su Ci automatically thought that Xiao Che's first sentence was a mockery from Prince Jia, and that the latter part was what Xiao Che wanted to say.

Although she had carried out the plan only after obtaining the consent of the Grand Princess, the person involved had come to her door, and she was indeed in the wrong, so she had to bow her head.

This was an era where imperial power was supreme, and all matters concerning the Tian family were major events. To be honest, she was too confident, thinking that the Grand Princess would definitely inform Xiao Che.

At the same time, he also sounded the alarm in his heart. No matter how good Prince Jia's temper is, he is still a member of the royal family, and his inherent arrogance cannot be questioned.

She was careless.

I looked down on others and overestimated myself. Never again, never again.

Seeing her kneeling at his feet with her head bowed humbly, Xiao Che frowned, and an indescribable emotion flashed through his heart.

He felt a little choked up, a little angry, and inexplicably bitter. Several emotions intertwined and flashed by, so fast that he didn't even have time to figure out what they were before they disappeared.

Did he come here just to see her kneel down and beg for mercy? He himself didn't understand.

His fingers trembled slightly, his eyes flickered, "Get up! Since it is a birthday gift for the Grand Empress Dowager, you should prepare it well. I also want to see what kind of headgear you think can win the Grand Empress Dowager's favor."

Su Ci said: "I will work hard to make it and let His Majesty review it."

Rather than saying it was a gift to the Grand Empress Dowager, it would be more accurate to say it was a gift to Xiao Che. After all, she had never met the Grand Empress Dowager, and the fact that she thought of making the hooded noodles was because she didn't know how to repay Xiao Che.

Xiao Che tapped the table with his slender fingers. Su Ci understood and quickly picked up the teapot to continue filling his cup.

Since Xiao Che refused to leave, Su Ci had no choice but to stay with him, and the two began to drink tea again.

His stomach was full of water, and Su Ci really didn't want to drink any more. But seeing Xiao Che still sipping the tea slowly, he didn't know what to say, so he could only sip it bit by bit.

"You can't go in, my wife doesn't want to see you!" Chunshui's voice sounded outside the door.

Then came the sound of fighting. Su Ci guessed that it might be directed at her. She glanced at Xiao Che, stood up and walked towards the door.

The door was pushed open, and Yu Luo stood outside with a cold face, his eyes fixed on Su Ci with anger in them.

Behind him is Chunshui, and beside Xiao Che is He Wei.

Chunshui was furious, He Wei was standing there just waiting for his master's orders. He didn't expect Yu Luohan's martial arts to be so high, he was no match for him.

Yu Luohan looked at Su Ci angrily, "No wonder you didn't want to go home with me, it turns out you have a new love! Su Ci, you disappoint me so much."

Su Ci looked at him calmly, with mockery in his eyes: "Don't use your own character to judge others. Not everyone is as shameless as you!"

There was some bloodshot in Yu Luohan's eyes, and he looked at Su Ci as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her up.

"Come home with me. I won't hold it against you for what happened today. Let's start over."

Su Ci felt a little nauseous, not sure if it was because of Yu Luohan's words or because he drank too much water.

I never knew that Yu Luohan could be so shameless! He really set a new record for scumbag men.

"The Grand Tutor has a beautiful concubine at home and a confidante outside, and yet you tell me to start over. It's such a joke! Yu Luohan, when you said this, have you ever thought that your sweetheart would be sad?"

Yu Luohan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Ah Ci! Stop messing with me. My patience has its limits. Come home with me and let the past be wiped out."

Just as he raised his hand to pull Su Ci, he heard a sound of breaking air.

Yu Luohan took his hand back, and there was a candied fruit in his hand.

Looking at the instigator, the emotions in his eyes were murky and unclear: "Please don't interfere in the affairs between us, Your Majesty."

Xiao Che raised his eyes and looked at him, his clear and calm eyes revealing the aura that only a superior could have.

"Husband and wife? Are you husband and wife?"

Xiao Che's light words were like a slap in Yu Luohan's face, causing a burning pain.
