Cui Yingyu's hands and feet were tied, and a gag was stuffed in her mouth. She stared at the closed door in anger and despair. No one in the mansion cared about her life or death, and she had not eaten or drunk anything.

The sound of funeral music outside had been heard for three days. As half of the time was passing and there was still no news from Su Yuejian, his heart began to beat fast.

However, on the fourth day, there was a commotion outside, and the funeral music stopped. I heard the sound of a door opening, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. I opened my eyelids weakly, and heard a voice next to my ear again.

"Hey, this hairpin is quite valuable, and so is that porcelain vase!"

The maids mercilessly searched the items in her room and soon ransacked the house. When they were about to leave, they heard a bang.

The two were attracted by the sound, and seeing the head sticking out from the corner of the inner room, they ran away. Just as they ran out, a few servants came and moved away several pear wood tables and chairs in the room. Cui Yingyu didn't know what was going on, and she whimpered to the two servants with her last bit of strength.

"..."

However, no one paid any attention to her. As the last servant walked out of the door, Cui Yingyu's eyes went dark and she completely lost consciousness.

She just felt that she had a very long dream, a beautiful dream. In the dream, she turned into a rich woman, with luxury cars and fine wines, male models, and all kinds of dishes in front of her.

The carnivorous girl drooled, stroking the male model's abdominal muscles with one hand and shaking the red wine glass with the other. Then a well-behaved and handsome male servant handed her a dish, "Baby, try this roast suckling pig..."

"Hehe...suckling pig...suckling pig tastes good." Cui Yingyu smacked her lips with her saliva dripping from her mouth, the smile on her face almost reaching her ears.

Xuan Shuang, standing there, had a face as dark as it could be. The princess was kind enough to examine her, but she actually hugged the princess's arm, kissing and nibbling it. What kind of suckling pig is this?!

He held Su Yuejian behind him, and his arms suddenly became empty, as the suckling pig flew away. Cui Yingyu opened her eyes in confusion, looking at the unfamiliar bed curtains in front of her, blinked, closed her eyes, opened them again, closed her eyes, and opened them again, repeating this over and over again.

"Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Hearing the sound, she suddenly looked at Su Yuejian, then instantly jumped up, "Ah——"

Su Yuejian looked at her in confusion, touched her face, and pinched her flesh. She couldn't understand what Cui Yingyu was doing. She had just checked and taken her pulse.

There is no disguise and no illness. The person in front of me is definitely Cui Yingyu.

But.....

The Cui family is from a prestigious family with strict family rules and regulations, and the women are brought up to be gentle and well-behaved. Qingshan told her that Cui Yingyu has a gentle and weak temperament, completely different from the bold and open person in front of her.

"Heroine?!"

Cui Yingyu stared at the person in front of the bed with eyes wide open, tears welling up in her eyes. "I knew that the heroine Bai Yueguang must have a heart of a saint!!"

"What master?" Su Yuejian frowned, "What did you say?"

Cui Yingyu choked up, feeling the coldness coming from the person next to Su Yuejian. She quickly waved her hands and bowed, "Princess! Princess! Thank you for saving me!"

Su Yuejian looked at her with an even weirder look.

Cui Yingyu didn't care. Her eyes had already been attracted by the fragrance outside. She swallowed and said, "Princess..."

Su Yuejian walked to the outer room and sat down, "Miss Cui, please."

The aroma of food kept filling her nose. This was the first proper meal she had eaten since entering the book. Cui Yingyu said thank you and started to eat voraciously, without any sign of a noble lady.

After a quick meal, he burped happily, "Burp~"

Noticing the complicated look from the black-clothed woman standing beside her, Cui Yingyu smiled guiltily. She turned to face Su Yuejian, who was handing her the tea. She took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Princess."

After taking a sip of tea and calming down, I couldn't help but sigh that Su Yuejian is such a good person. There is a reason why she can be the heroine. I remember that the heroine seemed to be a disciple of the Medical Saint. It is true that the compassion of the Medical Saint is unmatched!

"Miss Cui, now that you've eaten your fill, do you have the energy to fulfill your promise?"

Promise? Cui Yingyu blinked and looked around. It seemed that they were in a courtyard. It was quiet all around. Apart from the flowers, plants and trees, there was not even a single person in sight. There was no sound of hawking in the street. It seemed that they were far away from the bustling city.

“Ah, this, is…”

"Don't worry, Miss Cui. Xiao Chengchang is no longer a member of the royal family, and Cui's Yingyu has died suddenly." Su Yuejian refilled her tea. "From now on, you will be just Miss Cui, without a father or a mother, with no one to rely on. You are all alone."

Cui Yingyu smiled and didn't care much. She was also an orphan in modern times and was used to being alone since she was a child. In all these years, she didn't even have a close friend.

"My princess is a man of her word, and I shall keep my promise." Cui Yingyu thought for a moment. "As for the Regent's poisoning, I only overheard it from the prince by chance, so I don't know everything."

In order to prevent the heroine and the hero from communicating with each other, she had already decided to put the blame on Xiao Chengchang. She also tried to recall that she had only read less than one-tenth of the book, and coupled with her habit of reading ten lines at a glance, the information she remembered was indeed limited.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Okay." Cui Yingyu nodded. "Over the years, the Prince Regent has been attacked and poisoned many times at the border. In addition to injuries sustained on the battlefield, there were also injuries caused by people in the palace. In particular, there was a poison in his body that was given to him by the Queen Mother."

After whispering, Cui Yingyu frowned when she saw Su Yuejian's expression didn't change. No reaction? Queen Mother? Your mother-in-law!

"That's all?" Su Yuejian took a sip of tea. "Does Xiao Chengchang know what the poison is?"

Cui Yingyu straightened up and shook her head. Seeing her so calm immediately aroused her competitive spirit.

"But he knows who gave the Queen Mother the poison."

As soon as these words came out, the person in front of her really reacted. Cui Yingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "If the princess wants to know, then this is another condition."

I'm sorry, little Madonna. If you want to survive in the book, you must have some life-saving chips. This is called not trusting people easily.

Cui Yingyu laughed, and Su Yuejian followed suit. "Conditions?"

Seeing that she was smiling, Cui Yingyu always felt that something was wrong. She frowned and felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She curled up her body, her face wrinkled in pain.

"The condition is to save your life, how about it?"

Looking at the steaming food and tea on the table, and then at her smiling face with her head tilted to one side, she fell to the ground with a pale face, "You... there's poison in the food?!"

"Don't you want to negotiate?"

The pain in her stomach intensified, and Cui Yingyu cursed in her heart, "Damn it! He has a kind and harmless face, but coaxed her into taking poison in a gentle voice!"

This is not the Virgin Mary at all! Where is the white moonlight, it is clearly black sesame dumplings!

Su Yuejian rested his elbows on the table, propped up his chin and looked at her with raised eyebrows. He didn't say a word, but his expression was full of threats. Cui Yingyu gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell you!"

"No need." Su Yuejian stood up and walked out.

Cui Yingyu,?

She quickly stepped forward to stop her, but Xuan Shuang stopped her one step away. "Why not? Don't you want him to live? Do you think Xiao Chengchang is the only bad guy? The Queen Mother's poison is..."

"emperor."

Cui Yingyu froze when the two words came lightly. Su Yuejian turned around and said, "The poison was given by the emperor. Is that what you want to say?"

"I've suspected this for a long time, and hearing you say that just now makes me even more certain. I don't like threats, and I originally wanted you to stay away from Kyoto and spend the rest of your life in peace. It seems you don't like this kind of destination. In that case, Miss Cui, you can take care of yourself."

"Do you know why the emperor harmed him! Why the empress dowager hates him!" Cui Yingyu said unwillingly.

She already knew what Cui Yingyu wanted to say. They were just trying to save the country's destiny for the sake of some damn heavenly evil.

Su Yuejian raised her foot to leave, thinking that this trip was in vain. Just as she was about to step out of the yard, Cui Yingyu's voice came from behind her again.

"The Regent is the Purple Star Emperor from Heaven!"
