Especially today, she played a cruel trick on the Silver Moon Pavilion.
Wasnât she afraid?
âDonât look at me like that. Of course, Iâm afraid of the Silver Moon Pavilion, but didnât I bring you here? Now you belong to me. According to the rules of the Silver Moon Pavilion, youâre mine forever.â Su Yingxue blinked her beautiful eyes.
Zi Weiâs face remained expressionless. âHmm.â
âSince youâre mine, I must cure you. Rest in your room for two hours, and Iâll prepare the medicine for you,â Su Yingxue replied crisply.
âWhy do I need medicine?â Zi Wei was confused.
âYouâre severely poisoned and donât have much time left. I want to cure you!â Su Yingxue answered clearly.
âNo need to make an effort.â
A trace of darkness crossed Zi Weiâs eyes.
Death is easier than living.
âNo! You belong to me, and you have great use for me. I canât let you die too soon. Behave, go rest over there, and Iâll call you when the medicine is ready.â Su Yingxue patted his shoulder and then turned around, disappearing behind the screen.
Zi Wei couldnât 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. âDrinking it will alleviate your pain.â
Zi Wei took the medicine and drank it all in one go without any hesitation or doubt.
Su Yingxue couldnât help but laugh. âArenât you afraid that I might have given you poisoned medicine?â
âIâm not afraid.â
âIs that all you can say?â
âYes.â
Su Yingxue sighed inwardly. Just as she expected, he wouldnât say more than a word.
Before going to sleep, she instructed, âYou can rest in my courtyard for the next few days. You can choose any room you like.â
Zi Wei didnât nod.
With him guarding her, Su Yingxue could sleep peacefully, even if she was worried about the Silver Moon Pavilionâs retaliation.
After all, this personâs martial arts were truly unmatched.
In the future, if he wasnât taken away by her, he would be sent to kill the Emperor of Dong Zhou and bring back his head.
Although Su Yingxue didnât 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 Weiâs 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 Princeâs Mansion.
Chu Yihanâs 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 Yihanâs side and occasionally glanced at him. When he noticed Chu Yihanâs confusion, Mo Qi said, âMaster, please put that aside for now. Hong Lian will arrive soon. You can ask her.â
Chu Yihan furrowed his brows impatiently. âGo and fetch her.â
Mo Qi sighed and quickly made his way to the Silver Moon Pavilion. Fortunately, he encountered Hong Lian on the way.
Hong Lianâs brows were tightly furrowed. âYour Highness summoned me. What urgent matter requires my presence?â
Mo Qi noticed her anxiety and playfully teased her, âOf course, itâs a matter of great importance! Otherwise, would Your Highness be so anxious to find you?â
Hong Lian became even more nervous upon hearing this. She hurriedly arrived at the Princeâs mansion and entered Chu Yihanâs study. She respectfully cupped her hands, a hint of urgency in her gesture. âYour Highness, I apologize for the delay because I have something to handle at the Silver Moon Pavilion. I hope you wonât be displeased.â
Chu Yihan was reading something he didnât understand. He handed the book to Hong Lian and said, âI donât understand what this book is about. Please explain it to me..â
