Shengjing Noble

Chapter 410 A beggar

Su Lanyin said seriously, "The emperor attaches great importance to the selection of this year's top martial arts champion, because the court is in need of military generals. Right now, there are wars at the border and foreign invasions are frequent. Once we win the top martial arts champion, he will surely be highly valued by the emperor."

"So, the prince urgently needs his own people to occupy this position. Once he gets more military power, his chances of succeeding the throne in the future will be better."

Lu Wanjun was puzzled: "But he is already the crown prince, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? Why must he fight? As long as he lives in peace and stability, the world will be his sooner or later."

Su Shengyan: "Because he feels that he is not good enough, and he is eager for quick success, he is also worried that other princes will deliberately hide their shortcomings and accumulate strength for a breakthrough, so he dare not gamble, and only wants to achieve his goal as soon as possible."

Su Lanyin nodded: "That's right, and Fu Mingheng is an ambitious man. He won't be content to just be the crown prince."

"Then what does he want to do! The emperor is now over 40 years old and in his prime. Even if he wants to abdicate, it will take at least 15 years. If he doesn't want to be the crown prince, what else can he do?" Lu Wanjun asked.

Su Shengyan and Su Lanyin looked at each other subconsciously and said in unison: "Usurpation of the throne."

"What?" Lu Wanjun was horrified and hurriedly warned, "You two better watch your mouths. Don't talk nonsense. Don't dare to tell anyone anything. Are you going to die?"

Although this matter was absurd, Su Lanyin knew that in the previous life, Fu Mingheng and Su Lanxin had been planning to usurp the throne and had even taken action.

Calculating the time, now is the time for the prince to recruit soldiers and horses.

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. As long as he wants to rebel, it will be impossible for him to do it without anyone noticing. She will always find some clues.

"Don't worry, mother. We won't tell lies."

"Well, but this time the martial arts champion selection will definitely be extremely dangerous. Brother, just in case I want to pretend to be your follower and accompany you." Su Lanyin suggested.

"How can you do that? If you are discovered, you will be punished, at least with a military stick. Not to mention a little girl like you, even a strong man may not be able to withstand ten hits with a military stick."

"It's okay, I can disguise myself."

"That won't work! This exam consists of three rounds of competition, each of which includes more than a dozen items. It will take at least three days to complete. How can a girl like you live with a group of grown men for three days? No, no, absolutely not!"

Su Shengyan refused sternly with a very tough attitude.

Su Lanyin begged him several times but he didn't give in, so she had to give up.

But do you think she will give up just like that?

wrong!

As long as she wanted, there were plenty of ways to sneak into the examination room.

……

Shengjing.

Prince's Mansion.

Su Lanxin fell in front of the Prince's Mansion in a miserable state. She tried hard to climb up the stairs, but when she looked up, she saw the door was open and a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked out.

When Fu Mingheng saw Su Lanxin at the stairs, he was stunned for a moment, while Wei Ranran next to him, who had a smiling face just now, turned cold at this moment.

"Your Highness, why is she here?"

If it were in the previous life, Fu Mingheng would definitely run over and hug Su Lanxin in his arms to comfort her.

But this life is different. In his eyes, Su Lanxin is just an insignificant person who can provide him with entertainment and give him some unique suggestions.

So staying around depends entirely on one’s mood.

Now that this "plaything" has affected his future Crown Princess, she will be abandoned immediately.

Fu Mingheng had a cold face and just pretended not to know him and scolded: "Where did this beggar come from? Come here, send him away quickly!"

When the servant nearby heard this, he immediately ran out with a stick, rushed forward and kicked Su Lanxin down the stairs.

"Get lost! You are just a stinking beggar. How dare you come to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to beg for food? You are not afraid of losing your head. It's really unlucky!"

Su Lanxin finally escaped back to Shengjing. She relied on picking up garbage for food along the way. She was even afraid of being targeted by bad guys, so she painted her face black with mud and made her hair a mess.

She thought to herself that no matter how much suffering she had to endure, as long as she could return to Shengjing and see the Crown Prince whom she had been thinking about all the time, everything would be worth it!

Moreover, this time she was ordered by the prince to lead people to hunt down Su Lanyin, but she didn't expect to end up like this, and even lost her best mother.

When she thought about how she had pushed Liu Ruyan off the cliff to feed the wolves, she felt cold all over and shed tears helplessly.

Today is Wei Ranran's birthday, and she specially went to ask the emperor to ask the prince to accompany her to watch opera and drink tea.

Therefore, the emperor temporarily pardoned the prince from house arrest and allowed him to leave the prince's mansion for one day.

"Your Highness, why does that woman look familiar to me?"

Wei Ranran had a puzzled look on his face, and looked in Su Lanxin's direction inquiringly, sensing something was wrong.

Fu Mingheng said perfunctorily: "It's just a beggar. There are beggars everywhere on the street. Let's go out early so as not to delay the show and affect your mood. As for a beggar, it doesn't matter."

"Alright."

Wei Ranran smiled, stopped looking at Su Lanxin, and got on the carriage first.

Fu Mingheng's face turned cold, and he whispered to the people around him: "Bring Su Lanxin in through the back door, don't let anyone see her."

"Yes."

……

Su Lanxin stood in the corner, watching Fu Mingheng and Wei Ranran leave in the car. The two of them were talking and laughing, like a perfect couple.

In the near future, they will be the master and mistress of the Prince's Mansion.

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists, and a feeling of hatred spread in her heart.

Why!

Why can Wei Ranran easily get something that she has tried so hard to get?

She even lost her mother because of this!

Is it just because her father is not Prime Minister Wei?

When she thought of this, she suddenly hated Su Yongcheng for being an incompetent waste. Without Lu Wanjun's support, he would be nothing but a puddle of mud.

If Lu Wanjun had not been kicked out of the Su family, she would have used her money and connections to pave the way for Su Yongcheng, allowing him to rise step by step and become a high-ranking official.

By then, she would be the daughter of a high-ranking official, with a noble status, and would naturally be worthy of the position of Crown Princess.

What a pity... She was so stupid at the beginning. She only thought that Lu Wanjun was her parents' mistress, so she was eager to exclude her and eventually drove the person who was really useful out of the Su family.

If I had known this earlier, I would have tried to please Lu Wanjun and let her continue to dedicate herself exclusively to me.

Su Lanxin regretted it very much, but it was too late. Now, she could only rely on herself.

Just as she was thinking about it, two servants came over and dragged her to the back door of the Prince's Mansion without saying a word.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Su Lanxin couldn't help but ask loudly.

The servant replied, "His Highness said that you should enter through the back door from now on. The front door is not where you should go."

"What did you say? Let me go through the back door? Why?!"

Su Lanxin was not convinced. She had given so much for Fu Mingheng, so why did he treat her like this?
