Chapter 68: The Weird Prince Duan

Su Ci had heard Mother Tao talk about some things between women and men, but she didn't understand why Zhao Shizhu burned his pants after he became aroused.

She was very curious and wanted to figure out the cause and effect behind this.

When Mother Tao came in, she waved at her stealthily.

When Mother Tao saw Su Ci like this, she felt that this child was still as lovable as he was when he was a child.

Sixue and Sanmei also noticed Su Ci's sneaky look and came over to eavesdrop.

"My mother and I need to talk about adult matters. You two little girls please stay away and don't eavesdrop!" Su Ci rudely ordered them to leave.

Sanmei and Sixue looked at each other. Although they were curious, they still walked away obediently.

When Su Ci saw them walking away, he whispered something in Mother Tao's ear.

After hearing this, Mother Tao blushed and asked, "Why did the princess suddenly ask this question?"

"I read it in a storybook. Mom, can you tell me why men burn their underwear secretly when they are in heat?" She continued to whisper in Tao's mother's ear because she was afraid that the barrage would hear it.

Mother Tao didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she simply changed the subject and said, "The princess's most urgent task is to let His Highness stay in the room overnight. Yesterday, His Highness and the princess lived in separate rooms again, and this news spread in the palace again."

"Let it spread. If this happens more often, we'll get used to it." Seeing that Mother Tao wanted to leave, Su Ci wanted to hold her back, but Mother Tao slipped away as quickly as possible.

Qi Xi and Su Ci had the same confusion, but he didn't know it was because his master was in heat.

Zhao Shizhu felt guilty for leaving Su Ci behind again last night, so after destroying the "evidence", he came to find Su Ci and had breakfast together.

As soon as he saw Su Ci, he met Su Ci's strange eyes as she looked at him, and her gaze was glancing at his lower body.

"Is Your Highness okay?" Su Ci looked at Zhao Shizhu's long legs and thought that the male protagonist's legs were really long, no wonder so many women liked them.

But she really didn't see how he looked like he was in heat. Could it be that the comments in the comments were just nonsense?

Although she is indeed very beautiful, she doesn't have the ability to easily make the male protagonist in the original novel aroused, right?
Zhao Shizhu felt that this was what he wanted to ask, but he saw that Su Ci's face looked normal and did not look unwell.

"The king is fine." Zhao Shizhu replied in a calm voice.

However, Su Ci could tell from Zhao Shizhu's low tone that he was in a bad mood. For a man like him, it was impossible for even the most beautiful woman in the world to be in heat, right?

"Your Highness is the king of the palace, and nothing can happen to you. Yes, I was not feeling well yesterday and did not go to pay my respects to my mother. Would Your Highness like to join me later?" Su Ci naturally changed the subject.

The reason why Zhao Shizhu was involved was to prevent Gao from using the matter of Nanny Tang to intimidate her.

"It just so happens that I also have to go and pay my respects to my mother. I'll go with you later." Zhao Shizhu glanced at Su Ci with disgust, his eyes falling on her rosy lips.

Thinking about the dream he had at night, his mood became even worse.

"Your Highness, if you have any worries, you can tell me. Although I am a woman, I can always help you solve your problems." Su Ci continued to play the role of the considerate Princess Duan.

"I am fine!" Zhao Shizhu smiled a little, raised his eyes slightly, and showed his romantic attitude. "Why does the princess think that I am worried?"

If she hadn't seduced him in that way yesterday, how could he be so embarrassed? This was the first time Su Ci heard Zhao Shizhu call her Princess, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on her arms.

Of course, she couldn't say that she found out from the comments that he was in heat and his pants burned this morning, so she just made up an excuse: "I just guessed. Your Highness has to be in charge of such a large palace, and he has to work hard all day long. It's normal for him to have something on his mind."

Zhao Shizhu laughed in a deep voice: "Really?"

Su Ci felt that Zhao Shizhu's smile was weird and made her feel uncomfortable. This Prince Duan was really not a normal person.

However, to deal with a man like Zhao Shizhu, you have to use gentleness to overcome hardness.

"Your Highness looks very stressed. If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me. Although I don't have much ability, my father loves me and he will definitely help my husband and me overcome the difficulties."

As soon as Su Ci mentioned the Marquis of Xuanping, Zhao Shizhu returned to normal: "This king has not encountered any problems at the moment, don't worry."

Su Ci was not in the mood to eat breakfast anymore. From her recent experience of dealing with Zhao Shizhu, she knew that this man was moody. She thought it would be best to go back to the old way and use the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self would be the most effective.

In Dingjing Hall, Gao heard the news last night that Su Ci moved in with Zhuoqing.

She didn't take it seriously, thinking that whether they could consummate the marriage was uncertain. Facts proved that it was not that she looked down on Su Ci, as Su Ci still failed to keep Zhuo Qing and ended up staying alone in the empty room.

When Nanny Ning mentioned Su Ci, she shook her head and said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter that the princess herself is embarrassed. Now the whole Liangzhou knows that the princess failed to keep His Highness last night and stayed alone in the empty room. The Prince Duan's Mansion has such a useless princess, which has made our palace a laughing stock. In my opinion, it would be more practical to bring Miss Su San into the palace as soon as possible."

Gao agreed: "That makes sense."

Just as the master and servant were talking in private, Zhao Shizhu and Su Ci came to Dingjing Hall to pay their respects.

Both the master and servant of the Gao family were surprised.

At this time, Zhao Shizhu and Su Ci came in together, walking out from the bright skylight, like gods.

Zhao Shizhu was wearing a sky-blue straight gown today, while Su Ci was wearing a light blue cross-collared jacquard soft silk dress. One was handsome, the other bright, and walking together was really eye-catching.

At this moment, Gao had to admit that Su Ci and Zhuo Qing were a good match in appearance, but they were useless and had not been able to consummate their marriage even after several days of marriage.

After Zhao Shizhu and Su Ci paid their respects to Gao, they took their seats one after another.

Su Ci was the first to bring up the main issue: "Yes, that day Nanny Tang left with Nanny Ning, where is she now?"

Gao didn't expect Su Ci to suddenly attack her. She felt a little depressed, thinking that Su Ci was deliberately trying to intimidate her in front of Zhao Shizhu.

When Zhao Shizhu heard Su Ci mention Nanny Tang, he looked at her in confusion: "Did Nanny Tang punish him?"

"No, when I came back from digesting my food, I found Nanny Tang missing. Later I heard that it was Nanny Ning who took Nanny Tang away." Su Ci answered truthfully.

Gao's face looked unhappy, and Nanny Ning was also very annoyed, thinking that Su Ci had deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Zhao Shizhu.

"After all, Nanny Tang has served Madam for many years, but the princess wanted to cripple Nanny Tang. Madam is kind-hearted, so she transferred Nanny Tang back to serve Madam." Nanny Ning took the initiative.

"Ah Ci is in charge of the palace now. Nanny Tang committed an insubordination. Even if Ah Ci punishes Nanny Tang, it is understandable." Zhao Shizhu said softly and looked at Gao. "What do you think, mother?"
