That night, the Imperial Palace was very lively. Concubine Xue had undoubtedly been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine. The outside was brightly lit, but the Cold Palace was still deserted. "Niangniang, this was sent by Noble Consort Xue!”Holding a few plates of desserts, Wu Ye spoke softly, as if she was afraid of touching on her worries. Without turning around, Su Qingyu continued to look up at the stars in the night sky. "You go down and eat first! I…have no appetite." Perhaps knowing that she really had no appetite, Wu Ye did not force her and went down to eat alone. A gentle breeze blew, and the stars in the night sky twinkled. Among the many stars, she tried her best to find the brightest one. But they were all gone. She heard light footsteps behind her. She did not turn around and only said indifferently,"You can leave first!" The harsh environment allowed him to develop excellent hearing. The figure of the person who had just arrived paused for a moment. In just an instant, he walked towards her again.
Su Qingyu felt a little strange. She turned around and saw a masked man. Her lips opened slightly as if she wanted to call out. The man quickly covered her mouth.
"As long as you don't scream, I'll let go of you, okay?”
She nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with fear. Seeing that she agreed, the man let go of her."I've offended you just now, please forgive me.”
"Who are you?" Su Qingyu became bolder as if she saw that he had no ill intentions.
"Situ Feng!" The man chuckled.”
"I'm here to take you away. Why? Could it be that Young Lady doesn't trust me?" Situ Feng's words were a little annoying, but it did not lose his grace.
Hearing his words, Su Qingyu lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.
She had thought that she would stay in the Cold Palace until the child was born. Now, a stranger suddenly came and said that he wanted to take her away. She was a little conflicted. Could it be…that he was Jing Hao's man?
Seeing that he was still hesitating, the man was a little anxious. He could not help but urge,"Miss, you have to know that we don't have much time left!”
Su Qingyu bit her lip and didn't say anything. She was thinking that if she stayed in the palace, even if Jing Hao could tolerate her, the Empress Dowager and Xuehui could not tolerate her. Besides…the child…Jing Hao would never acknowledge him!
Thinking of this, Su Qingyu mustered up her courage."I'll go with you, but can I bring Wu Ye with me?”
"Young miss, do you think we're going to play? Come on, it's a fugitive!" Situ Feng rolled his eyes helplessly. He paused and saw that she was about to cry." Alright, let's go together!"”
Situ Feng brought the two of them to fly out using their qinggong. Halfway through, he could not help but complain,"Why are you two women so heavy?" I'm so tired!"
Seeing that they did not answer for a long time, Situ Feng smiled and said,"Hey, Miss Su, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person if you leave with me like this?”
A man's magnetic voice rang in her ears. Su Qingyu opened her eyes."Because of your eyes."
"Although you look a little cynical on the surface, your eyes reveal sincerity. That's why I'm leaving with you.”Su Qingyu seemed to be afraid that he didn't understand, so she added.
"Actually…I don't know you at all. Why did you come to save me?”Su Qingyu asked in confusion.
Situ Feng pursed his lips in disdain and didn't reply.
When they arrived outside a forest, Situ Feng finally let go of them. She looked around to make sure that it was safe before leaning against a tree.
"Niangniang, will she really not harm us?”Clearly, Wu Ye had yet to react. In such a dark night, even some men would be afraid, let alone Wu Ye.
Su Qingyu walked over and hugged Wu Ye, as if she wanted to reassure her.
After rushing for several hours through the night, Su Qingyu and the others finally arrived at their destination.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she remembered that they had been here when Jing Hao was injured…Could it be…
"Are you the son of that old man?" Su Qingyu asked in surprise. After such a long time, he didn't expect to be back here again. However, things had changed…
Situ Feng chuckled and ignored him. He shouted into the room,"Master, I'm back!"
The old man's slightly aged voice came from the room, followed by the sound of the door opening.
"Feng 'er, you brought her back?" The old man asked as he sized up Wu Ye with his small eyes.
Su Qingyu was shocked. What was going on?! "Uncle, you…"
"Miss Wu Ye, why don't I show you around first?”Situ Feng invited with a smile.
She nodded shyly. This was her first time going out with a man!
After they left, Su Qingyu followed the old man into the house.
The furnishings in the room were still the same as before, and her thoughts returned to that night…
"Hide behind the Buddha statue and don't make a sound!”
"If I tell you to go, then go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
"What's wrong with you?" "Are you scared? I can let you hug me!"
"We won't die. We'll definitely get out!”……
The scenes from that day replayed in his mind, as if it was just yesterday.
Su Qingyu came back to her senses and carefully sized up the old man who was standing with his back to her. Although he had saved them last time, his strange expression and words had been lingering in her mind. It was just that there had been too many things recently, so she had no time to care. After a long time, the old man sighed and began to speak."Actually, I'm Jing Hao's uncle!”
Su Qingyu looked at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with suspicion. Why didn't Jing Hao mention that he had an uncle?
"Little girl." The old man suddenly laughed." Don't doubt me. That was the reason why I saved you back then.”
Hearing the way he addressed her, Su Qingyu subconsciously frowned. Suddenly, she realized that this place was dangerous!
After some consideration, she felt that it was better to observe it for a while. Thinking of this, she asked tentatively,""Uncle, why don't you go look for Jing Hao? Why are you hiding alone?"
Hearing the hidden probing in her words, the old man could not help but look at her in a new light. It seemed that General Su had taught a good daughter. She was extremely smart!”Little girl, you don't have to be afraid. I won't harm you!”
Then, he told her everything that had happened back then."Back then, in order to protect me, Xiao Hao's mother actually bore the crime of killing the royal family's bloodline. The late emperor did not want to pursue the matter. After all, he truly liked Little Hao's mother. However, because of Consort Xian, oh, the current Empress Dowager's coercion, the late emperor had no choice but to banish her into the Cold Palace. At that time, she had just given birth to Xiao Hao. Her body was weak and she couldn't stand the hardships of the Cold Palace. Not long after…"
"Later, I promised Lil Hao's mother that I wouldn't take revenge. However, even if you didn't look for him, he would still take the initiative to look for you. I didn't expect Consort Xian (the current Empress Dowager) to join forces with the Prime Minister to get rid of me. At that time, I couldn't protect Little Hao at all…I escaped death, and when I heard that Little Hao was safe and sound, I went into seclusion…"
Su Qingyu opened her mouth in shock. She couldn't believe it. The empress dowager actually killed his own mother? And he actually treated the Empress Dowager so well? Perhaps this was the difference between a beast and a human!
"I heard that the Prime Minister is going to rebel. I'm worried that Xiao Hao will make things difficult for you, so I invited you here…"
"Uncle, why did you tell me?”She blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion.
After a long time, he said,"Because you will be his fatal wound!"”
Su Qingyu understood the meaning behind his words, but she only smiled bitterly and did not answer. Since ancient times, emperors were the most heartless. She knew that she did not have the ability to become his fatal wound.
