The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Smelly?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.

"Princess Yongle must have a bad nose. The garden is full of fragrant flowers, where is the stench coming from?" someone couldn't help but say.

"Yeah, maybe she's just foul-mouthed?" another person chimed in, but in a low voice, only daring to speak to the person next to them.

Of course, he could only mutter these words to himself and dared not say them aloud in front of Su Fuying.

Ren Yinxue's eyes flickered slightly, feeling somewhat uncertain, but then she thought that these things were so secretive, how could she possibly have found out?

"Miss Su, what do you mean by this? Why would you say such a thing out of the blue?" Ren Yinxue frowned and looked at Su Fuying. Her carefully tended garden had been described as smelly, and Ren Yinxue's tone was somewhat displeased.

Su Fuying sneered, "Is there anything in this courtyard that Miss Ren doesn't know? Do I need to explain it to her?" Her gaze was icy as she looked at Ren Yinxue, as if she could see through everything.

Ren Yinxue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she really knew something?

Her inquisitive gaze swept back and forth over Su Fuying, and she quickly realized she was being somewhat ridiculous.

She was just a country bumpkin; even if she was somewhat pretty, she wasn't enough to make him so wary.

Thinking of this, her attitude hardened. "Miss Su, I advise you to be careful with your words and actions."

Su Fuying coldly replied, "Would you like me to personally lift up this clod of earth and see what's hidden inside?"

"Furthermore, I hope Miss Ren will not forget my identity as a princess."

She was, after all, a princess, and Ren Yinxue kept emphasizing her status as "Miss Su," wasn't that because she didn't want to admit that she was inferior to her?

Ren Yinxue was speechless for a moment. Her hands, hidden at her sides, clenched into fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms. She had only one thought in her mind: Su Fuying must not live!

However, she still managed a forced smile and said, "Your Highness is quite the joker. Let's not delay any longer and go to the front for our meal." To the others, this sounded like Ren Yinxue was feeling guilty, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what was buried in the soil.

Even worse, some people walked with their heads down, sniffing intensely with their noses, but couldn't get any information out of them.

Upon reaching the courtyard gate, the maids and servants were just setting the lunch table when Ji Zhiyun appeared from the side, her face showing some admiration.

"Princess, you're amazing! You even dared to talk back to Miss Ren like that. It's so satisfying."

She glanced around again and continued to complain in a low voice, "She just relies on her relationship with the Regent to look down on everyone and everything. It's so annoying to look at."

Su Fuying's lips curled up slightly. "She not only has the Regent, but also the Grand Tutor's father and the Empress's aunt."

"Cough cough."

Ji Zhiyun coughed twice, touched her nose, and thought that Su Fuying was right, who told her to be born into a good family.

"what?"

There was something missing. Looking behind Su Fuying, she realized that her maid, Biluo, who used to be inseparable from her, was gone.

He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where is that girl, Biluo?"

Su Fuying smiled but didn't reply, only giving Ji Zhiyun a mysterious smile.

Shangshu Mansion.

Seeing that no one was around, Shadow Two felt that he had finally waited for the perfect opportunity.

He estimated that Su Fuying wouldn't be back until dark, and a sense of anticipation welled up inside him. He excitedly jumped and landed steadily on the courtyard wall.

However, just then, a familiar yet strange laugh came from outside the courtyard wall.

Upon closer inspection, Ying Er realized that the person was actually Bi Luo! A sly smile played on her lips, which aroused suspicion in everyone.

"Biluo? What are you doing here?" Ying'er's face showed a hint of surprise and confusion, and he almost fell off the courtyard wall. After calming himself down, he couldn't help but ask.

Biluo let out a playful chuckle and teased, "What? Did my return interrupt your good time?"

Upon hearing this, Shadow Two immediately felt a little guilty, and stammered, "Wha...what good news?"

Realizing that his reaction was somewhat inappropriate, Ying Er muttered to himself, "I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty?"

Then, his tone gradually became more self-righteous: "Why did you come back instead of protecting your master?"

Faced with Ying Er's questioning, Bi Luo snorted, appearing quite smug. She raised her chin and said, "Hmph, luckily my young lady is astute; she knew you had ill intentions and specifically sent me back to keep an eye on you."

After saying that, he glanced at Shadow Two on the wall and said, "Luckily I came back in time, otherwise your evil plan would have succeeded."

Seeing that Biluo's words were getting more and more outrageous, Ying Er was speechless. "What do you mean by having ill intentions? Where would I have any evil plans?" He felt that he was more wronged than Dou E!

Biluo looked at him suspiciously. "Aren't you going to climb over the wall to do something bad?" she thought to herself. This guy must have some kind of scheme.

Ying Er quickly waved his hands, "I'm innocent! I've always been loyal and devoted to the princess, how could I possibly do anything wrong? I just wanted to go back to Wuying Palace to check on things; I was a little worried." He didn't want to be wrongly accused of being a bad guy.

"Look? No need to look. I already asked when I came back, and there's still no news from your lord. No news is good news, so don't worry," Biluo assured her, patting her chest.

Shadow Two frowned, still somewhat worried, "But..."

"No buts, go in first, or you won't be able to leave once someone sees you."

After Biluo finished speaking, she went in through the side door. Ying Er, seeing that he probably couldn't leave today, had no choice but to follow her back into the courtyard.

He couldn't help but feel indignant for himself. "Your Majesty, I have done my best. Today I risked everything to try and inform you, but I didn't expect this woman to be so cunning. I still got caught."

Only Biluo and Ying Er remained in the courtyard, staring at each other. Judging from Biluo's appearance, she would probably follow him closely all day. Gradually, Ying Er also gave up his idea of ​​sneaking away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me, Your Highness."

The maid's sudden voice rang out in the hall, and everyone who was still chatting and laughing turned to look.

A maid was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and kowtowing repeatedly to Su Fuying.

Su Fuying looked down at the large water stain on her chest, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Forgive me? Do you know what crime it is to offend this princess?"

The woman's voice was icy, and when it reached the maid's ears, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her body trembled even more violently.

"This servant knows, please spare my life, Your Highness."

Su Fuying snorted coldly, her voice indifferent, "Since you know you're guilty, then deal with it according to the law."

"what?"
