The prince was also stunned, and his angry mind finally became clear.
The bright yellow sleeve draped down to where it met Su Jin's shoulder, and the prince's fingertips gently touched Su Jin's swollen right cheek.
Stunningly hot——
Her skin, like the first snow, was flushed with a red color, layer upon layer, leaving the marks of a palm print on her cheeks.
Su Jin's head was buzzing, but her emotions had calmed down; she was really mad.
Why mention Ch Huang again?
Why involve him in the relationship between her and the prince?
Su Jin's tears flowed uncontrollably; how ridiculous.
At such a moment, Su Jin found herself regretting……
But what does she regret?
The imperial edict of marriage, no one can resist the imperial edict of marriage.
The words of matchmaker and the command of parents have always been like this.
Su Jin does not regret anything, but suddenly she developed hate.
But hate has no direction, and without a target, the last hate can only become painstakingly dense, causing her nails to be twisted and broken.
The pain was so great that... she could no longer feel the pain.
She felt like she was floating in the air, coldly observing everything from a distance.
Su Jin fell onto the bed, the bloodstain on her lips dyed her pale lips red, the hot tears rolled down her face which was so thin that there was no meat on it at all, and the bloodstain on her nails dyed her long dress with a color of blue.
The prince sat beside her in a daze, wanting to hold her to comfort her, but was pushed away by her...
Su Jin's mind was just drifting like this, watching. For a moment, she wanted to grab a chair and smash it on the prince's head, wanting to die with him.
But it can't.
The dignity of royal power lies in the consequences of offending it. If she did that, the Su family would be over, and Mr. Su's lifelong reputation would be ruined as well.
But when will the prince die?
Su Jin was silent, slowly loosening her hand clenched the long dress.
She spoke in a tone of calm that was unprecedented, "It was my lack of decorum. Your Highness suspected my chastity, and I couldn't bear it at the moment... I played with Prince Qi when we were young, but back then we were just children; after we grew up, it was only that we had met a few times."
That's not true. They would still arrange to meet, and she would still sneak into the prince's room.
But it doesn't matter.
It had never been kept a secret back then. The prince knew, the emperor knew, everyone knew.
Then you made me marry.
After marriage, Su Jin believed that she had never behaved improperly. The only exception was the warm stove she sent on that day.
The prince coughed dryly, "I know, this matter is all mine..."
At this point, the prince still couldn't say an apology.
Su Jin looked around at all the things that came in pairs, feeling wave after wave of fatigue, all were fated.
"Your Highness, I am tired, so I won't see you off."
The prince awkwardly stood up, but felt that it shouldn't be leaving now, but he didn't know what to do.
Su Jin looked up at him with a sneer, "Do you want to teach me something, Your Highness?"
The prince took a step back in fear, overwhelming regret sweeping over him. He had only just noticed that Su Jin had become much thinner.
A face that is only a palm size, with no living spirit at all, and the handprint on the right side of her face looked even more terrifying.
"I'm not that kind of person, I just lost my temper. Next time you see me angry, just stay away from me first, don't do this... don't keep on arguing with me like this."
Su Jin forced a sarcastic smile, but her lips hurt so much. After smiling, she also suppressed the words that wanted to come out.
That's the fact, how? Still want to erase these things?
If it wasn't for fear of bringing trouble to Prince Qi, Su Jin really wanted to make a scene and confront him in front of the elders, asking him, "Do you care about these things? Why do you want to marry me?"
There are many eligible girls in the whole capital city.
Su Jin's father had arranged everything for his little daughter, so Su Jin grew up carefree, and she was always late to mature. Her personality carried a touch of innocence and whimsy because she really didn't need to grow up.
Her elders would clear away all the obstacles for her.
Until two years ago, after being given an imperial edict of marriage, as the princess consort, Su's father no longer could clear away all her obstacles. The Empress Dowager saw her with new standards, and the emperor no longer looked at her as a daughter but as a daughter-in-law...
She was rushed to grow up, become independent, and bewilderedly learn all the rules and maintain all the limits.
And that was the end.
The prince's footsteps fade away, and Su Jin doesn't allow anyone in.
She wrapped her knees in an embrace and curled up at the corner of the bed, somewhat confused for a moment.
If the prince hadn't asked for her hand in marriage, what kind of life would she have lived?
The Su family has been low-key these years, avoiding royal marriages and adhering to the etiquette of a subject.
The Empress Dowager and the emperor had long been discussing, planning to have Su Jin acknowledge the emperor as her stepfather, acknowledge Yuan as her stepmother, and bestow the title of princess on her.
Mr. Su has too much influence in the literati circles, and it's not appropriate to elevate the male members of his family. This way, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be subject to Mr. Su's control.
Then give it to the women, and the best candidate is Su's youngest daughter, whom Su's father likes the most and who the Empress Dowager has grown up.
At this time, a position as a princess, especially under Empress Yuan's name, has more significance in the emperor's gratitude to Mr. Su.
It also symbolizes the royal trust in the Su family.
As this symbol, Su Jin will live a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
Mr. Su had already chosen a groom for Su Jin at an early age. Among the people he valued, he liked one of his students the most.
Although his family background was ordinary, he had an excellent character and outstanding talent. He was skilled in classics and liked to travel around, disliking official trivial matters but proficient in understanding people's hearts.
Such a person has a more mature character, stable emotions, and broad chest compared to his actual age.
Su Jin will definitely harmonize with her husband, and together they will tour the famous mountains and rivers.
With her status and position in place, Su Jin wouldn't encounter troubles in the court, and if she went to remote places and faced any crises, her husband would also have the ability to resolve them.
At the very least, she won't be like the prince, who has difficulty controlling his emotions, doesn't tolerate disobedience from anyone, and can even hit his wife when he gets angry.
Although the prince's status is high, but really to live with such a person for a lifetime, that can't be said to be light.
Mr. Su had seen through this early on. The people in the court are full of ambitions, chasing power and status. Such people divide people into different ranks, and the palace is the most extreme place of all.
Such a small place, with the most prestigious person in the world, has no rules to constrain them.
Whether it's the Empress Dowager who can arrange for the concubines of the Xizong Emperor at will, or the third prince who struggles to grow up because he was a bastard...
This is definitely not a place suitable for living. The only way to live here is to learn to objectify others, and that is far from the best way of life.
But the royal power always has the ability to break through all arrangements.
Su Jin thinks that such a life is also good, better than now.
Does Su Jin like Chu Huan?
Su Jin doesn't know, she used to be sure, but thinking about the original future, she is unsure.
She... doesn't like the palace.
By the time of the noon meal, Su Jin still hadn't called anyone in.
Qiu Lu was worried about Su Jin, so she took a big risk and went in. She saw Su Jin's head hanging and her knees wrapped in an embrace, her heart aching.
When has their miss ever been wronged like this?
How could the prince suddenly come to vent his anger on her without any reason?
"Miss, calm down. She's just a little trinket. If you're really that upset, just wait until the prince is not at the East Palace, and then kill her directly..."
Qiu Lu paused.
Because Su Jin raised her head, the untreated wounds were fierce and terrifying.
It was only then that Qiu Lu saw the bloodstains on the side of Su Jin's long dress.
For a moment, Qiu Lu suspected that she had gone mad, how could the prince dare?
How could he dare?
This is a conjugal wife!
Do they really think there are no elders above?!
Su Jin motioned for her to be quiet, "Don't let others know about this."
Qiu Lu: "Miss! This..."
Su Jin has no thoughts to listen to consolation, and waves her hand indicating that she will do it like that.
If the name of another person is involved in a quarrel between husband and wife, and if the news gets out, it will affect Chu Huan's reputation and also make well-meaning people suspect that he has an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law.
It's not like that.
