Venomous Empress Reborn

818 Protection (1)

Su Mingfeng followed the bearded guard in. Along the way, the servants looked at him appraisingly, making Su Mingfeng feel a little uncomfortable.

However, on second thought, at this point, there was no turning back. In any case, he had already offended Prince Rui. If his guess was not true, at most, he would apologize. No matter what, in Ming Qi’s territory, Prince Rui would have to give the officials some respect.

Su Mingfeng started to feel uneasy again. Prince Rui did not even care about the emperor, so why would he care about a young master of the Su family? Moreover, the Su family was no longer an official family. To Emperor Wen Hui, the Earl of Pingnan was useless. If something really happened, Emperor Wen Hui would not offend Prince Rui for him.

Fortunately, there was still the second young master of the Su family, Su Minglang. If anything happened to him, the Su family could still continue the bloodline.

However, what if Prince Rui took his anger out on the Su family?

Along the way, Su Mingfeng let his imagination run wild, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his back. He did not even know that the bearded guard had brought him to his destination until the bearded guard reminded him, “Young Master Su, we’re here.”

Only then did Su Mingfeng come back to his senses.

This was the backyard of Prince Rui’s mansion. There was a pond in the courtyard. In the winter night, the wind blew past the pond and hit people’s faces, making them feel really cold. Through the lanterns hanging on the branches, one could vaguely see a stone table in the garden. At the stone table sat two people, a man and a woman, their figures blurry.

Su Mingfeng subconsciously looked at the bearded man. The bearded man said, “His Highness is waiting. I’ll take my leave first.” With that, he turned around and left without waiting for Su Mingfeng to speak.

Su Mingfeng looked at the bearded man’s back and thought to himself that Prince Rui’s guards were actually so arrogant. No wonder Prince Rui was like that. Like master, like servant. Prince Rui was not respectful to Emperor Wen Hui, and the guards of Prince Rui were not respectful to guests either.

Now that he thought about it, the only person who was so impudent in the capital was Xie Jingxing, the young marquis of the Marquis of Lin’an.

At the thought of Xie Jingxing, Su Mingfeng’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at the two people at the stone table and paused for a moment before walking towards them.

When he got closer, he realized that there was a furry white animal lying under the table. At first, Su Mingfeng thought that it was a cat. When the cat-like thing heard him, it turned around and roared, revealing sharp white teeth.

It was actually a tiger.

Su Mingfeng walked to the stone table. Prince Rui’s back was facing him, so the first person Su Mingfeng saw was the woman sitting there.

The woman had delicate features and was graceful and dignified. When she looked over, Su Mingfeng shouted, “Miss Shen!”

It was actually Shen Miao!

“Miss Shen, why are you here?” Su Mingfeng couldn’t help but ask.

“Young Master Su, aren’t you being too nosy?” A casual voice sounded, as if it was filled with displeasure. “What’s wrong with my princess consort being in my mansion?”

Shen Miao smiled at Su Mingfeng and nodded. “Young Master Su.”

Su Mingfeng’s gaze landed on Prince Rui, who had his back to him.

He sat lazily, but his figure was surprisingly tall and slender. Under the faint light of the lantern, one could see the smooth patterns outlined by the golden thread on his collar.
