CHAPTER 532 2 : INDEED FELL IN LOVE (1/2)

The pure Chao Mu is already dead, and I am also no longer who I once was. It seems like all the pure and innocent people that meet Su Xi-er are doomed to either end up dead or swept up in life-changing conflicts.

Is it Su Xi-er’s fault, or is it simply their fate?

“Princess Consort, please accompany the Imperial Princess. I will look for you again when you are done with your conversation.” Xie Liuli bowed and walked out of the plum blossom grove.

Xie Liuli’s appearance had allowed Du Rin to confirm what she needed to, and she decided not to impose on them any longer. “This Princess really likes this branch of plum blossom, and I plan to bring it with me. Many thanks for strolling around with me, Princess Consort. You should go and drink another bowl of red bean soup. This Princess shall also not disturb you any further.”

Su Xi-er extended her hand. “I’ll lead you out of the residence.”

The two remain silent throughout the journey. Du Rin’s expression was placid, but Su Xi-er’s words lingered in her mind.

She doesn’t care about how I deal with Xie Yun, but I mustn’t implicate the innocent, which must be referring to Zhen Yu. Since she’s currently staying in the Prince Hao Residence, they must be protecting her.

Xie Yun likes to threaten women, and yet his kryptonite is Zhen Yu. If I insist on laying my hands on Zhen Yu, how is Su Xi-er going to pursue the matter? If I make Su Xi-er unhappy, I will no longer be Du Rin, and will become Tan Ge instead?

Haha, Su Xi-er, you’ve been overly sheltered by Pei Qianhao to the extent that you don’t understand the specifics of the situation in the outside world. The Western Region’s people don’t care who you are; they only recognise the military tally. Even if it is the King, mismanagement of the court may lead to him losing his position to pressure from the left and right factions.

The left faction’s leader is already head over heels for me, but as for the right faction’s leader, he’s a young and capable man who doesn’t fall for bait easily.

When Su Xi-er and Du Rin were about to reach the entrance, they noticed that Commander Zhao Wu had already arrived and was speaking with Pei Qianhao.

There was a harsh look in Du Rin’s eyes. Well done, Commander Zhao Wu! Let’s see whose side you’re on!
