But Su Wan'er felt that as soon as she was about to make a move, she couldn't muster the slightest bit of strength. What was wrong with her? Si Junlin clearly had no martial arts skills at all. She should definitely be able to defeat him. But now she was being held tightly by him and couldn't move.
"What's wrong with the imperial study? Isn't it a place where you and I often stay? You're dressed like this today. Are you trying to hint at something to me? If I just let you go like this, wouldn't I be letting down your good intentions, Wan'er?" Si Junlin deliberately spoke suggestively, then exhaled a puff of hot air into her ear.
Su Wan'er was furious and on the verge of an outburst. But she just felt that she had no strength at all. Something was definitely wrong. There was something wrong with the incense in the palace.
"Si Junlin, let me go quickly. My grandmother forced me to wear this dress. Don't have wild fantasies." Su Wan'er had already started trying to circulate her inner energy, but she felt that the energy in her body was in a complete mess and couldn't be regulated at all.
"I'm having wild fantasies? Su Wan'er, do you know what you're saying? Today I'll let you know who you really belong to. So that you won't act recklessly outside."
Si Junlin's heart wasn't as firm as it seemed on the surface. In fact, he was a bit flustered. He had indeed been scheming for a long time today. The spice in the palace was the Hundred - Flower Softening Tendon Powder. Although it was non - toxic and harmless, it was a well - known drug in the martial arts world that could make people lose their strength.
He knew that if he turned Su Wan'er into his woman now, she might kill him afterwards or never forgive him for the rest of her life. But if he did nothing now, what if Gu Jingtian took the lead...
"Si Junlin, think it through clearly. I will kill you." Su Wan'er was so angry that her eyes were red. In fact, besides being angry, she was also terrified. She had no strength at all now.
She had learned martial arts since childhood, so she was used to solving problems with her own strength. And her vigilance was usually pretty good. So when something happened, she would rely on herself to solve it desperately. But this was the first time she had been caught off - guard and lost her strength.
If Si Junlin really did something to her today, she swore that as long as she could walk out alive, she would definitely kill this man.
"Wan'er, I have to do this. Only by doing this can I make you come back to me. Even if you resent and hate me in the future, I'll take any punishment. I'll spend my whole life making it up to you, okay?"
"Si Junlin, you won't have this chance. I swear I will kill you!" Su Wan'er was extremely scared. She simply didn't know how to solve this problem or how to deal with this man. But she would rather die by hitting her head against the pillar right now than let what was about to happen occur.
"Su Wan'er, you know I'm the emperor, the lord of the country. I have a thousand and one ways to get you. You can't escape." Si Junlin's heart was wavering. He no longer wanted to force Su Wan'er. Instead, he tried to persuade her, even though he knew he didn't have the ability to do so.
"Si Junlin, please let me go, okay?"
Su Wan'er didn't know what to do now. She was always tough, but at this moment, she was at a loss. She even said such submissive words. She didn't even know that her eyes were already filled with tears.
Even if Si Junlin liked her. Even if she still had feelings for Si Junlin in her heart, she would never accept it in this way.
Even though she had clearly said before that Si Junlin was despicable and shameless, she still believed in her heart that he was a wise emperor and an open - minded person. But if this really happened today, then there would be no future for her and Si Junlin. What was the difference between this and those scoundrels?
"Wan'er, don't be afraid. I know you're not willing now, but you will be in the future." Si Junlin had started trying to convince himself.
But inadvertently, he loosened his hands that were holding her tightly. Naturally, Su Wan'er took the opportunity to flee in a hurry. Without looking back, she ran out of the palace hall, then out of the imperial palace, out of this place that scared her.
Almost at noon, Qingcao happened to arrive at the Su Mansion. Seeing Su Wan'er come back like this, she was originally very happy to greet her. But when she got closer, she found that Su Wan'er was actually in tears.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Where did you come back from?" Qingcao took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the tears from Su Wan'er's face.
Only then did Su Wan'er realize that she had been crying and crying so badly.
"Um? I'm fine. You're back."
"Miss, what on earth happened? Who bullied you?" It was the first time Qingcao had seen her miss cry like this. In her impression, Su Wan'er was almost unlike other girls. Not to mention crying, even showing weakness was rare.
"No one dares to bully me. It's just that some sand got into my eyes."
Qingcao didn't ask any more questions. She naturally knew that there wasn't such a strong wind and sand that could make her cry like this. Since the miss didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.
"Miss, how is the general?" Qingcao had just arrived, so of course she was most worried about the injuries of the two Su generals. She heard that the old general's injury wasn't serious, but the eldest general still couldn't get out of bed freely.
"Ah, I haven't had the time to go and see yet. Hurry, let's go and see big brother and father together."
She had come back very late last night. This morning, after paying respects to her grandmother early and before having breakfast, she was called to the palace by Si Junlin. Where did she have the time to see her big brother?
"Oh... okay," Qingcao was also surprised. Maybe she had arrived late yesterday, but it was already morning today. Where had the miss been?
"Miss, weren't you just in the palace to see the emperor?" Qingcao suddenly thought of this. Looking at the direction, wasn't it the direction of the imperial palace? Did the emperor bully her miss again?
Su Wan'er remained silent and just walked forward.
Qingcao understood then. She had guessed right. "Miss, you're already a marshal now, not his queen. How dare he still bully you?"
"What are you talking nonsense about? There's nothing like that. Let's go and see big brother."
Before entering the room, Su Wan'er's eyes were already red. Maybe because she had just cried, the tears fell even faster this time. Seeing General Su lying in bed, her once majestic big brother now having to lie in bed during the daytime, Su Wan'er felt very sad.
"Big brother, how are you? Are you okay?" No matter how strong she was, in front of her relatives, she was still just Su Wan'er.
"Hey, why are you crying? Big brother is fine. Look... I wrote you a letter. I'm much better. I'll be well in a few days."
