Su Yurou almost crushed the bracelet on her hand, but Han Yuwen told her she couldn’t afford any conflict with Su Yingxue now that she was helping her improve her reputation!
She bit her lip and endured it. “What’s my sister talking about? I don’t understand. If my sister isn’t tired, I’ve been a bit exhausted from the poetry recitals these past two days. I’ll go back and rest.”
“Su Yurou, have you learned to restrain yourself?”
Su Yingxue grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of her. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s as if she could see through Su Yurou in an instant.
“Su Yingxue, what do you want? If something happens to me now, the Eldest Princess will seek justice for me!”
Su Yurou repeated what Han Yuwen had taught her.
Su Yingxue smiled and said, “If something happens to you, she will naturally seek justice for you. But what if you just fell asleep?”
Before Su Yurou could react, Su Yingxue stabbed a needle into her neck, and she collapsed to the ground.
Yuan Ruo dropped the things in her hands and was about to run out in a panic when Su Yingxue said lightly, “Stop her.”
A black shadow descended from the sky, and Zi Wei’s blade pressed against Yuan Ruo’s heart, forcing her to retreat.
Seeing Zi Wei’s iceberg-like face, Yuan Ruo was so scared that her legs went weak. “Eldest Young Miss, please spare me! Eldest Young Miss, please spare my life!”
“Tell me everything that your Miss and Han Yuwen did, and 1 won’t kill you.”
Su Yingxue glanced at Su Yurou on the ground and gave her another injection.
“I don’t know! The Eldest Princess was talking to Miss, so I could only stand guard outside. 1 didn’t know anything and didn’t hear anything!”
Yuan Ruo knelt on the ground, trembling like a sieve.
Under Zi Wei’s blade, her frightened eyes didn’t look like she was lying.
“Zhilan, throw the two of them back to Sunset Court. If the Eldest Princess comes to ask for her again, just say that she is asleep.”
Su Yingxue clapped her hands, and Zhilan immediately sent Su Yurou and Yuan Ruo back.
Zi Wei followed Su Yingxue back to the accounts room to check the recent expenditures in the residence.
“To prevent future troubles,” Zi Wei said coldly.
If Zi Wei killed Su Yurou, Su Yingxue wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble.
Su Yingxue shook her head. “Han Yuwen wants to deal with me. She has already dragged Su Yurou into everyone’s sights. If you kill her now, Han Yuwen will undoubtedly exploit her to cause trouble for me.”
“I’ll kill her for you.” Zi Wei held his saber. All his problems could be solved with the weapon in his hand.
Su Yingxue propped her chin up and looked at him with a hint of envy in her eyes. “If only everything could be resolved so easily. But in this world, there’s always fairness and schemes. Otherwise… There will be blood everywhere!”
Su Yingxue sighed, but Zi Wei couldn’t understand.
But he knew to listen to orders.
If she didn’t let him do it, he wouldn’t move and would only protect her.
After Su Yingxue was done with the matters at hand, she went to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to wait.
Chu Yihan had stayed in the palace for three days before he came out. The pressure around him was very low. When he saw Su Yingxue, his expression did not change. Instead, he went straight to the study.
Su Yingxue followed him to the study room, and Mo Qi passed a bamboo tube to her. “I’ve just received news from the border. Miss Su, please pass it to Your Highness.”
“Hey, I…” Su Yingxue wanted to stop him. Was it alright to just give her such a secret?
Su Yingxue felt that it wasn’t appropriate for her to pass the bamboo tube to Chu Yihan.
She braced herself and walked up to Chu Yihan, holding the bamboo tube. “Your Highness, the latest news from the border.”
“Read it.” Chu Yihan’s entire body was cold as if it was the ninth day of winter.
Su Yingxue trembled. “It’s a border secret. I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to read it out, right?”
What if it was some military secret?
