Su Ling's Time Travel

Bai Yanxuan hugged Hong Mei tightly, as if trying to meld her into his own body. An unprecedented sense of determination and conviction welled up in his heart: "Hong Mei, thank you. With you by my side, I know I can overcome anything."

As night deepened, the Prince's mansion remained brightly lit. Bai Yanxuan and Hong Mei's figures appeared exceptionally resolute and determined in the lamplight. They knew the road ahead was long, but they also believed that as long as they worked hand in hand, they would surely reach the end.

The resentment and anger towards Su Ling gradually transformed into a deeper power within this unwavering resolve and conviction. Bai Yanxuan knew he wouldn't let Su Ling off so easily; he would find her weakness and show her his power.

This night was filled with anger and resentment for Bai Yanxuan. But it was also a night that made him more determined and persistent. He knew what he wanted and how to get it. And Hong Mei's companionship and support filled him with strength and confidence.

In the days that followed, Bai Yanxuan began to monitor Su Ling's movements even more closely. He dispatched trusted confidants to secretly investigate her background, preferences, habits, and any other information that might be related to her. He believed that as long as he had enough information, he would definitely be able to find her weakness.

Hongmei remained by his side, offering silent support. She provided him with advice and all possible assistance.

Su Ling walked lightly along the bluestone path of the Prince's mansion, each step seemingly calculated. A cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and a barely perceptible smile played on her lips. Returning to this place filled with power struggles and intrigue, she had already meticulously planned a grand scheme.

The garden of the Prince's mansion was filled with the fragrance of flowers, but it couldn't conceal the undercurrents swirling within. Su Ling knew that Bai Yanxuan was currently handling affairs in his study, and her plan was to make this arrogant prince see the illusion of her being "with" another man, thereby provoking him.

She returned to her palace, changed into a simple and elegant outfit, and specially chose a light gauze shawl, which she gently draped over her shoulders, making her appear both gentle and charming, yet also exuding a hazy allure. Then, she summoned her personal maid, Xiao Cui, and whispered a few instructions to her.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly nodded and turned to leave. She knew that she only needed to follow her master's instructions and didn't need to ask any further questions.

Su Ling sat before the bronze mirror, carefully examining her makeup. Her fingers gently traced her cheeks, as if caressing a perfect work of art. She was filled with confidence; she knew her beauty and intelligence were enough to drive any man mad.

Before long, Xiao Cui led in a tall, handsome man. This man was named Li Mufeng, an actor whom Su Ling had specially found from the streets. He was not only outstanding in appearance but also had superb acting skills.

"Li Mufeng, you know what to do, right?" Su Ling looked at Li Mufeng, her eyes gleaming.

Li Mufeng nodded; of course he knew. Su Ling had already told him that all he needed to do was "accidentally" bump into her in the Prince's garden and act somewhat intimately, which would be enough to enrage the arrogant Prince.

"Very good." Su Ling nodded in satisfaction. "As long as you do well, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

After speaking, she got up and walked towards the garden. Li Mufeng followed closely behind, keeping a proper distance. They came to a secluded corner of the garden, where there was a dense bamboo grove, which could perfectly conceal their figures.

Su Ling stopped and turned to look at Li Mufeng. Her eyes were filled with allure, as if trying to draw him into an endless vortex. Li Mufeng cooperated and stepped forward, and the two began to talk in hushed tones, their behavior intimate.

However, unbeknownst to them, Situ Lianxin was watching everything from the shadows. Situ Lianxin was a concubine in the Prince's mansion and had always been at odds with Su Ling. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She knew this was a golden opportunity to bring Su Ling down.

So, she quietly left the shadows and went straight to Bai Yanxuan's study. She pushed open the study door and went inside. Bai Yanxuan was writing furiously at his desk. Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw Situ Lianxin. His brows furrowed slightly.

"Lianxin, what brings you here?" His voice carried a hint of displeasure.

Situ Lianxin walked up to him and whispered, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you. It's about Su Ling."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanxuan's eyes narrowed. He put down his pen and looked at Situ Lianxin: "What is it? Speak quickly."

Situ Lianxin smiled slightly and recounted everything she had seen in the garden. Her words were full of provocation and innuendo, causing Bai Yanxuan's expression to darken further.

"Are you telling the truth?" He stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with anger.

Situ Lianxin nodded: "It's absolutely true. Your Highness, if you don't believe me, you can go to the garden and see. They should still be there right now."
