Chapter 066: Back down
Time seemed to fall silent.
Su Le thought that she wouldn't care, even if she saw Leng Junshu again, she could feel nothing, just treat him as a stranger.
But when she saw Leng Junshu again, she realized that her heart would still hurt, and she would still feel faintly painful when she thought of the hurtful past.
Despite this, Su Le was no longer the stupid person she was three years ago, and she didn't want to be played around again, so she quickly calmed down.
"Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Go home?
Which home to go back to?
In addition to Purple Valley, apart from Xianghuang Mansion, does she have any other home to go back to?
And Su Le knew that the home that Leng Junchou was talking about was not the home she knew, he was just ordered to take him back.
"Lele, this king knows that the past has made you sad, but please believe that this king and you are sincere in marrying you, not because of your brother and sister-in-law. β
"Hehe, is it?" Su Le outlined his red lips, and there was incomparably sarcastic mockery in his eyes.
Wholehearted?
Is he still sincere?
If he was really sincere, why didn't he chase after him at that time?
Is this what he calls sincerity?
Su Le shook his head secretly, Leng Junshu and Sun Zhiqian are actually no different, just for their daughter, one for their brother and sister-in-law, they are all crazy, and anyone can use them for revenge.
Therefore, Leng Junchou's sincerity at this time is ridiculous.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Leng Junshu could only sigh helplessly: "This king knows that you don't believe it, but what this king said is true." β
"Are you finished? If you're done, Lord Leng can go. Su Le didn't look at him anymore, and directly made a gesture of please.
"Lele, even if you don't believe in this king, but you must leave with this king, otherwise you will ......"
"Otherwise, Emperor Zhou will kill me, right?" Su Le took his words, obviously already knowing what he was going to say, and his heart was as clear as if it were transparent.
"Since you have already guessed, then you should also understand the current situation, so you can only go back with this king, otherwise you will face His Majesty's endless assassination of you in the future. β
Although Emperor Zhou looks like a good old man, who was born in the emperor's family and can sit in that position, which one is truly benevolent?
In order to seize the throne, the brothers killed, for the throne, countless open and secret battles, and then became the emperor, so can Emperor Zhou be a paper tiger?
Once someone challenges his authority, or threatens his country, Leng Junshu believes that Emperor Zhou will never be relentless.
Su Le smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter! Anyway, with my current situation, I will always offend one side, I just choose the side that is beneficial to me, and there is nothing wrong with it." β
"What's the disadvantage of choosing the southern kingdom? As long as you go back, this king will protect you. Leng Junchou was a little anxious.
The more Su Le refused to come back, it meant that she resented herself in her heart, otherwise she should go back even if it was for the sake of Mrs. Su, but Su Le resolutely refused.
"Hehe, you protect me? If you don't hurt me, you're already Amitabha. Su Le sneered: "Lord Leng, let's leave quickly!, otherwise, don't blame me for not holding back for a while, if you shout that there is an assassin, I'm afraid you, the Cold King of the Southern Kingdom, will die here." β
"This king is not afraid of death, this king is only afraid of you in danger. β
Su Le was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses: "Also, how can I say that I am also an 'important' witness to the murder of your eldest brother and sister-in-law, if I die, who will you check on your brother and sister-in-law?"
"Lele, this king is just for you......"
"Okay, you've been talking nonsense for too long, let me go, I'm going to rest. Su Le interrupted him with a cold face, and didn't want to listen to him again, because the more he talked, the more Su Le felt that he was ridiculous before.
A woman who gave birth out of wedlock, and in this pedantic world, she still naively believes in love, isn't that ridiculous?
So now, no matter what Leng Junchou says, she won't believe it anymore, and it's not worth trusting.
"Lele ......"
Leng Junxuan opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but Su Le had already turned his head, looking like he didn't want to listen anymore.
Knowing that she wouldn't listen to what she said, and forcibly taking her away would also alarm the Praetorian Guards outside, Leng Junshu had no choice but to say: "Think about it again! This king will come to you again." β
With that, Leng Junxuan pushed open the window and quietly disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until Leng Junshu left that Su Le sat in the chair a little tremblingly, and he didn't know if he was angry about the past, or because the night breeze blew in from the windowsill and was a little cool.
Sleepless nights.
Early the next morning, Su Le was already sitting in the courtyard, and when he saw Su Le getting up so early, he was a little puzzled: "Girl, why did you get up so early?"
What time is it?
If it was usual, Su Le would have to sleep for at least another hour, and he would get up in the morning at her urging, but today he was so well-behaved and got up by himself so early, which made Yu Lian a little uncomfortable.
Su Le didn't look up, but rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "He's here!"
He?
She was stunned for a moment, and only then did she understand what Su Le meant, she hurriedly walked over and stood beside Su Le: "Girl, have you already seen him?"
Of course, she knew who he was referring to, but what she didn't expect was that Leng Junxuan would come so quickly and so quietly that even the Praetorian Guards didn't find out.
It seems that Prince Leng is Lord Leng, not a simple character.
"Last night!"
"And what did he say?"
Su Le sighed: "What else can I say, it's nothing more than to let me go back with him, but how is it possible." β
The revenge of her parents has not been avenged, and the enemy has not been found, it is impossible for Su Le to leave the northern country, and now let her go back?
It's naΓ―ve.
The reason why Emperor Zhou asked her to go back was not because he liked her business talent, but to put it bluntly, it was another secret war, he didn't want to cheapen the northern country, and he didn't want the southern country to fall into a crisis in the future.
It's just selfishly wanting to benefit from it, not really for her good.
Of course, Emperor Zhou thought so, and Emperor Zhao also thought so, but now Su Le still wants to find out the truth about Zhao Huangji and Sun Funiang back then, so he can't leave no matter what.
"Looks like we're going to have to step up our guard. Yu said pitifully.
However, as soon as her words fell, Su Le actually vetoed: "No, didn't you tell the people from the southern country next to you to come to me by doing this?
Hearing this, Yu Lian frowned slightly: "Girl, it's all this time, you don't still want to show mercy to your subordinates, do ......you?"
Yu Lian didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious, Su Le was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "How come, I just think that although Leng Junshu is sorry for me, but after all, he is guarding the Su family for me, so he should just return his favor." β
Just now, Su Le just subconsciously didn't want the northern side to know that Leng Junshu had already looked for her, and didn't think about it, but now that he said this, Su Le's heart sank a little.
Could it be that she can't let go of such a man who hurts herself?
No, no, no, it's impossible, Leng Junshu hurt her so much, how could she be nostalgic, she just wanted to repay him for coming forward to protect Su Mansion.
Right!
It must be so.
Su Le said that to herself in her heart, but she didn't know that the more she found a reason for herself, she was actually hiding her sincerity.
Su Le's words, Yu Pian couldn't find the words to refute, so she didn't say anything, and only after half a sound did she say, "Then do you still want to go to the food street to inspect today?"
Su Le goes to the food street almost every day, firstly, because she can get news from there, and secondly, because she doesn't want to make any mistakes in the world she has worked so hard to build, because she doesn't want to plan for another three years, so she has to take it step by step.
"Go, why not, it's weird not to go. Su Le said lightly.
Something that has to be done every day, obviously there is nothing special but she is absent for no reason, which will inevitably make people suspicious, and she can't dare to go out just because Leng Junchou is here.
Yu Lian nodded: "That's right, then do you eat in the house or go to the food street to eat?"
Su thought for a moment: "Let's be at home!" β
"Okay, I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare. With that, he retreated.
Not long after, Su Chen also got up in the morning.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Su Chen threw himself into Su Le's arms: "Mother, what are you eating today?"
"My son is hungry already?" Su Le gently touched his cerebellum with a kind smile on his face.
Su Chen nodded vigorously: "Hmm!"
Su Le smiled slightly: "Sister Youpian has already gone to let people prepare, it will be fine in a while, Chen'er, you are already eight years old, how about your mother send you to private school?"
Su Chen is already eight years old, not to mention this era, even in the twenty-first century, children of this age have already gone to school, but Su Chen has not yet.
Su Chen pouted: "Isn't it okay not to go?" The private school is not fun, and usually Sister Shuyue and Sister Shenyu have taught me to read and draw, and I can learn if I don't go!"
Su Chen had already begun to read and write, so even if he hadn't been to a private school, he knew what kind of place a private school was, but he didn't like those rules, and he had to stay there all day, how boring it was!
Hearing this, Su Le could only sigh, but he didn't force it: "That's okay! β
In fact, Su Le was thinking, after all, this is not his own force, and Su Chen has the advantage of not going, and there are closed moon and Shen Yu to teach him, even if he doesn't go, he won't fall too far behind.
And with Su Chen's cleverness, he may learn better than ordinary children, and Su Le also relaxed his heart when he thought about it.
After a while, the servants in the kitchen brought breakfast to them, and Su Le and Su Chen went to the food street after eating together, but there was also Su Chen, who was a little bit, saying that he wanted to go out to play in the house.
When he arrived at the food street, Su Le began to inspect the situation of the entire food street, and Su Chen was playing by himself, until Su Le was almost busy, when Shen Yu and Shuyue suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Girl, something happened, the little boy is gone. Closed Moon leaned on Su Le's ear and whispered, not daring to make a sound, and put a note in the panicked Su Le's hand as she spoke.
Su Le hurriedly looked at the note, the person who left the letter asked her to go to a place, and asked her to leave the Praetorian Guards and go alone, leaving a pen place......
"Leng Junchou, what do you want to do?" Su Le gritted his teeth, his voice seemed to be stuffed between his teeth, and he was angry and didn't dare to speak out.
"How did he take Chen'er away?" Knowing that it was Leng Junshu who took the person away, Su Le quickly calmed down, because she knew that Leng Junshu would not hurt Su Chen.
Hearing this, Closed Moon and Shen Yu lowered their heads guiltily, and Shen Yu said: "The little boy wants to go to the toilet, so we are waiting outside, but I didn't expect ......"
Shen Yu didn't finish his words, but Su Le already knew what had happened.
After all, Su Chen is a boy, a boy wants to go to the thatched house, and it is impossible for Shen Yu and Closed Moon to follow him inch by inch, so Leng Junshu has a chance to take advantage of it.
"Okay, don't make a noise about this, I'll leave through the window of the wing room in a while, you can occasionally bring some tea or something, don't let people in, naturally no one will find out." Su Le commanded softly.
"Girl, I'll go with you." β
"No, you can't, you can't smile, you are all my personal servants now, if you don't show up for a long time, the Praetorian Guards outside will definitely be suspicious. β
"Then we ......"
Without waiting for Shen Yu to finish speaking, Su Le shook his head again: "You can't do it either, you are Chen'er's maid, and Chen'er is following me, if you are not there, they will also be confused, so none of you can leave." β
"Don't worry, Leng Junshu still wants to find an enemy! he won't be unfavorable to me. Su Le added.
Hearing this, Shen Pi, Shen Yu, and Closed Moon had no choice but to be silent, only Shi Xiaoxiao frowned disapprovingly: "Girl, what if King Leng has a tough attitude and has to take you away? β
"Are you telling me to leave my son alone and just take revenge?" Su Le's sharp eyes flashed coldly, and Su Le was unhappy at Shixiao's words.
Xiaoxiao didn't mean that, Xiaoxiao wanted to say, do you want to summon a few senior brothers. Shi Xiaoxiao's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to see what she was thinking, but Su Le knew that in Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes, what Sun Zhiqian explained was important, and nothing else was important.
And Su Le also knew that whether it was Shi Xiaoxiao or Sun Zhiqian's apprentices, they all put revenge first.
"Xiaoxiao, I know what you or you all think, and I know what the order you have received is, but I tell you, if you want to go to the end, you have to listen to me, otherwise don't blame me for leaving it alone, then I want to see what you do to avenge my mother and my father. β
This plan is inseparable from Su Le, and only Su Le can get close to the center of the whirlpool, but so what?
Is she the real Su Yunle?
No, all she cares about is Su Chen, if Su Chen needs to make a choice between revenge, she will not hesitate to choose the former.
"Girl......"
"Shut your mouth and don't make me say it a second time, or I'll leave at once. Su Le said coldly.
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at her for a while, and then bowed his hand to Su Le and stepped aside, obviously compromised.
Seeing this, Su Lecai said, "You guys are guarding outside!"
After that, Su Le didn't care if he would agree with the smile, walked directly into the wing, and then quietly left through the window.
Su Le searched for the address in the letter and soon came to a remote courtyard.
The small courtyard was a courtyard house of a peasant family, with no majestic faΓ§ade or luxurious furnishings, only a simple courtyard and a few inconspicuous rooms.
"It's coming!"
As soon as Su Le stepped into the door, a voice had already sounded in her ears, Su Le looked back, and saw Leng Junchou walking towards him with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" Su Le looked coldly: "What about Chen'er?"
"I fell asleep in my room. β
"What did you do to him?" Su Le frowned.
Knowing what she was worried about, Leng Junshu said: "Don't worry, this king just ordered his sleeping hole and let him sleep, and it didn't hurt him." β
Hearing this, Su Le really breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Leng, I know your intentions, but I also tell you clearly that I will not go back with you, as for the reason, you can also understand that it is the same as you." β
"Same as this king?" Leng Jun was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Because he wanted to bring Su Chen back, and Su Le didn't want to fight with Leng Junchou at this time, he said: "I also need to find out about the death of my parents, just like you use me, don't you also have revenge to take revenge?" So I can't let go of what you can't let go, and it's even more impossible for me to go back with you at this time." β
Leng Junshu is a smart person, and he also understands something when Su Le says this.
Back then, Zhao Huangji, as the grandson of the eldest emperor, had the most hope of ascending the throne as the emperor, but he died, and there must be some unsavory conspiracy here.
Moreover, the road of the emperor has always been accompanied by bloody wind and rain, and it is a road dyed with blood, and Zhao Huangji's death may be the soul of someone else's emperor, which is not surprising.
But......
"Lele, if you want to take revenge on this king, I can help you, but you must go back with this king now, otherwise Emperor Zhou is not a paper tiger, and his majesty will never allow you to touch it. β
"You help me?" Su Le smiled, smiling a little sarcastically: "How can you help me? You are not from the North, how can you investigate deeply? You can't even touch the royal family of the North, what do you use to investigate? Or do you want to attack the North? Defeat the Northland and then interrogate them one by one?"
"If that's what you want, so can the king. β
Su Le shook his head and took a step back: "You're a madman, do you know how much blood will be shed in your way?"
Although the north and the south are not in harmony, they will not attack rashly, at most they will defend themselves, and the two sides must not cross the line, or play any conspiracy, but Leng Junchou's words just now are too frightening.
Taking the initiative to attack a country, it will be a river of blood, as a new human in the twenty-first century, Su Le does not like war, Leng Junxuan's words undoubtedly made Su Le feel afraid, because she didn't want to be the culprit.
"But if you want revenge, that seems to be the only way. Leng Junshu said helplessly, if you have to let Su Le go back, and you want to find out who killed Zhao Huangji and Sun Funiang back then, and only interrogated the members of the royal family after controlling the northern country, that is the best way.
Su Le shook his head: "But I don't like this way, and I don't like such an unprovoked war, so I want to find out the truth in my own way, in the fastest and most direct way, and with the least bloodshed." β
Zhao Huangji and Sun Funiang may have died at the hands of the royal family, but even so, not all royal families deserve to die.
There is a wrong, there is a debtor, she Su Le has clear grievances, she only kills those who should be killed, and will not affect the innocent.
"Lele ......"
"Needless to say, I won't go back, you go back and tell Emperor Zhou that if there is a war between the north and the south in the future, it has nothing to do with me Su Le, but if he wants to be unfavorable to me, I won't be afraid of him. β
"Lele, there are some things that others will believe if you say this, and even if this king passes them back, it doesn't mean anything. "Because Emperor Zhou won't believe it, even if he believes it, but if there is a threat, Emperor Zhou will get rid of it whether he believes it or not, so there is not much difference between saying it and not saying it.
"That's not my business, give me back the dust. Su Le said lightly.
"Lele ......"
"Give me back the dust. Su Le accentuated his voice.
Leng Jun's hands tightened, and he relaxed for a moment: "Okay, this king can return the dust to you, but you should also think about it, this king will stay in the northern country for a while, when you think clearly, you can come here to find this king at any time." β
Su Le sneered softly: "Are you afraid that I will tell the Praetorian Guard about this place?"
"This king believes that you won't, if you want to say, someone has already hunted down and killed this king last night, Lele, do you still have this king in your heart?" Speaking of this, Leng Junshu rarely smiled.
It was precisely because Su Le didn't call for someone to arrest her that Leng Junshu felt that she still had some status in Su Le's heart, otherwise she wouldn't care about her life or death.
Su Le smiled coldly: "Lord Leng, you think too much, the reason why I didn't call someone to arrest you is because I know that you have guarded the Su Mansion, and I am just returning your favor, and it has nothing to do with anything else." β
Hearing this, the smile on Leng Jun's face disappeared: "Lele, can't we start over?
Su Le looked at him, just looked at him, and after half a sound, she said softly: "I don't hate you, but I don't love you anymore." β
A touch of pain flashed in Leng Jun's eyes, and his heart seemed to be hollowed out.
Don't hate, don't love?
It's heart-wrenching.
If Su Le still hates herself, Leng Junchou feels that she still has a chance, because if there is no love, where does the hatred come from, but Su Le said that she doesn't hate him anymore, does that mean that she really doesn't love herself anymore?
After that, Su Le took Su Chen away.
At this moment, as soon as Su Le left with his front foot, Tianzhuo came over with his back foot: "Master, why did you let Miss Su take Su Chen away? You let their mother and son go, next time Miss Su will definitely be on guard, then it will be even more difficult to take Miss Su away." β
Leng Jun sighed: "This king doesn't want to take her away, but this king doesn't want to use this way, let's take a look again! β
Su Le was already extremely disappointed in him, and Leng Junchou didn't want to disappoint her even more, so Leng Junchou didn't want to force her until he had to.
Hearing this, Tianzhuo could only shake his head, and said secretly in his heart: What is the situation in the world?
