Watching Zi Wei leave, Su Yingxue felt a twinge of reluctance but also a heavy burden lifted.
Regardless of whether she could cure the plague this time, at least she wouldnât implicate Zi Wei.
She had always hoped that he could live like a normal person.
âHahaha, what a good show of affection so entwined!â
Hong Lianâs bold laughter came from outside the door, sharply contrasting with the silent night.
Unlike the fear of Zi Wei contracting the disease just a moment ago, Su Yingxue stepped out and approached Hong Lian. âPavilion Master Hong Lian, did you come for a stroll to my place at this late hour? Youâre so free.â
With every word she said, she took a step closer to Hong Lian.
She didnât bring Assassin No. 19 with her today, and her eyes that were blinded by her poison had also recovered their sight.
Her long hair fluttered in the moonlight, and her eyes were full of pride. âAs someone nearing death, of course, 1 have to take a few more glances at you. Otherwise, when your body starts to decay and pus, not even the features can be distinguished. That would be quite unappetizing.â
Su Yingxue stood in front of Hong Lian, a seductive smile blossomed on her beautiful face. âPavilion Master Hong Lian, how do you conclude that Iâm nearing death?â
âYou canât cure the deadly plague.â Hong Lian inched closer to her, her eyes filled with cold and mockery. She looked down on her with pride.
It was as if she was the blazing sun, and she, Su Yingxue, was just a dying cicada after a summer.
However, Su Yingxueâs smile became even brighter. âYou clearly know that I canât cure the deadly plague, yet you come so close without any fear. Pavilion Master Hong Lian, Iâm afraid that this deadly plague was your doing, right?â
Hong Lianâs eyes gleamed sharply as she grabbed Su Yingxueâs neck. âAre you deliberately testing me?â
Su Yingxue didnât resist, but the smile on her lips became even more ethereal. âHong Lian, Iâve been in the medical center for so long. My manager and doctor have all been infected with the deadly plague, and you still dare to touch me. It seems that not only is the deadly plague your doing, but even the poison doctor, Saint Ruan, is also under your control, right?â
After Su Yingxue finished speaking slowly, she grabbed Hong Lianâs hand with her right hand and pulled her in front of her.
The two women looked at each other, and their eyes radiated crimson murderous intent.
âSu Yingxue, as death approaches, savor these last moments!â
Hong Lian shook off her hand and retreated with a cold smile.
âYou can scheme against me, but arenât you the one who had always been infatuated with His Highness? Donât you know that this time he vouched for me? If something happens to me, he wonât be blameless.â Su Yingxueâs eyes were profound, with a probing glint.
âAre you even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as His Highness? His Highness commands tens of thousands of troops, and even the emperor dares not reprimand him! As for you⦠Even if His Highness is implicated by you this time, the Silver Moon Pavilion will surely present a brilliant plan to ensure His Highnessâs safe retreat.â
âWhat you call a safe retreat is to have the poison doctor, Saint Ruan, intervene after my death and cure the deadly plague?â Su Yingxue flipped her hair, her eyes filled with confidence.
âSu Yingxue, go ahead and flaunt your abilities! When youâre dead, Iâll definitely grind your corpse to ashes!â Hong Lian said and then swiftly left.
As she watched her leave, Su Yingxue secretly smirked. She really had to thank this woman who came to see her make a fool of herself!
The mysteries in her mind suddenly unraveled.
Liu Shulan, Silver Moon Pavilion, deadly plague!
Su Yingxue was excited for a moment, but the gleam in her eyes quickly faded.
âWhatâs the use of unraveling all this?â
If she couldnât cure the deadly plague, she wouldnât be able to escape either..
