Shengjing Noble

Chapter 388: Top-quality Oriental Pearl

Back in the carriage, Fu Mingchuan saw that she looked unhappy and a little depressed, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay."

"Did the Emperor's uncle give you a hard time?"

"No."

"In fact, the emperor's uncle has a rather strange temper. Even my father has to look at his face from time to time. Although he is old, his mind is not very mature, and sometimes he acts like a child."

Su Lanyin knew that there was some truth in what he said, but it just felt weird when these words came out of his mouth.

She couldn't help but ask: "You... said he was like a child?"

Fu Mingchuan herself was only nineteen years old, but she said that others in their twenties were immature. For a moment, she couldn't figure out who was older and who was younger between the uncle and nephew.

"Yeah, so you don't have to take it to heart when he says something to you. It's all unintentional."

"Oh, I don't mind, but I really have something to tell you." She said with a serious look and sat up straight.

Fu Mingli was a little confused: "Could it be that you chose to go with me because you have something to say?"

"Yeah." Su Lanyin nodded.

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and then he smiled, his eyes warm: "You speak, and I am listening."

Su Lanyin hurriedly explained: "What I said to you in Suiyunxuan just now was actually a misunderstanding. The emperor..."

"You don't have to say it."

She was interrupted before she could finish her words. Fu Mingli looked indifferent, as if he had let go of everything.

"what?"

"In fact, I know that my mother hates the Wei family, but she hates my father even more. She once told me that it was my father who ordered the killing of my grandfather. But she couldn't help falling in love with my father, so she began to hate herself."

"Once a person doesn't love themselves, they will fall into an eternal hell, and no one can save them. It's not that I haven't tried to persuade her and get her out of the whirlpool of pain, but she always struggles and refuses to let go of her obsession."

Su Lanyin patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. After all, this matter is really hard to deal with. On the one hand, he is the father of the child, and on the other hand, he is the enemy who killed your father... It is really difficult to make a decision. If it were me..."

She hesitated to speak, and then looked at him embarrassedly.

Fu Mingchuan was a little curious: "What if it was you?"

"I'm afraid I won't fall in love with the murderer of my father...wait...not necessarily. If someone kills Su Yongcheng, I might actually fall in love with him!"

Su Lanyin thought about it and felt that her useless father must be different from Concubine Lin's father who had real talent and knowledge.

If anyone killed her brother, she would never fall in love with him.

Hearing this, Fu Mingchuan was amused. He raised his thin lips, and dimples were faintly visible on both sides of his cheeks. His fair skin looked particularly delicate in the dim carriage.

"Miss Su, has anyone ever told you that you are humorous?"

Su Lanyin thought about it seriously and said, "No, you are the first one."

"Really? That would be my honor."

"Am I really funny?" she asked shyly.

"Well, he is lively, cheerful, humorous and witty, very pleasing to the eyes." He answered truthfully.

If he were healthy, he might become her best friend, or even...

I just don't know if she is willing.

It's a pity that he is seriously ill and everything is just a luxury.

His life was almost coming to an end, and he only hoped to go away alone, preferably without causing anyone to worry or grieve.

Fu Mingchuan was a kind person. Even if he died, he didn't want others to feel sad for him.

Even when he was alive, he endured the pain of illness quietly and alone, never causing his father to worry.

"Your Highness, the Emperor said that he was busy with state affairs and neglected you a lot. He also said that it was not that Divine Doctor Xue did not want to save you, but that he was not good at using poisons and could not save you."

Fu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, his last hope seemed to be extinguished in an instant, and his whole body was covered with a layer of gloom.

Su Lanyin quickly changed her words: "But! Someone might be able to save you!"

"Who?" His eyes lit up instantly.

It can be seen that he really wants to survive!

I am unwilling to give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

This spirit actually infected Su Lanyin.

"She is a master of Gu poison. She should be in Lingnan area now. The emperor sent me to look for her privately. Don't worry, my uncle often goes there to buy spices and has some connections. If I leave this matter to him, we will definitely get results soon."

"That's great. I don't know how to thank you..."

"I haven't found it yet. I'll thank you later when I find it."

"No, I can't let you work in vain."

Fu Mingchuan thought about it, then took out a very large crescent-shaped pearl from his arms. The pearl was smooth and bright all over, sparkling with brilliant luster in the dark night.

"What beautiful pearls!" Su Lanyin was also a wealthy man and had seen many treasures, but she had never seen such big and beautiful pearls.

"This is a top-grade oriental pearl. Only the emperor, empress, and queen mother can wear it. When my father gave me the palace and allowed me to move out of the palace, he gave me a lot of things as compensation. The most valuable of them was this oriental pearl."

"I can't have it, it's against the rules!"

Su Lanyin quickly withdrew her hand.

This oriental pearl is priceless. Even with her current wealth, she may not be able to afford such a pearl!

Even if her grandfather saw it, he wouldn't dare to take action rashly.

So, she didn't even dare to touch it.

Wearing this thing is extremely disrespectful, so I can only keep it as a family heirloom.

Fu Mingchuan smiled and explained: "Don't worry, this bead is registered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is a reward from my father. It is not an overstep for me to give it to you."

"That won't work either, it's too expensive!"

"Compared to my life, it is just a cold bead."

There's nothing wrong with what you said...

Su Lanyin asked hesitantly: "If I can't find it, do I have to return it to you?"

Fu Mingchuan was amused by her question again: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no reason for me to take back what I have given away. Moreover, if you don't accept it, I will think that you won't look for it carefully, and I will inevitably feel uneasy."

"Ah? Then...I accept it?"

"Take it."

He stuffed it into her palm, and the priceless, round and smooth oriental pearl became Su Lanyin's possession.

She asked, "What if I don't find it?"

"It doesn't matter if I didn't find it. It's my fate. I can't blame anyone else."

"Your Majesty, do you really think so?"

"Well, actually, I have let it go a long time ago, but I still can't bear to leave this world, so I want to live a few more days, taste some delicious food, and see some scenery I have never seen before..."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin asked, "Does the prince have any regrets?"

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of this, I really have something I would like to ask you for help."
