Chapter 1255 Persuasion, Comfort, and Relocation
Just when Ruoxi was feeling heavy-hearted and thinking about how to crack the 'arranged marriage'.
Ruolan suddenly took light steps and walked slowly in front of the man. She knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to him:
"Thank you, Prince, for your intercession and for giving Ruolan her freedom!"
"Forget it. I've heard about your story before. I can only say that it's fate that plays tricks on us!"
In the face of Ruolan's feelings, Su Mingzhe waved his hand coldly on the surface, but in fact he sighed countless times in his heart.
In terms of beauty, Ruolan and Ruoxi look 50% similar.
In particular, both of them have a pair of charming dimples, which make them look naughty, cute, pure and sexy, making people unable to stop once they see them.
From this point of view, it seems that the two are just evenly matched.
In fact, the two are compared.
Ruolan's gentle and charming temperament as a young woman far surpasses that of the young Ruoxi.
It's a pity that such a good woman is still brooding over a dead person and can't get rid of it.
If Su Mingzhe didn't already have a girlfriend named Rouze who was just as gentle as jade, he would really want to attack her, even if it meant using force.
Now, he could only say "what a pity".
With his mind turning over, Su Mingzhe spoke again to comfort him:
"Ruolan, you are now a free man. Logically, I have no right to say anything to you. However, even as a friend, I hope you can let go of the past and stop blaming your eighth brother and your father. After all, you are not even twenty years old yet and you still have a long way to go in life. If you continue to live in pain, it will be too painful."
"Thank you, Prince. Ruolan will remember it!"
The good and friendly conversation between Ruolan and Su Mingzhe gave Ruoxi courage:
"My Lord, I don't want to marry you! The life I long for should be..."
"Let's go out and talk!"
Seeing that the heroine was about to act stupidly again, Su Mingzhe glared at her unhappily.
"Get out, get out!"
In broad daylight, Ruoxi is not afraid of men forcing themselves on her.
Not long after.
The two of them left the attic and came to a pavilion outside.
After an autumn rain, the breeze brought coolness.
The two of them just sat in the pavilion, staring at each other.
Su Mingzhe was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe, had a slender figure, a handsome and resolute face. If he were in modern times, he would at least be an idol-level star.
Although Ruoxi's clothes were a bit bulky, her rosy face, almond eyes, pink lips, and light makeup made her look pretty and charming.
The two looked at each other for a while, both of them were a little greedy for each other.
Su Mingzhe was thick-skinned. Not only was he greedy, but he was also thinking about how to get the girl in front of him back to the East Palace as soon as possible so that he could enjoy her earlier.
Although Ruoxi is obsessed with appearance and has no resistance to Su Mingzhe's looks, she still yearns for a free and easy life.
Just as Ruoxi was thinking about how to ask the man to let her go, Su Mingzhe spoke first:
"Speaking of which, I am now the master of the East Palace, thanks to you!"
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
Ruoxi felt confused because she had never done anything for the man.
"Thank you for telling me that the crown prince will be deposed sooner or later, and I am the future emperor!"
As soon as Su Mingzhe opened his mouth, he pushed all the causes and consequences onto Ruoxi.
When the girl's eyes widened in shock and she wanted to ask, Su Mingzhe continued to speak slowly:
"Years ago, the eldest prince's party and the Eighth Prince's party joined forces and coveted the position of crown prince, but the second brother was like a hopeless person. No matter how I assisted him, he was still a hopeless case!"
"I was ready to accept my fate, but you told me that I was the future emperor. Then I suddenly realized that since the crown prince was absurd and incompetent, the eldest prince was tyrannical and had no hope of becoming a king, and the eight princes were greedy and cruel, it would be better for me to take action, sweep the world, and bring peace to the world!"
As the man spoke, Ruoxi was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. Her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down for a long time:
"Did I influence history? Did I change history?" "The premature demise of the Prince's Party, the Great Prince's Party, and the Eight Princes' Party was all caused by my drunken nonsense?"
For a moment, Ruoxi was really at a loss.
Looking at the girl's cute panicked look, Su Mingzhe really wanted to lean over and give her a few big kisses.
Su Mingzhe secretly suppressed the urge in his heart, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and continued:
"Why? Are you feeling guilty about Eighth Brother and the others being imprisoned?"
"In fact, you don't have to do this. You can think differently. I can destroy my eighth brother's Eighth Prince Party in advance, which will actually bring countless benefits to the Qing Dynasty and the common people!"
"Do you know that the four of us, Eighth Brother, embezzled and extorted more than five million taels of silver every year? And in order to provide so much money, the slaves below would squeeze the people under their rule and extort their blood and sweat!"
"According to statistics from some places, the annual income of an ordinary family of four is only five taels of silver."
"In other words, the four of us, Eighth Brother, harmed at least four million people for our own selfish desires."
"These are just the four of them. If we count the more than 200 members of the Eight Kings Party, the money they embezzled exceeds tens of millions, and the number of people they harmed exceeds tens of millions!"
"It can be said that because of your appearance, the Eight Kings and their faction were destroyed ahead of time. This is a great merit that saved millions of ordinary people."
"So... I am so great!"
It must be said that the man's words did ease Ruoxi's guilt.
However, the so-called millions of ordinary people are all fake and invisible.
However, the kindness of Yinsi, Yinlu, Yinqi and Yinzhi to Ruoxi was genuine.
After Ruoxi's inner struggle, she still felt somewhat guilty towards Yinsi and the other three.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things!"
Su Mingzhe also realized that although Ruoxi came from the modern era, she was essentially no different from ordinary people.
After comforting the girl, Su Mingzhe changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Now the imperial decree for marriage has come down. As soon as the emperor returns to the capital, a sedan chair with eight bearers will be sent to take you home. Before that, do you and your sister plan to live here, or move to my original residence, Prince Zhen?"
"It's still your Zhen Beile Mansion!"
Ruoxi gave the answer without hesitation, then looked at the deserted yard with disdain:
"It's too empty here. When it's windy and rainy, my sister and I are so scared that we can't sleep!"
"Then pack up and move over now!"
In June, Su Mingzhe was made the crown prince, and only twenty or thirty eunuchs and palace maids were left to guard the original Prince Zhen's mansion.
Although this number is relatively small.
But it is much better than the Eighth Prince's Mansion.
In addition, if Ruoxi feels that there are not enough people, she can also transfer more palace maids from the palace to serve her sisters.
Su Mingzhe took Ruoxi back to the attic and explained the situation.
Ruolan felt a little relieved when she saw that her sister seemed to no longer resist the arranged marriage.
Ruolan had no objection to moving to Prince Zhen's mansion.
Nearing noon, everyone had arrived at Prince Zhen's mansion.
After seeing Su Mingzhe come in, he sat down in the main hall with a swagger. When the sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi saw him, they could only look at each other and walked over and said:
"My Lord, it's getting late. We still need to pack up our things, so we won't keep you here for dinner."
"Okay then, you guys go to bed early. If you need anything, you can tell the housekeeper outside."
After Su Mingzhe finished speaking, he was too lazy to stay any longer.
These two sisters are really not hospitable at all!
However, Su Mingzhe himself also wanted to leave.
After all, if you stay any longer, you can only watch with envy but won't be able to eat anything.
It would be better for him to return to his own East Palace. At least he can enjoy all the women there at his disposal.
