After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Yes, county lady, we also want to know what happened here?" Eunuch Liu, who followed Huo Yan and the others, dismounted from his horse, hurriedly walked over, and looked down at the corpses lying on the ground. They still had the tokens of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion on them.

"Oh my, what happened? Why did someone from the Zhennan Palace die here..."

"Prince Zhennan has already returned to Jiangnan. These people followed Prince Chu... Oh my, has something happened to Prince Chu? How can I explain this to His Majesty?"

"County Lady, you are the only one alive here. Can you tell me what happened? And who brought you here?"

Su Ruanruan raised her eyes and stared at the eunuch from the palace in front of her, with the unique sachet hanging around his waist.

Su Ruanruan's lips trembled as she spoke, "Prince Chu was killed by...his personal bodyguard, and then the two of them fell off the cliff together."

As she spoke, her finger trembled slightly as she pointed toward the deep and dark cliffs not far away.

When Eunuch Liu heard this, his face changed slightly, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who killed who?"

Tears welled up in Su Ruanruan's eyes and she let out a suppressed sob from her throat. She looked terrified.

She slowly lowered her head and let the tears slide down her cheeks. Of course, she also noticed Eunuch Liu's reaction.

"Eunuch Liu, my little sister is frightened, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything out of her. Why don't you let her go home and recuperate first, and then ask her when she's calm."

Eunuch Liu was embarrassed. "I can understand that Prince Su cares about his sister. But this matter is of great importance. The deceased is Prince Chu of the Zhennan Palace. If we can't figure out the whole story as soon as possible, it may cause unnecessary trouble..."

"So, I think it would be more appropriate to bring the county lady with me to the palace to meet His Majesty."

Su Tinghan wanted to continue to fight for it, but a voice suddenly interrupted, "Miss Su is kind-hearted, she will definitely not refuse Eunuch Liu's request."

It’s that bastard Huo Yan.

After a moment, Su Ruanruan gritted her teeth and said, "I am willing to follow Eunuch Liu into the palace and tell Your Majesty everything I know."

Zi Wu quickly stepped forward to support Su Ruan Ruan. As they were about to leave, they suddenly heard Huo Yan's low voice, "If I hadn't seen your ruthless and heartless side, I might have been deceived by your weakness at this moment."

Su Ruanruan glared at him fiercely, then turned and left without looking back.

Hall of Qinzheng

The atmosphere was solemn. Everyone else stood outside waiting quietly. Only Su Ruanruan and Emperor Shun were left in the hall.

Su Ruanruan knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with fear of surviving a disaster. With a trembling voice, she recounted everything she had experienced.

Emperor Shun sat upright, looking at Su Ruanruan with a serious expression. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are you saying that it was Chu Ran's personal guard who trapped you in the carriage and took you out of the city?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Ruanruan raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "When we were in the northwest, Yongning was captured by him, so even if he was wearing a veil, Yongning could recognize his voice."

"On the carriage, Yongning wanted to call for help, but he knocked him out with one punch. He then lost consciousness and had no idea where he had taken him."

"In a daze, Yongning vaguely heard the sound of fierce fighting and the voice of Prince Chu. He seemed to say something like 'Just surrender, I already know your true identity...'"

At this point, Su Ruanruan couldn't help but sniff, and her body kept shaking because of excessive fear.

She was a little confused. "They were clearly master and servant, how could they suddenly fall out? Before the guard knocked me out, he clearly said that Prince Chu hated me and ordered him to take me to the cliff to scare me. But why did they fall out later? And Yongning really couldn't understand the conversation between Prince Chu and his guard."

Emperor Shun's expression turned very ugly, his eyes became more serious, and he asked again, "What happened later?"

Su Ruanruan shook her head helplessly. "Later, Yongning fell into a coma again and completely lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he saw only dead bodies all over the ground."

"The guard had been stabbed several times, but he still held Prince Chu's neck tightly, and then dragged him off the cliff. The scene was so terrifying... Yongning was really scared..."

As she spoke, Su Ruanruan subconsciously reached out and rubbed her forehead, only to see an obvious lump on her forehead.

Emperor Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, "What else did you hear? You really didn't hear what Chu Ran mentioned about his true identity?"

Facing Emperor Shun's question, Su Ruanruan showed an extremely painful expression and frowned, "Yongning doesn't know...hiss, my head hurts so much."

Emperor Shun took in Su Ruanruan's expression. After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "You were frightened today. Go back and rest well. I will send the imperial physician to treat you."

"Thank you for your love and concern, Your Majesty. Yongning will take his leave now." Su Ruanruan slowly left the hall. At this time, Eunuch Liu summoned Huo Yan into the hall again.

When Su Ruanruan and Huo Yan passed each other, their eyes met, but Su Ruanruan soon looked away indifferently.

However, it was at this moment that she noticed Su Zhen standing next to Su Tinghan.

Seeing her coming out, Su Zhen immediately stepped forward and couldn't help but look at her carefully, and said with concern, "You are injured."

He took out a tube of plaster from his sleeve, handed it to Su Ruanruan, and looked at the wound on her forehead with heartache, "This plaster is very effective. Your second brother used it when he was injured before..."

However, Su Ruanruan did not reach out to take the tube of ointment, but just stared at Su Zhen with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Su Tinghan said to her softly, "Ruanruan, your father has been worried since he learned that something happened to you. This is a token of his love, so you should accept it."

Su Ruanruan took a small step back, a cold smile on her face, "A token of my affection? Humph! Who is responsible for the suffering I've endured today? Isn't it that 'beautiful and kind' princess?"

"If she hadn't known that I was still alive, but left me to fend for myself in the northwest, how could I have met that pervert Chu Ran?"

"I am just a helpless, lonely woman who can be bullied by anyone. He keeps saying that he cares about me, but in fact he does nothing."

"When Princess Jingyi abused me wantonly, he didn't even dare to say a single heartless word to her. Such fatherly love is too cheap. I, Su Ruanruan, don't want to have such a father at all."

Su Tinghan hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, Ruanruan. Because of you, father hasn't spoken to mother for a long time, and has never even set foot in mother's yard."

However, Su Ruanruan just thought it was all ridiculous, "I don't want to hear a word about your family affairs anymore."

After saying that, she left with Zi Wu without looking back. At this moment, Su Zhen suddenly called her from behind.

"Ruanruan, what do you want me to do?"

After hearing this, Su Ruanruan slowly stopped walking, but did not look back at the person who spoke. She just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile, "Unless you divorce the princess, don't even think about letting me see you again..."

Su Tinghan was stunned by these words. His lips slightly opened but no sound came out. He could only murmur, "Ruanruan..." and then turned to look at his father.

……

As night falls, everything is silent.

Su Ruanruan sat alone at the table, holding a paintbrush, concentrating on painting the person on the rice paper.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open and a dark shadow walked in quietly.

Su Ruanruan merely raised her head and took a glance, then continued to concentrate on her painting.

The person walked up to her silently, his eyes fixed on the figure in the painting, and he didn't look away for a long time.

After a long while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You still can't let him go?" There was a hint of bitterness in his words that was hard to conceal.

Su Ruanruan paused for a moment when she heard this, then gently put the brush down.

She looked at the person in the painting with complicated eyes, and gently stroked the elegant and handsome man in white with her fingers.

"I never forgot him."

This sentence was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting Huo Yan's heart. He couldn't help but frown, and felt a pain in his chest.

It turned out that she had always kept that deep affection deep in her heart and it had never wavered in the slightest.

Huo Yan felt an endless sense of loss. That was why she hated being pregnant with his child so much that she even aborted him with a bowl of abortion soup.

Su Ruanruan stared at him quietly, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. I'm afraid General Huo didn't come here just to reminisce with me, right?"

Her voice was as calm as water, but the indifference in it was chilling.

Huo Yan silently withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to a chair beside him and sat down, slowly saying, "What happened today? What happened between Chu Ran and his personal guards? Why did his guards turn against him?"

Facing Huo Yan's questioning, Su Ruanruan sneered, "I said, I know nothing."

Seeing this, Huo Yan also chuckled, "Su Ruanruan, you may be able to fool others, but you can't fool me. From the moment you pretended to be weak and scared beside the carriage, I knew you must be hiding something."

Su Ruanruan smiled softly, "You do understand me, but unfortunately we are now enemies rather than friends. Ever since you saved Fu Hengfeng's life, there has been a blood feud between us. What do I know? Why should I tell you?"

Huo Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Su Ruanruan, have you ever thought that we have been enemies since you killed our child!"
