The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

After breakfast the next morning, Su Qingning took Su Muxin and Su Muzhe, brother and sister, away from the Su family and headed to the Imperial Academy.

At the gate, Su Qingcang and everyone from the Su family came to see them off. Su Qingyu stood in the crowd, looking at the two figures who got on the carriage with her sister, her eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Humph, I am your sister's brother, you are not allowed to get so close to me!

Su Qingyu wanted to rush over and throw Su Muxin and Su Muzhe, the brother and sister, out of the carriage, and accompany her sister to the Imperial Academy.

But he couldn't do that. Last night he promised his sister that he would take good care of and protect their mother. He couldn't go back on his word. He had to listen to his sister.

In the end, Su Qingyu could only watch the carriage leave reluctantly, and only when the carriage went away and turned a corner and disappeared did he withdraw his gaze.

Su Qingyu was just about to help her mother return to Jinyuan, but when she turned around, she saw Su Huaiyang and Liu Ruyan staring at the direction the carriage was leaving, their eyes full of ill intentions and resentment.

What are these two people planning?

Su Qingyu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but recall what her sister had said last night when she told her to be careful of the second house. Now it seemed that her sister's worries were not unfounded.

However, Su Huaiyang and Liu Ruyan seemed to have attacked my sister first. Were they planning to get rid of her along the way? Ha! They really overestimated their own abilities!

A hint of contempt appeared on Su Qingyu's lips. He supported Yun Ruopiao and deliberately moved closer to Su Huaiyang and Liu Ruyan. Then he gently waved his sleeves, and some colorless and odorless powder fell on the two of them.

Humph! Dare to harm my sister? I'll let you experience the taste of my special seven-day itching powder.

During these five years, Su Qingyu not only practiced with Wuji, but also learned how to make poisons with his sister. Originally, his master and sister wanted to teach him medicine and medical skills, but he was not interested in either of them, and only had a special liking for poison techniques. In the end, it was proved that he was indeed very talented in poison techniques and was a rare genius.

……

On the other side, the carriage slowly drove out of the imperial capital. Su Qingning sat quietly in the carriage, with no emotion on her face, as if she had no interest in attending the Imperial Academy.

On the contrary, Su Muxin and Su Muzhe, the brother and sister who were sitting in a carriage with her, were full of excitement. They opened the windows and looked outside from time to time, as if they were very interested in everything on the road.

"Third sister, third sister, look, that red flower is blooming so gorgeously and beautifully."

Su Muxin pointed at a beautiful red flower on the edge of the vast mountains, her face full of love.

Hearing this, Su Qingning turned her head and looked over. When she saw the flower clearly, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, as if she didn't expect to see this kind of flower in this place.

Su Muze noticed the look in Su Qingning's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Third sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that flower?"

Su Qingning nodded lightly, "Yes, it's poisonous."

"Ah?!" Su Muxin looked at Su Qingning in astonishment, her eyes questioning, "Is it... poisonous?"

"Yes." Su Qingning nodded. She was in a good mood at the moment, so she explained to the brother and sister attentively, "This flower is called the Beauty's Face. It usually lures prey with its beautiful appearance. When the prey approaches, it emits a poisonous fragrance that incapacitates the prey, and then it devours the prey bite by bite."

"Eat...eat it?!" Su Muxin and Su Muzhe were both stunned, their surprised expressions as if copied and pasted. They asked in unison: "How do you eat it? Does it have a mouth?"

"What do you think?" Su Qingning glanced at Su Muxin and Su Muzhe, and said in a light tone: "Not only does it have a mouth, but it also has eyes and a nose. Otherwise, how can it be called a beauty face!"

"Ah?" Su Muxin imagined what the flower would look like with eyes and a mouth, and shuddered in fear. "Huh~ How horrible! It looks so beautiful, how can it be a poisonous flower?"

"The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is." Su Qingning concluded.

Hearing this, Su Muxin and Su Muzhe looked at each other and expressed their deep agreement with Su Qingning's words. Su Muzhe even joked, "Just like Third Sister?"

Su Muxin widened her eyes, as if she didn't expect her brother to be so bold as to make fun of Su Qingning. Isn't he afraid that his third sister will be angry? Is he really going to poison you?

Fortunately, Su Qingning was not angry, and was even in the mood to respond to Su Muzhe's joke.

"Well, the same as me, so you have to be careful." Su Qingning said.

Seeing this, Su Muxin breathed a sigh of relief, while Su Muzhe laughed happily, "Haha... Then I have to be more careful. After all, your poison skills are hard to guard against, Third Sister!"

Su Qingning raised her eyebrows, "I'll take it as a compliment."

"Hahaha……"

There was laughter and joy in the carriage, and the atmosphere was very good; outside the carriage, a guard from the Su family drove the carriage slowly. He did not take the young masters and young ladies into the vast mountains, but took the relatively safer official road.

However, when the carriage reached the small path between the vast mountains and a bamboo forest, hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from both sides.

When she heard the first sound of arrows being shot, Su Qingning realized that they were ambushed. She immediately reached out and held Su Muxin and Su Muzhe down, and she also bent down.

Because of the shelter of the carriage, Su Qingning and the other two were relatively safe for the time being, but the guard outside and the horse pulling the carriage were in a miserable state.

The horse was shot dead by an arrow. The guard resisted for a while, but was eventually killed by the arrow.

After the guards died, the sound of archery disappeared and the surroundings became quiet in an instant. But Su Qingning knew that it was not over yet. A feeling of danger came over her heart. Su Qingning did not have time to think about it. She picked up Su Muxin and Su Muzhe, broke through the roof of the carriage and rushed out.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Two sounds rang out one after another. The first was the sound of Su Qingning and the other two breaking through the roof of the carriage, and the second was the sound of magic skills hitting the carriage.

Looking at the carriage that was torn into pieces, Su Muxin and Su Muzhe felt a little scared.

Phew~ That was a close call, I almost died!

As soon as the three landed, the killers hiding in the jungles on both sides also rushed out. They surrounded Su Qingning and the other two, leaving them no chance to escape.

"Third sister, what...what should we do?"

This was the first time Su Muxin encountered such a situation, and she was a little scared, with a look of timidity and fear on her face.

Of course, Su Muzhe wasn't in much better shape either. Although he didn't say anything, his slightly pale face betrayed him.

Su Qingning glanced at the brother and sister who were holding her arms tightly. She knew they were scared, but in this situation, she had no time to comfort them.
