Chapter 750 Su Wuming 49
Chapter 750 Su Wuming 49
Although the princess didn't quite understand why Chu Hua was so obsessed with the status of women, the enthusiasm and determination in her eyes deeply touched Taiping.
Especially the tears flashing in the corners of her eyes made the princess feel that the fairy really wanted to change the woman's destiny.
She was touched by this sincere emotion and felt a sense of admiration in her heart.
Princess Taiping nodded solemnly, her eyes firm: "Fairy, I promise you. I will do my best to let the women of the Tang Dynasty have their own world."
She paused, as if she remembered something, and added: "It's just... I'm afraid that the imperial examination is..."
She looked embarrassed, after all, allowing women to take the imperial examination was unheard of.
Chu Huan understood her concerns and smiled slightly: "Princess, don't worry, we can take our time with this matter."
Chu Huan walked out of the princess's mansion, took a long breath, and rubbed her stiff cheeks.
It is really not easy to maintain the "fairy" persona. You have to keep an elegant smile at all times and utter a few philosophical words from time to time. It is more tiring than solving a case.
She took out a small mirror from her sleeve, looked at herself in the mirror, and adjusted her slightly messy hair. Fortunately, her makeup was not smudged and her image was still perfect.
At this time, the sky was already turning pale, and the light of the morning sun shone on the earth, dispelling the darkness of the night. Chu Hua looked up at the sky, secretly calculating the time in her heart.
Su Wuming was imprisoned in Jinwu Prison and should be released soon. She had to return to her apartment before he came out, so that he wouldn't find out that she had gone to the princess's mansion.
Su Wuming returned to his apartment, opened the door, and saw Chu Hua sitting at the table, fiddling with a teacup with her slender fingers. He looked around and noticed that the clothes that were originally scattered in the room had been neatly stacked together, and the two bundles were neatly placed on the bed. It was obvious that they had packed everything and were ready to leave at any time.
He was stunned and looked at Chu Hua in confusion.
"My Su Sima, let's go."
How could Chu Huan know that he was demoted to Nanzhou, and even held the position of Sima.
"How did Huan'er know?"
"Have you forgotten where I came from? Let's go. I'm hungry."
Su Wuming was speechless for a moment. Chu Huan's incoherent words made him confused. He could only suppress his doubts temporarily and smiled helplessly: "Huan'er is right, it's time to eat some food."
"It's just... the princess asked me to leave for Nanzhou immediately and forbade me to ride a horse. If Huan'er follows me, I'm afraid she will..." Su Wuming paused halfway through his words, as if he had difficulty uttering the word "suffer".
He imagined Chu Hua's delicate skin being burned by the scorching sun and her slender body shaking on the rugged mountain road, and he felt a pang of pity in his heart.
"What? You want to chase me away?!"
Chu Huan opened her eyes wide and glared at Su Wuming in pretended anger, with her hands on her hips, as if to say "Just try and chase me away if you dare."
When Su Wuming looked at her like this, the worry in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a barely perceptible pampering.
He coughed lightly, trying to cover up his gaffe: "Huan'er, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just... the journey to Nanzhou is long and the conditions are difficult. I'm worried that Huan'er's delicate body can't stand the fatigue of the journey."
Chu Hua became even more excited when she heard this. She curled her lips and her eyes were instantly filled with tears, as if they were about to burst out in the next second: "Su Wuming, what do you mean? Do you think I'm a burden to you? Do you think I'm too delicate? Do you think I can't endure hardship?"
Su Wuming suddenly panicked and explained in a panic.
The more he explained, the more confused he became. He was already poor at speaking to Chu Hua, and now his words were even more incoherent.
Seeing him at a loss, Chu Huan burst out laughing, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, making her look particularly playful and cute.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding." She took a step forward and gently patted Su Wuming's shoulder, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "You are the number one detective in the Tang Dynasty, but you were scared like this by me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"
Su Wuming finally realized that he had been fooled. He shook his head helplessly, but felt relieved. He looked at Chu Hua, who was smiling like a flower, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He reached out and gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and said gently: "Huan'er, don't scare me again, I can't stand this kind of torture."
"I'm going to be frank with you. You, Su Wuming, are mine now. If you dare to chase me away..." Chu Hua deliberately prolonged the last syllable of the sentence. Her almond-shaped eyes rolled around, and her cunning gaze fell on Su Wuming.
Su Wuming was stunned by her sudden "declaration of sovereignty", and a blush crept up his ears. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to respond.
This girl is really... bold.
Seeing his dazed look, Chu Hua secretly laughed in her heart and continued, "Why? You don't want to? If you don't want to, I'll leave now and let you go to Nanzhou to eat sand alone!"
Having said this, she pretended to turn around and leave.
"Don't." Su Wuming quickly grabbed her wrist, and the soft and smooth skin he touched made his heart tremble. He coughed lightly to cover up his loss of composure.
"Huan'er is willing to go with me, so Wuming is naturally more than happy to accept it."
"That's good enough." Chu Huan withdrew her hand with satisfaction, a sweet smile on her face, as beautiful and charming as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
The two of them put their luggage away, and Su Wuming carefully bought many of Chu Huan's favorite cakes and candied fruits. Then they left the bustling Chang'an City together and embarked on the long journey to Nanzhou.
After leaving Chang'an City and heading south, Su Wuming suddenly stopped at the foot of a mountain. A plant he had never seen before on the roadside, with green leaves swaying gently in the breeze and a few strange fruits on it, caught his attention.
"Huan'er, look at this plant, it's really strange." He pointed at the plant and said to Chu Huan. Chu Huan followed his gaze and also found it strange.
Su Wuming took out paper and pen from his bag, ready to sketch this strange plant.
"Waste your energy, just go away!" Chu Huan pushed Su Wuming away, took out her cell phone, and took a picture of the strange plant with a click.
"Modern technology, do you understand? Just scan it and you will get all the information."
Su Wuming looked at the "small cube" in her hand that was flashing with light. He had seen Huan'er use it many times, and each time it refreshed his understanding.
"Cheese!" Chu Hua raised her phone, made a scissors sign, and smiled. Su Wuming stood beside her awkwardly, not used to the sudden "click" sound, and even less used to this strange photo-taking posture.
