Zhao Sui snatched the brocade box, opened it and took a look. Sure enough, there were three palace-protecting pills hidden inside. Before he could be happy, a tiny silver needle suddenly shot out from the brocade box and shot straight into his left eye.

"what!"

He covered his eyes and couldn't help but scream.

"Yun Zai!" Lu Jingning raised his voice.

Yun Zai quickly dodged and snatched the brocade box from Zhao Sui's hand, and handed it over respectfully. Lu Jingning snapped the brocade box shut and glanced at Zhao Sui: "You dare to snatch something that is not yours?"

"Lu Jingning, you bitch, how dare you poison me!" Zhao Sui rushed towards Lu Jingning with gritted teeth, raising his hand as if he was going to hit him.

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly, and the next second he saw Bu Yan's figure in azure blue coming into view. He grabbed Zhao Sui's wrist and squeezed it hard.

Zhao Sui turned around and said in a deep voice: "Bu Yan? Why are you here?"

"Someone reported to the police that there was a troublemaker in Liulizhai. Could it be the prince?" Bu Yan glanced at Zhao Sui with a smile: "Why is the prince so angry?"

Zhao Sui broke free from Bu Yan's hand and said to Lu Jingning with disdain, "I was wondering why you were acting so abnormal recently, returning the items and disassociating yourself from him. It turns out you already found a buyer. Lu Jingning, you really have no shame!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper of Liulizhai came out and said, "Master Bu, the troublemaker is inside, please move."

Bu Yan looked at Zhao Sui with pretended confusion, then turned back to look at Lu Jingning, appearing very indifferent.

Without even saying hello, he followed the shopkeeper and left.

As soon as the person left, Zhao Sui looked a little unnatural. He stopped Lu Jingning and said, "Even if you didn't report to the police, you can't take Baogongwan away today. You must leave it behind. You owe it to Jinglang."

"What is the relationship between the prince and Lu Jinglang? In what capacity do you ask for it?"

Lu Jingning pointed at Zhao Sui with a sharp gaze: "This princess has no intention of provoking you, but you have repeatedly provoked and humiliated this princess. Do you take this princess seriously?"

The voice was quite loud, coming from the prince and the princess, and at the door of a busy lobby, it quickly attracted many people to stop and watch.

"Isn't that the prince of Suguo?"

"It's him."

"A grown man has the nerve to bully others, and he is not afraid of being embarrassed."

Zhao Sui listened to the constant tut-tut sounds behind him, his face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't poisoned her, how could Miss Lu have been injured? I saw injustice and sought justice for Miss Lu, but you, with your dirty mind, wrongly accused her!"

"I have dirty thoughts?" Lu Jingning laughed in anger: "Who just wronged me in public? So far, has the prince of Duke Suguo expressed any apology?"

Zhao Sui whispered, "Aning!"

"Please respect yourself, Prince Suguo." Lu Jingning shook the brocade box in his hand; "Baogongwan is not a unique item. Prince claims to be proficient in literature and martial arts, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is better for him to challenge Liulizhai instead of snatching it from me."

"Princess, the prince has already broken in once." Yun Zai reminded in a neither loud nor soft voice.

Suddenly there was an uproar.

"The prince actually failed to pass the level?"

"No wonder they are snatching here, they are really shameless."

Being accused.

Zhao Sui's face turned pale and blue, and his eyes were hurting, and the anger in his heart kept rising.

"Aning, I'll give you one last chance. Apologize to me immediately, otherwise, I will never forgive you in my life." Zhao Sui threatened in a low voice.

Lu Jingning really couldn't help laughing out loud. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her carefully, and suddenly realized that he was nothing special.

When he lowered his head, he saw two sachets on Zhao Sui's waist. They were obviously embroidered by a woman. How could he be attracted to such an ordinary person?

How stupid!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhao Sui thought she was scared, so he walked towards her and said, "Aning, you are my fiancée, and we will be husband and wife in the future. Family disgrace should not be made public. I am doing this for your own good. Why can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"Zhao Sui!" Lu Jingning recalled the humiliation Zhao Sui had inflicted on her in the past. She spoke word by word, "I was deceived in the past and didn't know that people are treacherous, so I was obsessed with you. Now that I have come to my senses, I feel extremely disgusted when I look at you again!"

Zhao Sui was stunned, not daring to believe what the person in front of him said.

"Without me, your family wouldn't even be able to keep their title. How dare you speak nonsense in front of me? You don't know what you are talking about!"

Lu Jingning ridiculed him back without any hesitation. Seeing Zhao Sui's eyes wide open with an expression of disbelief, she smiled. This was just the beginning.

"Yunzai, let's go back!"

"Yes."

Yun Zai stood in front and protected Lu Jingning as he left.

Zhao Sui was left standing there in shock, hearing laughter from time to time. He looked around and suddenly felt that the people around him were looking at him with contempt, ridicule and mockery.

They were all making fun of him.

He clenched his fists tightly. When had he ever felt so embarrassed in his life?

A fishy smell suddenly surged from his chest. He gritted his teeth and swallowed it back, saying, "Let's go!"

As soon as Zhao Sui got on the carriage, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of thick blood. His body swayed and he fell straight to the ground.

"Sir!"

When Zhao Sui woke up, he had already returned to his own courtyard. He turned his head and saw the wife of Duke Su sitting beside him with an anxious look on her face.

"Sui'er, you're awake." The anger on Lady Su's face had not yet subsided. She said in a deep voice, "What happened in Liulizhai today has caused a lot of uproar and has also reached your father's ears. Your father is very unhappy."

Zhao Sui's heart sank.

"Your father meant that you must please Princess Rouning no matter what, and put the marriage on the agenda when the crown prince returns."

"So anxious?" Zhao Sui was very unhappy. Lu Jingning had humiliated him today, and he had not yet settled the score. He said reluctantly, "I have already sent someone to deliver the hairpin as an apology, but Lu Jingning returned it."

"Sui brother!" Lady Suguo interrupted him, "This is your father's will. There is no room for discussion. No matter what method you use, you must marry her into the family."

This sentence left Zhao Sui speechless. He was the eldest son of the Duke of Suguo Mansion and shouldered a heavy responsibility. Whether the Duke of Suguo Mansion could inherit the title in his generation depended on whether he could successfully marry Lu Jingning.

Zhao Sui lowered his eyes and said softly, "I understand."

The wife of Duke Suguo was also angry. She raised her hand and gently patted Zhao Sui's shoulder: "You have to be patient for now. When she marries, you can vent your anger however you want."

"Yes." He nodded, threw back the quilt, and got up. Suddenly he felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fell into the chair.

Zhao Sui rubbed his brows and opened his eyes again. Suddenly, he felt his left eye was much blurry and there were many double images flashing. He was so scared that he shouted, "Please help, doctor, quickly!"

Soon the doctor arrived and said after examination: "The prince has been poisoned. The poison needle is still in his eye. If the poison is not detoxified in time, he will probably become blind."

"What?" Lady Suguo was speechless, and panickedly asked the doctor to find a way to detoxify her.

The doctor looked embarrassed and said, "This poison has special properties and hurts the eyes. My medical skills are limited. I am afraid I can't cure the poison of the prince."

"Waste!" Lady Suguogong's wife cursed angrily, sent the man away, and asked someone to call the imperial physician.

Two imperial physicians were invited in successively, and they both gave the same answer: the location of the injury was too special and the patient could not be moved casually, nor could they prescribe the right medicine.

Zhao Sui also felt his eye sockets becoming more and more painful. He gritted his teeth and held on, but finally he couldn't hold on any longer and his face showed pain.

"It's Lu Jingning. The antidote must be in Lu Jingning's hands."

Upon hearing this, Lady Suguo stood up without saying a word and said, "I'll go get her medicine!"
