To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

Su Mingyue looked at the Fourth Prince as if he were an idiot: "Fourth Prince, are you alright? You are a prince, and I am the eldest daughter of the Su family. What relationship could there be between us? Are you trying to say that your princely identity is fake and that your true identity is something else?"

The fourth prince listened to her words, met her eyes, and a flash of malice crossed his eyes. What did she mean by saying all this all of a sudden? Could it be that she knew something?

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. You brought me into the palace, and did Father punish me? You're still too green to fight me; you're overestimating yourself." After saying this, the Fourth Prince turned and left.

Su Mingyue returned to the Su residence in the middle of the night. No sooner had she arrived than Xiao Zhan came over.

……

Su Ziyu soon learned that the Fourth Prince had returned to the capital.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed to hear that he was coming back and would have wanted to run to him immediately.

The fourth prince sent her a message, telling her to wait for him at the usual place.

She bit her lip, told Madam Ruan that she was going out, and then went to the courtyard where she often fooled around with the Fourth Prince.

Upon meeting, the Fourth Prince naturally showered her with affection first.

“Ziyu, Su Mingyue has found out about your affair. That woman is extremely malicious. I have a kind of medicine here. Find an opportunity to give it to her. Once she takes this medicine, I won’t have to worry about her being disobedient in the future.”

Su Ziyu looked at the porcelain bottle he took out: "Are you going to harm her?"

"She bullied you so much before, of course I will avenge you. Don't you remember the things she did to you? These medicines are not potent poisons, but slow-acting ones. Find an opportunity to give them to her, and her brain will become disordered. Then Lord Su can find an excuse to lock her up and she will never be able to appear in public again."

Su Ziyu accepted it with a smile: "You're so good to me. I'll definitely make her eat it, and make her wish she were dead."

"You're the best." The Fourth Prince looked at her tenderly; "After I succeed in my mission, I will definitely marry you as my Empress."

Speaking of this, Su Ziyu's eyes sparkled, and she began to sob: "Your Highness, how could someone like me become your Empress? As long as you don't mind in the future, just give me any title you like. I truly love Your Highness, and as long as Your Highness doesn't mind me, I will never leave you."

"I know you are the most sensible. How could I go back on my promise to you? No matter what you become, you will always be my wife." The Fourth Prince embraced her. "But things are not yet settled, and there are many things to do. Su Mingyue bullied you before, and she is the future Princess Consort of Zhan. If we don't deal with her now, she will be even more difficult to deal with once she marries into the Zhan Prince's mansion. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You want to make the War King give up the idea of ​​marrying her."

“She cannot marry the Prince. She possesses extraordinary medical skills and enjoys popular support. If she marries the Prince, his prestige and influence will only increase. Not only do I not want her to marry the Prince of War, but Father and several other brothers also do not want to see such an outcome. Therefore, she must be eliminated and cannot be allowed to live.”

Su Ziyu nodded sensibly: "Okay, I will definitely do as you say."

The Fourth Prince was very satisfied with her performance.

If you treat a woman with kindness, she will obediently do things for you.

After receiving the porcelain bottle, Su Ziyu went directly to Su Mingyue's room.

She needs to negotiate with Su Mingyue.

Everyone here belongs to the Su family. While the Fourth Prince outwardly wants to get rid of Su Mingyue, he secretly also wants to get rid of himself. If anything happens to Su Mingyue, the Fourth Prince will definitely pin the blame on her and make her take the fall.

"Send your maid away. I have something to discuss with you," Su Ziyu said softly, glancing at Xingchun.

"Xingchun, you can all leave now." Su Mingyue's voice was languid, with a slightly sleepy hoarse tone: "Speak, what is it?"

"I want to cooperate with you. After it's done, you'll help me fake my death and escape, how about it?"

"Cooperation? What can you cooperate with me on?" Su Mingyue smiled lightly: "We'll see if you're worth cooperating with. You've framed me many times before, and now you're suddenly coming to my door asking for cooperation. Are you trying to trick me?"

Su Ziyu took out a porcelain bottle: "This was given to me by the Fourth Prince. He told me to find an opportunity to feed it to you." Su Ziyu took out the poison: "You exposed his return to the capital. He wants to use me to get rid of you."

"Weren't you the one who hated me the most before, wishing you could get rid of me as soon as possible? Now that the Fourth Prince is giving you the opportunity to avenge yourself, you should just do as he says. Why did you have to confess to me?" Su Mingyue picked up a rose cake and stuffed it into her mouth, then wiped the crumbs off her hands.

"Do you think someone like me, a fallen woman, still has any use to them? If I were Su Sihai's biological daughter, he might try to save me. But I'm not his biological daughter; I'm a fake. After this is done, they will definitely get rid of me. They won't have any worries if I disappear completely."

"Looks like you're not so stupid lately, you even know about this."

"Did you already know this?"

“I know far more than you do.” Su Mingyue looked at her: “How do you plan to cooperate with me to expose the Fourth Prince’s true identity, or do you plan to expose your own true identity?”

"Of course, it's to expose my own identity and, incidentally, reveal the identity of the Fourth Prince. As long as his identity is questionable, the Emperor will definitely investigate. I refuse to believe that the Emperor would pass the throne to a son without royal blood."

Su Mingyue became interested and took the bottle from Su Ziyu's hand: "Then do you want to do something bigger?"

"what?"

"Put this on Su Sihai. It's a slow-acting poison; it won't cause immediate harm, but it will confuse his mind. Don't you want to know what he'll say when his mind is clouded? Isn't it more interesting to let them dig their own graves than to have us do it?"

Su Ziyu couldn't help but smile upon hearing her words.

"Even after learning that he wasn't my biological father, I never thought of doing anything to him. You are his biological daughter, though. I wonder what his expression would be if he knew."

"How do you know I must be his biological daughter? He would even abandon his own flesh and blood for them, let alone me."

Su Ziyu frowned: "Could it be that you're not his biological daughter either? What exactly is he trying to do?"

"Whether he's his biological son or not, in my heart, he doesn't deserve to be a father." Su Mingyue sneered, "Here's your stuff back. Do what you want with it. If you suddenly turn against him and report him, that's fine too."

"I have no way out now, only to cooperate with you. Cooperating with you is the only way for me to survive. If I don't cooperate with you, I will only face death."

"After it's done, I'll arrange for you to fake your death and leave." Su Mingyue had essentially agreed.
