Chapter 250: Prince Jins Residence (1)
In the end, did he figure it out, or did he not? Su Luo felt conflicted, her mind becoming so tangled that it felt like it would knot up.
Your Highness was surrounded by over a dozen maids and servants, who crowded around as the group walked further and further away.
While Su Luo let her thoughts run wild, she rubbed her forehead in frustration and slowly followed the massive entourage.
Ling Feng stood with his arms crossed over his sword, his eyes slightly narrowed as he suspiciously sized up this servant boy.
To be favored by Your Highness and kept by his side to serve, this servant boy's future would surely be limitless. However, Ling Feng suddenly felt that this shifty-eyed and slippery servant gave him a very familiar feeling…
Along the way, Su Luo discovered that Prince Jins Residence was simply resplendent in gold and jade, luxurious and magnificent to the extreme.
There was a new scene every ten steps and a guard every five, with security that was exceptionally tight.
From her vantage point, Your Highness was dressed in a wide black robe with gold trim, just like the status held, so high and mighty that it commanded awe.
Only at this moment did Su Luo truly realize that the person before her was Your Highness, that noble existence surrounded by countless accolades and legends.
And not the Nangong Liuyun who was always grinning, cynical, and doting towards her.
For no reason, a feeling of loss suddenly welled up in Su Luo's heart, a faint bitterness flashing by so quickly that even she hadn't caught it.
In a short while, the crowd escorted Your Highness to the main hall.
The floor was paved with white mutton-fat jade, the bead curtains were made of imperial green jade, and red corals as tall as an adult were placed on both ends—it was opulent, pleasing, luxurious, and grand.
As soon as Your Highness stepped into the bedchamber, the maids swarmed forward, kneeling to remove the crown.
However, the deep and majestic voice of Your Highness rang out: "Retire."
Facing Your Highness, all the maids and guards knelt in obeisance, then respectfully departed with a speed so fast it was almost hard to react to.
At this moment, Su Luo was pressed against the wall, trying hard to minimize her presence. Hearing the order from Your Highness, she stood on her tiptoes, ready to slip away.
However, the dark eyes of Your Highness, deep as the stars, stared fixedly at Su Luo. With a voice that was charming and gentle, a hand was raised towards her: "Come here."
Su Luo's body, halfway through its escape, suddenly froze. She glared in annoyance, but since she was under someone else's roof, she had to bow her head. Su Luo stiffly turned her head, pointed her right hand at herself, and forced a fake smile onto her face: "Your Highness, are you calling me?"
Your Highness had a cold expression, with long, jet-black hair cascading down the shoulders and back like a waterfall.
The head tilted slightly, beautiful eyes sparkling as they stared fixedly at Su Luo, thin lips parting slightly: "What is your name?"
What name? Su Luo felt quite troubled.
Had Nangong recognized her or not? Had he really recognized her or not?
"Do you need this Prince to repeat himself?" Your Highness looked at her lazily with a pair of deep, beautiful eyes, lips curling into a wicked smile.
No, it must be that he didn't recognize her! Su Luo secretly cheered herself on in her heart; the normal Nangong Liuyun was not like this.
Thinking of this, Su Luo felt a little more at ease. She lowered her head and cast her eyes down. After thinking for a long time, the name-challenged Su Luo finally whispered: "This… this lowly one is Su Yun."
Su Luo completely failed to notice the playful smile that flashed across the eyes of Your Highness as the latter stared at the top of her head.
A moment later, Your Highness gave a light cough and finally spoke again: "The surname is not good, but the name is not bad."
