She became a god

Chapter 303 The Eastern Palace (2)

Dayu, the capital, the western market.

Merchants from all walks of life trade here, and all sorts of rare and exotic treasures are casually placed on roadside stalls.

Only the most precious treasures are worthy of being decorated and auctioned off; this is the West Market of Dayu, one of the most notorious dens of iniquity in the human world.

In the heart of the bustling West Market stands the largest and most magnificent inn in the Kingdom of Yu—Mingyue Tower.

The Bright Moon Pavilion has twelve of the most luxurious and comfortable suites, which are also known as the Twelve Months, in the following order: End Month, Apricot Month, Morning Month, Remaining Month, Middle Month, Scorching Month, Paulownia Month, Strong Month, Dark Month, Good Month, Cold Month, and Plum Month.

Recently, a distinguished guest checked into the "Chenyue" suite at the repeated invitation of the manager of Mingyuelou.

Countless powerful figures in the Great Yu Dynasty were speculating about which great figure had such a grand display.

Those who were well-informed had already instructed their younger relatives to behave themselves and not to offend that distinguished guest.

If the news is true, how many people in the entire Great Yu can compare to that person?

She was one of only two disciples of His Majesty the Lord of the Underworld, Princess Xu Yao of the Demon Realm, and the number one diviner in the world.

Her arrival was enough to bring about earth-shattering changes to the Great Yu Dynasty.

However, most of the people of Yu Kingdom did not even have the right to know about Princess Xu Yao. They lived their lives in a daze, completely unaware that they were being used.

Su He's mother, Su Hang, was a wealthy merchant in the West Market, whose main business was selling medicine.

Su He, a rich young man, lived a carefree life until a few days ago when his family's pharmacy was shut down and his mother, Su Hang, was imprisoned.

Su He's family made many inquiries before they learned the whole story.

It turned out that one of the favorite servants of the Second Prince Ji Cunman fell ill and used medicine from the Su family, but instead of being cured, he died.

The second prince was enraged by the death of his favorite concubine and took his anger out on the Su family.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are the backbone of the Su family, and the medicinal herb business is the main industry of the Su family.

The Su family cannot do without Suzhou and Hangzhou and the pharmacy, but compared to the Second Prince, the Su family has no chance to fight back.

The Su family was in a state of panic and had nowhere to turn when they received a letter.

The letter stated that as long as the Su family appealed to the emperor, Su Hang would be released without charge.

The Su family was overjoyed, but Su He was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry.

Su He was abducted as a child and only found her way home when she was older.

After being abducted, Su He was sold several times before finally entering the palace. There, she gained the favor of a nobleman and was able to leave the palace and return home as soon as possible.

Decades of life in the palace made Su He aware of the wickedness of human nature and gave him a more acute political sense than the average young man.

This is...so strange.

Su He had a feeling that someone had deliberately set a trap, most likely for her master.

No matter how Su He tried to persuade them, her family was determined to file a lawsuit with the emperor, so Su He had no choice but to contact her master.

The master only replied with one sentence: "You've already been exposed."

Su He was stunned.

But then he heard his master laugh and say, "You went through all this trouble just to see me?"

A tall, slender figure suddenly appeared. She clasped her hands and said, "Your Highness is elusive, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic. I apologize for any offense I may have caused."

Su He glanced at her master with concern, but at her master's signal, she silently left and closed the door.

"When did you find out that Su He was one of my people?"

"just."

"Ha. The Crown Prince's secret agents are really fast, Cai Sheren."

Cai Sheren refers to Cai Yinglin, who was in charge of the palace guards and attendants of the Eastern Palace.

Cai Yinglin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for your praise, Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince, Ji Cunzhen, was the youngest son of Emperor Yu. His biological father was Yao Jun, and he came from the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Ji Cunzhen himself was skilled in poetry and calligraphy, and proficient in all six arts of a gentleman, and was greatly loved by the literati.

She glanced at the submissive Cai Yinglin, "Who gave you the audacity to investigate me? Chen Lai or Su Mingzhu?"

Cai Yinglin said, "Master Chen."

Ji Cunzhen smiled contemptuously, "Surrender or a warning?"

Cai Yinglin said in a deep voice, "Cooperation."

"Whom do you want to bring down? My foolish second sister, or my hypocritical third sister? Or perhaps you want to wipe us three sisters out in one fell swoop?"

"It is for the sake of His Highness the Second Prince."

"Lying." Ji Cunzhen's face turned cold. "Your cooperation is so insincere. You're clearly afraid that Third Sister will gain the support of Princess Xu Yao, so you've come to me to join forces, yet you don't dare to show the slightest hostility towards Third Sister. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Cai Yinglin smiled slightly, "So Your Highness also knew about Princess Xu Yao's visit."

"Such a momentous matter is hard for me to be unaware of. But what exactly are you all planning to do?"

Ji Cunzhen continued, "You can't possibly not want to deal with Third Sister, so why do you insist on saying it's Second Sister? What exactly are you plotting? And why did you have to come to me, Your Majesty?"

Faced with Ji Cunzhen's barrage of questions, Cai Yinglin showed no sign of panic. "The Third Prince has a deep foundation. Even if the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince join forces, they may not succeed. If we fail in one strike, we will inevitably alert the enemy. Therefore, it is better to deal with a clown than to deal with a behemoth."

Ji Cunzhen smiled and said, "That sounds reasonable, but the Eastern Palace has enough power to deal with Second Sister. Why drag me into it? Besides, taking down Second Sister will only embolden Third Sister and deprive me of a shield. What makes you think I would abandon my shield and hand the knife to the enemy?"

Cai Yinglin looked up and stared directly into Ji Cunzhen's eyes. "The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. Your Highness is unwilling to take action against the Second Prince, but the Second Prince has already sided with the Third Prince and intends to accuse the Duke of Wei's mansion of treason. Does Your Highness intend to stand by and watch your maternal grandfather's family fall into ruin?"

"Absurd!" Ji Cunzhen sneered. "My maternal grandfather was loyal and my mother was wise and powerful. How could the Duke of Wei's mansion be accused of treason? You scoundrel, you are sowing discord and inciting me to fight with my third sister. Aren't you afraid that I will report to my mother and punish you severely?"

Cai Yinglin calmly said, "The evidence of treason has already been placed in the Duke of Wei's mansion by the Third Prince and his accomplices. The mansion is on the verge of collapse. I hope Your Highness will visit the Duke of Wei's mansion and see for yourself whether what I have said is true."

"Oh? What if that was arranged by the Crown Prince? If I were to investigate now, wouldn't I be falling into your trap?"

Cai Yinglin smiled without saying a word, only quietly looking at Ji Cunzhen.

After a long while, Ji Cunzhen raised his leg and kicked Cai Yinglin hard.

too fast!

Cai Yinglin had no chance to dodge. A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he felt his blood surging. "Your Highness, please don't push your luck!"

"Ha! You're clearly plotting against me, but I'm just asking for some interest first. I can't accept that now!"

Ji Cunzhen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Lord Cai, if I find any fault with you, then you... can just wait to die!"

After speaking, the fourth prince, Ji Cunzhen, transformed into a rainbow and departed.

A moment later, Tsai Ying-lin chuckled softly.

If Ji Cunzhen enters the Duke of Wei's mansion today, she is doomed!

This grudge will never be settled, even if you want to seek revenge later.
