On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

The severe pain in Su Sui'an's body did not subside at all. Her lips turned pale and the strands of hair on her temples were already wet with cold sweat.

While Gu Xiuyan was pestering Murong Qian, she staggered away in another direction.

However, once a person is possessed by the spirit of bad luck, it seems that he will always be unlucky.

She had just left Gu Xiuyan's arms, and she turned around and bumped into the arms of another person.

"girl..."

This sound.

In the previous life, it was a nightmare for Su Sui'an.

The eunuch Liu Ying.

No, now Liu Ying is just a eunuch in the Ye Ting who can speak a few words.

Because he was cruel and ruthless and good at flattery, he officially became a subordinate of Concubine Shu after the second branch of the Su family was exterminated. He then rose rapidly to become the eunuch in charge of the Silijian.

Although they appear to be upright on the surface, they still do all kinds of dirty and cruel things behind the scenes.

There may even be various abnormal habits.

In his previous life, Su Sui'an only suspected that this eunuch knew Qin Qing or Zhao Qingwan.

So now, under this situation, Su Sui'an doesn't have to doubt it at all.

Because this drug...

Hearing Liu Ying's voice, Su Sui'an's body trembled almost instinctively.

"Girl, are you drunk? I'll take you downstairs to sober you up."

The sharp and malicious voice was getting closer and closer to him.

"Go away."

The nostrils seemed to be filled with that foul stench again.

Su Sui'an pulled out the hairpin knife that he had pinned in his hair.

She didn't know where it hit, nor did she care.

It was enough for her to know who she had marked.

I heard a scream and my hands seemed to be stained with some sticky liquid.

Su Sui'an tightly grasped the hairpin knife and ran forward as if his life depended on it.

Because today was a palace banquet and the place where she came to sober up was too secluded, even if she made a noise here, not many people would notice.

After running for an unknown amount of time, she missed her step and rolled all the way down, hitting her head hard against a hard object...

When he woke up again, there was a moon hanging high in the sky. Su Sui'an's vision was blurred by the blood in front of him, and all he saw was scarlet.

She felt severe pain in both knees, and under the effect of the drug, she was still in a state of confusion.

Liu Fei's twisted, greasy face and his perverted way of torturing people kept flashing through his mind.

The memories of her past life entangled her tightly like a poisonous snake.

Su Sui'an felt so painful all over his body that he couldn't even breathe...

The whole person fell into a nightmare.

Fu Jingrong accidentally slipped and fell into an abandoned collapsed well while looking for Su Sui'an. After he finally got up, he saw Su Sui'an with a flushed face, raising the hairpin knife and stabbing it towards his throat.

"Sui Sui."

His voice was trembling, and he almost felt like his soul was leaving his body.

Regardless of the fact that his calf was scratched by the gravel, he strode forward, brought the person into his arms, and snatched the hairpin knife from her hand.

His voice successfully attracted Yi Zhi, who was looking for someone, and Gu Xiuyan, who was in a dishevel.

"master..."

Before Yi Fan could speak, Fu Jingrong spoke first.

"Go find the Ninth Prince and ask him to ask the Queen for help. Tell her that Miss Su was frightened by an assassin on the way and has been sent back to the Su Mansion."

There was an almost imperceptible tremor in the voice.

He regretted it.

He shouldn't have believed her "sweet words" about how one should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

He should have ignored his father's objection and followed her when she left...

"She was drugged."

Gu Xiuyan stepped forward and stopped Fu Jingrong with his arm across.

"roll."

The woman's body temperature was scorching hot, and Fu Jingrong felt suffocated like never before.

"She likes me."

"Yi Fan."

Another guard appeared behind Fu Jingrong.

Gu Xiuyan's eyes darkened - to be able to keep his body steady in the palace without being discovered, this guard named "Yi Fan" must be no simple person.

Fu Jingrong took two steps and paused. "I'll settle your account with you later. For now, you should take care of yourself first."

Now is not the time to settle accounts. Duke Gu’s Mansion is still useful and cannot be folded for the time being.

...

At the palace banquet.

As the number of the Imperial Guards increased and the Jinwu Guards joined, the assassins gradually fell into a disadvantage and soon fled.

Emperor Mingqing was sent back to Qianyuan Hall.

The families of other officials were sent back to their respective homes.

Since the assassin came suddenly and aggressively, everyone present was suspected. After returning to their respective residences, except for the Dingbei Palace, all other residences were guarded by the Jinwu Guards.

For a while, everyone in the noble families in Luojing felt in danger.

Among them, the one who trembled the most was Zhao Qingwan.

It was because when she returned to her courtyard, she smelled a strong smell of blood. Not only that, there were also a lot of bloodstains on the ground.

Moreover, the bloodstains extended all the way to the woodshed...

Under the dim light of the palace lamp, it glowed with a strange luster.

"Bright...bright moon..."

Thinking of the magical powers of the group of black-clad men following her, Zhao Qingwan's intuition told her that those bloodstains were definitely not simple.

She nervously grabbed Jiaoyue's hand and said, "You...you go check next door to see if Su Xinhe has fallen asleep."

Su Xinhe did not attend the palace banquet because the fact that a bad guy had sneaked into her yard could not be exposed.

otherwise...

Her already ruined reputation will only be ruined further.

"Miss..." Jiaoyue seemed even more nervous than her, even her voice was trembling, "There is blood on the ground. Let's report it to the police."

"No." The desire to survive overcame the fear in her heart. Zhao Qingwan rejected Jiaoyue's suggestion without any hesitation and saw Jiaoyue's eyes full of suspicion.

She explained patiently, "You can see that there are many imperial guards outside. If this is just a misunderstanding and the imperial guards are alarmed, do you think the Marquis will let us go?"

Ever since Su Qishun arranged Zhao Qingwan's marriage with Su Jincheng in a fit of anger, she has been secretly hating Su Qishun in her heart.

Who the hell is Su Jincheng? How dare he get involved?

But...

In order to survive, she has to get married now...

If I could make Gu Xiuyan change his mind before the wedding date is set and before I marry Su Jincheng...

"Miss..." Qiu Yue, who was not with Zhao Qingwan originally, came back from outside and interrupted Zhao Qingwan's thoughts.

Zhao Qingwan looked at him coldly, and Qiu Yue stopped on the spot.

He glanced at Jiaoyue who looked troubled.

She stopped a little hesitantly.

"What are you doing again?" Zhao Qingwan got angry when she saw Qiu Yue's petty look.

Qi Yue instinctively raised her hand to block, but when she found that Zhao Qingwan did not hit her this time, she spoke carefully, "Miss Xinlian is back."

Su Xinlian.

Another concubine's daughter of Su Qishun who was previously married off by Zhao Qingwan.

Zhao Qingwan's eyelids twitched.

"What did she come back for?"

This is a big beam.

The reason she was able to get away with the scheme against Su Xinlian was because Su Qishun felt guilty towards her and his mother.

Su Xinlian is back now...

What if she knew that she had lost Su Qishun's protection and brought up the previous events again? Given Su Qishun's dislike for her, he might take the opportunity to vent his anger at his mother for deceiving him.

Su Qishun seems honest, but Zhao Qingwan has witnessed with her own eyes the cruel ways in which he abuses his servants in private.

She didn't even dare to think that if Su Qishun really wanted to abuse her...

"I heard that it seems to be because you were in the carriage with... the day before yesterday..."

Under Zhao Qingwan's gaze, Qiu Yue didn't dare to say a single word of what he wanted to say.

The meaning is obvious.

Su Xinlian was implicated by her...

Zhao Qingwan clenched her fists.

"Qiuyue should send one or two trustworthy people to keep a close eye on the movements on the other side."

Until she is sure that the bloodstains are from the powerful people who appeared out of nowhere and wanted to follow her, she can only keep her tail between her legs and behave herself...

"Jiaoyue fetch some water and clean up the bloodstains."

With just a few words, he sent Qiuyue Jiaoyue away.

Zhao Qingwan's heart was beating like a drum as she slowly walked towards her room.

Before she opened the door, the man in black who had appeared in the palace not long ago and followed her orders to drug Su Sui'an was already kneeling behind her, covering his arm that was bleeding.

"I deserve to die for disturbing the young master, but I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I hope the young master can give me a place to stay and heal my wounds."

Zhao Qingwan didn’t notice it before.

It was not until now that she understood where the strange feeling in her heart came from.

Those people called her "Young Master"!!

Could it be that this was someone left behind by her bandit father?
