Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 1097

"Cang Chu, pretend that I didn't say anything just now." Ning Zheyan blinked his doe like innocent eyes.

"If you don't like it, I can get someone to propose to you tomorrow. That way, you can order them around as you wish." Cang Chu's lips curled up in a cold smile.

Ning Zheyan naturally waved her hand again and again: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm not getting used to living in the palace. I'll do it myself.

Because of his body, Cang Chu had been busy these past few days, and he had gotten used to it when commanding others.

Now that his body was more or less recovered, and he was still so righteously commanding Cang Chu, Cang Chu was naturally angry.

Cang Chu did not say anything after hearing that, took the bow and arrow on the table, and left the room.

Presumably, he still went hunting.

Or he could go to the woman broker and sell him.

Imperial Palace

"Cang Chu, stop right there." In the imperial garden, Cang Chu was currently teaching Yu'er and Yi'er how to poke their acupoints.

Cang Chu immediately turned and left.

"You guys continue your practice here. Master will be coming over shortly." Cang Chu felt a little helpless, and walked toward the Su'er with a face full of anger.

"How long are you going to stay away from me?" During this month, the Su'er quickly adapted to life in the palace, and the citizens of the Southern Mountain State knew that the Emperor had adopted an adopted daughter. As for the ident.i.ty and origins of this adopted daughter, no one knew.

If the emperor didn't say anything, then of course, no subject would dare to go in front of the emperor and ask.

"Princess, didn't you go with Esteemed Empress to soak in the hot springs?" Cang Chu lowered his eyes, not looking at Su'er, his tone carrying a hint of alienation.

"At first, we agreed that you would stay behind to accompany me, but these days you've been hiding from me, forcing me, and you don't even want to have anything to do with me. What exactly do you mean by this?" In the beginning, the Su'er was also attracted by the life of the palace, she did not care about Cang Chu's dodging, but now that a month had pa.s.sed, and the winter was about to pa.s.s, green sprouts began to sprout from the tree branches.

Only now did Su'er realize that Cang Chu was intentionally hiding from him.

"Princess, the one I promised you before was to stay behind and accompany you to find your beloved husband. You and I naturally have to avoid each other, or else it would be bad for the princess, the empress, and the empress's reputation." Cang Chu's words were extremely logical, to the point that no one could refute him.

Su'er bit her lips. Didn't she say that she wanted Cang Chu to stay? She had never thought of looking for anyone else.

But Cang Chu acknowledged this logic. The reason he stayed was to see how happy the Su'er was.

He had never thought of being with the Su'er in the first place.

"You …" Su'er was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She clearly didn't mean it that way, but he just had to …

"The emperor has already started to find suitable candidates for the princess. For the princess' reputation and the royal family's prestige, it's best if we don't meet each other often." Cang Chu said in all seriousness, his face full of seriousness.

The more he spoke, the more Cang Chu pushed the Su'er far away.

"If the princess is fine, I'll be going to teach the First and Second Princes martial arts." Cang Chu blessed the Su'er slightly, his att.i.tude respectful and cautious. With just a slight movement, the originally sweet relationship between the two had already become estranged.

It was like a broken mirror. Even though it had been rea.s.sembled, a crack still remained.

Su'er bit her lips as she watched Cang Chu leave in front of him with cold eyes. Her posture when turning around actually carried a kind of resolute determination.

Su'er stood on the Western Wind Moon Bridge for a long time, but from start to finish, Cang Chu did not turn his head to look at her, as if she didn't even exist.

Her master had been so kind to her, and although she was strict, she had been very gentle. She had thought that she would never part with her master in her entire life, but who would have thought that when her master was fourteen years old, he had only left her a letter, and there had been no news of him ever since.

At first, she thought it was a joke, but then she searched the entire mountain, went to the place where her master had been, and waited for her master for three months.

She couldn't understand why her master would leave in such a good condition. Even if she was to leave, why was she unwilling to bid farewell to her face? Furthermore, she did not leave with even a single reason.

For an entire year, she had thought that her master would come back, but year after year, the period of time in her heart grew smaller and smaller. In the end, it was mercilessly extinguished by the snow that came during the winter.

At that time, she naively thought that her master was only exercising her and then hiding in the dark to secretly watch.

Thus, she went to the snowy mountain and deliberately walked on the slippery, cold lake that could crack at any time.

She walked two laps around the frozen lake, frozen stiff, her hands and feet numb, unconscious.

However, her master still hadn't appeared. She thought that it must be because she wasn't ruthless enough, so she jumped up and down on the surface of the lake. When she jumped for the third time, the ice cracked and she fell into the ice-cold lake, as if she had fallen into an icehouse.

A cold chill quickly enveloped her entire body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. Soon after, she struggled as she lay on the ice wet. She looked around and found that her surroundings were still as quiet as before, not a single person.

The water that dripped from his hair was like icicles stabbing into his face, hurting him.

She didn't wait for her master to rescue her, but instead for some snow to fall. That day, she almost froze to death in the lake.

The ice on the surface of the lake was very slippery. She struggled for a long time, but didn't climb up. In the end, she was completely exhausted. All she had was enough strength to use her hands to cling onto the ice, preventing herself from falling into the lake.

Afterwards, as she clung to the cold surface of the lake, her consciousness gradually faded. Just as her entire body was about to merge with the ice, a pa.s.serby finally discovered her and saved her.

She would wait until she was eighteen before coming back, and then she would become a beggar in the capital. She would wander the streets every day, hoping to meet her master again when she was eighteen.

If she met him, she would definitely tell her master about what happened that year, and then vent her anger on him.

But 18 years later, she finally met someone similar to her master, but he wasn't her master. She also finally knew that her master would never come back.
