But Si Junlin had no idea that Su Wan'er had already damaged his reputation here.
She was now exerting all her strength to confront Gu Jingtian. When the two of them walked to the corridor, originally Gu Jingtian wanted to accompany her back to her room. It was just out of simple concern. But he found that his younger sister Wan'er had been staring at him with a very unfriendly look all the way.
"Wan'er, do you have something to say to me?" Gu Jingtian felt that something was really wrong. What had he done to offend her?
"I have nothing to say to you. Don't you think it's improper for you to come out and accompany me like this without notice?" Si Junlin had already made up his mind. Since it was Gu Jingtian who had first provoked Su Wan'er and even dared to accompany a young lady back to her room so boldly, then don't blame him for being merciless.
"Improper?" Gu Jingtian was simply shocked. He and she were clearly childhood sweethearts, growing up together since childhood. The Su Mansion was practically his second home. How could it be improper?
"Does younger sister Wan'er think... that it's inappropriate for us to be close now that we're older?"
"I've never been suitable to be close to you!" Si Junlin tried his best to imitate Su Wan'er's tone. And he thought that today he would completely dispel Gu Jingtian's dirty thoughts, so as to save him from always trying to court Su Wan'er.
"Wan'er... you..." Gu Jingtian's heart felt as if it had been stabbed. He hadn't said much these days and hadn't been impolite to the people of the Su family. Why did Su Wan'er suddenly treat him like this?
"Don't say any more. From now on, it's better for us to be well - behaved siblings. Don't meet me, don't talk to me, and don't get close to me if there's nothing important!"
Si Junlin was bent on making his words more decisive. Moreover, he had been holding back his anger for a long time and had long disliked Gu Jingtian, who always tried to curry favor with Su Wan'er. Today was really a great opportunity, so how could he not seize it?
Just as Su Wan'er had just dismissed all those who bowed and kowtowed to her and rushed over in a hurry, she saw such a scene. Si Junlin was arrogantly scolding her Brother Jingtian, and Brother Jingtian naturally looked heart - broken.
She should have thought of it earlier. She had long guessed that Si Junlin would play such tricks.
"Wan'er, explain clearly. What on earth did I do? Why are you saying such hurtful words to me?" Gu Jingtian was extremely heart - broken at the moment. The more Si Junlin wanted to drive him away, the more he wanted to figure things out. So, having no other choice, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Wan'er's sleeve.
Seeing that he dared to be so familiar, Si Junlin got even angrier and used all his strength to push him away: "How dare you!"
Gu Jingtian stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on. Was this still his childhood - intimate younger sister Wan'er?
"What are the two generals doing?" Su Wan'er couldn't stand it any longer. Si Junlin was really taking advantage of her identity.
"Your humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty." Gu Jingtian could only restrain his emotions and salute him. But thinking that the emperor had seen what had just happened, he naturally felt even more uncomfortable.
"Be excused. Ahem... General Gu, if you have nothing to do, go back first. I still have something to discuss with the marshal." Su Wan'er felt very guilty, but in this situation, she could only send Brother Jingtian away first and explain later.
"Yes, Brother Jingtian, why aren't you leaving yet?" What are you still lingering here for? Si Junlin was even more proud at the moment and quickly added another sentence to fan the flames.
Su Wan'er immediately glared at him.
Gu Jingtian was dejected and could only return to his mansion alone.
"How about it? Did I act like you?"
Si Junlin seemed very satisfied with his performance just now.
"Si Junlin, I'm warning you. Go back and write to the national master quickly. You must switch back before I go on the expedition. And don't make trouble here in the future in my name."
"How is this making trouble? I'm clearly helping you get rid of trouble. Your Brother Jingtian is really so oblivious." How dare he try to steal the one he loved.
"Si Junlin, if you use such despicable tricks again, don't blame me for being merciless. I have my family, and you have yours. If you dare to ruin my affairs again, when I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll let your mother know how filial her son is."
Su Wan'er thought he was simply unreasonable. All these things had happened because of him. Instead of cooperating well, he dared to make trouble here. If he was still in her place in the palace tomorrow, he could do whatever he wanted. It would be much easier for her to ruin his affairs than for him to ruin hers.
"Okay, okay, I dare not anymore. But why don't you enter the palace with me today?"
"Enter the palace with you?" Su Wan'er was confused. She was the emperor now. Why would she enter the palace with him?
"I'll enter the palace with you. You see, I'm not familiar with this place. It would be bad if I expose myself. It's better for me to enter the palace with you as before. After all, you have to help me attend the morning court tomorrow." Si Junlin's words were well - reasoned.
But Su Wan'er saw through his intention: "There's no need. You just stay here. After paying respects to my grandmother and father tomorrow, just stay quietly in your room. You don't need to do anything."
Being a daughter of the Su family was much easier than being an emperor. Moreover, she had attended the morning court before. It wasn't that difficult. All she had to do was listen to those old men arguing and bickering. If there was really something important, it would be written in the memorials anyway.
"I'll have someone send the memorials to you tomorrow. After you've approved them, have someone send them back. Anyway, I, Su Wan'er, will never enter the palace again. Don't even think about it." What a joke. She now held the position of marshal, not his queen. It would be inappropriate to enter the palace again.
Although she had had some experiences before, Su Wan'er still felt a little uneasy. If, as Si Junlin said, something went wrong when she was alone in the palace, what could she do?
But then, catching a glimpse of Qingcao who had come out to greet her, Su Wan'er suddenly thought that Qingcao knew about the matter. Didn't Qingcao know last time? Maybe she could take Qingcao into the palace as a helper this time.
When Qingcao saw Si Junlin, who had switched identities with Su Wan'er, she originally happily greeted her young lady.
But Su Wan'er suddenly called out, "Qingcao, come here." Only then did Qingcao notice the emperor who had walked a few steps away. How could she know that this emperor was actually her young lady?
"Miss, isn't that the emperor? Why is he calling me?"
Si Junlin found it funny that this little maid couldn't recognize them: "Don't go there. Who knows what the emperor wants you for? It mustn't be anything good. Come back to the room with me quickly."
Si Junlin almost managed to trick Qingcao into going in with him. Qingcao had always obeyed her young lady's orders.
Su Wan'er was extremely angry. Why did Si Junlin have so many crooked ideas?
