C29 (1/2)
Gu Xi Chao looked deeply at her and kept reminding himself that this was the last time. However, he also understood that this self-consolation was useless. If it was useful, he wouldn't be unable to control himself and repeat the same mistake again and again. He also understood that she had been impatient for a long time, but he couldn't help it. Even if it was just sitting in her place, she would still be happy.
She had an impatient expression on her face. He didn't even bother to reply. He knew that his actions would cause trouble for him, but he just couldn't control himself. For some unknown reason, he had a vague feeling in his heart that today would be the last time they would meet. He couldn't help but speak out the things that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
”Madam Su, I'm fine, I just like you.”
To Su Yuewu, this simple sentence was like a clap of thunder. Although the expression on his face didn't change, the surprise in his eyes couldn't be ignored. She had never thought that he would suddenly say such a thing to her. Didn't he like Su Yuehua? Why would he say such a thing to her now?
Apart from being surprised, she didn't think that it was fake. This was because his eyes were no longer concealing it. Slowly, it was filled with infatuation, expectation, sincerity, and even some undetectable despair. Although it was very faint, she could still see it clearly.
”Oh.”
She didn't know how to respond to his words. The only thing she could give was a faint ”Oh”, indicating that she knew. The two of them sat in silence, neither of them saying anything.
After an unknown amount of time, the First Prince stood up and gave her a glance. His speed was too fast, and before she could clearly see the expression in his eyes, she saw him turn and leave. He only left behind a ”Goodbye”.
Su Yuewu didn't say anything either. In such a short period of time, she had discovered the hidden feelings within the First Prince. Although he didn't say much, she understood very well.
She sat there for a moment, and she understood the despair in his eyes. He had been given the identity of a married woman from the moment he had met her, and had even brought a son with him. The conversation also revealed that she and her husband had a good relationship. The current dynasty was not a small era where people plundered each other. Furthermore, his status was still there, so he was not allowed to do anything excessive to him. And because he is not a scoundrel.
The reason why she was so relaxed and willing to act this way towards him was also because she had looked up his information. Understand that all his life he just wanted to be a casual prince, but his mother as a queen doesn't think that way. Being in the royal family was something he couldn't control. He also had his own difficulties.
Although she was grateful for his love for her, if she didn't like him, then she didn't like him. Even if she gave him hope, it would only make her sad.
After Gu Qishao left that day, he had never appeared again. Presumably, it was because he knew that there was no hope for him. There was also the matter of the Su Clan. Now, it was extremely urgent.
Su Yuewu had made all the preparations and no longer had any mood to continue playing. Moreover, Su Yuehua, supported by the empress, was showing signs of a comeback. This made her very annoyed. She told Nan Gong Qian to contact the Royal Family to get a definite answer. If they insisted on protecting the Su Family, then don't blame her.
Politics has always been a bloodless war. While people were still reacting, the country had already changed generations. As for the Su Clan, they had also quietly been annihilated in this long river of history. However, everyone was curious as to how it had been destroyed.
There were too many versions of what happened that day. But the truth was simple.
After Su Yuewu discovered the Empress's support for the Su family, she had found Imperial Concubine Qi, who had always been at loggerheads with the Empress. As for Imperial Concubine Qi, she also had a son of her own, who was only the Third Prince. She had been suppressed by the title of eldest son of the eldest prince since she was young, and the title of imperial concubine had been suppressed by the empress as well.
Imperial Concubine Qi's father was a general of the imperial court. Although he was a military man, he was also a man of iron and tender feelings. He loved his little daughter the most. It was also because of him that forcing the palace this time became very easy.
The Emperor's delay in reigning the throne also gave her endless hope. Therefore, when she and the empress fought to their hearts' content, the appearance of the Lunar Shadow gave her hope of success.
Since ancient times, money was just a good thing. No matter what you wanted to do, as long as you had money, things would become much simpler. Anything that could be solved with money was not a big deal.
With the help of Moon Shadow, most of the officials in the court leaned towards Imperial Concubine Qi. With the appearance of Moon Slaughter, this matter had become much easier. And to the Su Clan, the thing that caused them the most pain was none other than having the person they had always relied on give them despair. Moreover, the first thing the new Emperor did when he registered was to reduce all members of the Su Clan to commoners.
As she did not know who the new emperor was, when Su Yuehua received the decree, she thought it was from the First Prince. Her face was filled with disbelief as she rushed to the palace to see the Empress and the First Prince.
Actually, with her ability, it would not have been so easy to die. It was just that her mind had been completely disrupted by the imperial edict and she had lost her wits. That was why she was so easily killed.
