Chapter 32: Leaving the Palace
"Since Your Majesty wants to reward the little girl, please also ask Your Majesty to let the little girl choose the reward by herself. Su Yan continued to say respectfully.
"What reward do you want?"
"The little girl only needs one thing, Tianshan Snow Lotus. ”
Since ancient times, swords have been matched with heroes, and red powder has been given to beautiful women. At a young age, you have become a three-star pharmacist, and you will be a treasure medicine for you to use. Come on, the snow lotus of the mountain came up that day. The Emperor said with a smile.
"Tsk. ”
Su Yan looked at the Tianshan Snow Lotus that was presented in the jade box, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you Your Majesty for the reward, the little girl must remember it in her heart." ”
"Haha! Today I am happy to be a good minister, and thanks to this hundred flowers banquet held by the concubine, the gift offered by the concubine today, I like it very much in my heart, and I will drive the Huaqing Palace tonight. The Emperor stood up and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The concubine was immediately overjoyed and bowed to see her off.
The queen's face was immediately a little embarrassed, her eyes swept at Su Yan, and she also got up to send her off.
Su Yan looked at the scattered banquet, and the surrounding children of the official family who did not dare to approach, smiled coldly, drank all the wine in front of him, and got up to leave.
"Stop!"
Behind the Imperial Garden, the four princes, dressed in a soft smoke robe, with a stone blue geometric pattern silver belt tied around his waist, blocked Su Yan's whereabouts, and his expression was rarely solemn: "When you want to enter the library on that day, it is to investigate the princess of the country?"
"This matter has nothing to do with His Highness. Su Yan said coldly.
The fourth prince said solemnly: "I warn you, it's best to mention the matter of the princess of the country, otherwise, it will definitely bring you death!"
Su Yan smiled and played with a strand of hair: "In my life, my hands are destined to be stained with blood, not much more of this one, and less of this one is not less." Please also ask Your Highness not to worry about the little girl. ”
"You! I just watched your sword dance, and there was still nostalgia between my eyebrows, this princess who protects the country, but who are you?" asked the fourth prince.
Su Yan smiled and avoided answering: "Your Highness has time to care about the little girl's affairs, so it is better to assist Your Majesty and share your Majesty's worries." The little girl packed up her things and prepared to leave the palace. ”
"I know that you are extraordinarily talented, but you are not afraid, in the recruitment competition of the Five Great Sword Academies in Japan, you will be killed by the people of the National Teacher's lineage? I can remind you that this National Teacher's Bloodline has now recruited five or six contestants who are expected to be ranked in the top ten this time, your actions today will definitely anger the queen and the national teacher, and in the coming competition, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Su Yan smiled: "This national teacher is in the same vein, recruiting so many future geniuses, the most worrying thing is not the little girl, but His Royal Highness, right?"
"What does this matter have to do with His Royal Highness?" the fourth prince shook his folding fan and turned to the side.
"Also, now that the crown prince has been established and is the nephew of the national teacher, His Royal Highness is naturally devoted to the mountains and rivers, and his ears don't hear anything outside the window, so he has nothing to worry about. Su Yan smiled, turned around and left.
The fourth prince looked at Su Yan's departing figure with a deep gaze, and slowly said to the phantom behind him: "Send someone to keep an eye on her for me... If someone else is following, you won't wait!"
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
Late at night, in the inn.
Su Yan swallowed a furnace of elixir refined from the Tianshan Snow Lotus, slowly ran the Nine Dragons Ten Elephant Gong Exercises, and began to recover his true qi.
However, the Teng Snake in her mind was still chattering: "I thought that you would poison and kill that queen, who would have thought that you would just dance a sword dance!"
Su Yan said coldly: "A sword dance is enough to make Your Majesty remember what my mother did for him, and it can also make Your Majesty remember what the Si Kou family did in the past.
"But he hasn't touched the Si Kou family for so many years, what can you do if you just dance?"
Su Yan smiled: "Why do you think the queen was assassinated in such a heavily guarded capital, and why can't even the perpetrator be caught?"
"You mean... Is this what the emperor did for a long time?" said Teng Snake in surprise.
Su Yan said softly: "Even if it wasn't his mastermind, he deliberately let it go." Do you think it's so easy to make a living in that huge palace? There, it's all human spirits. ”
"Chatter, funny, really funny!" Teng Snake laughed like a joke, and suddenly said: "It's just that now, you have become the target of everyone, not only the prince and the fourth prince are eyeing you, but the queen, that Miss Tang, and the national teacher are all eyeing you." You can't make a mistake now, or you'll have to suffer with you!"
"The enemy of this enemy is a friend, I can't say anything about others, but these four princes are far from being as simple as they seem. Su Yan smiled and affirmed: "Besides, now that I am in the imperial capital, and I am a meritorious minister who has just saved the queen, no one will touch me in the slightest, and I have to send someone to protect me, otherwise, it will be to smear His Majesty and Niangniang." ”
After a night, after taking the elixir refined by Tianshan Snow Lotus, Su Yan's true qi in her body had recovered sixty percent, and just as she pushed open the door and wanted to go out to practice swords, she ushered in an uninvited guest.
