Chapter 262 He can only rely on himself
While the two were talking, the carriage stopped.
Mei Susu vaguely heard voices coming from the front. Before she could say anything, Shan Yanjing pulled the curtain aside and looked out.
Then he retracted his body and said to Mei Susu: "Little sister, it's someone from the palace."
Mei Susu's eyes instantly revealed surprise, and she quickly opened the window to look.
Outside was a forest, all covered in snow, with only the frequently traveled path showing traces of human footsteps.
Zhuixue was sitting on a horse in a black robe, talking to Master Wen with her head down. After Mei Susu stuck her head out, Zhuixue and Master Wen looked at her at the same time.
Then Zhuixue clasped his fists and bid farewell to Master Wen, then turned his horse around and rode towards Mei Susu.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Che was not there, Mei Susu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but it was back to normal in just a moment.
"Sister Zhuixue." Mei Susu called her affectionately when she approached.
Zhuixue first saluted with his fists, then spoke to her with a smile.
"Is it cold in the car?" Zhuixue asked.
Mei Susu shook her head: "It's very warm. Mother put a hot water bottle and a heater in our carriage. It's so hot that I'm sweating."
For fear of being heard by someone with ulterior motives, Mei Susu simply called Madam Shan "mother".
Hearing that she was sweating, Zhuixue hurriedly said, "Then remember not to catch a cold when you sweat. I just happened to meet you when I was passing by. Let me say a few words to you. Miss, please close the window."
Mei Susu knew that she wanted to call her "Young Master", but she must have realized the current situation and called her "Miss" instead.
Mei Susu nodded and was about to retract her head, but just before closing the window, she whispered, "Is he okay?"
Zhuixue outside the window didn't say much, just hummed as a response.
Knowing that Xuanyuan Che was fine, Mei Susu closed the window with peace of mind, and the carriage started moving again. Mei Susu knew that after this departure, she would never see Xuanyuan Che again unless the situation stabilized.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip in anger again, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted to pieces.
Xuanyuan Che, that cunning fox, next time she sees him, she will bite him to death!
See if he dares to send it out silently.
Shan Yanjing came closer to her again, blinking her cunning eyes and laughing: "Little sister, you are quite capable. Everyone knows that man is notoriously sinister and cruel, and you were able to capture him. Tell me what method you used so that I can learn from you."
Mei Susu's bright eyes twinkled: "Actually there is no way. At most... you looked at things you shouldn't have looked at, and touched things you shouldn't have touched?"
"What!" Shan Yanjing screamed, scaring the horse servant outside and asking hurriedly if there was anything wrong.
Shan Yanjing hurriedly said no, no, and then lowered her voice.
"How...do you feel?" Shan Yanjing looked like a gossiper at the moment. Mei Susu knew that she had misunderstood, so she hurried to explain.
"No, it's not what you think. I just touched it."
Shan Yanjing exclaimed, "What are you thinking? I know you just touched it, so I asked you how it felt. Is your Highness in good shape?"
"Cough cough cough." If Mei Susu had water in her mouth at this moment, she would probably spit it out. She never thought that she was a pervert and Shan Yanjing would be so bold.
But hey, she's not annoying.
Mei Susu smiled coquettishly and nodded: "It feels great, and the figure is great too."
Shan Yanjing clapped her hands in an awful voice, feeling so annoyed: "I knew it! If I had known, I should have accepted the arranged marriage."
But then she shrank her neck like a quail and shook her head in fear: "No, no, just think about it. If I really become that person's pillow, I will be too scared to sleep."
Mei Susu was very surprised: "Why are you all so afraid of him?"
Except for the first time when she caught Xuanyuan Che killing someone, she had never seen him do anything cruel and inhumane afterwards, but it seemed that people in the capital and the court were extremely afraid of him.
Mei Susu couldn't understand why.
When two women are together, and neither of them has any ulterior motives, they can talk about anything.
"You came to His Highness late and didn't know him, so I was gentle with you. In the past, if a woman approached him, at best, her arms and legs would be broken, at worst, she would be stripped naked, her legs would be broken, her tongue would be cut off and thrown out."
"Once, there was a minister's daughter who gave His Highness an aphrodisiac in order to get into bed with her. When His Highness found out, he broke her legs and arms, tied her up and paraded her through the streets back to the minister's residence. The minister complained to the Emperor about this, and guess what happened? His Highness arrested the minister's entire family that night and put them in jail. They were held there for five months before being released."
"It is said that the minister was in human form after he came out. He handed in his retirement letter to His Majesty and left Kyoto. You can still hear people talking about this in teahouses now."
Mei Susu really didn't know that there was such a thing, but when she thought about Xuanyuan Che, she realized that there was a lot she didn't know.
After all, when she took over this body, the original owner was just an ordinary cat, and the fun of his daily life was to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat. Even if someone in the palace talked about these things, the original owner probably wouldn't care.
Others said he was cruel, but Mei Susu felt he was so tiring just by listening to what they said.
Not only are there intrigues in the court, but even one's private life is interfered with by others.
If we don't use extraordinary means to intimidate others, there will be more and more people who will take advantage of us.
Take this incident for example, was Xuanyuan Che wrong? Yes, he was wrong in sending the woman back in a swagger.
Xuanyuan Che could clearly send the person back quietly and then give the minister a harsh warning. The minister would never disclose the matter for the sake of face and dignity, but he did not do that.
He made the matter known to everyone, in order to confess what he had done and not to fear that others would hold him accountable.
Secondly, we need to tell other people who have ulterior motives to calm down, because he is not someone who is easy to talk to.
And what about the minister?
Even if he didn't know that his daughter was climbing into bed and taking those medicines, his wife couldn't be unaware of it. After all, Xuanyuan Che was in the palace, and without the help of her family, how could the woman stay in the palace?
The family members were at fault first, but instead of educating their family members and cleaning up the mess, they had to report it to the emperor.
Xuanyuan Che had already given him a chance by sending the person back, but unfortunately the minister was useless and took Xuanyuan Che's kindness as weakness. How could Xuanyuan Che let him go?
After imprisoning him for five months, he was lucky enough to be allowed to walk out of prison and return home with his family. If it were in the hands of someone else, let alone five months, I'm afraid it would be good if he could be found with his body intact in the end.
If the plaintiff succeeds, one can imagine how miserable the defendant's fate will be.
I will not offend others unless they offend me.
Every step Xuanyuan Che took was forced.
Everyone is afraid of him, except Mei Susu, who feels sorry for him.
If he wasn't ruthless, the palace would have eaten him till there was nothing left but bones. He had no one to rely on and the only one he could rely on was himself.
