Chapter 44: Should I Be Happy?
After coaxing softly for a long time, Su Zhi finally figured out that she was actually jealous!
Su Zhi went out every day because of Taichang Siqing's case, and he inevitably had to deal with Taichang Siqing's adopted daughter Li Anran, and after coming and going, there were gradually rumors that Li Anran hooked up with the regent, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he would marry into the regent's mansion.
The so-called rumors are fiercer than tigers, and their princesses get along every day, but they are also angry with themselves because of this rumor, Su Zhi is angry and funny, and only hugs Shen Luo for a long time, and comforts him softly.
When the person in his arms gradually quieted down, Su Zhi saw that Shen Luo's eyes were already a little swollen, so he called Fran and hurriedly prepared a hot water towel for Shen Luo's eyes.
The two of them returned to the Chaolu Temple, and Fran soon came in with hot water.
Su Zhi personally helped Shen Luo to cover his eyes, put down the things in his hand, and then said with a smile: "What should I do, don't worry, lady, I will only marry you in this life." ”
Shen Luo's expression moved slightly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting, and no one noticed it.
"The prince's words have to count..."
Shen Luo muttered, his face showed coquettishness, Su Zhi's heart softened into a puddle of spring water, hugged the person in front of him tightly, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Now... Can the lady's Kwai water go? ”
Pretending to twist his body, Shen Luo nodded, but said with a straight expression: "Lord Wang, how long do you have to investigate the case of Taichang Siqing?" ”
Su Zhi smiled: "What's the matter, I'm worried that this king will see Na Li Anran every day, and he won't be moved?" ”
Shen Luo pouted and didn't speak, obviously not very happy.
Su Zhi said again: "Lady just put her heart in her stomach, husband, I will definitely sit still." ”
Hearing this, Shen Luo's expression was not only not relaxed, but even more annoyed, and turned his face to glare at Su Zhi: "Beauty is in her arms to sit still, what's the matter, the prince still wants to hold people in his arms?!" ”
Su Zhi was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand with a smile: "Don't dare, I won't dare, I won't look at it, I won't say a word, and I only have you in my heart." ”
The two frolicked for a while, Shen Luo was in a much better mood, and gradually became concerned about Su Zhi's case.
Stroking the hair that slipped on the side of Shen Luo's cheeks, Su Zhi said: "This case originally had nothing to investigate, it was the old couple who gave their daughter to Li Jiamao, the secretary of Taichang Temple, but now they came to complain, saying that Li Jiamao robbed their daughter by virtue of his high position." ”
Shen Luo frowned: "Isn't it easy to find out such a clumsy lie?" ”
Su Zhi smiled bitterly: "It's good that it's so simple." Originally, this matter only had to be resolved in court, but after Jing Zhaoyin transferred the case to the Criminal Department, it happened that Chen Peiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was sick and bedridden, and could not try the case, so the matter was delayed again and again. ”
Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully: "The delay in the trial will arouse suspicion, and the old couple kneeling on Suzaku Street and crying and accusing will naturally make everyone know, and things will become unrecognizable." ”
Su Zhi glanced at Shen Luo approvingly: "Now that the matter has been clarified, but the old couple can't be sentenced to falsely accuse the court officials, once they are sentenced like this, I am afraid that the imperial city will scold the royal officials and officials for protecting each other and oppressing the people." ”
Seeing Su Zhi frowning, Shen Luo reached out and touched Su Zhi's angular cheeks: "There will always be a way to do things, the prince doesn't have to worry." ”
The two talked about it again, but because of Li Jiamao's matter, both of them were a little absent-minded, and after only talking for a while, Su Zhi received Xi Zhu's news and went out of the house again.
Seeing Su Zhi leave, Shen Luo stood in the courtyard, and his body was imposing for a while, and Fran made a sudden start: "Princess? ”
Shen Luo didn't answer, just looked at the high courtyard wall of the Regent's Mansion.
"Princess, don't take Li Anran's matter to heart......"
Hearing this, Shen Luo turned around, and his face returned to the demure and gentleness of his previous eloquent words: "You also think I'm really jealous?" ”
Fran was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”
Fran was secretly sure in her heart, even if Shen Luo said that she was pretending, she would not believe it, because she clearly felt that Shen Luo's attitude towards Su Zhi was different from the past, and there must be a ghost in her heart!
Seeing that Fran's eyes were resolute, as if he was examining a prisoner, as if he wanted to see her through, Shen Luo laughed twice: "Little Fran, you are very smart!" ”
Fran was slightly stunned, why, Shen Luo admitted that she was jealous? She admits that she is tempted?
Fran was about to show a smug smile, but Shen Luo suddenly stopped laughing, and her clear eyes were faintly sad.
Clueless, Shen Luo asked, "Little Fulan, do you think Su Zhi is good to me?" ”
"Okay."
Fran replied almost without hesitation.
Shen Luo nodded: "It's very good, and it's not the kind of ...... that pretends to be."
is obviously admitting Su Zhi's love for him, but there is no joy in his gloomy tone, but it is so dull that people feel unreasonably depressed.
"Princess, aren't you happy?"
Shen Luo turned away and turned his gaze back to the high wall of the Regent's Mansion: "Should I be happy?" Fran, have you ever wondered why Su Zhi is so good to me? ”
Fran shook her head blankly, and suddenly remembered that Shen Luo was facing away from him, and he couldn't see his movements, so he said again: "I don't know." ”
Shen Luo chuckled: "Because I am the eleventh princess of Nanrong, I will excuse myself." ”
Fran didn't speak for a moment, as if she hadn't understood it yet.
"I came to Shangyin as a substitute for marriage, and with the identity of the eleventh princess of Nanrong, Su Zhi robbed her relatives, and treated me in every way, all because of this identity. In other words, no matter who the eleventh princess is, as long as she comes here with this identity, Su Zhi will love her. ”
Finally understood what Shen Luo meant, Fran suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Fran shook her head again: "No, no, even if it is because of identity, but I fall in love with you because you are you!" ”
"Fran, am I me?"
Almost immediately after, Shen Luo suddenly asked, leaving Fran confused.
"You...... You're not you... Is it? ”
Shen Luo didn't answer, just chuckled, and as soon as the wind blew, the lonely laugh scattered into broken pieces, little by little, dissipated in the wind.
Am I me? I changed my name and surname to Shangyin, hid my martial arts, disguised my scheming, and pretended to be a deferential foreign princess, am I like this?
What Su Zhi likes is the gentle and humble elegy beside his pillow, and the soft-spoken princess regent. What he likes is the hypocritical mask that I carefully disguise every day, not me, not the blood-stained, ruthless killer Shen Luo.
