Fengyue Tower is the best restaurant in Shangjing. Most of the guests it receives are princes and nobles. The restaurant is located diagonally opposite Su Yunling's pharmacy.

Su Yunling originally thought that Xiao Jichen's personality would make him reject her invitation, but she didn't expect that he would actually accept it directly.

This undoubtedly caught Su Yunling off guard.

[I was just being polite. Why doesn't this person play by the rules? The food at Fengyue Tower is so expensive. How can I make a little money by selling medicine?]

Su Yunling was complaining in her heart, but she always had a decent smile on her face.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Xiao Ji Chen did not expose her. He turned around and asked the shopkeeper for the most expensive private room.

"Snapped--"

For a moment, I seemed to hear something breaking. It was the little fox's heart that loved money so much.

[Wow wow wow… my money, why are you asking for more for no reason? Why did you come to Fengyue Tower? Why are you pretending to be so cool? ]

Xiao Ji Chen had his back to her, so she didn't notice the corners of his lips that he couldn't suppress.

Inside the private room, there is a table full of delicacies that are dazzling to the eyes.

Xiao Ji Chen personally handed the chopsticks on the chopstick pillow to Su Yunling.

"Please treat your lifesaver to a good meal. Will the county lady feel bad?"

Su Yunling smiled stiffly, "Why would it hurt?" It's all broken, how can it hurt?

"The Queen's birthday is in half a month. Has the county lady received the invitation?" Xiao Ji Chen stopped teasing her and turned to business.

"Yeah." Su Yunling nodded.

"My people heard some bad news in Caiyue Tower. Would you like to hear it, County Lady?"

"Please speak, my lord."

Xiao Jichen's nonchalant tone was filled with coldness, "Xiao Nanchuan and Su Yueying are planning to team up to set a trap for you. He wants to make it a done deal with you and force you to submit..."

Su Yunling was obviously stunned after hearing what Xiao Jichen said.

This didn't happen in the original plot, because after she submissively took the blame for Su Yueying and was released, Xiao Nanchuan welcomed her into the Prince Rui's Mansion as promised.

A lot of things have changed since she awakened.

"How could Xiao Nanchuan be so despicable? I really overestimated him." Su Yunling slammed her chopsticks in anger.

"What are the county lord's plans?" Xiao Ji Chen was neither anxious nor impatient.

Su Yunling rolled her beautiful and lively eyes, and the corners of her lips curved under the veil. She already had an idea.

"Of course I countered his moves. However, thank you, Prince Junyang, for telling me. In return, I will also tell you a secret!"

Xiao Jichen lowered his eyes and looked at Su Yunling, "I'd like to hear the details."

"Beware of Su Yueying. Her ambitions cannot be satisfied by the Queen alone. Instead of sending people to keep an eye on me, you should keep a closer eye on her."

When Xiao Ji Chen heard this, there was a look of shock on his face for a moment, and then he felt helpless.

"I'm sorry, I've been away from the capital for a long time, so I'm a little curious about the county lady, but I have no ill intentions."

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here peacefully with the prince."

"However, how did the county lady know that this prince has spies around you?" Xiao Ji Chen's curious phoenix eyes were deep and bright.

Su Yunling almost laughed out loud when talking about this matter. "The one sent by the prince is called Qingying, right? Why don't you ask him in person?"

Xiao Ji Chen obviously realized something and immediately ordered someone to call back Qingying, whom he had not seen for several days.

And Su Yunling didn't get to eat in the end, because Su Zhaohong found out from somewhere that she had beaten the princess and came to the pharmacy.

She could only say goodbye first.

But when he went to the counter to pay, he was told that the meal bill had already been paid by Xiao Jichen.

She was stunned for a moment. What's wrong with the villain? He's actually quite nice!

When Su Yunling returned to the pharmacy to deal with Su Zhaohong, Qingying was also urgently called back.

Xiao Jichen's eyes were cold, "Tell me! When were you exposed?"

Under pressure from his master, Qingying had to confess the truth.

Even though Xiao Ji Chen had thought of many possibilities, he never expected that his carefully selected assassins would fall into the "beauty trap".

It turned out that as early as when Qingying went to investigate and track Su Yunling for the first time, he was discovered by Bingzhi and Xia Lu, who were responsible for protecting Su Yunling.

When the three of them were about to fight, Qingying was bewitched by the two women's stunning looks and was defeated on the spot without a fight.

Later, he still secretly stared at Su Yunling from a distance, but most of the time he was looking at the two beautiful guards.

"Fei Peng, take him back and get fifty strokes of the cane."

"Yes!"

Qingying knew that she had made a serious mistake, so she had to follow Feipeng back without saying a word to receive punishment.

Just when he was beaten and wanted to continue to fight for the task, he was rejected by Xiao Jichen.

"There's no need to keep an eye on County Lady Hemin. Fei Peng, go and keep an eye on that Saint Lady yourself..."

Su Yueying wanted to instigate Su Yunling to suffer a great loss at the hands of Princess Chaoyang, but she never expected that it was Princess Chaoyang who suffered the loss.

"It is said that the princess's stomach is bruised. Even if the princess does not make it public for the sake of Prince Su, the emperor will find out sooner or later."

At the Su Mansion, Su Yueying was telling Su Zhaohong and his son about the trouble Su Yunling had caused this time, exaggerating it.

The father and son felt as if the sky had fallen. What a noble status did Princess Chaoyang have?

This time, Su Yunling hurt them so badly. If Emperor Jing Zhao blamed them, I'm afraid that except for the saint Su Yueying, the entire Su family would suffer.

Su Zhaohong seemed to have aged ten years in one day, and the way her three brothers looked at Su Yunling was as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Su Jingyi suggested: "Dad, this matter cannot be concealed. Rather than being punished by the emperor and implicate the whole family, it is better to tie up Su Yunling now and send him to the princess to plead guilty."

The corners of Su Yueying's mouth curled up slightly under the round fan. Humph, Su Yunling's hard days are finally about to begin again.

Su Zhaohong agreed to his eldest son's proposal without even thinking about it. The disaster was caused by Su Yunling, so naturally she had to bear the responsibility.

Therefore, Su Zhaohong immediately ordered that Su Yunling be locked up first, and sent to plead guilty after the morning court tomorrow.

Su Yunling rarely resisted and cooperated and returned to her Qiyunxuan.

She had to hurry up and make plans.

"Miss, I heard that you beat the princess this time. The princess is notoriously bad. What should we do? Even if you are right, what if she does something sneaky to us? We won't be able to defend ourselves!" Lily of the Valley was extremely anxious.

"What are you afraid of? The best defense is offense. I won't give her the chance to hurt me..."

Late at night, the bustling Yongning Street finally quieted down in the second half of the night.

At one o'clock in the morning, two dark shadows climbed over the wall and entered from the back door of Baicao Hall.

They pushed open the wooden door of the pharmacy with just a dagger.

After the two entered the pharmacy, they acted separately. When they took out the medicine powder hidden in their sleeves and were about to mix it into various medicinal materials, they were frightened by a scream coming from above their heads.

"Catch the thief! There's a thief... There's a thief..." A mynah bird flapped its wings and screamed at the top of its voice.

The medicine boy who stayed overnight in the medicine hall lit the oil lamp...

The two were exposed before they could take any action, and in order to avoid being caught, they immediately fled the same way they came.

But what they didn’t expect was that as soon as they jumped off the courtyard wall, they were caught in a fishing net.

A dozen torches quickly surrounded them, and before the two could react, they were beaten with sticks until they saw stars...
