The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Finally, because of Su Chengde's pleas, the old lady softened her heart, and Liu Hui was punished by being locked in a small Buddhist hall to copy Buddhist scriptures until Su Fuying's coming-of-age ceremony.

If the money in the ledger is returned within three days, the matter will be forgiven; otherwise, Su Chengde will have to divorce her.

Su Fuying was fairly satisfied with the result, because there were still two months until her coming-of-age ceremony, and if she could maintain a period of peace and quiet, that would be a good thing.

If the other party remains unrepentant and restless, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Back in the old lady's courtyard, Su Fuying took her pulse as usual, took out her newly improved pills, and gave her a few instructions. Then she heard the old lady say with a smile, "Ying'er is a princess now, and I haven't paid my respects to her yet."

“What are you saying, Grandmother? You are the elder.”

The old lady patted Su Fuying's hand affectionately, "You should pay attention to etiquette when you're out, or people will gossip about you."

On the way back to the courtyard, Biluo said excitedly, "Miss is so amazing, she even managed to invite the manager of Manyuelou."

Thinking about how their jaws dropped just now made me feel a sense of satisfaction.

"Is the manager of Full Moon Pavilion really that arrogant?" Su Fuying asked curiously.

She didn't know that the appearance of the manager of Full Moon Pavilion would make even Su Chengde so respectful.

Yingyi said he would pick her up and use her services. He thought she was just an old man who knew how to keep accounts, but he didn't expect her to have such a high status.

Biluo was somewhat surprised. "Ah, Miss, you didn't know?"

"Manyue Tower is that person's property. It's very famous. Although it's expensive, which of the powerful and wealthy people in the capital would dare to disrespect it?"

Su Fuying suddenly felt something was off. That person? Logically speaking, the Regent was capricious and ruthless, so why would the Shadowless Palace order him around so casually?

......

In the dead of night, the noisy croaking of frogs filled the air. A dark figure skillfully scaled the threshold of a courtyard and, just as it reached the gate, heard voices coming from inside.

A somewhat anxious voice came from behind: "Why haven't you brought what I asked for yet?"

"The master said we'll have to wait a few more days; these things are hard to find now."

"Wait any longer? I can't wait any longer. He's changed his attitude towards me now."

"Please be patient for a few more days; this matter cannot be rushed."

"Alright, hurry up. Also, tell Father to give me 300,000 taels of silver within these three days."

Upon hearing this, another voice suddenly rose, "What, three hundred thousand taels?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"Yes, but three hundred thousand is a bit too much for two or three days."

"Don't worry about it, Father has a way."

Su Fuying had no interest in listening to the rest. She had originally come to the room to look for something, but she hadn't expected that the person who was supposed to be confined in the Buddhist hall would actually return to his own courtyard.

A moment later, Su Fuying looked at the unconscious Su Wan'er, walked to the bedside and groped around, finally finding a thick stack of papers in the makeup box.

Looking out at the moonlight, she saw countless ancient poems written on it, all from her era.

Su Fuying was shocked, wondering who had done this. She was quite eager to meet this person who came from the same place as her.

She wondered if Su Wan'er was too good at disguising herself, since she was just as good at disguising herself in her previous life.

The image of that man flashed through her mind. Tsk, he's so despicable. He'll definitely make her offer conditions in exchange for it again.

Forget it, it's not worth it.

After putting my things away, I returned to the courtyard. The sky was gradually brightening, but it wasn't fully dawn yet; the sun hadn't risen. According to the time of day, it should be approaching the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).

She stood quietly in the center of the courtyard, enjoying the tranquility and coolness of the early morning.

Hearing the noise behind him, Ying Er turned around and quickly climbed over the courtyard wall. Seeing Su Fuying standing in the middle of the courtyard, he was somewhat surprised. "You're pretending to be a ghost here in the middle of the night?"

"Don't be rude to the princess." As soon as Biluo saw that it was this person again, she immediately stepped out from the side.

Suddenly, she noticed that Shadow Two wasn't wearing his usual black mask today.

In the bright moonlight, his face was clearly visible. His eyebrows were neither too thick nor too thin, just right to outline a kind of heroic spirit; while his large eyes appeared exceptionally clear, like deep lake water.

At this moment, a carefree expression appeared on his face. When he heard Biluo's words, he turned his head and looked directly into her eyes.

In that instant, their eyes met. Biluo was stunned for a moment, never expecting him to be so...handsome.

"you again."

The moment Ying Er spoke, Bi Luo's thoughts were instantly disrupted. The slight goodwill she had felt just moments before vanished, and she frowned, glaring angrily at Ying Er.

"All right."

Su Fuying interrupted.

"Shadow Two, do you know why I brought you here?"

"Come and tidy up..."

Halfway through his sentence, Shadow Two suddenly stopped and continued, "His Majesty said he would give you some pointers."

Thinking back to Su Fuying's moves last time, I never expected I'd need his guidance, haha.

Seeing the smug look on Shadow Two's face, he blinked nonchalantly and said, "Yeah, how about we start now?"

"Hurrah."

Although this woman saved the Venerable One last time, she kicked him. This time, he wants revenge and to make the Venerable One look good.

As soon as Ying Er finished speaking, a silver needle gleaming with cold light flew swiftly toward his face.

"I rely on."

Shadow Two reacted quickly, spinning to the left to barely dodge.

This woman has no sense of martial ethics; she just started hitting me.

After regaining his footing, Ying Er looked at the silver needles that were halfway into the courtyard wall. The needle tips trembled slightly, and Ying Er felt a chill run down his spine. How could a woman have such a strong grip? Luckily, he reacted quickly.

Turning to look at the sly-looking person, she said, "Since that's the case, Miss Su, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, he went straight to meet them.

Seeing that she had no weapon and he hadn't drawn his sword either, Shadow Two felt increasingly uneasy after a few rounds of fighting. He wondered why this woman's kung fu was so strange.

How troublesome! In the end, Shadow Two used his internal energy to unleash a palm strike to quickly create distance and avoid Su Fuying's fierce attack.

"What kind of move is that?" Shadow Two asked, frowning.

I saw her spar with the Venerable One last time, but I was far away and didn't get a good look at her moves. Seeing her today, I was quite surprised.

"Naturally, it's a move I created myself." Su Fuying sneered and charged forward again.

Shadow Two was startled. He hadn't expected this woman to be able to create such a bizarre move. It seemed he had truly underestimated her. However, he wouldn't easily admit defeat, after all, he was one of the best among the Shadow Guards.

The two engaged in another fierce battle. Su Fuying's attacks became increasingly ferocious, while Ying Er relied on constant dodging and counterattacks.

Finally, Su Fuying seized the opportunity, slashed horizontally, and kicked Ying Er away while he dodged to the side.

Shadow Two: "..."

To be like His Excellency is worthwhile.

"Stop, stop, stop. Do you need me to instruct you on your martial arts skills?"

Shadow Two was somewhat unconvinced, but he could only stand up, dust himself off, and prepare to leave.

"What were your master's exact words?"

"His Majesty didn't say anything, it was Huai Chen who spoke..."

"Him? What did he say?"

Su Fuying roughly knew what was going on.

"Tell me to teach you a lesson."

Su Fuying chuckled, "Did he tell you that he almost died by my blade?"

Ying Er was shocked upon hearing this, and inwardly cursed Huai Chen for being inhuman, knowing full well that he couldn't win, yet still trying to instigate him.

Huai Chen, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a little cold, sneezed a few times, and then lay down to continue sleeping.

Su Fuying explained to him why she had come, and Ying Er grumbled unhappily, "So it's because Xiao San'er isn't here that she came to me. I'm just a backup plan."

"A backup plan?"

Su Fuying realized that this word probably didn't belong in this era.

Thinking of this, Su Fuying's eyes darkened, and she asked, "Where did you learn this word?"
