Chapter 1311: The Emperor Is Pregnant 25
Su Yan was puzzled.
"Rescue me? On which day?"
"The day you were taken away by that Prince.
He relied on his high position and authority to commit such acts of bullying and forcibly seize a common girl. It is truly outrageous."
Su Yan blinked; she felt that this person must have mistaken her for someone else.
So she bowed her head and continued eating her pastry.
Zhao Mu spoke solemnly.
"Miss, should you ever need assistance one day, you may come to the Cabinet and find me, Zhao. I will certainly help you."
Perhaps because of fear that day, Zhao Mu did not help Su Yan.
It left Zhao Mu feeling guilty.
Su Yan shook her head.
"I owe you."
She owed him favors for a bun.
If it weren’t for him... she might have eaten that roast chicken.
Zhao Mu’s face was full of a smile.
"It’s unexpected that you remember that bun.
Miss has a kind heart, blessings will surely come to you."
Su Yan said no more.
Zhao Mu also ceased to disturb her, smiling as he said,
"Farewell, Miss Song."
Su Yan nodded.
"Mm."
After Zhao Mu got onto the carriage and left.
About thirty minutes later.
Zhao Mu had already returned to his residence.
He suddenly spoke.
"Go back."
The voice sounded a bit urgent.
The carriage slowly headed back.
Yet by the time it arrived back, the soup and pastry shop no longer had that person.
He furrowed his brows.
"She bears five or six parts resemblance."
Initially, he didn’t notice.
Because Su Yan was in male attire, plus eating with aloof air.
Which made Zhao Mu only feel familiar, thinking it was due to their glimpse at the temple.
Thinking carefully, that girl named Song Su bore five or six parts resemblance to the current Empress.
Just their demeanor was completely different.
At a glance, one wouldn’t think they were the same person.
He had come to the Capital for examinations, and was fortunate to achieve the third place.
Summoned by the Empress, he was invited into the Cabinet.
The reason the Empress summoned him alone was to intend to rope him in and bring him under her command.
Zhao Mu was a man of ambition.
And had long been dissatisfied with Situ Xiu holding power alone.
The Empress wanted to cultivate her own forces.
He naturally wanted to spare no effort in helping her.
Every time the Empress would sit behind a golden curtain during assemblies, her face hidden.
After all, the Empress was a woman.
It wasn’t suitable to reveal herself in public.
Thus, Zhao Mu had met with the Empress twice, kneeling in the Imperial Study during private audiences.
The shock in Zhao Mu’s heart hadn’t settled.
Could this be mere coincidence?
But truly, in this world, is there such a thing as pure coincidence?
He suppressed his thoughts.
In the end, he returned to the Mansion.
The sky gradually darkened.
Su Yan did not return to the Prince Mansion, thus she didn’t know the mansion was in chaos.
Situ Xiu had sent Chi Xing to find her for breakfast early that morning.
He planned to discuss or even force the matter of moving in together.
Who would have thought, going early, she was gone.
After asking the Prince Mansion guards, he learned she had gone out early.
Situ Xiu, though displeased, said nothing.
After all, freedom to leave the mansion was allowed.
This waiting stretched from breakfast to lunch.
Once lunch time passed.
Situ Xiu finally couldn’t bear it.
With a darkened face, he ordered Chi Xing to take people and search.
The entire Capital was secretly searched all afternoon.
But no one was found.
At this time, Situ Xiu suddenly realized.
That woman had openly escaped??
Did I not treat her well?
She still dares to run??
As night fell, Situ Xiu’s face held no trace of a smile.
"Continue the search, turn everything upside down if necessary to bring her to me."
