Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the carriage came to a stop, Zi Wei finally spoke, “We’ve arrived.”
Su Yingxue was startled, “When did you come?”
Zi Wei’s voice remained hoarse. “At the prince’s mansion.”
Upon hearing his brief response, Su Yingxue inexplicably became angry. “Fine, I’ll go in first. You follow closely behind me and watch. If something goes wrong, take me away!”
Zi Wei nodded. “Alright.”
To others, the inner palace was a place that they could never enter or infiltrate in their lifetime, but for Zi Wei, it was not a difficult task to bring Su Yingxue out.
However, he noticed that she was unhappy today.
Chu Yihan had been waiting in the mansion for half a day but hadn’t seen Su Yingxue. He sent Mo Qi to the clinic to inquire, only to find out that the genius doctor had already entered the palace.
Mo Qi returned with the report, “Master, did the genius doctor not receive your message? You had given instructions.”
That day, he had personally escorted Su Yingxue’s maid back to the Marquis’s Manor to ensure that Su Yingxue would receive the message.
Why didn’t Su Yingxue wait for His Highness?
Chu Yihan looked at the book on his desk. Hong Lian had made annotations with a red pen wherever he didn’t understand. He flipped to the page about why women didn’t keep their promises and quickly skimmed through it before heading into the palace.
Su Yingxue spent another wasted day in the palace.
The Empress had kept her waiting from noon until sunset, without granting her an audience or providing any news about Su Yurou.
Su Yingxue didn’t want the previous incident of closing the palace door to happen again. Su Yingxue disregarded the obstruction of the palace servants and walked out of the Fengzao Palace.
“Stop! The Empress has not given her decree. Who allowed you to leave?” A shrill-voiced eunuch pointed his delicate fingers and scolded.
“Please ask the Empress when she will issue her decree,” Su Yingxue replied coldly.
“Humph! It is your honor to wait for the Empress. How dare you question Your Majesty? Don’t court death and wait obediently!” The eunuch walked into the palace hall, swaying his buttocks and pointing his fingers.
However, Su Yingxue sensed something was amiss. If she didn’t leave now, she would once again become a prisoner in the palace.
“Men, capture this assassin who tried to assassinate the Empress!”
When the Imperial Guards shouted, Su Yingxue secretly gritted her teeth. As expected!
Zi Wei appeared just in time and led her on a frantic run throughout the palace, closely pursued by the Imperial Guards.
Su Yingxue was worried. “Can we escape? Do you know the layout of the palace?”
Zi Wei answered one by one, “We can. I don’t know.”
Su Yingxue felt a sense of helplessness at his reply. “It’s not convenient for you to carry me. Why don’t you leave me behind and go survey the palace layout, then come back to take me out?”
“Alright.”
Zi Wei gently set her down and hid her behind a rockery, instructing her, “Wait for me.”
His swift speed allowed him to elude the Imperial Guards easily. Anyone who managed to catch up and engage him in combat met a swift demise.
Su Yingxue wasn’t worried about his safety, but it turned out that she was in trouble! contemporary romance
She had been spotted by the Imperial Guards!
“Run, jump into the lake!” Little Ginseng nervously shouted in her mind.
Su Yingxue looked at the deep pool of water. “I don’t know how to swim! Besides, where does this lake lead to?”
“If I say you can, then you can. Hurry, they’re getting closer!” Little Ginseng snapped its fingers, and Su Yingxue plunged into the water with a thud.
When she thought she would struggle in the water, she found herself breathing smoothly. There was no water entering her mouth or nose. She tried moving her arms and legs, and indeed, she was swimming in the water.
“When have 1 ever lied to you? Swim over quickly. There’s nobody in that palace!” Little Ginseng proudly directed her..
