Chapter 1301: The Emperor Is Pregnant 15
It seems that even she herself did not realize that this placement was done with emotion.
So much so that when it was placed on the stone table, it made a loud thud.
Situ Xiu looked at Su Yan, a smile curled at the corner of his cool, thin lips.
"What? Has my walnut offended Guard Song?"
Su Yan kept her head down.
"No."
"Then where does Guard Song get such a big temper from?"
Su Yan remained silent with her head down.
She wanted to go back and be the Empress today.
Situ Xiu noticed her unusual behavior and took another look.
Originally, there were more teasing words behind, but he chose not to say them.
Instead, it was the words from that maid just now.
That caught Situ Xiu’s attention.
He questioned the maid.
"Do you know Guard Song?"
The maid was immediately attentive since the Prince asked her to speak.
Of course, she must assist her mistress.
"Prince, when miss arrived, she was pushed to the ground by that Guard Song, causing her hand to be bruised in blue."
Su Yan listened and raised her head to look at the maid.
The maid glared at Su Yan,
"You, a lowly guard, dare to offend my mistress like this; how could the Prince spare you?"
While the maid spoke, Ning Zhi reached out and held the maid’s hand.
"Xiao Tao, stop talking. It’s alright with me. I fell on my own."
Her eyes filled with tears, she forced a smile.
That manner only made people think that Miss Ning Zhi was kindly and magnanimous, not arguing with servants.
Moreover, it solidified the matter of Su Yan pushing people.
Ning Zhi raised her hand to wipe her tears, her wide sleeves brushing repeatedly across the edge of the Imperial Concubine Chair.
Being too close, the scent of rouge drifted towards Situ Xiu.
He slightly furrowed his brows.
But quickly relaxed.
He spoke calmly,
"Stand up."
Ning Zhi wiped her tears and stood up.
Supported by the maid, looking very delicate and fragile.
Su Yan pursed her lips.
She kept her head down, saying nothing.
She didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
Situ Xiu turned his head to look at Su Yan, his lips couldn’t help but curve up.
"Doesn’t Guard Song plan to give an explanation?"
Su Yan remained silent, still not speaking.
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment,
"If you don’t speak, it’s defaulting. The consequence would then be the charge of defying your superiors."
Su Yan still said nothing.
As if showing an attitude of ’punish me however you wish’.
He paused a bit.
"Also, you’ll have to crack two hundred pounds of walnuts."
Su Yan immediately raised her head.
And then met that smiling expression.
She pursed her lips.
Walked forward to Ning Zhi, raised her hand, and pushed Ning Zhi.
Su Yan’s hand seemed fair and soft, yet that push went out like a massive rock hitting someone.
The master and servant duo couldn’t help but retreat altogether, directly tumbling down the pavilion steps.
"Ah!!"
They exclaimed as they fell to the ground.
Su Yan spoke earnestly,
"If I had pushed you, it certainly wouldn’t just be a bruise on your hand."
There would also be dislocations and fractures.
Situ Xiu was stunned, then burst into laughter.
He didn’t know why, but this guard he recruited, every action she took, was so appealing.
Just felt she was in alignment with his taste in every way.
Even her somewhat angry and sullen manner earlier was pleasing to him.
Situ Xiu raised his hand, pulling Su Yan’s wrist and bringing her closer to him.
"Guard Song seems to be in a bad mood."
He chuckled gently.
Noticing, he was in a good mood.
Su Yan looked at him, then at Ning Zhi and her maid being helped away by two other guards.
Her voice was gentle and soft,
"Your subordinate wants to go back."
Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow.
So angry?
