After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Yun Ting went to participate in disaster relief, which took at least one or two months. After arranging things in the capital, he made a final trip back to the Prince Su's residence.

Upon arriving at the main house of Furong Pavilion, Yunting said to Zhang Chenglin, who was guarding the door, "I've come to see the Prince."

Zhang Chenglin pointed to the study at the other end of the corridor, "The prince went to the study."

Yun Ting lowered his eyes. "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Zhang Chenglin shook his head: "The prince didn't say."

They were guards, only responsible for protecting their master's safety, and had no right to interfere in their master's actions.

Yun Ting didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the study.

As soon as Yunting reached the door of the study, he heard a hoarse cough coming from inside.

Pushing open the study door, he saw Xiao Yu slumped over the desk, coughing, with a handkerchief covering his lips. His already pale face looked even paler.

Yunting hurriedly stepped forward, skillfully took out a medicine bottle from Xiao Yu's arms, poured out a pill, and fed it to Yunting.

As Xiao Yu swallowed the pill and gasped for breath, Yun Ting noticed a bright red bloodstain on the handkerchief in Xiao Yu's hand.

Yun Ting paused, holding her teacup, and frowned, saying, "Wasn't it supposed to provide temporary relief? Why is she coughing up blood?"

After catching his breath, Xiao Yu finally calmed down. He gripped the handkerchief in his hand and used it to cover up the bloodstains.

Xiao Yu looked at the handkerchief in his hand and said, "It seems that the backlash has already begun."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Yun Ting's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a sledgehammer, sending an uncomfortable tremor through it.

But isn't this exactly what he wanted?

"What is it?" Xiao Yu asked.

He knew Yun Ting; Yun Ting wouldn't come over unless there was something going on. Seeing him would remind Yun Ting of his own despicable nature, making him ashamed to face him.

Yun Ting said, "Today I went to the palace to see the emperor, introduced by Lin Ju. Tomorrow I will be Han Feng's deputy, accompanying Yang Yun, Jiang Siyuan, Meng Chengyou and others to Yuzhou for disaster relief."

For everyone, this was a major step forward in the path of revenge.

Although Yun Ting desperately wanted Xiao Yu dead and everything he possessed, at this moment, all he wanted was to tell Xiao Yu the news.

He wanted to tell Xiao Yu that he had no one in the palace to help him, that he had dealt with the emperor alone, and that he had successfully gained the emperor's trust.

See, he can do it even without Xiao Yu.

"very good."

With just two simple words, and no further explanation, Xiao Yu got up and left the study.

Yun Ting followed behind Xiao Yu. Before leaving the study, she glanced back and looked around. There was nothing unusual, except for a few travelogues scattered on the table.

As Yunting left the study, she casually closed the door behind her. When she turned around, Xiao Yu was already walking leisurely toward the main house.

He was somewhat disappointed by Xiao Yu's reaction.

He recalled how, after returning from a mission, Xiao Yu would smile and say to him and Yan Qing with satisfaction, "You did a good job."

never mind!

That's not what he wanted. Once you've made your choice, don't look back.

Su Lingyue had just finished making Xiao Yu's pills and came out of the Hundred Herbs Garden when she ran into Yan Qing, who was coming out of Muyun Pavilion.

"Your Highness, everything inside has been prepared. Tomorrow morning at 3:45 AM is an auspicious time. If we don't move now, we'll have to wait a few more days."

Having lived in Furong Pavilion for a year, Su Lingyue felt quite reluctant to leave. However, the pavilions and towers of Muyun Pavilion were even more beautiful, and it was also a token of her uncle and cousin's affection; it would be a waste to leave such a fine courtyard untouched.

"Then let's officially move in tomorrow."

"Alright!" Yan Qing patted his chest. "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make sure the ceremony is a great success."

The group walked together to the entrance of Furong Pavilion and saw Yunting come out from inside.

Yun Ting also noticed them on the path not far away. After gazing deeply at Su Lingyue, he nodded in greeting.

"Hey kid, I haven't seen you for days, where have you been?" Yan Qing greeted Yun Ting familiarly, and the two left side by side while talking.

As Su Lingyue watched Yun Ting's departing figure, she felt that something was off about him; his eyes seemed even colder.

Back at Furong Pavilion, Su Lingyue pushed open the door to the main room and saw Xiao Yu sitting at the table with a medicine box in his hand.

Su Lingyue walked to his side and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu said gently, "Yue'er's return is just in time."

He took the handkerchief from his hand, and Su Lingyue saw a patch of bright red blood on the handkerchief, as well as a bleeding index finger.

The wound was deep, about an inch long, and blood was gushing out.

Su Lingyue's eyes immediately reddened. "What happened? I was only gone for half an afternoon."

Before she could ask why, Su Lingyue accurately found the hemostatic medicine in the medicine box. Just before she was about to sprinkle the powder on it, Su Lingyue's heart trembled inexplicably when she saw the bright red blood gushing out.

The gathering red droplets drew Su Lingyue's gaze. Under Xiao Yu's astonished gaze, as if possessed, Su Lingyue lowered her head and licked away the drop of blood that was about to fall. Then, she pursed her lips and tasted the blood in her mouth, as if she were savoring something delicious, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

Xiao Yu's heart trembled.

He stared intently at the bloodstains remaining on Su Lingyue's lips, as if they were specially made rouge for her, adding a touch of deep red to her healthy, light red lips, like a ripe fruit.

While Xiao Yu was lost in thought, Su Lingyue had already applied the medicine and bandaged his finger.

"This injury..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu used his intact right hand to lift Su Lingyue's chin and bit down on her lips, which were stained with his blood.

A faint, sweet, and slightly fishy taste lingered on the lips and teeth.

Su Lingyue's eyes, which had initially shown surprise, slowly welled up with tears as she looked at Xiao Yu's face before her and gently closed her eyes.

Only when the bloodstains disappeared did Xiao Yu half-release her. Her lips were moist, yet even more vibrant and alluring than when they were stained with blood.

"Little thing, when did you develop this habit?" Soft fingertips caressed Su Lingyue's lips.

Her misty eyes trembled slightly as she avoided Xiao Yu's gaze, softly defending herself, "No."

She didn't know what had gotten into her. Seeing the drop of blood about to fall, she felt it was a pity and unconsciously lowered her head to swallow it.

"Does my blood taste good?" Xiao Yu asked softly.

"Hmm, it's alright." Su Lingyue felt a little guilty.

Not just okay, it's absolutely fantastic.

Xiao Yu's blood tastes like that.

Just now, as she tasted the fresh blood in her mouth, it felt as if the drop of blood she had swallowed was boiling inside her body. Su Lingyue felt a strange pleasure, which made her happier than if she had eaten candy.

Seeing Su Lingyue's lips curl into a smile, Xiao Yu clicked his tongue twice and said, "What if this little thing gets addicted?"

Xiao Yu had done the same thing before. When kissing her, he couldn't resist biting her lip and greedily savoring her taste.

Because of this delay, Su Lingyue almost forgot the question she wanted to ask. When she pressed for an answer, Xiao Yu pointed to the apple-peeling knife on the table.

Su Lingyue gave a light snort at Xiao Dao and immediately ordered him to leave.

……

If Yunting had been more attentive and removed the travelogues from the desk in the study, he would have seen the hairpin and carving knife underneath.

A hidden compartment has been carved into the hairpin, making it perfect for hiding things.
