C97 (1/2)
Su Li was flabbergasted. It was only after a long while that she realised that this man was giving her back the exact words he had said that morning.
She puffed up her cheeks, unwilling to be outdone. ”Alright, I'll take responsibility for it then. A man with such a beautiful appearance like yours is indeed a nice person. I really want to see him again.”
”Really?” The corner of Mo Lianjin's eyes twitched.
Su Li was frightened from his gaze, the confidence she had just now disappeared in an instant.
”A joke... It's just a joke. ”
”Then what if This King is serious?”
”…”
Mo Lianjin scrunched his face, his eyes carrying a hint of seriousness, and his tone rose: ”Su Li, what will happen to you?”
Su Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his heartbeat sped up.
His eyes were so deep that others couldn't see through them, yet his eyes were captivating.
Boom! *
Mo Lianlang didn't want to miss out on the liveliness, he only felt that he had been blinded.
The tray in his hand fell, spilling gold all over the floor.
His fifth brother's clothes were opened wide, and he was actually grabbing onto Su Li's hand without a care?
Those hands, they have just been examined …
Su Li was startled by the sound, seeing the gold rolling on the ground, his face was full of pain, wanting to throw off Mo Lianjin's restraints and take the chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lianjin immediately pressed her hand to his chest, ”How to peel off this king's clothes, and how to put them on for this king.”
The corner of Su Li's mouth twitched, he could only obediently pull the lapels of his clothes for him and tie them.
She retrieved the precious gold and left the palace with the two of them.
There were no civilians outside the palace, no Imperial Guards, the weather was calm and peaceful.
”Your Highness.” Qing Mu rushed over, ”Tang Rufeng will be staying in the yamen. His charred corpse will be taken away by the family and buried.”
”Yes.”
”Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, I will return to my residence first. You can do as you please.” Su Li planned to return to the Residence of Yue. With the gold she had now, she could buy a few guards and open a doctor.
She couldn't wait to go back and plan.
In this ancient era, it was better to rely on oneself than on others!
However, just as she took a step forward, Mo Lianjin had already grabbed her by the collar and carried her towards the carriage.
”Fifth Prince, I don't need you to send me back. The magistrate court is not far away, I can walk back by myself.”
”Who said I was going to send you back to the magistrate court?”
”Then where are you taking me?”
”Fifth Prince's Mansion.”
”Huh?”
”This king has injured you. Before this king's injuries have healed, shouldn't you have stayed in your Fifth Prince's Mansion to take care of this king?”
”There's an imperial physician...”
”This King cannot trust you.”
”…”
Did she have to be grateful for his trust?
Su Li was shoved into the carriage, but Mo Lianlang was stopped outside.
Looking at the horse carriage flying away, Mo Lianlang felt that he had fallen out of favor with Fifth Bro …
After a long while, it was the first time Su Li entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
There were many twists and turns in the yard, the rocks were adorned with the mountains, the gardens were embroidered with flowers, and there was even a bridge built on the lake, leading to the pentagonal pavilion in the center. It was comparable to the place where the original owner had been to the Crown Prince's Palace.
”father gave it to me after I returned to the capital.” Mo Lianjin said, as his lips flashed with self-deprecation.
”He clearly doesn't like you, but he gave you so many benefits. Isn't this just supporting him to kill him?”
Mo Lianjin did not say anything, his gaze landing on the gold that Su Li was holding.
Su Li's heart skipped a beat. Emperor An didn't like her either, yet gave her a title of female official in front of so many people, giving her a hundred gold coins.
