Chapter 14

"Father..."

Princess Honglian heard the anger in the King of Han’s words and was about to explain.

The King of Han said coldly: "Enough, earlier, I told you not to be presumptuous in front of Mr. Su, but you forgot everything. You violated my ban and rashly broke into Mr. Su’s place. If you ruined Mr. Su’s cultivation, can you take responsibility for it?"

"I..."

Princess Honglian felt a bit aggrieved; how did she ruin Su Xuan’s cultivation?

She did not expect that just breaking into Su Xuan’s place would make her father so angry.

Her father in the past would not have scolded her like this.

'Father, you have changed...'

She thought to herself, and the good impression she had of Su Xuan because of a bottle of "Fragrance-Condensing Pill" vanished, and then a bit of resentment arose. In her view, the reason her father no longer protected and pampered her as before was all because of Su Xuan.

Just as Princess Honglian was thinking this.

Su Xuan spoke: "Your Majesty, there is no need for this."

"Princess Princess Honglian did not disturb my cultivation. On the contrary, in this deep palace, refining elixirs alone is sometimes truly lonely. Princess Princess Honglian saw that I was lonely and came to chat with me to relieve my sense of loneliness!"

"On the contrary, I should thank the Princess!"

"Is that so?" The King of Han was stunned; he had not expected Su Xuan to give such an answer.

Princess Honglian was also stunned, not because of Su Xuan’s words, but because before this, she had heard a completely different answer from Su Xuan’s mouth.

Su Xuan’s previous answer was "How could cultivation be boring," and now, he said he was lonely in this deep palace.

This contradictory statement really made it hard to know what Su Xuan was thinking.

But Princess Honglian soon had an answer.

'Is it to help me?'

Seeing her father scolding her, he took the initiative to speak up to help her resolve her father’s anger.

After Princess Honglian understood this, her spoiled nature couldn't help but make her feel some rebellious psychology.

She didn't want Su Xuan’s help.

She was about to speak out to deny Su Xuan’s words, but when the words reached her lips, she ultimately didn't say them.

Forget it, considering this guy gave me a gift, I will accept your kindness this time.

The King of Han turned his head and asked Princess Honglian: "Princess Honglian, is what Mr. Su said true?"

Princess Honglian nodded gently.

After learning the truth, the King of Han’s eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly.

This answer was beyond his expectations.

He had not expected that in just a few days, having only met once before, Princess Honglian and Su Xuan had already established a close friendship.

This couldn't help but make him think of the idea he had rejected a few days ago.

Arranging a marriage for Su Xuan, forming an alliance with Su Xuan, and making Su Xuan his own person.

This matter seemed to have a lot of potential.

But soon, the King of Han rejected this thought again.

It was not that easy to marry his daughter.

However, through Su Xuan’s words this time, he had overlooked one thing.

"It was my negligence. I only thought that Mr. Su was refining elixirs and cultivating and could not be disturbed, but I forgot that in this palace, Mr. Su has no acquaintances, and many places are guarded by soldiers and forbidden to go..." The King of Han said to Su Xuan with an apologetic tone: "I will give Mr. Su a token later. With this token, Mr. Su can walk freely in this palace and come and go as he pleases."

"If you feel that the Wang Gong is boring in your spare time, you can also go out of the palace to see. There are quite a few places to visit in my Xinzheng!"

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty!" Su Xuan also knew when to stop and thanked the King of Han.

He was just resolving the embarrassment for Princess Honglian out of courtesy, but he did not expect the King of Han to imagine so much, and there was an unexpected surprise.

A token that allows one to walk freely in the palace and come and go as one pleases seems useless, but it is actually very useful.

Since the King of Han gave him such a gift.

He naturally had to return the favor and make the rich dog rely on him more and more.

After his thoughts flickered, he asked the King of Han: "Has the elixir I gave Your Majesty a few days ago been used up?"

The King of Han was startled and said: "There is still some left." He hurriedly praised Su Xuan: "I have to say, Mr. Su’s elixir is truly magical, the best I have ever seen in my life!"

In the past, the imperial physicians in the palace had also prescribed him nourishing and conditioning medicines, but the effects were average.

At the very least, he had never seen any elixir with the effect of the one Su Xuan gave him; it was simply an immediate effect.

Su Xuan said: "I have been quite lucky recently and have just finished a furnace of elixirs. I originally planned to give it to Your Majesty after you finished the previous bottle, but since Your Majesty is here now, I will give it to you."

While speaking, Su Xuan beckoned casually, and a bottle of elixirs flew from the medicine shelf not far away and fell into his hand.

Princess Honglian had seen Su Xuan beckon for a medicine bottle once before, and this was the second time, so she was not surprised.

The surprise and shock were all given to that first time.

The King of Han was seeing such a scene for the first time, and his awe of Su Xuan deepened a bit more.

He carefully took the elixir handed by Su Xuan and then carefully put it away.

Afterward, he did not disturb Su Xuan for too long.

After saying a few words casually, he left.

Leaving with him was Princess Princess Honglian.

Although Su Xuan said that Princess Honglian came here to chat with him, this was not a reason for Princess Honglian to break in here; she had violated some of his bans after all.

Moreover, a man and a woman alone in the same room, especially the woman, who was his precious daughter, the King of Han still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
