Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1144 - 674: You Agreed?

"Did you agree?" If he agreed, Seo Ziling thought he would have to plan his future path...

"No"

No? Seo Ziling felt some relief.

"But later, I still agreed."

Seo Ziling was shocked.

He saw Sui Yi resting her face on one hand, looking out the window softly: "I never intended to refuse from the start."

Seo Ziling paused for a moment then asked: "How do you feel about the second young master?"

"Eh?"

Feelings?

Perhaps Sui Yi had always appreciated Seo Ziling as a person, and thought conversation with him was quite comfortable, plus there was a fate-entangled feeling with the Twin Dragon that couldn’t be escaped easily—some things were better told to him.

That Li Shimin, must not be provoked.

Sui Yi thought for a moment and said: "He’s quite impressive and a nice person, my feeling... quite strange."

Strange? When a woman has feelings for a man, it’s generally considered strange...

That kind of stirring.

Seo Ziling pursed his lips slightly and softly said: "If Teacher intends to follow the second young master, Ziling is willing to accompany and lend him a hand."

He could see that Li Shimin was not someone content to be the Li Family’s second young master, coupled with Sui Yi’s subtle implication just now...

Uh, how did it suddenly reverse.

Her real intention was to keep the Twin Dragon away from Li Shimin.

Sui Yi was momentarily stunned, saying: "No need, the reason for engaging with him... is probably because of the strategy of catching someone by letting them go."

Uh? Seo Ziling was dumbfounded for a moment.

"I’m interested in the Princess Ruo around him."

"...."

What it means to have roller-coaster-like emotions—this is probably it. Seo Ziling was caught between joy and sorrow—so Teacher doesn’t feel anything toward Li Shimin, great! But Teacher is interested in that princess from Li Shimin’s family, uh...

Sui Yi couldn’t know what Seo Ziling was thinking, she just knew Li Shimin and that Princess Ruo... might be the two strongest natives in this world for her.

Li Shimin, maybe due to imperial aura, but that Princess Ruo...

Sui Yi’s lips pressed slightly.

Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, and of course also Song Shidao quickly left this residence...

Their destination was the Imperial Court.

Today, was the Emperor’s birthday...

"Second brother, do you like that Mr. Sui?" Li Xiuning suddenly spoke.

"What makes you say that?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Xiuning.

"Uh...maybe not, just feel like you have a special focus on Teacher."

Li Shimin smiled slightly. The smile was somewhat ethereal, and he softly said: "Xiuning, some things can’t be judged just on the surface... This world is never ruled by emotion alone."

This was a subtle admonition.

Li Xiuning understood the meaning, revealing bitterness.

"I understand, second brother, he and I are inherently fated yet unattainable... just... after several life-and-death trials, I’ve still developed some affection for him, maybe second brother doesn’t quite understand such feelings.."

She didn’t know how to say it, maybe feelings themselves are difficult to articulate in words.

And knowing her growing feelings for Kou Zhong day by day, she was deeply aware of the family mission she bore.

"Second brother, perhaps for people of our birth, only those who fully submit to power or fully disregard power can be truly happy."

For those caught between two dilemmas.... it’s the most painful.

Li Shimin said nothing.

A pair of siblings galloped towards the palace that appeared magnificent but subtly decaying.

In the palace, the Emperor’s birthday banquet was even more splendid than those organized by Yang Guang in the past. People from the Four Great Clans arrived, among them high-ranking officials like Du Fuwei, each holding treasures in their escort’s hands, ready to present them at the right moment.

By the time Li Shimin and his sister arrived, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were already mingling with the local dignitaries, after all, as the Li Family’s eldest son, officially recognized, forming an implicit rivalry against the Yuwen Clan’s Yuwen Chengdu opposite them.

Wui Zheng was somewhat gratified by Li Jiancheng’s preemptive move taking advantage of Li Shimin’s absence today, although Li Jiancheng showed a look of indulgence when he saw Dong Shuni, which he wish he hadn’t seen...

Shong Xiufang, Princess Ruo, Sui Yi, Wanwan, and this extremely beautiful, charming Dong Shuni—the eldest son had some inappropriate thoughts toward them all...

That’s definitely not a good thing.

This Dong Shuni was Wang Shichong’s niece, politically speaking... far less suitable than Princess Ruo, and Princess Ruo hadn’t yet married, yet the eldest son had his eyes on Dong Shuni?

Wui Zheng felt he might age a few more years.
