That night, Su Qi slept the most soundly in the past few days. The corners of her mouth were filled with a smile. It was a blissful night.
However, Xiao Chengzhe did not sleep the entire night while hugging Suqi.
February arrived as scheduled. At that time, the snowflakes were no longer floating in the air, and the silver-white scenery of the past had gradually dissipated. The scenery that had once been covered by the university was now slowly recovering its original appearance.
Su Qi sat in the palanquin sent by the imperial palace. She could feel that she was getting closer and closer to that place. At this moment, her heart was ice-cold. She recalled the news that Gu Yan had brought to her three days before she entered the palace.
"Miss, I saw Premier Xiao at Mingyue Restaurant today.”Gu Yan's tone was filled with anger and confusion.
However, at this moment, Suqi did not hear it because she was still immersed in the illusory world that Xiao Chengzhe had given her. He said that he would ask the emperor for her.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be looking for him?”Yes, Xiao Chengzhe was the best partner. He had a keen sense of business opportunities that others could not surpass, as well as his ability to absorb new knowledge.
" No, we've already decided on our relationship yesterday. I met him today and I heard…I heard…" Gu Yan was suddenly at a loss for words. He knew that the young lady liked Xiao Chengzhe, and he liked the young lady. Yes, he liked her. He knew that he was not qualified to like her, but he was still attracted by her brilliance. He could only hope that she could be happy and see her smile from the bottom of her heart. But now, was he going to destroy it?
Su Qi frowned when she saw him stuttering." What happened? What did you hear? Could it be that he cheated on her?" As he spoke, he laughed.
Gu Yan took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down before saying slowly,"I heard…I heard him say that he got close to you because you had changed too much. He suspected that the general had found someone to replace the real Miss Ye. He said that Miss Ye doesn't know how to play the zither, go to chess, or painting, or medicine, and she doesn't know how to detoxify.”After saying that, Gu Yan looked at Su Qi carefully.
The smile on Su Qi's face was long gone. Of course, she knew the reason for these changes, but why didn't he ask her directly? Su Qi panicked." What else?”
Gu Yan saw that Su Qi didn't show any expression, but he was even more anxious." He also said that he wouldn't let you enter the palace before he was sure because he couldn't rule out the possibility that you would assassinate the Emperor or achieve other goals."”
"Hehe, no wonder he said he would ask the emperor for me. So this is why he approached me? You can leave first. I want to be alone.”
That day, Su Qi did not know how she managed to survive. She suddenly felt that her world was on the verge of collapse. So he did not love her, right? Otherwise, why would he not trust her so much? Was her whimsical thoughts the joke of the day? Was everything he did just a joke…
After that, Suqi never saw Xiao Chengzhe again. She did not want to see him, and he never came to look for Suqi. He was probably busy with something.
At this time, Xiao Chengzhe was busy preparing a surprise for Suqi. However, Xiao Chengzhe did not know that he had missed the best time to explain himself. If it was not for this misunderstanding, perhaps the two of them would not have drifted further apart and missed each other. If he had known, it would have been a different ending.
Su Qi chose to enter the palace. She did not want to think about Xiao Chengzhe's expression after he received the news. He should be angry. After all, he did not achieve his goal. Since he thought that she would hurt the emperor, he would give it a try.
As they got closer and closer to the palace, Su Qi's heart became calmer and calmer. It was better to scheme against a bunch of people she did not care about than to be schemed against by someone she cared about, right?
Just as they were about to enter the palace gates, the carriage was forced to stop.
"Susu, why?" Xiao Chengzhe's voice rang out from outside the carriage. He was panting heavily, and there was a hint of anger and anxiety in his voice.
When she suddenly heard his voice, ripples appeared in Su Qi's originally calm heart. She laughed at herself for being silly. What was she still looking forward to at this moment?
"Prime Minister Xiao, may I know why you've come?”A cold voice sounded. Actually, it was not difficult to pretend not to care, right? Ignoring the pain in the bottom of his heart, one day he would become numb.
Xiao Chengzhe got off the horse in a hurry. He walked to the front of the carriage and wanted to pull open the curtain. However, he heard the person inside say that men and women should not be close. She was a beautiful woman, the emperor's woman. It was necessary to avoid it.
Suddenly, her heart ached as if it was being pricked by needles. Why, why? Didn't we already agree? Why did she suddenly go back on her word?”
"Shouldn't you know best?" Su Qi said softly.
Xiao Chengzhe lifted the curtain and looked at the woman in front of him. She was more beautiful than ever. Her palace dress made her look dignified, but it did not lose its charm. However, there was no gentleness in her phoenix eyes, only coldness.
"Didn't we agree…"
"What did you say? Should they be together? Xiao Chengzhe, ask yourself, have you ever believed me? Have you ever doubted me?" Su Qi looked at Xiao Chengzhe. This is the last time I'm questioning you like this. Looking at Xiao Chengzhe's slightly flickering eyes, Su Qi's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Go back. I've never loved you.”Su Qi did not look at him anymore. She only said indifferently," Just pretend that we have never met."”There was not a trace of emotion, not even hatred, as if they were really strangers.
Xiao Chengzhe's heart cracked when he heard that, but he still smiled and jumped into the car. The curtain isolated them from the outside world.
Xiao Chengzhe hugged Suqi and leaned his head on her shoulder. He said coquettishly," Susu, don't be angry with me. Tell me what I did wrong, or scold me or beat me up. Don't joke around with the rest of your life, okay?"”
A struggle flashed in Su Qi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant." Premier Xiao, please let go of me. It won't be good if others misunderstand."”
Xiao Chengzhe seemed to sense Suqi's determination and gradually relaxed his grip. He looked at Suqi, who was as emotionless as a scarecrow." Why?”His voice was hoarse, as if he was holding something back and was about to explode with anger at any moment.
However, Su Qi did not seem to have heard anything. She had a standard and distant smile on her face.
"Ye Suqi." Xiao Chengzhe was finally enraged. His eyes were burning with rage as if he wanted to burn everything." Do you think I can't bear to destroy you?”
Su Qi finally looked at him and said indifferently,""You just need to stay a little longer and you can destroy me.”
Yes, this was the palace gate. Although no one saw this scene, Xiao Chengzhe had entered Suqi's carriage and stayed inside for a long time. In this era, it was enough to destroy a woman's life.
Xiao Chengzhe looked at the calm and indifferent woman in front of him. He seemed to understand that no matter what he did, he could not change her mind. However, he had not been able to harden his heart and destroy her. When did he become so indecisive?
Xiao Chengzhe's hand slowly reached out to Su Qi's snow-white neck. It was so slender that it seemed like he would break it if he exerted a little force, but he could not bring himself to do so.
Just as he was about to exert his strength on Su Qi, Xiao Chengzhe's hand took off the only bamboo hairpin carved from wood on her head.
Actually, that hairpin was not suitable for Su Qi's outfit. Su Qi did not know why she had to wear it.
"This hairpin is no longer something you can wear.”Xiao Chengzhe looked at the hairpin in his hand. He had spent an entire night carving this hairpin. He did not know how many precious golden nanmu he had broken, but he did not tell her.
Suqi looked at Xiao Chengzhe, who seemed to have lost his soul. She knew that he had carved this because she had seen his shallow wounds. She suddenly wavered in her decision.
Xiao Chengzhe revealed a self-deprecating smile. He broke the hairpin into two with brute force, leaving a red mark on his slender hand.
"From now on, you and I will be like this. We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengzhe threw down the broken wooden hairpin and disappeared from the carriage.
"Enter the palace." The coachman only heard a cold voice coming from the carriage. The carriage still followed the original track and entered the palace.
No one saw Suqi's despair before Xiao Chengzhe left. They did not see her tears. They did not see the broken hairpin that she held tightly. Blood slowly seeped out of her hand.
If there is a next life, Zhe, I will only accompany you.
After entering the palace gate, the carriage slowly stopped. Ye Suqi had already restrained all her emotions when she got off the carriage. She had a standard smile on her face.
" Little Lord is Little Lord Ye?" A young eunuch respectfully walked in front of Su Qi and bowed his head.
"It's my Little Lord Ye. I wonder who you are, Eunuch Ye?"”
"Greetings little lord Ye, this servant is Little Sheng. The Internal Affairs Office ordered me to bring little lord Ye to your sleeping quarters.”Little Sheng was very respectful. That was true. It was probably the same in the palace.
Su Qi glanced at Lü Rao. Lü Rao quickly helped Little Sheng up and stuffed some silver nudes into his mouth." Eunuch Sheng, I'll have to trouble you with this."”
Little Sheng did not stand on ceremony and just smiled and said,""Young master, let's go over now. This servant will introduce you to the Youlan Palace.”
As he spoke, he led the way. Su Qi was supported by Lü Rao and Zi Gan as she followed behind.
Cyan had always been a clever person who knew how to get information. Along the way, he had also learned a lot about the matters in the Imperial Palace. However, what he had heard was only what everyone could know. Who in the Imperial Palace was not a shrewd person? There were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said, but they could distinguish very clearly.
It was said that You Lan Palace wasn't originally called this name, but the emperor felt that the name didn't sound good, so he changed the name. He even appointed Su Qi to live here. Su Qi felt a headache when she heard this. This was making enemies for herself.
However, the Emperor's bedroom was not allowed in You Lan Palace. It was even a little far away. However, it was quiet and the environment was good. Su Qi liked it very much. It was also because of this that when Su Qi entered the palace, although the Emperor seemed to treat her differently, it did not cause too much of a stir.
