Su Mingyu seemed rather confused. "What could possibly be bothering me? My father doesn't dote on me, and my mother doesn't show me love. Finally, I'm about to get married, but he can't even accompany me."
The complaining tone clearly indicated that something was amiss. The King of Yu continued to probe, "You mean Gu Ruobai? Maybe he found out about your connection with Mo Wenyuan, which is why he's unhappy."
"What does Mo Wenyuan have to do with this?" Su Mingyu suddenly turned to look at the King of Yu. "Does Mo Wenyuan know Gu Ruobai?"
Looking into her bright eyes, the King of Yu paused for a moment before speaking. "I think Mo Wenyuan is actually Gu Ruobai."
"Are you joking?" Su Mingyu clicked her tongue. Although her words were a bit slurred, her logic was still sound. "Gu Ruobai's legs are disabled, while Mo Wenyuan can jump around without any problems. Are your eyes playing tricks on you?"
The King of Yu squinted his eyes suspiciously, as if trying to figure out whether Su Mingyu was really drunk.
But Su Mingyu just stared at him with her beautiful eyes, free of any hidden motives.
The King of Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Forget it. I'll take you back."
Just as Su Mingyu was about to refuse, the King of Yu pulled her into the carriage.
The carriage jolted along the way. Su Mingyu seemed extremely uncomfortable and curled up in a corner, looking rather pitiful.
The King of Yu glanced at her from the corner of his eye. A flicker of pity flashed across his dark eyes. "Are you okay?"
Su Mingyu covered her mouth and nodded slowly. "Not really, but I can hold on."
Thankfully, Plum Garden wasn't too far from the Su Mansion. Su Mingyu frowned and closed her eyes to rest.
The carriage finally reached the Su Mansion. The King of Yu leaned forward and shook Su Mingyu's shoulder. "Miss Su, we're here."
But as soon as his hand touched her, Su Mingyu slumped down softly. The King of Yu's expression tightened. He reached out and touched Su Mingyu's slightly feverish forehead.
"Su Mingyu? Su Mingyu?"
The King of Yu called out several times, but Su Mingyu didn't wake up. Frowning, the King of Yu was about to turn around and tell the servant to call someone to carry Su Mingyu when he saw Su Mingyu unconsciously grab his robe. "Don't leave..."
His eyes darkened suddenly. The King of Yu remembered what Su Mingyu had said earlier about "he won't accompany me."
It seemed that she really had something on her mind, but it wasn't what he had thought.
He sighed silently. Looking at Su Mingyu's blushing cheeks, although it was he who had made her drink, a flicker of pity still flashed across his eyes. "I'll take you in."
Saying that, the King of Yu bent down and picked up Su Mingyu in his arms.
When Su Yueyue rushed to the entrance of the Su Mansion in a hurry, she saw the King of Yu getting out of the carriage with Su Mingyu tightly in his arms.
Su Yueyue clutched her handkerchief tightly and gritted her teeth. Her watery eyes widened in anger. It took her a while to regain her composure and put on a look of appropriate surprise. "Your Highness? Is that Sister in your arms?"
Saying that, Su Yueyue trotted a few steps forward and looked worriedly at Su Mingyu in the King of Yu's arms. "What's wrong with Sister?"
"Someone! Go and call the doctor quickly! And two of you, carry Sister back to her room."
The King of Yu was in a hurry to go inside and didn't even look at Su Yueyue. "No need. I'll take her in directly. You go and find the doctor."
"I'll go right away." Although she replied like this, there was a look of malice on Su Yueyue's face.
That damned Su Mingyu! She had met the King of Yu again without her knowledge!
What a shameless woman!
The King of Yu had been to the Su Mansion several times and was quite familiar with Su Mingyu's residence. So he didn't stop and carried Su Mingyu straight to her room.
Zhizhu was just applying medicine to her hand. As soon as she heard the commotion outside, she rushed out. Who would have thought that she would bump into the King of Yu head - on.
When she saw that it was Su Mingyu in the King of Yu's arms, she was almost scared out of her wits. "What happened?"
There was a hint of crying in Zhizhu's voice. The King of Yu ignored her and directly carried Su Mingyu to the bed. "Go and fetch a basin of hot water for her."
Zhizhu quickly rushed to prepare it.
Not long after the King of Yu put Su Mingyu down, the doctor rushed in in a hurry.
Under the great pressure from the King of Yu, the doctor finally finished the diagnosis tremblingly. "Your Highness, from the pulse, Miss Su has just drunk too much. I'll prescribe a recipe to sober her up. After she drinks it, she'll be fine."
The King of Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Mingyu. He said coldly, "But it doesn't seem to me that she's just drunk."
"This..." The doctor squatted down again to feel her pulse. "May I ask if Miss Su has something weighing on her mind?"
Before the King of Yu could speak, Su Yueyue rushed to say, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that our Su family has made Sister unhappy?"
The doctor was so frightened that his face turned as pale as paper. He quickly apologized. "No, I just mean that Miss Su should have something on her mind. When a person has something weighing on their heart, they tend to get drunk more easily when drinking. Miss Su is in this situation right now."
The King of Yu nodded. "I understand. You can leave."
Su Yueyue had been standing beside the King of Yu all the time and saw with her own eyes that his gaze was always on Su Mingyu. Her face turned ashen with jealousy.
"Your Highness, this is Sister's boudoir after all. It's not appropriate for you to stay here for too long. Why don't you go to the main hall and sit down?" As she said, Su Yueyue wrapped her arm around the King of Yu's. "Zhizhu and the steward are here. There won't be any problems."
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, the King of Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Yueyue.
Today, Su Yueyue was wearing a pink dress. The long hem and the edges of the clothes were embroidered with exquisite flowers in bright yellow thread, making her already fair face look like a blooming peach blossom. She was extremely beautiful.
But for some reason, smelling the strong floral fragrance on Su Yueyue's body, the King of Yu suddenly thought of the faint sunshine - like scent on Su Mingyu's body.
Moreover, plain clothes and white shirts seemed rather elegant.
"No, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Saying that, the King of Yu removed Su Yueyue's hand. "I'll have to trouble Yue'er to take care of things here."
Seeing that the King of Yu was about to leave, Su Yueyue was both anxious and angry in her heart, but she could only maintain a smile on her face. "Your Highness, don't worry. I'll wait here for Sister to wake up."
The King of Yu nodded. Before leaving, he turned back to look at Su Mingyu and then turned away.
Su Yueyue saw everything clearly. A fire of jealousy burned inside her, making her expression cold and sinister.
"The medicine is here. Hurry and give it to Miss..."
Before Zhizhu could finish her sentence, she saw Su Yueyue's gloomy face. She was so scared that she froze and almost dropped the medicine.
"Put it down. I'll feed her." A glint of malice flashed across Su Yueyue's beautiful eyes.
Zhizhu thought something was wrong. "No... no need. How could we trouble Second Miss with this? The servants can do it."
But Su Yueyue didn't even look at her. She stretched out her hand. "Give it to me!"
