Especially today, she played a cruel trick on the Silver Moon Pavilion.
“Don’t look at me like that. Of course, I’m afraid of the Silver Moon Pavilion, but didn’t I bring you here? Now you belong to me. According to the rules of the Silver Moon Pavilion, you’re mine forever.” Su Yingxue blinked her beautiful eyes.
Zi Wei’s face remained expressionless. “Hmm.”
“Since you’re mine, I must cure you. Rest in your room for two hours, and I’ll prepare the medicine for you,” Su Yingxue replied crisply.
“Why do I need medicine?” Zi Wei was confused.
“You’re severely poisoned and don’t have much time left. I want to cure you!” Su Yingxue answered clearly.
“No need to make an effort.”
A trace of darkness crossed Zi Wei’s eyes.
Death is easier than living.
“No! You belong to me, and you have great use for me. I can’t let you die too soon. Behave, go rest over there, and I’ll call you when the medicine is ready.” Su Yingxue patted his shoulder and then turned around, disappearing behind the screen.
Zi Wei couldn’t see her anymore, but his hearing was excellent. He could hear her rummaging and preparing the medicine, stirring a strange feeling within him.
Su Yingxue came out with the medicine. Zi Wei had been sitting by the table, but the moment he heard her faint footsteps, he opened his eyes, and a murderous intent filled the air.
Su Yingxue handed him the medicine. “Drinking it will alleviate your pain.”
Zi Wei took the medicine and drank it all in one go without any hesitation or doubt.
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but laugh. “Aren’t you afraid that I might have given you poisoned medicine?”
“Is that all you can say?”
Su Yingxue sighed inwardly. Just as she expected, he wouldn’t say more than a word.
Before going to sleep, she instructed, “You can rest in my courtyard for the next few days. You can choose any room you like.”
With him guarding her, Su Yingxue could sleep peacefully, even if she was worried about the Silver Moon Pavilion’s retaliation.
After all, this person’s martial arts were truly unmatched.
In the future, if he wasn’t taken away by her, he would be sent to kill the Emperor of Dong Zhou and bring back his head.
Although Su Yingxue didn’t know who had given the order, her memories from her previous life were enough to let her know that this person could protect her.
With Zi Wei’s protection, the Silver Moon Pavilion had sent three groups of assassins, all of whom failed and returned empty-handed.
Hong Lian was trembling with anger at the Silver Moon Pavilion. She even harbored thoughts of killing Su Yingxue herself. However, she suddenly received an invitation from Chu Yihan.
The Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Yihan’s table, which was previously covered with memorials and military books, now held a few miscellaneous books.
Although they were called miscellaneous books, Chu Yihan still read them earnestly.
Mo Qi stood by Chu Yihan’s side and occasionally glanced at him. When he noticed Chu Yihan’s confusion, Mo Qi said, “Master, please put that aside for now. Hong Lian will arrive soon. You can ask her.”
Chu Yihan furrowed his brows impatiently. “Go and fetch her.”
Mo Qi sighed and quickly made his way to the Silver Moon Pavilion. Fortunately, he encountered Hong Lian on the way.
Hong Lian’s brows were tightly furrowed. “Your Highness summoned me. What urgent matter requires my presence?”
Mo Qi noticed her anxiety and playfully teased her, “Of course, it’s a matter of great importance! Otherwise, would Your Highness be so anxious to find you?”
Hong Lian became even more nervous upon hearing this. She hurriedly arrived at the Prince’s mansion and entered Chu Yihan’s study. She respectfully cupped her hands, a hint of urgency in her gesture. “Your Highness, I apologize for the delay because I have something to handle at the Silver Moon Pavilion. I hope you won’t be displeased.”
Chu Yihan was reading something he didn’t understand. He handed the book to Hong Lian and said, “I don’t understand what this book is about. Please explain it to me..”
