Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 718 The Childhood Sweetheart Used as a Shield (28)

As darkness fell, strings of lanterns lit up along both sides of the river, creating a unique and poignant atmosphere.

After Su Youbai arrived, Wang Chunling, being carefree, quickly forgot about his presence and chatted with Mu Zhou for a long time.

We stayed for quite a while before reluctantly leaving.

Before leaving, she made sure to arrange to meet Mu Zhou again.

Li Ying'er has also been pulled out of the river.

Su Youbai issued an imperial decree, saying that Li Ying'er missed the Empress Dowager and was deeply moved by her filial piety, so she was allowed to enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager when she was ill.

Now the gates of the Empress Dowager's Kangtai Palace are tightly closed, and not a single word can get out. Nobody knows what it's like inside.

With Li Ying'er's departure, she will likely disappear completely, just like the Empress Dowager.

Even though she caused a huge scene at home, she couldn't change the imperial decree. Her family forcibly tied her up and sent her to Kangtai Palace, hoping that Su Youbai could calm his anger.

On Mu Zhou's side, she was dizzy and resting her chin on her hand, looking at the shore with a contented expression.

Su Youbai stared at her and silently drank a glass of fruit wine.

Just like the sweet and sour smell she carried.

Slightly tipsy, Mu Zhou was much less reserved in front of Su Youbai. She asked:

Why would the Emperor come?

Her charming eyes and sweet voice captivated Su Youbai's heart.

He swallowed hard and spoke the truth bluntly:

"want to see you."

"..."

He was somewhat dissatisfied when he didn't receive a reply from Mu Zhou.

"You don't want to see me?"

Mu Zhou closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep:

"My head is spinning, Your Majesty. I want to go back."

Su Youbai laughed angrily, gritting his teeth.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and picked Mu Zhou up in his arms.

"what……"

Mu Zhou suddenly leaped into the air and instinctively wrapped his arms around Su Youbai's neck.

She dared not pretend to be asleep any longer, and could only look at Su Youbai with a wronged expression:

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Aren't you dizzy? I'll carry you back."

"Need not……"

Meeting the dark, brooding light in Su Youbai's eyes, Mu Zhou had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Fortunately, the carriage was right there after we disembarked from the boat, and no one saw us.

Seeing that she was pretending to be drunk again and closing her eyes to avoid attention, Su Youbai couldn't help but pinch her cheek:

"You seduced me in every way back then, and now that you've got me, you're abandoning me after you've won me over?"

Mu Zhou instantly opened his eyes and defended himself:

"When have I ever seduced Your Majesty?"

Su Youbai remained calm:

“In the palace, you tried to seduce me at every turn.”

Otherwise, why is it that every time she appears in front of him, she can so easily capture his heart?

Although he guessed part of the truth, how could Mu Zhou possibly admit it?

She retorted:

"Your Majesty has wronged me; I have no wrongdoing."

In a fit of pique, she struggled to get off Su Youbai's lap.

Su Youbai pinched her waist to stop her from moving, feeling somewhat helpless as he faced her for the first time.

"Fine, it's all my fault. You didn't do anything, but I'm always hooked up with you, okay?"

Mu Zhou was finally satisfied, pouting and no longer struggling.

Su Youbai's eyes darkened, and the next moment he pressed his lips to hers.

Inside the carriage afterwards, all that could be heard was Mu Zhou's suppressed and broken voice.

*

Su Youbai originally wanted to have dinner with Mu Zhou before returning to the palace, but Mu Zhou disagreed. In the end, he was not even allowed to enter the Mu family's gate and was forcibly sent back.

On the way back, he suddenly realized that Mu Zhou was far too arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all.

But he found Mu Zhou's coquettishness and capriciousness particularly endearing, and couldn't bear to frighten her in the slightest.

Forget it.

This is her future wife.

His empress did not need to show him the same respect and fear as others.

It was enough for her to simply admire him.

Su Youbai quickly calmed himself down.

*

Bandits were rampant in Jingzhou, and Su Youze was ordered to suppress them.

But when I returned, I found that everything had changed.

He rushed into the palace.

"Brother, what's going on between you and Miss Mu?"

Su Youbai was reviewing memorials without even looking up:

"You have no manners, that's your sister-in-law."

The cold warning failed to calm Su Youze down.

He just felt it was too much.

At that time, he said Mu Zhou was interesting and cared about her a lot. Later, after hearing about Qin Yansi, he felt even more sorry for her.

He couldn't help but mention Mu Zhou to his elder brother, the emperor, and before he knew it, he was sent to suppress bandits a few days later.

When he returned, Mu Zhou became his sister-in-law.

Now that the die is cast, he has no chance at all.

This must have been done intentionally by my elder brother!

"Your Majesty, how could you steal someone else's love? You know perfectly well what I feel for her..."

"Su Youze".

Su Youbai lifted her eyelids and gave him a cold glance.

Su Youze felt a chill run down his spine and silently shut his mouth, but his eyes still held a hint of resentment.

Mu Zhou was definitely taken by force!

Su Youbai could naturally see through his thoughts, and he offered a rare explanation, his tone calm yet tinged with pleasure:

“I did not force her; she herself loved me.”

Su Youze opened his mouth in disbelief.

how could this be...

But his elder brother had no reason to lie to him.

My elder brother would never stoop to lying about such a thing.

It turns out that Mu Zhou was attracted to men like his elder brother.

Su Youze lowered his head in disappointment.

Watching him leave, Su Youbai felt no guilt whatsoever.

In the past, perhaps Mu Zhou was unwilling.

But now, Mu Zhou and he are clearly in love.

She even acted spoiled and threw tantrums at him.

If she didn't love him, why would she do this?

He didn't exactly lie to Su Youze.

Thinking of this, he summoned Huang Qing.

"Send the silkworm feathers and gold threads that were presented as tribute to the Mu family."

The silkworm feathers and golden threads shimmered exceptionally brightly, and the pale golden light covering her body made her look like a fairy descending to earth.

The weather has warmed up considerably, making it perfect for making an outer garment.

That fabric was precious, and only a few bolts were produced each year. It was only delivered to the palace today, and with a wave of his hand, he directly gave it to Mu Zhou.

Huang Qing received the order and immediately went to the Mu residence.

Mu Zhou was no longer surprised by those few bolts of fabric.

As the wedding date drew closer, Su Youbai's gifts became more and more frequent.

He would have things delivered to him almost every day.

Of course, he himself was also elusive, appearing beside her from time to time.

Fenyu looked at the fabric and was overjoyed:

"Miss, this is the first time I've ever seen silkworm feathers and gold thread. It would look beautiful if it were made into an outer garment."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say and make it into an outer garment."

Fenyu happily took it to the embroiderer.

Mu Zhou sat at his desk and slowly practiced calligraphy.

As evening approached, Su Youbai suddenly appeared in her courtyard without any warning.

At that time, Mu Zhou had just changed his clothes and was about to go out to release the lanterns.

Su Youbai's expression was a little off. When he saw Mu Zhou's outfit for going out, a dark and unreadable look flashed in his eyes.

"Where?"

Mu Zhou spoke the truth:

"Go release the lanterns with Chunling, why is the Emperor here?"

Su Youbai stepped forward, revealing the outline of his face, which had been hidden in the shadows, under the lantern.

His expression was cold, and his aura exuded a chilling stillness.

When he spoke again, his voice had regained some warmth, but it was still somewhat stiff:

"Release lanterns?"

Mu Zhou nodded, somewhat confused about what he was trying to say.

At this moment, Su Youbai held a peace coin in his hand, full of questions he wanted to ask.

He rushed out of the palace, his anger simmering all the way here, but he couldn't utter a single word to Mu Zhou.
