After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Chapter 49 Treating Marriage as Child’s Play

The next day, two things that made the Holy Emperor very happy and angry spread throughout Nanye.

The emperor's grandson bravely fought against bandits to save the monks of Puhua Temple. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded him with a yellow mantle.

The emperor's grandson went to the emperor in person to request an order to break off the engagement. The emperor was furious and scolded him for treating marriage as child's play. The emperor's grandson explained the reason to him.

Therefore, the Holy Father ordered the two to terminate their engagement on the grounds that their personalities were incompatible.

How can such a high-sounding reason convince everyone?

It had only been half a day and rumors had already filled the capital.

"Princess, some people say that Su Ruoxi is pregnant with the child of a guard of the Su family, while others say that Lu Xuerou is jealous and is forcing her to die."

Su Qingcheng said calmly, "Go and find a few people who can speak eloquently and spread the news in major cities, saying that Su Ruoxi has hooked up with a certain prince."

"It's better to add some spice to it."

"Yes."

"What is the princess doing?"

Ye Tantai walked over. After several times of acupuncture, although he still needed to use crutches, he could walk much more smoothly.

"Drinking tea, Your Majesty, do you want it?"

Su Qingcheng recalled that no one was around when she was talking to Dan Mo, and then she felt relieved that Ye Tantai did not hear their conversation.

You know, Ye Tantai is still half a member of the royal family. If he spreads unfavorable news about the royal family, he will probably stop him.

"I won't drink the tea anymore. Let's take the princess to see someone."

Ye Tantai smiled with pride in his eyes.

Su Qingcheng looked suspicious, but followed him to the study room. Ye Tantai fiddled with it a few times, and a secret room appeared in front of the two of them.

It was so dark inside that I couldn't see what was ahead.

Su Qingcheng hesitated to go in because she was afraid of the dark.

But Ye Tantai in front of him couldn't tolerate her rejection and was almost out of sight. Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth and walked in.

The moment she stepped through, the secret door closed.

Su Qingcheng couldn't adapt for a moment and stopped. She suddenly couldn't feel Ye Tantai walking in front.

Cold sweat fell directly from her forehead, and her heartbeat accelerated.

"My lord, are you still there?"

No one answered.

Su Qingcheng panicked, and the tragic memories of her past life appeared uncontrollably in her mind.

Being locked up in the dark Fengwu Palace, there were rats running around and biting her fingers, but she couldn't see anything.

In a daze, she seemed to hear voices from her past life.

"What's the difference between an unpopular queen and a dead person?"

"I have to fight with rats for food all day long. Even if I die here, no one will know."

"Look at you, how can you still look like the legitimate daughter of the Su family? Hahaha, by the way, I almost forgot, the Su family is almost gone, where can the legitimate young lady come from?"

She huddled up in fear, a feeling of powerlessness engulfing her body.

Father, mother, An'er...

"Ye Tantai! Where are you?"

Su Qingcheng's last trace of reason disappeared with this cry.

In fact, Ye Tantai never left. He hid in the darkness and looked at Su Qingcheng not far away with cold eyes, watching her go from panic to panic, until she collapsed bit by bit.

It turns out that Su Qingcheng, who is always confident of winning in front of others, as if she knows everything and has everything under her control, also has such a helpless and fearful side.

He liked to see people lose control and go crazy, but Su Qingcheng like this made him feel a little... distressed.

Just before Su Qingcheng was about to collapse, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"I'm here. It's okay. I just walked too fast. It was my fault."

Ye Tantai comforted the slightly trembling Su Qingcheng with a soft voice like stroking a stressed kitten.

Su Qingcheng crawled into Ye Tantai's arms like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. She was already a little confused.

"Don't abandon me, don't leave me!"

He patted Su Qingcheng's back and said, "Okay, I won't leave you."

Su Qingcheng fainted.

---

Su family.

Su Ruoxi knelt on the ground, her hands trembling uncontrollably, tears falling like rain, and she kept kowtowing to admit her mistake.

"Dad and daughter don't have it. Daughter really doesn't have it."

Su Qingcang glared with anger and wanted to kick away her hand holding his trouser leg, but he still endured it.

"You didn't? Don't think that I don't know the real situation. The Holy One only mentioned the personality incompatibility because of the face of my Su family. Colluding with the prince is a capital crime!"

Su Ruoxi's eyes were full of despair. She didn't expect it to be so serious.

Liu Rumei knelt down with a plop, "Master, please save Ruoxi. This is my only daughter, so let me die for her."

Su Ruoxi was so scared that she crawled into Liu Rumei's arms, trembling all over.

"Hmph, do you know how you saved your life? The Crown Prince said that both you and the Seventh Prince were drugged."

Su Ruoxi didn't expect that the emperor's grandson didn't kill her, so she immediately seized the words and admitted.

"Yes, Dad, I was drugged to do such a thing. I was unconscious."

Su Qingcang slapped him.

Liu Rumei exclaimed "Ah", as if it was not Su Ruoxi who was hit but her.

"You and I know very well whether he was drugged or not. How could a dignified prince be drugged so easily? How come you all happened to be in Puhua Temple?"

Su Qingcang's face was ferocious and terrifying, like a roaring tiger.

"You have been at home for the past three months and are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Su Qingcang fluttered his sleeves and turned to leave.

Liu Rumei helped Su Ruoxi, whose legs were weak, back to the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Su Ruoxi curled up on the bed, her hair was messy, her eyes were red, and she was crying heartbreakingly. Her cry was sharp and hoarse, as bitter as if she had been soaked in coptis water.

"Stop crying! Now is not the time to cry."

Liu Rumei yelled, of course she knew what her daughter was like, it must be her and the seventh son of the emperor who were secretly trying to make ends meet while hanging on to the emperor's grandson.

"Mother, what should I do? How can I survive in the capital?"

"You should have thought through the consequences when you did this kind of thing! Now that it has happened, why don't you think of countermeasures and sit back and wait to be abandoned?"

"But the emperor's grandson has already requested an order to break off the engagement..."

"Isn't there another Fu Xingzhou! You and he shouldn't have been together for the same day, right?"

Su Ruoxi lowered her head guiltily, but then she thought about it. He had resolutely let herself take the blame in front of the emperor's grandson, would he really help her now?

"Furthermore, the emperor's grandson did not kill you. It seems that he still has some friendship with you. Do you and him have sex?"

Liu Rumei asked so bluntly that even Su Ruoxi, who had been in love for many times, couldn't help but blush and shake her head.

"Why are you so useless? If we have sex, you can fake a pregnancy and enter the emperor's grandson's house."

Liu Rumei shook her head, "Now there is only one way. You go and ask Fu Xingzhou to take you in, otherwise no aristocratic family in the capital will dare to marry you in the future."

"But……"

"No but!" Liu Rumei grabbed Su Ruoxi's shoulder with force. The latter was in pain, but looking at Liu Rumei's sharp eyes she did not dare to refute.

"If you don't want to become a street rat that everyone in the capital avoids, you must listen to me!"

Su Ruoxi no longer hesitated. She really had no other way out except Fu Xingzhou.
