He did indeed go to request an imperial decree. Originally, he had wanted to use a soft method with a hard method simultaneously. If the soft one did not work, then he would use the hard one.
However, he had just spoken and was immediately met with His Majestyâs refusal.
His Majestyâs expression at that time was terrible. He just said one sentence, this emperor has no control over Apothecary Leng.
Just one sentence, and he annihilated Su Zianâs hopes.
Because of Emperor Jingâs position, he knew Apothecary Lengâs background. He knew he had studied under Grandmaster Rong Yun. So, even though His Majestyâs station was highly honored, he still did not dare to suppress Apothecary Leng with an imperial decree.
But with Su Zianâs rank, he was not qualified to know these classified details.
Now, being mentioned by Su Xi, Su Zian glared at her in annoyance and forcefully changed the subject: âApothecary Leng hasnât sent anyone out to see you?â
âHe hasnât.â Su Xi grumbled, feeling aggrieved.
Wasnât it said that Apothecary Leng treated her very well? She just could not see it. From the start, Apothecary Leng had not even seen her directly with his eyes.
âKneel again!â Compared to Su Xi, Su Zian had complete faith in it. He coldly said: âYou will keep kneeling here. If you canât invite Apothecary Leng to come, then donât return to the manor!â
Even now, Apothecary Leng had not come out. He was probably testing this girlâs perseverance. He absolutely could not fail through the lack of a final effort.
After making it clear, Su Zian tossed his sleeves and left.
âDaddy...â Seeing Su Zian leaving without even looking back, Su Xi became so depressed that she wanted to hit her head against the wall.
Until exactly when would she have to kneel here...
From the elegant room on the second floor, that just so happened to have a view of Su Xi kneeling in the courtyard.
The corner of Su Luoâs mouth raised into a hint of a curve: âFortunately, Apothecary Leng did not say my given name and only said the surname. Otherwise, the person kneeling there right now would be me.â
Apothecary Lengâs mouth slanted sideways a little: âYou, this girl, knows how to kneel?â
She dared to kneel, he wouldnât bear to accept it.
Seeing Su Luo smile yet remain silent, Apothecary Leng thought for a moment. Suddenly, a line, as if written by a god, came to him, âIn fact, His Highness Prince Jin needs to go into seclusion to cultivate. Youâve encumbered him.â
âIâve encumbered him?â As expected, Su Luoâs attention was instantly attracted by this. She asked in surprise: âWhat happened to him?â
Apothecary Leng shook his head and said faintly: âIn the past half year, his promotion to the next realm is too fast. Yet, heâs had no time to properly stabilize it. This caused his foundation to be unstable. If he still wonât go into seclusion to cultivate and harmonize everything, there might be effects that are big or small on his future. â
Su Luo was slightly startled to a pause.
Since Apothecary Leng was able to see through it, then how could Nangong Liuyun not be aware of it himself?
However, he acted so normal that even she was kept in the dark.
If Apothecary Leng had not brought it up today, she would still have been kept in the dark, not knowing anything at all.
âHow long would he have to stay in seclusion?â Su Luoâs voice was very low, carrying a sense of loss.
âOn the low end, half a year, high end would be three years.â In a slight joking manner, Apothecary Leng cast a quick glance at Su Luo.
âSo long...â Su Luo looked towards the azure sky, murmuring to herself.
If it was before, Nangong Liuyun would definitely choose to go into seclusion without the slightest hesitation. But this half a year, because of her appearance, therefore, he remained in the imperial capital to assist her.
Moreover now, there was also the Jade Lakeâs Li family, glaring like a tiger watching his prey. Even more so, at this time, he would not go into seclusion and abandon her to face them alone.
But if itâs like this, the damage to his future would be enormous.
With such extraordinary gifts like his, his future accomplishments were limitless. However, he still decided to stay by her side.
If she had not known, then it would be dismissable. Now that she knew, if she still stayed indifferent, then thatâs simply being too selfish and too disgraceful!
âIâm leaving first!â Su Luo was no longer in the mood to watch the play.
