The two of them had already planned it out. As long as they entered the Imperial Garden together, they would attract a lot of attention. Then, Wang Ruizhe would deliberately knock her over, and she could fall to the ground and pretend to be unconscious to avoid getting hurt.

If Su Muya can weather this storm, she will be able to find a way to escape.

Unfortunately, her plan was still discovered.

Wang Ruizhe helped Su Muya up and instructed the maid beside him, "You go back first. I will escort the princess safely to the mansion."

Hearing him say that, Su Muya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that her plan would definitely be exposed.

However, she had no other choice but to do this.

Wang Ruizhe is the grandson of Prime Minister Wang, and also a spoiled brat. If he were really targeted, it would definitely be very troublesome.

After helping Su Muya to her room, Wang Ruizhe turned and left.

Su Muya had just entered the house and hadn't even had a chance to rest when the door was pushed open.

"who?"

Su Muya was taken aback.

She had just woken up and didn't know who this was!

She looked at the newcomer warily, then realized that it was her personal servant.

"Miss, have you forgotten about me so quickly?"

The servant looked at Su Muya with a slightly resentful tone.

Hearing the servant's tone, Su Muya immediately understood: "How could I forget you? I just woke up and haven't even washed up yet. Why didn't you knock before coming in? How rude of you!"

Hearing Su Muya's reproach, the servant said aggrievedly, "This servant heard Miss's breathing and guessed you might not have woken up yet, so..."

"I know, hurry up and get out of here, I'm changing my clothes."

Su Muya urged the servant to leave, but inwardly cursed him for his lack of manners.

However, she was still quite happy, because this was her personal servant, and her servant was quite loyal to her.

After the servant left, Su Muya began to change her clothes.

However, as soon as she changed her clothes, she discovered a serious problem, which was...

I don't have any clean clothes to change into!

This is how to do?

Su Muya thought for a moment, then shouted towards the door, "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui!"

Xiao Cui was cleaning the yard when she heard Su Muya calling her, and immediately ran in.

"Xiao Cui, I need to change my clothes. Quickly go and prepare a clean set of clothes for me."

"Oh? Miss, you want to change your clothes? This servant... this servant will go and get them for you right away."

Xiao Cui was in a dilemma. Although she really wanted to find clothes for Su Muya, she also knew that her mistress would definitely not want other maids to see them.

Su Muya nodded: "Okay, go ahead, and be quick."

"Oh, alright, I'll go right away!"

Xiao Cui agreed and hurriedly walked out.

She had just left when she heard Su Muya's voice: "Xiao Cui! Wait!"

Xiao Cui was startled and stopped, turning back to look at Su Muya: "Is there anything else, Miss?"

“This is for you.”

Su Muya took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui looked at the jade pendant, then asked Su Muya with a puzzled expression, "Miss, what is this?"

Su Muya frowned: "This is a talisman your grandmother left me; I can't let anyone else see it."

"what?"

Xiao Cui was somewhat surprised; she didn't know that Su Muya actually had a talisman.

Amulets are things that only royalty and nobility can wear!

As for myself, I am just a lowly maid. How could my mistress have a protective amulet?

However, since it was given to Miss by the old lady, Miss should be safe, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui took the amulet and said to Su Muya, "Then, Miss, please take good care of yourself. I'll be going now."

With that, Xiao Cui hurriedly left with the amulet.

Su Muya watched Xiao Cui's departing figure, a sly smile appearing on her face.

"Lin Wanrong, this time you've fallen into my trap!"

Su Muya snorted inwardly, then lay down on the bed to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Su Muya got up early, washed up, and went to the Imperial Garden.

There were relatively few people in the Imperial Garden; apart from patrolling soldiers and some noble ladies admiring the flowers, there were hardly any others.

When Su Muya arrived at the Imperial Garden, she found that there were many noble ladies and young women gathered in small groups chatting about something.

Su Muya looked at them, somewhat puzzled.

What are you doing here?

Lin Wanrong was quite surprised to see Su Muya appear, and couldn't help but walk over to Su Muya's side.

Why can't I be here?

Su Muya looked at Lin Wanrong and asked.

"you."

Lin Wanrong was speechless after Su Muya's words, and could only say, "Let's go!"

With that, Lin Wanrong turned and walked into the Imperial Garden.

Su Muya followed Lin Wanrong, and the two had just reached a pavilion when they heard a noisy discussion.

"Have you heard? News came from the palace last night that someone attempted to assassinate the prince!"

"Huh? No way? How could something like this happen?"

"Yes, the Prince is the Emperor's most beloved son!"

"Is that even a question? The Prince must have been assassinated. Otherwise, why would the Emperor send so many people to protect him?"

"You're right."

"No, we absolutely cannot let others continue to spread these rumors. I must go to the palace to see the Emperor!"

After saying that, the lady tried to run out.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Another lady quickly pulled her back: "You can't go!"

"Why can't we go? Are we just going to stand by and watch that murderer go unpunished?"

"This is the palace. Going in will not only bring you no benefit, but will also get you into trouble!"

"Are we just going to let that assassin get away with it?"

The noblewoman sighed and patted the prince on the shoulder: "You must believe that the Emperor will give the prince an explanation."

After saying that, the noblewoman added, "Besides, the prince is the emperor's most beloved son; he would never stand idly by and watch him be plotted against."

The lady thought about it and agreed that what she said made sense, so she nodded: "Alright, then I'll wait a little longer!"

Su Muya couldn't help but smile as she overheard the ladies' conversation.

As Su Muya expected, that very night, an imperial physician came to examine her pulse and then told her some unfortunate news.

It turns out that the person who assassinated the emperor was the little eunuch that Su Muya had met by chance in the capital.

Because of the emperor's favor, the young eunuch wielded considerable power within the palace. Moreover, it was said that he was Lin Wanrong's man, and that Lin Wanrong treated him very well.
