Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

For the next two days, Su Qianrou left early and returned late, busy arranging various matters.

That day, she came out of the Saint Ming Academy and was walking halfway when suddenly a group of people surrounded her carriage, making it impossible for her to pass.

"Yingyue, what's going on?" Chunzhu asked.

"We're surrounded."

“Princess Ping Le, our Pavilion Master invites you to come with us,” said the leader.

Su Qianrou calmly stepped out of the carriage and asked, "Who are you?"

“Princess Ping Le will know once she comes with us.”

"Why should I go with you?"

“Before, it was because you had bodyguards and shadow guards around you. Now…” she said, pointing to Yingyue, “she’s all alone. Does Princess Pingle think she can beat all of us?”

Su Qianrou immediately guessed their identities, "You are from the Hundred Stars Pavilion."

The leader was clearly taken aback for a moment, but did not admit it. "She is no match for us on her own. Princess Ping Le should just come with us."

"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight," Yingyue said, drawing her sword and pointing it at him.

"Overestimating yourself," the leader gestured, and the others rushed towards her.

“Master, I’ll hold them off while you escape,” Yingyue said, and immediately stepped forward to meet the enemy.

"Miss, there are so many of them, can Yingyue defeat them?"

"I don't know," Su Qianrou said, unsure of her own abilities. With Seventeen and the guards absent, it was difficult for Yingyue to say for sure.

Before long, Yingyue had sustained several injuries. In a brief moment, she called out, "Master, let's go!"

"Miss, get in the carriage quickly," Chunzhu pushed Su Qianrou into the carriage.

"Don't let them escape!" the leader shouted.

The assassin immediately went to stop him.

Shadowmoon did everything in her power to restrain them.

Just as Chunzhu was about to drive away, an assassin pulled her off the carriage and threw her to the ground. Seeing that the assassin was about to grab Su Qianrou, she ignored the pain and hurriedly grabbed the man's leg, shouting, "Miss, let's go!"

The assassin forcefully pushed her away, then picked up his sword and stabbed her.

"No!" Su Qianrou cried out in panic, but it was too late. The sword was deeply embedded in Chunzhu's chest, and then the assassin mercilessly pulled the sword out.

Su Qianrou immediately jumped off the carriage, ran to her side, covered the wound, and tried to stop the bleeding, but the bleeding continued.

Chunzhu grasped her hand and said weakly, "Miss, don't worry about me, let's go quickly."

"Don't speak, I will definitely save you," he said, then looked at Yingyue and saw that she was covered in wounds but still persevering. He was heartbroken and shouted, "Enough, stop hitting me, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, both sides stopped fighting.

The leader gloated, "I told you long ago that she couldn't win on her own, but Princess Ping Le wouldn't believe it. Now look what happened, some are dead and some are injured."

Su Qianrou glared at him but said nothing. Then she looked at Yingyue and said, "Yingyue, take Chunzhu back to heal her injuries."

"master".

"Listen to me."

"Yes," Yingyue walked over.

Su Qianrou stood up and said, "I'll go with you, you let them go."

“Princess Ping Le seems to have misunderstood the situation. You are not in a position to negotiate with us now.”

Su Qianrou snatched the sword from Yingyue's hand and held it to her own neck.

"Master," Yingyue said nervously.

Su Qianrou ignored her and threatened, "Your sect leader has gone to great lengths to have you invite me time and time again, which shows how much he values ​​me. If anything happens to me, I'm sure you won't be able to explain yourselves."

When they arrived, Yun Yu specifically instructed them not to harm Su Qianrou. Therefore, the leader had no choice but to compromise and say, "I promise you, I will release them."

Su Qianrou didn't believe him, so she didn't put down her sword. Instead, she turned to Yingyue and said, "Take Chunzhu to the carriage and leave immediately."

"No, I can't abandon you."

"Chunzhu needs to be treated now, or it will be too late. Let's go quickly."

"master".

"Let's go," Su Qianrou said resolutely.

Yingyue had no choice but to put Chunzhu in the carriage and then ride away.

Only after they had gone far away did Su Qianrou put down her sword.

“Princess Ping Le is truly unique; she dismissed the maid and stayed behind herself.”

"You ruthless killers would never understand."

Then, Su Qianrou was taken to a secret room.

"Master, the person has been brought."

Yun Yu waved his hand, signaling him to leave, then looked at Su Qianrou and said with a playful tone, "Regent's Consort, oh no, she should be called Princess Ping Le now. Princess Ping Le, how have you been?"

"Thanks to the Pavilion Master, I didn't die that day and am still alive and well."

"What happened that day is not my fault. It was the princess who stood in front of him. It has nothing to do with me." He then added, "It's just a pity that the princess's infatuation ended in divorce. I wonder if the princess regrets what she did that day."

Su Qianrou did not answer his question, but asked, "Since the Pavilion Master knows that we have divorced, why did you still have someone bring me here?"

"What if I, the Pavilion Master, said I wanted to discuss a collaboration with the Princess?"

"What good cooperation could we possibly have?"

"He has treated you so badly, don't you even want to get revenge?"

"He is the high and mighty regent, while I am just a weak woman. How can I take revenge?"

"This master can help you."

"What are the conditions?"

"No conditions."

"The Pavilion Master doesn't seem like the type to do unprofitable business. Why don't you speak frankly about your purpose?"

Yun Yu's lips curled up slightly as she said, "The princess is indeed clever."

Su Qianrou remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Immediately afterwards, Yunyu said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that we have the same enemy, why not cooperate?"

"How could I not know I had an enemy?"

“You were willing to risk your life for him, but what did he do? He brought back a country girl. Not only that, he even abandoned you, his wife, for that girl. How can such a heartless and ungrateful person deserve to live in this world? What do you say, Princess?”

Su Qianrou chuckled lightly, "The Pavilion Master has said so much just to use me to help you kill him, because you know that the Hundred Star Pavilion can't kill him. The Pavilion Master's plan is really shrewd."

"It's just a matter of each getting what they need."

"But I don't need it."

"Are you willing to accept this?"

"Master, there's no need to say more. I would never kill someone over something like this. I'm not that heartless."

"Princess, there's no need to rush to refuse. You may consider it for a couple of days... Someone, take the princess to rest."

Su Qianrou knew she probably wouldn't be able to leave today, so she didn't say anything and went out with the others.

Luo Ying asked, "Master, Princess Ping Le is not happy, what should we do?"

Yun Yu said dismissively, "She will agree. Tell her to stay in her room for the next two days and not to come out."

"Yes".

Yunyu picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly, seemingly confident.
