The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 8
There seemed to be countless tight strings in her mind, and she didn't dare to think about it, because even if she thought about something that might happen, she only felt a splitting headache.

In the midst of extreme tension, Su Mo stretched out his hand again and pinched her chin lightly: "It seems that you are terrified?"

Yes, she was afraid, very afraid.

Jinse stared at him with wide eyes, but because the bed curtain blocked the dim light, she couldn't see his appearance clearly in the end, even his eyes, ears, mouth and nose could not be distinguished.

However, he could still vaguely distinguish the sound of breathing that was getting closer and closer to him.

Jinse held her breath suddenly, and in the next moment, a pair of warm, soft and moist lips fell on her lips/petals, touching them like a dragonfly.

The tense strings in Jinse's mind were all broken.

Su Mo's hand has already touched her face again, and his voice is light: "Then today is considered—"

Before the word "le" could be uttered, the voice suddenly stopped.

He touched her face wet.

Su Mo sat up straight, and withdrew his hand lightly, his tone was a little faded: "Come here, hold the lamp."

Soon a maid came in, took a fire bag, and lit every candle in the room one by one.

Su Mo sat by the bed and tidied his cuffs. After tidying up, the room gradually became brighter.

Jinse's face, which was buried deep in the quilt, became clear little by little.

The moment Su Mo turned his head lightly, he suddenly stopped, and all his previously carefree eyes were concentrated in one place, obviously shocked: "Jinse?"

Jinse closed her eyes, and when she heard him call out her name in surprise, another tear welled up in the corner of her eyes.

Su Mo stood up abruptly, quickly put down the curtain hanging on the bed, covered the brocade tightly, and isolated himself, before looking out the window: "Begonia!"

It was quiet outside the window, no one answered.

In the bed tent, Jinse's breathing gradually became a little heavy because of tears, and it was heard clearly in Su Mo's ears.

Su Moqi's smile disappeared very rarely, and finally called the previous maid to come in again, and said in a deep voice: "Go and find a set of clean clothes."

The servant girl responded and left in a hurry.

Su Mo raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, then looked at the hanging curtain, after all, he didn't go over to ask Jinse what happened, but instead walked towards the door.

Just as he walked to the door, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang"!

The person who pushed the door was a man who looked like a palace guard. When he saw him standing behind the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and stood in the distance with his mouth wide open. He didn't know what to do?
"What are you in a daze for?" There was a scolding sound from behind the guard, and then, an exquisite figure slowly stepped forward.

Su Mo frowned slightly, his eyes became indifferent again.

Dressed up in men's clothing, Qing Chu strode towards the door. When she saw Su Mo, she froze suddenly. After a while, she stammered, "Second...Second Brother? Why are you?"

Su Mo lightly folded his arms: "Qingchu, why is it you?"

Qingchu's face changed suddenly, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes, and he shrank his neck: "I'm curious, I came here to have a look... I never thought I would run into my second brother."

"Yeah." Su Mo smiled suddenly, his eyes darkened, "What if the person you bump into right now isn't me?"

Qingchu shrunk her neck again, bit her lip, still felt unwilling, and finally couldn't help raising her head: "Second brother, did you and that Song Jinse—"

Su Mo looked at her, but the smile on his lips could not be suppressed at all, Qing Chu stopped abruptly, not daring to ask any more questions.

The previous maid just happened to come over with a stack of clean clothes. Qing Chu glanced at her, then at Su Mo, who was neatly dressed and not at all in a panic. Finally, knowing that nothing happened, she couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

Su Mo pretended not to see her, and said, "What did you feed her?"

"Scattered Fragrance Pills." Qing Chu replied sullenly, and then explained, "It's just to make her unable to move or speak, and she will be fine after three hours."

Su Mo stopped talking for a while, Qing Chu thought for a while, and said: "Second brother, today I will pretend that I have never seen you, and you have never seen me, okay?"

She really didn't expect Su Mo to appear in this matter.If Su Li or the Queen Mother knew about this matter directly, Qing Chu would not be afraid, but if Su Mo told them, Qing Chu would not dare to think about the consequences.In this world, the only person who can scare her is this second brother.He will never have to do anything himself, but Qingchu has suffered so much because of him since he was a child, it can be said that life is worse than death.

Qing Chu originally thought that he would not let him go if he got involved in this matter this time, but unexpectedly heard Su Mo say indifferently: "Okay." Qing Chu still couldn't believe it: "Really? "

Su Mo smiled: "You hope it's fake?"

Qing Chu shuddered suddenly: "Of course I listen to my second brother, I'll go first."

Su Mo saw her leave and heard noises coming from the room. After listening carefully for a while, he also lifted his foot and left.

Jin Se still didn't have any strength in her body, so she had no choice but to hold back her tears, watching the maidservant dress herself up little by little, the sadness in her heart still didn't lessen.

After changing her clothes, the maid didn't know what to do, so she turned and walked out of the room to ask Su Mo for instructions, but Su Mo had already left.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noisy and messy voices in the distance, as if the soldiers were in chaos.The voice gradually approached, but they all came together neatly.

It was the footsteps of the army.

Outside the garden, Su Li rode a maroon horse. After the army dispersed, he rode the horse into the small courtyard in front of him.

The maid standing in the corridor was already frightened by the voices outside, but when she saw a man riding a tall horse rushing in, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground.

Su Li's face sank like water, he got off his horse, passed by the maidservant directly, opened the door and entered, came to the side of the bed and raised the curtain.

Jinse lay there with her eyes closed and her clothes on, but her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

Su Li's eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand to take off his cloak and put it on her, then hugged her horizontally.

Jinse was startled, and opened her eyes. Although she saw him, it took a long time for the panic in her eyes to gradually dissipate.

Su Li couldn't help but look even more serious, covered Jinse's head with a cloak, turned around and walked out of the room with her in his arms.

Linglong Garden was already in chaos at this time.The girls and guests in each small courtyard were searched out by the army brought by Su Li, because they were all people who were either rich or noble, everyone was treated like this, and everyone was full of anger. When a woman appeared in Su Li, most people's anger turned to panic.

Among these people, there are not a few who recognize Su Li, and Su Li also recognizes quite a few, but he just glanced at the faces of the people present, keeping his expression on.

"My lord, everyone in Linglong Garden is here, except someone from Haitang Garden who has never come out."

Su Li put Jinse on the horse's back, and got on the horse himself, still protecting her body in his arms, before he said in a deep voice: "If you don't come out, I will catch her out."

As soon as the words fell, a guard suddenly rushed over and whispered back: "My lord, it's the King of Qin."

Su Li's eyes froze suddenly, and when he looked up, Su Mo was walking slowly, with light clothes on his belt, his eyebrows bright: "The third brother is in such a big battle, why is that?"

Jinse who was hidden deep in the cloak was shocked when she heard his voice, but she could only lean against Su Li's arms lightly, unable to move.

"So the second brother is also there." Su Li slightly smiled, but his voice was extremely cold, "It's not a big deal, but I disturbed the second brother, please forgive me."

Su Mo nodded, looked at the man in front of Su Li who was covered by the cloak, and said, "Is that all done?"

"Yes, I was planning to leave." Su Li tightened the reins in his hand, "Don't bother the second brother."

"Go." Su Mo gave way with a deep smile.

Su Li pulled the rein with one hand and protected the Jinse with the other, and galloped away.

After returning to the palace, not long after Su Li returned to the room with Jinse in his arms, Jinse finally regained some strength and seemed to be able to make some sounds, so he called out hoarsely: "Luhe?"

After a while, Lu He pushed the door open and came in, and hurried forward: "Miss, are you alright?"

Jinse sat up weakly and shook her head: "It's okay. I'm hungry. You can get me something to eat."

"Supper and porridge are prepared outside. I'll help you out." Lu He said while carefully helping Jinse.

Jinse didn't want to move, but thought that she had been lying down for almost a whole day, so she followed Lu He out of the room, unexpectedly when she came to the living room, she suddenly saw Su Li still sitting there, with a few delicate expressions on her face. Small dish, slowly drinking a bowl of porridge.

Jinse suddenly understood the reason why Lvhe wanted to come out by herself, but she couldn't do it anymore if she wanted to go back, so she had to bite the bullet and stepped forward, reluctantly bowing: "My lord."

Su Li's face was still not very good-looking: "There is no need to be too polite."

Only then did Jinse sit down at the side, watching Luhe's action of taking the porridge, and finally said: "Thank you, my lord, today."

Su Li looked up at her, only to see that she was still pale, her eyes were slack, she paused for a while, and didn't say anything.

Jinse took the porridge filled with green lotus, lowered her head and ate silently.

As the porcelain spoon brushed against her lips repeatedly, Jinse seemed to think of something suddenly, her movements gradually slowed down, and she sat there stiffly.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Su Li took some tea to rinse his mouth.

"Is the prince leaving?" Lu He asked while pushing Jin Se quietly.

Jinse didn't respond.

Su Li wiped his hands with the handkerchief again, and then looked at the silent Jinse again, seeing that she was too distracted, he didn't say anything, stood up and left.

"Miss!" As soon as Su Li left, Lu He couldn't help but yelled with her hands on her hips.

Jinse came back to her senses: "What?"

"What happened? Why do you look so out of your mind?"

"It's okay." Jinse replied, threw away the porcelain spoon, picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls, finished the bowl of porridge in two or three bites, then passed the bowl to Lu He, "Put another bowl .”

The next day, Su Li entered the palace very early.

When Qingchu was dragged out of the bed by him, it was still dark.Naturally, Qingchu couldn't stand such treatment, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Su Li looked at her coldly: "Come here, change the princess' clothes, and send the princess to Minshan."

"Min Shan?" Qing Chu's expression changed upon hearing this: "I won't go! Third brother, why did you send me to that ghostly place?"

Minshan is located more than 300 miles outside Qingzhou City, the imperial capital, and it is quiet and green all year round.There is a palace built on the mountain for the royal family to escape from the summer heat.But to Qingchu, it was a deserted ghost place with nothing.

Su Li's face was gloomy, beyond doubt, Qing Chu suddenly understood something: "What did Second Brother tell you? He promised me not to say it!"

"Second brother?" Su Li sneered, "You think I don't know what you did if he didn't tell you? You didn't even serve the princess to change clothes!"

"Second brother didn't say anything, why did you treat me like this?" Qing Chu shouted, "You want to send me to Minshan because of that Song Jinse?"

Su Li brushed away the hand she was holding on to his cuff, and turned to leave.

Qingchu was anxious: "You actually bullied me for Song Jinse! Then the second brother and Song Jinse were in the same room for so long yesterday, why didn't you go to him to seek justice for your princess?"

Qingchu has been manipulated since she was a child, and has reached the point of lawlessness, but she never thought that she would be punished by Su Li in this way today. When she was angry and anxious, she could only bring up the matter of Su Mo and Jinse, and only hoped that Su Li would turn to her. Deal with the second brother, let yourself go.

Su Li's expression froze.

Seeing this, Qingchu hurriedly said: "Fortunately, I went early, otherwise the second brother and her might not know what happened! However, before I went, who knew what had happened to them! Third brother, It's not like you don't know about the second brother, there are endless tricks to deal with those women, I think you'd better be careful, maybe your princess has already been seduced by the second brother—"

"Princess..." Qing Chu was eagerly analyzing the current situation to Su Li, when suddenly a timid voice from a palace maid sounded outside the door, causing Qing Chu to be furious: "What are you arguing about?"

The maid outside the door was almost crying: "Go back to the princess, the empress is dead."

Qing Chu was startled, Su Li also came back to his senses, glanced coldly at Qing Chu, and said without regard to other things, "Why don't you go to Kangshou Palace to accompany your mother?"

Qing Chu replied in a panic, put on her shoes in a panic, and Su Li had already turned around and strode away.

Naturally, there was great chaos in the palace that day, and Jinse was taken into the palace together. Although she still didn't seem to be able to recover from what happened yesterday, fortunately, she only entered the palace to guard the queen's spirit, and there was no need to spend money. How thoughtful.

All the concubines and concubines of the harem had already gathered in the hall where the queen’s coffin was parked, as well as the relatives and family members of the emperor who came one after another. They all knelt in the hall, crying for real or not. It's so sad.

At noon, the crowd gradually dispersed, Jinse's mind flew far away, and she still knelt there motionless.Seeing that the people in the hall had almost dispersed, Lvhe behind her was about to remind her, but suddenly a person came up from behind, and stretched out her hand to give Jinse a hand: "The deceased is dead, Princess Ning, please mourn."

Jinse came back to her senses suddenly, but saw that it was Rongyue, for some reason, she shrank in her heart, and forced a smile: "Thank you, Princess Side." After speaking, she stood up with difficulty.

Rong Yue smiled faintly: "How about having lunch with me?"

Jinse exhaled slightly, and said: "No need, I don't have much appetite, I want to go for a walk in the imperial garden, please feel free to be my concubine."

Although it was already October, the weather today seemed to be returning to summer. After walking a few steps with Lvhe, Jinse felt that she couldn't hold on, so she turned to the waterfront corridor.

The cool breeze blowing in the long corridor was supposed to be refreshing and pleasant, but Jinse's heart became inexplicably agitated.

"Miss." Lu He suddenly reached out and tugged at her, looking at the other side of the corridor and said, "It's the second master."

Jinse's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head to look, only to see Su Mo walking from the other end.

Today he was wearing a black court dress, an official hat and a jade belt around his waist, and he did not have the usual frivolous smile on his face. He had a rare serious look, a handsome figure, and an extraordinary bearing. He really had the appearance that a prince should have.

Su Mo obviously saw her too, but his footsteps still didn't stop, and he gradually came towards her.

Jinse turned around abruptly, pulled Lvhe and left.

Facing him, Su Li, who was wearing the same imperial uniform, happened to also walk up the corridor, looked at Jinse face to face for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Su Mo behind her.

Seeing the rare flicker in Jinse's eyes, Su Li's face darkened slightly: "I don't know how to salute when I see my second brother, you have learned the rules well enough!"

Jinse didn't like being criticized the most, so she raised her head and glared at Su Li for a moment.

Su Li's eyes darkened.

Jinse immediately realized what she had done before, and hurriedly bowed her head and smiled apologetically: "What the lord taught me is that my concubine was in disrespect for a while, please forgive me."

Behind him, Su Mo's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped.

Jinse thought to herself, in fact, it's not a big deal, she has a clear conscience, why should she hide from this person?Thinking of this, he finally turned to face Su Mo, lowered his body and said, "Brother-in-law Qin Wang is well."

This title is really weird, Su Li frowned slightly, and Su Mo was also slightly taken aback, before he smiled: "No need to be polite."

Only then did Jinse stand upright, staring at Su Mo with clear and watery eyes, as if she wanted to see something from his face.

Su Mo's expression was also calm, allowing her to stare at him without even avoiding her eyes.

Jinse cursed inwardly, and suddenly heard Su Li say from behind: "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet." Jinse replied truthfully.

"Wait for me at Ouxiangzhai." Su Li lightly raised his hand, pointing in the direction where Su Mo came.

To be freed from these two people, Jinse naturally wished for it, but when she thought of having dinner with Su Li at the same table, she suddenly felt miserable.Helpless, but still had to obey orders.

Only then did Su Li look at Su Mo: "Second brother, is he going to Shoukang Palace? I just came over there, and the queen mother suffered from a headache, and she has already rested. Second brother will not be able to see him when he goes there."

Su Mo nodded when he heard the words: "In that case, I'd better go back to the emperor's brother."

"Second brother." Su Li suddenly called him again.

Su Mo slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Third Brother, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Sure enough, Su Li stopped playing around, and narrowed his eyes lightly: "Second brother naturally knows what happened in Linglong Garden last night. Even if second brother doesn't care about being a younger brother, he should also take care of his own identity."

Su Mo frowned slightly, but still smiled: "Why does the third brother think that what happened in Linglong Garden last night? As a brother, he has no good reputation, but it's fine, but Jinse is your newcomer." My princess, and my daughter's family, how can I stand up to such rumors and slanders?"
