She refused to marry.

Chapter 72 Prosperity Chapter 72

Xiao Xuanjing released his grip, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Whose person are you?"

"I am the Princess's woman, and also the Emperor's woman. I will be loyal to the Emperor from beginning to end." Su Wanwan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

My goodness!

Having gone through so much, Feng Chenjun still acts whenever he feels like it.

No, she can't serve you properly, you have to leave immediately.

Escape the capital, and stay away from the madman.

"Tell me, who is this person?" Xiao Xuanjing sheathed his dagger.

"Xie Yunzhou..." Su Wanwan's throat bobbed.

"Is Miss Su here? I need to speak with her." The Sixth Princess's voice came from the doorway.

Jian Qingshan, sword in hand, glanced inside. "Your Highness, please wait a moment." He walked to the door, lifted the curtain, and said, "My lord, the Sixth Princess has arrived."

Xiao Xuanjing pondered for a moment, then said, "Let her in."

Su Wanwan quickly withdrew her hand and took a deep breath.

The sixth princess entered and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Miss Su, would you please sit on the ground?"

Su Wanwan stood up, dusted herself off, and said, "Greetings, Sixth Prince."

"We're setting off back to the palace tomorrow, and tonight is our last night. It's quite lively outside, shall we go take a look?" The Sixth Princess took her hand.

My palms were covered in sweat.

Su Wanwan looked at Feng Chenjun with pleading eyes.

"Go." Xiao Xuanjing's gaze was indifferent.

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly slipped out of the tent with the Sixth Princess.

Once outside the tent, Su Wanwan began to sob and cry, oblivious to everyone around her.

The sixth princess comforted him, "The prince asked me to come and see you. You are indeed here, having suffered such a great injustice."

"Did he send you?" Su Wanwan's voice choked with sobs as she wiped away her tears and snot with a handkerchief.

"Yes, he said he absolutely had to bring you out. I thought Lord Fengchen wouldn't let you go..." The Sixth Princess took her hand.

"Sixth Prince, please stop liking Feng Chenjun. Find someone else. He's not a good man... No, he's not even human, sob sob sob..." Su Wanwan sobbed.

"You're one of the few women who caught his eye. If it were any other woman, she would probably be dead by now," the Sixth Princess gently comforted her.

"Who would be willing to serve me..." Su Wanwan sniffed.

"His Majesty wasn't always like this; he used to be very gentle."

"Was it like this later?" Su Wanwan turned her head curiously.

"Come on, I'll tell you slowly." The sixth princess took her arm and walked forward.

"The Princess and General Xiao were originally in love, and General Xiao had vowed never to take a concubine."

A few years later, he broke his promise and took a concubine, which caused a rift in their relationship.

In a fit of rage, the eldest princess had the concubine beaten to death.

The concubine left behind a daughter who had been close to the king since childhood. After the concubine died, the girl lived with the king for some time.

"Later, the conflict between the eldest princess and General Xiao deepened, and they eventually separated."

Since the emperor refused to leave the Xiao family, the princess threatened the girl's life.

The emperor had no choice but to accompany the princess to the capital. From then on, he never approached any woman again, fearing the princess's wrath.

"Later, there was a beautiful maid in the manor who served the emperor with utmost care and devotion. The emperor treated her differently from others, but she poisoned his tea."

From that moment on, the king became completely heartbroken towards women.

The sixth princess paused, then said in a low voice, "There's something even more distressing. Do you want to hear it?"

Su Wanwan nodded repeatedly. How could she not listen to such gossip?

"The daughter born to General Xiao's concubine grew up to be a beauty of unparalleled grace and was brought into the palace by the Crown Prince."

Rumor has it that she suffered endless humiliation in the Eastern Palace, and when the emperor learned of it, she was already on the verge of death.

Despite the princess's objections, they brought her back to their residence. But less than half a month later, she committed suicide…

Su Wanwan felt very heavy-hearted after hearing this.

"This is why His Majesty dislikes women getting close. Although I admire His Majesty, I dare not approach him even a step..."

"Even the most hateful person has a pitiable side..." Su Wanwan sighed.

In the evening, when the sixth princess was about to present her gift, she was left all alone.

Feeling guilty about what I had done wrong today, I went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of fragrant porridge and made milk tea.

When Feng Chenjun turned to leave, they stood at his door and waited.

Xiao Xuanjing looked up and saw Su Wanwan standing at the door.

Feeling troubled.

Su Wanwan lifted the curtain. "Your Majesty, please have your meal!"

Xiao Xuanjing stepped into the tent and smelled a fragrant aroma. On the table were a bowl of porridge and a bowl of hot milk.

"What do you mean?" he asked, turning around.

Suppressing her fear, Su Wanwan massaged Feng Chenjun's shoulders.

"I was wrong today, and no matter what I do, I cannot quell His Majesty's anger. Therefore, I have done my best to hope that His Majesty will forgive me..."

Su Wanwan picked up the small bowl, scooped out a small amount and drank it herself. "See, there's no poison or sleeping potion. Your Majesty, please drink with peace of mind."

Jian Qingshan stared intently at the porridge.

Seeing this, Su Wanwan stirred the porridge and drank about half of it.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own. But my intention was that if something happened to the Crown Prince, wouldn't that have pleased the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince would be happy, but Your Majesty wouldn't be, and neither would I."

Therefore, I now realize my mistake for acting on my own today, and I promise I will never again act on my own without authorization, lest I bring harm to Your Majesty. What do you say?

If there is a next time, Your Majesty will not need to lift a finger; I will take my own life and commit suicide in the place where Your Majesty has imprisoned me. I will not cause Your Majesty any trouble...

Xiao Xuanjing's heart tightened, and old wounds from the past were stirred up.

He looked up at her.

She looked like a kitten, obediently bending over and begging for mercy.

The anger in my heart dissipated immediately.

"This will not happen again..."

"Then has Your Majesty forgiven me?" Su Wanwan asked in a low voice.

What I just said worked.

Xiao Xuanjing lowered his eyes and drank his porridge.

Su Wanwan happily skipped a few steps away and hugged Qingshan tightly, saying, "Your Majesty forgives me... Your Majesty forgives me..."

Jian Qingshan stood frozen in place.

this......

After a long pause, he finally said, "Miss Su! There are differences between men and women!"

Su Wanwan patted Qingshan on the shoulder, "Oh, I forgot, there's a separation between men and women here, Brother Jian, I've prepared one for you too."

After saying that, he turned around and slipped out of the tent.

After a while, he entered the tent carrying a pot of milk tea. "The cook from the kitchen kicked me out. Shall we just use a spoon?"

Aoyama took a taste and said, "Hmm, Miss Su's milk tea is special. It's not as rich as the Northern Territory's, but it has a refreshing fragrance."

"It's delicious, I'll make it every day from now on," Su Wanwan said, squatting down.

"How can I trouble you, Miss, every day?" Aoyama held up the pot and gulped down the drink.

Xiao Xuanjing crossed his arms and looked at the two people at the door.

She's pitiful too; she has to put on such a deliberate act just to survive.

He bent down, took the token from his waist, and threw it at her, "Su Wanwan!"

Su Wanwan caught the token that Feng Chenjun threw to her. "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"From now on, there is no need to announce your presence when entering or leaving the Princess's residence or the East Garden," Xiao Xuanjing said calmly.

If they reveal even the slightest flaw, they will be crushed on the spot.
