Chapter 48: The Eve of the Storm
"Miss, what's in this box?"
Wan'er gathered around Su Ruoxi, looking curious.
Su Ruoxi opened the box, and there was a small white ball inside, which was about the size of a plum, and it looked smooth and white on the outside.
"What is this?"
Wan'er stared at a pair of curious eyes and wondered, "What can be the use of this little white ball?" β
Su Ruoxi glanced at the small ball, and put the things in the box.
Of course she knew what it was, the precious thing was still inside this white ball, and she needed to smash it to get it out.
However, Su Ruoxi didn't tell SΓΉ Wan'er, but just prevaricated: "This is something left to me by my mother, even if it's just a hair, it's very precious." β
As soon as Su Ruoxi said this, Wan'er didn't feel strange, and nodded straight in agreement.
"Miss, let's leave the second miss in the pool, will it really be okay? After all......"
Wan'er wanted to say, after all, Su Ruotong is now a veritable crown princess, and it's not good for things to get big.
But halfway through her words, her face changed when she saw Su Ruoxi, and she didn't dare to continue.
Su Ruoxi rolled her eyes and thought about it, she would not sympathize with Su Ruotong, who told her to die by herself.
But it seems too cheap to trap her in the pool like this, so she has to make it a little more lively!
Thinking like this in her heart, Su Ruoxi said to Wan'er: "Go and inform the people in the house, just say that the crown princess fell into the water, let them go and save people!" β
When Wan'er heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ran to find someone to help.
Su Ruoxi packed up her things and followed her to the garden to watch a good show.
Su Ruotong is now wet with water, and her tulle clothes will become more transparent after being dyed with water, so Su Ruotong is wearing clothes now and not wearing them at all.
After a while, there are more onlookers, and I am afraid that Su Ruotong will want to die.
This can't be blamed for her ruthlessness, if it was she who was pushed into the water, Su Ruotong would definitely be even more ruthless in her, which is called self-inflicted sin and can't live.
Su Ruoxi hummed a small tune and happily ran to the garden to watch the excitement, Wan'er is worthy of being a girl ring she cultivated, and the speed is called a fast.
When she arrived, not to mention the people in the house, even Su Yao, Shen Tianlei, Mu Ziran and others were alarmed.
There were no less than twenty people surrounding the pool, and it was a spectacular scene!
Su Ruotong hid in the middle of the lotus leaves and refused to come out, her whole body was already shivering with cold, looking at so many people watching her ugly appearance, her feelings were very uncalm.
Su Ruoxi ran to the edge of the lotus pond and laughed loudly at Su Ruotong: "Ah! Is the crown princess catching fish in the water? The water in this pool is so cold, the princess should come up quickly, it's not good if she is sick! β
"Su Ruoxi! You're so presumptuous! You pushed this concubine into the water, and you were still talking cool there! β
As soon as she saw Su Ruoxi, Su Ruotong began to roar, as if she wanted to immediately pounce over and strangle Su Ruoxi.
"Tut-tut, the crown princess is confused, right? Did anyone see that I pushed the princess into the water? You have to pay attention to evidence when you speak, otherwise I will sue you for slander. β
Su Ruoxi's face was calm, anyway, no one saw what happened before, so she didn't admit it, who dared to do anything to her?
"Tong'er, come up quickly, we'll talk about what you have to say."
Su Yao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Shen Lianyue had been kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if something happened to Su Ruotong again, I am afraid that his phase would not be guaranteed.
After all, Su Yao was just a scholar at the beginning, and he relied on the power of Shen Lianyue's mother's family to have the position of prime minister today.
As soon as she heard that she was going to go up, Su Ruotong took a few steps back and hid a little deeper, revealing only one head outside the lotus leaf.
Su Ruotong knew very well that if she went out now, she would be completely discredited.
"What are you all doing here! Go find a clean dress for the crown princess, and all other irrelevant people will step aside! β
Seeing Su Ruotong's embarrassment, Mu Ziran shouted angrily with a straight face, after all, Su Ruotong lost his face.
Su Ruoxi was still watching a good show, when suddenly Mu Zihan walked up to her side and said in a low voice: "If you have such fun doing something wrong, you are not afraid of retaliation?" β
Although no one saw that it was Su Ruoxi who pushed Su Ruotong into the water, everyone knew that Su Ruotong could not run into the pool by herself.
Even if you accidentally fall into the water, how can you fall into the center of the lotus pond?
But it was precisely because no one saw it, so Su Ruotong's empty words were unfounded, and no one dared to do anything to Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi snorted coldly and returned to him what Mu Zihan had just said.
"That's right, some people pretend not to know when they do something wrong, and they are not afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Knowing what Su Ruoxi was hinting at, Mu Zihan frowned slightly and said, "That's the end she deserves, this king said that the people who have hurt you, this king will not let go." β
"Tut-tut, don't be so sanctimonious, I don't need the help of the prince!"
Damn, it's obvious that he used her to eradicate the secret enemy, and he found such a beautiful excuse to coax her, really think she's a fool?!
"Are you sure?"
Mu Zihan also ignored those who were busy saving Su Ruotong, as if there was only Su Ruoxi in his eyes.
"Of course!"
After Su Ruoxi finished speaking, she stayed away from Mu Zihan, she felt that it was safer to fight the enemy head-on than to stand with Mu Zihan.
Looking at Su Ruoxi's indifferent back, Mu Zihan could only smile bitterly, he understood why Su Ruoxi's attitude had changed so much.
"It's a pity, it doesn't matter if you misunderstand this king, this king only needs you to be safe."
Mu Zihan thought secretly in her heart, Su Ruoxi misunderstood that he thought he was poisoning and using her, how could she know that the poison was not directed at her at all, how could he do anything to hurt her.
However, he explained now, I am afraid that Su Ruoxi will only think that he is quibbling, so he can only use time to slowly prove and change her mind.
Su Ruotong was rescued by Mu Ziran, and she didn't see the good show she imagined, and Su Ruoxi felt very bored.
After such a disturbance, everyone was not in the mood to go back to the hall to continue having fun.
The guests ate and dispersed, and only Uncle Guo and his group were left in the house.
Mu Zihan asked people to prepare a carriage and prepare to return to the palace.
Su Ruoxi naturally followed Mu Zihan and left, but what made her strange was that Uncle Guo and Mu Ziran's reactions were too calm, and she always had a faint bad premonition.
The carriage was staggering on the official road, and Su Ruoxi was thinking about her thoughts while looking at the scenery outside.
Mu Zihan sat opposite her and closed his eyes to recuperate, not asking too much of her as he did when he came.
Su Ruoxi thought about things too much, and didn't notice that Mu Zihan, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, had dense beads of sweat oozing from his face, and even his face became very difficult to look at.
