Chapter 22: Deep Palace Loneliness, How to Relieve Worries?

"Father..."

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 bear the responsibility?"

"I..."

Honglian felt a bit aggrieved. How did she ruin Su Xuan's cultivation?

She didn't expect that just breaking into Su Xuan's place would make her father so angry.

Her father in the past wouldn't have scolded her like this.

'Father, you have changed...'

She thought in her heart. The good impression she originally had for Su Xuan because of a bottle of "Fragrance-Condensing Pill" also vanished, and then she felt some resentment. In her view, the reason why her father no longer cared for and doted on her as before was all because of Su Xuan.

Just when Honglian was thinking this.

Su Xuan spoke: "The King doesn't need to be like this."

"Princess Honglian did not disturb my cultivation. On the contrary, in this deep palace, refining pills alone is sometimes really lonely. 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 didn't expect Su Xuan to give such an answer.

Honglian was also stunned, not because of Su Xuan's words, but because before this, she had heard another 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 makes it hard to know what Su Xuan is thinking.

However, 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 Honglian understood this, her arrogant 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 finally didn't say them.

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

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

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 didn't expect that in just a few days, having only met once before, Honglian and Su Xuan had established a close friendship.

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

Bestow marriage to Su Xuan, form an alliance with Su Xuan, and make Su Xuan his own person.

This matter seems to have a lot of potential.

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

It is not that easy to marry his daughter.

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

"It was my negligence. I only thought that Mr. Su was refining pills and cultivating and couldn't be disturbed, but I forgot that in this palace, Mr. Su has no acquaintances, and many places are guarded by guards 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 are free and feel that this Royal Palace is boring, you can also go out of the palace to see. There are still quite a few places to play in my Xinzheng!"

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

He just wanted to resolve the embarrassment for Honglian out of face, but he didn't expect the King of Han to make up so much, and there was an unexpected surprise.

A token that can 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 has 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 you a few days ago been used up?"

The King of Han was stunned 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 such an effect as the one Su Xuan gave him; it was an immediate effect.

Su Xuan said: "I have been lucky recently and have just refined a new batch of elixirs. I originally planned to give them to you after you finished the previous bottle. Since you are here now, I will give them to you."

As he spoke, Su Xuan summoned again, and a bottle of elixirs flew from the medicine shelf not far away and fell into his hand.

Honglian had seen Su Xuan summon a medicine bottle with a wave of his hand once before, and this was the second time, so she was not surprised.

The surprise and shock were all given to the previous time.

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

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

Afterwards, he didn't disturb Su Xuan for too long.

After saying a few words, he left.

Princess Honglian also left with him.

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

Moreover, a man and a woman in the same room, especially the woman who was his precious daughter, the King of Han always felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
