Chapter 99 The dead cannot be resurrected, Your Highness, please accept my condolences!

Nanny Tang just watched Su Ci fall into the lake without moving, and had no intention of saving him.

However, the others were horrified when they saw someone fall into the lake.

By the time Nanny Tang came to her senses, Su Ci had already fallen into the lake and disappeared.

Only then did she feel scared.

This time when Su Ci left the palace, she was the only one with him. If Su Ci fell into the lake and died, how could she escape responsibility? At least she had to pretend.

Someone fell into the lake and everyone on the pleasure boat was in chaos.

But it was such a cold day, no one dared to jump into the lake to save people. In addition, Su Ci disappeared soon after falling into the lake, so no one dared to act rashly.

Only when Nanny Tang felt that Su Ci was doomed did she offer a large sum of money to save him.

As a result, some people jumped into the lake to rescue him. However, too much time had passed since Su Ci fell into the lake, and nothing was found.

Nanny Tang also sent someone back to the palace to report the news.

When the people in the palace heard the news that Su Ci fell into the lake, many were shocked, while some were gloating. Among them, Bai Shuang was the happiest.

Su Hua was stunned for a moment, then smiled strangely: "It took so long to rescue my sister. It's so cold, I'm afraid my sister is dead, right?"

Wen Hui echoed, "It's probably God's will. It's just that the princess has a bad fate."

Ever since she found out that Zhao Shizhu had fallen in love with Su Ci, Su Hua became depressed for a long time and felt that there was no hope for the rest of her life.

Just at this moment, Su Ci suddenly fell into the lake and his life or death was unknown.

If she was rescued by someone, and if it was a man, Su Ci's reputation would be ruined.

But she thought that in such cold weather and without rescuing Su Ci for such a long time, it was impossible for Su Ci to survive.

"It is indeed God's will. My sister's life is as fragile as paper. Who can I blame?" Su Hua showed a weird smile.

Dingjing Hall also received the news that Su Ci fell into the lake. Gao's first reaction was: "I would rather she died. Otherwise, if she was rescued and someone got her body contaminated, it would be Zhuoqing and the palace that would be embarrassed."

"That's right, it will be peaceful and quiet if we die!" Nanny Ning echoed.

The "dead" Su Ci felt very weird because she found that the barrage was still very lively and even spoiled what happened with Gao and Nanny Ning.

In the past, the barrage would only reveal some information about the protagonist, but there seems to be a change recently.

The person responsible for picking her up was Su Fu. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Su Fu finally felt relieved.

But when he thought about A Ci leaving Liangzhou, he couldn't be happy.

"Do you have to leave Liangzhou?" Su Fu asked in a muffled voice.

"Well, to avoid any further trouble, I will leave before the city gates close today."

Su Ci opened the bundle and saw the silver and clothes prepared for her. She looked at Su Fu who suddenly became quiet and said, "Brother, I'm just going out to play for a few days. I'll be back when the storm is over."

When Zhao Shizhu enters the capital and becomes emperor, she will be able to go home.

"I'm worried that a girl like you might get into danger outside. Can't you find a place to settle down in the suburbs of Liangzhou?" Su Fu tried to make Su Ci change her mind.

Su Ci said sternly, "No! Prince Duan is not a good person. If he knew that I faked my death, not only would I be in trouble, but my family would also be implicated. I can't take the risk."

Su Fu knew that what Su Ci said made sense, but he still couldn't bear to let his sister leave home.

"I'm afraid that Prince Duan will suspect you, and if he asks you if you've seen me, you must not reveal the truth..." Su Ci said anxiously. Su Fu nodded and said, "I know my limits and won't make him suspicious. After all, you have to be careful when you go out. There's no one around you, so you must not let your guard down. If it's really dangerous outside, just go home. I'll protect you even if it costs me my life."

In order to make Su Fu feel at ease, Su Ci agreed to whatever Su Fu said.

When the city gates were about to be closed, Su Ci dressed up as a woman and rode his horse to the city gate.

Su Fu's eyes welled up as he watched Su Ci successfully leave the city gate.

Ah Ci asked him to go home early, fearing that he would arouse other people's suspicion, but he still couldn't help but stay near the city gate to see his sister off...

[Brother Su is so reluctant to leave Ah Ci that he is almost crying.]

[Am I the only one curious about how Zhao Shizhu would react when he returns to the palace and finds out his wife is gone? ]

[Will the tyrant become psychologically twisted because of his rage for his beloved? ]

[What the above person said, Zhao Gou has always been a mentally twisted person, right? It’s just that Su Ci has not had the chance to see Zhao Gou’s abnormal side. ]

……

Su's poems were originally very sad, but as soon as he saw the content of the barrage, the sad mood disappeared.

She felt that the audience was overthinking. What kind of tyrant was angry for a beauty? She was not an important character.

She was now more worried that Zhao Shizhu would find out that she was faking her death and running away. Before this, Zhao Shizhu seemed to be able to see through her disguise easily.

If Zhao Shizhu finds out that she is trying to escape, will he target her old father?
However, Zhao Shizhu will not ascend the throne so soon. His old father still has value now. Even if Zhao Shizhu sees that she is trying to escape, he will not take action against the Marquis' Mansion.

By the time Zhao Shizhu completes his great cause, the resentment in his heart should have disappeared, right?
In fact, after Su Ci's "death", no one passed the news to Zhao Shizhu.

This was the order from the lady dowager, saying that since Su Ci was "dead", why should he affect Zhao Shizhu's imperial cause?

When Zhao Shizhu returned to the palace, it was the day before the New Year.

When he returned to the palace exhausted, he saw the guards' evasive eyes.

Not only Zhao Shizhu saw it, Qixi also saw it. The last time the guard looked at him like this was because the princess was thinking that His Highness was taking a concubine.

Could it be that the princess has taken in a new concubine for His Highness?

"What happened?" Zhao Shizhu was too lazy to guess and asked a guard directly.

The guard turned pale, fell to his knees, and replied, "The king, the queen has passed away!"

Zhao Shizhu thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"

The guard gritted his teeth and repeated it again. This time Zhao Shizhu heard it clearly. He was a little dazed and rushed into the palace and went to Jingyuanzhai.

The main hall was very quiet, with no one serving. However, Lu Yi heard the noise and came out. The moment she saw Zhao Shizhu, she hurriedly saluted him.

Zhao Shizhu shouted in a deep voice: "Let Su Ci come out to see me!"

Lu Yi was speechless for a moment and couldn't say anything.

"Let Su Ci come out to me!" Zhao Shizhu repeated in a hoarse voice, "I told her to wait for me at home. I have something to say to her."

Lu Yi's eyes became hot and he fell to his knees, telling the story in detail about what had happened on the day Su Ci left.

"I only received the news an hour after the princess fell into the lake. I sent people who were good at swimming to fish her out, but found nothing." Lu Yi looked up at Zhao Shizhu, who had a blank expression. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Your Highness, please accept my condolences!"
