Chapter 1306: The Emperor Is Expecting 20
Su Yan looked at him, seeming very happy.
She nodded earnestly.
"Hmm."
Her eyes were wet, sincere, and serious.
Situ Xiu leaned against her, his head resting on her shoulder.
He laughed out loud.
"Guard Song is really bold."
After hearing this, Su Yan shook her head.
"Not really."
As she spoke, she hugged him a little tighter.
She was the Empress; no one had more authority than her.
So, it wasn’t really being bold.
Situ Xiu lifted his eyelids, looking at the bite mark he made.
A purple bruise, with traces of blood.
He leaned over and kissed it.
His voice was slow.
"Since Guard Song is so eager about me, there are some things that need to be clarified."
She was puzzled.
"What things?"
"Everything of yours is mine.
If I ever see you casually giving your personal items to others again, I’ll take your head along with them."
Uh...
This logic doesn’t seem quite right.
But this person didn’t give Su Yan any time to think.
He spoke in a deep voice.
"Do you understand?"
That voice, that tone, that look—it wasn’t a question, it was a threat.
Su Yan nodded.
"I understand."
Su Yan obediently hugged him.
Not letting him slip because of the smooth silk of her clothes.
She seemed to recall something.
"Then, Guard Wang Lin..."
"Who is Wang Lin now? Did you also give him a wallet?"
Su Yan instinctively shook her head, then nodded again after shaking.
"The one kneeling outside, that’s Guard Wang Lin."
It was fine until she brought him up, then Situ Xiu’s tone became particularly, oddly.
"What? You want to plead for him?"
Just as Su Yan was about to nod, he casually said,
"It’s probably too late to plead now; his head is likely already gone.
I’ll be merciful and allow him to be buried, how about that?"
Su Yan’s eyes widened slightly.
"You..."
He lifted his eyelids.
"Is Guard Song going to get angry for him?"
Su Yan spoke up.
"Not exactly.
He has nothing to do with me; his life or death isn’t my concern.
However, I don’t want him to die because of me.
I would feel indebted."
Owing favors or things like that.
She didn’t particularly like it.
Situ Xiu was amused by Su Yan’s words about it not being her concern.
He stood up straight.
He spoke.
"Chi Xing."
"Yes!"
A respectful, cold voice sounded from outside.
Situ Xiu said,
"Let that guard go."
Outside, Chi Xing was momentarily stunned.
"By now, he’s likely been taken to the execution grounds for beheading.
I’ll go and see."
Saying that, Chi Xing disappeared in an instant.
An hour later, after Su Yan and Situ Xiu finished eating.
Chi Xing came to report that the man was still alive and had been rescued.
If they had been a moment later, Wang Lin would have likely died at the burial grounds.
When Wang Lin returned, he was reportedly so terrified that he went back to his room to rest.
Su Yan was biting on a piece of tofu.
The food before her was piled up like a small mountain.
Situ Xiu didn’t eat much, mostly just gave her food.
He didn’t seem hungry and enjoyed it thoroughly.
The first time he saw Su Yan eat, he couldn’t help but want to feed her.
He didn’t know why, but watching her eat improved his mood.
As they were eating, Chi Xing’s voice came from outside.
"Prince, Miss Ning Zhi is here."
The moment Su Yan heard that Ning Zhi was here, her eating paused, and she slowed down.
She sat there silently, just eating continuously.
Situ Xiu didn’t respond.
As if he hadn’t heard, he just kept giving Su Yan food.
Until Chi Xing spoke again.
"Prince, Miss Ning Zhi says she has an urgent matter to report to you."
At this moment, Situ Xiu finally spoke.
"Let her in."
The hall door opened.
