Chapter 58: Attacking the Empress’s Soft Side
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old butler was in his sixties or seventies. He looked at Su Yingxue with a sincere expression. Su Yingxue had a feeling that if she did not believe him, she would have hurt the old man’s heart.
“Alright.”
After Su Yingxue finished wiping her face, Chu Yihan pulled her to sit beside him. Chu Yihan’s index finger landed on her face, wiping away a drop of water that trickled down from her hair. Catching a whiff of the medicinal fragrance emanating from her, Chu Yihan couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss the tip of her hair. He maintained good control and didn’t kiss her, but his scorching breath enveloped and surrounded her.
Su Yingxue’s heart suddenly lost its rhythm.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Stop jumping! So noisy!” In Su Yingxue’s mind, Little Ginseng jealously rolled its eyes!
Humph! Fool!
Even kissing her required dodging!
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. “Shut up! I’ll settle the score when we get back!”
“What did you say? Settle the score?” Chu Yihan furrowed his brows slightly and asked.
“Of course!” Su Yingxue’s eyes shifted, and a cold light poured forth. “The person who attempted to assassinate me yesterday must be involved with the Empress! 1 will never allow them to chase after me.”
“The Empress is in the palace, and it’s inconvenient for you to deal with her directly. The best approach would be to strike from outside the palace.” Chu Yihan supported his chin and earnestly offered advice.
“If we target her vulnerability outside the palace, her grown son, the Seventh Prince, would be the ideal target.” Su Yingxue blinked. She needed to go back and check on Zi Wei’s condition.
If he woke up, she would have him go and capture Chu Chengye.
“Mm, I’ll provide you with some manpower. Go and do what you need to do.” Chu Yihan made it convenient for Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise. “Your Highness, the Seventh Prince seems to be your nephew…”
Are you so effortlessly giving him up?
Chu Yihan’s expression remained calm. “What does my nephew have to do with me?”
Su Yingxue was speechless.
Your Highness was impressive! contemporary romance
Su Yingxue thought about how it was rare for her to let Zi Wei rest. So, she planned to let him sleep a little longer. With Chu Yihan’s men, she directly captured Chu Chengye after he left the house and dumped him in a secluded, dilapidated courtyard.
Chu Chengye had been weakened by her Softening Tendon Powder and fell to the ground weakly. However, he bit his teeth angrily. “Who are you? How dare you capture me? Are you courting death?”
Su Yingxue, wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat, stepped forward and delivered a kick to Chu Chengye. “Be quiet!”
She loathed noisy and quarrelsome men!
Especially Chu Chengye!
If he shut his mouth, she would at least have something pleasant to look at.
Chu Chengye had been arrogant and proud since childhood. How could he listen to her? He shuffled closer to Su Yingxue’s feet and muttered, “You’d better release me quickly. 1 will spare your life and leave you intact. Otherwise, I will definitely… All!”
Before he could finish, Su Yingxue stomped on his elbow joint, causing him to cry out in pain. She innocently asked, “What were you going to say? What will you do? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”
Chu Chengye was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead bulged. Taking advantage of Su Yingxue lowering her head and approaching him, he gathered the strength he had been storing and suddenly reached out, grabbing her hood.
Su Yingxue immediately covered her face and turned around, while Chu Chengye widened his eyes. He was about to see her face. This detestable woman!
Suddenly, a powerful blow struck the back of his head.
Su Yingxue’s hood fell to the ground, and he was knocked unconscious.
Su Yingxue saw Zi Wei silently landing and let out a long breath. “Are you awake? Do you feel better?”
Zi Wei’s face was cold and expressionless. “Yes.”
“Your complexion looks better.” Su Yingxue reached out to check his pulse, attempting to divert attention away from the fact that she had drugged him..
