"Young Master!" Caixia pushed open the door and saw Qu Zi'an lying on the soft couch, crying. She called out with heartache, "Young Master, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

"No." Qu Zian quickly wiped away her tears. "I'm fine, Caixia, you go ahead and do your work."

“Young Master, please feel free to ask for anything, and Caixia will definitely take care of it,” Caixia said.

Seeing her say this, Qu Zian finally understood and spoke his mind.

And the other side.

"Are you sure?" Su Muya asked, frowning.

"this."

The imperial physician looked at Su Muya, stammering and unsure how to begin.

Seeing this, Su Muya waved her hand impatiently: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or I'm leaving."

"Miss, this...this is true."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he lowered his head.

Su Muya stared at the imperial physician, her eyes wide with shock.

"You...you mean, that little eunuch really killed the emperor?"

"Yes!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Su Muya shook her head, unable to believe it.

That little eunuch was just a little eunuch, how could he have such audacity?

"Miss, this is absolutely true!"

The imperial physician said with an air of certainty, "Moreover, I've heard that this was at the Prince's behest."

"Your Highness?!"

Su Muya was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it was the prince who ordered it."

The imperial physician nodded.

"You mean, His Highness already knows about the assassin?"

Su Muya looked at the imperial physician, her heart filled with panic.

"I don't know. I don't know if Your Highness is aware of this matter."

"This servant doesn't know."

The imperial physician shook his head: "I only heard that His Majesty sent many people to search for the assassin last night, but they haven't found him yet."

Upon hearing this, Su Muya became even more flustered, her face turned pale, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Princess? Princess?"

The imperial physician looked at the distraught Su Muya and called her name a few times.

Su Muya snapped out of her daze, looked up, forced a smile at the imperial physician, and said, "Yes, thank you."

"No need to thank me, it's my duty."

The imperial physician smiled and then walked away.

Su Muya stood there, her mind in turmoil.

What should she do?

Now she has no way to find Xia Yu, and Xia Yu already knows that she killed his father. How is she supposed to face Xia Yu?

Su Muya stood there in deep thought for a long time before finally deciding to go home and check on things.

"Miss!"

Before Su Muya could take a step, Lin Wanrong caught up with her and said, "The Prince already knows about this; he sent me to fetch you."

Su Muya's heart skipped a beat, then she looked at Lin Wanrong and said through gritted teeth, "You mean... your prince knows?"

"Yes, last night when we went to deliver dinner to the Prince, we saw that little eunuch sneaking around in the kitchen, secretly preparing ingredients. I followed him all the way and discovered that he was preparing poison, intending to assassinate the Emperor."

Lin Wanrong's tone was filled with hatred, as if she wanted to tear Su Muya to pieces.

What are you doing in the kitchen?

Su Muya was taken aback, then said, "We..."

An image flashed through Su Muya's mind: a young eunuch holding a knife, preparing to kill her father.

"Yes, we are going to deliver meals to the Prince."

Su Muya tried her best to remain calm and looked at Lin Wanrong as she spoke.

"Oh, I see. In that case, let's go!"

"oh!"

Su Muya glanced at Lin Wanrong, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After the two left, the figure that had been hiding behind the artificial hill slowly emerged. Good heavens, so that's what they were planning.

The man watched Lin Wanrong's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips, and muttered, "Hmph, I'll see who you can fool."

"Who are you? Why did you want to assassinate the emperor? What did he do to you that makes you despise and hate him so much?"

Lin Wanrong sat in the carriage and coldly questioned Su Muya.

"Ha, you don't need to know!"

Su Muya glanced coldly at Lin Wanrong and said indifferently.

What does this have to do with her? She doesn't want to waste her breath on unnecessary people.

"Fine, don't tell me then!"

Lin Wanrong looked at Su Muya, snorted coldly, then closed her eyes and leaned back in the carriage to rest.

She needed to conserve her energy so that she wouldn't speak carelessly once they arrived at the manor.

Looking at Lin Wanrong's appearance, Su Muya couldn't help but sneer. She thought to herself, "This Lin Wanrong is quite clever. She actually knows to rest in the carriage. Aren't you afraid that she might do something?"

Su Muya also closed her eyes and began to regulate her breathing.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Su Muya jumped off and quickly ran towards the Prime Minister's residence.

She needs to talk to Xia Yu about this.

Su Muya ran quickly into the Prime Minister's residence and arrived at Xia Yu's courtyard.

In the courtyard, a group of maids and servants were cleaning, while Xia Yu lay on a chair in the courtyard, resting with his eyes closed.

Su Muya looked at Xia Yu and took a deep breath.

Then I walked up to him.

"Your Highness!"

Su Muya called out and then stood in front of Xia Yu.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Yu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Su Muya, and was slightly taken aback: "Why are you back?"

"I'm here to discuss this assassination attempt with you."

Su Muya looked around, then lowered her voice and spoke to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow, then sat up and looked at Su Muya: "Weren't you going to deliver dinner to me? Why are you back?"

"I just went out and ran into someone. I asked him a few questions, and he told me that the assassin is one of your men."

As Su Muya spoke, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes: "How can we save His Majesty? I'm worried that the Emperor might be in danger."

"Rest assured, with me here, he wouldn't dare do anything to His Majesty."

Xia Yu comforted Su Muya, looking at her and speaking softly.

Su Muya looked at Xia Yu, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Although she didn't really like Xia Yu, she couldn't help but soften when she looked at him.

Su Muya lowered her head and remained silent, standing quietly in front of Xia Yu.

After a while, Xia Yu suddenly spoke up: "You must remember, you are Prime Minister Su's only daughter. Prime Minister Su's influence in the court is not to be underestimated. You must not act impulsively!"

"I know!"

Su Muya lowered her head and responded softly.
